21、Science News

Tool to crow about

New Caledonian crows, birds with surprising and impressive abilities, seem to use tools constantly, not just when they’re trying to get food. Oxford researchers report that New Caledonian crows use sticks to poke (戳) at new and potentially threatening objects, providing the first evidence that birds use tools for more than just finding food. Of the 10 crows tested in the experiment, four used sticks to poke at and explore a rubber spider (蜘蛛), a flashing bicycle light and other items that they had never seen before, the scientists report online in Animal Cognition. Checking out possible threats without making direct contact may benefit curious birds like crows.

Apes (猿) show handedness

Contrary to earlier reports, ape species, including chimpanzees, gorillas and orangutans, show humanlike hand preferences when handling objects. Chimpanzees and gorillas favored the right hand and orangutans the left hand, a team led by psychologist William Hopkins of Agnes Scott College, found in a study to appear in the Journal of Human Evolution. Hopkins and his colleagues observed which hand 777 apes used to reach peanut butter inside a long tube. He wants to explore reasons for orangutans’ left-handedness. No human societies exist in which the majority of individuals are left-handed, and neither are there societies in which left-handedness is completely absent.

Plants go downhill

Researchers looking uphill for biological responses to climate change may be missing species moving downhill, say researchers from California. Plant species do move, as seeds that are spread tend to grow better in one place than in another. As temperatures rise, some species could, or already do, move uphill to find the kind of cool spots they’re used to. But the best elevation (高度) for a plant to maintain its water balance can shift with climate change. Comparing survey and climate records from the 1930s and the present day for 64 California plant species, the best water-balancing elevation shifted downhill more often than up, the scientists report in Science.

【1】What was the crows’ purpose in using sticks?

A.To move objects. B.To find some food.

C.To threaten a spider. D.To avoid possible danger.

【2】What does the underlined “Apes show handedness” imply?

A.Apes prefer to use one hand rather than the other.

B.Apes prefer to use the right hand like humans.

C.Apes tend to use their hands to handle objects.

D.Apes use their hands for different purposes.

【3】According to the text, what causes plant species to move uphill?

A.Their water needs. B.Climate records.

C.Global warming. D.The low elevation.

【4】What is the text mainly about?

A.Scientific discoveries. B.Scientific experiments.

C.Scientific approaches. D.Scientific theories.

22、   Growing up, Deka Ismail says she let labels define what she could be. “I was a black girl, from a refugee (难民) family,” Deka said. “It was as if I was only allowed to explore in this predetermined box.”

After a high school chemistry class inspired her to think about a career in science and gave her confidence in the field, Deka learned to live outside labels and began making big plans for her future. Now she is about to begin her freshman year at the University of California, planning to become a professor.

Born and raised in San Diego’s City Heights neighbourhood, Deka is the daughter of a Somali refugee couple. While some might say Deka’s success happened in spite of her background, she would say differently, that her experiences shaped her and inspired her to be the driven, young scientist that she is today.

When Deka was eight years old, her mother got a job by studying hard back in school in order to support the whole family. That made Deka realize that education could make a difference to one’s life. She spent a lot of time in the library reading books, and didn’t do many of the things her peers did, like partying or having romantic relationships.

“I always felt like I had to be the perfect girl for my family,” Deka said. “You have to not even do your best but two times better than everyone else. I felt like the whole world was waiting for me to mess up.”

Deka’s efforts paid off. The summer before her senior year of high school, she was accepted to the American Chemical Society Project SEED Programme. “She brought both enthusiasm and focus,” Botham, a researcher at this research institute, recalled. “She arrived every day ready to work, ready to learn and ready to tackle new challenges regardless of whether or not she had done anything similar.”

When asked what advice she would give to others like her, Deka warned them not to underestimate themselves. “Don’t tell yourself that scholarship is too big or this programme is too competitive or I’ll never get into this school, ” she said. “I was not sure whether I could make it until I started seeing the acceptance letters rolling in.”

【1】From the passage, we can learn that ______.

A.Deka was adopted by a refugee family

B.Deka spent a lot of time going to parties

C.Deka became a professor after graduation

D.Deka’s experiences drove her to work hard

【2】Deka realized the importance of education ______.

A.from her mother’s experience B.after her chemistry class

C.by reading books in the library D.through working at the institute

【3】According to the last paragraph, Deka advised that students be ______.

A.patient B.confident

C.ambitious D.generous

【4】What does the story intend to tell us?

A.Life is not all roses.

B.Practice makes perfect.

C.Well begun is half done.

D.Hard work leads to success.

23、Electric Vehicle Benefits

Plug-in electric vehicles (also known as electric cars or EVs) are connected, fun, and practical. They can reduce emissions and even save your money.

Fueling with electricity offers some advantages not available in ordinary internal burning engine vehicles. Because electric motors react quickly, EVs are very responsive and have very good torque(使机器运转的扭转力). EVs are often more digitally connected than conventional vehicles, with many EV charging stations providing the option to control charging from a smartphone app.

Just like a smartphone, you can plug in your EV when you get home and have it ready for you to use the next morning. Since the electric grid (输电网) is available almost anywhere, there are a variety of options for charging: at home, at work or on the road. By charging often, you may never need to go to a gas station again!

You can find many advantages with an electric car:

◆Zero Oil price and promotes Energy Management

◆Aids in reducing the Emission of Green House Gases

◆No tailpipe pollutants emitted and leads to reduced air pollution

◆No gas required to run your Electric Car

◆Cost Effective and many governments are appreciating Electric Cars by money back offers

◆Electric Cars guarantee a smooth drive and reduce noise pollution too.

Electric Cars are modes of Green Transportation that run using Batteries, Solar Panels or other energy sources that are just one time investment. The charging of batteries of saving energy through Solar Panels might be time consuming, but such initiatives ensure a safe environment. Though electric cars are a little costly, we should participate in such a global initiative and encourage others to do the same. After all, it is we who can make our world a better place to live in.

【1】Compared with conventional cars, Electrical Vehicles can _______.

A．react quickly

B．increase air pollution

C．be charged only at home

D．be connected less digitally

【2】Which of the following is NOT the advantage of an electric car?

A．Needing no gas to run it

B．Reducing noise pollution

C．Ensuring a smooth drive

D．Ruining energy management

【3】What’s the author’s attitude towards electric cars?

A．Doubtful

B．Supportive

C．Opposed

D．Indifferent

24、   Hong Kong was once home to booming shellfish reefs, but due to over-development and coastal pollution, shellfish populations have declined sharply. Restoring oyster reefs can solve some of the environmental problems typical of coastal development, such as damage from storm surge and loss of biodiversity.

“Globally, we have lost 85% of shellfish reefs, making it the most endangered marine habitat on earth,” said Marine Thomas, Conservation Project Manager, for TNC in Hong Kong. “Most people associate oysters with food, but less well-known is that oysters create reef habitats that support coastal marine life. Only by restoring these lost habitats can we start to bring back some of the associated environmental benefits.”

A primary benefit that healthy oyster reefs contribute to coastal environments is their role as natural water purifiers. This new study found that, just 7 m2 of Hong Kong oyster reef can filter up to one Olympic swimming pool of water each day; a single Hong Kong oyster can filter up to 30 liters of water per hour at summer temperatures, among the highest filtration rates recorded of any oyster species.

Even more importantly, oyster reefs provide habitat and nursery grounds for many native species that are otherwise lost from our shores. Another research found over 80 species on intertidal muddy shores in Deep Bay, 95% of which were found in oyster reefs.

“While we are excited by the biological possibility of restoration, unfortunately the human aspect remains our biggest challenge to bring these habitats hack at scale. Shellfish habitats are still severely under protected in Hong Kong. We are working with Government on gaining more protection and recognition for these important ecosystems and hope to include them in the next Hong Kong Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan(BSAP),” said Ms. Thomas.

【1】What is the problem with Hong Kong introduced in Paragraph 1?

A．Coastal areas were seriously polluted.

B．Less food can be produced from the sea.

C．A large number of shellfish have died.

D．Shellfish have disappeared in coastal areas.

【2】What is the main function of the oyster reefs?

A．Purifying sea water.

B．Feeding shellfish in them.

C．Lowering water's temperature.

D．Filtering swimming pool.

【3】What is Thomas's attitude towards the restoration of oyster reefs?

A．Ambiguous.

B．Negative.

C．Hopeful.

D．Cautious.

【4】In which part of a website can the text probably be found?

A．Society.

B．Environment.

C．Technology.

D．Education.

25、Many of us are lucky enough to have some degrees of choice over what we eat. When we open the fridge or browse the shelves of the local supermarket, there are a variety of options_________to us. But are the_________we make about our diet as free as we like to think? What if there was something _________our own hunger influencing what we eat?

Certainly, it appears we’re_________ influenced by other people-especially those _________to us — when it comes to what we eat. Research has found that the closer and stronger two people’s _________, the more _________hey have over each other’s food choices. “A lot of our cues from face-to-face interactions are linked with who we’re with,” says Solveig Argeseanu, associate professor of global health and epidemiology at Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia, US. “It’s more about the relationship and how _________myself with that person than other individuals. If I think the person I’m with is more _________or popular, I’ll tend to want to__________them more.”

Our eating habits are also influenced by what we see. Scientists say we __________ oozing (渗出) protein, a dribbling egg yolk, or bubbling mozzarella (马苏里拉奶酪), for example. “There is some evidence that, if you see pictures of food, that visual__________can prompt you to feel a desire to eat,” says Suzanne Higgs, professor in the psychobiology of appetite at the University of Birmingham, UK. Although, she says, whether people __________through on that desire is influenced by lots of other __________, such as what food is available at the time.

Social media is one place where visual and social cues __________. Undoubtedly there is (a/an)__________ that if friends in your social network post__________about particular types of food, it could lead you to__________them, for better or for worse.

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

My ten-year-old self loved summertime. The best part of summer was the community pool. Everyone was there.

We didn’t have a care in the world. Our biggest concern was which one of us could hold her breath underwater the longest. We didn’t care what we looked like or who was cool. I never once thought about how I looked in a swimsuit or if my hair looked good. I was aware that I wasn’t super-thin like some of the other girls I saw, but I didn’t care.

And then one day, I was taking my turn on the diving board with all the other kids. I jumped in, floated freely to the top and swam over to the ladder to make my way out of the pool. I noticed a girl standing at the top of the ladder, so I swam slowly, giving her time to move. I didn’t know her. She looked cute and thin.

But instead of moving, a strange thing happened. This girl leaned over the pool and said to me, “They don’t allow beached (搁浅的) whales in this pool.”

Beached whales? I soon realized that I was the beached whale. Suddenly, my cool blue swimsuit didn’t cover enough. I got out of the pool quickly and wrapped my towel around my body, feeling like I was going to throw up. From that moment on, I was aware of my size.

Clothes became a horrible dream, and I struggled through my teen years and into adulthood. I cried over clothes that didn’t fit. My heart had always hated the little girl by the pool, who took the confidence out of my life until I got my daughter, Lisa.

One day I dressed my little girl in beautiful clothes and put a bow (蝴蝶结) on her head, but she refused because she liked to be comfortable. Is society interested in comfort? However, when I stared at her, I suddenly realized how beautiful she was, even though she was covered in mud.

注意：

1. 续写词数应为150左右；

2. 请按如下格式作答。

When Lisa was ten, I came across a picture of myself when I was ten and I showed it to her.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Then I told her the story of the little girl by the pool.
