Everyone who knew anything about animals warned me against getting a rabbit in my early 20s, but I ignored
them, and ended up with three. It tuns out that all the people who are against rabbits have a point: Rabbits get sick
all the time, and there are very few vets who specialize in their care. My years with rabbits have been full of
feeding, hurried trips to the vet, sleepless nights and begging for advice on the Internet.
Now that my animals are old and weak now, I clear their waste and clean their legs with a rabbit-friendly
shampoo. I spend a lot of time on the floor, because although my rabbits are hard to satisfy socially, they also hate
to be picked up.
I am often asked the question: Why rabbits? Why not a dog, or a cat? I try to describe what it’s like to be with
them. I had never felt a real duty towards anything until I had my rabbits.
My answers never satisfy anyone. I’m not sure about the question, either it so often implies instrumental
value, as if the correct reply might be “They make good companions” or “They’re nice to look at”. I don’t have the
right kind of reason. I don’t believe in the use value of any living thing. Like humans, animals just are — that’s
it. Usually we do not look at other people and think about how to make them work for us. Yet so much of our way
of seeing the world is founded on the assumption that animals are meant to serve a purpose. This seems wrong.
After all these years with my rabbits, the only thing I know is that there is no lesson to be learned or value to
be acquired. There’s just an effort to be made, and as far as I’m concerned, that’s what life is.
24. Why do people oppose keeping rabbits?
A. It’s very boring. B. It costs a fortune.
C. It’s rather demanding. D. It makes the house messy.
25. Which word can be used to describe the author?
A. Considerate. B. Knowledgeable. C. Sociable. D. Energetic.
26. What is the meaning of the underlined sentence in paragraph 4?
A. Animals should be treated differently.
B. Animals shouldn’t be judged on some purpose.
C. The value of animals shouldn’t be ignored.
D. Humans should live in harmony with animals.
27. What effect does raising rabbits have on the author?
A. He keeps being true to himself. B. He reflects on his life more deeply.
C. He learns to value others’ opinions. D. He realizes the meaning of life.
C
Scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology(MIT, 麻省 理工学院 ) have turned spider webs into
music — creating a strange soundtrack that could help them better understand how the spiders output their complex
creations and even how they communicate.
The MIT team worked with Berlin-based artist Tomas Saraceno to take 2D (two-dimensional) laser scans of a
spider web, which were linked together and made into a mathematical model that could recreate the web in 3D in
VR (virtual reality). They also worked with MIT’s music department to create the virtual instrument.
“Even though the web looks really random, there actually are a lot of inside structures and you can visualize
them and you can look at them, but it’s really hard to grasp for the human imagination or human brain to
understand all these structural details,” said MIT engineering professor Markus Buehler, who presented the work
on Monday at a virtual meeting of the American Chemical Society.
Listening to the music while moving through the VR spider web lets you see and hear these structural changes
and gives a better idea of how spiders see the world, Buehler told CNN. “Spiders use vibrations(振动) as a way to
locate themselves, to communicate with other spiders and so the idea of thinking really like a spider would
experience the world was something that was very important to us as spider material scientists,” he said.
Spiders are able to build their webs without shelves or supports, so having a better idea of how they work
could lead to the development of advanced new 3D printing techniques. “The reason why I did that is that I wanted
to be able to get information really from the spider world, which is very weird and mysterious,” Buehler explained.
In addition to the scientific value, Buehler said the webs are musically interesting and that you can hear the sounds
the spider creates during construction. “It’s unusual and eerie and scary, but finally beautiful,” he described.
28. What have MIT scientists done according to the passage?
A. They have known how spiders communicate.
B. They have translated spider webs into sounds.
C. They have created a soundtrack to catch spiders.
D. They have made a mathematical model to produce webs.
29. What can we know about spider webs from paragraph 3?
A. Their structures are beautiful and clear.
B. They are complex for people to figure out.
C. Professor Markus Buehler knows them well.
D. The American Chemical Society presents the result.
30. In which field will the study be helpful?
A. Printing. B. Virtual reality. C. Painting. D. Film-making.
31. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. It explains why scientists did the experiment.
B. It tells us that the music created by spiders is scary.
C. It presents a new and creative way to study spiders.
D. It shows how the researchers carry out the experiment.
D
Nearly gone are the days when humans covered themselves with blankets to keep warm, and it’s now the age
of covering glaciers with blankets to keep them cool because at the rate climate is changing, which seems like a
very workable idea to keep them from melting.
At a ski resort( 度假胜地) in the Swiss Alps, the Swiss use blankets to protect the glacier from the warm
