Birds don’t have very large brains, but they are super clever!
Recently, researchers in New Jersey discovered the Cooper’s Hawk (库珀鹰) can understand how to use human
traffic rules to hunt, so that they hunt more easily and successfully. This was discovered by Vladimir Dinets, who is
both an animal expert and a mathematician, and his research was published on May 23, 2025, in Frontiers in Animal
Behavior. Other studies have pointed out that birds often use human buildings and vehicles(机动车) to help them
hunt, but recognizing traffic lights is a first.
In the winter of 2021, Dinets saw a young Cooper’s Hawk standing in a tree near the traffic lights. It flew low
with the cover of stopped cars, and disappeared into the front yard across the street. A moment later, it reappeared,catching a sparrow (麻雀). This hunt left a deep impression on Dinets. It seemed to know when the traffic light was
red.
Through continued observation (观察), Dinets believes it recognized traffic lights through the buzzing sound
when the red light was on at a certain time. Also, the hawk knew that sparrows would be at a certain house because
the owner put out rubbish every day. So, the hawk used the cars which lined up to get close to the sparrows without
being seen, making it easier to catch them.
This is more difficult than imagined.
The Cooper’s Hawk can’t see its prey (猎物) from the tree. So it has to remember the surroundings (环境) and
work out its way. Also, it has to know that some buzzing sounds have something to do with traffic lights. This behavior
must come from careful calculations (计算), a great memory, and complex (复杂的) thinking skills. In a word, to
have this hunting skill needs a lot of intelligence (智力).
Maybe other animals can do the same, but this Cooper’s Hawk is the first wild animal they’ve discovered. These
birds fly through here when migrating (迁徙) in summer and winter. This means the Cooper’s Hawk probably learned
to do this in just a few days or weeks.
Finally, Dinets also saw a Cooper’s Hawk hunting in the same manner the following winter(2022), and he
believes it is the same hawk, now an adult. However, in the summer of the year after that, the sound signal from the
streetlight was gone, the people living there moved away, and there were no longer any sparrows there. From then
on, until the article was published, Dinets never saw the Cooper’s Hawk nearby again.
6. What did the Cooper’s Hawk use to judge the traffic lights?
A. Traffic lights’ colours. B. The surroundings.
C. The stopped cars. D. The buzzing sound.
7. In which sentence does “cover” have the same meaning as the underlined “cover”?
A. A dust cover hung over the painting.
B. I read the magazine from cover to cover.
C. The boys used the shop as a cover for hide-and-seek.
D. Once the forest cover is destroyed, rains wash away the soil.
8. How does the writer support the idea “This is more difficult than imagined”?
A. By offering examples. B. By giving numbers.
C. By making comparisons. D. By presenting facts.
9. What do we know about the Cooper’s Hawk?
A. It is the first wild animal to use buildings to hunt.
B. It caught its prey with the help of the house owner.C. It may learn the hunting skill in a short period.
D. It appeared for the last time on May 23, 2025.
10. Which is the best title of the passage?
A. A discovery about the Cooper’s Hawk
B. Traffic lights’ role in directing hunting
C. The influence of human life on animals
D. The value of scientific research to nature
C
Carl Allamby started his auto repair business at the age of 19. Over the years it had grown into two shops with
11 employees, but Allamby started to expect something more. At first, he thought it must have something to do with
growing his business even further. So, at the age of 34, Allamby enrolled (注册) in a bachelor’s degree (学士学位)
in business management.
There was one problem: after taking classes part-time over the next five years, Allamby was told he had to take a
biology course to get his degree. “Why do I need to take biology?” he thought.
However, the best influence of this requirement is that it restarted his childhood dream. “I wanted to be a doctor
when I was younger,” Allamby says. “I lost that dream somewhere through high school and life.” He grew up in a
poor neighbourhood, and his school didn’t offer the advanced science classes. So he had no chance to study at medical
school. Instead, Allamby set aside thoughts of becoming a doctor, and chose a realistic career path—fixing cars,
which helped support his family.
But at age 39 a different Carl Allamby walked into that biology class. He was ready to live his dream. With the
support of his wife and family, he quickly chose not to go to business school and instead took science classes to
become a healthcare worker. “Becoming a doctor when I am nearly 50 was crazy. I will become a nurse like my
wife,” he thought. But Allamby’s biology professor stopped him after class one day. “Carl,” he said, “you’re like the
oldest guy here. What’s your endgame?” Allamby said he’d like to become a doctor, but it would be more practical
to aim lower.
“Why not a doctor? You have a great talent for the work,” the professor said. “I didn’t even see in myself if my
professor hadn’t told me that,” Allamby says.
And so, in 2015, Allamby sold his two shops and started medical school at Northeast Ohio Medical University.
In 2019, at the age of 47, Carl Allamby became Dr Carl Allamby. He now works as an emergency medicine doctor
at Cleveland Clinic Hillcrest Hospital.
“How many people can do something new at such a late stage in their life?” he asks. “My kids look up to me,
my community looks up to me. Whether it’s because of my age or my past career—these are all reasons why Ishouldn’t be here. And yet, here I am.”
11. What did Allamby enroll in a bachelor’s degree for at age 34?
A. To develop his business. B. To take part-time jobs.
C. To take a biology course. D. To learn to be a doctor.
12. Why did Allamby choose to fix cars at first?
A. To accept the school’s requirement.
B. To escape being a doctor.
C. To serve his neighbourhood.
D. To make a living.
13. What does the underlined “to aim lower” mean in Paragraph 4?
A. To live his dream. B. To be a doctor.
C. To take science classes. D. To be a healthcare worker.
14. What’s Allamby’s attitude towards the professor?
A. Doubtful. B. Patient. C. Thankful. D. Sorry.
15. Which can be used to describe Allamby?
A. A bookworm. B. A dream-follower. C. A survivor. D. A pioneer.
D
Getting hit by lightning is not usually good. But in fact, one tree seems to benefit from the natural reward.
The height and broad head of almendro (杏) trees act as natural lightning rods (避雷针). They not only can
survive powerful lightning, but actually attract it. In a thick jungle, such lightning strikes (击中) can even grant the
tree a decisive advantage in the competition for survival. Why? Because the lightning will hurt its surrounding
“enemies”.
The finding comes from a years-long study. Scientists studied lightning’s influence on trees and finally wrote a
paper to share their new findings in the May New Phytologist.
This scientific team studied and recorded the fate (命运) of 93 trees hit by lightning. Among them were 9
almendros. After two years, every almendro tree of the 9 was doing fine. To their surprise, in fact, they were
thriving (茂盛的), while 56 percent of the other species (种类) that had been hit are now dead.
Except a few leaves which are not so smooth as before, almendros weren’t hurt by lightning. However, scientists
observed that the lianas (藤本植物) which grew on them were all burned by the electric shock. These vines (藤蔓)spread everywhere and they are a danger to almendros. At least, they cut off light to the trees that they climb up. They
can also steal nutrients (营养) from almendros. And a liana may not climb just one tree. It can send up vines that
connect to branches on neighboring different species. So when lightning strikes an almendro, the deadly current (电
流) spreads through lianas to neighboring trees and burns them up. This can free up space, light and nutrients for an
almendro to grow vibrantly (生机盎然地).
But why were almendros not hurt as other species nearby? Some of the scientists think the reason is that the
tree’s wood has low electrical resistance (阻力). That might let it safely lead the current to the ground without
suffering a buildup (积聚) of heat. Others think the structure of the tree’s head may direct electricity away from the
branches—and toward its neighbors. It’s really difficult to understand all the biological and physical steps that take
,
place when lightning hits trees. “It would be interesting to be able to say something more on that ” scientists
noted. “We’re all curious how the almendro avoids getting burned by each lightning strike. But we are not sure. So
we didn’t mention that in the paper.”
16. What do almendro trees get after being hit by lightning?
A. Natural lightning rods. B. A collection of heat.
C. Better living conditions. D. More smooth leaves.
17. How many of the 93 trees died two years after being hit by lightning?
A. 93. B. About 47. C. 9. D. About 37.
18. What does “them” refer to in Paragraph 5?
A. Leaves. B. Lianas. C. Vines. D. Almendros.
19. What caused the almendros’ neighbouring trees to be burned?
A. The height of almendros. B. The stolen nutrients.
C. The connection by the vines. D. The blocked light.
20. What did the scientists share in the May New Phytologist?
A. Almendros’ benefiting from lightning.
B. Almendros’ hurting surrounding trees.
C. Structure of almendros’ head.
D. Reasons for almendros’ survival.

and yet it can “walk” by _____26_____. And if it is dropped into water, it swims.
.
_____27_____ is this possible? The secret is in the science of how air moves
Have you ever noticed a “tube dancer” which is used to attract customers? If you have seen a tube dancer
flopping around, you will understand it _____28_____.
Tube dancers are tall, thin tubes of cloth through which air is pumped (用泵抽送). High pressure from the
pumped air fills the tube, making it stand _____29_____, and then the air flows through faster, making the pressure
drop. When this drop in pressure forms a bend in the tube, it causes the tube to fall partway (中途) over. The bend
makes the pumped air move more _____30_____, raising the pressure again. The pumped air pushes the bend up
until the dancer is pushed up once more.
Air pressure moving a bend along a tube is exactly what drives the robot. The magic happens _____31_____
there are several tubes hooked (固定) up to the same pump. When the air starts to flow, the tubes move in different
ways. But very quickly, all of these “legs” start to move in exactly the same way, making the robot walk. The robot’s
speed is controlled by the air pressure.
The researchers built two robots. The first robot had four legs and the air was pumped to it _____32_____ a
hose (软管). Later, the team developed a lighter, two-legged robot that could carry its own battery-powered pump.
There are several remarkable things about the robot. The first is its speed. The robot can cover a distance as long

The Blind Artist: Seeing the World Through Determination
What would you do if the very thing that defined you—the thing you loved the most—was suddenly taken from
you?
A Born Artist with a Bright Future
Liam had been drawing since he could hold a pencil. As a child, he would spend hours drawing everything
around him. By the time he reached adulthood, he was a rising star in the art world. His paintings were displayed in
galleries (画廊), and collectors eagerly bought his works. He was living his dream.
Then, everything changed.
The Day the World Went Dark
One evening, as Liam was driving home from his studio, there was a crash. When he woke up in the hospital,
everything was black. The doctor explained, “I’m sorry, Liam… but you’re blind.”
Liam’s heart sank. Blind? At first, he refused to accept it. “This can’t be happening,” he whispered. “I’m an
artist. I need my eyes.”
Falling Into Despair (绝望)
The following months were the darkest of Liam’s life. He refused to leave his house. His paintings sat untouched
in his studio, collecting dust.
Whenever someone encouraged him to try something new, he said, “What’s the point? I can’t paint. I can’t see.”
His soul was drowning in hopelessness.
One day, his best friend, Ava, visited him. She placed a canvas (画布) in front of him, took his hand and placed a
textured (有纹理的) fabric on the canvas. “Feel this,” she said. “Art isn’t just about sight. It’s about expression.
Maybe you can find a new way to create.”
Learning to See Without Sight
The idea hit him. Could I still create?
One night, alone in his room, he hesitantly (犹豫地) picked up a brush. He let his fingers explore the textures
of different materials—canvas, clay, wood. He tried to tell the difference between them by touching and draw by
feeling. The thickness let him “see” the painting. At first, it was hard. His hands trembled, his lines were messy, andhis paintings didn’t make sense. But he kept going. He learned to “see” with his hands. Slowly, something unbelievable
happened—he started creating art again.
Proving the World Wrong
When Liam finally showed his new works to Ava, she gasped (倒吸一口冷气). “This is… amazing!”
Word spread (消息传开), and soon,
