Scientists from Queen Mary University of London performed an experiment,in which they set up a container that allowed bees to travel from their nest to a feeding area.But along the way,the bees could choose to pass through a separate section with some small wooden balls.Over 18 days,the scientists watched as the bees "went out of their way to roll wooden balls repeatedly,despite no apparent incentive (to do s0”. Earlier studies have shown that the black and yellow bugs are willing to learn new tricks in exchange for food or other rewards.In this case,to get rid of external factors,scientists made sure the bees had adapted to their new home and that their environment was stress-free. The finding suggests that like humans,insects also interact with objects as a form of play.Also similar to people,younger bees seem to be more playful than adult bees."This research provides a strong indication that insects'minds are far more complicated than we imagine.There are lots of animals who play just for the purpose of enjoyment,but most examples come from young mammals(哺乳动物)and birds,”said Lars Chittka,a professor of sensory and behavioral ecology at Queen Mary University of London,who led the study. The study's first author,Samadi Galpay,who is a PhD student at Queen Mary University of London, states that it is more evident that bees may be capable of experiencing feelings."They may actually experience some kind of positive emotional states,even if basic, like other larger animals do.This finding has effects on (横线下方不可作答)4 班级： 姓名： in the balance(二) 2.5分) our understanding of the sense and welfare of insects, which,consequently,encourages us to respect and protect wildlife on Earth ever more,"she says. 1.What is the new finding about bees?

B When floods destroyed Bangkok more than a decade ago,Thai landscape architect Voraakhom became determined to help her sinking hometown fight this deadly climate threat."For us,climate change is primarily a water crisis,"she said. The architect integrates nature and water into her designs to create landscapes that help ease flooding and add greenery to densely populated cities."To date, Thailand has tried to tackle its flooding problem by building higher and higher dams,"she said,arguing that this is the wrong approach and a solution based on fear."The central question sinking cities like Bangkok need to focus on is how we are going to live with the water,without fear.” One of Voraakhom's most innovative designs is 1 必修第三册 Centenary Park,which stores large amounts of rainwater and prevents the surrounding streets from flooding.Voraakhom also created Asia's largest rooftop farm,Siam Green Sky,which recycles food waste from restaurants in the building below and uses it as plant fertilizer.The farm also slows down and stores large amounts of rainwater.Inspired by Thailand's traditional agricultural practices,the architect created a landscape which allows rainwater to pour into the herb gardens. A research fellow at the Stockholm Environment Institute,Diane Archer,said,"For Voraakhom's urban green spaces,not only are they designed to tackle flooding by acting as water storage spaces,but they contribute to cleaning the air and providing essential green oases in our concrete jungle,so important for mental and physical health.Even at a small scale,these parks are beneficial to the residents,and we could do with more.” Voraakhom's designs and the lessons are now expanding beyond Thailand."Green climate-adapted areas are a good long-term investment for cities,"she said,"and the best solution for the next generation." 5.How does Voraakhom help cities with a large population to address flooding? A.By building higher and higher dams. B.By countering the fear of residents. C.By painting landscapes for the cities. D.By using nature and water in her design. 6.What is food waste in Siam Green Sky used to do? A.To store rainwater. B.To fertilize herb gardens. C.To create a landscape. D.To be recycled by restaurants. 7.What does Archer think of Voraakhom's designs? A.They benefit the health of citizens. B.They discover green oases in cities. C.They become the biggest air cleaner. D.They increase concrete storage in cities. 8.What is the best title for the text? A.Agricultural practices in Thailand B.Thailand's efforts in tackling flooding C.The work principle of the rooftop farm D.An architect helping sinking cities fight flooding 红对勾·讲与练4 Ⅱ.阅读七选五（每小题2.5分，共12.5分） (2025·海南海口高三期中) While traveling,it's important to do it in a way that preserves these natural attractions for the next generation to enjoy as well.It's always a good idea to travel in an environmentally friendly way.1()The following are some tips for eco-friendly travel.
