16、 insects air-traffic controllers. And new research shows bees prefer flowers that arent too flashy.Flowers give bees clues (提示) about how much food a plant can offer. Those clues can be in the color of petals (花瓣), in the type, in the smell or even in the electrical charge. All of these characterist

17、ics send signals to the bees, telling them whether to land or not, among which the color plays the most significant role. The insects keep track of the color of flowers that are especially rich in nectar. They then visit more flowers of that color.However, color cant guarantee bees a good meal. It m

18、ay change depending on the angle at which sunlight hits its petals. A yellow flower, for example, may look somewhat blue from one angle and red from another. Beverley Glover studies plants at the University of Cambridge in England. Glover and her colleagues showed that even when the color of petals

19、looks similar, bees behave differently in searching for nectar. They started to guess that the strength of petals iridescence (色彩斑斓) might be related to how bees find the petals.Glover and her colleagues tested their hypothesis (假设) in the lab. In their experiment, they found that bees felt confused

20、 sometimes when the petals were very iridescent. They also found that bees had no problem finding the flowers with more nectar when the petals were not very iridescent. The team shared its new findings in the March 21 Current Biology. “At first glance, it is very surprising because animals can usual

21、ly discover a more vivid signal more easily,” says Klaus Lunau, a biologist in Germany, who was not involved in the study.23. What can we know about the flight of bees?A. They usually fly in large groups.B. They usually fly without any purpose.C. They fly to very flashy flowers.D. They fly under the

24、gnals.D. Petals of different types make bees confused to find the right flower.CIn the UK, electric and other low-emission（低排放）cars, vans, and buses could be given special green plates to encourage more people to buy such cars, and promote awareness for “clean” cars.Strange as it may seem, there is

25、some reason to believe that something as small as this could make a big difference. Already, similar ideas have been put into effect in Norway, Canada, Latvia, and China, and the results have been encouraging.Elisabeth Costa, director of the Behavioural Insights Team, explains, “Simple changes based

26、 on behavioral science can have a big impact. Green plates would be more noticeable to road users, and this increased attraction can help normalise the idea of clean vehicles, highlighting（使突出）the changing social norms（规范）around vehicle ownership.” Actually, hybrids and electric cars accounted for 5

27、.5% of the cars sold in the UK in the first half of the year, compared to 4.2% for the same period in 2017.However, colored plates can only go so far. At the end of the day, you need strong, concrete measures if you want to support a market like electric cars. The UK already has generous subsidies（补

28、贴）for electric cars, but a study for the RAC Foundation found that the lack of reliable, easy-to-use charging stations is the main roadblock to people purchasing more electric cars. This was repeated by separate research from AA, the UKs largest motorist association, which found that although 1 in 2

29、 young drivers want electric cars, 8 out of 10 drivers feel that the lack of sufficient electrical chargers is the main reason not to buy an electric car.Yet this all shows that more and more people are nearing a tipping point where they are willing to buy electric cars. And a small PR stunt（噱头）, th

30、e “coolness factor” of the colored plates could end up making a difference. Similarly, having red plates for the more polluting cars might also play a role. A spokesman for the Environmental Transport Association said, “While green number plates will be positive PR for low-emission car makers and ea

31、rly adopters of the technology alike, to be truly effective any such measures will need to at the same time shame the drivers of the most polluting vehicles.”27. Why does the UK give green license plates to cars?A. To promote car sales.B. To beautify the environment in the UK.C. To separate “clean”

32、cars from polluting cars.D. To inspire people to buy low-emission vehicles.28. What does the underlined sentence “colored plates can only go so far” mean?A. The results of giving colored plates are discouraging.B. The measures of giving colored plates will be at an end.C. Giving colored plates has a

33、 limited impact on promoting “clean” cars.D. Giving colored plates will be replaced by strong, concrete measures.29. Why do most drivers choose not to buy an electric car?A. Subsidies for electric cars are not attractive.B. Charging stations are not readily available.C. They arent fond of the green

34、color.D. Electric cars are unaffordable to them.30. What did the spokesman for the Environmental Transport Association focus on?A. Shaming the drivers of polluting cars into buying “clean” cars. B. Continuing the use of green number plates.C. Replacing green plates with red ones.D. Banning people fr

35、om buying polluting cars.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。Some kids can know what they want to do when they grow up even by the time they reach kindergarten. 31 If your teen has no idea what he wants to do after high school, help him.
