Start Wars: Episode IX: The mystery of Reys life cant be solved.BOne of the great concerns that ornithologists have is that

35、climate change will throw the nesting activities of birds out of sync (同步) with the availability of food for the raising of chicks. For one species, the pied flycatcher, a new study shows that some of its clan are proving to be remarkably adaptable.Upon returning to Europe from their African winteri

36、ng grounds, the flycatchers time their egg-laying to the short period when juicy caterpillars (毛毛虫) are most abundant. During the past three decades this caterpillar peak has advanced by three weeks. Pied flycatchers initially had difficulty adjusting, but over time have started laying their eggs ea

37、rlier to grab the caterpillars. Some, though, are doing a lot more to improve their reproductive chances of success, according to a study in the Journal of Avian Biology led by Christian Both of the University of Groningen, in the Netherlands.Like most bird species, pied flycatchers have long been t

38、hought to lay a single clutch of eggs during the breeding (繁殖) season. This was widely considered to be a trait that wouldnt change. Then, in 2007, a Swiss team led by Dr Ravussin began to suspect that clutch numbers were flexible. They discovered a female pied flycatcher that immediately produced a

39、 second brood with a new male after raising an early set of chicks. Aware of Dr Ravussins findings, Dr Both wondered whether this was just a single, odd instance or if second broods might be happening on a larger scale driven by the arrival of earlier springs. So, they cooperate to delve into the da

40、ta to find out.The team studied pied-flycatcher populations in the Netherlands and Switzerland that were known to be among the earliest nesting members of the species. In total, they tracked the egg-laying times and hatchling-rearing success of 8,848 breeding pairs in the Netherlands and1,372 in Swi

41、tzerland between1980 and 2018. They found that since 2006, 11 cases of second broods were observed, all of them among the earliest breeders in both populations.Further studies ruled out that the birds were making up for a failed first attempt at raising chicks or that the second group of nestlings s

42、uffered.With no obvious downside to laying a double clutch, Drs Both and Ravussin conclude that the birds are attempting to double their annual reproductive output. While this behavior is still rare, they argue that if the tendency is driven by heritable genes (which it may well be) , then a success

43、ion of early springs could make the strategy much more common.58. As to flycatchers, we can learn that _.A. the population of caterpillars has no effect on their egg-laying timeB. climate change is the main cause of their advancing egg-laying timeC. they can only lay a single clutch of eggs during t

44、he breeding seasonD. theyre born with the ability of raising more than one group of chicks59. Dr Ravussin and Dr Both may both agree that _.A. flycatchers like to winter and lay eggs in the Netherlands and Switzerland B. flycatchers know how to make up for a failed first attempt at raising chicks C.

45、 flycatchers are making adaptations to double their annual reproductive output D. flycatchers, driven by heritable genes, return early from their wintering grounds60. Which can be the most suitable title for the passage?A. More nests, more eggs B. Earlier spring, earlier breeding C. More caterpillar

46、s, less chances D. Later arrival, less outputCChildren who qualify for free school meals are twice as likely to be out of work in later life as their better off peers, and even when they get good qualifications at school, the employment gap remains, as a research has found.A report by Impetus, a cha

47、rity that supports young people from disadvantaged backgrounds, found that 26% of those on free school meals (FSM) were not in education, employment, or training (Neet) after leaving school. In contrast, only 13% of non-FSM children ended up Neet.The study found that young people from disadvantaged

48、backgrounds were less likely to get good qualifications, but even when they had the same qualifications as their better-off peers, they were still 50% more likely to be out of education and employment as other young adults.The research is based on analysis of longitudinal education outcomes data fro

49、m the Department for Education, which reveals the impact of having a disadvantaged background on life chances and connects pupils school records with their employment.“Qualifications play a central role,” the report said, “and it is well known that disadvantaged young people have worse qualification

50、 outcomes than their better-off peers.” It added qualifications alone were not enough to explain the difference in Neet rates. “Disadvantaged young people are around 50% more likely to be Neet than their similarly qualified but better-off peers. This is true at all levels of qualifications and regar

51、dless of age. This means that half the gap in Neet rates can be explained by qualifications, but half cannot.”The study also showed how where you grow up affects your life chancesit found that a disadvantaged young person in north-east England is 50% more likely to end up Neet than a disadvantaged y

52、oung person in London.Andy Ratcliffe, the CEO of Impetus, said: “We are breaking a fundamental promise to young people in this country. We tell them that study hard, get your qualifications and good jobs will follow. For many young people this is true. But for young people from disadvantaged backgro

53、unds it isnt. They are less likely to get those qualifications, and even when they do, less likely to benefit from them.” 61. Why did the author mention a report by Impetus in paragraph 2?A. To offer evidence. B. To make a comparison.C. To offer examples. D. To make criticism. 62. “People from disad

54、vantaged backgrounds” refers to those _.A. who are well off B. from urban areasC. from rural areas D. who are badly off63. According to the study, young people from disadvantaged backgrounds _. A. have a tendency to get good qualifications at schoolB. are mostly not in education, employment or train

55、ingC. are more likely to be unemployed than wealthy peersD. have equal employment chances with similar qualifications64. What does the author want to stress in the passage?A. The benefits of being wealthy.B. The existence of employment gap.C. The meaning of having qualifications.D. The importance of educational equality.DCharles Dickens joy at first arriving in Boston Harbor in 1842 reads like Ebenezer Scrooges awakening on Christmas morning. Biographer Peter Ackroyd reports that he flew up the steps of the Tremont House Hotel, sprang into the hall and greeted a curious crowd with
