Flowers act as the insects air-traffic controllers. And new research shows bees prefer flowers that arent too flashy.Flowers give bees clues about how much a plant can offer. Those clues can be in the color of petals, in the type, in the smell or even in the electrical charge. All of these characteristics send signals to the bees, telling them whether to land or not, among which the colors play the most significant role. The insects keep track of the color of the flowers that are especially rich in nectar. They then visit more flowers of that color.However, color cant guarantee bees a good meal. It may change depending on the angle at which sunlight hits its petals. A yellow follower, for example, may look somewhat blue from one angle and red from another. Beverley Glover studies plants at the University of Cambridge in England. Glover and her colleagues showed that even when the color of petals looks similar, bees behave differently in searching for nectar. They started to guess that the strength of petals indescence (色彩斑斓) might be related to how bees find the petals.Glover and her colleagues tested their hypothesis in the lab. In their experiment, they found that bees felt confused sometimes when the petals were very iridescent and that bees had no problem finding the flowers with more nectar when the petals were not very iridescent. The team shared its new findings in the March 21 Current Biology.“At first glance, its very surprising because animals can usually detect a more vivid signal more easily,” says Klaus Lunau, a biologist in Germany, who was not involved in the study.8. What can we know about the flight of bees?A. They usually fly in a regular pattern.B. They fly under the direction of flowers.C. They usually fly without any purpose.D. They fly to some very flashy flowers.9. What is the most important clue for bees to search for nectar?A. The petals type.B. The followers smell.C. The followers electrical charge.D. The petals color.10. What does the underlined word “hypothesis” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?A. Discussion.B. Method.C. Assumption.D. Invention11. What is the new finding of the team?A. Petals that are not very flashy are better for bees to make adjustments.B. Petals of different color usually give different signals.C. Petals that are vivid are detected by bees more easily.D. Petals of different types make bees confused to find the right flower.DStudent loan (贷款) debt has become a worldwide problem. In America, the countrys overall student debt reached a record of $1.6 trillion in 2019. The average person with student loan debt owed between $20,000 and $25,000. A recent Japanese government report says it has been lending over $9 billion yearly to students since 2010. Similar conditions exist in Africa and South America.Several factors account for high student loan debt. One is that employers everywhere have increased their demands for skilled workers, making higher education a requirement for many jobs. The students, however, after graduation, often find that their countrys economy is not strong enough to support their financial needs, so their ability to pay back the loan becomes a problem.To solve the problem, many countries are seeking their ways. Australia has developed a system where students do not have to pay anything back until they are earning at least $40,000 a year. In America, several candidates running for president in the 2020 election have offered more extreme solutions that all or at least some of these loans will be forgiven.Some professors in several universities recently studied what the effects of debt forgiveness might be. They found that, overall, sudden debt relief greatly improved the borrowers lives. Not only did they have more money, but they were more likely to move to a new area and seek better paying work.Yet the professors research doesnt include what might happen to financial institutions or the overall economy if debt were totally forgiven. It only looks at how debt forgiveness would help the borrowers. They warn of some other possible negative effects. If a borrower knew that if he ran into any trouble he would be saved because he could get the debt relief, then he might actually become more reckless (轻率的) with his borrowing in the future.No matter what the professors agree that if countries do decide to approve some student debt relief the neediest students should be helped first.12. How does the author introduce the problem of student loan?A. By making a comparisonB. By making classifications.C. By presenting some statistics.D. By setting down general rules.13. What can we learn about student loan debt relief?A. It will surely provide some benefits to borrowers.B. It has already been carried out in the United States.C. It aims to encourage more students to borrow money.D. It will prevent a person from landing a well-paying job.14. What is the professors attitude to debt forgiveness?A. Uncaring.B. Positive.C. Disapproving.D. Cautious.15. Whats the main idea of the text?A. Student loan debt is the most serious problem worldwide.B. Growing global student debt fuels search for solutions.C. Student loan debt tends to pull the needy out of trouble.D. People hold different opinions on debt forgiveness.第二节 (共 5 小题;每小题 2 分，满分 10 分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 There are numerous benefits of reading good books._16_Whatever your field might be, its very important to create a good habit to read beyond your horizons.
