77、tists constructed experiments that challenged bees to pull strings in order to access rewards of nectar (花蜜)The scientists hoped their study would throw light on a bigger picture: how social learning spreads through a population.In the study, Lars Chittka from Queen Mary University of London and his

78、 team made artificial flowers and filled them with artificial nectar made of sugar water. They put the flowers under a clear type of plastic and attached a string.Then they added bees. While most of the insects failed to reach the nectar, a few eventually figured out how to access it, by pulling the

79、 string.The team discovered that they could greatly increase the success rate of the bees by first placing them inside a transparent (透明的) box where they could observe an experienced bee pull the string. Then, when the boxed bees were released, they often knew what to do and successfully pulled the

80、string to obtain nectar.Next, the researchers added a bee that was experienced in string pulling to each of three new groups that had never seen the experiment before. Within a short time, about half of all those bees were soon pulling the strings. That result suggests the learned behavior could spr

81、ead from bee to bee, similar to the way cultural ideas spread in other animals, including people.The experiment suggests that social learning may be more widespread in the animal kingdom than people previously thought.语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。英国科学家通过实验发现，蜜蜂可以从同伴那里学会新技能。8What happened after the bee pulled the s

83、 flew directly to the rewards.DThey flew back to the box.解析：选B细节理解题。根据倒数第三段中的“when the boxed bees were released, they often knew what to do and successfully pulled the string to obtain nectar”可知，把蜜蜂从透明盒子里放出来之后，它们就会模仿那只有经验的蜜蜂拉绳取蜜。10Why was an experienced bee added to new bee groups?ATo reduce the dif

84、ficulty of the experiment.BTo watch the process of string pulling.CTo carry the experiment further.DTo keep the bees interest.解析：选C推理判断题。根据倒数第三段中的“placing them inside a transparent (透明的) box where they could observe an experienced bee pull the string”和倒数第二段中的“each of three new groups that had never

85、seen the experiment before”可知，在后一个实验中，蜜蜂面临的挑战升级，这样做的目的就是使研究更深入。11What does the study find?AMost animals create their own cultures.BStrings are particularly attractive to bees.CAnimals may have good social learning ability.DBumblebees may be smarter than other bee species.解析：选C细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“the lea

I do worry that it makes them think its OK to use electronics at the dinner table in the future.”Dr. Gary Small, director of the Longevity Center at the University of California, Los Angeles says that the brain is highly sensi

90、tive to stimuli (刺激物), like iPads and smartphone screens, and if people spend too much time on one technology, and less time interacting (互动) with people like parents at the dinner table, that could prevent the development of certain communication skills.“Conversations with each other are the way ch

91、ildren learn to have conversations with themselves, and learn how to be alone，” said Sherry Turkle, a professor of science, technology and society at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. She fears that children who do not learn real interactions, which often have imperfections, will come to kn

92、ow a world where perfect, shiny screens give them a false sense of intimacy (亲密) without risk. However, they need to be able to gather themselves and know who they are.

128、the local agriculture.DTo protect rare birds and animals.解析：选B推理判断题。根据第一段中的“buying abandoned agricultural land and reforesting it .birds and other creatures”和第三段中的“the pollution horrified them”可以推知，Malhotra夫妇买下农民废弃的土地是为了解决当地的污染问题，保护环境。5What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 2 probably ref

Schreiber and Sim were particularly critical of watches and trackers that present wearers with instantly

Exercising becomes mindless, which is the goal of addiction.”Numbers pave the road to obsession. “When it comes to exercise, everything can be measured，” Sim says. “How many calories yo

136、u burn; how many laps you run; how fast you go. And if you went, say, two miles yesterday, you dont want to go less than that today.

His biggest concern was that he might slow down, so he constantly checked his speed by moving all the time. “He would drive his parents crazy. When they visited Minneapolis for their evaluation, he kept the entire hotel awake at night. They were

144、earchers from Dartmouth College found that people who use devices like smartphones for reading purposes may focus more on details rather than the bigger picture.

The fracture (骨折) looked worse, not better.A good friend of mine criticized me for being so busy that I was getting in my own way of healing. “Do you want to heal or not？” she asked me. “Of course I

185、 want to heal，” I replied. She arched her eyebrows. “Really？” She had a point.So I cut back on my busyness and I finally healed. But I didnt learn my lesson. As soon as I got clearance from my doctor, I got busy again. Six months later, I was still experiencing some heel pain, and was exhausted.Then

186、 July happened. Death in the family. Some expected and unexpected travel and my busyness began to take a different form. Instead of work busyness, it was personal busyness. And I realized something. When I had to pull back from work, the world didnt end. For the first time in my life, I dont want to

187、 look at my calendar and see it completely booked. I want to keep some of that time for me, to rest, recharge, and enjoy my life.I was talking to a friend yesterday complaining about an upcoming 13hour day filled with meetings. Her response? “Thats a typical day for me.” I looked at her and I wanted

188、 to say, “Im sorry. Thats awful.” But then I realized that she much like me wore her busyness as a badge of pride.

They shared some stories about rudenes

194、s and others about funny circumstances.

Next thing you know, you feel pressure in your throat, your eyes are watering, and you have tears running down your cheeks.Why do people cry when they are emotional? What are tears? Scientists are working hard to find the answers to these questi

205、ons.Ad Vingerhoets is a professor of psychology at Tilburg University, in the Netherlands. He is one of the few scientists in the world who has studied crying.According to Vingerhoets, there are three types of tears. Basal (基础的) tears are the first type. They act as a protective barrier between the

206、eye and the rest of the world. Next are reflex (反射作用的) tears. They wash your eyes clean when something gets in them. Finally, there are emotional tears. “These are released in response to emotional states，” explains Vingerhoets.“Especially when we feel helplessness.”Scientists believe that crying ha

207、s something to do with how humans developed and learned to depend on each other.“Humans are very complex social creatures，”says Lauren Bylsma, a professor at the University of Pittsburgh, in Pennsylvania. “It seems that tears serve to draw help and support from others.”She says another reason we wee

208、p is that humans have the longest developmental period of almost any animal. It takes a long time to grow up.Vingerhoets agrees. “I think that the reason humans cry emotional tears has to do with our prolonged (延长的) childhood，” he says.“Thats the time when we are still dependent on adults for love a

209、nd protection and care. The major advantage of tears is that you can target them at a specific person.”Vingerhoets says this ability to target someone could have come in handy in prehistoric times, when humans were living among dangerous animals. Loud crying could attract predators (捕食者). Tears were

210、 a safer way to get attention. “In this case, it is better to use a silent signal to ask for help，” he says. Vingerhoets and Bylsma do frequent studies to better understand why humans cry. According to Bylsma, there is still much more to discover. “Its surprising，” she says, “how much we still dont

211、know.”12What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 1 refer to?AWeeping tears. BMissing a friend.CWatching movies. DEscaping pressure.解析：选A代词指代题。第一段描述了人们受情绪影响而流眼泪的过程。画线词指代段末的“have tears running down your cheeks”，即流眼泪。13What is the function of basal tears?ATo clean the eye. BTo draw support.CTo s

212、how sadness. DTo protect the eye.解析：选D细节理解题。由第四段中的“Basal (基础的) tears are the first type.

213、mans developed mind.DHumans close relationship.解析：选B细节理解题。由倒数第二段中的“the reason humans cry emotional tears has to do with our prolonged (延长的) childhood”可知，该科学家认为，人类会流情绪化的眼泪与人类漫长的童年时期有关。在孩童时代，孩子们渐渐学会利用眼泪博取成年人的同情进而获得关爱和帮助。15In prehistoric times, humans were more likely to _.Acry alone Bcry loudlyCcry si

214、lently Dcry together解析：选C推理判断题。由最后一段中的“in prehistoric times . Loud crying could attract predators (捕食者). Tears were a safer way to get attention .it is better to use a silent signal to ask for help”可推断，在史前时代，人类为了避免招来捕食的动物，不敢大声哭，而是默默流泪，从而引起他人的关注并获得帮助。.阅读七选五Cant do a pullup? Its easy!Pullups seem like

Im going to be speaking to you guys today about “pink tax”， otherwise known as gender tax. What is gender tax?

260、 Gender tax is basically the idea that women have to pay more for certain products because theyre marketed at women and not men.Now you might be thinking, “How is this possible？” You may think if women across the globe realised that they were being charged more than men, they would be angry and they

261、 wouldnt buy the products. Unfortunately, no! Gender tax has sneaked (溜) into many everyday products that women and men arent even aware of! We might be familiar with the classic examples of womens deodorants (除臭剂) or razors costing more than mens, but have you ever thought about something as simple

262、 as a plain Tshirt or a yoghurt?Since her teens, Muriel Vega, now 29, of Atlanta, has bought mens razors and shaving cream. Its partly a costsaving strategy passed down from her mother, but shes also found that mens razors work better than womens.A report by the New York City Department of Consumer

263、Affairs found on average that products geared (适合) towards women cost more than similar products geared towards men 42 percent of the time. But it doesnt just stop there. Even children are affected by gender tax. In the same report, they found that between two similar scooters (踏板车) from the same co

264、mpany one was targeted at girls and one was targeted at boys the one that was targeted at girls cost 16 more than that one targeted at boys. So girls and boys, men and women, people of all ages are affected by pink tax or gender tax.So, what can we take from all of this? Well, I think that the very

265、first important step is to be aware of gender tax, to be aware of the products were buying and to question whether one product is more expensive because its for a woman or less expensive because its for a man. You can help to raise awareness by sharing this video with all your family and friends.语篇解
