Growing up on the shores of Lake Huron in the Canadian province of Ontario, Robert
Berdan was never far from water. When he was in sixth grade, he received a toy micro-
scope for Christmas. Some of the first things he saw through its lens were tiny creatures
inside droplets he'd gathered from a local pond. He was fascinated with the microorgan-
isms.
After eighth grade, Berdan upgraded to a more sophisticated model and realized it was
a portal to another world. "The new microscope changed my life, "he says. "I could see so
much more. "He begar studying photography and buying cameras to fit on his microscope.
He captured images of ferns, mushrooms, and trees, and learned how to develop film. He
also developed his microscopy skills so much so that he earned a doctoral degree in cellu-
lar biology and spent five years running a lab at the University of Alberta in Edmonton.
But Berdan never forgot his two early passions - being immersed in nature and pho-
tographing its tiny details - and he decided to return to them. His subjects range from
snowflakes to spruce （） trees. To see the latter under a microscope, Berdan collects, a
small branch and wields specialized tools to shave off paper-thin slices, which he dyes red or
blue. For the final images, he often uses a process: called focus stacking, in which similar
photos with different focal planes are mixed together to achieve a more profound depth of
field, and he sometimes sews photos together to create views.
"I investigate anything that might have possibilities, he says. And he encourages others
to do the same with a microscope. "Any tool that amplifies our ability to see will enhance
our creativity, "h. notes. "Our observations can potentially lead to new discoveries and solu-
tions. "
24. What inspired Berdan to pursue his passion for microscopic photography?
A. Working in a cellular biology lab.
B. Earning a doctoral degree in cellular biology.
学科网（北京）股份有限公司C. Tiny microscopes from a local pond.
D. Childhood experiences near Lake Huron.
25. What is the main idea of the second paragraph?
A. Berdan's childhood experience with microscopes.
B. Berdan's reason for studying for a doctoral degree.
C. Berdan's transition from amateur to professional.
D. Berdan's hard work of running a lab in Edmonton.
26. What does the underlined word "amplifies" mean in the last paragraph?
A. Expands. B. Decreases. C. Mixes. D. Changes.
27. What can be inferred about Berdan's skill in microscopic. photography?
A. He has received formal training in photography and microscopy.
B. He mainly focuses on capturing images of various microscopes. .
C. He experiments with different ways to enhance the depth of field.
D. He is the most skilled biologist in capturing mushrooms and trees.

Mutual cooperation in which humans cooperate with wild animals is extremely rare.
One such system involves the greater honeyguide, a small African bird that leads humans
to sources of honey. Once a nest is found, the human honey hunters break into it to obtain
honey and bee worms, and the birds benefit from consuming beeswax in the now-exposed
honey comb. Both the birds and the humans use specialized sounds to communicate their
availability to participate in this cooperative interaction.
The two areas studied by Spottiswoode and Wood are northern Mozambique, where the
honey hunters are from the Yao cultural group, and northern Tanzania, where the honey
hunters are from the Hadza culture. The Yao communicate with honeyguides using a short
and high-pitched sound followed by a low sound "brrrrhm", whereas the Hadza use a
melodic whistle. Thus, signal and response both vary geographically.
Spotiswoode and Wood propose that the geographic variation they have identified in
this mutualism is the product of cultural codevelopment. To qualify as cultural, the coopera-
tive behaviors would have to be acquired through social learning from individuals of the
same species. Social learning, however, is less of a given on the honeyguide side. Instead,
学科网（北京）股份有限公司what is required of honeyguides is another form of vocal learning - comprehension learning
— in which the meaning of a signal is learned. Comprehension learning is common in
birds. Whether social learning is involved, however, is not so, obvious.
Honeyguides put in considerable effort helping their human partners find food and are
faithfully rewarded by being given food in return. In some human cultures, honey hunters
purposefully leave out honeycomb to reward honeyeaters, but in others the hunters. go, to
great length to deny the birds any reward, by collecting, burying, or burning any honey-
comb exposed when they destroy a nest. The reason given for these acts is that keeping the
birds hungry causes them to continue guiding.
A promising question for future research is whether geographic differences in human
cultural preferences for rewarding or not rewarding honeyguides affect the preferences of
individual birds for guiding versus taking advantage of the guiding of others.
28. What is the purpose of mentioning the two areas in Paragraph 2?
A. To show that honey hunting is very popular in their culture.
B. To explain that communication methods differ in geography.
C. To illustrate the differences between the Yao and the Hadza.
D. To show that birds can understand various human cultures.
29. Why do some hunters refuse to give honeyguides any prizes?
A. To let them realize human's power. B. To make them keep providing help.
C. To cause them to burn honeycomb. D. To use the honeycomb themselves.
30. What can be inferred about the relationship between humans and honeyguides?
A. Honeyguides have already had strong skills to learn from society.
B. Honeyguides have a genetic tendency to guide humans for honey.
C. Humans and honeyguides have a mutually beneficial relationship.
D. Human honey hunters will lose their jobs without honeyguides.
31. What is likely to be discussed in the following paragraph?
A. The impact of human cultural preferences on honeyguide behavior.
B. The further study on the cultural differences in human preferences.
C. The ecologically rewarding consequences of honeyguide behavior.
D. The influence of honeyguide behavior on human cultural practices.

until April 2024 and visitors are also being asked to vote for the People's Choice award,
which will be announced in April.
Maria Devaney, who manages galleries and exhibitions at Kew Gardens, said botanical
art is about inspiring curiosity and discovering the natural world. "It's been wonderful to
see such an enthusiastic response to the competition as a whole, "she said. Dr Shirley

In today's world, where the consequences of climate change are becoming increasingly
evident, the need for energy conservation has never been more pressing. 3 6 .
Use your laptop more than your desktop
Laptops use an average of 20 to 50 watts of electricity to run, whereas desktop com-
puters use an average of 60 to 200 watts of electricity to run. The reason for this is that
laptops run off of battery power and desktops are continuously plugged into a power source
that drains energy.

While charging, switch your phone to airplane mode, so that the phone does not slow
down the charging process by continually burning energy trying to connect with cell phone
towers and plot your location with its GPS function. When you switch to airplane mode

than a ringtone. 38 , therefore less energy consumption. And remember-unplug your
charger if not in use!
Unplug mobile phone and laptop chargers
Always unplug electronics and appliances when not in use. 3 9 . When the power
strip is left on, the devices plugged into it continue to use energy and actually increase
your energy usage. The Northern Resources Defense Council found that devices in sleep or
standby mode account for about one- quarter of all residential energy consumption.

could see the slopes cover in a blanket of white, which waited for us to overcoming them.
We eager rented our skis and snowboards and made our way to the beginner's slope. Some
