When Ariel Cordova-Rojas rode her bike to Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge in Queens, New York,
last November, she planned to go hiking and bird-watching. Bingo! A mile into her walk, she spotted a
gorgeous female swan near the water’s edge. Cordova-Rojas, 30, who had worked at the Wild Bird
Fund care center in Manhattan, knew that swans can be aggressive. But as she approached this one, it
didn’t move.
She was certain that the bird needed medical attention. Cordova-Rojas wrapped her jacket around
the bird’s head to keep it calm, carefully picked it up, and cradled it in her arms. And then a thought
struck her: What do I do now?
Her best bet was the care center, but that was across the East River and clear on the other side of
town. How was she going to transport a 17-pound swan on her bike all that way? Luckily, some
strangers driving by offered her, her bike, and the swan a lift to a nearby subway station.
On the subway, no one seemed particularly disturbed by the feathered passenger. One guy, says
Cordova-Rojas, was “sitting right in front of me on his phone. I don’t know if he noticed there was a
swan in front of him.” And then the animal-care manager picked her up at the subway station. There,
staff members determined that the swan might have lead poisoning, caused by eating weights used on
fishing lines.
The staff got the swan back up on her feet. She even made a boyfriend at the center—another
injured swan. Sadly, the swan got a bacterial infection later. Two months after Cordova-Rojas came to
her rescue, she passed away.
It’s a disappointing ending, but the real story is just how far some people are willing to go to save
a swan in the big city—literally.
24. Why did Cordova-Rojas determine the swan needed medical care?
A. Because the swan was too aggressive.
B. Because the swan’s feet were injured badly.
C. Because the swan stayed still when she got closer.
D. Because she had worked at the Wild Bird Fund care center.
25. What was the passenger’s reaction to the swan on the subway?

Research into whether the human voice helps plants isn’t conclusive. Even so, there are
convincing reasons that chatting with your houseplants is good for them—and you.
In a 2022 survey by trees.com, 50 percent of the 1250 respondents reported talking to their plants.
When asked why, 65 percent said they believe it helps them grow. The research, however, isn’t
definitive about this point. While studies have found that vibrations (震动) caused by sound do affect
plants, the jury is still out on whether the human voice offers any specific benefit.
For many plant owners, though, the science is beside the point. Marquis Matson, co-founder of the
blog the Indoor Nursery, says she talks to her plants every day because “it feels nice and I think plants
get a sense of community from my talking to them and that keeps them going”. On the plant side, a
study in a 2003 issue of the journal Ultrasonics investigated the effects of the classical music and the
sounds of birds, insects and water on the growth of Chinese cabbage and cucumber. Both forms of
sound exposure increased the vegetables’ growth. In a 2015 study, researchers exposed marigold (金盏
花) and chickpea (鹰嘴豆) plants to light Indian music as well as to traffic noise. They found that both
types of plants grew and developed better after being exposed to the music for four hours per day, but
not to the traffic sounds. “Plants definitely respond to vibrations in their environment—which can
cause plants to grow differently and become more resistant to falling over,” says Heidi Appel, leader of
the study. She points out, “While sound absolutely matters to plants, we don’t know if talking to them
makes them grow differently.”
Despite the lack of studies and evidence about the benefits of talking to your plants, there is at least
one theoretical bonus, “If we identify with a living organism that we’re taking care of, we’re going to
take better care of it and help them thrive,” Appel says.
28. What do the underlined words “the jury is still out” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. There is uncertainty. B. The jury has decided.
C. The jury is playing outside. D. People have different ideas.
29. What do Marquis Matson’s words suggest?
A. Vibrations caused by sound affect plants.
B. Chatting with the plants benefits both sides.
C. Scientific research in this area makes no sense.
D. A sense of community is a must for plants’ growth.
30. What can be inferred from Paragraph 3?
A. Traffic sounds probably have a negative influence on plant growth.
B. Talking to plants can make them more sensitive to the environment.
C. Plants do not fall over because of the vibrations in their environment.
D. Classical music is beneficial to plant growth as sounds of nature do.
31. What is Appel’s attitude towards the study?
