Researcher Ruijia Hu said wildlife habitat in crwded places like suth went Ohi is becming increasingly fragmented （分散） as frests give way t
new cnstructin. Eventually, this culd make truble t an animal with specific habitat needs like Ohi'n pileated （红冠） wdpecker.
Pileated wdpeckers have the nickname carpenter birds fr their never-ending natural wdwrking. They peck ut hles in trees fr their nests
every year, creating lts f valuable hmes fr animals like fx squirrels and wls. "They make new nests every year. They wn't reuse ld nes, " Hu said.
"Other animals depend n them."
Pileated wdpeckers are private birds that are mre ften heard than seen. Studying them can be especially difficult. S Hu turned t citizen science
fr help. T identify where wdpeckers have been seen, she used eight years f sightings cllected by birders and lgged int the website eBird, a free
nline tl and app that anyne can use t recrd their bservatins and lcatins. She verlaid these sightings with remte sensing data and fund
that crridrs alng rivers and creeks with abundant mature trees and deadwd helped the birds adjust t their increasingly fragmented urban
landscape.
"With fragmented frests, many habitats that were nce suitable fr wildlife are brken up, " Hu said. "Wildlife is unable t find habitat big enugh
t meet their survival needs. And even if there are suitable habitats, the distance between them can be t great. Wildlife crridrs link up these habitat
patches. Since wildlife can travel and migrate frm ne patch t anther, the prbability f finding fd and shelter is higher."
"There are s many species in urban areas that we dn't pay attentin t, especially when they're nt cnsidered vulnerable, " Hu said. "With
develpment chipping away at mre frest in this crwded cunty, the tipping pint （临界点） culd cme quickly and unexpectedly. Yu can't fix it
vernight. It's nt just abut planting mre trees. The birds need mature frest, s it culd take 30 t 50 years t replace their habitat. At least we can
prtect these riverside frest crridrs and see that existing trees reach maturity."
【小题1】What can we infer frm the secnd paragraph?
A．The magpie's nest is ccupied by the dve.
B．Birds abandn the ld fr the new easily.
C．Friendship really exists amng animals.
D．One's trash is anther treasure.
【小题2】What is the main idea f the third paragraph?
A．The effect f Hu's study n birds.
B．The prcess f Hu's research.
C．The difficulty Hu had in his study.
D．The applicatin f technlgy.
【小题3】What rle d wildlife crridrs play fr birds?
A．Helping them survive in the fragmented landscape.
B．Making them adjust t deadwd quickly.
C．Prviding them with enugh fd fr survival.
D．Ensuring them a stable and safe habitat.
【小题4】What des Hu imply in the last paragraph?
A．One tree desn't make a frest.
B．Be wise after the event.
C．Prepare fr a rainy day.
D．Take things as they cme.
Playing sprts at schl makes peple “grittier” and harder wrking, bsts the chances f achieving lng-term gals, and having successful
careers, say scientists. The Ohi State University team analyzed Natinal Sprts and Sciety Survey data n almst 4, 000 men and wmen acrss the US
and asked study participants t rate themselves n a scale f 1-5n eight statements. They included “I am diligent. I never give up.” And “I am a hard
wrker”. Nne f the statements was directly related t sprts. 34% f thse wh did sprts as a yungster scred high n the grit scale, cmpared t
23% f peers wh gave up. One in fur f thse wh never played sprts ranked lw, cmpared t just 17% f thse wh did. Lead authr Dr. Emily

Nthnagle said practicing drills n the field can imprve pupils’ lives fr decades, adding “The grit they develp frm playing sprts can help them fr
the rest f their lives”.
The findings, published in the jurnal Leisure Sciences，were supprted by mre sphisticated (复杂的) statistical analyses that accunted fr
respndents’ demgraphic ( 人 口 的 ) characteristics. But it appears nly children wh keep at it-and play cntinually—get the benefit, say the
researchers. Sme may just be brn with the grit t help them succeed at sprts as a yung persn and then cntinue t benefit frm that trait as an
adult. “Quitting culd reflect a lack f perseverance, which is a crucial cmpnent f grit,” said a researcher. “It culd als make quitting an activity,
and nt persevering, easier the next time.”
Adults wh played sprts as kids generally perceived the experience helped imprve their wrk ethic, and that perceptin was linked t their grit
scres as adults even thugh the researchers said peple can gain r lse grit thrughut life.
【小题1】What des the underlined wrd “grittier” mean in the 1st paragraph?
A．Mre hpeful.
B．Mre pessimistic.
D．Mre determined.
C．Mre aggressive.
【小题2】What can we learn frm Paragraph 2?
A．The survey included a ttal f 15 statements.
B．The survey centered n sprts and lifestyle.
C．Peple wh did sprts at a yung age tended t scre high n the grit scale.
D．The survey was cnducted and analyzed by Dr. Emily alne.
【小题3】Hw were the findings presented in the jurnal Leisure Sciences?
A．By prviding experiments.
B．By ffering sme examples.
C．By shwing differences.
D．By analyzing characteristics.
【小题4】Where is the passage mst likely t be taken frm?
A．A bilgical textbk.
B．A science magazine.
D．An ecnmic paper.
C．A travel brchure.

William, a highly skilled plumber (水管工) with three decades f experience, was admired by everyne fr his utstanding plumbing abilities.
Hwever, what many didn’t knw was his deep lve fr music. Ever since he was a yung by, William was passinate abut singing. He dreamed f
attending a music schl and becming a famus pp singer, just like his idl Willie Nelsn. He even dreamed abut perfrming in his wn private
cncerts smeday. Unfrtunately, tragedy struck when a car accident claimed the lives f bth his parents, abruptly ending all his ambitins fr the
future. As the eldest brther in his family, William had t drp ut f schl and find a jb t supprt his tw yunger sisters.
After three decades, William’s passin fr singing remained as strng as ever. As he went abut his plumbing wrk, he always carried a little radi
with him, belting ut tunes and jyfully singing alng. The dull tasks f repairs became enjyable and much mre manageable with music in the
backgrund. Occasinally, when inspiratin struck, he even cmpsed a sng r tw f his wn. In fact, he had setup a small basement studi where he
recrded sme f these sngs, purely fr the fun f it.
One day, William received a call frm a client, Remus Gall, asking him t help repair the pipes in his kitchen. William accepted the missin readily.
Upn arriving at Mr. Gal’s, he was led int the kitchen and began his wrk. As usual, while ding the repair wrk, he happily sang alng t his small
radi. Cincidentally, Remus Gall was a music prducer and wner f a small recrding cmpany. Remus verheard the plumber singing and immediately
realized there was smething in William’s vice. He was amazed that an rdinary plumber shuld have such great talent in singing. After the repair
wrk, Remus gt the chance t talk with William and intrduced his prfessin t him.
“Yu’ve really gt a beautiful vice.” Remus said sincerely. “Have yu ever thught f releasing an album f yur wn? If s, I wuld be mre
than glad t help yu.”
