21、Peppered moth caterpillars (桦尺蠖毛虫)live north of the equator. But if you’ve never seen one, don’t feel bad: They’re experts at blending in (融为一体). Each caterpillar looks like the branch it stays on, straightening its body into a stick-like shape. It also changes its color to match the branch’s color, whether white, green or brown.

According to a paper published in Communications Biology, the caterpillars sense the color of their surroundings not only with their eyes but also with their skin.

Ilik Saccheri, an author of the paper, normally studies the adult moth. This requires keeping a lot of caterpillars around. Years of observation awakened his curiosity about their color-changing abilities. Each caterpillar hatches tiny and black, and in its early days is blown around by the wind. Once it falls on a plant, it must disguise itself to avoid being spotted by birds.

“I was a bit disbelieving that they could change that only using their eyes,” Dr. Saccheri said.

Amy Eacock, a graduate student in Dr. Saccheri’s lab decided to investigate. First, she tested the caterpillars’ eyes for light-sensitive proteins called opsins (视蛋白). “We did the skin as kind of a negative control,” said Dr. Eacock. “But then we found they were expressed in the skin as highly as they were in the head.”

That’s when she suggested blindfolding the caterpillars. The researchers could cover their eyes, place them on different-colored dowels (木钉) , and see if they still changed to match.

“I thought it was kind of a crazy idea,” Dr. Saccheri said. The blindfolding itself was a difficult task, involving black paint, a tiny paintbrush, a microscope and lots of patience, Dr. Eacock said. Caterpillars molt (蜕皮) several times over their lives, which required that they be blindfolded again frequently.

But Dr. Eacock persisted, eventually testing more than 300 caterpillars. Over and over again, the blindfolded caterpillars successfully changed color to blend in.

Many questions remain, but the behavior alone impressed the researchers. Dr. Eacock said, “I remember turning to Ilik one day and saying, ‘You know what? The caterpillars are cooler than the moths.’” “Yes. They’re pretty amazing,” Dr. Saccheri agreed.

【1】What can we learn about peppered moth caterpillars?

A．They feed on fresh tree branches.

B．They can be found easily across the world.

C．Caterpillars molt several times in their life.

D．There is something strange in caterpillars’ eyes.

【4】What is the author’s main purpose in writing this text?

A．To solve a mystery.

B．To introduce a new species.

C．To present a scientific study.

D．To awaken readers’ curiosity.

22、   Sucking blood is a risky business. At least for the female mosquitoes that need these nutrients to nurture their developing eggs. Not only do these bugs have to find a suitable blood donor, but once they've had their fill, they have to be able to escape undetected—to avoid the big swat. How they finesse this stealthy departure has just been revealed in the Journal of Experimental Biology.

Feasting(饱餐) on an unsuspecting mammal can double a mosquito's body mass. So how does a fully loaded female heave that added bulk off the skin of her host without triggering its pressure sensors and bringing on that fateful slap? To find out, Florian Muijres of Wageningen University in The Netherlands and his colleagues used cameras that record 13,500 frames per second to capture the takeoff maneuvers of 63 blood-fed malarial mosquitoes.

What they discovered is, when it comes to a soft yet speedy getaway...for female skeeters, the wing's the thing. With a wingbeat frequency of about 600 beats per second...the insects are able to lift themselves lightly off their host. That approach is the opposite of the one favored by most other winged things, says Muijres.

"When most flying animals when they take off, like birds or a fly for, example, they first use their legs to push off very hard, and then when they are in the air, then they start beating their wings and generate aerodynamic lift(气动升力) to be able to fly away. Mosquito does it the other way around. It first starts beating its wings and through the aerodynamic forces these wings generate, their body is being lifted off from the substrate. And then they do gently also push down with their long legs to be able to further power their liftoff. But these forces that are being generated by the legs are relatively small."

In fact, the faint flutter of a mosquito's wings produces less than one third of the force exerted by similar-sized but much less subtle fruit flies as they shove off in search of another banana. And even on a full stomach, these bloodsuckers are stunningly fast, says Muijres. "So takeoff phase takes only about 30 milliseconds, which is 10 times faster than how fast we can blink our eye." And they're gone before we know what hit us. And before we can hit them.

【1】What does the passage mainly talk about?

A.How mosquitoes get nutrients for their developing eggs.

B.How mosquitoes can find their suitable blood donors

C.How mosquitoes escape undetected after sucking blood.

D.How the female mosquitoes find their perfect partners.

【2】What plays the most important part in helping mosquitoes escape?

A.Their legs B.Their ears C.Their mouths D.Their wings

【3】Mosquitoes’ takeoff approach is different from that of most other winged insects in that________.

A.mosquitoes are lighter than them

B.mosquitoes are keen on sucking blood

C.mosquitoes take off first with wings and then legs

D.mosquitoes take off through the aerodynamic forces

【4】From what Muijres said, we know that mosquitoes’ escape speed is _________.

A.extremely fast B.equal to that of our blink

C.faster than that of fruit flies D.greatly affected by their full stomach

23、Undiscovered Countries to Visit

24、Team Hoyt is father Dick Hoyt and son Rick Hoyt from Massachusetts. They have competed together in various sports games. Rick is disabled and during Ironman Triathlons （铁人三项赛）Dick pulls Rick in a special boat as they swim, carries him in a special seat in the front of a bicycle as they ride, and pushes him in a special wheelchair as they run.

This love story began when Rick was small. Doctors told the Hoyts the boy would be a vegetable for the rest of his life, but the Hoyts weren't accepting it. They noticed the way Rick's eyes followed them around the room. Years later, the Hoyts took Rick to Tufts University and asked if there was anything to help the boy communicate. "No way." Dick was told, "There's nothing going on in his brain.” "Tell him a joke. " Dick replied. They did. Rick laughed. It turned out a lot was going on in his brain. With the help of a special computer, Rick was finally able to communicate.

Rick told his father through the computer that he wanted to join a charity run. Dick didn't want to disappoint Rick, so he tried to push his son five miles. That day changed Rick's life. "Dad,"   he typed, “when we were crazy running, it felt as I wasn't disabled anymore !" And that sentence touched Dick so much that he became crazy for giving Rick that feeling as often as he could.

This Father's Day, Rick bought his dad dinner, but the things he really wants to give him is a gift he can never buy. "The thing I'd most like；' Rick types, “is that my dad sits in the chair and I, push him once.”
