A health magazineD. A cultural newspaperD It is common to see many different kinds of insects while spending time outside in the summer. Some of them do not trouble people and can even add beauty to the natural environment. Other insects can harm the environment or humans. The population of these insects seems to stay large and healthy.But scientists say this does not appear to be true for some flying insects that serve an important purpose. There is growing evidence that these insects are decreasing across the world.One researcher looking into the present insect population is Doug Tallamy, a professor at the University of Delaware. He remembers walking through Washington D. C., in the past when it was “alive with insects, especially butterflies. Now, he said, “The flying insects are actually gone. Wilson said this point seemed to be proved during a drive he made last year from Boston to Vermont. He was surprised that, during his trip, he counted only one insect that had hit the cars front window. Several other scientists have carried out similar tests by checking how many insects hit their cars while traveling.While researchers admit this method is not scientific, they say it can still help them understand the changing flying insect population.There have not been many studies done on the flying insect populations covering large areas. However, some international research suggests a downward turn. In 2022, a group of studies showed that there had been a 14-percent drop in ladybugs(瓢虫) in the United States and Canada from 1987 to 2022. In Germany, a 2022 study found an 82-percent drop in the number of flying insects compared to levels recorded in 1990.After the German study, other countries also started looking into the problem. David Wagner of the University of Connecticut says other evidence leads him to believe the findings of the 2022 study are “clearly not a German thing.32.The underlined word “this in Paragraph 2 refers to the fact that _.A. The insects cause trouble to people. B. The insects harm the environment.C. The insects are numerous and healthy. D. The insects love staying indoors.33.How does Wilson try to prove the flying insects are gone?A. By making some comparisons. B. By using his personal experience.C. By listing research results. D. By studying the causes.34.What does David Wagner think of the 2022 German study?A. He considers the study isnt done in German ways.B. He thinks its less believable than other evidence.C. He considers the German study is a good start.D. He thinks other places also have the problem.35.In which section of a magazine may this text appear?A. Nature. B. Education. C. Entertainment. D. Health.第二节 共5小题；每题2分根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填空白处的最正确选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。                   Proven Ways to Make a Good First Impression (印象)Want to be more memorable? These tips will help you have a lasting connection with anyone you meet.    Smile!    People who smile tend to manage and sell more effectively, and raise happier children. Your facial expression is typically the first thing someone notices about you when they make a judgement.   36      Think about your purposes  37   Do you want to make a new friend? Network?
