The number f birds in Nrth America has declined (减少) by almst 3 billin since 1970, accrding t a study published in Science. The researchers estimated changes in the ppulatins f 529 species using lng-term bird-mnitring databases. Thse data shwed that the number f individual birds acrss all f thse species had decreased by 29 percent, frm arund 10 billin in 1970 t just ver 7 billin in 2017.
“The data they used prvide prbably the best lng term, large infrmatin n species abundances (物种丰度) fr any grup f animals r plants anywhere in the wrld,” Natalie Wright, a bird bilgist tells The Atlantic. “There’s always uncertainty, but if they are wrng, they are likely underestimating the size f ppulatin declines.”
The team als examined 10 years’ wrth f data frm a netwrk f 143 weather radars, which pick up bird migratins, and fund a reductin in migratry bimass f abut 14 percent since 2007. “Tw cmpletely different and independent mnitring techniques thus signal majr ppulatin lss acrss the cntinent,” the authrs wrte in their paper.
The results are particularly cncerning because many f the species shwing declines are nt cnsidered rare r in danger, but are almst everywhere and ptentially act as imprtant cntributrs t fd webs and ecsystem (生态系统) functin. Mre than 90 percent f the lss in abundance in the survey data was due t declines in 12 families including sparrws and blackbirds. Sme ther species, including many ducks, instead shwed increases in abundance-pssibly as a result f fcused cnservatin effrts in recent years.
The findings shuld be a wake-up call. Many f the birds studied spend time in multiple cuntries within and beynd Nrth America. What ur birds need nw is a histric, glbal effrt that unites peple and rganizatins with ne cmmn gal: bringing ur birds back.
8. Hw des the first paragraph shw the bird reductin?
A. By cmparing figures.B. By ding experiments.
C. By using experts’ wrds.D. By listing sme examples.
9. What can we infer abut the functin f the data accrding t Natalie Wright?
A. It’s wrng.B. It’s frmal.
C. It’s helpfulD. It’s useless.
10. Which f the fllwing is particularly wrrying?
A. The ppulatin f widespread species is declining.
B. Few species acrss the cntinent shw the increase.
C. Sme ducks are likely t lse their ecsystem functin.
D. The fcus f cnservatin effrts has turned ut wrng.
11. What is the authr’s purpse in writing the text?
A. T pint ut the imprtance f raising birds.
B. T call n peple t wrk tgether t bring birds back.
C. T analyze the cncerning results f lng-term research.
D. T infrm peple f the dangers many species are facing.
