This behavior is interesting to scientists, who wonder how ants know for sure — and so soon — that another ant is dead.One scientist recently came up with a way to explain this ant behavior. Dong Hwan Choe is a biologist. Choe found that Argentine ants have a chemical on the outside of their bodies that signals to other ants, “I'm dead — take me away.”But there's a twist to Choe's discovery. Choe says that the living ants— not just the dead ones — have this death chemical. In other words, while an ant crawls around, perhaps in a picnic or home, it's telling other ants that it's dead.What keeps ants from dragging away the living ants? Choe found that Argentine ants have two additional chemicals on their bodies, and these tell nearby ants something like, “Wait — I'm not dead yet.”So Choe's research turned up two sets of chemical signals in ants: one says, “I'm dead.” the other set says, “Wait — I' m not dead yet.”Other scientists have tried to figure out how ants know when another ant is dead. If an ant is knocked unconscious, for example, other ants leave it alone until it wakes up. That means ants know that unmoving ants can still be alive. Many scientists think there must be a chemical on a dead ant's body.Choe suspects that when an Argentine ant dies, the chemical that says “Wait —I'm not dead yet” quickly goes away. Once that chemical is gone, only the one that says “I'm dead” is left. When other ants detect the “dead” chemical without the “not dead yet” chemical, they drag away the body.Understanding this behavior may help scientists figure out how to stop Argentine ants from invading new places and causing problems. Choe would like to find a way to use the newly discovered chemicals to spread ant killer to Argentine ant nests.The ants' removal behavior is important to the overall health of the nest. “Being able to quickly remove dead individuals and other possible sources of disease is extremely important to all animals living in societies, including us，” says Choe.“Think about all the effort and money that we invest daily in waste management.”1. The underlined word “twist” in Paragraph 3 means ______.A. an unexpected changeB. a clear mistakeC. an important keyD. a shocking conclusion2. Ants judge whether another one is dead or not depending on ______.A. the sense of tasteB. the sense of touchC. the sense of smellD. the sense of sight3. The result of the research can be used to ______.A. kill troublesome pestsB. solve the problem of endangered speciesC. prevent invasive species in advanceD. keep the balance of nature4. Why is it important to remove dead individuals?A. Because it is easier to manage the living.B. Because it can save money to deal with the waste.C. Because it can provide more space for the living.D. Because it can keep the living from suffering disease.5. What might be the best title of the text?A. Dead or living? It is easy to judgeB. Pulling away the dead ants is a difficult taskC. Ant nests have great undertaking capacityD. Leaving it alone or taking it away? Ants feel puzzledⅣ. 写作(25 min.)(原创)生活中，我们总是有这样或那样的负担。

(2018·河北定州中学调研)Plastic bags are a popular container in much of the world,but they are also a major source of pollution which need hundreds of years to break down,and as theydo,tiny pieces can poison soil,lakes,rivers and oceans.So,environment experts urge people to reuse and recycle plastic bags.Maryland artist Allita Irby just does so.It all starts with the morning newspaper,and the plastic bag that the paper comes in.The mixed media artist recognized its rich possi bilities three years ago.“As I was taking the newspaper out,I felt the texture(质地) of these bags.I just looked down and realized it takes three to make a braid(发辫).I’ll just put a few main materials in just to make it strong enough.” Since then,Irby has be en using plastic bags to create abstract lines in her art works.Before using plastic bags in her pieces,Irby used natural materials like feathers,leather and dried plants,all of which contain elements that represent her Native American ancestry and identi ty,like her piece called “Navaho Bundles”.“I was making a hair style,a Navaho hair style when the hair was heavy and it was looped back on itself.I took the piece and looped it back onto itself and secured it with a tie.Ms.Irby’s neighbors praise her abil ity to turn wastes into treasure.Some people,like Charlotte Hogan,asked the artist to teach them how to create art from used plastic bags.Aleta Meyer expressed surprise,“ I’ve never given any more thought to what to do with a plastic bag.This is definitely different.” Shirley Watts plans to show others her art.“I want to make a masterpiece that I can put in a frame and put it on my wall and then I know that I did it,” she said.Allita Irby says anyone can do it and all you have to do is open your eyes and bring the outside in.1.What is the first paragraph written to offer?A.The conditions of making plastics.B.The background of the story.C.The reason for using plastics.D.The importance of plastic bags.2.What can we learn about Allita Irby?A.She will never use plastic bags herself.B.She pays much attention to her hair style.C.She was born in a Native American family.D.She only uses plastics to make art works now.3.What do you know about Allita Irby’s art works before she used plastic bags?A.They are similar to Navaho hair styles.B.They are actually tools used in daily life.C.They offer Irby the inspiration to recycle plastic bags.D.They are made of natural materials.4.What do Allita Irby,Charlotte Hogan,Aleta Mryer and Sjirley Watts have in common?A.They live in the same neighborhood.B.They are all mixed media artists.C.They are active in protecting the environment.D.They learn art from the same master.〚导学号23500050〛Ⅱ.完形填空In our modern world,when something wears out,we throw it away and buy a

2014高考英语真题全国卷2 阅读理解试题及答案详解：环境问题Since the first Earth Day in 1970, American have gotten a lot "greener" toward the environment. "We didn't know at that time there even was an environment, let alone that there was a problem with it," says Bruce Anderson, president of Earth Day USA.But what began as nothing important in public affairs has grown into a social movement. Business people, political leaders, university professors, and especially millions of grass-roots Americans are taking part in the movement. "The understanding has increased many, many times," says Gaylord Nelson, the former governor from Wisconsin, who thought up the first Earth Day.According to US government reports, emissions(排放) from cars and trucks have dropped from 10.3 million tons a year to 5.5 million tons. The number of cities producing CO beyond the standard has been reduced from 40 to 9. Although serious problems still remain and need to be dealt with, the world is a safer and healthier place. A kind of "Green thinking" has become part of practices.Great improvement has been achieved. In 1988 there were only 600 recycling programs; today in 1995 there are about 6,600. Advanced lights, motors, and building designs have helped save a lot of energy and therefore prevented pollution.Twenty-five years ago, there were hardly any education programs for environment. Today, it's hard to find a public school, university, or law school that does not have such a kind of program. "Until we do that, nothing else will change!" say Bruce Anderson. (249 words)1. According to Anderson, before 1970, Americans had little idea about .A.the social movementB.recycling techniquesC.environmental problemsD.the importance of Earth Day2. Where does the support for environmental protection mainly come from?A.The grass-roots level.B.The business circle.ernment officials.D.University professors.3. What have Americans achieved in environmental protection?A.They have cut car emissions to the lowest.B.They have settled their environmental problems.C.They have lowered their CO levels in forty cities.D.They have reduced pollution through effective measures.4. What is especially important for environmental protection according to the last paragraph?cation.B.Planning.C.Green living.D.CO reduction.答案与解析：1.

The rate is two or three times faster than when it was lastmeasured in 2003.“The climate is shifting everything towards the north and higher latitudes，”says Chris Thomas，the author on the paper and a professor at the University of York in the United Kingdom. “Animals，plants and insects closer to the equator are starting to find it too hot and are retreating upwards. ”The study was an analysis covering 764 species moving north or south depending on which hemisphere(半球)they were in. Although each species moved at different rates and some even moved towards the equator，overall the strong trend was towards the poles.For the most part，it’s not that animals are walking，hopping or winging their way north，Thomas says. Rather，individuals at a species’ southernmost range are breeding(繁殖)less successfully while individuals in that same species’ northernmost range are breeding more successfully. The result is that the entire species moves up.“Ther e is practically no basis to doubt the fact that species are shifting as a function of rapidly changing climate. ” says Jeremy Kerr, a professor of biology at the University of Ottawa in Canada, who did not participate in the study. One species Kerr studies is the bog copper, a beautiful little butterfly that appears to practically be on an expressway to the North Pole. It has moved more than 90 miles north in the past decade.For farmers，what crops they grow and livestock they keep is alsobeginning to shift, says Philip Thornton，an agricultural economist in Nairobi，Kenya. In Africa，small farms are changing the kinds of animals they keep. In Northern Kenya，there is a move in some places away from the traditional cattle to camels，which are more drought resistant；the price of adult camels there is increasing quite rapidly. (367W)1.
