They build their homes about 4.6m above the river, an important feature (特征) for the safety of the young. It is called the hoatzin.In appearance, the birds of both sexes look very much alike with brown on the back and cream and red on the underside. The head is small, with a large set of feathers on the top, bright red eyes, and blue skin. Its nearest relatives are the common birds, cuckoos. Its most striking feature, though, is only found in the young.Baby hoatzins have a claw on the leading edge of each wing and another at the end of each wing tip. Using these four claws, together with the beak (喙), they can climb about in the bushes, looking very much like primitive birds must have done. When the young hoatzins have learned to fly, they lose their claws.During the drier months between December and March hoatzins fly about the forest in groups of 20 to 30 birds, but in April, when the rainy season begins, they collect together in smaller living units of two to seven birds for producing purposes.【语篇解读】文章主要介绍了生活在亚马逊河的麝雉the hoatzin的外表特征以及生活习性。1What is the text mainly about?AHoatzins in dry and rainy seasons.BThe relatives and enemies of hoatzins.CPrimitive birds and hoatzins of the Amazon. DThe appearance and living habits of hoatzins.答案D主旨大意题。文章主要介绍了the hoatzin，它是生活在亚马逊河的麝雉。介绍了这种鸟的外表特征以及生活习性。故选D。2Young hoatzins are different from their parents in that_.Athey look like young cuckoosBthey have claws on the wingsCthey eat a lot like a cowDthey live on river banks答案B细节理解题。根据第三段的第一句Baby hoatzins have a claw on the leading edge of each wing and another at the end of each wing tip.与此段的最后一句When the young hoatzins have learned to fly, they lose their claws.可知幼鸟有爪子而老一些的鸟没有。故选B。3What can we infer about primitive birds from the text?AThey had claws to help them climb.BThey could fly long distances.CThey had four wings like hoatzins.DThey had a head with long feathers on the top.答案A推理判断题。根据第三段的Using these four claws, together with the beak (喙), they can climb about in the bushes, looking very much like primitive birds must have done.可知最初的鸟用爪子帮助爬行。故选A。4Why do hoatzins collect together in smaller groups when the rainy season comes?ATo find more food.BTo protect themselves better.CTo keep themselves warm.DTo produce their young.答案D细节理解题。根据最后一段的when the rainy season begins, they collect together in smaller living units of two to seven birds for producing purposes.可知。BThe research team has discovered that subordinate fish voluntarily diet to avoid challenging their larger competitors. “In studying gobies we noticed that only the largest two individuals, a male and female, had breeding (繁殖) rights within the group, ” explains Marian Wong. “All other group members are nonbreeding females, each being 510% smaller than its next largest competitor. We wanted to find out how they maintain this precise size separation.” The reason for the size difference was easy to see. Once a subordinate fish grows to within 510% of the size of its larger competitor, it causes a fight which usually ends in the smaller goby being driven away from the group. More often than not, the_evicted_fish is then eaten up.It appeared that the smaller fish were keeping themselves small in order to avoid challenging the boss fish. Whether they did so voluntarily, by restraining how much they ate, was not clear. The research team decided to do an experiment. They tried to fatten up some of the subordinate gobies to see what happened. To their surprise, the gobies simply refused the extra food they were offered, clearly preferring to remain small and avoid fights, over having a feast. The discovery challenges the traditional scientific view of how boss individuals keep their position in a group. Previously it was thought that large individuals simply used their weight and size to threaten their subordinates and take more of the food for themselves, so keeping their competitors small. While the habits of gobies may seem a little mysterious, Dr. Wong explains that understanding the relationships between boss and subordinate animals is important to understanding how hierarchical (等级的) societies remain stable. The research has proved the fact that voluntary dieting is a habit far from exclusive to humans. “As yet, we lack a complete understanding of how widespread the voluntary reduction of food intake is in nature，” the researchers comment. “Data on human dieting suggests that, while humans generally diet to improve health or increase attractiveness, rarely does it improve longterm health and males regularly prefer females that are fatter than the females own ideal.”【语篇解读】人类节食是为了让自己看起来更加美丽动人，而鱼类节食则是为了避免纷争，避免自己被赶出种群，而最终被吃掉。5When a goby grows to within 510% of the size of its larger competitor, it_.Afaces dangerBhas breeding rightsCeats its competitorDleaves the group itself答案A细节理解题。根据第三段第二句可知， 当a goby长到较大的鱼的510%时，会引起一场争斗。争斗的结果通常是较小的goby被驱赶出去。故选A。6The underlined words “the evicted fish” in Paragraph 3 refer to _.Athe fish beaten upBthe fish found out Cthe fish fattened upDthe fish driven away答案D词义猜测题。根据前面一句提到的the smaller goby being driven away from the group可知the evicted fish应指前面被驱赶走的鱼。7The experiment showed that the smaller fish _.Afought over a feast Bwent on diet willinglyCpreferred some extra foodDchallenged the boss fish答案B推理判断题。根据第四段中的最后一句以及最后一段的第一句可知。8What is the text mainly about? AFish dieting and human dieting. BDieting and health.CHuman dieting.DFish dieting. 答案D主旨大意题。第一段应是文章的中心；下文是围绕goby这种鱼节食进行的研究。
