It is nt news that the squid can rapidly change the clr f their skin-making different patterns fr cmmunicatin smething ther squid species are als knwn t d.
Bt it is ttally dark where the Humbldt squid live, mre than ne thusand feet belw the cean surface. S their pattern is invisible. Instead, a new study suggests that they create backlighting fr the patterns by making their bdies glw, like the screen f an ereader.
“Right nw, what blws my mind in there’s prbably squid talking t each ther in the deep cean and they’re prbably sharing all srts f cl infrmatin.” said Ben Burfrd, a graduate student at Stanfrd University.
Burfrd and his fallw researchers studied deep-water recrdings made by remtely perated vehicles ff the Califrnia cast. They fund the squid make arund 30 different patterns, sme f which are nly used arund ther squid, suggesting they’re used fr cmmunicatin, The squid als appear t rerder the patterns, almst like wrds in a sentence.
“That’s really exciting because then yu can say a whle lt mre based n their arrangement,” Burfrd said. “S, they culd fr instance say, hey, that fish ver there is mine, and I’m the ruling squid.”
The findings culd change the way scientists think abut biluminescence (生物荧光), which is used by many deep-sea animals t attract prey r a mate.
“We generally think f deep: sea stuff as having very simple displays because it’s a lw-light envirnment,” said Mike Vecchine, a zlgist frm the Natinal Museum f Natural Museum f Natural Histry. “This turns sme f ur ideas abut biluminescence almst arund upside dwn.”
The deep cean is a challenging place t study, s Vecchine said there may be much mre cmplexity t discver.

Hsiung drew inspiratin frm shrt cking vides that are ppular n Instagram and TikTk, “These vides manage t develp a descriptin and cliffhanger, s that yu’re interested and curius abut hw fd materials will all cme tgether.” S Hsiung made a series f 30-secnd cartn line-drawing vides that, like the cking vides, eventually ended up as smething highly recgnizable, like a dg.
Mre than 2,000 adults frm acrss the U.S. then watched 25 f these shrt line-drawing vides nline. Participants in Hsiung’s study were asked alng the way hw curius they were, hw they felt, and t guess what the drawing wuld becme. Viewers als had a “spiler” buttn t skip ahead t see the final drawing. Hsiung and her team were surprised t find that when peple were curius, they avided hitting the “spiler” buttn and kept watching the drawings unfld. It was when peple were less curius that they tended t pt fr an instant answer. Curisity didn’t just mtivate getting answers, but increased the value f the jurney itself.
The study als fund that curisity increased at different stages f watching these vides. Higher curisity during mments where it seemed like the drawing culd tun int anything and als when participants were starting t really hme in n a single answer. Curisity als inspired peple’s feeling f jy, explaining why peple kept watching the line-drawing vide even when they culd just hit a buttn t get the answer right away. This helps explain why peple ften avid spilers. Knwing the end f a new TV series, fr example, can remve the enjyment f watching the plt develp.
Researchers suggest that inspiring curisity might als help raise mtivatin in the classrm t ptentially imprve learning. Increasing curisity can imprve memry by readying the brain fr new infrmatin and strengthen persistence thrughut a learning jurney, which is ften needed fr deep understanding.

（2024·安徽合肥·一模）A key part f prtecting endangered species is figuring ut where they’re living. Using envirnmental DNA, r eDNA, t track species isn’t new. Fr a few years nw, researchers have been using DNA in water.
Tw teams f scientists — ne in Denmark led by Dr Kristine Bhmann and ne in the UK led by Dr Elizabeth Clare — came up with the same questin at abut the same time: Culd they identify the animals in an area frm DNA that was simply flating in the air? DNA in the air is usually s small that it wuld take a micrscpe t see it. “I thught the chances f cllecting animal DNA frm air wuld be slim thugh much time had been spent n it, but we mved n,” said Bhmann wh was trying t think f a crazy research idea fr a Danish fundatin that funds far-ut science.
One team cllected samples frm different lcatins at Denmark’s Cpenhagen Z, and the ther at Hamertn Z Park in the UK. Clearly, they bth chse the zs. “We realized we have the Cpenhagen Z,” Bhmann recalls. In fact, bth the zs in the UK and Denmark were almst like the zs that were custm-built fr the experiments: The animals in the zs were nn-native, s they really stuck ut in DNA analyses. “If we detect a flaming (火烈鸟), we’re sure it’s nt cming frm anywhere else but the z,” Bhmann says.
In the labratry, by cmparing their samples with examples f DNA frm different animals, the scientists succeeded in identifying many different animals at the zs.
Neither team knew that the ther team was wrking n a similar experiment. The tw were nearing submissin t a scientific jurnal when they discvered abut the ther experiment. Rather than cmpete t rush ut a publicatin first, they gt in tuch and decided t publish their findings as a pair. “We bth thught the papers are strnger tgether,” says Clare.
“The next step is t figure ut hw t take this methd int nature t track animals that are hard t spt, including endangered animals,” says Bhmann.
13．What did Bhmann initially think f the experiment?
A．It culd be a failure.B．It wuldn’t take lng.C．It wasn’t riginal.D．It wuld cst much.

（2024·河南许昌·模拟预测）Husehld chres (家务活) may cntribute t healthy aging, accrding t a study published in the jurnal BMJ Open. Researchers frm Singapre fund that regular physical activity, including tasks like dusting, scrubbing flrs, and washing windws, can imprve physical and mental health, reduce the risk f chrnic diseases, and decrease falls, immbility, dependency, and mrtality amng lder adults.
The study invlved 249 participants aged 21 t 64 and 240 participants aged 65 t 90. Participants cmpleted cgnitive (认知) functin tests and physical capability assessments. They were asked abut their levels f physical activity, including light husewrk (such as dusting) and heavy husewrk (such as flr-scrubbing). The researchers fund that lder adults wh engaged in high amunts f heavy husewrk had higher cgnitive and attentin scres cmpared t thse wh did lw levels r n heavy husewrk at all. These participants als had lwer sit-t-stand times and were at a lwer risk f falling. Similarly, lder adults wh reprted high levels f light husewrk had higher cgnitive and memry scres cmpared t thse wh did lw levels f such tasks.
Dr. Shiu-Liang Wee, c-authr f the research, emphasized that health messaging n staying active shuld nt nly fcus n recreatinal physical activities. He highlighted that husewrk is a purpseful activity perfrmed by many lder adults and is linked t sharper memry and better fall prtectin.
Hwever, experts urge cautin when interpreting the study’s findings. Prfessr Gill Livingstn frm University Cllege Lndn nted that peple wh are nt well may be expected t d less husewrk, and the study did nt establish a causal relatinship between husewrk and health utcmes. Prfessr Charlie Fster frm the University f Bristl highlighted that the study relied n self-reprted levels f husehld chres, which may be inaccurate, and did nt fully cnsider ther factrs that culd influence the results. While the study suggests that husehld chre may have benefits fr lder adults’ health, further research is needed t better understand the relatinship between husewrk and healthy aging.
17．Hw did the researchers measure the participants’ levels f physical activity?

（2024·黑龙江·二模）Next time yu hear peple say that Neanderthals (穴居人), an extinct type f man living in Eurpe in the Stne Age, aren’t s bright, tell them this stry.
At least 400,000 years ag, campfires went mainstream as early humans used them as a means f survival. As time went by, they made fires inside the caves where they lived and did s withut a fireplace (壁炉) r a chimney.
This is n easy skill. “When yu make a fire in an enclsed space, there is a danger f breathing in smke. And in many cases, it desn’t allw ne even t stay near the fire because f smke,” said Ran Barkai, an archaelgist at Tel Aviv University.
S hw did Neanderthals d it? Barkai and his team were determined t find ut. They built a virtual mdel f the Lazaret Cave n France’s Mediterranean cast—a place early humans called hme 170,000 years ag. The scientists placed 16 fireplaces thrughut the cave and studied where the smke went. “In the middle f the cave is the best place if yu wish t avid as much smke as pssible,” said Barkai. As it happens, the middle f the cave is exactly where prehistric peple put their fires fr generatins.
Barkai said there was a bit f trial and errr invlved. “It’s clear t us that Neanderthals made a survey f the cave nce they entered and invited a Neanderthal internal designer. And then they decided where they put the kitchen, the sleeping area and s n,” he said.
Sarah Hlubik f Gerge Washingtn University wasn’t invlved in the study but called it clever. “The experiment illustrates hw early humans used their intelligence t deal with a punishing climate. What I want mst is t take a lk at ther sites that have relatively cmplete and undamaged caves and see if the practice supprts their cnclusin,” she said.
25．What can we knw frm Paragraph 2?
A．Neanderthals used a fireplace in a unique way.
B．The caves where Neanderthals lived had a chimney.
C．Neanderthals relying n campfires breathed in much smke.
D．The way Neanderthals made use f fires develped ver time.
26．Why did Barkai’s team build a virtual mdel f the Lazaret Cave?
A．T chse the perfect place fr the 16 fireplaces.
B．T study prehistric humans’ hbbies and habits.
C．T research what materials Neanderthals burnt t make fires.
D．T find ut hw Neanderthals used fires in an enclsed place.
27．Hw did early Neanderthals avid smke when making fires?
A．By keeping the fires away frm the bedrms.

Fr the study, the researchers at UBC analyzed the develpmental scres f 27,372 children in Metr Vancuver wh attended kindergarten between 2005 and 2011.They estimated the amunt f green space arund each child’s residence frm birth t age five. They als assessed levels f traffic-related air pllutin and cmmunity nise.
The results highlight the fundamental imprtance f natural green spaces like street trees, parks and cmmunity gardens. “Mst f the children were ding well in their develpment, in terms f language skills, cgnitive (认知的) capacity, scializatin and ther utcmes,” says Ingrid Jarvis, a PhD candidate in the department f frest and cnservatin sciences at UBC． “But what’s interesting is that thse children living in a residential lcatin with mre vegetatin and richer natural envirnments shwed better verall develpment than their peers with less green space.”
Accrding t the researchers, the reasn fr this is partly green spaces’ ability t reduce the harmful effects f air pllutin and nise - envirnmental challenges that have been shwn t adversely (不利地) affect children’s health and develpment thrugh increased stress, sleep disturbances and central nervus system damage. “Few studies have investigated this pathway linking green space and develpmental utcmes amng children,” adds Jarvis.
The researchers assessed early childhd develpment using the Early Develpment Instrument (EDI), a survey cmpleted by kindergarten teachers fr each child. The tl measures a child’s ability t meet age-apprpriate develpmental expectatins.
“Mre research is needed, but ur findings suggest that urban planning effrts t increase green space in residential neighburhds and arund schls are beneficial fr early childhd develpment, with ptential health benefits thrughut life,” says the study’s senir authr Matilda Bsch. “Time in nature can benefit everyne, but if we want ur children t have a gd head start, it’s imprtant t prvide an enriching envirnment thrugh nature cntact.”

（2024·山西太原·一模）Influenced by factrs like schl funding, sprts facilities, teacher resurces and safetycncems, traditinal physical educatin was limited t static (静态的) scenes and clsed gymsand playgrunds, which lacked interactin and feedback functins. PE curiculum was als restricted t basic sprts like ball games, track and field and gymnastics. Hwever, the emergence and applicatin f new technlgies like virtual reality (VR), 3D technlgy, greatly expand and innvate sprts scenes, prviding pssibilities fr the cnstructin f a flexible “n-site, n- campus, nline” integrated new sprts wrld.
IT can build nline virtual learning envirnments fr students, creating teaching scenes hard t achieve in physical wrld. Many schls have already partnered with technlgy cmpanies t create different teaching scenes using digital sprts prducts. The University f Suth Flrida has cperated with the VR sprts training cmpany Sense Arena, allwing students t practice tennis n its glbally pineering VR tennis training platfrm. Students use the Meta Quest 2 headset and VR tuching racket (球拍) which imitates the weight and feel f a real tennis racket. The platfrm features 35 training mdes imitating varius scenes in real-life tennis matches, including crwd nise, dazzling sunlight, shadws and wind. Athletes can engage in varius frms f training, such as skill practice, technical analysis and match imitatin. Such virtual sprts teaching space further enhances the experience f PE leaming.
Technlgy-based physical educatin nt nly serves rdinary students’ physical health but als addresses the needs f special grups in sprts, especially students wh cannt participate in regular PE classes due t physical, psychlgical r scial adaptatin issues. Many schls ffer specialized sprts prgrams t disabled students, like the “Pathways t Inclusin” prgram launched by the University f Queensland, which tailrs varius sprts activities t different disabilities, such as blind ftball and wheelchair hckey. This is made pssible with the supprt f sprts technlgy, as different symptms require the use f different sprts equipment.

(参与者完成了认知功能测试和体能评估。他们被问及自己的体力活动水平，包括轻家务（如除尘）和重家务（如擦地板）。)”和“Similarly, lder adults wh reprted high levels f light husewrk had higher cgnitive and memry scres cmpared t thse wh did lw levels f such tasks. (同样，与那些做低水平家务的人相比，报告做高水平轻家务的老年人的认知和记忆得分更高。)”可知，研究人员通过听参与者的口头报告来测量参与者的体育活动水平。故选D项。
18．推理判断题。由第二段中“The researchers fund that lder adults wh engaged in high amunts f heavy husewrk had higher cgnitive and attentin scres cmpared t thse wh did lw levels r n heavy husewrk at all. These participants als had lwer sit-t-stand times and were at a lwer risk f falling. Similarly, lder adults wh reprted high levels f light husewrk had higher cgnitive and memry scres cmpared t thse wh did lw levels f such tasks. (研究人员发现，与那些做少量或根本不做繁重家务的人相比，从事大量繁重家务的老年人的认知和注意力得分更高。这些参与者从坐到站的时间也较短，摔倒的风险也较低。同样，与那些做低水平家务的人相比，报告做高水平轻家务的老年人的认知和记忆得分更高。)”可知，不管是做繁重家务还是轻度家务，老年人的认知和注意力比不做或少做（繁重或轻度）家务的老人得分更高，可得出不管是繁重家务还是轻度家务，都对老年人有益。故选A项。
