7、l health challengesEvery year millions of breeding monarch butterflies in the U.S. and southern Canada search for milkweed plants on which to lay their eggs. Concern over shrinking habitat (居住地)has urged conservationists to create monarch-friendly spaces along roadsides, which are more than enough w

They eventually do become desensitized to itbut that might cause trouble to them later on, too.Noise pollution is known to affect the lives of birds, whales and other creat

9、ures. But until recently, scientists had never tested whether it leads to a stress response in insects. When Andy Davis, a conservation physiologist at the University of Georgia, noticed online videos of roadside monarch caterpillars apparently trembling as cars came by, he wondered how the constant

10、 noise might affect them. Davis built a custom caterpillar heart monitor, fitting a small sensor into a microscope to precisely measure monarch catcrpillars, heart rates as they listened to recordings of traffic sounds in the laboratory.The hearts of caterpillars exposed to highway noise for two hou

11、rs beat 17 percent faster than those of cateipillars in a silent room. But the heart rates of the noise-exposed group returned to baseline levels after hearing the traffic sounds nonstop for their entire 12-day development period, Davis and his colleagues reported in May in Biology Letters.This dese

12、nsitization could be problematic when the caterpillars become adults, Davis says. A rapid stress response is vital for monarch butterflies on their two-month journey to spend winters in Mexico, as they narrowly escape predators （捕食者）and fight wind currents.Whether a noisy developmental period reduce

19、nvironmental value, new transportation has to sufficiently replace or eliminate driving to cut energy consumption overall. That means that a new traffic system has to be supported by reduction in car use. Traffic lanes should be eliminated or converted into bike or bus lanes. Ideally, these should b

20、e combined with higher fuel taxes, and parking fees. Needless to say, I have to struggle to make myself extensively understood. But theyre necessary, because you cant make people drive less, in the long run, by taking steps that make driving more pleasant, economical, and productive.Lengthy commutin

21、g （通勤）time is a forceful factor which can slow the growth of suburbs. The farther people live away from cities, the longer commuting time they need, which means more pollution their cars produce. If, in a misguided effort to do something of environmental value, governments take steps that make long-

22、distance car commuting faster or more convenient-by adding lanes, building bypass, employing traffic-control measures that make it possible for existing roads to accommodate more cars with fewer delays-we are actually encouraging people to live still farther from their jobs, stores, and schools. As

23、a result, governments are forced to further extend road networks, water lines, and other facilities. If you cut commuting time by 10 percent, people who now drive fifty miles each way to work can find reason to move five miles farther out, because their travel time wont change.Traffic congestion （拥堵

24、）isnt an environmental problem; traffic is. Relieving congestion without doing anything to reduce the total volume of cars can only make the real problem worse. Highway engineers have known for a long time that building new car lanes only temporarily reduces congestion, because the new lanes add add

25、itional driving. Widening roads makes traffic move faster in the short term, but the improved conditions eventually attract additional drivers, and congestion reappears. With more car on the roads, people think about widening roads again. Moving drivers out of cars and into other forms of transporta

26、tion can have the same effect, if existing traffic lanes are kept in service: road space stimulates road use.One of the arguments that cities inevitably make in promoting transportation plans is that the new system, by relieving automobile congestion, will improve the lives of those who continue to

27、drive. No one ever promotes a transportation system by arguing that it would make travelling less convenient-even though, from an environmental perspective, inconvenient travel is a worthy goal.63 . In the first paragraph, the author gives us the hint that his recommendations are.A. not widely suppo

28、rtedB. costly to carry outC. generally recognizedD. temporarily beneficial64. According to the passage, what will happen if commuting time for drivers is reduced?A. Drivers will become more productive employees.B. Mass transportation will be extended farther into suburban areas.C. Drivers will be mo

30、e carried out immediately.B , They are well intentioned but ultimately lead to environmental harm.C. They will definitely arouse peoples awareness of environmental protection.D. They will only work if they can make driving more economical and productive.66. The author wrote this massage mainly to.A.

33、bout airline food being bland （淡而无味）and tasteless? How many times have you stopped from ordering any food at all during a flight because we find it unappetizing? Sadly, we might have just been proven to simply be too critical. According to popularly accepted studies, the reason for the bad food5 mig

34、ht just be a change in our ability to perceive taste.The Fraunhofer Institute, a research organization based in Germany, conducted a study on why a dish that would be perfectly acceptable in a fine dining restaurant would seem bland while in the air. 67 What is happening, then?To maintain the pressu

35、re inside the cabin, airlines must closely regulate the air inside. This involves changing the composition of air that we breathe. The air inside airplane cabins is 15 percent drier than the air we breathe when we9re on the ground. 68 Scent actually starts to deteriorate the moment you step on a pla

36、ne. The situation worsens once the airplane begins to climb, which makes passengers more dehydrated （脱水）and dry-mouthed. No one can deny that a glass of lemonade goes great with a meal on a sunny day, but it feels more acidic when you take a sip ten kilometers above the ground.Although the cabin is

37、pressurized to mimic the air pressure you would feel on the ground, its still less than the pressure we would normally experience at sea level. In this situation, our bodily fluids （体液）will move upwards and the nasal cavities （鼻腔）swell. The swelling messes with our taste buds, making the food taste

38、unappealing.69 Research has also shown that the lower temperature and air pressure on an airplane both make it harder to detect odorants, which are airborne molecules that stimulate the noses sensory cells and play an important role in the tasting process.70 These collectively produce a rather const

39、ant noise that can be as loud as 85 decibels （分贝），which is equivalent to city traffic. It might seem like a weird reason for food to taste bland, but researchers have found that loud noises inhibit our ability to appreciate sweet flavors.A. Essentially, its harder to smell on an airplane, so its als

40、o harder to taste.B. You might know how dining in such conditions feel, since weve all fought colds or flu in the past.C. In an environment like this, your powers of taste and smell begin to drift away.D. Since sweet and salty foods suffer the most, airlines have begun to add more salt and spice to

41、give their food some added vigor.E. In a mock aircraft cabin, researchers tried out ingredients at both sea level and in a pressurized condition and the differences in taste were startling.F. Flight noises include vibrations from the air striking the hull （机身）,as well as the roaring of the engines a

43、n the warm, shallow parts of the Earths oceans, are probably the biggest builders on the planet. Coral polyps turn calcium from seawater into a hard material called limestone. Slowly, they build up a hard skeleton （骨架）around their bodies. When polyps die, their skeletons remain. Young polyps attach

44、themselves to the old skeletons and make new skeletons. Over time, weird and wonderful shapes are slowly built up into amazing coral reefs （珊瑚礁）.Scientists sometimes think of coral reefs as underwater cities. A quarter of all known marine species live in reef habitatsthere are nearly a thousand cora

Lastly, chemicals from reef creatures help scientists create new medicines, which help doctors treat different illnesses.Coral reefs are very important, yet we dont take good care of them. Environmental problems have already killed about twenty percent

47、of the worlds reefs. About half of the remaining reefs are dying, and experts believe all of Earths coral reefs will be in danger by 2050.Why are the reefs in such trouble? For one thing, people catch too many reef fish and often damage the reefs-divers sometimes break off pieces of coral.Polluted w
