38、 its ageD.prefers living on the beach答案C解析推理判斷題。根據(jù)第四段中的“The chick weighs a mere 550 grams,less than a standard basketball.A blue penguin should weigh around 900 grams at this age.”可知,這只小藍(lán)企鵝體重只有550克,而處于它這個年齡的小藍(lán)企鵝的體重應(yīng)達(dá)到900克左右。由此可推知,這只小藍(lán)企鵝的體重低于它這個年齡的小藍(lán)企鵝的體重。故C項正確。26.Which of the following can replace t

39、he underlined word “retrieved” in Paragraph 4?A.Ignored.B.Cured.C.Given away.D.Brought back.答案D解析詞義猜測題。根據(jù)第四段第一句“Billy was taken to the Christchurch Penguin Rehabilitation Center after being retrieved from the beach.”可知,這只小藍(lán)企鵝是從沙灘上被帶到克賴斯特徹奇的一個企鵝康復(fù)中心的。由此可推知,畫線詞與brought back“帶回”意思相近。故D項正確。27.What will

40、happen to Billy in the centre?A.It will be reported to Stuff.B.It will be visited by the locals.C.It will be taken good care of.D.It will be fed with fruit juice.答案C解析推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段可知,在這只小藍(lán)企鵝被放回海洋之前,康復(fù)中心會幫助它增加一些體重。由此可推知,在企鵝康復(fù)中心里,這只小藍(lán)企鵝會得到很好的照顧。故C項正確。CFemale seals dont change their spots,according to a

44、es studying with wildlife geneticist David Coltman.“This provides an example of animal personality,with consistent individual differences observed over time.”Bubac also examined how reproductive success is related to a seals boldness or shyness.Grey seals nurse for 16 to 18 days,so mother seals have

45、 a very short window to get baby seals as fat as they can.During this time,baby seals triple(增至三倍) in body mass.Body mass is a good predictor of reproductive success because it indicates the puppies chances of survival.“On average,we found that bolder females stop feeding those that are two kilogram

46、s heavier,compared with the shyest females,improving their chances of surviving the first year of life,” said Bubac.These results present some very interesting biological questions,explained Coltman,professor of biology.“This research shows that young grey seal moms that are bold tend to stop feedin

47、g larger puppies compared with shy moms.However,older grey seals also tend to be bolder.If bolder animals have bigger pups and live longer,why does variation in boldness remain?Why be shy?”【語篇解讀】本文是一篇說明文。海豹也是有個性的,而海豹的個性差異會影響后代繁衍。28.What is the purpose of the study of seals?A.To test their effects on

54、out guilt-free furunless you understand that the nutria are destroying vast wetlands every year,”says Cree McCree,project director of Righteous Fur.Scientists in Louisiana were so concerned that they decided to pay hunters $5 a tail.Some of the fur ends up in the fashion shows like the one in Brookl

55、yn last month.Nutria were brought there from Argentina by fur farmers and let go into the wild.“The ecosystem down there cant handle this non-native species(物種).Its destroying the environment.Its them or us,”says Michael Massimi,an expert in this field.The fur trade kept nutria in check for decades,

56、but when the market for nutria collapsed in the late 1980s,the cat-sized animals multiplied like crazy.Biologist Edmond Mouton runs the nutria control program for Louisiana.He says its not easy to convince people that nutria fur is green,but he has no doubt about it.Hunters bring in more than 300,00

57、0 nutria tails a year,so part of Moutons job these days is trying to promote fur.Then theres Righteous Fur and its unusual fashions.Model Paige Morgan says,“To give people a guilt-free option that they can wear without someone throwing paint on themI think thats going to be a massive thing,at least
