15、nto dark waters in search of mullet (鲻鱼) On their own, it would be tricky to find the silvery fish. But the humans get help from an unusual partner: wild bottlenose dolphins.With nets in hand, the fishers patiently wait as their cetacean (鲸类的) partners drive the fish toward the shore. A signal from

16、the dolphinsusually a deep diveindicates when they should cast their nets. This fishing partnership has passed down through the generations, lasting for more than a century.While researchers knew humans profited from this pairing, they couldnt confirm whether it benefited the dolphins. Now, in a new

17、 study in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, researchers suggest cetaceans that hunt with humans have more chances to live than those that dont.“Human-wildlife cooperation in general is a rare phenomenon at a global scale.” says Mauricio Cantor, a biologist at Oregon State University a

18、nd leader of the study. “Usually humans gain the benefit, and nature pays the cost. But this interaction has been happening for over 150 years.”Fishers were more successful when they worked with the dolphins. When dolphins were present, the fishers were 17 times more likely to catch prey (猎物) and ne

19、tted nearly four times more mullet when they timed their casting with the cetaceans signals. Eighty-six percent of all 4.955 mullet caught during the study period came from “synchronous (同时的) interactions”when the allies organized their actions perfectly with one another. The study also revealed dol

20、phins hunting with humans had a 13 percent increase in survival rate over other dolphins. These cooperative dolphins are more likely to stay near the shore, reducing their chance of entanglement (缠绕) in illegal fishing equipment. Besides, the dolphins can take some fish directly from the fishers har

23、hers.27Whats the authors main purpose in writing the text?ATo appeal for the protection of sea creatures.BTo show a unique human-dolphin relationship.CTo applaud for development in fishing research.DTo encourage fishers to better draw on dolphins.When reading, my mother likes to slice a paragraph or

24、 a sentence out and attach it to the wall of her kitchen. She picks boring sentences that puzzle me. But I prefer copying favorite bright lines into a journal in soft, gray No. 2 pencil, word by word.She doesnt know any of this. Theres nothing shocking: for our chatting. we seldom begin certain conv

25、ersations though we talk on the phone weekly, sometimes making each other laugh so hard that I choke and she cries. But what we dont say could fill up rooms. Fights with my father. Small failures in school. Anything that really upsets us.My mother has never told me “I love you, Lisa.”as if the four-

26、word absence explains who I amso I carry it with me, like a label on me. The last time she almost spoke the words was two years ago, when she called to tell me a friend had been in hospital. I said, “I love you, Mom.” She stopped for a while and then said, “Thank you.” I havent said it since, but Iv

27、e wondered why my mother doesnt until Ive found a poem that supplies words for the blank spaces I try to understand in our conversations:Dont fill up on bread. I say absent-mindedly. The servings here are huge.My son, middle-aged, says: Did you really just say that to me?What he doesnt know is that

28、when were walking together, I desire to reach for his hand.Its humble, yet heartbreaking. After copying it down in my journal, I emailed it to mom, adding “This poem makes me think of you.” My mother doesnt read poetryor at least, she doesnt tell me, and I felt nervous clicking “Send”.She never ment

29、ioned the poem. But the next time I went home for vacation, I noticed something new in the kitchen fixed to an antique board: the poem. The board hung above the heater, the warmest spot in the kitchen. The poem still hangs there. Neither my mother nor I have ever spoken about it.28Whats the function

32、eems to dominate our conversations: bones. It makes sense, given that 20 percent of American women over 50 have osteoporosis (骨质疏松) and that more than half have bone loss. For men, the figures are lower: 4 percent and a third. Worldwide, one out of three women over 50 and one out of five older men w

33、ill develop a fracture (骨折). Another reason for the endless argument about bone problems is mass confusion over how best to strengthen your bones and whether diet really makes a difference.Diet research is always messy, and study results on nutrition and bone health havent been consistent. But gradu

34、ally some clarity is emerging. As we draw up resolutions for what to eat, its useful to look at new data on vitamin DCalcium is the key clement for building bones, and vitamin D helps to absorb calcium from the food we cat, so doctors often recommend D supplements (补充剂) to make up for age-related bo

35、ne loss.But a recent study found that taking D supplements for five years did not reduce the rate of fractures in seniors. That result built on earlier findings, led by the same team, that these supplements do not improve bone density (密度). “Food and sun exposure likely provide enough vitamin D for

36、healthy adults,” says Meryl LeBoff, who led the study.What does help maintain strong bones for all of us? The easy answer is food high in calcium, such as milk and tofu. Getting it from food is best, LeBoff says, “because there are so many other nutrients (营养物质), and you have a more continuous absor

37、ption than with D supplements.”The other key element of bone health involves calories out rather than calories in. Weight-bearing exercise stimulates bone formation throughout life. So while focusing on better nutritional choices, add more exercise to your daily menu.32What do the statistics in para

38、graph 1 emphasize?AThe seriousness of bone problems.BThe concern about senior citizens.CThe confusion about strengthening bones.DThe importance of having a balanced diet.33What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 2 imply?ADiet research is no longer a challenge.BWeve made resolutions to study d

39、iets.CFindings on bone health prove to be similar.DWe begin to agree on ways to keep bones healthy.34What can be inferred from the recent study?APeople can absorb vitamin D in food easily.BThe findings go against LeBoffs earlier ones.CD supplements play a minor role than expected.DFractures are link

40、ed with weight-bearing exercise.35What is a suitable title for the text?AA recipe for better bonesBYour bones cry!CThe magic of D supplementsDVitamin D wins!九、未知Theres a lot to cope with when you go off to university. _36_ For most students, a completely new environment is waiting to be explored.We

41、recently drove our daughter Evie 150 miles to start life as a fresher. It was a struggle to find the car park, let alone explore the huge campus. Although we knew she had flatmates and phone apps to get her to ft in, the challenge ahead was clear- -to find her way in an unfamiliar world. _37_In a re

42、cent study, volunteers walked around a virtual forest environment. Then some of them took the same walk again, while others explored a different forest._38_ According to the researchers, that was because exploring the new environment stimulated their dopamine (多巴胺) systemsetting up their brains for

43、memorizing things. Thus, they scored higher.So leaving home to study makes perfect sense. _39_ But we may all be able to gain some of the benefits, even if its just by stimulating our senses and challenging our thinking skills. Here are three things to try: Go somewhere new to tackle an upcoming lea

44、rning tasklike memorizing a speech in the library, or revising for an exam in a parkand take an unfamiliar route to get there. _40_To warm yourself up for learning, picture a city you know well, but imagine youre tapped in a part of it that youve never visited. Then try to visualize exactly how youl

45、l get out. Play video games that get you moving through new landscapes. Then see whether it improves your success with other learning tasks, like practising a dance or mastering phrases for a foreign trip.AGet lost in your imagination.BPrepare yourself for a city tour.CBut exploring places as such i

46、s beneficial to memory.DPeople prove to be more adaptable after new experience.EThe latter group performed better in memory tests straight after.FThere are new friends to meet and new responsibilities to accept.GYoung minds seem to gain most from being in strange surroundings.十、完形填空There was an oak
