12、e end of the century, according to a new study. The studys report states that as global warming transforms the environment in the worlds last great wilderness, 70 percent of king penguins could either disappear or be forced to find new breeding grounds.Co-author Celine Le Bohec, from the University
13、of Strasbourg in France, warned: “If therere no actions aimed at halting or controlling global warming, and the pace of the current human-induced changes such as climate change and overfishing stays the same, the species may soon disappear. The findings come amid growing concern over the future of t
14、he Antarctic. Earlier this month a separate study found that a combination of climate change and industrial fishing is threatening the krill (磷 虾) population in Antarctic waters, with a potentially disastrous impact on whales, seals and penguins. But todays report is the starkest warning yet of the
15、potentially devastating impact ofclimate change and human exploitation on the Antarctics delicate ecosystems.Le Bohec said: Unless current greenhouse gas emissions drop, 70 percent of king penguins1.1 million breeding pairswill be forced to relocate their breeding grounds, or face extinction by 2100
16、. King penguins are the second-largest type of penguin and only breed on specific isolated islands in the Southern Ocean where there is no ice cover and easy access to the sea. As the ocean warms, a body of water called the Antarctic Polar Frontan upward movement of nutrient-rich sea that supports a
17、 huge abundance of marine lifeis being pushed further south. This means that king penguins, which feed on fish and krill in this body of water, have to travel further to their feeding grounds, leaving their hungry chicks for longer. And as the distance between their breeding grounds and their food g
18、rows, entire colonies could be wiped out.Le Bohec said: The plight of the king penguin should serve as a warning about the future of the entire marine environment in the Antarctic. Penguins, like other seabirds and marine mammals, occupy higher levels in the food chain and they are what we call bio-
19、indicators of their ecosystems. Penguins are sensitive indicators of changes in marine ecosystems. As such, they are key species for understanding and predicting impacts of global change on Antarctic and sub-Antarctic marine ecosystems. The report found that although some king penguins may be able t
20、o relocate to new breeding grounds closer to their retreating food source, suitable new habitats would be scarce. Only a handful of islands in the Southern Ocean are suitable for sustaining large breeding colonies.51. What will happen by 2100, according to a new studyA) King penguins in the Antarcti
21、c will be on the verge of dying out.B) Sea water will rise to a much higher level around the Antarctic.C) The melting ice cover will destroy the great Antarctic wilderness.D) The pristine waters around the Antarctic will disappear forever.52. What do we learn from the findings of a separate studyA)
22、Shrinking krill population and rising temperatures could force Antarctic whales to migrate.B) Human activities have accelerated climate change in the Antarctic region in recent years.C) Industrial fishing and climate change could be fatal to certain Antarctic species.D) Krill fishing in the Antarcti
23、c has worsened the pollution of the pristine waters.53. What does the passage say about king penguinsA) They will turn out to be the second-largest species of birds to become extinct.B) Many of them will have to migrate to isolated islands in the Southern Ocean.C) They feed primarily on only a few k
24、inds of krill in the Antarctic Polar Front.D) The majority of them may have to find new breeding grounds in the future.54. What happens when sea levels rise in the AntarcticA) Many baby king penguins cant have food in time.B) Many king penguins could no longer live on krill.C) Whales will invade kin

What do we learn about the Southern OceanA) The king penguins there are reluctant to leave for new breeding grounds.B) Its conservation is key to the sustainable propagation of Antarctic species.C) It is most

35、ng to Grass-Fed Meat and DairyA Though he didnt come from a farming family, from a young age Tim Joseph was fascinated by the idea of living off the land. Reading magazines like The Stockman Grass Farmer and Graze, he got hooked on the idea of grass-fed agriculture. The idea that all energy and weal
36、th comes from the sun really intrigued him. He thought the shorter the distance between the sun and the end product, the higher the profit to the farmer.|B Joseph wanted to put this theory to the test. In 2022, he and his wife Laura launched Maple Hill Creamery, an organic, all grass-fed yogurt comp
37、any in northern New York. He uickly learned what the market has demonstrated: Demand for grass-fed products currently exceeds supply. Grass-fed beef is enjoying a 25- 30% annual growth rate. Sales of grass-fed yogurt and 攵玻广（发酵乳饮 品）,on the other hand, have in the last year increased by over 38%. Thi
38、s is in comparison with a drop of just under 1% in the total yogurt and kefir market, according to natural and organic market research company SPINS. Josephs toppriority became getting his hands on enough grass-fed milk to keep customers satisfied, since his own 64-cow herd wasnt going to suffice.|C
39、 His first partnership was with Paul and Phyllis Amburgh, owners of the Dharma Lea farm in New York. The Amburghs, too, were true believers in grass-fed. In addition to supplying milk from their own 85-head herd, they began to help other farmers in the area convert from conventional to certified org
40、anic and grass-fed in order to enter the Maple Hill supply chain. Since 2022, the couple has helped 125 small dairy farms convert to grass-fed, with more than 80% of those farms coming on board during the last two years.D All this conversion has helped Maple Hill grow 40-50% every year since it bega
41、n, with no end in sight. Joseph has learned that a farmer has to have a certain mindset to successfully convert. But convincing open-minded dairy people is actually not that hard, when you look at the economics, Grass-fed milk can fetch up to 2.5 times the price of conventional milk. Another factor
42、is the sueeze that conventional dairy farmers have felt as the price of grain they feed their cows has gone up, tightening their profit margins. By replacing expensive grain feed with regenerative management practices, grass-fed farmers are insulated from jumps inthe price of feed. These practices i
43、nclude grazing animals on grasses grown from the pasturelands natural seed bank, and fertilized by the cows own fertilizer.回 Champions of this type of regenerative grazing also point to its animal welfare, climate and health benefits: Grass-fed animals live longer out of confinement. Grazing herds s
44、timulate microbial （微生物的）activity in the soil, helping to capture water and separate carbon. And grass-fed dairy and meat have been shown to be higher in certain nutrients and healthy fats.B In the grass-fed system, farmers are also not subject to the wildly fluctuating milk prices of the internatio
45、nal commodity market. The unpredictability of global demand and the lag-time it takes to add more cows to a herd to meet demand can result in events like the recent cheese surplus. Going grass-fed is a safe refuge, a way for family-scale farms to stay viable. Usually a farmer will get to the point w
46、here financially, what theyre doing is not working. Thats when they call Maple Hill. If the farm is well managed and has enough land, and the desire to convert is sincere, a relationship can begin. Through regular regional educational meetings, a large annual meeting, individual farm visits and thou
47、sands of phone calls, the Amburghs pass on the principles of pasture management. Maple Hill signs a contract pledging to buy the farmer milk at a guaranteed base price, plus uality premiums and incentives for higher protein, butter-fat and other solids.G While Maple Hilfs conversion program is unusu
48、ally hands-on and comprehensive, ifs just one of a growing number of businesses committed to slowly changing the way America farms. Joseph calls sharing his knowledge network through peer-to- peer learning a core piece of the companys culture. Last summer, Massachusetts grass-fed beef advocate John
49、Smith launched Big Picture Beef, anetwork of small grass-fed beef farms in New England and New York that is projected to bring to market 2,500 head of cattle from 125 producers this year. Early indications are that Smith will have no shortage of farm members. Since he began to informally announce the network at farming conferences and on social media, hes recei
