Consequently, the development of larger brain sizes among the male guppy population allows for better chances of survival under high predation conditions.The team began its research in the southern Caribbean. They concentrated their observations on populations located in two independent rivers. In each, they collected male guppies living above and below the waterfalls. A small amount of predators lived in the waters above the waterfall, therefore the local guppy population had evolved (进化) under predation-poor conditions into a predation-poor population.On the other hand, below the waterfall, predators were found to be increasing, making environment dangerous. Scientists noticed that male guppies located above the waterfalls often displayed on average smaller brain sizes than males living under the waterfall.The next step was to find out if male guppies from high-predation population only had larger brains as a result of long evolutionary processes or a direct response to exposure (暴露) to risk during development. This question took the team away from the tropics and back to the laboratory, taking a sample group of guppies originating from high predation group. These were divided into two test populations. The first group was exposed to the sight and smell of a predator living in a nearby aquarium for five minutes at a time, five times a week. The other guppies served as a control group and lived in non-predatory places. The results showed that males exposed to predators have 21 per cent heavier brains than those of the control group.Male guppies are generally more colorful than females and thus more likely to be exposed to predation threats. The increase in intellect could offer males advantages such as the ability to detect and react to danger earlier, increasing their chances of survival.21.We learn from the passage that _.A. smarter fish have better chances of survivalB. guppies cant survive in high predator conditionsC. the size of guppies changes with the environmentD. larger brains only result from long evolutionary process22.This new research was done mainly by _.A. listing factsB. analyzing dataC. making comparisonsD. explaining reasons23.Male guppies are more easily attacked than females because of their _.A. appearanceB. behaviorC. life historyD. living environment24.Which of the following proverbs reflects the findings of the research?A. Pain past is pleasure.B. Great hopes make great man.C. While there is life, there is hope.D. Storms make trees take deeper roots.B Mother's Day is the occasion upon which children stop and say "thank you" to moms all over the world Homemade cards express gratitude for countless meals cooked， wounds dressed and hugs given Animal moms， on the other hand， never get any thanks But animal moms are also great moms You might be surprised at some of these momsOctopuses 章鱼The mother octopus lays about 50，000 eggs For about 300 days， she stays with the eggs， cleans them and protects them She does not leave to feed However， this animal mom dies as soon as the eggs are hatched 孵化Crocodiles 鳄鱼A crocodile mother puts a lot of time and effort into raising her babies She starts by building a nest， which she guards for over two months! When the eggs are ready to hatch， the young crocodiles call out to their mother， who digs them out and helps them hatch She then carries them in her mouth down to the water， where she will guard them for several more weeks or months until they learn to hunt on their ownBatsBats become moms by hanging head up in a cave， giving birth Catching the youngster before it can fall to the ground below， she puts it in a pouch 育儿袋 Bat moms may carry babies with them when feeding for the first few days As the little bats get bigger and heavier， moms help them hang on the wall of their caves and return often to feed them It continues for about three weeks， until the babies are grown up and able to fly on their ownKoalas 考拉The animal mom gives birth after a pregnancy 怀孕期 of only 35 days The hairless baby climbs into its mother's pouch and lives there for another five months When the little koala is between five and eight months old， it leaves the pouch for short periods of time but returns for safety Once it is too big to return to the pouch， it will climb onto its mother's back and ride there until it is about 12 months old25.A crocodile mother usually carries her baby to the water A. in her pouchB. on her backC. in her mouthD. by her tail26.A bat mom A. gives birth by lying in the nestB. gives birth by hanging in a caveC. leaves its babies in the pouch for monthsD. lets its babies live on their own after birth27.According to the passage， what can we know about the koala？A.

The 14-year-old has been playing since he was 3, but because hes home-schooled, he cant try out for the local team at Patriot High School in Prince William County, Virginia.“I cant play this half of the year and my friends are going to be playing five or six times a week, he said. “Theyre going to be getting better and stronger playing with kids that are good.Micah and his family-along with many other home-schooling families across Virginia-are hoping the Virginia General Assemble will approve a bill this year that would allow kids like him to try out for sports on public school athletic teams. The bill, called the “Tebow bill, is named after football player Tim Tebow, who was home-schooled but was allowed to play on a high school team before going to the University of Florida, where he led his team to two national championships.Many major statewide education organizations said the bill wouldnt be fair to public school students. Ken Tilley, the executive director of the Virginia High School League, said the bill would violate two of the leagues most long-standing standards for qualification: enrollment (注册入学) and academic standing.Home-school advocates argue that they are required by the law to document academic progress. But many opponents say students always have the option of attending public high school. That might be what Sydney Bowman, a 12-year-old from Luchetts, will do to keep wrestling, although she would prefer to continue to be taught at home. In her case, girls wrestling teams are rare enough that there arent many options other than public school.But Micah mom, Terri Fits, a former public school teacher, said that although they support the local schools and love to cheer on the teams, they like the flexibility of home-schooling.28.What kind of feeling is expressed in Paragraph 2?A.

I had the ability to add up, but my maths teacher didn't have much time for me because I couldn't write down how I got the answers. I hated things like English-I slightly had difficulty in reading.

I could see that the kids who went to high school had better toys than me so I made up my mind to do as well as I could, so that I could pass the exam and get into the best school. I worked very hard, and then I made it. I was the only one in the family who did, so my parents were so proud of me.I started delivering newspapers when my mother said I couldn't have an ice cream because we were too poor. When I went to the newsagent's (报纸杂志店)，the owner told me that there was no need for a delivery boy. I said that my mother would like her paper delivered. But he told me, “That's one person. I need 100.At last, I knocked on 150 doors. When the ice cream van(箱式货车)came around again, I had enough money to buy ice creams for my whole family.When I left school, I didn't use my business skills for fifteen years. I was in the Navy and then worked as a garage mechanic. It was always in my mind, though. When I was twenty nine, I was on a beach in the Channel Islands with my girlfriend and we decided to go back to the mainland and make money.
