The following are some.The Arcadian Redfish are found in warm waters, such as the Atlantic and Indian Ocean. These fish mature at a late age (5 to 6 years) and have low reproductive rates. However,

17、 they can live to be 50 years old, which is relatively remarkable. Young redfish are marked with patches of black and green color. They dont develop their red color until after they move to the ocean bottom. Now the Arcadian Redfish is endangered due to overfishing. These fish started to decrease in

18、 population in the early 1900s because of their increased popularity in the food industry.The Bluefin tuna is one animal that is high on the endangered species list. This fish has been named one of the wonders of the ocean, because they can grow to be 12 feet long and weigh over 1, 500 pounds! Why a

24、d math achievement of students, according to a New York University study, even though the outdoor pollution didnt prove to be a problem. The findings suggest improving air quality may also help disadvantaged students who often live in more polluted areas and attend class in older buildings.Michael G

25、ilraine, study author at New York University, analyzed both the air quality and the math and reading test scores at the 18 schools. In schools that received the new air filters, students improved by 0.18 of a standard deviation(标准偏差) in reading and 0.2 of a standard deviation in math, compared to st

26、udents performance in the schools that did not receive air filters. To put that in perspective, those gains are about equal to the learning benefits from reducing class sizes or providing intensive tutoring. Students sustained those math and reading gains the next year, particularly if they attended

27、 the same school or another that had installed new filters in the following year. “In fact, given the large test-score increases they generate, installing air filters actually outperforms other education reforms such as class-size reduction on a cost-benefit basis,” Gilraine said.Prior studies have

28、found that better air quality can lead to fewer teacher and student absences, particularly for those with chronic asthma (慢性哮喘) or other respiratory illnesses. While schools with the new air filters installed did have lower student absenteeism, attendance alone didnt seem to be driving the gains in

29、math and reading achievement. Rather, he said, “you can get a lot just from being able to think clearly while you take a test. And then you also might be learning a bit better because youre thinking clearer in class from day to day”.Separate studies have found rising average temperatures likewise ca

30、n increase indoor air pollution and reduce student achievement, particularly if students take tests on hot days.“Weve had a decade or more of research into the effects of lead. Theres been much less research on the effects of air quality Were still in early days.” added Gilraine.32. What did the stu

31、dy find?A. Outdoor pollution does harm to students health. B. Clean air promotes the students study achievement.C. Air quality puts New York University at a disadvantage. D. Polluted areas and old buildings have air problems.33. How did the researcher conduct his study? A. By making analysis and com

32、parison. B. By giving examples and listing basic data.C. By telling stories and doing experiments. D. By demonstrating the causes and effects.34. According to Gilraine, what makes the students gain achievement?A. Fewer teacher and student absences. B. Rising temperatures in class.C. Clearer thinking in better air quality. D. Taking a math and reading test everyday.35. What can
