D

Every year, lots of animals around the world go on migrating(迁徙) journeys. Some need to find food; others are looking for somewhere to produce and raise their young. Migrations can be long and difficult for animals, but new research on birds has found that farmland along the way can help their progress.
In spring, hundreds of thousands of birds living near Lake Poyang, in China, fly north to Siberia, Russia. On the way, they find places to stop and eat to keep their energy levels up for the long journey. Some birds, such as geese, eat young grass that starts to grow at the beginning of the season. This food can last for only a few weeks. And rising temperatures caused by climate change can sometimes make the grass grow earlier than usual. This means that some birds are arriving too late to eat the grass. As more land is used for farming, the natural wetlands where birds like to search for food are disappearing, too.
A team of researchers have recently chosen to follow 246 birds, including geese and tundra swans, that are flying from Lake Poyang to Siberia. They find that the birds have changed their diets to adapt(适应) to the environments they pass through. As well as eating grass from the wetlands along the way, the birds are also eating seeds(种子) dropped by farmers.
The researchers believe that seeds will become a more important part of migrating birds’ diets as more natural wetlands disappear. They suggest that if farmers use different ways of harvesting, such as using machines that leave behind more seeds in fields, it could help to feed migrating birds. However, they also say wetlands must be protected, so the birds can enjoy different foods during their long journeys.
27. Which can be a reason for animal migration according to Paragraph 1?
A. Raising their babies.
B. Enjoying the journey.
C. Sending food to others.
D. Taking care of the old.
28. What problem might the birds meet when flying from Lake Poyang to Siberia?
A. There is no grass growing along the way.
B. There is a sudden drop in temperature on the way.
C. Fewer natural wetlands are left for them to find food.
D. Some of the birds set out early and eat too much grass.
29. How do the birds adapt to the environments they pass through?
A. By changing their diets.
B. By changing the way they fly.
C. By making their homes in wetlands.
D. By making friends with farmers.
30. What can be the best title of the text?
A. Stop killing, stop polluting
B. Save water, save life
C. Birds help harvesting work
D. Farms help migrating birds

Using science to make the world a better place
A science project can be a job or a fun hobby. But doing research can also be a chance to help others and make the world a better place. Here’s an interview with two teen scientists who took part in this year’s science competition, Sally and Allen.
◆ Can you introduce your project?
Sally: 31A The machine is powered by the sun’s energy. It can not only find litter but also put the litter into different groups.
Allen: I developed an app to recommend(推荐) songs. It records someone’s heart rate(心率) while listening to music. The information is then used to recommend other music that can help the person relax.
◆ 32E
Sally: When I volunteered at our local litter clean-up, I saw how much litter pollution there was, and I knew that I had to fix this problem.
Allen: When people are listening to my music, they all have different feelings. So that’s where I got the idea to start this project.
◆ What was your favourite part of this project?
Sally: Building the robot. I have never had any experience in robotics before, so it was a completely new experience.
Allen: My favourite part was finding out proper music. 33B
◆ Any advice for science project beginners?
Sally: Follow the scientific rules. It might seem difficult at times, but if you stick to this and change just one variable(变量) at a time, you’ll finally make it.
Allen: 34C Everyone’s worried, “Oh no, what if I mess this up?” In fact, making mistakes is part of learning.
|A. I made a litter-collecting robot.|
|---|
|B. It was something that I really liked.|
|C. Don’t be afraid of making mistakes.|
|D. What’s the next step for your project?|
|E. How did you get the idea to start the project?|
35. Whose project do you like better, Sally’s or Allen’s? Why?（不超过15词）
