26、Pesticides might just be a bee's. worst enemy. They harm their brains, stow down their re-production, and even kill their buzz. Now it seems they damage their social lives and reduce their ability to care for their young.
While previous studies have shown that commonly used neonicotinoid pesticides make bees sick and affect how they search for food and navigate, a new study gives more of an idea of how these chemicals affect the internal workings of a colony. Studying these effects has proved difficult, so the team employed a new technique. They stuck tiny QR codes to the backs of bumble-bees and tracked their movements using a robotic camera.
The researchers looked at 12 colonies housed in a lab, giving some the same level of imidacloprid-the world's most commonly used pesticide-that they'd be exposed to in the wild while keeping others pesticide free as controls. They checked on them for a few minutes 12 times a day. The findings are published in the journal Science.
Unfortunately, the researchers found a number of obvious differences between the bees exposed to the pesticide and the controls. The bees given neonicotinoids spent less time interacting with other bees and more time resting. This lull (间歇) in activity tended to happen more at night, but the researchers aren't sure why.
“Bees actually have a very strong circadian rhythm (生理节奏),”lead author James Crall explained in a statement. “So what we found was that, during the day, there was no statistically observable effect, but at night, we could see that they were crashing. We don't know yet whether the pesticides are destroying circadian gene regulation or if this is just some, maybe physiological feedback..But it suggests that, just from a practical perspective, if we want to understand or study these compounds, looking at effects overnight matters a lot."
【1】How was the research conducted?
A．By performing a survey.
B．By collecting information.
C．By asking questions.
D．By making comparisons.
【2】What does the underlined word“controls" in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A．The tools used to observe the bees.
B．The bees without being exposed to the pesticide.
C．The researchers taking charge of the experiments.
D．The data recorded by the robotic camera.
【3】What happened to the bees exposed to the pesticide at night?
A．They forgot to feed the young.
B．They preferred communicating more.
C．They lost the ability to rest.
D．They remained less active.
【4】What's the purpose of the passage?
A．To call for the toughest ban on the chemicals.
B．To check the best time to observe experimental results.
C．To inform people of the worrying effects of pesticides.
D．To recommend measures to improve the quality of pesticides.
27、A starving polar bear seen hunting for food in a major industrial city in northern Siberia has been captured and will be transported to a wildlife park for treatment, according to local reports.
Photos showed the female animal trudging across a busy road with muddy paws, digging through rubble and trash and lying down from apparent exhaustion on the ground.
Experts believe the animal, initially thought to have wandered hundreds of miles from its natural habitat in the Arctic, instead may have been taken as a baby polar and raised in enclosed places by traders, according to the Siberian Times.
The experts explained that it is typically not females but males that migrate long distances, and said this polar bear was too clean to have made such a travel, the newspaper reported. They told the newspaper it’s possible that poachers released the animal to avoid being caught and punished. Polar bear poaching has been banned in Russia for more than 60 years. Still, it has been estimated that as many as 200 of them are killed each year in the Far East region.
As the Washington post’s Isaac Stanley-Becker reported, polar bears are classified as a vulnerable species because of the ongoing and potential loss of their sea ice habitat resulting from climate change, according to the World Wildlife Fund.
【1】What does the underlined word “enclosed” mean in paragraph 3?
A．fenced.
B．chained.
C．diverged.
D．guaranteed.
【2】Why do experts believe that the polar bear did not travel from the Arctic to Russia by itself?
A．Because this polar bear is too exhausted.
B．Because this polar bear is a male.
C．Because this polar bear has no family.
D．Because this polar bear looks clean.
【3】Why are bears classified as vulnerable species according to the writer?
A．Because they have white fur.
B．Because their sea ice habitat is disappearing.
C．Because they are not cut enough.
D．Because they are often captured by poachers and pelt traders.

32、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一个完整的短文。
I participated in an exchange program where a Spanish student, Jenny, firstly came to live in my home for a few weeks and then I went to live in hers in Spain. I was somewhat nervous but mostly excited about the coming experience.
After the initial excitement, cultural differences began to affect me, causing me to feel anxious and homesick. What made culture shock difficult to deal with was the language barrier. My Spanish skills were not at the level of being able to express how I feel clearly.
The most difficult challenge was the food and meal time. I usually had dinner at 6:00 pm in China, but in Spain we had it at 10:00 pm when I was very hungry! I was a picky eater, and while I ate meat, I still wasn’t very adventurous. But there was a lot of meat in Spanish dishes. There were little kinds of vegetables in their dishes and potatoes were their favourite.
One night, I asked what we were going to eat. Since I didn’t know the Spanish word “conejo” they used, the entire family started acting like rabbits at the dinner table in an effort to help me understand its meaning. I was shocked. But in order not to bother them, I didn’t mention anything about my inadaptation.
When going back to my room after dinner, I just wanted to curl up alone and missed the delicious dumplings my mother made in my hometown. As there was no Chinese restaurant nearby, what I could do was to draw dumplings on papers as if I had eaten them and threw them into the dustbin.
