28、itors to AmericaCWolves travel shorter distances and move slower during snowfall events, according to new research by University of Alberta biologists. The effects were most pronounced at night, when wolves hunt, and behaviour returned to normal within a day. Wolf tracks across snow in northeastern

29、Alberta.“Our findings suggest that there is something about actively falling snow that causes wolves to slow down,” said Amanda Droghini, a former MSc student in the Department of Biological Science and lead author on the study. “We dont know the exact mechanism behind that. Its unlikely that they w

30、ere staying still because they were feasting on a recent kill. Instead, active precipitation（降雪量）might affect wolves hunting abilities. Like rain, snow clears the air column of scent molecules. So, maybe falling snow makes it harder for wolves to detect the smell of prey.”Over the course of two wint

31、ers, the researchers used remote cameras to disclose snowfall events and estimate snow depth. To study wolf movement, they collected telemetry（测距仪） data from 17 wolves to calculate travel speed and duration, as well as resting periods. It is the first study to examine how large flesh-eating animals

32、respond to snowfall events.With the effects of climate change on precipitation in the north forest region uncertain, it is difficult to predict the implications for wolf populations. Studies such as these increase our understanding of how large mammals react to normal snowfall events, but the type a

33、nd amount of winter precipitation will likely have an impact on animal behavior and the energetic cost of movement.“Winter is already challenging for many wildlife species because moving through snow requires more energy. Snow can also make it harder for animals to access food resources,” said Drogh

34、ini, who conducted the research under the - 8 -supervision of Professor Stan Boutin, Alberta Biodiversity Conservation Chair.“Anything that increases those costs, such as increased rain-on-snow events, could lead to lacking in nutrition, poor body condition, and even starvation as animals are unable

35、 to make up for those additional costs. That is one of the worst-case scenarios（设想）but, in truth, we know very little about potential changes to precipitation patterns and how wildlife will respond to those changes.”28.Which one is the closest to the underlined word “disclose” in paragraph 3?A. iden

36、tify B. overlookC. overcome D. disturb29.Increased precipitation might have the following effects on animals except _.A. poor health B. nutritional shortageC. hunting ability D. losing appetite(食欲)30.It can be inferred from the passage that _.A. researchers find it difficult to predict the implicati

38、azines. D. advertising posters.DWhile famous foreign architects are invited to lead the designs of landmark buildings in China such as the new CCTV tower and the National Center for the Performing Arts, many excellent Chinese architects are making great efforts to take the center stage.Their efforts

39、 have been proven fruitful. Wang Shu, a 49-year-old Chinese architect, won the 2012 Pritzker Architecture Prize which is often referred to as the Nobel Prize in architecture on February 28. He is the first Chinese - 9 -citizen to win this award.Wang serves as head of the Architecture Department at t

40、he China Academy of Art (CAA). His office is located at the Xiangshan campus(校园) of the university in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province. Many buildings on the campus are his original creations.The style of the campus is quite different from that of most Chinese universities. Many visitors were amazed by t

41、he complex architectural space and abundant building types. The curves(曲线) of the buildings perfectly match the rise and fall of hills, forming a unique view.Wang collected more than 7 million abandoned bricks of different ages. He asked the workers to use traditional techniques to make the bricks i

42、nto walls, roofs and corridors. This creation attracted a lot of attention thanks to its mixture of modern and traditional Chinese elements(元素).Wangs works show a deep understanding of modern architecture and a good knowledge of traditions. Through such a balance, he had created a new type of Chines

43、e architecture, said Tadao Ando, the winner of the 1995 Pritzker Prize.Wang believes traditions should not be sealed in glass boxes at museums. “That is only evidence that traditions once existed,“ he said.“Many Chinese people have a misunderstanding of traditions. They think tradition means old thi

44、ngs from the past. In fact, tradition also refers to the things that have been developing and that are still being created, “ he said.“Today, many Chinese people are learning Western styles and theories rather than focusing on Chinese traditions. Many people tend to talk about traditions without kno

45、wing what they really are, “ said Wang.The study of traditions should be combined with practice. Otherwise, the recreation of traditions would be artificial and empty, he said.32.Wangs winning of the prize means that Chinese architects are _.A. following the latest world trendB. getting internationa
