17、disadvantages of not being educated.D.The reason why some people think college useless.cThe world is literally a greener place than it was 20 years ago,and data from NASA satelliteshas revealed a source for much of this new greening phenomenon：China and India.This newinsight was made possible by a n

18、early 20-year-long data record from a NASA instrumentorbiting the Earth on two satellites.Taken all together,the greening of the planet over the last two decades represents an increase inleaf area on plants and trees equal to the area covered by all the Amazon rainforests.There arenow more than two

19、million square miles of extra green leaf area per year,compared to the early2000s-a 5%increase.China and India account for one-third of the greening,but contain only 9%of the planets landarea covered in vegetation（植被）-a suiprising finding,considering the common phenomenonof land degradation(恶化)in po

20、pulous countries from overuse/said Chi Chen,lead authorof the study.This long-term data lets us dig deeper,said Rama Nemani,a co-author of the new work.When the greening of the Earth was first observed,we thought it was due to a warmer,wetterclimate and fertilisation from the added carbon dioxide(CO

21、2)in the atmosphere,leading tomore leaf growth in northern forests.Now,with the data that lets us understand thephenomenon at really small scales,we see that humans are also contributing.*Chinas outsized contribution to the global greening trend comes in large part(42%)fromprogrammes to conserve and

22、 expand forests.These were developed in an effort to reduce theeffects of soil erosion,air pollution and climate change.Another 32%there-82%of thegreening seen in India-comes from intensive(集 约 的)growing of food crops.How thegreening trend may change in the future depends on numerous factors,both on

23、 a global scaleand the local human level.For example,increased food production in India is promoted bygroundwater irrigation.If the groundwater is running out,this trend may change.The researchers point out that the gain in greenness seen around the world and led by India andChina does not offset th

29、good disguise keeps you hidden,right?Well,sometimes the best disguise is actually themost dazzling because research reveals that flashy metallic iridescence（金属彩虹色）canvisually puzzle predators,which allows colourful prey to survive another day.Those surprisingresults appear in the journal Scientific

30、Reports.Shining iridescent colour,which changes depending on the angle from which its viewed,isfavoured by everything from birds to beetles and blossoms to butterflies.And in our research group we are of course interested in why this vivid metallic colour is sowidespread in nature.Karin Kjernsmo of

31、the University of Bristol adds that in some cases theshowy splashes of light are a sexual strategy.Here I would like to point out that in somespecies,particularly those that display strong sexual dimorphism（雌雄两性）,such as birdsof paradise or some butterflies or fishes,the occurrence of iridescence is

32、 most likely driven bysexual selection.For example,in many of these cases it is the males that have these vividiridescent colours and they use them in mate choice or they use them as a signal to attractmates.1 But iridescence also shows up in situations where reproduction is not an issue.Sowhat we a

33、re studying now is whether natural selection imposed by predation（捕食行为）could explain the occurrence of iridescence in prey animals.0The idea that eye-catching colours could be used as a cover-up isnt a new one.The father ofcamouflage theory,Abbott Thayer,really believed that iridescence should be ca

34、tegorised as acamouflage strategy.And he wrote in his famous lifework Concealing-Coloration in theAnimal Kingdom,already in 1909,that brilliantly changeable or metallic colours are amongthe strongest factors in an animals concealment.And this sounds like a completelyunreasonable thing to say,because

35、 how can colours that are both brilliant and changeablecontribute to animafs concealment?In a similar way,we were asking whether iridescence,due to its changeability,could work asa form of camouflage by preventing shape recognition.0 Kjemsmo and her colleagues trainedbumblebees to associate a partic

36、ular shape-a circle or an oval-with a sugar reward.And theyfound that the bees,when given a choice,would preferentially visit the shape they knew to besweet.But when the shapes were iridescent,the bees had trouble telling them apart.It seemedthat the strikingly iridescent surfaces on our targets vis

37、ually broke up the otherwiserecognisable shape of the targets,which made them hard to distinguish.1 As for making use ofthis method fbr hiding in plain sight,uAny practical applications is of course directly linked toany industry that has an interest in camouflage,that is how to conceal objects or m

38、ake themmore difficult to recognise.*The researchers are currently conducting experiments with birds,which often prey on iridescent insects to see if it helps to have a bird*s-eye view.12.According to the passage,iridescence is not made use of by animals to.A.live a little longer by escaping their p

39、redator（捕食者）B.catch the attention of their matesC.conceal themselves when in dangerD.catch sight of more colourful preys13.From the study in the last paragraph,we can learn t hat.A.bees can always tell the difference between a circle and an ovalB.bees are creatures that are fascinated by sweet thing

40、s that are iridescentC.if a circle,with a sugar reward,is iridescent,the bees may have difficulty finding itD.bees are likely to prefer circles to ovals,whether they are iridescent or not14.What will be talked about in the following paragraph?A.Whether there are any differences between bees and bird

41、s.B.Some industries that have great interest in camouflage.C.Why birds are not affected by iridescent insects.D.Which camouflage theory applies more to birds.15.Which of the following might serve as the best title of the passage?A.A famous camouflage strategyB.Metallic iridescent as the best disguis

45、might be in thefuture to experience the sand between your toes,and hear the waves,just lying in your bed athome.(4).So,even if a great invention is there fbr an affordable price,ifll never takethe place of the common experience if it is not real.(5).What well see in the next 50 years is the transiti
