30、e workers had collected 820 birds from the Gulf of Mexico oil spill, the majority of them already dead. The current spill promises to be the largest in US history, and as cleanup efforts stretch across the summer, its clear that more oiled birds will be found, stuck and suffering in the black stick
31、liquid. And as they do with every oil spill, rescue workers will go to great lengths to capture and clean the survivors hoping to restore them to their natural habitat.Is it worth the effort? Some scientists arent so sure. Because the stress of being captured and bathed is as significant as the horr
32、or of being immersed in oil, and because research suggests that many rescued birds die shortly after being released, some experts say euthanasia (安乐死) is a more humane option.来源:学科网ZXXKClean bird feathers repel water (防水) and regulate body temperature while dirty ones dont. Oil in particular makes f
33、eathers heavier and decreases their ability to trap air, which in turn makes birds weak and become easier to drowning, overheating and organ damage. Of course, being captured and cleaned is no picnic either. Some birds wind up returning to their destroyed habitats only to fall victim to the oil agai
34、n. And those who manage to avoid a second oil bath suffer dramatically shortened life spans (跨度) and lower reproductive success. Of the thousands of birds that were rescued from the Prestige oil spill off the coast of Spain in 2002, only 600 were released into the wild; most of the rest died after j
35、ust a few days in captivity.However, bird rescuers say they have learned a lot about how to best help oil-soaked birds, and that therefore, survival rates stand to increase this time around. In the past, birds were cleaned right away, and volunteers often worked through the night bathing rescued bir
36、ds. But now, captured birds are left to rest for a day or two before being cleaned, and only washed during the day, so as not to disrupt their circadian (生理的) rhythms. But part of that increase may be due to greater selectivity on the part of rescuers. The workers do blood tests right in the field n
37、ow and birds that are loaded with hydrocarbons (碳氢化合物) or dont look like theyre going to make it are put down right away, rather than subjected to the stress of captivity and cleaning.And so far, while release rates may be improving, there is little evidence of better medium or long-term survival, e
38、specially for the more-difficult-to-save species. There still arent good protocols (协议) for repairing the internal organ damage. Anyway, rescue efforts will continue in large part because the public demands that. Euthanasia is a difficult thing to do, especially for people who have built their lives
39、 around saving animals.12. Why do some scientists doubt the effort to rescue oiled birds?A. Because it has cost too much time and money.B. Because human may be infected with the bird virus.C. Because it is torture followed by death to birds.D. Because migrant birds may broaden the pollution.13. The

43、出能填人空白处的最佳选项。有两项为多余选项。Todays students are surrounded by information. The ability to figure out exactly why authors writeand not accept every opinion as factis a key skill. _16_ The following strategies teach them how to figure out why authors really write.Start with why. “Why did the author write th
44、is piece?” is the key question asked to identify authors purpose. To help students expand their understanding of “why,” post various types of nonfiction (an advertisement, opinion article, news article, etc.) around your classroom and have students quickly identify a purpose for each. _17_Talk about
45、 structure. Authors use different structures for different purposes. For example, one author may use time order to explain an event, while another author uses compare and contrast to put that event into context._18_Often when authors write, theyre trying to get readers to feel a certain way. Perhaps
46、 the author of an article about whale conservation wants readers to feel sad about the difficult situation of whales. Or the author of a letter may want to make the recipient feel better about a situation. After students read a text, stop and ask: How do you feel? And how did the author get you to f
47、eel this way?Connect it to students own writing. Writing and reading go hand in hand. _19_ When students are asked to write about a topic that they think everyone should know about, to explain a procedure or to share a personal memory, theyll become more conscious of how authors approach writing.Obs
48、erve how purpose changes within a text. Authors purpose is often studied through the text as a whole, but authors have different reasons for writing within texts as well. _20_ Then, they may launch into a list of facts that make the reader feel discouraged about the situation. And finally, they may
49、conclude with an appeal. Take a short article and break it apart, identifying the different purposes so that students see how authors purpose changes as they read.A. Get to the heart.B. Identify the topic.C. The readers may get more advanced in their work with informational text.D. For example, they
50、 may include a funny anecdote (轶事) to draw the readers in.E. In particular, theyll need to figure out authors purpose and draw their own conclusions.F. Expand students awareness of why people write by having them write for different purposes.G. Or keep a running Authors Purpose board with a list of
