21、Wild animals are equipped with a variety of techniques to avoid becoming lunch for a bigger animal, also known as a predator (捕食者) in nature. The most well-known methods include the classic fight and flight as well as freeze.
A team of researchers wondered whether closeness to people might impact those survival strategies. “We often see that animals are more tolerant around us in urban areas, but we don’t really know why.” says evolutionary biologist Dan Blumstein. “Is it individual plasticity, meaning individuals change their fear of us and that leads to tolerance? Or can there be an evolutionary factor involved?”
To find out, Blumstein and his colleagues combined information from 173 studies of over 100 species, including mammals, birds, fish and even mollusks. It turns out that regardless of evolutionary ancestry, the animals react in a similar way to life among humans: they lose their anti-predator characteristics. That pattern is especially pronounced for plant-eating animals and for social species. This behavioral change is perhaps unsurprising when it’s intentional, the result of domestication or controlled breeding. But it turns out that urbanization alone results in a similar change, though around three times more slowly.
The main point is: we’re essentially domesticating animals by urbanization. We’re selecting for the same sorts of characteristics that we would if we were actually trying to domesticate them. If the urbanization process helps animals better co-exist with people, it could be to their benefit. But if it makes them more defenseless to their nonhuman predators, it could be a real problem. Either way, these results mean that city living has enough of an influence on wild animals that evolutionary processes kick in. Those reductions in anti-predator characteristics become encoded in their genes. We’re changing the population genetics one way or another.
What the researchers now wonder is whether the mere presence of tourists in less urbanized areas can cause similar changes in wild animals. If so, serious questions exist for the idea of ethical, welfare-oriented eco-tourism. If we wish to help animals keep their anti-predator defenses, the researchers say, we might have to intentionally expose animals to predators. It’s just yet one other way that we’re changing the world around us.
【1】The research led by Blumstein is aimed at ________.
A．determining how animals’ survival is impacted by individual plasticity
B．studying how living among humans affects animals’ survival strategies
C．comparing the effectiveness of different survival techniques
D．finding out which evolutionary factor impacts animals’ survival methods
【2】Which of the following practices may contribute to animals losing anti-predator characteristics?
A．Controlled breeding of animals.
B．Banning the operation of eco-tourism.
C．Planned selection of favorable genes.
D．Eliminating domestication.
【3】Which of the following statements is Blumstein likely to agree with?
A．Urbanization has made wild animals more alert.
B．Urbanization has brought concrete benefits to animals.
C．City living has led to animals’ genetic variations.
D．City living has helped to preserve animal species.
【4】The animal rescue center spotted an injured fox a year ago and has since nursed it back to health. Before releasing it back to the wild, the center should probably ________.
A．expose the fox to the urban environment repeatedly
B．train the fox to co-exist with the less aggressive predators

D．purposefully adapt the fox to predator related environment
22、I always felt sorry for the people in wheelchairs. Some people, old and weak, cannot get around by themselves. Others seem perfectly healthy, dressed in business suits. But whenever I saw someone in a wheelchair, I only saw a disability，not a person.
Then I fainted(昏倒) at Euro Disney due to low blood pressure. This was the first time I had ever fainted, and my parents said that I must rest for a while after first aid. I agreed to take it easy, but as I stepped toward the door, I saw my dad pushing a wheelchair in my direction! Feeling the colour burn my cheeks, I asked him to wheel that thing right back to where he found it.
I could not believe this was happening to me. Wheelchairs were fine for other people but not for me. As my father wheeled me out into the main street, people immediately began to treat me differently.
Little kids ran in front of me, forcing my father to stop the wheelchair suddenly. Bitterness set in as I was thrown back and forth.
＂Stupid kids! They have perfectly good legs. Why can’t they watch where they are going？＂I thought. People stared down at me，pity in their eyes. Then they would look away, maybe because they thought the sooner they forgot me the better.
＂I’m just like you！＂ I wanted to scream. ＂The only difference is that you’ve got legs，and I have wheels.＂
People in wheelchairs are not stupid. They see every look and hear each word. Looking out at the faces, I finally understood: I was once just like them. I treated people in wheelchairs exactly the way they did not want to be treated. I realized it is some of us with two healthy legs who are truly disabled.
【1】The author once ________ when she was healthy.

【4】What is the best title for this passage?
A. How to get used to wheelchairs
B. People in wheelchairs should be equally treated
C. People with two legs are truly healthy
D. The difference between healthy people and the disabled
23、Growing ups I always envied my friends who lived in one town in their whole lives. Coming from a military family makes this impossible. My brothers and I soon found that if we didn’t like a place we lived in, we’d soon be moving to a new place. Through all the ups and downs, I now realize that’s everything I’ve done, seen, and learned has made me into the person I am today.
The field day was the best day ever created. Being good at sports which I had done together with parents seemed to help me find my position at a new school. Despite the hot weather in San Antonio, Texas, I had to take outdoor activities. Sometimes we took the family mountain biking after school. My brothers and I were arranged to join in the swim team and practice yoga. These are the things I remember about my childhood. Now I thank my parents for teaching me these vital principles, which I will have with me the rest of my life.
I was always the shy girl and afraid to be myself. This didn’t bother me until I reached junior high school, when some girls judged me by what I wore, who I talked to and how skinny I was. I felt like I’d never done anything wrong to deserve such criticism. It was not until last year that I realized that I had to stay different from them and live my life according to my principles. I decided to be my own person. I never thought that being nice could cause me to be disliked. Anyway, I began hanging out with girls who had a lot in common with me like preferring outdoor sports. They were accepting and non-judgmental. I am now content with knowing that I am my own person and don’t let others control my life.

24、 How did life come about on Earth? Did it appear in a flash of light? Well, not exactly. A study published in the journal Nature Communications in March shows that lightning may have played a significant role in the creation of life on Earth.
When lightning hits sand, soil or stone, it melts the materials into a glassy material called fulgurite (闪电熔岩). When a group of researchers examined a particular fulgurite, they found a thick, tree-root-like structure extending down about a foot and a half (about 0.46 meters). “(It was) just entirely made of glass and (had), like, burned soil on the outside of it,” said Benjamin Hess, study author and graduate student at Yale University, US.
But what Hess and his colleagues at the University of Leeds, UK, found inside the fulgurite was even more impressive. According to Science News, “By firing X-rays and electrons (电子) at the fulgurite, and observing how those beams (光线) interacted with the material, the researchers were able to detect its composition.”
They discovered that the fulgurite contained schreibersite (磷铁石), a phosphorus (磷) mineral that can be dissolved in water. Phosphorus is essential for the formation of DNA and cell membranes (薄膜), as well as the formation of teeth and bones in humans, according to the website Phys.org.
It has long been thought that meteorites (陨石) were responsible for delivering this element to Earth. However, life began between 3.5 to 4.5 billion years ago when fewer meteorites were impacting Earth, reported CNN.
According to MSN, Hess and his colleagues estimated that early Earth saw one to five billion lightning flashes every year. Of those, anywhere from 100 million to 1 billion would have struck the ground annually, accounting for between 110 to 11,000 kg of phosphorus per year. While this is a large range, “even the low end is enough to potentially fuel the first life forms, and a quantity that may have eventually exceeded meteor strikes”, MSN reported.
