A
An international team of researchers from the University of Oxford have found that the way people use the Internet is closely tied to the seasonal movements in the natural world. Their online species searches follow the patterns of seasonal animal migrations (迁徙).
Migratory birds (候鸟) flood back to where they reproduce every spring. That migratory behavior is accompanied by some human behavior. “In English-language Wikipedia (维基百科), the online searches for migratory species tend to increase in spring when those birds arrive in the United States,” said the lead author John Mittermeier.
And not just birds. Mittermeier and his team surveyed nearly 2.5 billion Wikipedia search records, for 32,000 species, across 245 languages. They also saw variable search rates for insects, horsetails and flowering plants. Seasonal trends seemed to be widespread in Wikipedia behavior for many species of plants and animals.
This finding suggests new ways to monitor changes in the world’s biological diversity. It also shows new ways to see how much people care about nature, and which species and areas might be the most effective targets for conservation.
Mittermeier is encouraged by the search results. He commented, “I think there’s a concern among conservationists (生态环境保护者) that people are losing touch with the natural world and that they’re not interacting with native species anymore. And so in that sense, it was really exciting and quite unexpected for me to see people’s Wikipedia interest closely related to changes in nature.”
Richard Grenyer, Associate Professor from the University of Oxford, says search data is useful to conservation biologists, “By using these big data approaches, we can direct our attention towards the difficult questions in modern conservation: which species and areas are changing, and where are the people who care the most and can do the most to help.”
1、What have researchers found about species searches?
A．They strengthen ties among people.
B．They affect the animal movements.
C．They differ in language backgrounds.
D．They reflect animal migration seasons.
2、What is the purpose of writing Paragraph 3?
A．To summarize the research process.
B．To further support the research findings.
C．To show the variety of species searches.
D．To present researchers’ heavy work load.
3、How does Mittermeier feel about the search results?
A．Satisfied with Wikipedia’s service.
B．Worried about Wikipedia behavior.
C．Amazed at people’s care about nature.
D．Sad about people’s not getting close to nature.
4、Why does Richard think such search data is useful?
A．It helps to aim at conservation targets.
B．It increases interest in big data approaches.
C．It keeps track of trends in biologists’work.
D．It pushes people to solve difficult problems.

B
Imagine waking up one day and finding that your beautiful local beach is no more—gone, its fine white sand swept away by an abnormal storm. You go about your daily business for 12 long years and then suddenly the beach is back, all its glory restored by another storm. This is what happened on the island of Achill, off the coast of Ireland, where people are celebrating the return of the beautiful Ashleam Bay beach that was taken from them in 2005.
That in itself is unusual enough, but the story gets even better! You see, another beach in Achill did a disappearing act once, but took much longer to return. The beach at Doonagh, located only six miles away from Ashleam Bay, was restored earlier in 2016 after waves created by spring storms had swept away all the sand in 1984, leaving just rock pools behind.
There is local legend that stretches back hundreds of years that says this beach at Ashlcam Bay returns for a short every seven years then disappears again. But this time around it took a bit longer than that. It was last seen in 2005 and it stayed for a few months at that time before it was washed away again.
As you can imagine, everyone on the island of Achill is thrilled to have their sandy beach back, and even though no one knows how long it’s going to be around for, they are making the most of the time they’ve got before it disappears again.
Some may be quick to believe climate changes cause the phenomenon, but that’s not the reason these two beaches in Achill keep disappearing, Dr Kevin Lynch, a geographer at NUT Galway, says that these occurrences are the result of hydrodynamics (流体力学) and sediment(沉积物) supply, rather than climate changes.
Regardless of what’s causing them, disappearing and reappearing beaches are just part of what makes nature so fascinating.
1、What is people’s reaction to the return of the Ashleam Bay beach?
A．Full of fear.
B．Quite delighted.
C．Very disappointed.
D．Extremely con fused.
2、What can we learn about the beach at Doonagh?
A．It is not located in Ireland.
B．It disappeared 12 years ago.
C．It once disappeared for more than 30 years.
D．It is just made up of rocks and pools.
3、According to the local legend, when should the Ashleam Bay beach have come back?
A．In 1982.
B．In 2012.
C．In 2016.
D．In 2018.
4、What does Dr Kevin Lynch think of the phenomenon?
A．Some abnormal storms lead to ocean’s enlargement,
B．It is hard to uncover the mystery of beach’s disappearing.
C．Climate changes can result in beaches disappearing completely.
D．Hydrodynamics and sediment supply cause two beaches to disappear.
