21、Poison frogs across Central and South America display some of the brightest colors in the animal kingdom. The way such creatures evolved to be just colorful enough to signal their toxic (有毒的) defense-but not so colorful that they become vulnerable to predators (捕食者) — has long been a grey area for scientists. Initially, predators would not have known that bright colors signal toxicity, and therefore would have eaten, and then become ill-these easily-spotted few members of a species with the colorful mutation (突变). In theory, this should make it virtually impossible for the aposematic (防护色的) pioneers to pass on their genes to their offspring, allowing for the mutation to take hold in the population.

To get to the bottom of this dilemma, Karl Loeffler Henry, a researcher at Carleton University launched the new study. Loeffler Henry’s team pored over data from the family trees of 1,100 species of frogs, newts and salamanders, and categorized them into one of five groups. On one end of range are the creatures with bright blues, yellows and reds. On the other are species that blend in perfectly with their surroundings. Between these poles, the scientists place species with camouflaged (伪装的) tops and colorful bottoms in various degrees. These tend to display their dramatic halves only when trying to defend themselves from predators.

The team used nine different computer models to test the potential evolutionary routes the species in the bright aposematic group might have taken to evolve this way. In the end, the researchers realized that they all kind of followed a similar pattern, evolving from species in the middle of that range, those whose colors are hidden unless in danger.

There have also been other theories proposed, but this new theory presents a mechanism that is likely to play a role in the evolution of anti-predator defense in various prey groups and a wide range of different predators. Possibly, it might inspire the exploration of evolution of warning coloration in other animal groups as well.

【1】What remained unclear to scientists in the past?

A．How the proper shades of the colors are evolved.

B．How these creatures signal their toxic defence.

C．Which colors are better at scaring predators away.

D．Which creatures are at higher risk of being eaten.

【2】What do the underlined words “this dilemma” in paragraph 3 refer to?

A．The predators clearly knew about the toxicity but still feed on them.

B．The first colorful members have bright colors but can avoid predators.

C．The first colorful members were eaten but the mutation was passed on.

D．The predators became seriously ill but their population continued to boom.

【3】What do we know about the new study?

A．The colors of all those species were either bright or grey.

B．The aposematic group evolved by following nine routes.

C．The researchers observed these different species in the wild.

D．The origin of the evolution turned out to be the hidden colors.

【4】What is the last paragraph mainly about?

A．Other theories of the evolution.

B．Other animals’ evolution routes.

C．The drawbacks of the study.

D．The significance of the study.

22、   A Wisconsin mom makes mini-me toys as unique as the children who embrace them.

As a social worker using play therapy in the 1990s to help children through their cancer treatment, Amy Jandrisevits wished she could comfort her patients with dolls that bore their all-too-familiar hair loss and surgery scars. “I would clear up Goodwill for bald Cabbage Patch Kids because that was the closest thing I could find. ”she says. “I thought these kids need something that looks like they do. ”The idea stuck with Jandrisevits after she left social work in 2001 to start a family. Then in 2015, a mom whose daughter lost a leg to amputation(截肢) asked Jandrisevits, handy with a sewing machine, if she could craft a mini-me doll for the girl.

After Jandrisevits posted a photo of the legless doll on Facebook, orders poured in for likeness with everything from albinism(白化病) to birthmarks. “Differences make kids feel isolated and judged, ”she says, “with a doll, a child sees I am not the only one who looks this way. . . and beautiful enough to be a doll.” Jandrisevits, 46, has since crafted nearly 400 custom dolls with her New Berlin, Wis, dining room table, with donors often covering the $ 100 cost through Jandrisevits’s nonprofit A Doll Like Me. The mom of three insisted on making each doll herself with help from her mother and a friend.

For Keagan Cameron, 2, whose rare skin condition has him covered in birthmarks, Jandrisevits matched the doll’s spot exactly. “That was the most amazing thing,” says Keagan’s mom, Joy.

Brian Grassi of Coventry, R. I. , says she wept like a baby when a doll came in the mail for his daughter Emma, born three months later in October without her lower left arm. “Seeing my daughter with her doll, it makes me think about her future, not her limitations.”

【1】What inspired Jandrisevits to make Mini-me toys?

A.Her own family condition. B.Her hair loss and surgery scars.

C.Her daughter's losing a leg to amputation. D.Her working experience as a social worker.

【2】According to the passage, we can infer that   .

A.making Mini-me toys cost a lot.

B.mini-me toys have won great popularity.

C.Jandrisevits made the Mini-me toys all by herself.

D.A Doll Like Me is an organization to raise fund for children in need.

【3】What is the passage mainly about?

A.Mini-me toys comfort kids. B.Dolls make kids happy.

C.Children enjoy dolls’ company. D.A mom likes making mini-me toys.

【4】 How would you describe Jandrisevits?

A.Helpful and cautious. B.Responsible and grateful.

C.Warmhearted and determined. D.Ambitious and tough.

24、Many studies have shown that getting more exercise is good for our brain. But can it happen the other way around? Can working on elevating mood help us to exercise more? The answer to this question is positive.

A study conducted by Emmons and McCullough formed three groups. One group was told to journal once a week and list 5 things that happened during the week that they were grateful for. Another group was told to journal once a week and list 5 things that had been a problem for them. A third group was told to journal once a week about 5 things that affected them, but were not given instruction as to whether they should be positive or negative.

After 10 weeks, the group that had focused on gratitude ended up 25%happier than the other two groups. Astonishingly, the gratitude group also exercised almost 1. 5 hours longer per week than the other groups.

Daniel Amen, in his book, Change Your Brain, Change Your Life, notes that emotional tagging of events is critical to survival. If we tag an event negatively, it can cause an avoidance response. If we tag an event positively, it can drive us to action.

Apparently, our survival is more dependent on being able to perceive a threat to our being, rather than notice that something good is happening. Focusing on the negative can cause us to lose sight of the big picture.

Jonathan Haidt, in his book The Happiness Hypothesis, explains that once we take a negative stance, we look for evidence that supports it. If we find some evidence-enough so that our position makes sense-we stop thinking. When this happens, often people will not start a change of thinking for themselves.

Jonathan Haidt notes that gratitude increases one's sense of control over a situation. A sense of control can bring about an increase in action, energy, and happiness. This can translate into sustained optimism, the ability to consider new options, set new goals, and, yes, even exercise more.

【1】What were the three groups in Emmons and McCullough's study asked to do?

A．Write five things down

B．Take exercise regularly

C．Focus on being thankful

D．Express their true feelings

【2】Why is emotional tagging significant?

A．It protects us from negative emotions.

B．It allows us to think in a positive way.

C．It tells us how to manage our feelings.

D．It determines how we respond to events.

【3】How can being grateful benefit us according to Jonathan Haidt?

A．It helps us to get rid of unrealistic goals.

B．We feel situations are more controllable.

C．It is a great way to stop thinking too much.

D．We will regard everything around wonderful.

【4】What is the best title for the text?

A．Changing Thinking Model Is Necessary

B．Staying Optimistic Brings Active Thinking

C．Working Out Regularly Is Good for Our Brain

D．Being Grateful Motivates Us to Exercise More
