20、slands.The appearance of the stripes is different from one zebra to the next.There have been four main theories about the reasons why zebras developed stripes.The first theory is to avoid attacks by meat-eating animals.Another is that zebras have an easier time recognizing other zebras.a third idea

21、is thermoregulation,which is the ability of a creature to control its body temperature,even when the surrounding temperature is different.The fourth theory is to prevent attacks by biting flies.Only the last stands up,Caro said.Most biologists involved in research on mammal coloration accept that th

22、is is the reason why zebras have stripes.University of Bristol biologist Martin How worked with Caro on the study.He said stripes may confuse flies when they get too close to zebras.African horse flies carry diseases,such as trypanosomiasis.The sickness can cause weakness and be deadly.“In addition

35、 was aware of what gave this fruit its unique smell,so a team of researchers from Singapore decided to take a look at its genome(基因组)and find out,Durian is well-known throughout Southeast Asia as the king of fruits,mostly because of its awful appearance and smell.However,the origin of this unpleasan

36、t smell was unknown,so researchers decided to map the genome of the fruit,and find the gene that controlled it.A group of genes,volatile sulfur compounds(含硫化合物),became very active in the fruit,and they were found responsible for resulting in the unpleasant smell.The fruit confuses everyone with a su

37、lfuric smell,like rotten onions and ingredients.The smell lasts long,mostly because the fruit contains more volatile sulfur compounds.Other species usually benefit from two gene copies at most,but durian has four,leading to the striking smell.However,this smell might be an advantage for durian in th

38、e wild.Although we find it unpleasant,many animals might be attracted by it.If they eat the fruit,then they can easily spread its seeds everywhere,thus contributing to the distribution of the species.The mapping of the durian genome also showed some other information on the species.First of all,the

39、fruit has an impressive number of genes,namely 46,000.Also,with the help of these genes,they saw how it evolved,and discovered it was related to the cacao tree.All the other discoveries have been published in the journal Nature Genetics.Despite the striking smell,many people actually enjoy eating th

40、e fruit.However,not all durian species are edible,and some of them may even cause damage to our health,Even so,the fruit is often imported,significantly contributing to the economy.1、What give durian its unique smell?AOnions nearby.BTwo gene copies.CRotten ingredients in it.DVolatile sulfur compound

43、n footprints smaller.But how much CO are we responsible for?A new book by Mike Berners-Lee(a leading expert in carbon foot-printing)might be able to help.The Carbon Foot print of Everything looks at the different things we do and buy,and calculates the amount of CO2 they produce,including the ingred

44、ients,the electricity,the equipment,the transport and the packaging.And its frightening how much carbon dioxide everything produces.But all of this can help us decide which beer to drink.From Berners-Lees calculations,its clear that a pint(568 ml)of locally-brewed(酿制的)beer has a smaller carbon footp

45、rint than a bottle of imported beer.This is because the imported beer has been transported from far away,and it uses more packaging.The local beer only produces 300 g of CO2-but the imported beer produces 900 g!So,one pint of local beer is better for the environment than three cans of cheap foreign

46、beer from the supermarket.Berners-Lee has even calculated the carbon footprint of cycling to work.Nothing is more environmentally-friendly than riding a bike,surely?Well,it depends on what youve had to eat before.To ride a bike we need energy and for energy we need food.So,if we eat a banana and the

47、n ride a kilometer and a half,our footprint is 65 g of CO2.However,if we eat bacon before the bike ride,its 200 g.In fact,bananas are good in general because they dont need packaging.They can be transported by boat and they grow in natural sunlight.So,does this mean that cycling is bad for the envir

48、onment?Absolutely not.If you cycle,you don t use your car;and the fewer cars on the road,the fewer traffic jams.And cars in traffic jams produce three times more CO2 than cars travelling at speed.Cycling also makes you healthy and less likely to go to a hospital.And hospitals have very big carbon fo

49、otprints!So,maybe its time for us all to start making some changes.Pass me a banana and a pint of local beer,please.1、Which of the followings produces the smallest carbon footprints?AA pint of local beer.BA bottle of imported beer.CA banana before a 1.5 km bike ride.DBacon before a 1.5 km bike ride.
