Here are the best online language learning courses we’ve put together for your reference. Rosetta Stone Price: $7.99 per month — $199 one-time payment Number of languages: 28 Rosetta Stone has long been known as the go-to service for new language learners. It offers lessons that are short enough to complete each day, but long enough to actually get something out of. Rosetta Stone’s interface (界面) is generally easy to use, and its lessons include reading, writing, speaking and listening, all in one lesson. You can also choose to subscribe (订阅) to a monthly payment or purchase a lifetime license. Duolingo Price: Free — $6.99 per month Number of languages: 36 Duolingo has risen as a serious competitor to Rosetta Stone over the past few years. The service is perhaps best known for its Android and iOS apps and those apps are available for free, which makes it easy to practice your chosen language without having to make a serious commitment. Alternatively, you can sign up for Duolingo Plus, which removes ads, offers offline courses, and more. Many consider Duolingo to be better for those who want to practice a language rather than learning from the very beginning. Babbel Price: $6.95 per month — $12.95 per month Number of languages: 14 Looking for a service to challenge your language-learning skills? Babbel may be the way to go. Babbel is excellent at teaching phrases and words that you’ll actually use on a day-to-day basis. The service is also relatively cheap, so if you’re unsure if you want to commit to learning a new language yet, the low subscription prices ensure you don’t have to make a huge commitment. Memrise Price: $6.67 per month — $119.99 one-time payment Number of languages: 16 If you learn best through repetition and flashcards (识字卡), then Memrise may be the service for you. It’s relatively inexpensive, making it easier to sign up. Memrise isn’t necessarily the service for those who want to learn a language from scratch (从头开始), but it’s a great learning aid, and good for those who already have a foundation in language-learning. 16．What is special about Rosetta Stone?

To do that I signed up for a difficult training program that covered everything from the basics of landscape design to more advanced topics.” In addition to formal education, gaining practical experience is essential for developing the skills needed to be a successful garden designer. “I also spent countless hours volunteering at botanical gardens to gain hands-on experience in the field,” Karen recalls. “It was during these experiences that I learned about plant care and design, and how they interact to create beautiful outdoor spaces.” “Those interested in becoming a landscape gardener may try building a collection of photographs, drafts or computer drawings of garden plans that demonstrate skills and creativity,” Karen suggests. “As I gained experience, I started building a catalogue (目录簿) of my work to show my abilities to potential clients or employers.” One of the most rewarding aspects of the job for Karen has been the opportunity to work with clients to turn their outdoor spaces into something truly unique and beautiful. “I love listening to my clients’ visions and bringing them to life through thoughtful design and plant selection. Seeing the joy on their faces as they walk through their newly designed garden is an experience that never gets old,” says Karen. “Of course, like any profession, there are challenges. The long hours are tiring, and the weather and soil conditions can all present obstacles (障碍) to creating the perfect outdoor space. But it’s these challenges that make the job all the more rewarding when you’re able to overcome them and create something truly special. “All in all, becoming a professional garden designer allows me to combine my love for nature with my desire to create beauty. Plus, I always end up having a good night’s rest due to the physical parts of the job. I wouldn’t have it any other way,” Karen concludes. 21．What might Karen think of the training program? A．It played a key role in her job switch. B．It was too difficult for her to complete. C．It focused much on basic designing. D．It failed to meet her expectations. 22．What does Karen suggest potential landscape gardeners do? A．Start their own garden. B．Listen to employers’ ideas. C．Volunteer at botanical gardens. D．Build up their bank of work samples. 23．What gives Karen lasting joy in her work? A．Working long hours under the sun. B．Watching clients’ satisfied reactions. C．Overcoming bad weather and soil conditions. D．Gaining a deeper understanding of gardening. 24．What does Karen say about the challenges of the job? A．They make her want to quit. B．They are not worth the effort. C．They are rare and easy to fix. D．They make success feel more rewarding. 25．For what reason does Karen appreciate the physical aspect of her job? A．It benefits her sleep. B．It keeps her energetic. C．It strengthens her muscles. D．It inspires her curiosity about nature. 【答案】21．A 22．D 23．B 24．D 25．A 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述凯伦从房地产行业转行成为专业花园设计师的经历、成长心得以及对这份职业的热爱与感悟。 21．推理判断题。根据第一段中的“I committed to gaining a deeper understanding of the principles of design. To do that I signed up for a difficult training program that covered everything from the basics of landscape design to more advanced topics.(我决心更深入地理解设计原理。为此，我报名参加了一个难度很高的培训课程，课程内容涵盖了从景观设计基础到更高级主题的方方面面。)”可知，这个培训课程帮助凯伦掌握了设计相关知识，对她的转行起到了关键作用。故选A项。 22．细节理解题。根据第三段中的““Those interested in becoming a landscape gardener may try building a collection of photographs, drafts or computer drawings of garden plans that demonstrate skills and creativity,” Karen suggests. (“那些有兴趣成为景观园丁的人可以尝试收集能够展示自己技能和创造力的花园设计方案的照片、草图或电脑绘图。” 凯伦建议到。)”可知，凯伦建议想要从事该职业的人建立自己的作品样本库。故选D项。 23．细节理解题。根据第四段中的““I love listening to my clients’ visions and bringing them to life through thoughtful design and plant selection. Seeing the joy on their faces as they walk through their newly designed garden is an experience that never gets old,” says Karen. (“我喜欢倾听客户的构想，再通过用心的设计和植物选配，将这些构想付诸现实。看着他们漫步在全新打造的花园里，脸上洋溢着喜悦，这种幸福感永远不会褪色。”凯伦说。)”可知，看到客户满意的反应，能给凯伦带来持久的快乐。故选B项。 24．细节理解题。根据第五段中的“But it’s these challenges that make the job all the more rewarding when you’re able to overcome them and create something truly special.(但正是这些挑战，让你在克服它们并创造出真正特别的作品时，这份工作变得更有价值。)”可知，凯伦认为工作中的挑战会让成功的喜悦更有意义。故选D项。 25．细节理解题。根据第六段中的“Plus, I always end up having a good night’s rest due to the physical parts of the job.(此外，由于这份工作涉及体力劳动，我晚上总能睡得很香。)”可知，凯伦欣赏这份工作的体力劳动部分是因为这对她的睡眠有好处。故选A项。 C A is for always getting to work on time. B is for being extremely busy. C is for the conscientious (勤勤恳恳的) way you do your job. You may be all these things at the office, and more. But when it comes to getting ahead, experts say, the ABCs of business should include a P, for politics, as in office politics. Dale Carnegie suggested as much more than 50 years ago: Hard work alone doesn’t ensure career advancement. You have to be able to sell yourself and your ideas, both publicly and behind the scenes. Yet, despite the obvious rewards of engaging in office politics — a better job, a raise, praise — many people are still unable — or unwilling — to “play the game”. “People assume that office politics involves some manipulative (工于心计的) behavior.” says Deborah Comer, an assistant professor of management at Hofstra University. “But politics derives from the word ‘polite’. It can mean lobbying and forming associations. It can mean being kind and helpful, or even trying to please your superior, and then expecting something in return.” In fact, today, experts define office politics as proper behavior used to pursue one’s own self-interest in the workplace. In many cases, this involves some form of socializing within the office environment — not just in large companies, but in small workplaces as well. “The first thing people are usually judged on is their ability to perform well on a consistent basis.” says Neil P. Lewis, a management psychologist. “But if two or three candidates are up for a promotion, each of whom has reasonably similar ability, a manager is going to promote the person he or she likes best. It’s simple human nature.” Yet, psychologists say, many employees and employers have trouble with the concept of politics in the office. Some people, they say, have an idealistic vision of work and what it takes to succeed. Still others associate politics with flattery (奉承), fearful that, if they speak up for themselves, they may appear to be flattering their boss for favors. Experts suggest altering this negative picture by recognizing the need for some self-promotion. 26．The phrase “office politics” (Para.4) is used in the passage to refer to _________. A．the code of behavior for company staff B．the political views and beliefs of office workers C．the interpersonal relationships within a company D．the various qualities required for a successful career 27．To get promoted, one must not only be competent but _________. A．give his boss a good impression B．honest and loyal to his company C．get along well with his colleagues D．avoid being too outstanding 28．Why are many people unwilling to “play the game” (Para.5) ? A．They believe that doing so is impractical. B．They feel that such behavior is unprincipled. C．They are not good at manipulating colleagues. D．They think the effort will get them nowhere. 29．The author considers office politics to be _________. A．unwelcome at the workplace B．bad for interpersonal relationships C．indispensable to the development of company culture D．an important factor for personal advancement 30．It is the author’s view that _________. A．speaking up for oneself is part of human nature B．self-promotion does not necessarily mean flattery C．hard work contributes very little to one’s promotion D．many employees fail to recognize the need of flattery 【答案】26．C 27．A 28．B 29．D 30．B 【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章以“职场政治”为话题展开，打破了人们对其“工于心计”的负面认知，指出其本质是职场中合理的人际交往与自我推销，且对个人职业发展至关重要。 26．词义猜测题。根据文章第七段内容“In fact, today, experts define office politics as, proper behavior used to pursue one’s own self-interest in the workplace. In many cases, this involves some form of socializing within the office environment—not just in large companies, but in small workplaces as well.(事实上，如今专家将办公室政治定义为：在工作场所为实现自身利益而采取的恰当行为。在很多情况下，这包括在办公室环境中进行某种形式的社交活动——不仅在大型公司如此，在小型工作场所也是如此。)”可知，文章中的“office politics(办公室政治)”理解为在工作场所为实现自身利益而采取的恰当行为，包含办公室社交在内，所以办公室政治是指一种人际关系。故选C项。 27．推理判断题。根据文章第八段内容“But if two or three candidates are up for a promotion, each of whom has reasonably similar ability, a manager is going to promote the person he or she likes best. It’s simple human nature.(但如果有两个或三个候选人有资格获得晋升，而他们每个人的能力又都相当相近，那么管理者就会倾向于提拔自己最欣赏的那个人。这是很符合人类本性的行为。)”可知，若多名候选人能力相近，经理会晋升自己更喜欢的人。由此推知，“让老板产生好感”是除能力外的关键因素。故选A项。 28．推理判断题。根据文章第六段内容“People assume that office politics involves some manipulative behavior.(人们普遍认为，办公室政治包含着一些工于心计的行为。)”，而第九段内容“Still others associate politics with flattery, fearful that, if they speak up for themselves, they may appear to be flattering their boss for favors.(还有一些人则将政治与阿谀奉承联系在一起，他们担心，如果自己为自己发声，可能会给人留下在讨好上司以换取好处的印象。)”则解释部分人将其与奉承关联，并担心显得“不道德”。由此推知，很多人不愿意“玩这种游戏”本质原因是认为这种行为 “不符合原则”。故选B项。 29．推理判断题。根据文章第三段内容“But when it comes to getting ahead, experts say, the ABCs of business should include a P, for politics, as in office politics.(但专家们表示，在谋求成功的过程中，商业领域的“ABC法则”中应当包含一个“P”——即“政治”，比如办公室里的政治关系。)”以及末尾段内容“Experts suggest altering this negative picture by recognizing the need for some self-promotion.(专家建议通过认识到自我推销的必要性来改变这种负面印象。)”可知，作者引用专家的观点和建议提出了“办公室政治”在工作中的重要性。由此推知，作者认为办公室政治对职业发展至关重要。故选D项。 30．推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段内容“Yet, psychologists say, many employees and employers have trouble with the concept of politics in the office…Still others associate politics with flattery, fearful that, if they speak up for themselves, they may appear to be flattering their boss for favors.(然而，心理学家表示，许多员工和雇主都难以理解办公室里的“政治”概念……还有一些人将“政治”与奉承联系在一起，他们担心如果自己为自己发声，可能会给人留下是在讨好老板以换取好处的印象。)”以及末尾段内容“Experts suggest altering this negative picture by recognizing the need for some self-promotion.(专家建议通过认识到自我推销的必要性来改变这种负面印象。)”可知，在作者看来，办公室政治是自我推销的必要方式，将办公室政治，即自我推销，理解为“奉承”是一种误解，自我推销并不一定意味着奉承。故选B项。 D Many of the drugs we take aren’t actually digested — they pass through our bodies, and down through the sewer (下水道) pipes. Traces of those drugs end up in the bodies of fish and other wildlife. Nobody’s sure what effect they have. Now, a paper being published in Science magazine finds that drugs to treat anxiety can affect the behavior of fish. This particular story starts with some fish that live in a creek just downstream from a sewage treatment plant in southern Sweden. Scientists collected the perch (鲈鱼) in that area and discovered that they had accumulated low levels of anxiety drugs in their bodies. Environmental scientist Jonatan Klaminder led a couple of his workmate at Umea University in Sweden to tackle this question in the lab. In the lab, they put some perch in a fish tank to see how they behaved under normal circumstances. Then they added some of a anxiety drug called oxazepam into the tank. The concentrations (浓度) of the drug were the same to those found in the river. “They became more unsociable and more active, and they were actually more effective in eating,” Klaminder says. “This drug actually removes some of the fear, the sense of fear, from these fishes. So instead of being afraid they focus on feeding.” Staying close to others is a well-known defense system to avoid natural enemies. In the wild, it is highly dangerous for a small fish to move away from the fish group. “The most likely outcome will be that a bigger fish will eat it,” he says. Over time, the whole food chain will be changed. The problem doesn’t present an obvious threat to people who might drink water from streams or eat the fish that live in them. The presence of drugs in surface waters — or even in fish and shellfish — is much lower than the levels that you might need to be concerned about, says Bryan Brooks of Baylor University in Waco, Texas, USA． But he warns that isn’t necessarily the case in the developing world. “Some studies show, for example, some rivers in India have the highest concentrations of drugs in the environment,” he says. “So the developing world really deserves some additional attention.” 31．The author wrote the text in order to ________. A．solve a problem B．give some advice C．tell an interesting story D．show the results of some research 32．Why did the researchers add oxazepam into the fish container? A．To treat a serious fish disease. B．To develop a new anxiety drug. C．To reduce the anxiety of wild perch. D．To copy wild perch’s living conditions. 33．In the experiment, which is one of the perch’s changes in behavior? A．They ate much less food. B．They spent more time alone.

A．drugs in rivers may be a threat to developing countries B．it is quite safe to drink water with anxiety drugs in India C．Americans should be more careful about drugs in rivers D．in the USA fish with drugs in their bodies cannot be eaten 【答案】31．D 32．D 33．B 34．C 35．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍瑞典科学家的研究发现，河流中的抗焦虑药物会改变鲈鱼行为，进而影响食物链，发展中国家更需关注。 31．推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Now, a paper being published in Science magazine finds that drugs to treat anxiety can affect the behavior of fish.(如今，一篇发表在《科学》杂志上的论文发现，治疗焦虑症的药物会影响鱼类的行为。)”可知，作者写作本文是为了展示相关研究的结果。故选D项。 32．细节理解题。根据第五段中的“The concentrations (浓度) of the drug were the same to those found in the river. (药物的浓度与在河流中发现的浓度相同。)”可知，研究人员在鱼缸中加入药物是为了模拟野生鲈鱼的生存环境。故选D项。 33．细节理解题。根据第六段中的““They became more unsociable and more active, and they were actually more effective in eating,” Klaminder says. (克拉明德说：“它们变得更不合群、也更活跃，而且进食效率实际上也更高了。”)”可知，实验中鲈鱼的行为变化之一是它们会花更多时间独处。故选B项。 34．推理判断题。根据第七段中的“In the wild, it is highly dangerous for a small fish to move away from the fish group. “The most likely outcome will be that a bigger fish will eat it,” he says. Over time, the whole food chain will be changed. (在野外，小鱼离开鱼群是非常危险的。他说：“最有可能的结果是被更大的鱼吃掉。”随着时间的推移，整个食物链将会被改变。)”可知，抗焦虑药让鱼不再害怕、脱离鱼群，极易被大鱼捕食，对小鱼是致命影响。故选C项。 35．细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“But he warns that isn’t necessarily the case in the developing world. “Some studies show, for example, some rivers in India have the highest concentrations of drugs in the environment,” he says. “So the developing world really deserves some additional attention.”(但他警告说，发展中国家的情况未必如此。他说：“例如，一些研究表明，印度的一些河流中药物的环境浓度最高。因此，发展中国家确实值得更多关注。”)”可知，在布莱恩·布鲁克斯看来，河流中的药物可能对发展中国家构成威胁。故选A项。 三、完形填空(共10小题;每小题1分,满分10分) 阅读下列短文,从短文后各题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Cooperation is important in everyday life.

This communication process can be complex and challenging 49 , with practice and patience, we can become a highly competent 50 (communicate). To accomplish this, we need to know with 51 we are communicating and his/her basic information. And we can then use it to determine how best to communicate with them. While communicating with others, we not only use words but also use a lot of body language. When we notice a change in the other’s body language, we should make 52 (adjust) to how we will communicate accordingly. Body language is 53 (sure) important in communication, but the value of empathy shouldn’t 54 (understate).

Here are the best online language learning courses we’ve put together for your reference. Rosetta Stone Price: $7.99 per month — $199 one-time payment Number of languages: 28 Rosetta Stone has long been known as the go-to service for new language learners. It offers lessons that are short enough to complete each day, but long enough to actually get something out of. Rosetta Stone’s interface (界面) is generally easy to use, and its lessons include reading, writing, speaking and listening, all in one lesson. You can also choose to subscribe (订阅) to a monthly payment or purchase a lifetime license. Duolingo Price: Free — $6.99 per month Number of languages: 36 Duolingo has risen as a serious competitor to Rosetta Stone over the past few years. The service is perhaps best known for its Android and iOS apps and those apps are available for free, which makes it easy to practice your chosen language without having to make a serious commitment. Alternatively, you can sign up for Duolingo Plus, which removes ads, offers offline courses, and more. Many consider Duolingo to be better for those who want to practice a language rather than learning from the very beginning. Babbel Price: $6.95 per month — $12.95 per month Number of languages: 14 Looking for a service to challenge your language-learning skills? Babbel may be the way to go. Babbel is excellent at teaching phrases and words that you’ll actually use on a day-to-day basis. The service is also relatively cheap, so if you’re unsure if you want to commit to learning a new language yet, the low subscription prices ensure you don’t have to make a huge commitment. Memrise Price: $6.67 per month — $119.99 one-time payment Number of languages: 16 If you learn best through repetition and flashcards (识字卡), then Memrise may be the service for you. It’s relatively inexpensive, making it easier to sign up. Memrise isn’t necessarily the service for those who want to learn a language from scratch (从头开始), but it’s a great learning aid, and good for those who already have a foundation in language-learning. 16．What is special about Rosetta Stone? A．It features a simple interface without ads. B．It is intended for high-level learners. C．It helps improve various language skills. D．It offers a one-month free trial. 17．What is Babbel’s focus when it comes to teaching language? A．Grammatical rules and syntactic structures. B．Accent and pronunciation. C．Vocabulary and everyday phrases. D．Cultural customs and traditions. 18．Which of the following is TRUE about Memrise? A．It’s very expensive for most learners. B．It’s not a good choice for people with basic language . C．It’s easy to sign up because of its low price. D．It offers more than 20 languages for learning. 19．What do Duolingo and Memrise have in common? A．They offer free Android and iOS apps. B．They are more suitable for people with certain basis. C．They allow users to take offline courses. D．They provide courses of over 20 languages. 20．What is the purpose of the passage? A．To encourage students to learn a new language. B．To provide four apps for only English learners. C．To show the benefits of learning language online. D．To introduce four language learning courses online. B “I’ve always enjoyed gardening, but I’ve always been aware from the get-go (从一开始) that there had to be more to being a professional garden designer than that,” says Karen Martin, who worked in real estate before changing careers. “I committed to gaining a deeper understanding of the principles of design. To do that I signed up for a difficult training program that covered everything from the basics of landscape design to more advanced topics.” In addition to formal education, gaining practical experience is essential for developing the skills needed to be a successful garden designer. “I also spent countless hours volunteering at botanical gardens to gain hands-on experience in the field,” Karen recalls. “It was during these experiences that I learned about plant care and design, and how they interact to create beautiful outdoor spaces.” “Those interested in becoming a landscape gardener may try building a collection of photographs, drafts or computer drawings of garden plans that demonstrate skills and creativity,” Karen suggests. “As I gained experience, I started building a catalogue (目录簿) of my work to show my abilities to potential clients or employers.” One of the most rewarding aspects of the job for Karen has been the opportunity to work with clients to turn their outdoor spaces into something truly unique and beautiful. “I love listening to my clients’ visions and bringing them to life through thoughtful design and plant selection. Seeing the joy on their faces as they walk through their newly designed garden is an experience that never gets old,” says Karen. “Of course, like any profession, there are challenges. The long hours are tiring, and the weather and soil conditions can all present obstacles (障碍) to creating the perfect outdoor space. But it’s these challenges that make the job all the more rewarding when you’re able to overcome them and create something truly special. “All in all, becoming a professional garden designer allows me to combine my love for nature with my desire to create beauty. Plus, I always end up having a good night’s rest due to the physical parts of the job. I wouldn’t have it any other way,” Karen concludes. 21．What might Karen think of the training program? A．It played a key role in her job switch. B．It was too difficult for her to complete. C．It focused much on basic designing. D．It failed to meet her expectations. 22．What does Karen suggest potential landscape gardeners do? A．Start their own garden. B．Listen to employers’ ideas. C．Volunteer at botanical gardens. D．Build up their bank of work samples. 23．What gives Karen lasting joy in her work? A．Working long hours under the sun. B．Watching clients’ satisfied reactions. C．Overcoming bad weather and soil conditions. D．Gaining a deeper understanding of gardening. 24．What does Karen say about the challenges of the job? A．They make her want to quit. B．They are not worth the effort. C．They are rare and easy to fix. D．They make success feel more rewarding. 25．For what reason does Karen appreciate the physical aspect of her job? A．It benefits her sleep. B．It keeps her energetic. C．It strengthens her muscles. D．It inspires her curiosity about nature. C A is for always getting to work on time. B is for being extremely busy. C is for the conscientious (勤勤恳恳的) way you do your job. You may be all these things at the office, and more. But when it comes to getting ahead, experts say, the ABCs of business should include a P, for politics, as in office politics. Dale Carnegie suggested as much more than 50 years ago: Hard work alone doesn’t ensure career advancement. You have to be able to sell yourself and your ideas, both publicly and behind the scenes. Yet, despite the obvious rewards of engaging in office politics — a better job, a raise, praise — many people are still unable — or unwilling — to “play the game”. “People assume that office politics involves some manipulative (工于心计的) behavior.” says Deborah Comer, an assistant professor of management at Hofstra University. “But politics derives from the word ‘polite’. It can mean lobbying and forming associations. It can mean being kind and helpful, or even trying to please your superior, and then expecting something in return.” In fact, today, experts define office politics as proper behavior used to pursue one’s own self-interest in the workplace. In many cases, this involves some form of socializing within the office environment — not just in large companies, but in small workplaces as well. “The first thing people are usually judged on is their ability to perform well on a consistent basis.” says Neil P. Lewis, a management psychologist. “But if two or three candidates are up for a promotion, each of whom has reasonably similar ability, a manager is going to promote the person he or she likes best. It’s simple human nature.” Yet, psychologists say, many employees and employers have trouble with the concept of politics in the office. Some people, they say, have an idealistic vision of work and what it takes to succeed. Still others associate politics with flattery (奉承), fearful that, if they speak up for themselves, they may appear to be flattering their boss for favors. Experts suggest altering this negative picture by recognizing the need for some self-promotion. 26．The phrase “office politics” (Para.4) is used in the passage to refer to _________. A．the code of behavior for company staff B．the political views and beliefs of office workers C．the interpersonal relationships within a company D．the various qualities required for a successful career 27．To get promoted, one must not only be competent but _________. A．give his boss a good impression B．honest and loyal to his company C．get along well with his colleagues D．avoid being too outstanding 28．Why are many people unwilling to “play the game” (Para.5) ? A．They believe that doing so is impractical. B．They feel that such behavior is unprincipled. C．They are not good at manipulating colleagues. D．They think the effort will get them nowhere. 29．The author considers office politics to be _________. A．unwelcome at the workplace B．bad for interpersonal relationships C．indispensable to the development of company culture D．an important factor for personal advancement 30．It is the author’s view that _________. A．speaking up for oneself is part of human nature B．self-promotion does not necessarily mean flattery C．hard work contributes very little to one’s promotion D．many employees fail to recognize the need of flattery D Many of the drugs we take aren’t actually digested — they pass through our bodies, and down through the sewer (下水道) pipes. Traces of those drugs end up in the bodies of fish and other wildlife. Nobody’s sure what effect they have. Now, a paper being published in Science magazine finds that drugs to treat anxiety can affect the behavior of fish. This particular story starts with some fish that live in a creek just downstream from a sewage treatment plant in southern Sweden. Scientists collected the perch (鲈鱼) in that area and discovered that they had accumulated low levels of anxiety drugs in their bodies. Environmental scientist Jonatan Klaminder led a couple of his workmate at Umea University in Sweden to tackle this question in the lab. In the lab, they put some perch in a fish tank to see how they behaved under normal circumstances. Then they added some of a anxiety drug called oxazepam into the tank. The concentrations (浓度) of the drug were the same to those found in the river. “They became more unsociable and more active, and they were actually more effective in eating,” Klaminder says. “This drug actually removes some of the fear, the sense of fear, from these fishes. So instead of being afraid they focus on feeding.” Staying close to others is a well-known defense system to avoid natural enemies. In the wild, it is highly dangerous for a small fish to move away from the fish group. “The most likely outcome will be that a bigger fish will eat it,” he says. Over time, the whole food chain will be changed. The problem doesn’t present an obvious threat to people who might drink water from streams or eat the fish that live in them. The presence of drugs in surface waters — or even in fish and shellfish — is much lower than the levels that you might need to be concerned about, says Bryan Brooks of Baylor University in Waco, Texas, USA． But he warns that isn’t necessarily the case in the developing world. “Some studies show, for example, some rivers in India have the highest concentrations of drugs in the environment,” he says. “So the developing world really deserves some additional attention.” 31．The author wrote the text in order to ________. A．solve a problem B．give some advice C．tell an interesting story D．show the results of some research 32．Why did the researchers add oxazepam into the fish container? A．To treat a serious fish disease. B．To develop a new anxiety drug. C．To reduce the anxiety of wild perch. D．To copy wild perch’s living conditions. 33．In the experiment, which is one of the perch’s changes in behavior? A．They ate much less food. B．They spent more time alone.
