It tuns out that all the people who are against rabbits have a point: Rabbits get sick all the time, and there are very few vets who specialize in their care. My years with rabbits have been full of feeding, hurried trips to the vet, sleepless nights and begging for advice on the Internet.Now that my animals are old and weak now, I clear their waste and clean their legs with a rabbit-friendly shampoo. I spend a lot of time on the floor, because although my rabbits are hard to satisfy socially, they also hate to be picked up.I am often asked the question: Why rabbits? Why not a dog, or a cat? I try to describe what it’s like to be with them. I had never felt a real duty towards anything until I had my rabbits.My answers never satisfy anyone. I’m not sure about the question, either it so often implies instrumental value, as if the correct reply might be “They make good companions” or “They’re nice to look at”. I don’t have the right kind of reason. I don’t believe in the use value of any living thing. Like humans, animals just are —that’s it. Usually we do not look at other people and think about how to make them work for us. Yet so much of our way of seeing the world is founded on the assumption that animals are meant to serve a purpose. This seems wrong.After all these years with my rabbits, the only thing I know is that there is no lesson to be learned or value to be acquired. There’s just an effort to be made, and as far as I’m concerned, that’s what life is.24. Why do people oppose keeping rabbits?A. It’s very boring.B. It costs a fortune.C. It’s rather demanding.D. It makes the house messy.25. Which word can be used to describe the author?A. Considerate.B. Knowledgeable.C. Sociable.D. Energetic.26. What is the meaning of the underlined sentence in paragraph 4?A. Animals should be treated differently.B. Animals shouldn’t be judged on some purpose.C. The value of animals shouldn’t be ignored.D. Humans should live in harmony with animals.27. What effect does raising rabbits have on the author?A. He keeps being true to himself.B. He reflects on his life more deeply.C. He learns to value others’ opinions.D. He realizes the meaning of life.CScientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology(MIT, 麻省理工学院) have turned spider webs into music — creating a strange soundtrack that could help them better understand how the spiders output their complex creations and even how they communicate.The MIT team worked with Berlin-based artist Tomas Saraceno to take 2D (two-dimensional) laser scans of a spider web, which were linked together and made into a mathematical model that could recreate the web in 3D in VR (virtual reality). They also worked with MIT’s music department to create the virtual instrument.“Even though the web looks really random, there actually a re a lot of inside structures and you can visualize them and you can look at them, but it’s really hard to grasp for the human imagination or human brain to understand all these structural details,” said MIT engineering professor Markus Buehler, who presen ted the work on Monday at a virtual meeting of the American Chemical Society.Listening to the music while moving through the VR spider web lets you see and hear these structural changes and gives a better idea of how spiders see the world, Buehler told CNN. “Spiders use vibrations(振动) as a way to locate themselves, to communicate with other spiders and so the idea of thinking really like a spider would experience the world was something that was very important to us as spider material scientists,” he said.Spiders are able to build their webs without shelves or supports, so having a better idea of how they work could lead to the development of advanced new 3D printing techniques. “The reason why I did that is that I wanted to be able to get information real ly from the spider world, which is very weird and mysterious,” Buehler explained. In addition to the scientific value, Buehler said the webs are musically interesting and that you can hear the sounds the spider creates during construction. “It’s unusual and eerie and scary, but finally beautiful,” he described.28. What have MIT scientists done according to the passage?A. They have known how spiders communicate.B. They have translated spider webs into sounds.C. They have created a soundtrack to catch spiders.D. They have made a mathematical model to produce webs.29. What can we know about spider webs from paragraph 3?A. Their structures are beautiful and clear.B. They are complex for people to figure out.C. Professor Markus Buehler knows them well.D. The American Chemical Society presents the result.30. In which field will the study be helpful?A. Printing.B. Virtual reality.C. Painting.D. Film-making.31. What is the main idea of the passage?A. It explains why scientists did the experiment.B. It tells us that the music created by spiders is scary.C. It presents a new and creative way to study spiders.D. It shows how the researchers carry out the experiment.DNearly gone are the days when humans covered themselves with blankets to keep warm, and it’s now the age of covering glaciers with blankets to keep them cool because at the rate climate is changing, which seems like a very workable idea to keep them from melting.At a ski resort(度假胜地) in the Swiss Alps, the Swiss use blankets to protect the glacier from the warm climate. Gian Darms, who handles snow conditions at the ski resort, introduced this unique procedure. The blankets are being used to cover the top of the 10,623-foot Mount Titlis whose glacier has already melted in the last fewdecades and it is expected to disappear completely in the next 50 years due to global warming.Facing the great effect of climate change, resort employees have taken it upon themselves to protect the glacier from the heat and for this process, they spend about five to six weeks every summer covering parts of the glacier with specially protective wool. This helps to reflect the Sun’s energy back into the atmosphere and prevent the glacier from melting, while also preserving the already fallen snow on the glacier in the previous winter season. After the season passes, the employees remove the coating and fill in the gaps in the glacier’s surface with the snow — now that is some commitment to Mother Nature!This practice has been going on for a while now and the area of the glacier has increased to almost 100,000 square meters now. “We’ve been covering more and more in the last few years. Almost 30,000 square meters more is covered this year alone,” said Darms.The ski resort’s actions show how seve re the effect of climate change is on glaciers which have been melting at rapid rates in the past few years. Many different resorts have also started following suit to try to prevent them from melting. Saving an entire glacier is a completely different story. It is actually costly and potentially unfavorable to surrounding ecosystems. As a result, such blankets have only been applied mostly in an effort to preserve profitable ski runs.32. How is the topic introduced?A. By giving an example.B. By analyzing causes.C. By making a comparison.D. By describing a process.33. What does the underlined word “that” refer to in paragraph 3?A. Coating the glacier with special wool.B. Saving the glacier at the ski resort successfully.C. Taking action to slow down climate change.D. Using collected snow for the glacier’s openings.34. What is the author’s attitude towards the future of global glaciers?A. Opposed.B. Worried.C. Indifferent.D. Skeptical.35. What’s the best title for the text?A. Resort Cools Its Glacier with BlanketsB. Global Warming Threatens GlaciersC. Blankets Cover an Entire GlacierD.
