9、y birds have to leave the nest. But songbirds often push their young out long before its actually time for them to spread their wings and fly, research from the University of Illinois finds.“From what we can tell, instead of physically pushing their young out, bird parents do this by decreasing the

10、amount of food they give them to force them out through hunger, and by communicating with them directly to encourage them to leave,” says lead author Todd Jones, a doctoral student in the Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Sciences at the University of Illinois.The study shows that th

11、e young birds who were forced to leave early were less likely to survive than those that stayed in the nest. “Birds that leave the nest at a younger age have less developed wings, and as a result often die before adulthood. Those that stay home longer can fly away when they finally leave and are mor

12、e likely to survive,” says Jones.Then why would songbirds push out their babies before they can fly? “Rather than leaving all their eggs (or in this case young birds) in one basket, bird parents can get their young to leave the nest earlier and spatially separate all the young birds so that the prob

13、ability of all their young being eaten becomes nearly zero,” Jones says.For the young birds that want to stick around, being forced out of their nest might seem like a cruel parental tactic. With no other choices, the little birds have to begin making their own way in the world, with the hope that o

14、ne day theyll do the same thing to their own young.“Our study suggests this tactic finally improves parental fitness and is likely passed on from generation to generation, Jones says. “Birds face many challenges in our changing world, and it is important that we understand tactics, such as the one m

15、entioned in our study, that birds may use to respond to such challenges so that we may protect these birds.”4What would songbirds do to get their young out of the nest?AShow no care to them.BPhysically push them out.CAttract them out with songs.DStop giving them enough food.5What can we learn about

16、the young birds forced out of the nest?AThey will try to find another nest.BThey will learn to fly very quickly.CThey will be willing to come back.DThey will have less chance of survival.6Why do songbirds make their young leave before they are ready?ATo lead an easy life themselves.BTo make space fo

17、r their reproduction.CTo avoid losing all their young to enemies.DTo encourage independence in their young.7What does the underlined phrase the same thing in paragraph 5 refer to?AProtecting young birds from dangers.BForcing young birds out of the nest early.CPunishing young birds if they do somethi

18、ng wrong.DLetting young birds stay in the nest until they grow up.Taking good care of your teeth may be linked to better brain health, according to a study published in the July 5, 2023, online issue of Neurology. “Our study found that gum (牙龈) disease and tooth loss were linked to brain shrinkage (

19、萎缩) in the hippocampus (海马体), which plays a role in memory and Alzheimers disease (阿尔兹海默病),” said study author Satoshi Yamaguchi, Ph.Dof Tohoku University in Sendai, Japan.The study involved 172 people without memory problems. Their average age was 67. Participants had dental exams and took memory t

20、ests at the beginning of the study. They also had brain scans to measure the volume of their hippocampus at the beginning of the study. This was measured again four years later. For each participant, researchers counted the number of teeth and checked for amount of gum disease.Researchers found that

21、 the number of teeth and amount of gum disease was linked to changes in the left hippocampus of the brain. For people with mild gum disease, having fewer teeth was associated with a faster rate of brain shrinkage, which is the same for people with severe gum disease having more teeth. After adjustin

22、g for age, researchers found that for people with mild gum disease, the increase in the rate of brain shrinkage due to one less tooth was equal to nearly one year of brain aging. By contrast, for people with severe gum disease the increase in brain shrinkage due to one more tooth was equal to 1.3 ye

23、ars of brain aging.“These results highlight the importance of preserving the health of the teeth and not just maintaining the teeth,” Yamaguchi said. “The findings suggest that controlling the progression of gum disease through regular dental visits is crucial, and that teeth with severe gum disease

24、 may need to be removed and replaced with appropriate false ones.”Yamaguchi said future studies are needed with larger groups of people. The limitation of the study is that it was conducted in one region of Japan, so the results may not be applied to other locations.8What is Yamaguchis study mainly

25、about?ACauses of gum disease.BThe symptoms of brain shrinkage.CWays to take good care of ones teeth.DThe connection between the teeth and the brain.9How did researchers reach the conclusion?ABy making comparisons.BBy referring to previous studies.CBy conducting a survey among dentists.DBy proving ex

26、perts theory in experiments.10What do the research findings indicate?AGum disease is increasing among people.BKeeping teeth healthy is of great importance.CRemoving natural teeth is bad for dental health.DDoing a routine dental checkup can avoid gum disease.11What is expected of the future studies a

27、ccording to Yamaguchi?AExploring treatments for gum disease.BSeeking new methods to improve brain health.CInvolving people from other places in the research.DApplying the research to relieve Alzheimers disease.The production and distribution of food accounts for around a third of the worlds total gr

28、eenhouse gas emissions. But as a consumer, its difficult to measure the climate impact of what you eat. A Dublin-based startup called Evocco could soon make it a cinch. “It lets you track, improve and offset the climate impact of your food purchases,” co-founder Hugh Weldon says.Users simply photogr

29、aph their grocery receipt using the Evocco app, which identifies the food products by reading the printed text and using machine learning. It then calculates the carbon footprint based on the stores location and by checking the type, weight and origin of a food against a database. The app also gives

30、 users the option to offset their shopping by contributing to Go Carbon Neutral, an Irish not-for-profit initiative that plants native woodland.As well as the immediate impact of offsetting groceries, Evocco hopes to raise public awareness of the carbon footprint of different foods. Some factors are

31、 well known for instance, animal products are typically more resource-intensive than most plant-based alternatives, and importing products increases their carbon footprint but the app also helps identify other important differences between items, such as seasonality or whether refrigeration was requ

32、ired on the journey to market. It also offers tips on how to reduce shopping emissions. The app has been downloaded more than 1,000 times since its launch.As well as the personal shopping app, Evocco is developing a digital tool to sell to food retailers, e-commerce platforms and delivery apps that

33、will track the climate impact of a products journey through the supply chain. The aim is to help retailers provide climate impact information directly for consumers, while also giving Evocco access to product data to improve its app. “Our vision is to be the go-to digital tool for the food industry

34、when it comes to supplying climate impact information and sustainable consumption insights,” says Weldon.12What does the underlined part “a cinch” in paragraph 1 mean?AA huge success.BAn easy task.CA great challenge.DAn official standard.13What might Evocco suggest users buy?ALocal seasonal fruits.B

35、Local refrigerated meat.CImported cold chain meat.DImported seasonal vegetables.14What will Evoccos digital tool be used for?AFinding ways to reduce the carbon footprint.BPromoting the food industry on e-commerce platforms.CMonitoring products climate impact during transportation.DHelping consumers

36、access up-to-date information about retailers.15What can be the best title for the text?AWhy grocery stores are bad for the environmentBWhat to buy at grocery stores for the lowest carbon footprintCGo Carbon Neutral helps offset your shoppings carbon footprintDAn app can work out your carbon footpri

37、nt from your grocery receipt二、七选五The alarm signals us to get up in the morning but it doesnt wake up our body. 16 . In fact, this action does a lot more for our bodies than just wake us up.It will adjust our muscles.When we sleep, our muscles lose tone (紧实度) and gravity pulls the fluid into one plac

38、e along our back. 17 . For just a moment, stretching will release the muscles from their resting place, so that they can work on their proper positioning. This process will help us calculate the movements we need to get up and start moving. 18 .When we stretch, we help the blood flow, which automati

39、cally decrease pressure. This is because the part of the nervous system that is responsible for our heart rate, digestion and endocrine functions gets a jump start. It will help the brain send stronger signals to the muscles. 19 . This means that as we stretch, our brain sends stronger signals to ou

40、r muscles. Then the feedback received back lets the brain work on how strong the signals should be to perform different tasks.It can help with stiffness (僵硬) and tightness.Spending more time in a single position can affect our body and cause tightness and stiffness. When we stretch after waking up,

41、it works out the joints and muscles, 20 .AIt can relieve stressBIt is stretching that doesCand cools down the brainDand tells our brain that its time to get upEWe stretch when we are bored to stay awakeFStretching reestablishes communication between the brain and the musclesGWhen we stretch, it mass

My universitys philosophy was to get students seeing patients early in their education. Nice as it is, it 21 o

43、ne detail: second-year students may know next to nothing.Assigned to my team that day was a fully-occupied doctor and he told us to start small. Along with me were two guys just as 22 as I was, but in a scarier way: they had recently graduated from medical school as MDs (medical doctor).The day bega

44、n at 6:30 am. We did a quick check of our three patients and later we were to 23 our findings to the doctor, which we supposed was a piece of cake.But when I arrived in the room of 70-year-old Mr. Adams, he was sitting up in bed, sweating and 24 heavily. Hed just had a hip operation and looked terri

45、ble. I listened to his lungs with my stethoscope, but they 25 clear. Next I checked and found his heart rate had been 26 , but his temperature was steady. It didnt seem like heart failure, nor did it appear to be pneumonia. So l asked Mr. Adams what he thought was going on.“Its really hot in here, D

46、oc”he replied. So I concluded that his condition resulted from the stuffy room and told him the rest of the team would return in a few minutes, 27 him it was OK. He then 28 a smile and waved goodbye weakly.Back to my office, still 29 about Mr. Adams, I checked my textbooks and notes. I 30 when seein

Obviously, I made a silly mistake and 32 consumed me.“Code Blue Room307!”, however, I instantly called the doctor, 33 to the room. 34 , he was still fine and received the immediate opera

48、tion.This incident has been in my mind for 30 years. What if I hadnt read that chapter in the textbook? What if I was too scared, too insecure, and too 35 to ask the real doctor for help?21AignoredBadmittedCfanciedDrejected22AprofessionalBdeterminedCinexperiencedDjoyful23AgatherBexplainCclaimDpresent24AcryingBbreathingCcoug
