The British summer is extremely beautiful．Trees，flowers，birds and butterflies make the whole country like a big garden．However，many British people have noticed that butterflies have been gradually disappearing from this picturesque scenery during the past several years．What has happened to them?
Butterfly Conservation，a charity in the UK，is running a survey to help answer this question．The result is more serious than people expected．According to the survey，among 59 butterfly species found in the British Isles，more than three-quarters of them are suffering a declining population，including the most popular Meadow Brown．Moreover，half of all butterfly species are on the verge of extinction．Some common species such as the small Tortoiseshell butterfly and the Wall butterfly are dropping dramatically．The latter cannot even be seen in many parts of central and southern England．The Blue butterfly，which was commonly seen in the south，has started colonizing Edinburgh in the past few years．
The numbers of butterflies have dropped to a record low in the past three years largely because the summer in the UK is getting cooler and their habitat is also degrading．Fortunately Britain is experiencing a long hot summer this year compared to the last few summers．Conservationists believe the warm weather will bring some benefit to the butterflies．
Sir David Attenborough，president of Butterfly Conservation，said：“Butterflies in quantity tell us that all is well with nature．When they decline it's a warning that other wildlife will be soon heading the same way．”
The survey is still going on．The public is also encouraged to keep track of the UK’s butterfly population．The organisers hope the survey will help raise public awareness of the value of butterflies in the UK．Butterflies give an indication of the well-being of nature and the environment． 21．Why was the survey carried out?
A．To find out the reason for the butterflies decline． B．To raise the public awareness of wildlife protection． C．To make sure the number of the existing butterflies． D．To improve the living condition of the butterflies． 22．What can we infer from the last two paragraphs? A．Butterflies in the UK will die out soon．
B．Other wildlife has faced the same trouble as butterflies．
C．Butterflies can indicate the harmony of nature． D．The environment in the UK is heavily polluted． 23．What can be the best title of the text? A．The survey of butterfly species B．UK butterflies decline C．Butterflies and nature
D．The influenceof butterflies decline

When 6-year-old Jack Foley crossed the finish line last month at the Long Beach Kids Triathlon，it was more than an athletic achievement．His completion marked a remarkable recovery from a rare heart condition．
The journey began before Jack was born．
At a routine 20-week examination，doctors told parents-to-be Rob Foley and Lauren Kiefer-Foley of Long Island，New York，that the fetus’(胎儿的)heart wasn’t properly developing．“The doctor told us，‘we can’t see the left side of the baby’s heart，’”Kiefer-Foley recalled．“He told us，‘you need to get to a cardiologist(心脏病专家)first thing in the morning．’”
Further tests would confirm a diagnosis of hypoplastic left heart syndrome，a rare birth fault affecting the heart’s ability to pump blood through the body．Doctors informed the couple about the risks and challenges their child could face．“We were advised by many doctors to terminate our pregnancy because the condition is so severe．They told us that most babies don’t even survive birth，let alone the first surgery，”Kiefer-Foley said．
Nonetheless，the couple decided to give their baby a chance．
After Jack was born at full-term via a scheduled C—section(剖腹产)，doctors took him straight to a care unit to administer the level of care he would need before his first open—heart surgery days later．“When the doctor said‘it’s a boy!’I didn’t get to see him for hours after that．”Kiefer—Foley said．They would also have to wait until after Jack’s first surgery to hold him for the first time．
With a successful delivery behind them，it was now up to Dr．Emile Bacha，chief of Morgan Stanley Children’s Hospital to guide Jack through a series of surgeries to repair the newborn’s heart． 24．Why did the author say“it was more than an athletic achievement”in Paragraph 1? A．Jack was only six years old． B．The event was too difficult．
C．Jack once suffered from severe heart disease． D．Jack didn’t recover from severe heart disease． 25．What was the bad effect of Jack’s disease? A．It led to inadequate blood supply． B．The beat of heart was not heard．
C．The right side of the baby’s heart can’t be seen． D．His intelligence will not develop properly．
26．What does the underlined word“terminate”in Paragraph 4 refer to? A．continue B．stop C．change A．Jack’s journey a11 over the world． B．The sorrow and despair of Jack’s parents．
D．adjust
27．What will most probably be talked about in the next part of the text?
