45、nD. the popularity of the two newly released books CAs PhD research goes, Brian Wisenden was enviable, watching baby fish swimming swiftly through the clear waters in the Costa Rican tropical dry forest. By recording their growth and numbers, he hoped to look at their risks of being eaten. Instead,

46、he witnessed something odd. Many groups were increasing in numbers. In these groups, some were smaller than others, suggesting they werent siblings（兄弟姐妹）. Wisenden had accidentally discovered that the fish, called convict cichlids, adopt each others babies. Why would they do that, he wondered?In the

47、 human world, we think of adoption as a selfless act. But in nature, its presence is puzzling. Taking on the burden of bringing up babies with no genetic link would seem to reduce an animals chances of survival or at least provide no gain. Yet, adoption is surprisingly common in the world.Take the e

48、astern grey kangaroo. Between 2008 and 2013, Wisenden followed the fates of 326 baby kangaroos in the National Park in Victoria and recorded 11 cases of pouch swapping. The circumstances behind some of these adoptions arent known, but four were straight swaps and another four occurred after a mother

49、 had lost her own baby.How come? Before independence, baby kangaroos go through a period inside and outside their mothers pouch. Following out-of-pouch forays, mothers normally sniff their young before allowing them back in, but Wisendens team suspect that during an emergency they may skip the sniff

50、 test, allowing a vulnerable baby to quickly climb in before fleeing from danger. Once inside the wrong pouch, the young may fake the mothers odor, making them smell confusingly like her own progeny. So, poor baby recognition is the prime cause of “accidental” adoption.Some of natures adoptions are,

51、 actually, driven by young looking for better prospects. In burrower bugs, for example, females lay a nest of eggs close to those of unrelated bugs. Mother bugs tend their developing eggs before they hatch, then feed their babies nuts from weedy mint plants. Finding nuts is a competitive business, s

52、o not every mother bug gets her fair share. And if the delivery rate isnt up to scratch, clever young may abandon their mothers to join a better-fed group. Thats similar to behavior in several species of gull whose babies, if poorly fed, may leave home in search of better parents.The consequences of

53、 adoption following mistaken identity can be dire. The true babies of adopting mothers were abandoned. But it can have remarkable benefits, not just for adoptees but also for adoptive parents.62. It can be inferred from the passage that Wisendens findings are . A. too weird to be witnessed B. out of

54、 his own expectationsC. envied by his peer co-researchers D. a sound proof of his research object63. Which is NOT the reason for adoption in the animal kingdom?A. Baby animals looking for better parenting.B. Parents failure to recognize their own babies.C. Selfless adoption commonly seen in animal w

55、orld.D. Parents, inability to provide enough food.64. The underlined word “vulnerable” in the fourth paragraph means .A. weak and easily attacked B. naughty and easily hurtC. independent and well-fed D. fragile and poorly raised65. What will the author most probably talk about next?A. The benefits f

56、or baby animals. B. The benefits for adopters.C. The consequences of adoption. D. The consequences of wrong identity.DAt 88, I remain a competitive runner. The finish line of my life is drawing close, and I hope to reach it having given the best of myself along the way. Ive been training my body to

57、meet the demands of this final stretch. But, I wonder, should I have asked more of my mind?If I didnt exercise, I would release the hungry beasts that seek their elderly prey on couches, but not in the gym. The more I sweated, the more likely it was my doctor would continue to say, “Keep doing what

58、youre doing, and Ill see you next year.” My mind, on the other hand, seems less willing to give in to discipline. I have tried internet “brain games”, solving algebraic problems flashing past and changing the route of virtual trains to avoid crashes. But these never approach my determination to rema

59、in physically fit as I move deeper into old age.Despite having many friends in their 70s, 80s and 90s, Ive been far too slow to realize that how we respond to aging is a choice made in the mind, not in the gym. Some of my healthiest friends carry themselves as victims abused by time. Other friends,

60、many whose aching knees and hips are the least of their physical problems, find comfort in their ability to accept old age as just another stage of life to deal with. I would use the word “heroic” to describe the way they cope with aging.One such friend recently called from a hospital to tell me a s

61、udden brain disease had made him legally blind. He interrupted me as I began telling him how terribly sorry I was, “Bob, it could have been worse. I could have become deaf instead of blind.”Despite all the time I spend lifting weights and exercising, I realized I lack the strength to have said those

62、 words. It suddenly struck me Ive paid a price for being a “gym rat.” If there is one characteristic common to friends who are aging with a graceful acceptance of lifes attacks, it is contentment. Aging had to be more than what I saw in a mirror.But rather than undertaking a fundamental change in th

63、e way I face aging, I felt the place to begin would be to start small. A recent lunch provided a perfect example.Ive always found it extremely difficult to concentrate when Im in a noisy setting. At this lunch with a friend in an outdoor restaurant, a landscaper began blowing leaves from underneath

64、the bushes surrounding our table. Typically, after such a noisy interruption, I would have snapped, “Lets wait until hes finished!” then fallen silent. When the roar eventually faded, my roar would have drained (消耗) the conversation of any warmth. It troubled me that even a passing distraction could

65、 so easily take me from enjoying lunch with a good friend to a place that gave me no pleasure at all. I wanted this meal to be different.My years in gyms had taught me to shake off pains and other distractions, never permitting them to stop my workout or run. I decided to treat the noise this way. I

66、 continued talking with my friend, challenging myself to hear the noise, but to hold it at a distance. The discipline so familiar to me in the gym this time applied to my mind proved equally effective in the restaurant. It was as though I had taken my brain to a mental fitness center.Learning to ign

67、ore a leaf blowers roar hardly equips me to find contentment during my passage into ever-deeper old age. But I left the lunch feeling I had at least taken a small first step in changing behavior that stood in the way of that contentment.Could I employ that same discipline to accept with dignity the

68、inevitable decline awaiting me like the finish line? Hoping that contentment will guide me as I make my way along the path yet to be traveled.65. The authors question in Paragraph 1 implies that _.A. he has never believed the necessity of mind training B. he has realized he should mentally prepare f

There are variations between countries and agriculture data is challenging to collect. What is clear, however, is that most

74、small-scale farmers are women, making up 60-80 percent of farmers in developing countries. The FAO (Food and Agriculture Organization of the UN) estimates that between 43 percent to even 70 percent of agricultural labor in some countries comes from women.But women still dont have the same rights as

75、men when it comes to farming, making food production harder for women because of gender inequality. For female farmers, it is unquestionably a challenging job to engage in food production.In the first place, purchasing land, farming equipment and hiring labor can be expensive. These costs are even h

76、arder on women because many of them lack access to credit. In nearly 48 economies women face legal restrictions to having control of their own finances.Getting to the bank is hard too. Mobility for women in rural parts of developing countries is a big concern. Better transportation and infrastructur

77、e could help make access to credit more practicable for women. Credit and finance should be equal for everyone, especially women who are held back by gender restrictions.Sadly, women may run the world, but they do not own it. Women are virtually denied property rights. Traditional customs in place c

78、an pass down land through the male side of the family, leaving women out of land rights completely. Other times, women need permission from a male relative or husband to own land. It has been apparent that women are not as productive farmers as men and work longer hours in some countries like Indone

79、sia. This is largely due to a lack of education. When education is considered more valuable for men (and thus mainly given to men), women farmers are less informed about the best production methods, thus producing less yield in crops and becoming “less productive”. This can all be changed through pr

80、oviding education for women. Removing gender inequality can help feed 130 million people who are currently undernourished.Despite these barriers, women are definitely not leaving the “field”. In countries experiencing urban growth, men are migrating to urban areas for other jobs while women stay in

81、rural areas, taking on jobs in farming and agriculture. Healthier children, education, and investment into the community are all benefits that female farmers are shown to have on their communities.Lets close the gender gap and give women the tools they need to succeed. If women farmers in developing

82、 countries have the same rights and opportunities, they will be just as productive. With increasing population, and the need for better food security, supporting women in agriculture is something that cannot afford not to be invested in.Women running most small farmsWomen in developing countries (71
