11、 natural world. Their online species searches follow the patterns of seasonal animal migrations (迁徙).Migratory birds (候鸟) flood back to where they reproduce every spring. That migratory behavior is accompanied by some human behavior. “In English-language Wikipedia (维基百科), the online searches for mig

12、ratory species tend to increase in spring when those birds arrive in the United States,” said the lead author John Mittermeier.And not just birds. Mittermeier and his team surveyed nearly 2.5 billion Wikipedia search records, for 32,000 species, across 245 languages. They also saw variable search ra

13、tes for insects, horsetails and flowering plants. Seasonal trends seemed to be widespread in Wikipedia behavior for many species of plants and animals.This finding suggests new ways to monitor changes in the worlds biological diversity. It also shows new ways to see how much people care about nature

14、, and which species and areas might be the most effective targets for conservation.Mittermeier is encouraged by the search results. He commented, “I think theres a concern among conservationists (生态环境保护者) that people are losing touch with the natural world and that theyre not interacting with native

15、 species anymore. And so in that sense, it was really exciting and quite unexpected for me to see peoples Wikipedia interest closely related to changes in nature.”Richard Grenyer, Associate Professor from the University of Oxford, says search data is useful to conservation biologists, “By using thes

16、e big data approaches, we can direct our attention towards the difficult questions in modern conservation: which species and areas are changing, and where are the people who care the most and can do the most to help.”1、What have researchers found about species searches?AThey strengthen ties among pe

17、ople.BThey affect the animal movements.CThey differ in language backgrounds.DThey reflect animal migration seasons.2、What is the purpose of writing Paragraph 3?ATo summarize the research process.BTo further support the research findings.CTo show the variety of species searches.DTo present researcher

18、s heavy work load.3、How does Mittermeier feel about the search results?ASatisfied with Wikipedias service.BWorried about Wikipedia behavior.CAmazed at peoples care about nature.DSad about peoples not getting close to nature.4、Why does Richard think such search data is useful?AIt helps to aim at cons
