37、ll objects for no reason at all.Now scientists have managed to figure out what exactly is going on in the brains of our little friends. According to Tony Buffington, a professor at Ohio State University in the US, cats strange behavior largely comes from their way of life back in the wild. “Cats tod

38、ay still have many of the same instincts(本能)that allowed them to live in the wild for millions of years.” he said in a TED Talk. “To them, our homes are their jungles.”In the wild, cats are hunters. Their bodies and great balancing abilities allow them to climb to high spots to better look at the en

39、vironment. Even though they dont have to hunt any more in human houses, they still keep the old habit of viewing the living room from, for example, the top of the refrigerator.Cats hunting instinct is also what makes them attack small things like keys and USB drives. In the wild, they hunt whatever

40、they can get, and most of the animals they kill are small.However, cats can also be prey. This explains why they like to stay in small spaces like drawers or washing machines-they are hiding, or they think they are hiding, from more dangerous animals. This is also why cats prefer a clean box: a smel

41、ly one could easily show enemies where they are.Knowing how cats minds work is not only useful for better understanding them. It may also help cats owners to better meet cats needs. For example, owners could try to make climbing easier for cats by moving their furniture around. They could also use “

42、food puzzles” to make eating feel more like hunting instead of just giving food to the cats.1、According to Tony Buffington, _.Acats strange behavior is hard for people to understandBcats are more used to living in the wild than in humans homesCcats behave strangely mainly because of some instincts i

43、n the wildDcats instincts are as helpful to them today as they were millions of year ago2、Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the text?ACats like to climb up high because they want to hide from dangerous animalsBCats attack keys and USB drives because they have a habit of hunting

44、small animalsCCats enjoy staying in small spaces because they usually live in small caves in the wildDCats preference for a clean box probably has something to do with their hunting instincts3、The underlined word “prey” in Paragraph 5 probably means _.Aan animal that is too lazyBan animal that likes

45、 hiding gamesCan animal that keeps itself cleanDan animal that is hunted4、This article is mainly written to _.Aexplore the reasons behind cats strange behaviorBdescribe cats past wild experience to readersCtell cat owners how to make life easier for catsDcompare cats behavior in human homes with tha

If you think so, youre not alone, because energy independence has been the dream of American president for decades, and never more so than in the past few years, when the most recent oil price shock has been partly respons

47、ible for kicking off the great recession(经济衰退). “Energy independence” and its rhetorical (修辞的) companion “energy security” are, however, slippery concepts that are rarely though through. What is it we want independence from, exactly? Most people would probably say that they want to be independent fr

48、om imported oil. But there are reasons that we buy all that old from elsewhere. The first reason is that we need it to keep our economy running. Yes, there is a trickle（涓涓细流）of biofuel（生物燃料）available, and more may become available, but most biofuels cause economic waste and environmental destruction

49、. Second, Americans have basically decided that they dont really want to produce all their own oil. They value the environmental quality they preserve over their oil imports from abroad. Vast areas of the United States are off-limits to oil exploration and production in the name of environmental pro

50、tection. To what extent are Americans really willing to endure the environmental impacts of domestic energy production in order to cut back imports? Third, there are benefits to trade. It allows for economic efficiency, and when we buy things from places that have lower production costs than we do,

51、we benefit. And although you dont read about this much, the United States is also a large exporter of oil products, selling about 2 million barrels of petroleum products per day to about 90 countries. There is no question that the United States imports a great deal of energy and, in fact, relies on

52、that steady flow to maintain its economy. When that flow is interrupted, we feel the pain in short supplies and higher prices, At the same time, we derive massive economic benefits when we buy the most affordable energy on the world market and when we engage in energy trade around the world.1、What d
