C In 2018, social scientist Roger Tyers decided to take the train from Southampton to Shanghai, a journey of almost two weeks, when he won a research fellowship in China. Tyers used to fly a lot. He changed his mind when he read a report warning that extraordi

31、nary societal changes would be needed if humanity wanted to keep global warming to 1.5 C above pre-industrial levels. Tyerss trip, by his calculations, generated just 10% of the emissions(排放) that the flights would, which pleases him, even though his train tickets came close to three times the price

32、 of the flights. Tyers is one of many climate scientists who are advocating less air travel and following their own advice. Today, as the coronavirus continues to ravage(蹂躏) much of the world, Tyerss concerns have declined at least temporarily because nearly all conferences and meetings have switche

33、d to virtual models. But the carbon-footprint issue will remain in the long term. Once the pandemic is brought to control, scientists will again wrestle with how to balance the need to fly to meetings and fieldwork sites with their desire to limit air travel. A study in October showed that climate s

34、cientists tend to fly more often for work compared with their peers, because of their remote fieldwork locations and their travel to international conferences, including those addressing climate change. Many feel strongly that virtual networking cannot adequately replace actual face-to-face time, an

35、d that opportunities to meet in person with peers（同行）and senior colleagues in their field are essential for career 第 6 页 共 21 页 advancement. Yet they point out that climate change is already having disastrous effects. So what do climate scientists advise? There are multiple ways, they say, to connec

36、t with colleagues, peers and others without boarding an airplane. Some are encouraging conference organizers to continue to offer virtual versions of all sessions, noting that attendance rose dramatically for many conferences that went onlineonly last year. Others are calling for a regular series of

37、 online meetings to help people connect virtually.

41、 when traveling D Like most birds, the great tit is (mostly) monogamous(一夫一妻的). Every winter pairs of the beautiful songbirds reunite for the upcoming breeding season and spend most of their time togethermarking out territory, building nests and even searching for food. The strength of their bond is

42、 obvious, but what would happen if the birds were forced to choose between love and food? To find out, University of Oxford zoologist Josh Firth and his colleagues arranged a set of feeders in a forest near the English countryside. Some of those feeders were set to open only for birds that had been

43、labelled with odd-numbered microchips; others allowed access only to those labelled with even numbers. Thus, pairs with matching assignments could open the same feeders and 第 7 页 共 21 页 feast on sunflower seeds together. Mismatched couples, on the other hand, were forced to dine at different venues.

44、 Over the course of three months the researchers monitored 17 couples, including seven odd-plus-even pairs that could not eat at the same feeders. They found that birds from those mismatched pairs visited inaccessible feeders nearly four times as often as those from matched pairs, suggesting that ma

45、tes were sticking together even if it meant one of them lost out on a meal. The results were published in December in Current Biology. Great tit couples may remain side by side even when one of them is hungry because they will need each other later on. “The pair bond is vital for great tits,” Firth

46、says. “Single parents cannot cope with the demands of raising young birds alone. Their only hope for success depends on having a supportive and reliable partner.” Andrew King, a behavioral ecologist at Swansea University in Wales, says that these findings mirror observations in a wide variety of ani

47、mals, ranging from primates to fish. “Getting less food and searching for food with a friendmay still be better than getting more food and searching for food alone,” he says. 32. Some couples were given microchips with different kinds of numbers so that _. A. they had to stay in different placesB. t

49、nitored by the researchers. D. Mismatched pairs visited the feeders more often. 34. Why do great tits value pair bond so much? A. Raising young birds is demanding for a single bird. B. They can get much more food by helping each other. C. They have to rely on their partner to build their nests. D. T

50、hey are naturally supportive and reliable. 35. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. The Strength of BondB. Love over food C. The Great TitsD.ASpecial Kind of Birds 第二节第二节 （共（共 5 小题；每小题小题；每小题 2.5 分，满分分，满分 12.5 分）分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 What is leadership,
