文章主要介绍了一些生物已经发展出了通过战略性地练习社交距离来保护群体中最有价值的个体的方法，英国布里斯托尔大学的教授Nathalie Stroeymeyt使用微型数字标签跟踪致命真菌爆发期间花园蚁群的活动来对此进行研究。

13. Some creatures have developed ways to protect the most valuable in their group by practicing social distancing strategically. The most
impressive examples occur in social insects, where different members of the group have different roles.
Nathalie Stroeymeyt, a professor of the University of Bristol in England used tiny digital tags to track the movements of garden ant groups during an outbreak of a deadly fungus(真菌). The fungi are passed from ant to ant through physical contact.
To measure how ants respond when disease first invades(入侵) their group, the researchers applied the fungi directly to a small group of the worker ants that regularly leave the group. The worker ants are most likely to accidentally encounter fungi while out searching for food. The researchers used the natural way this fungus would be introduced. The behavioral responses of ants in 11 fungus-treated groups were then compared with the same number of control groups, where a harmless liquid was applied to worker ants. Ants in fungus-exposed groups started rapid and strategic social distancing after treatment. Within 24 hours those worker ants self-isolated by spending more time away from the group compared with control-treated worker ants.
Healthy ants in fungus-treated groups also strongly reduced their social interaction. Uninfected worker ants, which interact frequently with other worker ants that might carry disease, kept their distance from the group, when disease was present. This prevents them from putting the valuable group members (the queen and “nurses”that care for young ants) at risk. The nurses also took actions, moving young ants farther inside the nest and away from the worker ants once the fungus was detected in the group. The signals that the ants use to detect and rapidly respond to fungus exposure are still unknown. This strategic group was so effective that all queens and most nurses from the study groups were still alive at the end of the experimental outbreaks.
1. What aspect does the first paragraph discuss about the research?
A．Its background.B．Its findings.C．Its significance.D．Its process.
2. Why did the researchers apply fungi to worker ants?
A．To compare how differently ants respond to the invasion.
B．To watch how worker ants send signals to others.
C．To do the research in a natural and convincing way.
D．To prevent fungi from spreading in the ant group.
3. What does the underlined word “where” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A．In fungus-treated groups.B．In garden ant groups.
C．In 11 control groups.D．In social insects.
4. How do we know ants’ social distancing was successful?
A．All queens and most nurses survived the invasion.
B．All the worker ants spend more time outside the nest.
C．Researchers have found how the ants found fungus exposure.
D．Worker ants in both study and control groups self-isolated.
14. Mention sand art and the image that comes to mind is that of an intricately(杂乱的) carved sculpture or design sketched on a beach surface. Though impressive, they are transient(短暂的) masterpieces that disappear with the first large wave or splash of rain. However, 24-year-old Tim Bengel’s sand art is permanent. That’s because the German artist uses the grit(粗砂) to “paint” his masterpieces on canvas. While the final product is certainly beautiful, what is even more so is the way it is created.
Bengel begins by covering a blank canvas with a special adhesive(黏合剂) that dries extremely slowly, giving the artist enough time to draw the desired image. He then begins “painting” with grains of black sand and in some cases, gold foil. It takes the young man anywhere from 200 to 300 hours to complete each work of art.
What is most intriguing about Bengel’s process is that only the artist knows what the final image will be. To the rest of the world, the canvas appears to be a mess of black sand. It is only when Bengel sprinkles white sand over the canvas and then dramatically sweeps off all the excess grit that the masterpiece is revealed!
The talented artist, who is currently studying art at the University of Tubingen, says his interest in the subject began after he visited the Staatsgalerie Stuttgart Art Museum as a child. Bengel was so inspired that he came home and began trying to reproduce the paintings he had seen at the museum. After winning an art competition at this school at the age of 18, Bengel knew that it was the career he wanted to pursue. But the young man also realized that to be successful, he would have to develop his own unique style.
1. From the first paragraph we can see that________.
A．sand art only last for a short time
B．Bengel’s works are intricately carved sculptures
C．Bengel’s works stretch on the beach
D．the creation of sand art is more beautiful
2. What can we infer from the second paragraph?
A．The artist creates his work on the beach.
B．It takes the artist a long time to finish each work of art.
C．This kind of art work is very easy to create.
D．The artist has to work quickly because of the adhesive.
3. Bengel became interested in art ________.
A．when he became a university student
B．after he went to an art museum
C．after he saw some sand sculptures
D．when he was at the age of 18
4. What did Bengel realize he had to do if he wanted to be successful?
A．He must visit museums often.
B．He must reproduce the paintings.
C．He must have his own unique style.
D．He must win art competitions.

介绍了一个由9名女性组成的自称为“The 9 Nanas”的秘密社团，通过为有需要的人做一些随机的善举来传播快乐。

15. In Tennessee, you will find a “secret society” that consists of 9 women who call themselves “The 9 Nanas.” Its mission is simple — to spread happiness by performing random acts of kindness for those in need. The Nanas have been together since childhood. Several of them were raised by MaMaw and PaPaw, a couple that were always doing good for the community.
One day when the 9 Nanas got together, they started recollecting the old days with MaMaw and PaPaw. They fondly recalled how MaMaw Ruth used to bake and send pound cakes to families who had recently lost someone. The “sisters” wanted to do good for their community too. So, the “secret society” of “The 9 Nanas” was born.
The ladies kept their ears open as they ran their daily work. Whenever they heard of someone in need, they’d step in to help. A package would be sent, which would always include one of MaMaw Ruth’s pound cakes and a note that said “Somebody loves you.”
Believe it or not, the group operated in secret for 30 years! But by then, the husbands had started to get suspicious. So the 9 Nanas gathered the husbands and spilled the beans. Their husbands wanted in on the fun. That’s when the operation was taken to the next level!
Now, over 5 years since the husbands uncovered their wives’ secret, the 9 Nanas are still going strong. They said, “Not everyone is as lucky as we were to have MaMaw and PaPaw to take care of them. So this is our way of giving back. We want to make sure that happiness happens.”
1. What is the task of the “secret society”?
A．To uncover secrets.B．To search for lost family members.
C．To spread happiness.D．To attend kids for working parents.
2. What inspired the 9 Nanas to start the “secret society”?
A．A thank-you note.B．Their similar interests.
C．A special package.D．Their common memories.
3. Which of the following best explains ”spilled the beans“ underlined in paragraph 4?
A．Told the truth.B．Shared snacks.
C．Asked for help.D．Made promises.
4. Which of the following best describes the 9 Nanas?
A．Practical and polite.B．Humble and humorous.
C．Caring and devoted.D．Outgoing and disciplined.
16. I walked to Mrs. Windsor’s house and waited outside. She was working with another student, and I was not supposed to bother them by ringing the bell. I stood against the wall and daydreamed what I’d rather be doing. I had been tutored enough to read, understand, and even write some musical compositions, but I just didn’t have a gift for it. Mrs. Windsor had offered to give me the lessons for free, so I felt my duty to try.
The door opened and Wendy Barton came out. I walked in, sat down on the piano bench and began to sort through my sheet music. Today Mrs. Windsor introduced her niece Pasha to teach me. With a smile, Pasha sat beside me on the piano bench, opened my sheet music to the beginning page and asked me to play. I arranged my fingers on the keys. Then I frowned(皱眉) and concentrated to make the notes on the page match the finger movements. I had to admit I was a rather mechanical (呆板的) pianist.
After about a page or two, Pasha gently put her hand on top of mine as if to calm my fingers. There was a long pause. “What are you hearing in the music?” I looked at her rather strangely and admitted I didn’t know what she meant. “Like a story. Here, let me try and you listen,” Pasha advised. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath, letting her fingers dance lightly over the keys. Then, she began to play. “See, it begins here beside some kind of river. Hear the water flowing beside you?”
Her fingers rose and fell gently on the keys. “Now the princess appears and she’s picking flowers from the water’s edge.” A happy piece of music filled the air in time to Pasha’s dancing fingers. “Oh, but she slips!” The music changed. “And our princess is being carried off by the fast-flowing stream. Quickly, the princess’ horse sees her plight (困境) and races to the river’s edge where he swims out to let her catch hold of him. Luckily, they make it to the bank.” Pasha said.
I played many pieces of music that afternoon, finding the stories in the music and learning that sometimes it takes a friend to pull you out of the river onto dry land again.
1. By describing herself as a mechanical pianist, the author meant ________.
A．she could remember the notes in a short time
B．she was playing the piano without emotion
C．her fingers couldn’t move freely
D．it had been a long time since she played last time
2. Which of the following can best describe Pasha?

3. Pasha’s magic of playing the piano lies in that she ________.
A．imagined herself as a princess
B．knew its original background story
C．had a strong desire to make a friend
D．combined the music with a story
4. Which of the following is the best title for the text?

B．Never Give up
C．A Piano Lesson
D．My Favorite Piece of Music
