But as a honey bee researcher, I have to tell you that only the first item on that list is reasonable. Although they are important for agriculture, honey b
10、ees also damage natural ecosystems by competing with native bees-some of which are species at risk.The rise in hobby beekeeping, now a popular activity for hundreds of thousands of Americans, followed strong awareness campaigns to “save the bees. But as a species, honey bees are least in need of sav
11、ing. Media attention unfairly covers them over native bees, and vague messaging has led many citizens-myself once included-to believe they are doing a good thing for the environment by putting on a beekeepers veil, Unfortunately, they are probably doing more harm than good.“Beekeeping is for people;
12、 its not a conservation practice, says Sheila Colla, an assistant professor and conservation biologist at Torontos York University, Canada. People mistakenly think keeping honey bees, or helping honey bees, is somehow helping the native bees, which are at risk of extinction. She is frustrated at the
13、 improper attention on saving honey bees when, from a conservationists point of view, native bees are the ones in more need of support.For some reason, maybe because they are small, honey bees are not generally viewed as the massively distributed livestock animal that they are. There are millions of
14、 honey bee colonies in North America, 2.8million of which are in the U S. Approximating around 30,000 bees per colony (the size of a pollination unit), thats roughly a billion honey bees in Canada and the U.S. alone-almost triple the number of people.High densities of honey bee colonies increase com
15、petition between native bees, putting even more pressure on the wild species that are already in decline.I used to believe that honey bees were a gateway species, and that concern over their health and development would spill over onto native bees, benefitting them, too. While this may have happened
16、 in some cases, evidence is increasing that misguided enthusiasm for honey bees has likely been to the native bees damage. Beekeeping doesnt make me feel good, anymore. In fact, quite the opposite.21. What makes bee keeping gain great popularity among Americans?A. Several campaigns have been launche
17、d to advocate bee saving.B. Citizens believe native bees are no longer in need of protection.C. Little importance are attached to protecting the environment.D. Citizens hope to make a fortune from the bee keeping business.22. What is the Collas possible attitude towards the beekeeping?A. Objective.B
18、. Unfavorable. C. Supportive. D. Neutral.23. What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. The authors attitude towards the beekeeping has changed.B. Peoples enthusiasm for keeping honey bees is increasing.C. In some cases evidence has proved honey bees are in danger.D. Keeping native bees is of grea
19、t benefit to peoples health.BDo you think youre smarter than your parents and grandparents? According to James Flynn, a professor at a New Zealand university, you are! Over the course of the last century, people who have taken IQ tests have gotten increasingly better score-on average, three points b
20、etter for every decade that has passed. This improvement is known as “the Flynn effect, and scientists want to know what is behind it.IQ tests and other similar tests are designed to measure general intelligence rather than know ledge. Flynn knew that intelligence is partly inherited from our parent
21、s and partly the result of our environment and experiences, but the improvement in test scores was happening too quickly to be explained by heredity. So what was happening in the 20th century that was helping people achieve higher scores on intelligence tests?Scientists have proposed several explana
22、tions for the Flynn effect. Some suggest that the improved test scores simply reflect an increased exposure to tests in general. Because we take so many tests, we learn test-taking techniques that help us perform better on any test. Others have pointed to better nutrition since it results in babies
23、being born larger, healthier, and with more brain development than in the past. Another possible explanation is a change in educational styles, With teachers encouraging children to learn by discovering things for themselves rather than just memorizing information. This could prepare people to do th
24、e kind of problem solving that intelligence tests require.Flynn limited the possible explanations when he looked carefully at the test data and discovered that the improvement in scores was only on certain parts of the IQ test. Test-takers didnt do better on the arithmetic or vocabulary sections of
25、the test; they did better on sections that required a special kind of reasoning and problem solving. For example, one part of the test shows a set of abstract shapes, and test-takers must look for patterns and connections between them and decide which shape should be added to the set. According toFl
26、ynn, this visual intelligence improves as the amount of technology in our lives increases. Every time you play a computer game or figure out how to program a new cell phone, you are exercising exactly the kind of thinking and problem solving that helps you do well on one kind of intelligence test. S
27、o are you really smarter than your parents? In one very specific way, you may be.24. The Flynn effect isA. not connected to our experiences B. unknown in some parts of the worldC. an increase in IQ test scores over time D. used to measure people s intelligence25. According to the article, newer educ
28、ational techniques include_A. improving test scores B. exposure to many testsC. memorizing information D. children finding things out themselves26. Why does the author mention computer games?A. To encourage the reader to do more exercise instead of playing games.B. To explain why more and more young

Which statement would Professor Flynn agree with?A. People today are taking easier tests. B. People today have more visual i
30、ntelligence.C. People today have fewer problems to solve. D. People today are more intelligent in every way.CLa Belle Personne is boring, but I love it. The 2008 French film features extremely softened and washed-out colors, a relatively uneventful plotline, and lifeless performances from the main c
31、haracters, all of which give the film its unique charm.The plain beauty of La Belle Personne comes not from its extremely unique plot, but rather its literary elements. Of course, the film is visually pretty lacking in liveliness. An editor must have purposely and smartly dealt with every single sho
32、t. The dominating colors in each of these shots are a vivid black, grey and white, making for a melancholic atmosphere. While one could easily view this lack of vividness as exhausting, I would argue that it makes for a beautifully unconventional cinematic experience.There are no artificial mental s
33、park stimulated by the visuals, and the viewers must therefore sit with themselves for an hour and a half, reflecting on what the piece personally means to them and how it genuinely makes them feel. Aside from a few major plot points, nothing terribly remarkable happens in La Belle Personne. Its mor
34、e like a lazy river under grey skies where the water is slightly too cold. But if you relax. your body temperature adjusts and you can sit back and just enjoy the ride.Although our current world may be both literally and symbolically on fire, its no secret that campus life in and of itself is consid
35、erably more boring than usual. With no parties to attend, most classes online, and the majority of clubs limited to Zoom Meetings, waking up every day might feel a bit more tedious. However, just like La Belle Personne has shown us, its important to appreciate your environment for what it is. In ter
36、ms of campus life, sometimes its not so horrible for things to be slow-paced, as it allows space for reflection and being present.28. What do we know about La Belle Personne from the first paragraph?A. It enjoys high popularity.B. It owns special artistic charm.C. It applies modern techniques.D. It
37、features lively performances.29. What can we infer from Paragraphs 2 and 3 about the film?A. All its viewers feel positive on it.B. It gives viewers a sense of ridiculousness.C. It suits those preferring sensory stimulation.D. It is worth tasting slowly and heart-wholly.30. What does underlined word
38、 “tedious in the last paragraph probably mean?A. Boring. B. Painstaking. C. Impractical. . D. Unnecessary.31. What is the purpose of this text?A. To show the importance of going to the movies.B. To recommend people to enjoy an unique movie.C. To introduce a way to appreciate a certain movie.D. To ca
39、ll for a slow-paced and positive school life.DAs has been all too apparent in recent days at Balcombe, few issues cause greater concern than energy policy. Many village communities feel their countryside is being ruined by the power-producing machines of wind farms; yet they never take “direct actio
40、n, even though the planning laws put them at a severe disadvantage. And the generous subsidies, which encourage the expansion of wind power, are not favorable to the village communities and set landowners in conflict with other residents.Those who disagree with the rapid expansion of wind farms stat
41、e that the damage they cause is out of proportion to the benefits they bring, because their energy output cannot match that of the carbon-based power stations they are supposed to replace. Supporters insist that wind must be part of a mix of renewables, nuclear and carbon, and that the country is co
42、mmitted to meeting EU(European Union) targets for non-carbon energy generation. .Against this background, the fact that there is an argument within the Government over whether to publish an official report on wind farms impact on the countryside becomes even more extraordinary. The two parties in th
43、e coalition government are in disagreement over what it should say.We have some advice for the two parties :publish the report ,and let the country be the judge. Even if it contains evidence that wind farms are harmful, it will hardly be a pleasant surprise to people who do not like them. Equally, s
44、upporters must argue their case by acknow ledging the concerns and explaining why they are either misplaced or worthy of much attention.The suggestion that further negotiations are to take place to produce an “acceptable report suggests that the politics of coalition government are doing the country
45、 harm in a certain way. Given the sensitivities involved ,all the information should be available so that people can reach their own conclusions, rather than being left With the suspicion that facts are being replaced by political beliefs.32. We call learn from the first paragraph that_A. energy pol
