28、ies become endangered.英语 第 7页，共 14页In the United States, loss of habitats is the main reason for species becoming endangered.As populations grow and cities or towns expand, nature is destroyed and the ecosystem isaffected. Even small changes in one part of an ecosystem can have a big impact on anoth
29、erpart of it. For example, deforestation may result in a change in ground temperature, which maykill off a certain kind of plant in the forest. Animals that eat this plant may suddenly find thatthere is no available food so they starve to death.Another possible cause of endangered or extinct species
30、 is climate change and rising sealevels. As the Earth gets warmer, this has profound effects on animal and plant life everywhere.For example, rising sea levels make coastal areas unfit for birds to live in. Warmertemperatures melt the ice where polar bears live, wrecking their habitat and making it
31、harderfor them to find food. The rising seas also make it harder for polar bears to swim from the coldwaters to frozen packs of ice so many of them drown.There are several ways that people are trying to help endangered species recover.Ecologists study different species and try to find out more infor
32、mation about them to try andhelp. In Finland, for example, scientists found that a decrease in the number of bogs（沼泽）was responsible for the falling butterfly population. Once they understood this, they couldmanage the butterfly population and help it recover. Governments are also passing laws topro
33、tect endangered animals. One example of this is an area near Hawaii with a seriously lowfish population. The United States government has made it illegal for fishing boats to enterthis area.28. What can we infer from paragraph 2?A. Most endangered species are located in the United States.B. Cities a

37、eimers, a study on rats has found.After monitoring the ratsbrain activity, researchers from the University of California LosAngeles discovered electrical activity in a region known as the hippocampus neurons (海马体神经元) differed depending on whether the rats were placed in realworld or VR environments.
38、The new findings are significant as the hippocampus is a primary driver of learning andmemory in the brain.When rats walk around in real life, electrical activity in the hippocampus appears tosynchronize (同步发生) at a rate of eight heartbeats per second. Heartbeats at this frequencyare generally known
39、 as “theta () waves”, with stronger waves seeming to improve thebrains ability to learn and keep sensory information. When placed in a VR environment, therats waves became stronger.“It turns out that amazing things happen when the rat is in virtual reality.” said ProfMayank Mehta from UCLA. The scie
40、ntists also found that VR environments could changedifferent electrical rhythms in different parts of the neurons, which indicates that scientistsmay be able to control human brain rhythms.“This is a new technology that has great potential,” Mehta said. The study also indicateswhy VR may stimulate t
41、hese unique brain waves. A big part of it, Mehta puts, may be down tothe very different set of stimuli presented in VR.英语 第 9页，共 14页Imagine that youre approaching a doorway in real life. Your eyes see the door gettinglarger. But how do you know that youre moving forward and the door isnt coming to y
42、ou?The answer is that your brain uses information such as the acceleration of your head throughspace or the shift of weight from one foot to the otherinformation that may not be presentduring a VR experience.32. What makes the new findings important?A. VRs contributions to learning have finally been
43、 identified.B. VR can affect electrical activity in the hippocampus neurons.C. VR produces the same effects on brains as real environments.D. VR is likely to become another driver for learning and memory.33. What can we learn about waves?A. They dont respond to different brain rhythms.B. They remain
44、 stable in different environments.C. They affect how human perceive knowledge.D. They have little to do with the rate of heartbeats.34. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 5 refer to?A. The potential of the new technology.B. The control of human brain rhythms.C. The change in different p
45、arts of neurons.D. The stimulation of the unique brain waves.35. How does the author introduce VRs different set of stimuli?A. By conducting further tests on rats.B. By comparing different environments.C. By providing a detailed analysis.D. By explaining the theory of VR.第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2.5 分，满分 12.5

As we restore the land, I feel my wellbeing returning, butI think the farm is also working its magic on our sons growing resilience (适应能力).

49、 thrive as a result.39The land needed clearing, and Doug, our workman, worked steadily and helpedwhenever I asked.
