21、Refugees are on the move in forests across the western U. S. As climate conditions change, the ranges of tree species are shifting, especially toward cooler or wetter sites. A new Stanford analysis, published on November 15th in Nature Communications, provides some of the first confirmable evidence that wildfire is accelerating this process, likely by reducing competition from established species.

“Complex, interdependent (互相依赖的)forces are shaping the future of our forests,” said study lead author Avery Hill, a graduate student in biology at Stanford, s School of Humanities & Sciences.

As the climate changes, animal and plant species are shifting their ranges toward conditions suitable for their growth and reproduction. Past research has shown that plant ranges are shifting to higher, cooler altitudes at an average rate of almost five feet per year. In many studies, these range shifts fall behind the rate of climate change, suggesting that some species may become stranded (困住)in unsuitable habitats. The factors that impact plant species’ ability to keep up with climate change are key to maintaining healthy populations of the dominant trees in western forests, yet have remained largely mysterious.

To better understand the distance, direction and rate at which tree ranges are shifting, Hill and study co-author Chris Field, the Perry L. McCarty Director of the Stanford Woods Institute for the Environment, looked at how the phenomenon is affected by wildfire, a powerful and widespread driver of ecosystem structure and composition in the western United States.

Using U. S. Forest Service data collected from over 74, 000 plots across nine Western states, the researchers identified tree species that are shifting their ranges toward cooler, wetter sites. Then, they compared the rate of these range shifts between places that were burned by wildfire and places that were not.

The findings demonstrate not only that fire can accelerate tree migration, but that some species may be slowing the range shifts of others through competition. This, in turn, raises questions about the impact of fire management on trees’ ability to keep up with climate change, and points to the importance of low-intensity natural fires.

【1】What does the underlined word “Refugees” refer to in the first paragraph?

A．Wildfire.

B．Climate.

C．Animals.

D．Trees.

【2】What is unknown in the past researches?

A．Why plant ranges shift more slowly than climate change.

B．How plant species’ ability influences the weather change.

C．What causes plant species to be stuck in unfit habitats.

D．How fast plant ranges shift on a regular basis.

【3】Which possibly influences the rate of trees migration according to the analysis?

A．Fire management and climate.

B．Low intensity and natural fires.

C．Wildfire and other tree species.

D．Ecosystem structure and ranges.

【4】What can be inferred about this new Stanford analysis?

A．Different plant species are interdependent.

B．A natural fire may help forests remain healthy.

C．Range shifts won’t be affected by fire management.

D．Competition between species accelerates climate change.

23、24 Solar Terms: 4 things you should know about Grain Buds

The traditional Chinese lunar calendar divides the year into 24 solar terms. Grain Buds (小满), the 8th solar term of a year, begins on May 20 this year, and ends on June 4. In China, the 24 solar terms were created thousands of years ago to guide agricultural production. 【1】. Let's see what we can do during the "Grain Buds" period.

A good season for eating fish

During the Grain Buds period, the summer harvest is about to begin. A saying about rain during this time mentions, "A heavy rainfall makes the river full." Because of the great increase in rainfall, rivers are full of water, which gives rise to great tasting fish and shrimp. This is a good time to enjoy them. 【2】.

Eating herb of common sow thistle

Grain Buds is a season for eating the herb (草药) of the common sow thistle, which tastes a little bitter and sour, but also sweet. It has the function of cooling the blood and detoxifying the body. It can be made into different types of dishes. 【3】. Some people boil the herb with water and then squeeze out the juice, which can be used to make soup.

Tips on health preserving in Grain Buds

【4】. The increase in temperature over this season may also give rise to all sorts of skin diseases. It is also important to exercise to keep healthy during the hot summer days. Walking, jogging and practicing tai chi are popular.

【5】

This time is a good period of the quick growth of flowers. It is also a season when plant diseases and pests are at an all-time high, which makes caring for your garden even more critical. Flower trimming and clipping is important. And a systematic fertilized water system should be carried out.

A．Key period for flower management

B．It is also harvest season for fishermen

C．A lot of water and extra care for wild flowers

D．But the solar term culture is still useful today to guide people's lives

E．It means that the seeds from the grain are becoming full but are not ripe

F．People in Ningxia like to eat it blended with salt, vinegar, peppers or garlic

G．High temperatures and humidity are common during the Grain Buds period

24、In 1999, John Smyth, a high-school teacher decided it was time to retire. Together with his wife Helen, he set off on a journey around Australia. But when they returned, John found he missed the classroom, so he spent another eight years doing casual teaching.

Then he heard about a program known as Volunteers for Isolated Students’ Education (VISE), which pairs up energetic people with educational experience, usually retired teachers, with children whose schooling is largely done remotely, because they live too far away from towns and cities to attend regular schools. John grew up in the country and as a kid in the bush, he always dreamed of running with circus, but he didn’t even have much chance to see the circus in person. Therefore he was immediately interested in the program and got a travelling post as a teacher with Stardust Circus.

The lesson timetable was built around the kids performance schedules. “The eight-year-old I tutored was an awesome gymnast who was part of the teeterboard (跷跷板)act, ”he explains. “A big guy would jump on the other side, he would swing up in the air, do a couple of twirls(旋转) and land on his uncle’s shoulders. . . and his uncle was standing on the boy’s father’s shoulders!” The circus still includes some animal acts, including lions, monkeys, horses, goats and pigs. John and his wife Helen found it extraordinary enough to sink into sleep to the sound of lions roaring, but one day the lion-trainer, Matt, gave him a very special privilege, inviting him in to meet four 13-month-old lions in person. While it was understandably a little scary at first, for John it was a never-to-be-forgotten experience, which helped him realize his boyhood dream in his 75th year.

【1】Why did John Smyth stay in the Stardust Circus?

A．To run the circus.

B．To live far from towns.

C．To educate the children.

D．To conduct a program.

【2】What can we learn from the passage?

A．Teachers of the VISE program live too far away.

B．Children in the circus are taught at fixed time.

C．John instructed the gymnast’s performance of swinging in the air.

D．The couple enjoyed sleeping with the sound of lions roaring.

【3】Which word best describes John’s experience of meeting the little lions?

A．Scary.

B．Upsetting.

C．Boring.

D．Memorable.

【4】What is the best title for the text?

A．Working for a Living

B．Returning to School

C．Running with the Circus

D．Travelling with Animals
