19、r diet in the wild consists mostly of nuts, seeds, fruits, and leafy matter.At home, African greys need plenty of toys that challenge their intelligence, such as food searching and puzzle toys.

25、alth. However, no one has actually proved that fever is dangerous. This fact attracted the attention of Matthew J. Kluger. Imagining that fever might not be as harmful as it had been supposed, Kluger set up a series of experiments with lizards (蜥蜴). What Kluger and his team did in their first experi

26、ment was simple. They put some lizards in a sand-box, one end of which was heated to 44C, while the other was at a room temperature. It was found that the lizards moved from one part of the box to the other in order to keep a constant temperature of about 38C. Having shown that normal lizards regula

27、te (调节) their own temperature, Kluger, in a second experiment, then set out to show that lizards, like most other animals, develop fever when infected (感染). This was done by making lizards infected with bacteria (细菌) that were known to cause disease. As the team expected, the infected lizards remain

28、ed longer in the heated part of the box, until they had raised their body temperatures to two or three degrees above normal. In other words, the sick lizards gave themselves fever. In a third experiment, the team observed the effect of temperature on the survival of the lizards. One group of infecte

29、d lizards was given a fever-suppressing (退烧) drug. The other group was given no drug and ran a fever, that is to say, they kept a higher temperature for four or five days before seeking a cooler environment. The results were impressive. Of those which raised their body temperature, all but one remai

30、ned alive. Of those given the fever-suppressing drug, more than half died. Similar results have since been produced in other animals. For example, infected fish swim to warmer water, and will die if not allowed to do so. An important conclusion can be drawn from these experiments. As Kluger points o

31、ut, lizards have been on earth for hundreds of millions of years. It is reasonable to suppose that a response that is so old has been kept by nature for some purpose. It would appear, therefore, that fever does not make disease worse. Rather it is part of the mechanism (机能) by which infection is con

32、trolled. 32. In his experiments, Kluger was hoping to prove that fever _. A. is not harmful to lizards B. is necessary for both humans and animalsC. is not necessarily badD. has the same effect on humans and animals 33. In the third experiment, the lizards given a fever-suppressing drug died because

33、 _. A. they had no more fever that they needed B. they were normal ones and had no feverC. the drug had no effect on sick lizards D. the drug made their body temperature too low 34. How would you understand the underlined words “ a response ” in the last paragraph? A. Recovery from disease B. Natura

34、l defense in the body against disease.C. Cause of disease. D. Relationship between living things and nature. 35. Which of the following is the best summary of this article? A. Lizards are most suitable for experiments on fever. B. Fever may play an important part in curing disease. C. Fever helps li

35、zards to get rid of infection. D. Lizards and humans are not as different as people supposed. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Suppose you were promised $1,440 each day that comes to $525,600 a year.
