The tiny six-legged gardeners have partnered with those plants and about 11, 000 others to spread their seeds. The plants，in turn, “pay” for the se

29、rvice by attaching a calorie-loaded appendage (附属物) to each seed, much like fleshy fruits remunerate birds and mammals that desert seeds or poop (排泄) them out. But theres more to the ant-seed relationship than that exchange, researchers reported last week at the annual meeting of the Ecological Soci

30、ety of America, which was held online.Many ants eat seeds. Certain plants attach a nutritive globe called an elaiosome(油质体) to their seed coats, which serves as a favorite lunch for the ants young and gives ants a handle on seeds that can be bigger than their heads. Until now, researchers assumed th

31、e ants simply carry the seeds to their nests, feed the elaiosome to their young, and deposit the seed either outside or inside at the colonys “garbage dump”, which provides a rich environment for shooting.In both the field and the lab, Chelsea Miller presented ants with seeds from various trillium (

32、延龄花) species and found the ants were quick to pick up some species seeds while leaving others to rot, Miller said. To find out how ants make their choices, Miller and Susan Whitehead at the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University (Virginia Tech) used techniques to analyze the chemical ma

33、keup of elaiosomes. They found that ants pick seeds based on the specific combination and concentrations of acid and other compounds made by the plant, 20 of which are unique to trilliums. The ants tastes may affect plant species distributions, says Kirsten Prior, an ecologist at Binghamton Universi

34、ty: “Widespread trillium species are preferred by seed-dispersing ants compared to rare trillium species.”Melissa Burt, an ecologist at Virginia Tech, hopes these studies bring ants new respect. “Many people who talk about ants only know them as insects that are taking over their kitchens, but many

35、ants perform important functions in ecosystems,” she says. “Seed dispersal is just one of those.”28.What does the underlined word “remunerate” probably mean?A. Attract.B. Track. C. Free. D. Reward.29.What does the text say about “elaiosome” in paragraph 2?A. Its a tasty treat for young ants.B. Its n

To analyze the specific combination affecting the plant growth.B. To find out the reason for ants preferring some seed

37、s to others.C. To prove the accuracy of their lab techniques applied in the field.D. To understand the way of ants distributing different plant species seeds.31.What do most people think of ants according to Melissa?A. Annoying. B. Greedy. C. Creative. D. Hardworking.DWhen youre on a fishing boat, y

38、ou may see flocks of birds following in your track, hoping to catch a snack. Now scientists say they can use those birds behavior to track illegal fishing boats.Heres how it works: Researchers attached data recorders to the backs of 169 albatrosses (信天翁) in the Southern and Indian oceans. The device

39、s weighed only an ounce and a half, but they included a GPS and were able to detect the presence and intensity of radar signals coming from boats. That information was then transmitted by satellite, so the researchers could track the location of the birds and thus the radar-emitting boats in real ti

40、me.The scientists then cross-checked that data against the known locations of boats, gathered from a system that boats use to declare themselves, called the Automatic Identification System (AIS). And differences appeared frequently.More than a third of the times the birds recorders detected radar si

41、gnals, and therefore a boat, no such boat appeared in the official log (航海记录)meaning that the vehicles had likely switched off their Automatic Identification Systemssomething the researchers say probably happens in illegal fishing operations.The work suggests birds could be an effective boat-monitor

42、ing toolas long as illegal fishing operations dont target the birds. Fortunately, such a task would be difficult.“Around fishing vessels, you can get hundreds of birds at any one time that are all flying around. So its not really possible to target a specific bird. And the birds with recorders on ar

43、e not marked in any way. So its difficult for fishermen to pick out a specific bird, said study author Samantha Patrick, a marine biologist at the University of Liverpool.Patricks bigger concern is that albatrosses often get hooked on fishing lines. And though regulations have been established to pr

44、otect against that happeningwith successillegal boats dont necessarily obey. So scientists might be underestimating the risk posed to albatross populations. But this system could mean that those illegal boats may have a tougher time flying under the radar.32. What behavior of albatrosses can be used

45、 to track illegal fishing boats according to scientists?A. Seeking snacks on a boat.B. Following a boat to catch food.C. Monitoring the location of the boats.D. Keeping an eye open for illegal activities.33. Whats the purpose of data recorders attached to the backs of albatrosses?A. To carry a GPS.

46、B. To record the birds behavior.C. To help satellite transmit information. D. To detect radar signals from boats.34. Why do the fishing boats turn off their Automatic Identification Systems?A. They are probably fishing illegally.B. They neednt declare themselves.C. They dont want to emit radar signa

48、选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Dogs, more so than almost any other domestic pets, are desperate for human eye contact. 36 and according to a new study, that pull on the heartstrings might be exactly why dogs can give us those looks at all. 37 Studying the two animals is a bit like cracking open a four-legged time c

49、apsule. A paper published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences found that dogs faces are structured for complex expression in a way that wolves arent.For the study, a team looked at two muscles(the RAOL and LAOM muscles) that work together to widen and open a dogs eyes, causing the

50、m to appear bigger and more lovely, which we read as distinctly humanlike. The muscles for two short, straight lines, which connect the ring of muscle around a dogs eye to either end of the brow above. 38 Therefore, they concluded that the origin of these complex facial expressions is after dogs spl

51、itting from wolves. Research has also shown that when dogs work these muscles, humans respond more positively. This isnt simply a coincidental love story, in which the eyes of two species just so happen to meet across a crowded planet. 39 For a species to change quickly, a pretty powerful force must

52、 be acting on it. 40 .We connect more deeply with animals capable of making humanlike facial movements, so dogs have evolved to look like our own human babies to be selected for adoption.A. Dogs are similar to wolves.B. And thats where humans come in.C. Its hard for most people to resist the shining

Like the other best partnerships, this one is more likely the result of years of evolution. F. Researchers have long been interested in the ways dogs make eye contact with humans.G. Dogs spl
