9、r with outdoor advertising agency JCDecaux. Six large permanent wooden bee hotels first appeared on the back of a north-facing billboard in Jarfalla in September.“Without pollination(授粉) from bees, third of the food we eat would be threatened,McDonalds said. But it turns out that at least 30 percent
10、 of the countrys wild bee population is endangered. A big problem is that they lack places to live. Based on data released by Chalmers University of Technology, we know Sweden owns 274 species of bees, of which 37 species are bumblebees, and more than a third are in decline or face the risk of decli
11、ning unless intervention would be made. Their natural habitats have been damaged by factors including the changes of agricultural activities and increased urbanization. Fortunately, most bees are able to survive in urban habitats, like the bee hotels. Great efforts have been made by the company. On
12、World Bee Day, May 20, it introduced the worlds smallest McDonalds, Mc Hive, which could function as an actual beehive. Designed by set designer Nicklas Nilsson himself, the creation was sold at auction(拍卖)for10,000 at charity fund-raiser- held by Ronald McDonald House Charities. Beehives can be fou

The Conservation of Wild BeesC Most humans are able to recognize about 1 million different colors, but some people cant recognize all these colors because of
17、something called color-blindness.In rare cases, some people cant see any colors at all. There are three cone-shaped cells at the back of our eyes that allow us to see colors. These cells absorb light waves and send message to the brain, where the image is processed. If something is wrong with these
18、cone-shaped cells, this can result in color-blindness. Thankfully, special color-correcting glasses have already been made to help fix some types of color-blindness. Now, according to research published in Optics Letters, scientists have provided another choice. Sharon Karepov and Tal Ellenbogen, en
19、gineers from Tel Aviv University in Israel, have found a way to apply this technology to contact lenses(隐形眼镜). This is good news for the millions of people worldwide who suffer from color- blindness. One of the most common types of color-blindness is red-green color-blindness. People who have this s
20、pecific type have difficulty telling the colors red and green apart. Problems with distinguishing red from green stop simple daily routines such as deciding whether banana is ripe, Karepov explained. Karepov also stressed the importance of applying this finding to creating special contact lenses ins
21、tead of relying on color-correcting glasses.“ Glasses based on this correction concept are commercially available. However, they are much bigger than contact lenses,Karepov said.“Our contact lenses create customized, compact and durable(耐用的) way to deal with these shortcomings This new research is g
22、roundbreaking. In addition to offering those who are color-blind another option, it may lead to solutions to some visual damage.28. What can cause color-blindness according to the article?

25、. B.They are easier to make. C. They are much cheaper.D. They can help correct color-blindnessD Most people feel that dreams are unique to humans, but many dog owners will likely disagree. They have noticed that their dogs at various times during the sleep may shake legs, snort(哼) and sometimes grow
26、l(低声吼叫), which gives the impression that they are dreaming. These things may let us wonder whether dogs dream. Scientists confirm that dogs probably do dream It turns out that dog brains and human brains have many similarities during sleep cycles. Researchers used special machines to measure electri
27、cal activity in a dogs brain and a humans brain Scientists already knew that when humans dream, a certain part of the brain is active during the sleep. Researchers discovered that the same part of the brain is active in sleeping dogs. Scientists have other data that back up these findings .Many peop
28、le dream that they are trying to move but cannot. Interestingly, part of that experience is not a dream. When people sleep, the brain produces a chemical that causes the dreamer to become temporarily paralyzed (麻痹的) Researchers think this happens so that people cannot physically act out dreams while
29、 they are sleeping. Dog brains make the same chemical. In one study during which this chemical was blocked, sleeping dogs performed physical activities, such as standing up, sniffing around the room for imaginary rabbits, or chasing imaginary balls. Because of these similarities, researchers believe
30、 that the contents of a dogs dream might come from the same source as a humans dream. Peoples dreams are usually based on things they did that day, says Dr. Samantha Hudspith. So we have reasons to believe that dogs dream about the things theyve done that day. Of course, there will never be a way to
31、 prove this. Dogs cannot describe their dreams the way that humans can. 32.What happened to a sleeping dog when this chemical mentioned in Paragraph 3 was cut off? A. It woke up.B. It stopped dreaming. C.It acted out its dream. D. It couldnt move its body.33. What can we learn from the passage?A.Onl
32、y humans dream.B.The contents of dogs dream are the same as those of humansC. The dogs shaking legs during the sleep mean that they must be dreaming.D. Whether dogs dream of the things theyve done that day cannot be confirmed. 34. Where is the passage most likely from? A.The guide. B. The diary C. T
