For protecting endangered neighbors, pandas make unreliable umbrellas.

Like many undergraduate biology students, Wang Fang was taught that pandas are a prime example of     1     umbrella species—a well-known and usually endangered animal     2     protection benefits an entire ecosystem.

In fact, the story is much     3     (complex), according to findings that Dr. Wang, now an ecologist at Fudan University in Shanghai, published last month in Biological Conservation. Refuting (反驳) years of     4     (assume) about the universal benefits of panda conservation, Dr. Wang and his colleagues report that a number of other     5     (threaten) species are not being protected by the panda umbrella.

Panda conservation, on its own,     6     (be) a success up to now. In the 1980s, pandas had very little protection in the wild and were thought to add up to around just 1,100 individuals. In the 1990s, China began to     7     (active) conserve wild populations. Eventually sixty-seven panda-specific protected areas     8     (represent) 70 percent of the species’ range were established.

All of those efforts focused simply not on other species,     9     on China’s national animal. Dr. Wang began to question the umbrella species narrative and carried out research, only     10     (find) that panda conservation had not helped large carnivores in China.

8 . The evolution of butterflies continues very fast. Species with larger wingspans(翼幅) have expanded their range in high-latitude parts of North America as the climate has warmed, while smaller butterflies and those adapted to cold conditions have tended to decline.

Vaughn Shirey at Georgetown University in Washington DC and his colleagues built a computational model to analyse the presence of 90 butterfly species above 45 north in North America from 1970 to 2019.

The team analysed how shifting monthly minimum temperatures over the past 50 years may have affected the ranges of butterflies.

The monthly minimum temperatures increased by 0. 86℃(1. 5°F), on average, across the study region from the 1970s to the 2010s. As temperatures rose, butterfly species with larger wingspans were more likely to spread out into a greater proportion of the study region. But for smaller butterflies, rising temperatures were linked with a a smaller number in the area over which they were found.

“It seems logical to assume that, if species with larger wingspans have the capacity to better travel to new suitable habitats, it gives those species an advantage in a changing climate,” says Yoan Fourcade at the Institute of Ecology and Environmental Sciences in Paris.

Butterflies adapted to warmer temperatures also seemed to have dispersed(分散) more across the study region than those adapted to colder climates.

Climate change has been linked with a fall in some butterfly species, including the monarch （Danaus plexippus）in North America. But some appear to be adapting: a 2022 study found that British butterflies are steadily getting bigger in response to rising temperatures.

1. What is the focus of the article?

A．The impact of climate change on butterflies.	B．The migration patterns of butterflies.
C．The size of butterfly wingspans.	D．The smaller number of butterflies.

2. What is the relationship between rising temperatures and smaller butterflies?

A．Temperatures have little effect on smaller butterflies.

B．Smaller butterflies have increased in number.

C．Smaller butterflies have reduced in number.

D．Smaller butterflies have migrated to colder climates.

3. What advantage do species with larger wingspans have in a rising climate?

A．They are better able to travel to new suitable habitats.

B．They are better adapted to colder climates.

C．They are more resistant to climate change.

D．They are more likely to disperse across.

4. What does the author emphasize about butterflies in the last paragraph?

A．They are migrating to warmer climates.	B．They are becoming smaller in size.
C．They are reducing in number.	D．They are getting bigger.

10 . Map reading, growing fruit and vegetable and basic car service are also more common skills among the baby boomer generation. But according to a new survey, just one in three 18- to 25-year-olds are able to do basic DIY, compared to two-thirds of those aged 58 and over.

Sarah Clarke-Kuehn, Chief Operating Officer-Commercial, said, “The survey findings are so interesting as they highlight a very common incorrect conception related to ‘getting old’.”

When asked at what age they thought developing new skills becomes “difficult”, Gen Z respondents said they were 35 years old, while those aged over 58 believed this number was 63 years old. The belief is that there is a boundary between learning new skills and getting a sense of achievement. But we know that this is just not the case. The benefits in continuing to enjoy life, as well as developing new talents are very significant—both physically and mentally as we grow older.

Neuroscientist and author, Dr Julia Jones, said, “We underestimate our brain’s ability to continue learning. Our brain is the most complex and precise structure in the known universe but we only use a small part of its true potential throughout our lifetimes. To boost continued brain health, we should learn complex and novel skills at all ages. This becomes more important as we age, because these learning experiences help to build new connections between neurons (神经细胞) that maintain intelligence and reduce the risk of future brain decline.”

“Learning languages and musical instruments are believed to be effective at boosting neuroplasticity (神经可塑性) due to their complex nature, but all learning is beneficial and can bring a sense of achievement, purpose and social engagement.”

Dr Jones added. “Find a new hobby and throw yourself into a wonderful learning experience or pick up an old pastime and improve those skills. I’m currently learning to play the guitar and it’s opened up a whole new world of music and fun.”

1. What is mentioned about the young generation in the text?

2. What does the author imply in paragraph 3?

A．Learning brings a sense of belonging.

B．It is never too late to learn in one’s life.

C．It is necessary to show off one’s talents.

D．The benefits of lifelong learning are temporary.

3. What is paragraph 4 mainly about?

A．The significance of knowing the structure of the brain.

B．The difficulties in improving the ability of the brain.

C．The reasons for taking full advantage of the brain.

D．The process of protecting the brain from risk.

4. What is Dr Jones’ attitude to learning musical instruments?
