Alaska's Yukn River has faced majr salmn shrtages in recent years. Officials say recrd­high temperatures killed mst salmn in the 3，200­kilmeter river befre the fish were able t reprduce. The lsses led Alaska t stp their salmn harvests in 2021 t make sure that enugh fish survived t reprduce fr anther year.
The pr salmn harvests caused majr financial lsses t private fishing cmpanies in the area. The die­ffs als hurt native cmmunities, which traditinally stre the fish as a year­rund fd supply.
The U．S.Department f Cmmerce declared a disaster fr Yukn River fishing fr 2020 and 2021, making aid mney available. Alaska has sent emergency fish shipments t areas affected by the salmn shrtages.
Scientists have mstly blamed the prblems n a series f heat waves in the Bering Sea and Nrth Pacific Ocean frm 2014 t 2019. The warm cean waters affected salmn's living in the sea befre they returned t lay eggs.
Climate change may als be affecting what the salmn are eating. Fishing experts say yung salmn are likely filling up n nutrient­pr fd because warmer waters drive away healthier rganisms(有机物) they nrmally feed n. “In my pinin, the salmn are starving with climate change，” said Brke Wds in the Yukn River Inter­Tribal Fish Cmmissin.
The effects f climate change n freshwater envirnments have als been studied. Vanessa vn Biela is a bilgist wh lked at the rivers, streams and lakes where salmn live. Her team fund that Chink salmn shw heat stress at temperatures abve 18℃. They start dying abve 20℃. In 2019, temperatures n the Alaskan side were abve 18℃ fr 44 straight days, a study fund.
The effects f warming waters can be reduced by the climate­driven glacier(冰川) runff, which brings cler water int rivers and streams. But scientists still expect salmn t begin slwly mving t new areas within Alaska. “Salmn will find a way，” said Biela. “But it's ging t be hard fr cmmunities in places where there might nt be salmn anymre.”
28.What d the lcals rely n salmn fr?
A. Fd supply. B. Scientific study.
C. Green turism. D. Water imprvement.
29. What did the declaratin f the disaster bring abut?
A. Financial lsses. B.Fast delivery.
C. Ecnmic grwth. D. Relief funds.
30. Which f the fllwing is the effect f climate change in Yukn River?
A. N healthy rganisms are left there.
B. Salmn there lse the ability t lay eggs.
C. Salmn there g shrt f nutritius fd.
D. The temperature remains abve 18℃ till nw.
31. What can be inferred frm the last paragraph?
A. Measures t prtect salmn are effective.

Three yung American men were n a crwded train when they came acrss a dangerus rbber. Ignring their persnal safety, they rushed the rbber and cntrlled him. Only sme peple seem capable f this sudden frm f herism (英雄主义). Why sme men rise t the ccasin — and thers dn’t — has been a bit difficult t explain. Psychlgists have explred this questin thrugh bilgical and persnality psychlgy.
Of curse, herism and curage can appear in many frms, and men and wmen risk their reputatin ( 名声), health, and scial recgnitin t d what they think is right. When it cmes t physically risky bravery, peple assume that men will take the lead. There are sund bilgical reasns fr this fixed image. One f the mst cmmn fears in men is that they will be viewed as a cward (懦夫), and a man wh fails t display physical curage will suffer damage t his reputatin in a way that a wman will nt. Thrughut histry, gaining a higher psitin amng peers (同龄人) has been the ticket that needs t get punched fr a man t attract future wife and father children.
Peple tend t have an idea f what heres are like. When rating (打分) the persnalities f mvie heres, participants expected them t be mre hard-wrking, pen t experience, apprachable, and emtinally stable than the average persn. But sme studies suggest that peple wh shw heric behavir usually have the persnalities f madmen: risk-taking, clness under stress, and an eagerness t take ver in scial situatins.
The study f the relatinship between persnality and herism is at an early stage. Psychlgists are still at a lss t predict in advance wh will herically step up when needed. Often, the her is an therwise rdinary persn wh finds himself n an extrardinary ccasin. Meanwhile, sme individuals trained t behave herically might hesitate in a dangerus situatin. Varius factrs like identities, ccasins and specific training will influence the final herism. Hpefully, the right mix f ccasin and persnalities enable curage t carry the day.
32. Hw is the tpic intrduced in the first paragraph?
A. By presenting an idea.B. By giving an example.
C. By making a cmparisn.D. By drawing a cnclusin.
33. What d the underlined wrds “get punched” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Be gained. B. Be returned.C. Be abandned.D.Be bught.
34. Why is it difficult t predict wh will act herically in a crisis?
A. Heres are brn, nt made.
B. Herism is a phenmenn influenced by numerus factrs.
C. Individual persnality is nt a dependable sign f herism.
D. Heric acts nly appear in a specific crisis.
35. Which f the fllwing is the best title fr the text?
A. Hw Are Heres Trained?B. Why Are Heres Imprtant?
C. Wh Are the True Heres?D. What Makes a Persn Heric?
