Hw did the ant steal the lin’s dinner? This isn’t the beginning f ne f Aesp’s Fables. It’s the finding f a new study abut ants and lins.
The whistling-thrn tree is a cmmn sight n the plains f the east African grassland. Each tree is hme t native acacia ants, which shelter inside the spines and drink juice frm the tree. In return, when an elephant tries t eat the tree, ants climb up inside its nse and bite frm the inside ut. This has allwed the trees and the ants t grw well.
The big-headed ants arrived in this area between 2002 and 2005. They kill lcal acacia ants wherever they find them, rbbing lcal whistling-thrn trees f their brave defenders against hungry elephants. Withut ants t bite them, the elephants tear up the thrn trees, pening up the grassland, which makes it harder fr lins t catch their preferred zebra meals.
In the new study, wildlife eclgist Jake Gheen and his clleagues culd have used drnes r satellite images t study tree cver, but “we dn’t have that kind f mney,” Gheen says. Instead, the researchers tracked their cllared lins, and then gt dwn n hands and knees near the lins’ recent kills, using a range finder t measure the penness f the area. Areas with big-headed ants, the team shwed, had 2.67 times higher visibility than areas withut - meaning that lins culd see farther, but s culd their prey.
Over the three years f the study, zebra dinners decreased frm 67 percent t 42 percent f lin kills. But the lins didn’t g hungry. Instead, they went fr beef. Buffal kills increased frm zer t 42 percent f kills ver the study perid. “It’s a risky diet,” Gheen says. “Buffal are big and feisty, and lins hunting buffal are mre likely t be injured.”
“The study shws that the disruptin (干扰) can have serius effects n ther species in the cmmunity,” says Gheen. “Thse effects can be unexpected and indirect. Changes culd als have an impact n fd webs in ther ecsystems.”
28. What is the relatinship between acacia ants and whistling-thrn trees like?
A. Independent. B. Inharmnius.C. Cmpetitive.D.Win-win.
29. What d we knw abut the study in paragraph 4?
A. It is wrthy but indirect.B. It is specific but unreliable.
C. It is demanding but ecnmical.D. It is expensive but effective.
30. What des the underlined wrd “feisty” in paragraph 5 mean?
A. Stable.B. Wild.C. Exceptinal. D. Inactive.
31. What phenmenn des Gheen describe in the last paragraph?
A. The butterfly effect.B. The greenhuse effect.
C. The bystander effect. D. The bserver effect.

The latest assessments f the health effects f cffee and caffeine (咖啡因), its main active ingredient, are cmfrting indeed. 32 They include Parkinsn’s disease, heart disease, depressin and all srts f cancers.
33 They shwed cnsuming fur r five eight-unce cups f cffee a day has been assciated with reduced death rates. In a study f mre than 200,000 participants fllwed fr up t 30 years, thse wh drank three t five cups f cffee a day, with r withut caffeine, were 15 percent less likely t die early frm all causes than the peple wh avided cffee. Perhaps mst dramatic was a 50 percent reductin in the risk f suicide amng bth men and wmen wh were mderate cffee drinkers, perhaps by bsting prductin f brain chemicals. 34
A reprt was published last summer by a renwned research team at the Harvard Hl f Public Health. It cncluded that althugh current evidence may nt guarantee recmmending cffee r caffeine t prevent disease, fr mst peple drinking cffee in mderatin “can be part f a healthy lifestyle.” 35 In the past, there were ccasinal warnings abut cffee being a health risk. Over the years, cffee’s been cnsidered a cause f cnditins such as heart disease, strke, and premature death.
Actually, these cncerns may have been unfunded and exaggerated. 36 Hwever, despite varius cncerns that have turned up ver the years, cffee is remarkably safe and has a number f imprtant ptential benefits.
A. It is cnsidered as a health risk.
B. Hwever, it wasn’t always this way.
C. They have the effects f anti-depressin.
D. They have given the public a very abnrmal view.
E. Therefre, mre research is needed t cnfirm these findings.
F. In fact, there are many studies cnducted thrughut the wrld.
G.Their cnsumptin has been linked t a reduced risk f diseases.

The Search fr the Nrthwest Passage
Fr hundreds f years, the search fr a cnvenient rute by water acrss the Nrth American cntinent, frm the Atlantic Ocean in the east t the Pacific Ocean in the west, inspired explrers and sailrs. This was the fabled Nrthwest Passage. The main reasn fr seeking this rute was that it wuld prvide a shrtcut frm Eurpe t the established markets f Asia, especially China and Indnesia. Frm the fifteenth century until the Suez and Panama Canals were built many centuries later, the nly way fr a ship t travel frm, fr example, in t the Philippines, was via Cape Hrn against fercius winds and dangerus currents, r via the lnger and still mre risky Cape f Gd Hpe. Either way, it was a lng and perilus jurney.
Between the early fifteenth century and the early twentieth century, when the Nrthwest Passage was finally traversed entirely by sea, there were many theries regarding where such a rute might be. Sme believed there might be a cntinuus waterway acrss the American cntinent, between what is nw Califrnia in the west and the Great Lakes and Saint Lawrence Seaway in the east. Others believed it wuld be far nrth, abve Alaska and the nrmally frzen Nrthern Canada. T lcate this fabled rute, expeditins set ut frm the eastern Atlantic and the western Pacific casts.
The earliest jurneys frm the eastern cast int the wilderness f Nrtheast Canada were undertaken by Greenland Vikings befre the thirteenth century. Further Jurneys f discvery were nt made in earnest until the fifteenth century, the first f which was led by Englishman Jhn Cabt in 1497, fllwed by three vyages starting frm 1576 led by Cabt’s fellw cuntryman, Martin Frbisher, after whm Frbisher Bay is named. During the fllwing three centuries, further expeditins set ut, several f which suffered great hardship due t their ships being frzen in the ice as winter set in. The mst famus f these was anther Englishman’s expeditin, that f Sir Jhn Franklin’s, whse ship disappeared withut a trace in 1846. This led t ver 25 search parties, resulting in further explratin. Hwever, they initially had n success pushing beynd the bays and changing channels f Eastern Canada.
At the same time as English explratin was taking place in the east, n the western cast nish seamen were attempting t find a rute frm west t east. In 1539, 60 years befre Frbisher’s epic jurneys, a niard, Francisc de Ulla, explred Califrnia and his explits created the myth f a passage acrss the cntinent frm Califrnia. Further explratin frm in cntinued fr the next tw centuries. During this time, Russia became invlved in explratin further nrth, with Vitus Bering, a Dane wrking fr Russia, lcating and naming the Bering Strait, the waterway between Russia and Alaska.
The mst famus f the Western navigatrs was Englishman Captain James Ck, wh, in 1778, attempted t find the passage fr a prize f £20,000 ffered by the British Admiralty. Neither he nr ther navigatrs wh fllwed him, including cmpatrit Gerge Vancuver, discvered any sign f a river that wuld lead eastwards, rather, they were blcked by glaciers clse t the cast. They cncluded that there was n passage suth f the Bering Strait.
Perhaps the mst impressive jurney was the ne that finally achieved success. In the search fr Franklin, Cmmander Rbert McClure’s expeditin engaged in a remarkable jurney between 1850 and 1854. His ship HMS Investigatr sailed first arund Cape Hrn and then, after heading nrth, fund a rute frm west t east thrugh the Bering Strait and acrss Nrthern Canada. During this time his ship was trapped in ice fr three winters and his crew, despite nearly dying f starvatin, cmpleted the jurney acrss the ice in sleds, befre being picked up by anther ship. Hwever, the Nrthwest Passage was nt traversed entirely by sea until 1906 when Rald Amundsen, the great plar explrer (wh was als the first t reach the Suth Ple), finally achieved this feat by taking the east-west rute. The first successful fully marine west-east crssing was cmpleted in 1942 by a Ryal Canadian Munted Plice crew in their plucky Arctic wrkhrse, the cnverted schner St Rch, which later made the return trip. Many ther vessels have since made the vyage, including as late as 2008, the first cmmercial crssing.
