26、 Baby giraffes inherit aspects of their mothers’ patterning—which could give them a survival advantage if good camouflage runs in the family. Just like humans have unique sets of fingerprints, every giraffe has a unique set of spots.
Derek Lee is a wildlife biologist and population ecologist at Penn State, and with the Wild Nature Institute, a research consulting group. He and his colleagues have been tracking giraffes for seven years, throughout 1,500 square miles in Tanzania.
Now, they’ve used image analysis software to study the spots of mothers and their babies. And they found that baby giraffes inherit at least some particular elements of their patterning from their mothers, like how circular the spots are. They also found that baby giraffes with larger spots have better chance to survive their first months, because the spots are more like the dappled sunlight in the bushes where baby giraffes like to hide from hungry lions and hyenas(wild animals like dogs).
The results—and a lot of giraffe patterns—are recorded and explained in the journal Peer J.[Lee et al., Seeing spots: quantifying motheroffspring similarity and assessing fitness consequences of coat pattern traits in a wild population of giraffes (Giraffa camelopardalis)]
It’s perhaps not surprising that a physical characteristic that protects an individual from being eaten passes the test of Darwinian natural selection—and get passed along to later generations. “The fact that these things are inheritable and they do affect survival of baby animals makes us feel like evolution is embodied exactly by these spot features.” So if a mom’s camouflage is good, her babies, too, might have the spots that keep them safer.
【1】Why are baby giraffes with larger spots more likely to survive?
A．Because their mothers tend to protect them more.
B．Because they keep away from lions and hyenas.
C．Because their spots match surroundings better.
D．Because they barely move around in the bushes.
【2】What does the author intend to do in paragraph 4?
A．Summarize the previous paragraphs.
B．Add some background information.
C．Introduce a new topic for discussion.
D．Provide evidence for the findings.
【3】What does “embodied” underlined in the last paragraph mean?
A．Promoted.
B．Prevented.
C．Questioned.
D．Represented.
【4】What is the best title for the text?
A．Animals Have Their Unique Sets of Patterning
B．Derek Lee Has Been Studying Animal Patterning
C．Mom’s Genes Make Some Giraffes Hard to Spot
D．Animal Physical Characteristics Are Similar to Family’s
27、Things to do in Miyakojima
Famous for its sunny beaches and natural wonders, Miyako Island welcomes many visitors during holidays.
Unique beaches
Yonaha Maehama Beach is the most famous beach in Miyakojima, where whites and stretches for seven kilometers. The ocean is colored in blue, attracting visitors with its beauty. Compact Sunayama Beach, known for its arch-shaped (拱形的) rock, is hidden in a small cove (小海湾), and can be reached by walking through a narrow tunnel of trees.

29、It’s commonly thought that boys perform better than girls in math and science. Researchers have challenged that stereotype (刻板印象) for a long time, and a recent study, published in the journal Nature Communications in September, found a new way to attack it.
The study found that women are better than men at sustaining (维持) their performance on longer tests, including math and science.
Researchers Pau Balart, from the University of the Balearic Islands in Spain, and Matthijs Oosterveen from Erasmus University in the Netherlands, analyzed (分析) data collected every three years from 2006 to 2015. The data came from 74 countries and regions, for the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA). This is a standardized test of 15-year-old students’ performance in reading, math and science.
Their earlier results agreed with earlier findings that boys do better than girls in math and science. But when they compared the two groups’ scores at different stages of the test, girls tended to perform more stably (稳定地) in math and science, while boys started getting fewer correct answers.
Although boys seemed to show advantages from the start in math and science, the authors wrote, “This finding suggests that longer tests shrink it in math and science,” according to Nature. To prove this, the researchers analyzed another database with over 400 math tests, which lasted longer than PISA’s two hours. They found that, at least for math, the scoring gap between boys and girls decreased.
This isn’t the observation of better test endurance (忍耐力) in women. Oxford University used to add an extra 15 minutes to its math and computer science exams. They found female students’ scores improved.
Olga Shurchkov, an associate professor at Wellesley College in the US, told Newsweek: “This study is important because it provides cross-country evidence that suggests these gender (性别) gaps can be reduced.”
In her earlier study, she found that, given more time, women tended to be more careful and make fewer mistakes. They also were less likely to quit a task early. This also supports the finding of the present study.
【1】What did the new study find?
A．Boys are better than girls at math and science.
B．Girls usually do better than boys in shorter tests.
C．Girls prefer longer math and science tests than boys.
D．The length of a test affects girls and boys’ scores.
【2】What does the underlined word “shrink” probably mean?
A．Make something smaller.
B．Make something larger.
C．Keep something the same.
D．Make something appear.
【3】As to the findings about female students on tests, which of the following is true?
A．They were more likely to give up on longer tests.
B．They were not as quick at thinking as male students.
C．They tended to perform better at the beginning of a test.
D．They tended to be more patient and careful on longer tests.
【4】According to the text, what is the importance of the study?
A．It answered questions raised by earlier studies.
B．It could help to reduce gender gaps on tests.
C．It could attract girls to study math and science.
D．It is the first cross-country study of gender gaps on tests.
