Mountain Lions Amid Wildfires: A Struggle for Survival

Beth Pratt, the California director for the National Wildlife Federation, has spent her career protecting Los Angeles’ mountain lions. These top predators live in a rocky area surrounded by fancy houses and many roads. When wildfires destroy vast stretches of open land, the survival options for these animals become critically limited. “This is the LA area—these mountain lions can’t just move into the Kardashians’ backyard,” Pratt says, her voice filled with concern for the animals in such a difficult situation.

(I) The chaparral vegetation, covering about 10% of California, is one of the world’s most flammable ecosystems. (II) In Los Angeles, suburban sprawl intrudes on these areas, blocking wildlife escape routes. (III)Fires strip the land of food and shelter, transforming vibrant ecosystems into barren landscapes. (IV) Pratt highlights the urgency of the situation, explaining how areas that once supported life are now “taken out of commission,” leaving many species to starve or struggle for survival.

The consequences extend beyond wildlife. Wildfires have caused devastating human losses, with 88,000 people evacuated and a rising death toll of 25. Meanwhile, the non-human world suffers equally, particularly endangered species with limited ranges. Red-legged frogs, reintroduced into Santa Monica streams in 2014, are among the most affected, with their habitats repeatedly destroyed. The Woolsey Fire of 2018 was followed by mudslides that wiped out much of the region's delicate ecosystem, and scientists fear similar outcomes this time. California newts, reptiles, and snakes are also at high risk, while mammals and birds, although more likely to escape, face challenges in finding food and shelter as the ecosystem bounces back.

Despite the devastation, hope remains. The chaparral is a fire-adapted ecosystem, and life often endures beneath the soil. Seeds can survive and germinate quickly, with grasses sprouting weeks after the first rain. Shrubs may take up to a decade to recover, depending on rainfall. Prof. Stefan Doerr, an expert on wildfires, emphasizes the resilience of this landscape, noting its evolutionary adaptation to high-intensity fires occurring every 30 to 100 years. While the aftermath looks bleak, these fires play a role in maintaining biodiversity, offering a glimmer of hope for recovery.

Read the passage carefully. Choose an option (A, B, C or D) that best answers each question from 23 to 30.

1. How do children learn about wildlife? And is what they learn the sort of thing they should be learning? It is my belief that children should not just be acquiring knowledge of animals but also developing attitudes and feelings towards them based on exposure to the real lives of animals in their natural habitats. But is this happening?

2. Some research in this area indicates that it is not. Learning about animals in school is often completely disconnected from the real lives of real animals, with the result that children often end up with little or no understanding or lasting knowledge of them. They learn factual information about animals, aimed at enabling them to identify them and have various abstract ideas about them, but that is the extent of their learning. Children's storybooks tend to personify animals as characters rather than teach about them.

3. For direct contact with wild and international animals, the only opportunity most children have is visiting a zoo. The educational benefit of this for children is often given as the main reason for doing it but research has shown that zoo visits seldom add to children's knowledge of animals – the animals are simply like exhibits in a museum that the children look at without engaging with them as living creatures. Children who belong to wildlife or environmental organizations or who watch wildlife TV programmes, however, show significantly higher knowledge than any other group of children studied in research. The studies show that if children learn about animals in their natural habitats, particularly through wildlife-based activities, they know more about them than they do as a result of visiting zoos or learning about them in the classroom.

4. Research has also been done into the attitudes of children towards animals. It shows that in general terms, children form strong attachments to individual animals, usually their pets, but do not have strong feelings for animals in general. This attitude is the norm regardless of the amount or kind of learning about animals they have at school. However, those children who watch television wildlife programs show an interest in and affection for wildlife in its natural environment, and their regard for animals in general is higher.

Sau mỗi phản ứng phân hạch sẽ sinh ra các neutron mới, các neutron này có thể kích hoạt các hạt nhân khác trong mẫu tạo ra các phản ứng tiếp theo (gọi là phản ứng phân hạch dây chuyền). Hệ số nhân neutron hiệu dụng (k) đặc trưng cho số neutron trung bình gây ra các phản ứng tiếp theo. Khi \(\text{k}>1\) dẫn tới phản ứng dây chuyền bùng nổ và số phản ứng xảy ra tăng dần theo thời gian. Người ta khởi động một lò phản ứng hạt nhân sử dụng đồng vị \(~_{92}^{235}\text{U}\) và điều chỉnh hệ số \(\text{k}>1\). Khi đạt đến giá trị công suất tỏa nhiệt mong muốn, người ta điều chỉnh các thanh điều khiển trong lò phản ứng để giữ hệ số \(\text{k}=1\) và tạo ra phản ứng dây chuyền tự duy trì. Giả sử phân hạch đầu tiên chỉ có một hạt nhân phản ưng và các lần tiếp theo xảy ra đồng loạt. Trong 100 lượt phân hạch đầu, hệ số nhân neutron hiệu dụng được giữ ở giá trị \(\text{k}=1,2\). Biết năng lượng trung bình toả ra trong một phản ứng phân hạch là khoảng 200 MeV. Trong 100 lượt phân hạch đầu tiên, lò phản ưng giải phóng lượng năng lượng tổng cộng xấp xỉ là:
