A
It’s a real case of fish out of water. Blennies (鲇鱼) in the South Pacific Ocean are gradually relocating to land to escape their predators (捕食者), in an example of evolution in action.
Fish first began crawling onto dry land about 400 million years ago, kicking off an evolutionary chain of events that led to humans. But their reasons for exiting the sea have been uncertain.
To look for clues, Terry Ord at the University of New South Wales in Australia has been studying several species of blennies at Rarotonga, the largest of the Cook Islands.
At low tide, blennies are commonly found swimming in rock pools around the edges of the island. But when high tide moves in, they climb up to dry land and move around the rocks until the tide retreats.
The researchers found that this is most likely to avoid predators that swim in with the rising tide – mainly bigger fish like lionfish.
To test what would happen if blennies did not have an escape plan, they made blenny models and sank them in the sea. The mimics ended up with wounds, bite marks and chunks-missing.
Of course, there are still dangers for blennies on land, like the occasional bird attack, but the predation risk on land is a third that of underwater.
What’s more, moving onto land has additional benefits for blennies. Holes in the rocks provide sheltered nests for laying eggs, and they can maintain their diet of bacteria.
In fact, several species of blenny fish at Rarotonga have already made the full transition to land-dwelling (陆生的) species. They continue to breathe with their gills, but have developed stronger tail fins and jump from rock to rock.
Ord believes that many evolutionary processes have been driven by the need to escape predators. “It is often assumed that animals move homes to find new sources of food, but in many cases, escaping predators is a stronger motivation.” he says.
1、Why do blennies climb to dry land when high tide comes?
A．To acquire better health. B．To search for more food.
C．To seek safer living conditions. D．To adapt to a new environment.
2、What does the underlined part “The mimics” in Paragraph 6 refer to?
A．The rocks in the water. B．The predators of blennies.
C．The researchers of blennies. D．The models of blennies.
3、What can be concluded from the last paragraph?
A．Ord’s research opens a new view.
B．Ord wonders why animals move homes.
C．Ord shows us the benefits of blennies’ evolution.
D．Ord has discovered how fish have become land dwellers.
4、Which of the following could be the best title for the text?
A．Blennies’ Living Habits
B．Why Blennies Choose to Live on Land
C．Blennies’ Evolutionary Process
D．How Blennies Escape from their Predators

B
THREE years ago Jenny Salgado, a Dominican shop assistant, moved to Highland town, a neighborhood of Baltimore. When she arrived the shop she works in, it was one of only a few Spanish businesses. Now there are many more. “It’s good now if you speak Spanish,” she smiles.
Baltimore has been losing people for 60 years. To address this, its mayor, Stephanie Rawlings-Blake, wants to make it the most immigrant-friendly city in the world. Its libraries provide Spanish-language exercise classes. To help those with no papers, the city is introducing micro-loans (小额贷款) which require no credit checks; city police would no longer routinely check the immigration status of citizens or enforce any federal immigration law unless required to. The then governor, Martin O’Malley made it possible for illegal immigrants to get driving licenses.
Such welcoming policies are spreading. Such cities as Cleveland, Dayton and Philadelphia all eagerly try to please immigrants. Rick Snyder, the governor of Michigan, has asked the federal government to offer 50,000 visas to people who agree to live in Detroit. His administration has made it easier for skilled migrants to get professional licenses.
When a city’s population falls, both tax receipts and services fall. Half-deserted neighborhoods breed (滋生) crime, driving yet more people to leave. No city has escaped this death circle without attracting new residents, says Steve Tobocman of Global Detroit.
Several studies suggest that when immigrants arrive, crime goes down, schools improve and shops open up. In Detroit, immigrants living near the tiny separate city of Hamtramck have formed local watches to guard against thieves. Their neighborhoods are not just safer; they are also among the only places where it is as easy to buy fresh vegetables as drugs and alcohol.
But attracting new immigrants to the cities which most need them is hard, argues Audrey Singer of the Brookings Institution. They care about the same things as everyone else: safe streets, good schools and jobs. Cities which have lost population for decades struggle with all of these.
1、What does the underlined word “address” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A．Account for. B．Deal with. C．Get rid of. D．Take away from.
2、What may happen when a half-deserted city makes efforts to attract new residents?
A．Credit card checks will be stricter. B．Immigrants’ identity will be protected.
C．The public services will get worse. D．The crime rate will decline.
3、Which of the following statements may Audrey Singer agree with?
A．Attracting immigrants to such cities as Detroit is demanding.
B．Immigrants have higher expectations of a city than its locals.
C．There is no need to encourage such immigrant-friendly policies.
D．Attracting immigrants helps prevent a city from losing population.
