21、   Researchers have recorded penguins making sounds underwater for the first time — the first time such behavior has been identified in seabirds. These animals, like other seabirds, are highly vocal on land. They are known to communicate when their heads are above the water in the ocean, possibly for the purposes of group formation.

However, until the latest study — published in the journal Zoological Science — it was not known whether penguins made sounds underwater, like some other air-breathing marine predators, such as whales and dolphins. For their research, a team of scientists led by Andréa from Nelson Mandela University in South Africa, wanted to investigate this issue. To do so, they fitted adult penguins from three species with video cameras featuring built-in microphones.

To the surprise of Andréa and her colleagues, the team recorded a total of 203 underwater vocalizations from the penguins in the underwater footage they captured over a month-long period in 2019. These are the first recordings of seabirds producing vocalizations underwater. “I couldn’t believe it. I had to replay it many times,” Andréa said.

The vocalizations that the team recorded — which sound like rapid whoops — were very short in duration, lasting about 0.06 seconds on average. And all of these sounds were emitted（发出）during dives in which the animals were searching for food. Currently, it is not clear why the penguins are making these sounds; however, they only produce them while hunting. In fact, more than 50 percent of the vocalizations were immediately preceded by an acceleration movement or followed by an attempt to hunt.

According to the researchers, this suggests that the sounds are related to hunting behavior — especially because the penguins tend to be alone when they make them, indicating that communication was not the purpose. The researchers guess that the penguins may be using the vocalizations to stun(使昏迷) their prey. However, much more research is required to determine why the penguins make these sounds, the scientists note.

【1】How does Andréa’s team conduct the study about penguins?

A.By recording penguins’ sounds on land.

B.By fixing electronic devices on the penguins.

C.By observing penguins’ activities underwater.

D.By catching different kinds of adult penguins.

【2】What can we infer from Andréa’s words in paragraph 3?

A.Penguins’ sounds are too low to hear.

B.She doubts if penguins could make sounds.

C.Penguins seldom make sounds underwater.

D.It’s not easy to obtain penguins’ sounds underwater.

【3】When do penguins probably produce sounds underwater?

A.When they take a deep breath.

B.When they dive to hunt for food.

C.When they teach their babies diving.

D.When they communicate with their partners.

【4】What is the scientists’ attitude towards the research results?

A.Cautious. B.Negative.

C.Supportive. D.Indifferent.

22、Comments on the July Issue of Reader’s Digest

Jennie Gardner, Bath

I couldn’t agree more with Lee Child, that books are really important. Yes, you can get lost in them but you can also find yourself and new worlds and possibilities in them. Books help us to forget and remember. They remind us both of what's really important and what’s not.

And, as Lee says, they let us hold the whole world in our hands, We can feel the weight of this word, we can mark our favourite spots, add in our own thoughts and see our progress through the pages as the story leads us back home, allowing us to re-find ourselves along the way.

Jayne Wile, North Wales

Brian Blessed’s I Remember was most enjoyable. I love Brian, a popular actor of stage and screen. It was interesting to learn more about his life. I noted how he enjoyed being involved in the Space Program, doing 600 hours training in Moscow and I have to agree with his thought：”We need to get out to Mars because the Earth has got to rest.” Mars has always been a source of inspiration for explorers and scientists.

Melanie Lodge, West Yorkshire

I was thrilled to read author Lee Childs If I Ruled The World. I was most impressed that he wanted to make teachers the most respected and highest paid professionals.

I work as a teaching assistant in a primary school and have done so since my youngest daughter began school 12 years ago. Until then I had no idea just how much planning was involved in each lesson and how much patience was required in a class of 30 children! I also agree with Lee that there’s nothing more rewarding than finishing a good book.

【1】What is Jennie Gardner’s comment mainly about?

A.Books make us get lost. B.Books mean a lot in life.

C.Books help us progress. D.Books bring us possibilities.

【2】What do we know about Jayne Wile?

A.He once got trained in Moscow.

B.He joined in the Space Program.

C.He thinks it necessary to explore Mars.

D.He’s a popular actor of stage and screen.

【3】What can be inferred from Melanie Lodge’s comment?

A.She better knows how to teach.

B.She thinks teachers are overpaid.

C.She finds teaching more rewarding.

D.She used to work in a primary school.

【4】Which of them have a similar opinion according to the passage?

A.Brian Blessed and Lee Child.

B.Jayne Wile and Jennie Gardner.

C.Melanie Lodge and Jayne Wile.

D.Jennie Gardner and Melanie Lodge.

23、When you re grocery shopping, have you ever noticed that most grocery stores often don’t have windows and if they do they’re only at the front of the store? You might not pay much attention to the architectural features of the building you re grocery shopping in—you’re there to shop for food, not admire the layout! But that’s not just it!

“Grocery stores want to create a separate environment within the stores, where the outside world doesn’t exist,” explains Andrei Vasilescu, a shopping expert who has studied shopping behaviors and psychology. “You don’t get bothered by the rain, sunshine, or the fact that your kids are waiting in the parking lot. All your focus is on the shopping experience.” This technique also prevents shoppers from noticing that it’s getting dark out.

“Walls instead of windows can keep daylight out of grocery stores and help preserve the products, as some products can go bad faster in direct sunlight. Too much sun exposure can even cause packaging labels to fade. Furthermore, having windows in their stores would decrease the space available to showcase products,” says Margine Biswas, an architect with expertise in retail (零售) design. “Compared to windows, exterior (外部的) walls have stronger structural supports and can hold the heavier items on the shelves of those walls.”

Are some grocery stores going against this trend? In Germany, a study was conducted to test out stores with more natural light. A few stores had some bread products going bad rapidly due to the sunlight. They needed to replace the glass with specially designed panes (窗格) that help reduce the heat and radiation. This technique hasn’t caught on widely yet. A National Rewable Energy laboratory study in 2002 assessed the effects of natural light on shoppers—and it found that shoppers felt vastly more comfortable when there was more natural light around. They were also better able to identify both products and other people in the stores. It’s worth noting; though, that this study assessed natural light in all retail spaces, not just grocery stores. The challenges of adding more natural light to grocery stores remain.

【1】How does a grocery store without windows influence its shoppers?

A．It keeps them absorbed in shopping.

B．It helps to strengthen family bonds.

C．It prevents them from shopping relaxedly.

D．It misleads them to buy unnecessary goods.

【2】“What do Margine Biswas’s words mainly suggest about grocery stores?

A．Retail design is not complex.

B．Natural light is available.

C．Windows still have their value.

D．Windows barely benefit them.

【3】What is the author’s opinion on adding more natural light to grocery stores?

A．It can be carried out widely.

B．Shoppers will be discouraged by it.

C．It proves less challenging.

D．The stores should be cautious.

【4】What is the text mainly about?

A．Potential effects of natural light on grocery stores.

B．Reasons why most grocery stores have no windows.

C．Some tricks applied by a majority of grocery stores.

D．How consumers can better enjoy grocery shopping.

24、PANDA FAN XING CAN NOW BE SEEN!

You can only visit Ouwehands Zoo with an online ticket during a reserved period to prevent the park from getting too busy.
