28、our words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Around 13,000 years ago North America had a wider variety of mammals (哺乳动物) than modem Africa. There were multiple horse species, camels and some now-extinct animals. And such _41_ creatu

29、res were not just found in North America. On every continent mammals on average were a lot larger from around 2.5 million until about 11,700 years ago.Scientists have long debated what caused all these large creatures to go extinct while many of the smaller ones _42_. A team of researchers led by bi

30、ologist Felisa Smith analyzed evidence from millions of years worth of mammalian extinctions and found that on each continent large mammals started to _43_ around the same time humans first showed up.If the extinction trend continues, many more large mammals will soon disappear as well, as the prima

31、ry threats from humans have _44_ from overhunting to indirect processes such as habitat loss. In their new study Smith and her team analyzed a database of all land mammals that lived from 65 million years ago until today. “We found _45_ no effect of climate on mammalian extinction over 65 million ye

32、ars,” she says. But starting around 125,000 years ago and continuing until today, large mammals have been more likely to go extinct than smaller ones, the researchers found. The average _46_ of surviving mammals has decreased as a result. And those large-mammal extinctions are tightly coupled with t

33、he _47_ of humans. For most of mammalian _48_ history, an animals size was not predictive of its extinction risk. That _49_ only appeared once humans began to live alongside large mammals.This finding does not mean climate-related changes could not have _50_ some wildlife populations, enabling human

The animals that evolved without the risk of hunting from humans were suddenly faced with a new _52_ They simply could not _53_ fast enough to sur

Each passage is foll

39、owed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)As the COVID-19 pandemic hit hard, fishermen watched their markets dry up. Restauran

40、ts normally major fish buyers closed or cut back orders significantly. Fishermen werent sure if they were going to get paid for what they fished.Meanwhile as people lost jobs, food banks started to see a great demand for services. Things were getting desperate, with long lines for food assistance in

41、 many states.Out of these dual crises, a new idea was born. Food assistance programs across the country have started connecting with local fishermen to stock upon local seafood, many for the first time. And the arrangement seems to be helping the fishermen, the economy and those in need of healthy f

42、ood.According to Catherine DAmato, CEO of the Greater Boston Food Bank, the network usually keeps four or five weeks of food on hand in case of emergencies. The pandemic hit, and “we found ourselves below one week of stock and going down rapidly,” she says. Thats because the food bank normally distr

43、ibutes about 1 million pounds of food a week, and that became 2.5 million pounds of food a week, DAmato says. While Congress and the states have increased funding and donations for food banks during the pandemic, it hasnt been enough.“For many years, we have been wanting to be able to work with orga

44、nizations in the fishing industry,” DAmato says. But its complicated. Fishermen catch a lot of big fish, and food banks who might take it need the products to be cut small and easy to use for customers. It also has to be fish they know and recognize. The barriers have been too high in many places to

45、 make it work. But this spring, the state department of agriculture connected the food bank with some grant makers. They talked to some local fishermen about developing a traditional New England fish soup.The grants paid fishermen for their catch and provided money for a local manufacturer to proces

46、s, freeze and deliver the soup to food banks in family-size servings. The soup is helping to feed families and keep fishermen fishing. The fishermen hope to sell it in stores soon, and DAmato hopes to purchase more soup and expand into new seafood products for her customers.56.The passage is mainly

47、about _.A. the food shortage during the COVID-19 pandemicB. the cooperation between fishermen and food banksC. the dramatic impact the pandemic had on fishermenD. the new seafood product manufactured for food banks57.What do “dual crises” in paragraph 3 refer to?A. Fishermens difficulty in storing seafood and the decline of the economy.B. Fishermens difficulty in selling fish and food banks need for more food.C. The closure of restaurants and food banks great demand for food assistance.D. Many peoples unemployment and many states bad services in food industry.58.According
