Most people agree that honesty is a good thing. But does Mother Nature agree? Animals can't talk, but can they lie with their bodies and behavior? Animal experts may not call it lying, but they do agree that many animals behave dishonestly to fool other animals. Dishonesty often helps them survive(生存).

Many kinds of birds are very successful at fooling other animals. A bird called the plover sometimes pretends(假装)to be hurt in order to protect its young. When an enemy gets close to its nest, the plover pretends to have a broken wing. The enemy follows the "hurt" adult, leaving the baby birds safe.

Another kind of bird, the scrub jay, buries (埋)its food so it always has something to eat. Scrub jays also steal food. They watch where others bury their food and steal it. But clever scrub jays seem to know when others are watching them. So they get back later, unbury the food, and bury it again somewhere else.

Chimpanzees can also be sneaky. After a fight, the losing chimpanzee will give its hand to the other. When the winning chimpanzee puts out its hand, too, the chimpanzees are friendly again. But an animal expert once saw a losing chimpanzee take the winner's hand and start fighting again. When chimpanzees find food, it's natural for them to cry out. Then other chimpanzees come running. But some clever chimpanzees learn to cry very softly when they find food. That way, other chimpanzees don't hear them, and they don't need to share the food.

(1) Why does the plover pretend to be hurt? A. To show its friendliness. B. To save its young. C. To catch the enemy.
(2) What do clever scrub jays do with their food? A. They bury the food deep. B. They watch the food. C. They bury the food twice.
(3) What will the chimpanzee probably do after crying softly? A. It will eat all the food it finds. B. It will share the food with others. C. It will fight again with the winner.
(4) According to Paragraph 4, in which picture can we find a sneaky animal? A. B. C.
(5) What is the best title of the passage? A. Do animals lie? B. Honesty or dishonesty? C. How do animal protect lives?

Warming temperatures and shorter winters might sound like the end of snow days. However, rising temperatures may actually cause snowstorms to dump more snow, says David Robinson. He is a professor at a university in New Jersey. He studies climate (气候) change. 

Temperature change is one of the greatest in Earth' s climate change over a long period of time. It can happen naturally or because of human activities, such as burning gas and coal. Burning these fuels produces carbon dioxide (二氧化碳) and other pollutants into the atmosphere, which hold heat in the atmosphere, leading to warmer global temperatures over time. 

But how could warmer temperatures lead to more snow? To get snow, you need moisture (水汽) and freezing temperatures (0℃ or less), says Robinson. Without moisture in the air, there is no precipitation (rain or snow). Robinson says there are signs that snowstorms are becoming stronger. This is because of this connection between moisture and precipitation. 

" The warmer the air becomes, the more moisture it holds. So, if it' s warming and still cold enough to snow, you can get more snow, " Robinson says. 

Of the 10 biggest snowfalls in D. C. region, five happened in the past 25 years, according to the NWS. During that same time period, average winter temperatures in D. C. increased. In 1996, the average winter temperature was 1. 8℃. In 2020, it was 6℃. 

Weather experts suggest that rising temperatures may make winter shorter and less cold. But for now, the snow is still falling. One day, winter might not have any days below the freezing temperature. Once temperatures stay above freezing, snowstorms become rain. Until then, we might continue to see strong storms. 

According to Robinson, that time could come sooner than we think. He says, " When we look back, years from now, we may see that this was the breaking point. " 

(1) What is paragraph 2 mainly about?  A. How Earth' s climate changes. B. What causes rising temperatures. C. What produces carbon dioxide. D. How pollution influences climate.
(2) What will the warming temperatures cause according to the text?  A. Less coal. B. Drier weather. C. Longer winters. D. Stronger snowstorms.
(3) What is the purpose of paragraph 5?  A. To introduceD. C. B. To report the biggest 10 snowstorms. C. To support Robinson' s ideas. D. To show the increase of temperatures.
(4) What does Robinson think of the future warming temperatures?  A. Impossible. B. Serious. C. Meaningless. D. Amazing.
(5) Where is the text probably taken from?  A. A science magazine. B. A story book. C. A science fiction. D. A travel guide.

    Why are you study habits different from those of your friends? Why do you seem to learn faster in some classes while more slowly in others? One reason you may not know is that people have different types. Scientists say there are three different learning types: Visual(视觉型), Auditory(听觉型), and Kinesthetic (动觉型).

    Visual learners learn best by seeing. If you seem to easily remember information from pictures, graphs(图表), and videos, you are probably a visual learner. You're not good at copying down what the teacher says in class. Never mind. You can draw graphs or pictures instead, if you find that works better for you.

    Auditory learners learn best by hearing. If you seem to easily remember things by hearing them, then you are probably an auditory learner. You must listen carefully while the teacher is speaking because it's the easiest way for you to learn . Sometimes you may find that taking notes tops you from listening carefully. After class, you can write down what you remember or borrow your friend's notes to copy.

    Kinesthetic learners learn best by doing. If you seem to learn best by working with your hands, you are probably a kinesthetic learner. Taking notes by writing can make you pay close attention to information as you receive it. Of course, you can learn best by making full use of labs or other class activities.

    Hope you learn better by knowing what your personal learning type is.

(1) There are ___________ different learning types according to the passage. A. two B. three C. four D. five
(2) Jude can remember the words of a song quickly by listening to it once or twice. She might be a /an ____________ according to the passage. A. auditory learner B. visual learner C. strange leaner D. usual learner
(3) Kinesthetic learners learn best by ____________. A. Remembering information from videos B. listening teachers in class C. drawing graphs or pictures D. doing things with their hands
(4) The best title of this passage may be "____________". A. Study Habits B. Ways to study C. Learning types D. Reasons to learn

    If you walk along the River Thames, there are lots of interesting buildings to see. Running through the heart of London, there are also many galleries, markets, shops and activities to keep you busy along its banks. You will also see a strange round building. It looks very old and very different from all the others, This is Shakespeare's Globe Theatre (莎士比亚环球剧场).

    The Globe Theatre was first built here in 1599. William Shakespeare was one of the most famous writers that ever lived. His plays were performed in the theatre for many years. However, in 1613, a fire broke out during a performance. The theatre was destroyed (毁坏), but the second was built the following year. It remained a theatre until 1644, and then it was pulled down to build houses. The modern (and also the third) Globe Theatre was completed in 1997, over 350 years later. This was done to honor Shakespeare, the most famous English writer. To this day, his many plays are performed there daily. He wrote around thirty-eight plays. They are comedies (funny stories), histories (about historical events and people), and tragedies (serious and sad stories). People come from all over the world to watch them at the Globe Theatre. They are performed in exactly the same way as they were hundreds of years ago.

    The building is round and made mostly of wood. There are simple seats on three different levels all around the sides. Everyone can see the stage (舞台). However, there is no roof (屋顶) in the middle! The cheapest tickets are standing tickets. You stand in the middle, right in front of the actors, but if it rains, you will get wet!

(1) When was the second Globe Theatre built? A. In 1599. B. In 1613. C. In 1614. D. In 1997.
(2) What can we know about Shakespeare according to the second paragraph? A. Shakespeare was one of the most famous French writers. B. Many of his plays are performed daily in the modern Globe Theatre. C. His plays are performed in a different way from they were hundreds of years ago. D. He wrote thirty-eight plays that were all about historical events and people.
(3) What does the last paragraph mainly tell us? A. The inside structure (结构) of Shakespeare's Globe Theatre. B. The history of Shakespeare's Globe Theatre. C. The opening time of Shakespeare's Globe Theatre. D. The three types of tickets that you can choose.
(4) Which of the following statements about the modern Globe Theatre is TRUE? A. It has remained there for over 350 years. B. The round building looks old and strange. C. It is made mostly of wood and has a round roof in the middle. D. If we buy the cheapest tickets in the theatre, we will be farthest from the stage.
