18、.BMore than 5,500 has been raised after a plea (请愿) last Monday by a vet Dr Scott Miller. Scott said: “I would like to say a massive thank-you to Express readers from myself, from Australia and from the koalas. Its amazing that people from across the world can see how significant the catastrophe has
19、 been. I do appreciate that people are being very supportive and reaching into their pockets.” An area, a third of the size of Britain is estimated to have been ravaged(毁坏) since the blazes(火灾) began in September. On Friday a state of emergency was declared in the capital Canberra, with residents to
20、ld to prepare to evacuate as fires on the outskirts (市郊) threatened to spread. A billion animals are feared to have died, including 25,000 koalas.Last week Scott told how he had visited his homeland, helping to save wildlife on Kangaroo Island off the coast of Adelaide. While there he rescued a moth
21、er and a baby koala who were stuck in a tree. The pair were rushed to a field hospital on the island to be treated. The mum had severe burns to her paws and was badly dehydrated(脱水的), while her baby son had an eye injury and was underweight. Scott, who has appeared on ITVs This Morning and BBCs Blue
22、 Peter, said the mother is showing “great signs of improvement” and her wounds are starting to heal. The baby has undergone surgery to his eye and is “recovering from the anesthetic (麻药) and doing well”. But he added: “The mother remains dehydrated so isnt producing enough milk to feed the baby. At
23、the moment theyre being housed severally but there is the hope that when the baby is a little stronger he will be able to be returned to his mother.” Even after they recover, the pair will probably spend their lives in an enclosure while the bush takes years to recover. Scott said: “Sadly patients a

27、w that numerical（数值的）competence is present on almost every branch of the animal tree of life,” says Andreas Nieder, a neurobiologist from the University of Tuebingen. “Different groups of animals obviously developed this trait（特点）independently from others and that strongly indicates that it has to b
28、e of adaptive value.”Honeybees, for instance, can remember the number of landmarks they pass when searching for food in order to find their way back to the hive. The last common ancestor between honeybees and primates lived about 600 million years ago. But still, they evolved numerical competence th
29、at, in many respects, is comparable to vertebrate（脊椎动物的）numerical competence. Also, for example, male frogs sing “advertisement” calls to attract females. The females, listening for the complexity of their calls, choose the male that sings the most calls.Wolves are more likely to hunt successfully i
30、f they have the right number of wolves in their pack for the size of their prey（猎物）: With prey like deer, only around six to eight wolves are needed, while hunting wild ox requires a pack of nine to thirteen. Their prey also uses this concept to protect themselves from predators deer tend to live in
31、 large herds to reduce the chance of any individual becoming prey. So obviously they are assessing the number of individuals in their groups for their everyday life situations.Despite these many examples of numerical competence in animals, this subject has not gotten many first-hand studies. “Many o
32、f these behavioral findings in the wild have usually been collected as by-products or accidental findings of other research questions,” says Nieder. He argues that more research needs to be done to fully understand the numerical competence.28. The phenomenon of animals having their own numerical com
33、petence shows that .A. all groups of animals are related in some waysB. numerical competence must have a survival benefitC. the intelligence of animals varies with different environmentsD. animals numerical competence is determined by their adaptability29. What role does numerical competence play in
34、 wolves hunting?A. It helps them form hunting groups.B. It gives them more options to hunt.C. It makes them discover more prey.D. It offers them new skills to hunt.30. How does the author mainly develop this text?A. By listing figures.B. By asking questions.C. By giving examples.D. By making compari
35、sons.31. From which is the text probably taken?A. A biology textbook.B. A health magazine.C. A travel brochure.D. A research paper.DTo address the plastic pollution troubling the worlds seas and waterways, Cornell University chemists have developed a new polymer (聚合物) that can degrade (降解) when expo
36、sed to ultraviolet (紫外线的) radiation, according to the research published in the Journal of the American Chemical Society.“We have created a new plastic that has the mechanical properties required by commercial fishing gear. If it eventually gets lost in the water environment, this material can degra
37、de on a realistic time scale,” said lead researcher Bryce Lipinski, professor of chemistry and chemical biology at Cornell University. “This material could reduce persistent plastic accumulation in the environment.”Commercial fishing contributes to about half of all floating plastic waste that ends
38、up in the oceans. Fishing nets and ropes are primarily made from three kinds of polymers, none of which easily degrade. “While research of degradable plastics has received much attention in recent years,” Lipinski said, “obtaining a material with the mechanical strength comparable to commercial plas
39、tic remains a difficult challenge.”Coates and his research team have spent the past 15 years developing the new plastic called isotactic polypropylene oxide, or iPPO. While its original discovery was in 1949, the mechanical strength of this material was unknown before this recent work. The high isot
40、acticity and polymer chain length of their material makes it different from previous plastics and provides its mechanical strength.Lipinski noted that while iPPO is stable in ordinary use, it eventually breaks down when exposed to UV light. The change in the plastics composition is evident in the la
41、boratory, but “visually, it may not appear to have changed much during the process,” he said, “The rate of degradation is light intensity-dependent, but under their laboratory conditions, the polymer chain lengths degraded to a quarter of their original length after 30 days of exposure.”Lipinski and
42、 other scientists want no trace of the polymer to be left in the environment. He notes there is precedent for the biodegradation of small chains of iPPO which could effectively make it disappear and ongoing efforts aim to prove this.32. What is special about the new polymer?A. It can reduce plastic
43、consumption.B. It is expected to lower fishing costs.C. It can degrade plastic waste in the sea water.D. It has been developed to solve plastic pollution.33. What can we infer from paragraph 3?A. Fishing should be forbidden in the sea.B. It requires great effort to invent the new plastic.C. Nets and
44、 ropes are not the major pollution source.D. Degradable plastics were not studied until recently.34. What did the recent study find about iPPO?A. Its original use.B. Its special intensity.C. Its mechanical strength.D. Its complex composition.35. What is Lipinskis attitude towards the future of iPPO?
45、A. Hopeful.B. Indifferent.C. Skeptical.D. Negative.第二节 （共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Leadership lessons from SingaporeThe COVID-19 outbreak is causing alarm around the world, but here in Singapore, the small island country has managed to mostly contain the spread qu

I was puzzled with the thermometer as a standard-issue device for every employee. _37_ Since I was n

Philip looked at his friend and said, “You remember my new ball given by my father? Look! It is punctured! It was farmer Robinsons son who did this!”Stephen ask
71、ed him why young Robinson had ruined it. “I was walking and kicking my ball.” Philip replied, “By accident, when I was opposite the gate, my ball bumped over a bucket of water left in the pathway by him.”“He came up and began to yell at me. I assured him that what I had done was an accident, and tha
72、t I was terribly sorry for it. I also offered to fetch another bucket of water for him. But despite all I had said, he took a nail out of his pocket and twisted it into the ball, as you see. I will make him pay for this.”“Honestly speaking,” said Stephen, “he is already punished for what he has done
73、, because nobody likes him and he often walks around alone. He is just a lonely and miserable boy. This will be enough revenge for you.”“But the ball is my favorite gift and I enjoy playing with it so much” murmured Philip.“Now Philip,” said Stephen, “I think you can act better than him in terms of

The bee, of course, stung him. The pain made him so angry that, like you, he decided to get revenge. He got a stick, a
