2022届高三英语二轮复习每日一练01 Climate change, not human hunting, may have destroyed the thylacine (袋狼), according to 6 a new study based on DNA from thylacine bones.
The meat-eating marsupials (有袋动物) died out on mainland Australia a few thousand years ago, but survived in Tasmania, an island of southeast Australia separated from the mainland, until the 1930s. Until now, scientists have 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 the Journal of Biogeography on Thursday, collected 51 new thylacine DNA samples from fossil (化石) bones and museum skins. The paper concluded that climate change starting about 4,000 years ago 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 (基因多样性). There was also evidence of a population crash (大跌) in thylacines in Tasmania at the same period of time, reducing their numbers and genetic diversity.
Professor Jeremy Austin said Tasmania would have been protected from mainland Australia's warmer, drier climate because of its higher rainfall. He argued 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 Tasmania.”
"They both happened at about the same time, and the other two things that have been talked about in the past that may have driven thylacines to extinction on the mainland were dingoes and humans. So the only explanation that's left is climate change. And because that population crash happened at the same time that the species (物种) went extinct on the mainland, our argument is there's a common theme there and the only common theme is that there is this change in climate."
1.What did scientists believe in the past according to the passage?
A. Marsupials were all meat-eating animals.
B. Dingoes should be removed from Australia.
C. Thylacines had no enemies on mainland Australia.
D. Human activities may cause the extinction of thylacines.

A.something similar happened on mainland Australia and Tasmania
B.Tasmania was protected from mainland Australia's warmer climate
C.humans and dingoes may have driven thylacines to extinction
D.mainland Australia suffered from much higher rainfall in the past
4.What's the best title for the passage?
A.The effect of climate change on wildlife
B.The cause of disappearance of thylacines
C.The result of warmer climate in Australia
D.The ways of protecting meat-eating animals
A boy was dying of terminal leukemia (白血病). His mother took his hand and asked, "Bopsy, did you ever think about what you wanted to be when you grew up?"
"Mommy, I always wanted to be a fireman when I grew up."
Later that day she went to the fire department, where she met Fireman Bob. She explained her son's final wish and asked if it might be possible to give her six-year-old son a ride around the block on a fire engine. Fireman Bob said, "Look, we can do better than that. We’ll make him an honorary fireman for the whole day. He can come down to the fire station, eat with us, go out on all the fire calls, the whole nine yards! And, we'll get a real fire uniform made for him."
Three days later Fireman Bob picked up Bopsy, dressed him in his fire uniform and escorted (护送) him from his hospital bed to the waiting hook and ladder truck. Bopsy was in heaven.Having his dream come true, with all the love and attention that was lavished(慷慨给予) upon him, Bopsy lived three months longer than any doctor thought possible.
One night all of his vital signs began to drop and the head nurse called the fire chief and asked if it would be possible to send a fireman in uniform to the hospital to be with Bopsy as he made his transition. The chief replied, "We can do better than that. We'll be there in five minutes. Will you please do me a favor? When you hear the sirens(警报器)screaming and see the lights flashing, will you announce over the PA system that it's just the fire department coming to see one of its finest members one more time? And will you open the window to his room?"
About five minutes later a hook and ladder truck arrived at the hospital, extended its ladder up to Bopsy's third floor open window and 14 firemen and two fire-women climbed up the ladder into Bopsy's room. They hugged him and held him and told him how much they loved him.
With his dying breath, Bopsy looked up at the fire chief and said, "Chief, am I really a fireman now?" With those words, Bopsy smiled and closed his eyes for the last time

C.Bopsy could experience everything as a fireman.
D.All the sirens of the fire engines would scream that day.

A.Because Bopsy begged her to do so.
B.Because Bopsy saw the firemen as his family members.
C.Because she wanted Bopsy to be approved as a real fireman.
