12、 used to help passengers eyes adjust quicker during an emergency escape. “Going from a brightly lit environment to one thats completely dark would require some time for our eyes to focus and see the escape slide,” Alice Theriault, service director for Air Canada wrote in a press statement. “Since we

13、 need to have all the seconds on our side in the event of an emergency, dimming the lights is one of many steps we take to ensure the safety of our customers.”The phenomenon that your eyes see those strange speckles (小斑点) as your sight adjusts to a dark place after being in a light place is called d

14、ark adaptation. It normally takes our eyes about 20 to 30 minutes to see best in a dark room. The brighter the lights, the longer it takes for our eyes to adjust, which is why dimming the plane lights could shorten your “dark adaptation” time since you havent been sitting under fluorescent bulbs (荧光

15、灯) all flight.Not only does dimming lights add valuable time to the escape process, it reduces the tension on your eyes if you need to look outside, or see the emergency lighting along the passage. “It helps keep you in the right direction.” Patrick Smith, an airline pilot and author of Cockpit Conf

30、ng Kong International Airport. With about 2,000 flights taking off and landing at the airport, the bridge cannot be built too high for safety reasons/5 said Meng Fanchao, chief designer of the project. “But you cannot have a submerged sea tunnel without any support.

Two-meter-thick walls will help block noise from vehicles below.The 1-90 Bridge is part of a growing number of wildlif

40、e crossings across the United States. Some are fences, some are overland bridges, and some are underpasses. They all aim to keep drivers and animals away from each other. Collisions between animals and drivers are rarely deadly to people. But they are often deadly to wildlife. In Canadas Banff Natio

41、nal Park, studies have found that wildlife crossings reduce the areas animal-driver collisions by 80 percent.Most of the wildlife bridges are in western states. But experts have noted many other areas that have a need for such paths. Jen Watkins, whose organization has helped campaign for animal cro

42、ssings, says ftind for more crossings is the number-one barrier.Patty Garvey-Darda of the U.S. Forest Service has worked on the 1-90 crossing from the start of the project.

Deliberately introduced from South and Central America in the 1930s, they were supposed to control beetles damaging

47、the sugarcane crop thats how they got the name “cane toads.”Cane toads can pose a particular danger because the adult ones shoot toxin ( 毒 素 ) from their back when attacked. The tiny toads dont carry enough toxin to be deadly yet, but big adult ones can easily send a dog into a seizure ( 疾病发作) or ev

48、en kill it. The toxin is “very viscous and would stick inside the dogs mouth,” says Steve Johnson, a wildlife ecologist at the University of Florida. Owners should try to wipe out an affected dogs mouth and immediately take it to the vet.Tilford started Toad Busters in 2017. The woman who lived ther

49、e had nine cats, which she fed by dumping almost a bag of cat food every night. Cane toads normally eat bugs, but they are happy to eat pet food, too.Cane toads have adapted beautifully to the Florida suburbs, so a lot of Tilfords work also involves getting people to rethink their suburban backyard.

50、 No more cat food, for example. Pet poop (粪便) can also attract insects, which can in turn attract toads. As do lights. And toads love to breed (繁殖) in attractive pools of water, such as the lake in the affected Palm Beach Garden neighborhood. For “these larger communities that want to build these be

51、autiful ponds and want to have houses on ponds,” Tilford said, “this is almost a pest-control service.” The cane toads arent going away, but they can be managed like mosquitoes or rats.Dealing with toads amounts to an annoying thing in Florida, but they can also create more dramatic problems. In Aus

52、traliawhere they were also deliberately introduced in the 1930s to protect sugarcanethey are a genuine scourge (灾祸).The issue is that Australia has no native toad species, so none of the predators (食肉动物) knew how to avoid the toxic toads. As the cane toads advanced east to west across the continent,

53、 “they left a wake of dead animals in their paths,” says Sean Doody, an ecologist at the University of South Florida at St. Petersburg who has studied cane toads in Australia. Turtles, lizards, and crocodiles just started dying out, which was good news for their prey (受害者). “If you were a small spec

54、ies that was previously being eaten, suddenly youre on a honeymoon,” says Rick Shine, a biologist at Macquarie University in Sydney, Australia, who has also studied the impact of cane toads on Australian wildlife.1、What can cane toads be described as?AInvasive species introduced to South America.BNa

55、tural enemies of beetles damaging sugarcane.CDangerous species making active attacks on dogs.DA great threat presented to some wildlife ecologists.2、Which might be the proper way of avoiding cane toads according to Tilford?AAbandon the suburban backyard.BLight up the backyard at night.CControl the n

56、umber of large houses.DKeep pet food away from backyard.3、What happened in Australia after cane toads being introduced?ACane toads destroyed some food chains.BMost of the predators died of toad toxin.CCane toads bred at a much slower pace.DBig species learned to avoid cane toads.第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节）第一节（
