【正文】 nd nod, and enjoy the warmth of the 。 D What’s small, buzzes here and there and visits flowers? If you said bees or hummingbirds, you got it. You wouldn’t be the first if you mixed the two up. Now a group of researchers even say we should embrace our history of considering the two together in the same group. The way scientists study bees could help them study hummingbird behavior, too. Scientists first pared the two back in the 1970s when studying how animals search for food. The idea is that animals use a kind of math to make choices in order to minimize the work it takes to earn maximum rewards. Researchers at the time focused on movement rules, like the order in which they visited flowers, and where flowers were located relative to others. It was “almost like an algorithm( 算法 )” for efficient searching, said David Pritchard, a biologist at the University of St. Andrews in Scotland. Hummingbirds and bees had similar solutions. As the field of animal cognition(認知 ) appeared, hummingbird and bee research parted. Neuroscientists and behavioral ecologists developed ways to study bee behavior in naturalistic settings. Hummingbird researchers pared hummingbirds to other birds and borrowed methods from psychology to study their ability to learn in the lab. To be fair, hummingbirds and bees differ. For example, hummingbirds have more advanced eyes and brains than bees. Honeybees and bumblebees are social。我們經(jīng)常把蜂鳥和蜜蜂搞混，然而科學家發(fā)現(xiàn)研究蜜蜂的方法可以幫助他們研究蜂鳥的行為。根據(jù)文章第二段中 Researchers at the time focused on movement rules, like the order in which they visited flowers, and where flowers were located relative to ，當時的研究人員把注意力集中在運動規(guī)則上。 33. 細節(jié)理解題。故選 D。根據(jù)文章最后一段內容及 Like other birds, they rely on landmarks, distances and directions to make maps when travelling long distances, but they don’t use these cues to find flowers. Move a flower just an inch or so away from where a hummingbird thought it was and it will hover over the flower’s original location.可以推斷出研究者是通過移動花而發(fā)現(xiàn)蜂鳥不像鳥。 35. 主旨大意題。故選 D。選項中有兩項為多余選項。你想成為一名海外志愿者嗎？成為海外志愿者之前你有 4件事需要考慮。故選 F。故選 B。 故選 A。故選 G。故選 E。 Gee Springer helped his team Houston Astros win the World Series in 2017.
