27、Winter on the Tibetan Plateau in Asia is unfriendly to pikas (鼠兔). Its empty, windy highlands often decrease to -30° Celsius. It would seem like the perfect time for them to hibernate (冬眠) or stay warm by chewing grasses in their holes. That’s what North American pikas do.

But not the plateau pika. These creatures continue searching for food in winter. To save energy, plateau pikas drop their metabolism   (新陈代谢) by about 30 percent. Some also turn to eating an unusual food: yak poop (牦牛粪便) .

Cameras at four sites on the Tibetan Plateau captured the pikas’ winter routine. That footage showed that pikas often brave the cold to find food. “Clearly they’re doing something fancy with their metabolism that’s not hibernation,” says John Speakman, an expert who studies links between the environment and how an animal’s body works.

Speakman and his colleagues measured how much energy 156 individual pikas spent each day in summer and winter. The team also implanted 27 animals with temperature sensors. What they found surprised them. Many animals that don’t hibernate keep warm in winter by using more energy. But these pikas did the opposite. On average, in winter they used 29.7 percent less energy per day. They did this in part by cooling their bodies by a couple of degrees overnight. The animals also were less active than in summer.

Sites with yaks had more pikas. And those pikas were even less active than the others. That puzzled the researchers. But then, “we found a sort of half-eaten yak poop in one of the pika hole,” Speakman says. Eating poop can cause sickness. But yak poop could be an ideal meal for pikas with few options. It would greatly cut down how long pikas needed to spend out in the cold, Speakman says.

DNA from the animals’ stomach contents confirmed that this diet is common. Whether dining on poop has downsides remains to be seen. But clearly, not being too picky (挑剔) is a wise decision for pikas.

【1】What do we know about plateau pikas in winter according to the text?

A．They keep seeking food.

B．They choose to hibernate.

C．They have many food choices.

D．They stay warm by eating grass in holes.

【2】What surprised Speakman and his team?

A．Plateau Pikas don’t hibernate in winter.

B．Yak poop is an ideal food choice for pikas.

C．Animals use less energy when they hibernate.

D．Plateau pikas use less energy to keep warm in winter.

【3】What does the underlined word “downsides” in the last paragraph mean?

A．Purposes.

B．Disadvantages.

C．Conditions.

D．Burdens.

【4】What does this text mainly talk about?

A．Plateau pikas are not picky eaters.

B．Where there are yaks, there are more pikas.

C．Some pikas survive winter by eating yak poop.

D．Plateau pikas drop metabolism to conserve energy.

29、About ten men in every hundred suffer from color blindness in some way. Women are luckier; only about one in two hundred is affected in this matter. Perhaps, after all, it is safer to be driven by a woman!

There are different forms of color blindness. In some cases a man may not be able to see deep red. He may think that red, orange and yellow are all shadows of green. Sometimes a person cannot tell the difference between blue and green. In rare cases an unlucky man may see everything in shades of green － a strange world indeed.

Color blindness in human beings is a strange thing to explain. In a single eye there are millions of very small things called “cones”. These help us to see in a bright light and to tell difference between colors. There are also millions of “rods”, but these are used for seeing when it is near dark. They show us shape but no color.

Some insects have favorite colors. Mosquitoes prefer blue to yellow. A red light will not attract insects, but a blue lamp will. In a similar way human beings also have favorite colors. Yet we are lucky. With the aid of the cones in our eyes we can see many beautiful colors by day, and with the aid of the rods we can see shapes at night. One day we may even learn more about the invisible colors around us.

【1】The passage is mainly about _________.

A．color and its surprising effects.

B．women being luckier than men

C．danger caused by color blindness

D．some information on color blindness

【2】Why do some people say it is safer to be driven by women?

A．Women are more careful.

B．There are fewer color-blind women

C．Women are fonder of driving than men.

D．Women are weaker but quicker in thinking.

【3】Which of the statements about the color- blind is true?

A．Neither men nor women can see deep red.

B．All of them see everything in shades of green.

C．None of them can tell the difference between blue and green.

D．Not all of them have the same problem in recognizing color.

【4】We can attract and kill mosquitoes by using a ________.

A．red light

B．yellow light

C．blue light

D．green light

32、阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。

Tu Youyou was born in Zhejiang Province, China, on 30 December, 1930.She studied medicine at Peking University Health Science Centre. Later, she studied Chinese medicine for two and a half years with experts in the field from whom she gained a deep knowledge about traditional practices.

In 1969, Tu Youyou was chosen to establish a team to find a cure for malaria-i disease that killed millions of people every year. Across the world, scientists had been trying to find a cure. They tested more than 240,000 chemicals with no success. However, Tu Youyou had an idea that Chinese herbs might hold the secret. She and her team began using modern research methods to study these Chinese herbs one by one.

This was not an easy task. The reason why this was difficult was that the team had limited resources. They did not have enough staff, and the laboratory in which they worked had poor air quality. However, after hundreds of failed experiments, they eventually came across a promising chemical. It worked well in experiments on animals, but they had to know if it was safe for humans. Tu Youyou bravely volunteered to be the first human subject when they were ready to start testing and the rest of her team followed her. The test was a success. The medicine they discovered, artemisinin, has now become the world's most effective drug for fighting malaria.

Even though Tu Youyou is not interested in fame, she has become a scientist whose work is internationally known. In 2019, she was selected by the BBC as one of the most influential figures of science in the 20th Century along with Albert Einstein. Tu Youyou was known for her bravery in being a scientist during a difficult time for science in China, her ability to use old wisdom and new methods to achieve her goals and the fact that her work bridged the Eastern and Western worlds,saving millions of lives. Today Tu Youyou continues to conduct research despite her age. According to Tu Youyou, “From our research experience in discovering artemisinin, we learnt the wisdom' behind both Chinese and. Western medicine. There is great potential for future advances if these two kinds of wisdom can be fully integrated(结合),” she said.
