21、People use color to express their feelings and describe their world. Many color-related phrases are a common part of our speech. Let’s see if we can figure out where they originated.

Black sheep of the family

The phrase refers to a member of a family or a group who is in disgrace (丢脸). It probably comes from the days when, in a group of sheep, the black ones were worth less than the white ones at market because their wool could not be dyed (染色) into different colors.

Green with envy

When your friend shows up with the hottest new video game in town, you might feel this way. Writers such as Shakespeare used the color green to represent envy. Greeks thought when a person was ill or envy, his or her body produced too much bile(胆汁) , giving his or her skin a greenish color.

Royal purple

Purple is a fairly popular color. It was once the most expensive dye in the world. The process of collecting the dye and processing it was long and complex. The resulting purple-colored cloth was costly, and only the richest people could afford to buy it.

True blue

Is your best friend “true blue”? No, this doesn’t mean that his hair is blue, but that he is honest, faithful, and reliable. Back when all color dyes came from natural sources, such as berries and leaves, blue was the most difficult color to produce and often faded quickly. Finally, during the Middle Ages, an English town became famous for a nice blue dye that didn’t fade after just a few washings.

【1】What color was the symbol of wealth?

A．Black.

B．Green.

C．Blue.

D．Purple.

【2】Which phrase do you use to describe someone who is jealous?

A．Black sheep of the family.

【3】What is the author’s purpose in writing this text?

23、“Lions and leopards, in particular, are ambush predators(捕食者). They often rely on the surprise to take down their prey.” says University of New South Wales conservation biologist Neil Jordan. “Farm animal losses can do serious damage to some farmers, and their killing of predators in response to that is a major cause of population decrease in the ambush predators.”

But what if there were a simple thing farmers could do to cut their losses? “The idea came about of painting eyes on the backsides of cows to tick lions and leopards into thinking they’ve been seen by their would-be prey. And once seen, they often abandon the hunt.”

Nature inspired this visionary solution. Probably the most famous example is on butterflies. They have eyespots in their wings, and these prevent predators such as birds from attacking them. Even humans are affected by eyespots: one study found that people are less likely to steal bikes when an image of watchful eyes is on display near bike racks.

But despite their usefulness, eyespots don’t occur naturally in mammals. To make up for this, the scientists/cow-butt artists got to work. “I can guarantee the cows didn’t enjoy the experience. I mean, it didn’t hurt them at all, but gathering those cows up in the morning for their artificial-eye treatment probably wasn’t the most exciting thing for them.”

Over the four-year experiment, the researchers found that ambush predators killed none of the hundreds of cows with eyespots on their backside. But the study also showed that, while less effective, simply painting cross marks on the cows also works. So perhaps any kind of novel marking can frighten a hunting predator. Farmers can potentially paint their cattle with artificial eyespots or cross marks. But we recommend the eyespots because that was the best result. A little artistic license could go a long way to safeguard both farm animals and predators at risk of extinction.

【1】What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 1 refers to?

A．The killing of predators.

B．The population decrease.

C．The damage to the farmers.

D．The surprise to attack cows.

【2】What is the example of butterflies in paragraph 3 intended to prove?

A．Why birds avoid the insects with eyespots.

B．Why the bikes with watchful eyes are safer.

C．Eyespots came from the adaptation to nature.

D．Scientists got the inspiration from nature.

【3】What can we learn about artificial-eye treatment from the last paragraph?

A．It leads to the extinction of predators.

B．Only time will tell whether it woks or not.

C．Cross marks could work much better than eyespots.

D．It would be a win-win for farm animals and predators.

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

A．Farmers mark their cattle with eyespots

B．Cows with eye images keep off predators

C．Cows enjoy having artificial-eye treatment

D．Farmers kill predators to protect their animals

24、   About IVHQ

At International Volunteer HQ, we bring people from all walks of life together to make a difference on the adventure of a lifetime. Established in 2007, we have grown to become the world’s leading volunteer travel company, working in over 50 destinations around the world and placing thousands of volunteers abroad every year.

We’re focused on providing affordable volunteer travel experiences that are responsible, safe and high quality. Our programs heighten global awareness and cultural understanding through the skills and expertise taken by volunteers to their host communities, and through the experiences and lessons that volunteers take back to their own countries and cultures.

How IVHQ Works

IVHQ provides affordable volunteer programs by partnering with organizations based in each of our program countries. We believe this is the best approach to international volunteering.

First, local organizations are in the best position to see where volunteers are genuinely needed. The staff in these organizations are locals, they have been raised in the area and know it inside and out.

Second, partnering with local organizations reduces the costs associated with hosting volunteers, making programs more affordable. This means more people are enabled to volunteer and that enables greater social outcomes to be achieved.

Why Volunteer Abroad with IVHQ

Having supported thousands of people to volunteer abroad since 2007, IVHQ is proud to be the most popular volunteer travel organization for international volunteers. One of the major strengths of IVHQ is our careful selection process in choosing our partner organizations and the high quality volunteer programs that we offer through these partners. Every program that IVHQ offers has been personally inspected by IVHQ. We have experienced the programs first-hand, we have assessed the local teams and we have provided comprehensive IVHQ training to all of our local teams.

26、Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.

Would a person born blind, who has learned to distinguish objects by touch, be able to recognize them purely by sight if he regained the ability to see? The question, known as Molyneux’s problem, is about whether the human mind has a built-in concept of shapes that is so innate(天生的) that such a blind person could immediately recognize an object with restored vision. The alternative is that the concepts of shapes are not innate but have to be learned by exploring an object through sight, touch and other senses.

After their attempt to test it in blind children failed, Lars Chittka of Queen Mary University of London and his colleagues have taken another attempt at finding an answer, this time using another species. To test whether bumblebees can form an internal representation of objects, they first trained the insects to distinguish globes from cubes using a sugar reward. The bees were trained in the light, where they could see but not touch the objects. Then they were tested in the dark, where they could touch but not see the globes or cubes. The researchers found that the bumblebees spent more time in contact with the shape they had been trained to associate with the sugar reward, even though they had to rely on touch rather than sight to distinguish the objects.

The researchers also did the reverse test with untrained bumblebees, first teaching them with rewards in the dark and then testing them in the light. Again, the bees were able to recognize the shape associated with the sugar reward, though they had to rely on sight rather than touch in the test. In short, bees have solved Molyneux's problem because the fact suggests that they can picture object features and access them through sight or touch.

However, some experts express their warnings. Jonathan Birch, a philosopher of science, cautions that the bees may have had prior experience associating visual and tactile(触觉的) information about straight edges and curved surfaces in the context of their nests, so it is not possible to eliminate the possibility that some of the cross-sensory concept is learned rather than innate.
