26、Bumblebees(大黄蜂) are clever: when pollen(花粉) is short and plants near the nest are not yet flowering, they have learned to force them to bloom. Research published on Thursday in Science shows that the insects puncture the plants’ leaves, which causes them to flower about 30 days earlier than they otherwise would. How the technique developed and why the plants react by blooming remain unclear.

Consuelo De Moraes, a chemical ecologist at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, says she and her teammates were observing one kind of bumblebee in an unrelated experiment when they noticed the insects were damaging plant leaves and wondered why. “At first we thought they might be feeding on the plants,” she says. And because previous research had shown stress could cause plants to flower, they also wondered whether the bees might be creating blooms on purpose.

To find out, the team placed bumblebees together with tomato plants in cages. The bees soon cut several holes in the leaves of each plant. As a test, the researchers tried to copy the bumblebee damage in additional plants with a knife. Both sets of plants with injured leaves bloomed faster, but the ones punctured by the bees flowered weeks earlier, suggesting that chemicals in the insects’ saliva(唾液) may be involved as well.

Next, the researchers moved out of the laboratory to see whether bumblebees would continue to damage nonflowering plants near their nest even if blooming plants were available farther away. They did so. The findings suggest the bees’ behavior is an adaptation that improves food-hunting efficiency(效率).

In the future, scientists could test how the behavior may have developed and how widespread it is among other wild bumblebees, as well as what is happening in plants after a bee bite. Understanding those questions could help us better face the climate change.

【1】What does the underlined word “puncture” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?

A．bite

B．touch

C．kiss

D．eat

【2】What inspired Consuelo and her team to do the present research?

A．The stress causing plants to flower.

B．The difference in plants’ flowering time.

C．The bumblebees’ feeding on the plants.

D．The bumblebees’ damaging plants’ leaves.

【3】Why did the researchers copy what the bumblebees did?

A．To prove a knife cut can work as a bee bite.

B．To figure out what helps plants flower faster

C．To find out why bumblebees damage plants.

D．To show bumblebees’ saliva helps plants bloom.

【4】What have the researchers made clear?

A．What happens in plants after a bee bite.

B．How bumblebees have learned the technique.

C．Whether bumblebees are clever in finding food.

D．Whether all the bumblebees have learned the skill.

27、   Siblings refer to one's brothers and sisters. We're attached to siblings as adults far longer than we are as children. Our sibling relationships, in fact, are the longest-lasting family ties we have.

“Paul, my younger brother, and I, kind of annoyed each other when we were kids,” said Anna, an interviewee, “But as adults, we've always had each other's back, especially when dealing with our mother's health crisis. Paul is the first person I want to talk to when something worries me.”

There's probably a biological explanation for the close bond of the sibling relationship. Siblings share half their genes, which biologists say should be motivation enough for each other's devotion.

One thing that can weaken closeness in adulthood is a parent who played favorites in childhood; this sense of hatred can last a lifetime. The simple concept of parental favoritism was enough to shake their relationship.

“What Paul and I are pretty sure is our parents treated us the same when we were growing up. Yet we're very different people,” Anna said, “Paul is outgoing while I'm shy. Paul is an amateur pianist while I can't read music or carry a tune. In families with more than one child, every sibling seems to get a label in contrast to every other sibling.”

The very presence of siblings in the household can be an education. When a new baby is born, the older sibling gains social skills by interacting with the younger, and the younger gains cognitive (认知) skills by imitating the older. They learn from the friction between them, too, as they fight for their parents' attention, Mild conflict between brothers and sisters teaches them how to interact with friends and co-workers for the rest of their lives.

It's so sad when things between siblings fall apart, which happens when aging parents need care or die—old feelings of contradiction and jealousy erupt all over again. Many families get through their parents' illnesses just fine, establishing networks where the workload is divided pretty much equally. But about 40 percent of the time there is a single primary caregiver who feels like she is not getting any help from her brothers and sisters, which can lead to serious conflicts.

Throughout adulthood, the sibling relationship “is powerful and unchanged”, said Jane Mersky Leder, author of the new e-book The Sibling Connection. Whether we are close to our siblings or distant, she writes, they remain our brothers and sisters for better or for worse.

So remember the immortal (永恒的) words of folksinger Loudon Wainwright Ⅲ, in a song called Thanksgiving. “On this brilliant occasion, this special family dinner, if I argue with a loved one, please make me...”

【1】What can probably encourage hatred among siblings?

A.The aging of their Mom and Dad. B.The difference between their hobbies.

C.The conflict in their daily lives. D.The unequal treatment from their parents.

【2】The underlined word “friction” in Para. 6 is closest in meaning to ___________.

A.mild conflict B.close relationship C.active interaction D.cognitive imitation

【3】One effective way to avoid conflict when looking after sick parents is to _________.

A.employ an experienced caregiver B.take on reasonable burdens

C.equally divide the fortune D.send them straight to hospital

【4】The writer ends the passage with a song Thanksgiving to indicate that __________.

A.it's emotionally acceptable to quarrel with siblings

B.we should be grateful to have brothers or sisters in life

C.Thanksgiving Day is a wonderful occasion

D.Thanksgiving Day is a time for brothers to get together
