21、Why Are Tigers Orange?
The colors of an animal serve lots of different purposes — for instance, to help them hide into surroundings and escape from being noticed by preys (猎物). For tigers, their ability to be invisible will just decide whether they catch dinner or go hungry. 【1】
As for humans, orange is a color used for items that need to stand out, like traffic lights and safety vests. That’s because we have what’s called trichromatic color vision, which differentiate three types of color: blue, green and red. 【2】 But most other mammals, including dogs, horses and deer, have dichromatic (二色的) color vision for only two colors: blue and green. Humans who get information only of blue and green are considered color-blind, and can’t distinguish between red and green colors. 【3】
Mammals like deer are the tiger’s main prey, and their dichromatic vision means they don’t see tigers as orange — they see them as green. That makes the tiger much harder to spot as it’s prowling behind a bush or crouching in the grass. Although green tigers would probably be even harder to spot, evolution (进化) just doesn’t work with the ingredients necessary to make green fur. 【4】 The only recognizably green mammal is a sloth, and its fur isn’t green in fact. That’s an alga that grows in its fur.
【5】 There seems to be no evolutionary pressure, particularly for deer, which are the main prey of the tiger, to become trichromatic. That’s probably because the tiger doesn’t know it’s orange either. So, the evolutionary race really doesn’t exist for that color. It’s just that the tiger has evolved over the sweep of evolution to have a coloring, a hiding system, which protects it very well in its jungle setting.
A．Actually, there are no green furry animals.
B．Orange fur makes tigers relatively easy to spot.
C．The same is likely true for dichromatic animals.
D．Then, why don’t deer evolve the ability to see orange?
E．So, of all the colors they could be, why are tigers orange?
F．Colors of humans’ eyes are quite similar to many other mammals’.
G．We share this style of vision with some mammals like apes and certain monkeys.
22、Until the invention of the steam engine, humans traveled the earth on foot. The slow travel meant that explorers frequently returned with stories about distant lands: some of them wild tales, some honest descriptions.
Barbara Klion, who has retired, knows what that’s like. As a walker who has toured Australia, Kenya and China on foot, her trips are the modern edition of an ancient tradition. For years, Klion and her husband, now 75 and 80 years old, traveled independently.
Walkers know that seeing the world on foot gives them a rare experience. Often travelers are attracted by local people and customs. They also get a beautiful and lasting impression of the scenery. Walking tours can be done in one’s backyard, but there are several destinations around the world that expose travelers to the best of nature and culture.
What to look for? A famous guide says that the essentials of a quality walk are great scenery, tolerable1 weather, suitable level of difficulty and something like ecology, history or culture. These may seem like unclear instructions, but the fun of walking tours is that many things are determined by the traveler.
Someone who appreciates hot climates, wildlife and flat areas could choose a walking tour in Zambia’s South Luangwa National Park. Travelers who don’t mind the cold and enjoy adventure could hike Patagonia, an area of southern Argentina east of the Andes.
In general, independent travelers can decide how far to go each day, while guests of a tour agency should expect to walk an average of four to eight miles a day. At the Fordland National Park, for example, there are several easy-to-difficult hikes, giving travelers many choices.
【1】Which of the following does NOT make a quality walking?
A．Great scenery.
B．Tolerable weather.
C．A helpful companion.
D．Suitable level of difficulty.
【2】According to the passage, compared with guests of a tour agency, independent travelers .
A．can walk farther B．have more choices
C．face more difficulties D．spend less
【3】What’s the author’s attitude towards walking tours?
A．Indifferent. B．Negative.
C．Worried. D．Supportive.
【4】The best title for the passage might be “ ”.
A．See the World on Foot
B．Barbara Klion, a Great Traveler
C．What to Look for
D．The Fun of Walking
23、 Sub-zero temperatures will reach some parts of the UK by the end of this week, bringing to an end a stretch of mild autumn weather. Temperatures look likely to fall below zero m some parts of the country by Friday, with forecasters saying a cold blast will make parts of the UK feel like they have been thrown into an early winter.
Strong winds will affect parts of northern England and Scotland, reaching 50mph in exposed and coastal regions. Northern Scotland, especially Orkney and Shetland; are likely to be the worst hit. Temperatures will be low enough for snow in northern England. There is also a risk of high tides in the north-east of the country.
This week, however, much of the country will see blue skies and temperatures in the mid-teens until Thursday, with a cold snap sweeping in by the start of the weekend, said Luke Miall，forecaster at the Met Office.
“It's the first cold snap of the season and it will feel like a bit of a surprise,” he said. By Tuesday, the north of Scotland will become wet and windy, while southern areas will be mostly dry with spells of sunshine and fine weather, with temperatures reaching up to 17°C to 18°C on Wednesday.
Miall said: “But as we go into Thursday, most places will start to see the change in weather and, while much of England and Wales start off fine, rain will start to push down from Scotland, bringing colder air behind it. By Friday we see that colder air hitting the whole country with highs of 7°C to 8°C in the north and 9°C to 10°C in the south. ”
“It's not unusual to see this weather at the end of October, but because we've had a warm autumn so far－which followed a dry, hot summer－it will feel like a bit of a shock to the system. ”
【1】How has the weather been in Britain recently?
A.Mild. B.Cold. C.Windy. D.Hot.
【2】Where will the weather change first?
A.Northern England. B.Wales. C.Northern Scotland. D.Southern England.
【3】What does Miall say about the coming weather?
A.It's normal. B.It's shocking. C.It's dangerous. D.It's concerning.
24、When it comes to natural disasters, floods come first in the USA since they kill more people and destroy more properties each year than tornadoes, hurricanes, lightning and so on. Flooding is already happening in the Mississippi. So, roll up your pant legs and get ready, because the best way to deal with floods is to be prepared.
Communication is key. When all systems are normal you have multiple modes of getting in touch with loved ones. But if cell phone towers are damaged from major flooding, you need a backup. Have a plan in place for how everyone will get in touch with each other, including a safe place to meet up in the event you have to evacuate. And then add a Plan B. And C.
Store an emergency kit. As water floods around you, it’ll be important to have safe drinking water available to everyone for at least three days. So fill your emergency kit with canned food to guarantee enough supply, since cooking might be unfeasible for a while during the floods. Think about what else you’ll want to have handy, including batteries, flashlights, blankets, rubber boots and a first-aid kit. A battery-operated, or wind-up, radio is vital.
It’s great to be prepared, but what if a flash flood rushes in before you’ve had a chance to leave? The safest way is to get as high up as possible at once, and then call 911, trying to avoid the flood water at all costs. Do not, for instance, wander around in the basement or any room in which water is covering the electrical lines.
If you evacuated, don’t return until the authorities give you the announcement that floods are decreasing to the minimum. Your home’s structure and power might all be fragile. At this stage, patience is vital. At home you might as well sit tight and wait for the waters to die down, and for the electricians to assess the damage.
【1】Why do the floods come first in the USA?
A．Because people are more afraid to be struck by floods.
B．Because floods is hard to be well prepared beforehand.
C．Because flooding is already happening in the Mississippi.
D．Because they are more destructive than other natural disasters.
【2】People should do the following preparations before the floods except ______.
A．storing enough food
B．owning a first-aid kit
C．building a cell phone tower
D．needing a backup plan
【3】The underlined word “unfeasible” in Paragraph 3 probably means ______.
A．important
B．impossible
C．useful
D．accessible
【4】What should you do at first if you have no chance to evacuate?
A．Rush to the height.
B．Call 911 to get help.
C．Hide in the basement.
D．Try to avoid the floods.
