【文章內(nèi)容簡(jiǎn)介】 heir winter home in the trees high up in the mountains of the natural reserve. Once there, they gather together in large masses. These masses often bee so heavy that they cause tree branches to bend or even break. But there’s a purpose of all these massing — it allows the butterflies to survive in the low nighttime temperatures at these high altitudes. The Michoacan Monarch Butterfly Sanctuary is most impressive during the months of February and March, just before the winged insects begin their long journey home. Mexico’s Butterfly Forest is a shelter protected by law, and one of the country’s most popular sights, but that hasn’t stopped people from slowly but steadily destroying it. Illegal woodcutting in the heart of the Monarch Butterfly Biosphere Reserve has been a longstanding problem, but criminals are rarely brought to justice. They are often set free after paying some money. Just last month, an even greater threat rose in Michoacan’s butterfly home. The country’s largest mining corporation gained the right to reopen an old mine in the heart of the monarch reserve. Experts believe that if the mine is reopened, it will likely spell the end of this magical place. And as if all this wasn’t bad enough, the increasing use of herbicides（除草劑） in the American corn belt has led to the decrease of a plant which is essential to the monarchs’ development from egg into butterfly. 28.

D University graduates Mallorie Brodie and Lauren Hasegawa, who invented a smartphone app that tracks construction defects for mercial builders, had a tiger by the tail. Bridgit, which they founded in 2020, launched a cloudbased munications platform that helped manage defects on construction sites, which can delay projects and result in costly repairs if left unchecked. The smartphone application lets site supervisors take photos of cracks or damaged paint, share them with employees and track the problems to solution. More than 600 subcontractors used the pilot version in many building sites before the mercial version, called Closeout, officially launched. Feedback(反饋 )was so good that they began to wonder: Why limit their invention to a specific industry? Why not turn it into some kind of a handy tool for consumers too? This became their dilemma. In other words, should they stay the course or look for wider applications of their app? The experts polled all agreed Bridgit should stay focused on its original goal. Ms. Hasegawa and Ms. Brodie took that advice. As more business customers signed on, it became clear that they made the right decision. Since then, the pany’s growth has been rapid. Earlier this year, Bridgit launched Closeout ,which is designed so that even the least techsavvy can use it easily. Today, the app is being used on sites across Canada and the United States and even by top general contractors. In October, Bridgit was named to the Canadian Innovation Exchange’s top 20 list of Canada’s most innovative (創(chuàng)新的 ) panies working in digital media and information and munication technology . But Ms. Hasegawa and Ms. Brodie are not resting on their glories. They have also been collecting feedback on Closeout from customers, and they’ll launch a new version in the spring. It will target not only general contractors but developers and building owners, too. 32. What does the underlined word ＂ defects＂ in Paragraph 1 probably mean? A. Style. B. Process. C. Drawback. D
