If you have, you probably noticed that cats narrow their eyes to vertical（垂直） slits（狭缝）, while sheep have horizontal pupils（瞳孔）. W

10、hy is the difference? Scientists from the Universities of California, Berkeley and Durham in Britain may have the answer. Their research, published recently in the journal Science Advances, suggested that pupils shapes could tell whether an animal is a hunter or gets hunted. The researchers took a c

11、lose look at the eyes of 214 land animals. The challenge was to see if they could find a relationship between an animals role in the food chain and the pupils shapes. They found a pattern. Species with pupils that are vertical slits are more likely to be small ambush predators（伏击捕食者）-creatures that

12、lie in wait for their lunch. In contrast, those with horizontal pupils are more likely to be plant-eating prey（猎食；被捕食者） species. Evolution chose the arrangement for a good reason. For hunters such as household cats, it appears that vertical pupils not only improve their ability to keep track of movi

13、ng objects like mice, but also maximize their ability to judge the distances of the animals they hunt. However, an interesting discovery from the study is that the slit pupils are mostly linked to hunters that are close to the ground. Therefore, bigger cats who actively hunt down their prey, like ti

14、gers and lions, dont have slit pupils. On the other hand, for plant-eating prey animals, horizontal pupils give them a wider field of vision. When stretched horizontally, the pupils allow for more light to enter from the front, back, and sides. Meanwhile, they also limit the amount of light from the

15、 sun above so the animal can see the ground better. Once they do detect a predator, they need to see where they are running, said leading researcher Martin Banks, a UC Berkeley professor of optometry（视光学）. They have to see well enough out of the corner of their eyes to run quickly and jump over thin

16、gs. But what happens when they bend down to eat? Researchers checked this by watching prey animals in the Oakland Zoo in California, US. They confirmed that when goats lower their heads to eat, their eyes rotate to keep their pupils horizontal. So it seems that the eyes are indeed the window to the

17、soul!21. What is the article mainly about?A. How animals keep track of moving objects.B. Why animals have evolved with different shaped pupils.C. How animals change their pupils shape when hunting for food.D. How the pupils shape influences an animals ability to detect a predator.22. According to th

18、e study, slit pupilsA. help to provide a wider field of vision.B. are more likely to belong to big predators.C. are more likely to belong to those to get hunted.D. provide the sharpest way to judge hunting distance.23. What can we conclude from the article about plant-eating prey animals?A. Their pu

19、pils allow more light to be received from both above and below.B. Their pupils are able to help them scan their surroundings for threats.C. Once they detect a predator, their eyes rotate to help them find where to run.D. When they lower their heads to eat, they narrow their eyes to vertical slits.B

20、One afternoon, after finishing shopping in a supermarket, my family and I went to the check-out. I suddenly thought we didnt need any of the junk, and we abandoned all of those, saving $300. That got me thinking about all our pointless expenses in life. With a promise that wed stop if it was killing

21、 us, I convinced the family to take the leap into frugality（节俭）. The rules were that we would buy nothing for 30 days except absolutely essentials. Our adventure began with a great start. By 9 a.m., my wife, Ruth, had already made cakes from old strawberries and picked flowers I didnt even know we h

22、ad in the garden. I cleared the car by hand for the first time for years. I read and returned the neighbors newspaper before he woke up. Total spending on the first day: $0. As days turned into weeks, we became so proficient（熟练的） at living frugally. We started riding our bikes to save gas. My childs

23、 finger painting was recycled as gift wrap for the home-made presents. We started to use an Internet application like Skype for free phone calls and ask neighbors with gardens for extra vegetables and herbs. In the end, we saved more than $2000 by not spending for a month. When we began, I imagined

24、we would rush out the moment we were done and buy a lot of things in the supermarket. Then maybe hit the mall or go to the movies.24. We can infer from the passage that before that very afternoon, the familyA. had had higher income and living standard.B. had adopted an advisable habit of saving mone

25、y.C. had often spent money without thinking much.D. hadnt expected they would have financial problems.25. How many things were mentioned about what the family did to save on the first day of the 30 days?A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Five.26. The end of the story suggests that the familyA. stopped ha

This passage is mainly aboutA. how a new idea came up. B. a familys way of solving life problems.C. afamilysno-buyingt

27、ry. D. how a family managed their daily life. CA recent study has found that the risk of dementia（痴呆） can increase if people live near a main road. According to the research, waste gas and noise from a busy road lead to one in ten dementia deaths of the 6.6 million patients investigated. Air polluti

28、on is already known to contribute to the deaths of around 40,000 people in Britain each year by worsening breathing and heart conditions, while previous research showed emissions（排放物） can cause brain shrinkage. But the new study by Canadian public health scientists is the first to find a link betwee

29、n living close to heavy traffic and the increasing of dementia, a discovery described as believable and impressive by British experts. Dr. Hong Chen said: Our study suggests that busy roads could be a source of environmental stressors that could give rise to the onset of dementia. Population growth

30、and urbanization have placed many people close to heavy traffic, and with widespread exposure to heavy traffic and growing rates of dementia, even a modest effect from near-road exposure could cause a large public health burden. More research to understanding this link is needed, particularly into the effects of different aspects of traffic, such as air pollutants and noise. In the new study, the team tracked all adults aged between 20 and 85 living in Ontario for more than a decade from 2001 to 201
