29、states ' (top and bottom 2 percent) to see how residents differed on factors like smoking, clinical care and excessive drinking.

35、DAs PhD research goes, Brian Wisenden was enviable; watching baby fish swimming swiftly through the clear waters in the Costa Rican tropical dry forest. By recording their growth and numbers, he hoped to look at their risks of being eaten. Instead, he witnessed something odd. Many groups were increa

36、sing in numbers. In these groups, some were smaller than others, suggesting they weren' t siblings（兄弟姐妹）.Wisendenhad accidentally discovered that the fish, called convict cichlids, adopt eachother ' s babies. Why would they do that, he wondered?In the human world, we think of adoption as a s

37、elfless act. But in nature, its presence is puzzling. Taking on the burden of bringing up babies with no genetic link would seem to reduce an animal ' s chances of survival or at least provide no gain.Yet, adoption is surprisingly common in the world.Take the eastern grey kangaroo. Between 2008

38、and 2013, Wisenden followed the fates of 326 baby kangaroos in the National Park in Victoria and recorded 11 cases of pouch swapping. The circumstances behind some o f these adoptions aren ' t known, but four were straight swaps and another fo ur occurred after a mother had lost her own baby.How

39、 come? Before independence, baby kangaroos go through a period inside and outside their mother' s pouch; Following out -of-pouch attacks, mothers normally sniff their young before allowing them back in, but Wisenden' s team suspect that duringan emergency they may skip the sniff test, allowi

40、ng a vulnerable baby to quickly climb in before fleeing from danger. Once inside the wrong pouch, the young may fake the mother; s odor, making them smell confusingly like her own descendants. So, poor baby recognition is the prime cause ofaaccidental " adoption.Some of nature ' s adoptions

41、 are, actually, driven by young looking for better prospects. In burrower bugs, for example, females lay a nest of eggs close to those of unrelated bugs. Mother bugs tend their developing eggs before they hatch, then feed their babies nuts from weedy mint plants. Finding nuts is a competitive busine

42、ss, so not every mother bug gets her fair share. And if the delivery rate isn ' t up toscratch, clever young may abandon their mothers to join a better-fed group. That ' ssimilar to behavior in several species of gull whose babies, if poorly fed, may leave home in search of better parents.Th

43、e consequences of adoption following mistaken identity can be extremely terrible. The true babies of adopting mothers were abandoned. But it can have remarkable benefits, not just for adoptees but also for adoptive parents.32. It can be inferred from the- passage that Wisenden ' s findings areA.

44、 too weird to be witnessedB. out of his own expectationsC. envied by his peer co-researchersD. a sound proof ofhisresearch object33. Which is NOT the reason for adoption in the animal kingdom?A. Baby animals ' looking for better parenting.B. Parents ' failure to recognize their own babies.C.

45、 Selfless adoption commonly seen in animal world.D. Parents, inability to provide enough food.34. The underlined word “ vulnerable " in the fourth paragraph means .A. weak and easily attackedB. naughty and easily hurtC independent and well-fedD. fragile and poorly raised35. What will the author

46、 most probably talk about next?A. The benefits for baby animals.B. The benefits for adopters.C. The consequences of adoption.D. The consequences of wrongidentity.第二节（共五小题，每小题 2分，共10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）Ways to Respectfully DisagreeIt ' s easier to agree th

48、r parents “You always remind me about my housework when you know I have much homework has a very different tone from "I' m feeling pressured because I have a lot of homework tonight. Can I do those chores tomorrow?"Listen to the other ' s op inion. 38 That makes it more likely that

49、 he or she will do the same for you. When the other person is talking, try to stop yourself from thinking about why you disagree or what you ' ll say next.39 This is the important thing you can do to keep a conversation on track.Of course, it ' s a huge challenge to stay calm when you feel a

50、ngry about something, especially if the person you ' re talking to gets heated.40 If you ' ve ever been on the receiving end of someone ' s put -downs （ 贬损的话）,you know how valuable using respectful language and behavior can be. So instead of saying what you might be thinking （That' s

51、 a stupid idea!）, try saying"I don ' t agree, and here is why. ”Respect goes beyond difficult conversations, of course. Being helpful and considerate towards family members, teachers or coaches in our everyday actions helps us establish a foundation for those times when we might disagree.A.
