21、Some birds are inner decorators, placing big, showy feathers (羽毛) in their nests. But rather than decorating their homes, these birds may be trying to frighten nest-stealing neighbors.

Karen Wiebe is a behavioral ecologist at the University of Saskatchewan in Saskatoon, Canada. She and her colleague Slagsvold saw birds placing large feathers on the surfaces of nests. Those feathers wouldn’t help with warmth. The researchers wondered whether the birds might be using the decorations to send a message.

For birds that nest in holes, competition for nests can be really violent. These somewhat rare holes can also hide danger because predators (掠夺者) may be hiding inside. If a nest contains feathers or other remains, it might be evidence that a predator had been there. Those holes might not be as desirable.

Wiebe and Slagsvold assumed that some birds may use feathers to create a mock (模拟的) kill site.

During spring, when nest competition is the most violent, the scientists set up pairs of nesting boxes. One box contained white feathers. The other either contained no feathers or black feathers. Inside the boxes, black feathers were more difficult to see than white ones. Using video cameras, the researchers spied on how birds reacted to the boxes. When birds took longer to enter, that suggested the animals were scared.

Birds hesitated to enter boxes with white feathers. But when feathers were in front of a nest, birds jumped right up and grabbed them. That suggested that birds weren’t afraid of the feathers themselves.

“It was really interesting to discover that birds were using a trick to help them keep their nests.” Wiebe says. When a bird leaves its nest to search for food, that opens the door for a nest stealer. “But if it can buy a little time by scaring away predators with these feathers, then it has a better chance of coming back in time to defend its nest site.”

A．birds compete with each other for nests

23、One third of adults over 65 in America have never used the Internet, and half don’t even have Internet access at home. In San Francisco, “the center of tech”, 40% of older adults do not have basic digital literacy skills.

This situation is becoming appalling as over 10,000 Americans turn 65 every single day. By 2050,22% of Americans will be 65 or older. Meanwhile, technology is developing very fast. This means that a large number of people will be unable to proficiently use emergent technology.

Many people believe that seniors aren’t required to participate in our tech future because they’ll be retired and relaxed soon. But this is the farthest thing from the truth. Baby boomers are currently experiencing a different boom: With more people getting older than ever before, their life expediencies are also increasing dramatically. With medical advancements, the number of American people projected to live into their 90’s has doubled since 1965.

However, they don’t have strong financial or educational support. This is not a problem; it’s a crisis. More than half of employees over 50 have been laid off in what’s being called ”forced retirement“. And few organizations are actively helping older employees make the transition from full-time jobs to part-time ones. For those fortunate enough to be employed, 3 out of 5 older workers experience prejudice.

The easiest solution is to teach digital literacy. If baby boomers want to survive the forthcoming retirement crisis, they should get enough digital knowledge and skills to operate today’s tools and tomorrow’s platforms. With every crisis comes an opportunity. Tutoring, customer service, editing, research, book-keeping, and other virtual assistance-based work open the doors. But again, digital knowledge is first required to live in our high-tech society and gig economy. So try to get more online and navigate the growing number of sites and apps.

【1】What does the underlined word “appalling” probably mean in paragraph2?

A．Confusing.

B．Terrible.

C．Controllable.

D．Inspiring.

【2】What problem may baby boomers face?

A．A crisis after retirement.

B．Being knocked out in the future.

C．Failing to receive good healthcare.

D．Tending to double their life expediencies.

【3】What is the last paragraph mainly about?

A．The features of high-tech jobs.

B．The way out for baby boomers.

C．Potential industries in the future.

D．The importance of developing technology.

【4】What does the author advise baby boomers to do?

A．Have a good sense of crisis.

B．Avoid retiring at an early age.

C．Look for many part-time jobs.

D．Improve digital literacy actively.

24、A beloved pet that went missing in the Highlands area of Vancouver Island was found seven days later by an army of volunteers and was reunited with her owner.

The mastiff-retriever cross (马士提夫獒犬), named Luna, was found trapped on a narrow cliff ledge (岩架), and was reunited with her owner after a heroic rescue last month. It’s believed that Luna had chased an animal out of her yard and got lost, somehow falling off a cliff and landing on a two-foot-wide ledge. She remained there, alone, as her owner and searchers wildly looked for her.

“It was terrible because it was getting colder and she always sleeps next to me or my daughter,” said Saryta Schaefer, Luna’s owner.

After she’d been missing for several days, there was a break in the case. Across the water, Ron Cheeke had heard Luna’s cries for help. Cheeke decided to record the sound and notify the pet rescue group ROAM. He even went so far as to search the area in a boat to try to locate the exact source of the sound. “I used a pot, and every time I banged on the pot, the dog barked back,” Cheeke told CTV News.

Eventually, after searching on both water and land, a team found the scared dog and used a harness (保护带) to pull her back to safety and to her owner. “I almost fell over when I saw her-it was quite exciting,” said Schaerer.

Cheeke said his own dog had died recently and he was motivated to help. “I lost my dog last year, so it was good,” said Cheeke. “It’s good to see it back with its owners."

“There’s no feeling like it. When you’re involved with this and you get the owner back with the pet, it’s worth all the money in the world,” added ROAM volunteer Andy Carswell.

【1】Which of the following happened to Luna first?

A．Luna was found stuck on a narrow spot.

B．Luna fell off a cliff and remained there.

C．Luna’s owner tried to find her back.

D．Luna ran after an animal and went missing.

【2】Why did Cheeke keep knocking on the pot?

A．To be sure where the cry came from.

B．To draw attention to the passers-by.

C．To encourage Luna to cry for help.

D．To remind volunteers of the cries.

【3】What can we infer from Cheeke’s word in Paragraph 6?

A．He was determined.

B．He was adaptable.

C．He was sympathetic.

D．He was cooperative.

【4】Which is the most suitable title for the text?

A．Volunteers Praised for Saving a Dog

B．A Missing Dog Reunited with Owner

D．A Seven-day Rescue Ended in Peace
