Barcelona’s opera house has celebrated its reopening to the public since the coronavirus pandemic put the world into a huge horror, but their opening night had an unusual audience. For its first concert, the theater refused the usual crowd of people and instead packed the house with plants. Yes, that's correct. All 2, 292 seats at the GranTeatre Liceu were occupied by green plants. The idea was conceived by an artist Eugenio Ampudia and was broadcast live on the theater’s website. These lucky ficus trees, palms, and Swiss cheese plants — which were brought in by local nurseries (苗圃) — got the pleasure of hearing Puccini’s Crisantemi performed by the UceLi Quartet string musical group. Ampudia hopes that his idea and the work will inspire people to think more deeply about their relationship with nature and the idea of sustainability. “We are at the end of an era and that means that we have to change certain patterns,” he shares. “We don’t live in the same world as 90 days ago, and this means we have to reflect on everything that we do.” As plants can respond to different vibrations caused by music, they certainly weren’t a passive audience — even if they weren’t able to give applause. Now that the concert is over, each plant will be given to a different frontline healthcare worker who helped guide the country through its battle with the coronavirus. The moving concert is a continuation of the Liceu’s mission to create a dialogue between music and the visual arts. Pictures and a video of the performance taken by Ampudia will now become part of La Caixacon temporary art collection. 【1】What was the special part of the concert? A.It had only 2, 292 seats. B.It made the world fall in horror. C.It welcomed audience with plants to come. D.It gave plants opportunities to enjoy music. 【2】What does the underlined word “conceived” mean in the second paragraph? A.Hated. B.Enjoyed. C.Put forward. D.Turned down. 【3】Which statement may Eugenio Ampudia agree with? A.We didn’t do very well in dealing with nature. B.The healthcare workers were more important. C.The plants should have the equal rights. D.We did everything in a wrong way. 【4】In which column of a magazine can this text be read? A.Daily Hero. B.Teens’ Life. C.New Technology. D.Art Around the World. |

Two pig farmers in Suffolk, East England have succeeded in feeding one million bees after participating in a project that saw them turn over half of their land to wildflowers. Four years ago, brothers Mark and Paul Hayward decided to fill 81 acres of their farm land with wildflowers. This week, a study was carried out monitoring insect activity on the flower-covered land, which found they were feeding one million bees at any time. "This was our target when we started, to grow enough flowers to feed a million bees on a single day." Mark said. "We are acutely aware that bees are under threat from modern farming methods and that East England is one of the worst places where bees are seriously suffering from lack of foraging diversity(觅食多样性)," he continued. "Every third bite of food you eat can come from bees and we wanted to create an operation on our farm that did not push nature out but rather hugged it-as a central part of our ecology system and our food cycle," he said. The farm uses all kinds of seeds which can produce many different wild plants and of course, the bees can get food from different wildflowers. "We are taking a very small role in helping society restore a balance and this starts with plant diversity to encourage insects, bees, small mammals(哺乳动物), and birds," said Paul. "At the end of the day, we see ourselves as caretakers of this land. Between us we have six children and we owe it to them to farm sustainability(持续性)and set an example for the generations to come, " added Paul. According to the Bee Conservation Trust, many types of bees have seen their populations decline by 70%, and two species have become extinct in the last century. Gill Perkins, CEO of the Bee Conservation Trust said, "Thanks to Mark and Paul, at least here, 1 million bees can keep living, which is of great significance for ourselves now and future." 【1】What can we know about the brothers from the first two paragraphs? A.They have about 160 acres of land. B.They grow wild flowers for pigs. C.They are not good at growing wild flowers. D.They have to support 1, 000, 000 bees in their land. 【2】Why are bees under threat in East England? A.There is not enough food for bees. B.Bees are not used to the modern society. C.There are too many animals eating bees. D.Bees can not find different wild flowers. 【3】What is the Gill Perkins' attitude to the action? A.Opposed. B.Doubtful. C.Supportive. D.Disappointed. 【4】What is the best title for the text? A.The Bees are in Danger Now B.Two Brothers Feed a Million Bees C.One Million Bees are Surviving in East England D.Two Brothers Love Wild Flowers in East England |

As we know birds do not have teeth. However, according to a new study, this was not always the case. About 116 million years ago, the ancient birds had teeth and used them for eating, just like what they do today. The new study was conducted by a team of researchers that analyzed the remains of the tooth gene in modern birds and tried to find out why the teeth suddenly disappeared in birds during the process of evolution. Because the fossils of ancient birds, buried deeply in the earth, are either broken or not preserve(保护)well, their use in determining this evolutionary(进化)change has not been helpful. Researchers have instead focused on analyzing the DNA of modern birds. The aim of the study is to search for clues in the genes of birds that explain the loss of teeth during evolution. In the absence of teeth, birds heavily rely on their beaks(鸟嘴)to process food. They also have an excellent ability to digest the food properly. However, at some point in history, birds used to rely on their teeth for chewing(咀嚼)food just like us. The earliest known clue in this regard was found in Germany in 1862. The fossil of an ancient bird found there, suggested that birds had teeth in the past. Today, scientists have confirmed(确认)that birds evolved form dinosaurs that were known for their sharp and pointed teeth. Until now, there has been no definite explanation of the significant evolutionary change in birds. In the ongoing study, researchers analyzed the genes of modern birds that are responsible for tooth production. They searched for any kind of genetic mutation(基因突变)that may have made the gene to become inactive. The gene mutation first occurred about 116 million years ago. 【1】What does the underlined word "fossils" mean in Paragraph 2? A.A kind of bodies which are still full of life now. B.A kind of stones which were from ancient animals. C.A kind of animals which were relatives to modern birds. D.A kind of ancient dinosaurs which hid deeply in the earth. 【2】How did the researchers do the study? A.By studying the DNA of modern birds. B.By studying the functions of birds' mouth. C.By comparing the dinosaurs and the birds together. D.By visiting Germany to get the newest information. 【3】What is the researchers' attitude to the conclusion? A.Uninterested. B.Disappointed. C.Convinced. D.Unsure. 【4】What is the best title for the text? A.The Ancient Birds B.The Ancient Birds Have Teeth C.The Ancient Birds Are like Human D.The Birds Abandoned the Teeth Now |
