At first lk, the playgrund at the Children’s Guild-Transfrmatin Academy in Baltimre, Maryland, lks like any ther. It has swings, slides, and places fr children t climb and crawl. But the playgrund is nt just a place fr fun. It is als a place where students can learn, grw and gain independence. Everything—frm the kind f surface it sits n, t the clr f its sitting areas, t the placement f the surrunding fence—is specifically designed fr kids with autism(自闭症).
Mark Rapaprt is the managing directr f autism services at the Transfrmatin Academy. He said the schl accepts students aged 5 t 21 with autism spectrum disrder (ASD) and are lwer functining.
Rapaprt said the gal f Transfrmatin Academy is t make the students as independent as pssible in an effrt t help them prepare fr adult life. The schl aims t prvide help with develping cmmunicatin and scial skills, as well as practical abilities like cleaning r cking.
The playgrund designed by Maryland cmpany Sparks@Play, using structures manufactured by Landscape Structures, Inc., tk a mnth t develp, said Dan Hack. He wrks fr Sparks@Play and helped lead the playgrund’s design. Hack said he and thers spent weeks getting t knw the students and understanding their needs befre any building was started. The design prcess invlved physical therapists, ccupatinal therapists, and ther specialists. The huge $500,000 prject was funded with supprt frm the state f Maryland and the nnprfit Orkawa Fundatin.
Parts f the playgrund that seem small are very imprtant fr children with autism and ther disabilities. The surrunding fence extends int a wded area t make it seem mre pen. And the grund under the play areas is made f sft, but slid materials t supprt students using wheelchairs r crutches. The benches n the utside f the playgrund lk simple frm far away, but are “ne f ur mst inclusive sensry” elements, Hack said. They have many different clrs that bring abut feelings f calm and curisity. They are als made with smth material that can be felt and mved. The academy’s Rapaprt said if a child starts t feel uneasy, they can sit dwn and feel the bench, which can help them relax.

New findings suggest that when it cmes t learning, the snake may be quite a bit like humans. David Hltzman, a scientist at the University f Rchester, has fund that snakes have a much greater capacity fr learning than earlier studies had indicated.
Hltzman’s study challenged 24 snakes t escape frm a black plastic cntainer the size f a child’s pl. Cards munted n the cntainer’s walls and tape n its flr prvided the snakes with visual and tuchable signals t find their gal: hles in the cntainer’s bttm that ffer a dark, cmfrtable spt t hide.
Simply falling int a hle isn’t the nly prf that the snakes are learning smething, thugh. “Speed t find that gal is ne f the measures which shws they’re learning,” Hltzman says. “On average, they take ver 700 secnds t find the crrect hle n the first day f training, and then g dwn t abut 400 secnds by the furth day f training. Sme are actually very fast and find it in less than 30 secnds.”
Studies dating back t the 1950s interpreted snakes’ awkwardness with mazes(迷宫) as a pr reflectin n their intelligence. “Early attempts t study snake intelligence were prblematic because the studies used mazes as testing arenas(场地)——as thugh snakes might be expected t run thrugh mazes in the same way mice run thrugh mazes,” says Peter Kareiva, a prfessr f zlgy. “Snakes d nt encunter anything like mazes in nature, and they d nt learn hw t run mazes in labratry cnditins.”
Hltzman als fund a few age-based differences in the signals the snakes use. Yung snakes appear t be mre adaptable and resurceful, using a variety f clues t find their way t the exit. But their elders seem t rely much mre heavily n visual clues. “Actually, ne f the amazing findings frm ur studies is that snakes d use visin in lcating places,” says Hltzman. “They dn’t just rely n the chemical clues picked up by sticking their tngues ut, as many snake bilgists assume.”
28．What is the functin f the cards and tape?
A．T direct the snakes t the exits.B．T prtect the snakes frm bright lights.
C．T cver the hles at the cntainer’s bttm.D．T make the cntainer a cmfrtable spt t stay.
29．What d the data in paragraph 3 shw abut the snakes accrding t Hltzman?
A．They are skillful escapers.B．They are gd learners.
C．They cmmunicate with each ther.D．They adapt t envirnments quickly.
30．What was the prblem with early attempts t study snake intelligence?
A．They chse the wrng testing arenas.
B．They failed t d tests in labratry cnditins.
C．They referred t studies dating back t the 1950s.
D．They cmpared snakes with a different kind f animal.
31．What astnishes Hltzman abut snakes?
A．They rely n sight t find their way.
B．They leave chemical clues everywhere.
C．The yung beat their elders in many ways.
D．Their tngues are unable t recgnize chemical clues.

Research led by eclgist Bart Hekstra f the University f Amsterdam shws that birds are affected by the mass use f firewrks n New Year’s Eve up t a distance f 10km (6 miles) away.
With data frm weather radars and bird cunts an internatinal team f researchers revealed hw many birds take ff immediately after the start f the firewrks, at what distance frm firewrks this ccurs and which species grups mainly react.“Birds take ff as a result f an acute flight respnse due t sudden nise and light. We already knew that many water birds react strngly, but nw we als see the effect n ther birds thrughut the Netherlands,” says eclgist Bart Hekstra f the University f Amsterdam. In the scientific jurnal Frntier s in Eclgy and the Envirnment, he researchers therefre argue fr large firewrks-free znes.
Last year, ther researchers at IBED discvered that geese are s affected by firewrks that they spend an average f 10% lnger lking fr fd than nrmal during at least the next 11 days. They apparently need that time t restre their energy t their frmer cnditin, after fleeing frm the firewrks.
Because 62% f all birds in the Netherlands live within a radius f 2.5 km f inhabited areas, the cnsequences f firewrks are high fr all birds thrughut the cuntry. “Flying requires a lt f energy, s ideally birds shuld be disturbed as little as pssible during the cld winter mnths. Measures t ensure this are especially imprtant in pen areas such as grasslands, where many larger birds spend the winter. The effects f firewrks n birds are less prnunced near frests and semi-pen habitats. In additin, smaller birds such as tits and finches live there, which are less likely t fly away frm disturbance.”
The authrs argue fr firewrks-free znes in areas where large birds live. Hekstra: “These buffer znes culd be smaller in areas where light and sund travel less far, such as near frests. Furthermre, firewrks shuld mainly be lit at central lcatins in built-up areas, as far away frm birds as pssible. It wuld be best fr birds if we mved twards light shws withut sund, such as drne shws r decrative firewrks withut very lud bangs.”
32．What can we learn abut the research?
A．It’s the first ne abut firewrks’ effects n birds.
B．It’s cnducted by cllecting data frm weather radars.
C．It shws the extent f the firewrks’ influence n birds.
D．It keeps track f birds thrughut Netherlands and beynd.
33．Why did geese spend mre time lking fr fd?
A．T find a place withut firewrks.B．T stre mre fd in case.
C．T find a new surce f energy.D．T make up fr the lst energy.
34．What des the underlined wrd “prnunced” in Para.4mean?
A．Predictable.B．Nticeable.C．Admirable.D．Avidable.
35．What can be the best title fr the passage?
A．Firewrks in the wrldB．Firewrks-free znes
C．Panic in the airD．Birds thrughut the cuntry
