10、 Jordan, a conservation biologist, has come up with a novel method for protecting cattle from African lions: paint eyes on their behinds. The lions will think their intended prey has seen them and will give up, since theyve lost the element of surprise.This psychological trickery has been called “iC

11、ow”, which is actually not as strange as it sounds. The eye-like patterns on butterfly wings are known to prevent preying birds and woodcutters in Indian forests wear masks on the backs of their heads when working to discourage hungry tigers.The inspiration for the iCow strategy came while Jordan wa

12、s based in a village in Botswana, when two lionesses were killed by local farmers to revenge their cattles death. The African lion is a vulnerable species, with numbers dropping from over 100,000 in the 1990s to about 30,000 today. Much of that decline is due to these kinds of revengeful killings be

13、cause farmers have no effective strategies for protecting their herds.“Lions are hunters that like to attack by surprise. They move slowly, quietly and carefully to their prey, get close and jump on them unseen,” he said. When Jordan was watching a lion follow an antelope one day, he noticed the lio

14、n gave up the hunt once the antelope spotted it.So he joined one of the local farmers on a 10-week trial study, painting eyes on one-third of a herd of 62 cattle. When the cattle returned each night, they took a head count to see how many had survived. Only three cows were killed by lions during thi

15、s period-all without the painted eyes on their behinds. And all the painted cows survived. However, Jordan warned that so far this is just a promising idea. He is now back in Botswana for a more ambitious study, armed with GPS devices to better monitor the movement of predators and prey.21. The iCow

16、 strategy is designed to .A. kill the lions B. warn the preys of dangerC. identify the cattle D. scare off animals that kill22. When hunting, lions like to .A. give up halfway B. hesitate to take actionC. chase their prey steadily D. launch surprising attacks23. What can be inferred from the passage

17、?A. The iCow strategy is likely to bring great benefit.B. In the 10-week trial study more cattle were killed.C. The farmers will take their revenge on more lions.D. Neil got inspiration from patterns on butterfly wings.BConformity involves changing your behaviour to “fit in” or “go along” with the p

18、eople around you. In some cases, this social influence might involve agreeing with or acting like the majority of people in a specific group, or involve behaving in a particular way to be viewed as “normal” by the group. Actually, conformity is something that happens regularly in our social world. S

19、ometimes were aware of our behaviour, but in many cases it happens without much thought or awareness on our parts. And even in some cases we go along with things we disagree with or behave in ways we know we shouldnt.There are countless examples of conformity in life. For instance, a teenager dresse

20、s in a certain style because he wants to fit in with the rest of the teenagers in his social group. A woman reads a book for her book club and really enjoys it. When she attends her book club meeting, the other members all dislike the book. Rather than go against the group opinion, she simply agrees

21、 with the others that the book is terrible.Why do we conform? In many cases, looking to the rest of the group for clues for how we should behave can actually be helpful. Others might have greater knowledge or experience than we do, so following their lead can actually be instructive. And in some cas

22、es, we conform to the expectations of the group to avoid looking foolish. This tendency can become especially strong in situations where we arent quite sure how to act. Additionally, there are some situations where we conform just in order to avoid punishments or gain rewards.There are many factors

23、that influence conformity. For example, not knowing how to perform a difficult task makes people more likely to conform. Personal characteristics such as motivation to achieve and strong leadership abilities are linked with a decreased tendency to conform. And people are more likely to conform in si

24、tuations that involve between three and five other people.24. What can we learn about conformity from the first paragraph?A. Actually it is rare for us to conform.B. Blind conformity should be criticized.C. Sometimes people tend to conform unconsciously.D. Conformity means changing your behaviour re

25、luctantly.25. Which of the following is a case of conformity?A. Joining a certain organization.B. Following the ongoing fashion.C. Sharing something personal with others.D. Giving up your creative ideas cautiously.26. When are we most likely to conform according to the text?A. When we are at a loss.

26、 B. When we are rejected.C. When we feel threatened. D. When we feel uncomfortable.27. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. Conformity cannot be avoided by anyone.B. Conformity is linked to the size of the group.C. Conformity is a natural response to challenges.D. Conformity isnt related

27、to individual differences.COver a decade ago, scientists already recognized the potential smart cloths with sensors (传感器) could improve well-being. Nowadays the industry is starting to target specific health conditions. One example is diabetes. Now, Siren Care has developed an injury-detecting sock

28、that could help people with diabetes prevent disability. Early detection is important in this process. Since skin ulcers (溃疡) are accompanied by a rise in temperature, studies show that detecting foot skin temperature at home could significantly reduce skin ulcers. Based on this, Siren produced a so

29、ck that can measure foot temperature in real time.Whats special about Sirens product is that the sensors exist in the fabric of the sock. The product is powered by “SirenSmart”, a kind of electronic yarn (纱线). They weave the yarn into a sock using ordinary weaving machines and connect the final prod

30、uct to a PCB battery, whose lifetime is two months if used daily. The socks are only on when theyre worn; they go into sleep mode when off.All data from the socks is sent to the Siren app using Bluetooth technology, so the user can know the condition of his/her feet in real time. The application giv

31、es foot health scores and, when necessary, warns the user to adjust activity or see a healthcare professional.Ran Ma, the companys CEO, explains the sock can tell the user when to see a doctor. The socks are machine-washable, and dont need to be charged. Every six months, the user gets a new box with seven pairs of socks to replace the used ones.Siren presented their product this year in Las Vegas and announced that theyre planning to start shipping their socks this summer. More excitingly, Siren is already planning future applications that will go beyond diabetes care. Anyway, as smart
