  (2026 山东烟台模拟)Two separate research groups in the UK and Denmark have come up with the same idea for a study that could help save endangered species, and have gotten the same results.It involves sucking environmental DNA from the air that animals leave behind.
  “We use a really small pump that pulls the air through, and we hope the DNA gets caught on the filter (过滤器),” said Elizabeth Clare, the lead researcher.“It’s a bit like making coffee.You make coffee by sucking water through a filter and leaving the coffee grounds behind.That’s basically what we’re doing; we’re just sucking the air through and hoping that the DNA gets left behind.”
  Clare says the concept has been used for years in different ways.
Scientists sample pathogens (病原体) from the air, which has been used to help track COVID-19.Environmental DNA can also be collected from water to help ease invasive species.
  A big goal for both research teams with the new study is to be able to locate endangered species and help save them.It is important to note that this type of DNA sampling can only be picked up if a species is in the area, so if there were two of the same animal, scientists would not be able to tell which one the DNA came from.
  Both research groups also reported certain DNA samples not showing up when they knew an animal had been in the area.They also can’t tell yet how long an animal’s DNA will stick around after it’s been in one area.Clare says she’d like to plan more researches to get these answers.
  But one thing is for sure after conducting the study.Clare says she has a whole new perspective on taking a deep breath.“As you know, I’m walking through a jungle or the park or taking my dog for a walk or my kids out to play, and I take a deep breath; I think I just inhaled information about all the things that have been here before, and as a scientist, that’s exciting to think that the information that I’m trying to gather is literally hanging in front of me,” she said.

B. It collects certain DNA within range.
C. It locates endangered species exactly.
D. It predicts the duration of animals’ stay.

B. She agrees with the benefits of deep breathing.
C. She adopts brand-new methods of purifying the air.

  (2025 湖南长沙二模)Watching thousands of baby puffins (海 鹦), known as pufflings, being thrown off a cliff (悬崖) is perfectly normal for the people of Iceland’s Westman Islands.This yearly tradition is what’s known as “puffling season” and it is a crucial practice.Puffins are charming birds and attract locals and tourists to visit them.But during puffling season, the focus shifts from merely watching to actively helping the young puffins.
  The chicks of puffins hatch in nests on high sea cliffs.About six weeks after hatching, they will fly from their nests and spend several years at sea until they return to land to breed.Puffins have historically found the ocean by following the light of the moon.
  But because of lights from towns near where the puffins nest, they can get lost.Instead of heading out to sea to fish and grow strong, the birds end up heading inland.They wander on the streets, where cars, cats, and buildings pose dangerous obstacles.So, many residents spend a few weeks in August and September collecting baby puffins that have crashed into town and then gently throwing them into the ocean.
  According to Erpur Hansen, a local ecologist, the average puffin population in Iceland has decreased by 70 percent over the last 30 years.“While light pollution may be the most visible and easily blamed issue, what’s restricting puffin numbers most dramatically are rising sea surface temperatures,” he explains.To further worsen the issue, puffins also only lay one egg per year, and only after they’re 3-6 years old.That rareness, combined with lack of food, and the legal hunting of the birds in Iceland all come together to threaten the population.
  In fact, Hansen has suggested that if all factors continue on a similar trend, puffins in Iceland could be a thing of the past in a matter of decades.“On the upside, the last few years have seen something of a population increase, but that doesn’t mean it’s time to relax and it’s important to remain watchful to protect the birds, especially during puffling season,” Hansen says.
