26、Human rubbish can be a cockatoo’s treasure. In Sydney, the birds have learned how to open dustbins and throw rubbish around in the streets as they hunt for leftovers. People are now fighting back.
When cockatoos learn how to open dustbin lids, people change their behavior, using things like bricks to weigh down lids (盖子), to protect their trash from being thrown about. That’s usually a low-level protection and then the cockatoos figure out how to defeat that. That’s when people strengthen their efforts, and the cycle continues.
Tricks such as attempting to scare the parrots off with rubber snakes don’t work very well. Nor does blocking access with heavy objects such as bricks; cockatoos use force to push them off. Hanging weights from the front of the lid or placing items such as sneakers and sticks through a bin’s back handles work better. Researchers didn’t see any birds get inside bins with these higher levels of protection.
The findings suggest an arms race, but the missing piece is how the birds will respond as people try new ways of blocking bins. Some survey responses suggest that the parrots are learning.
Cockatoos may stay away from strategies that take too long to beat. Bricks, for instance, are easy to quickly push off a bin; breaking sticks placed through the bin’s back handle could take more time. Perhaps if enough people in a neighborhood adopt a highly effective method, Clark, a behavioral ecologist says, the cockatoos may not find it worth it to stop by.
【1】Why are bricks used in the battle against cockatoos?
A．To increase the weight of the lids.
B．To hit the birds when necessary.
C．To reduce the size of the rubbish.
D．To keep the dustbin balanced.
【2】Which seems the best way to win the battle presently?
A．Using rubber snakes to frighten the parrots.
B．Blocking access with objects like bricks.
C．Hanging weights from the back of the lid.
D．Placing sticks through a bin’s back handles.
【3】What can we learn about cockatoos from the text?
A．They are in danger of extinction.
B．They are the strongest parrots.
C．They are clever and adaptable.
D．They are good at finding treasure.
【4】What does Clark’s statement in the last paragraph suggest?
A．People are defeated by cockatoos in the battle.
B．People should work together to win the battle.
C．People and cockatoos should live in harmony.
D．People had better adopt all the cockatoos.
27、An increase in students applying to study economics at university is being attributed to (归因于) the global economic crisis awakening a public thirst for knowledge about how the financial system works.
Applications for degree courses beginning this autumn were up by 15% this January, according to UCAS, the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service. A spokesman for the Royal Economic Society said applications to do economics at A-level were also up.
Professor John Beath, the president of the society and a leading lecturer at St Andrews University, said his first-year lectures --- which are open to students from all departments --- were drawing crowds of 400, rather than the usual 250.
“There are a large number of students who are not economics majors (专业), who would like to learn something about it. One of the things I have done this year is to relate my teaching to contemporary events in a way that one hasn’t traditionally done.” He said.
University applications rose by 7% last year, but there were rises above average in several subjects. Nursing saw a 15% jump, with people’s renewed interest in careers in the pubic sector (部门), which are seen as more secure in economic crisis.
A recent study showed almost two thirds of parents believed schools should do more to teach pupils about financial matters, and almost half said their children had asked them what was going on, although a minority (少数) of parents felt they did not understand it themselves well enough to explain.
Zack Hocking, the head of Child Trust Funds, said, “It’s possible that one good thing to arise from the downturn (低迷) will be a generation that’s financially wiser and better equipped to manage their money through times of economic uncertainty.”
【1】Professor John Beath’s lectures are ______.
A．given in a traditional way
B．warmly received by economics
C．connected with the present situation
D．open to both students and their parents
【2】Careers in the public sector are more attractive because of their _______.
A．higher pay
B．greater stability (稳定)
C．fewer applications
D．better reputation (名声)
【3】In the opinion of most parents, ______.
A．economics should be the focus of school teaching
B．more students should be admitted to universities
C．children should solve financial problems themselves
D．the teaching of financial matters should be strengthened
【4】What’s the main idea of the text?
A．Economics is attracting an increasing number of students.
B．Universities have received more applications.
C．College students benefit a lot from economic uncertainty.
D．Parents are concerned with children’s subject selection.

29、As an experienced photojournalist in Nashville, Tennessee, I was hired by USA Today newspaper to photograph a spinal bifida (脊柱畸形) corrective surgical procedure. It was to be performed on a twenty-one week old fetus（胎儿）in uterus（子宫）at Vanderbilt University Medical Center. At that time, in 1999, twenty-one weeks in uterus was the earliest that the surgical team would consider for surgery. The worst possible outcome would be that the surgery would cause premature delivery, and no child born earlier than twenty-three weeks had survived.
The tension could be felt in the operating room as the surgery began. A typical C-section cut was made to access the uterus, which was then lifted out and laid at the junction of the mother’s thighs（大腿）. The entire procedure would take place within the uterus, and no part of the child was to breach the surgical opening. During the procedure, the position of the fetus was adjusted by gently moving the outside of the uterus. The entire surgical procedure on the child was completed in one hour and thirteen minutes. When it was over, the surgical team breathed a sigh of relief, as did I.
As a doctor asked me what speed of film I was using, out of the corner of my eye I saw the uterus shake, but no one’s hands were near it. It was shaking from within. Suddenly, an entire arm thrust out of the opening, then pulled back until just a little hand was showing. The doctor reached over and lifted the hand, which reacted and squeezed the doctor’s finger. As if testing for strength, the doctor shook the tiny fist. Samuel held firm. I took the picture! Wow! It happened so fast that the nurse standing next to me asked, “What happened?” “The child reached out,” I said. “Oh. They do that all the time,” she responded.
The surgical opening to the uterus was closed and the uterus was then put back into the mother and the C-section opening was closed.
It was ten days before I knew if the picture was even in focus(对焦). To ensure no digital manipulation(篡改) of images before they see them, USA Today requires that film be submitted unprocessed. When the photo editor finally phoned me he said, “It’s the most incredible picture I’ve ever seen.”
【1】It can be inferred from the passage that __________.
A. it’s a very common surgery nowadays.
B. there was little risk in the operation.
C. the writer was really a terrific photographer.
D. the baby’s little hand reacted the doctor’s finger.
【2】In 1999, people believed that it was ________.
A. possible for a fetus 21 weeks born to survive
B. likely for a fetus born 21 weeks to become abnormal
C. right time for a fetus born 21 weeks to receive an operation
D. risky for a fetus 21 weeks in uterus to receive an operation
【3】From the second paragraph, we can see that the surgery was ________.
A. challenging but successful
B. demanding and unsuccessful
C. simple and short
D. long-lasting and difficult
【4】The underlined “It” in paragraph 3 refers to________.
A. the uterus B. the arm of the fetus
C. the picture D. the head of the fetus
