Period ⅠStarting out & Understanding ideas课前自学导引黑脉斑蝶的旅程许多动物在一年中的某些特定时期从一个地方迁移到另一个地方。
这种每年一次的活动叫作迁徙。
他们迁徙的目的是寻找食物，寻找伴侣，或者寻找更温暖的天气。
北美的黑脉斑蝶的迁徙是大自然中最令人惊奇的迁徙之一。
每年秋天，数以百万计的这些美丽的昆虫，有着精致的黑色和橙色翅膀，开始了漫长而艰难的旅程。
不知怎么地，它们成功地向南行进了4,000公里，到达了加利福尼亚或墨西哥。
然而，直到最近才有人知道它们是如何做到这一点的。
由华盛顿大学的Eli Schlizerman教授领导的一组科学家现在已经找到了答案。
他们发现黑脉斑蝶能分辨出白天的时间。
它用眼睛测量太阳的位置。
这两条信息——白天的时间和太阳在天空中的位置——使得蝴蝶决定它走的路。
最终，它成功到达了它过冬的地方。
解决黑脉斑蝶神奇能力之谜的办法出现在它陷入严重困境的时候。
在过去的几年里，其数量锐减了90%。
不幸的是，人类活动是黑脉斑蝶数量下降的主要原因。
在许多可以找到黑脉斑蝶的地方，人们正在破坏着自然环境。
他们砍伐树木，使用化学物质杀死黑脉斑蝶幼虫吃的植物。
然而，对黑脉斑蝶行为的研究带来了对这种生物更多的认识。
人们一直在共同努力记录它的迁徙情况，确保它有足够的植物食用。
如果这项工作奏效，黑脉斑蝶数量可能会再次增加。
我们对这种美丽的生物了解得越多，它生存的可能性就越大，并且可以在未来很长一段时间内保持其在自然界中的地位。

Unit 5 Into the wild对于动物的灭绝，很多人猜测是气候的原因，其实，有时候人类才是动物生存最大的威胁。
我们要保护动植物，与它们和谐相处。
Climate change, not human hunting, may have wiped out the thylacine (袋狼), according to a new study based on DNA from thylacines' bones.The meateating marsupials (有袋动物) died out on mainland Australia a few t housand years ago, but survived in Tasmania, an island of southeast Australia se parated from the mainland, until the 1930s. Until then, scientists had believed the cause of this mainland extinction (灭绝) was increased activity from native Australians and dingoes (Australian wild dogs)．Scientists behind the University of Adelaide study, which was published in t he Journal of Biogeography on Thursday, collected 51 new thylacine DNA samples f rom fossil bones and museum skins — the largest data set of thylacine DNA to da te. The paper concluded that climate change starting about 4,000 years ago — in particular drier seasons caused by the weather systemsknown as El Niño — Southern Oscillation (南方涛动) — was likely the main cause of the mainland extinction.The ancient DNA showed that the mainland extinction of thylacines was rapid, and not the result of loss of genetic diversity. There was also evidence of a p opulation crash in thylacines in Tasmania at the same period of time, reducing t heir numbers and genetic diversity.Associate Professor Jeremy Austin said Tasmania would have been protected fr om mainland Australia's warmer, drier climate due to its higher rainfall. He arg ued that climate change was “the only thing that could have caused, or at least started, an extinction on the mainland and caused a population crash in Tasmani a.”“They both happened at about the same time, and the other two things that h ad been talked about in the past that may have driven thylacines to extinction on the mainland were dingoes and humans. So the only explanation left is climate change. And because the population crash happened at the same time and the speci es went extinct on the mainland, our argument is that there's a common theme the re and the only common theme is that there is this change in climate.”。

There are many kinds of fruit bats and they are different in size from one place to the next. For example, some fruit bats are no more than two inches long. Others, though, are more than 16 inches in length.Flying foxes have pointed teeth. Most people have been taught that this is a design for a carnivore. However, they are 100 percent vegetarians. Their diet consists of flowers and fruit. When feeding on fruit, they drink the juice.Flying foxes have trouble getting into the air if they fall on the ground, so they feed on fruit on the trees and will not follow a meal if it drops to the ground. They get their water by flying over rivers and lakes and thus avoid having to land.Flying foxes are found in Australia. Living in large groups, they sometimes gather (聚集) by tens of thousands in rainforests and near rivers. Like most bats, they rest by hanging upside down, and sleep during the day and feed at night. They may have to travel for long distances during certain times of the year in order to find food. They will make the journey back to their home, though, before the sun comes up. Unlike most bats, this flying animal uses its sight rather than echolocation (回声定位) to search for food.The flying fox plays an important role in pollination (传粉) in Australia, and its droppings help with the spread of seeds. However, many farmers in Australia are forced to cover their fruit to keep the bats from destroying them.A．They are foxlike.B．They are big eaters.C．They are big in size. D．They are carnivores.解析：选A 细节理解题。
