Have you heard the latest buzz (蜂鸣) Bumblebees have. According to a new study, trends can pass through a bumblebee colony (族群) as bees watch and copy one another’s behavior. This means the bees have a culture, which is a set of shared behaviors animals learn from one another. People once thought humans were the only species to develop cultures, but some animals have also been found to have this ability.
A research team from the UK set up puzzle boxes that offered a sweet-tasting reward when opened. “Demonstrator” (演示者) bees were taught to open the boxes by pushing a red tab or a blue tab. Some “Observer” (观察者) bees saw the demonstrator bees open the boxes, while other bees were not allowed to watch before trying to open the boxes themselves.
The group of bees that had watched a demonstrator were able to open the puzzle boxes about 28 times a day, while the other group opened them only once a day. The observer bees almost always used the same method as the demonstrators did. For example, those who watched a bee open a box using the red tab almost always pushed the red tab as well.
“Some of them would play around with the box and find another way but they still would return really strongly to the demonstrator’s preferred behavior,” Alice Bridges, the lead author of the study, told The Washington Post. She said the bees were developing “a local trend”.
Even when the researchers allowed groups of bees to see both methods, each group soon developed its own trend. A skill was passed along as new bees learned from more experienced bees. After several days, one colony came to prefer the “blue method” while the other almost always chose the “red method”.
“The fact that bees can watch and learn, and then make a habit of that behavior, adds to the fact that they are far smarter creatures (生物) than a lot of people have thought,” said study co-author Lars Chittka.

A.By introducing some rules.
B.By listing a lot of numbers.
C.By mentioning achievements in others’ studies.
D.By making comparisons in different experiments.

C.A set of shared behaviors. D.The red method.

Most of us travel with our parents as children and teenagers. For some of us, during the travel, our parents are our inspiration. These trips are normally full of rental cars, beaches, and hamburgers. My family would go to Galiano island every summer, and we did a week in Mexico in 1995, and then we did two different trips to Anaheim to experience the magic of Disney, Universal, and Knott’s Berry Farm.
But all of these are childhood experiences and memories. I didn’t really truly travel with my parents until I was an adult when I got the chance to travel with mom and dad.
I was in New Zealand for a study abroad, and invited my parents to come down for a 2-week road trip around the North Island and then 10 days in Fiji. Why not They said, as if this was something they were invited to do every day. I didn’t really plan anything, but my mom had done some reading and I knew some highlights after living in New Zealand for 5 months.
I had booked a hotel for their first night in Auckland. The only other preparation I had done was to book a rental car. My parents immediately reached an agreement that I should be the driver, for the whole two weeks. The main reason for this, understandably, was that neither of them had ever been in a country where you drive on the left-hand side of the road and on the right-hand side of the car. This led to me driving my parents around the entire North Island of New Zealand for 2 weeks! But still, everybody had jobs. Dad had the maps, and mom had the guidebook, and I just took them where they told me to go.
Sometimes, I was asked who I was traveling with. When I said “my parents”, the response was, “Ohhh, older people.” In fact, I have some tips on travelling with parents happily.
29.Which does the underlined word “inspiration” in Paragraph.1 mean
A.Cooks. B.Guides. C.Drivers. D.Translators.
30.Why did the parents let the writer drive the car in New Zealand
A.They were not used to the driving rules.
B.They were afraid of the mountain roads.
C.They were too old to drive for a long time.
D.They were busy reading the maps and guidebook.
31.What is the best title for the passage
A.Drive on the Way. B.Travel with Parents.
C.Enjoy New Zealand. D.Remember the Childhood.
32.What will the writer share next
A.The holidays with parents. B.The memory in Fiji as a child.
C.The scene during the road trip. D.The advice on outing with parents.

In the largest observational study to date on “superagers”—people in their 80s who have brains as sharp as those 30 years younger—researchers in Spain found key differences in lifestyle that may contribute to these older adults’ sharp minds.
Superagers in the study had more gray matter (灰质) in parts of the brain related to movement, and they scored higher on flexibility, balance and mobility (行走能力) tests than typical older adults—even though the physical activity levels of the two groups were the same. “Though superagers report similar activity levels to typical older people, it’s possible they do more physically demanding activities like gardening or stair climbing,” said senior author Bryan Strange, director of the Laboratory for Clinical Neuroscience at the Technical University of Madrid, in a statement.
“From lower blood pressure and obesity levels to increased blood flow to the brain, there are many direct and indirect benefits of being physically active that may contribute to improved cognitive abilities in old age.” The study, published on Thursday in The Lancet Healthy Longevity journal, followed 64 superagers and 55 cognitively normal older adults who were part of the Vallecas Project, a long-term research project on Alzheimer’s in Madrid (马德里的老年痴呆症). In a series of tests, the study found the Spanish superagers scored lower than typical older adults in levels of depression and anxiety. Mental health issues such as depression are known risk factors for developing dementia(痴呆).
Superagers also told researchers they had been more active in midlife, had been happy with the amount of sleep they got, and were independent in their daily living. Poor sleep is a key risk factor for cognitive decline. “This study adds to what we already know—superaging isn’t just the ability to perform well on a cognitive test,” said Angela Roberts, an assistant joint professor of communication and computer science at Western University in London, Ontario, in an email.
33.What can we infer from Paragraph 2
A.Physical activities affect the brain composition (构成) of superagers.
B.Superagers and typical older adults have similar activity levels.
C.Physically activities like gardening or stair climbing are demanding.
D.Superagers’ brain structure is different from that of typical older adults.
34.What can we learn from the study published in The Lancet Healthy Longevity journal
A.The study focuses on mental health of the subjects.
B.The study finds the relationship between depression and dementia.
C.Cognitive abilities in old age may be improved by physical activities.
D.Superagers are more likely to develop dementia than typical older adults.
35.What may the follow-up study focus on
A.The relationship between sleep and cognition.
B.The relationship between midlife and cognition.
C.The relationship between activity level and cognition.
D.The relationship between independence and cognition.
36.What can we know from Angela Roberts’ words
A.She is good at cognitive tests.
B.She knows little about superaging.
C.Superagers are more active in old age life.
D.Superagers scored high in many aspects.
四、还原句子(共4小题;每小题1.5分,满分6分)
阅读下面短文从短文后所给的六个选项中选出四个可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
Sleep is very important to human life. We can live longer without food than without sleep. Most people spend about a third of their life sleeping. 37 While the average (普通的) person sleeps about seven hours a night, some people can manage with as few as four hours. We don't all need the same amount of sleep.
We all know that sleep is good for us, but what are the benefits (益处) 38 Without enough sleep, our body cannot fight off colds as easily. Our sleep patterns (模式) can also influence our diet. Researchers discovered that people who sleep badly often eat more high-calorie foods and put on more weight.
39 Many reports have shown that children who get a good night’s sleep do better at school. Clearly, one reason for this is that if we are very tired we cannot focus (集中注意力). However, there is another important reason. Scientists believe that sleep is important for our memory.
While we are asleep, our brain (大脑) deals with information we have learnt and sleep helps strengthen our memories.
Another important part of sleep is our body clock. Generally, our body clock tells us to sleep when it is dark and wake when it is light. 40 Some scientists believe that teenagers are not lazy, but biologically programmed to go to bed later and wake up later.
A.One benefit is that it helps us to prevent illness.
B.Deep sleep only takes up 25% of the total sleep time.
C.Most people seldom think about how and why they sleep.
D.Sleep also plays a role in how well we do at school and at work.
E.That means during our life we will spend about twenty-six years sleeping.
F.However, young people's body clocks change when they become teenagers.

书馆借”,at a time“一次”。故填how many books I can borrow from the library at a time。
