Birds don’t have very large brains, but they are super clever!
Recently, researchers in New Jersey discovered the Cooper’s Hawk (库珀鹰) can understand how to use human traffic rules to hunt, so that they hunt more easily and successfully. This was discovered by Vladimir Dinets, who is both an animal expert and a mathematician, and his research was published on May 23, 2025, in Frontiers in Animal Behavior. Other studies have pointed out that birds often use human buildings and vehicles(机动车) to help them hunt, but recognizing traffic lights is a first.
In the winter of 2021, Dinets saw a young Cooper’s Hawk standing in a tree near the traffic lights. It flew low with the cover of stopped cars, and disappeared into the front yard across the street. A moment later, it reappeared, catching a sparrow (麻雀). This hunt left a deep impression on Dinets. It seemed to know when the traffic light was red.
Through continued observation (观察), Dinets believes it recognized traffic lights through the buzzing sound when the red light was on at a certain time. Also, the hawk knew that sparrows would be at a certain house because the owner put out rubbish every day. So, the hawk used the cars which lined up to get close to the sparrows without being seen, making it easier to catch them.
This is more difficult than imagined.
The Cooper’s Hawk can’t see its prey (猎物) from the tree. So it has to remember the surroundings (环境) and work out its way. Also, it has to know that some buzzing sounds have something to do with traffic lights. This behavior must come from careful calculations (计算), a great memory, and complex (复杂的) thinking skills. In a word, to have this hunting skill needs a lot of intelligence (智力).
Maybe other animals can do the same, but this Cooper’s Hawk is the first wild animal they’ve discovered. These birds fly through here when migrating (迁徙) in summer and winter. This means the Cooper’s Hawk probably learned to do this in just a few days or weeks.
Finally, Dinets also saw a Cooper’s Hawk hunting in the same manner the following winter(2022), and he believes it is the same hawk, now an adult. However, in the summer of the year after that, the sound signal from the streetlight was gone, the people living there moved away, and there were no longer any sparrows there. From then on, until the article was published, Dinets never saw the Cooper’s Hawk nearby again.
16. What did the Cooper’s Hawk use to judge the traffic lights
A. Traffic lights’ colours.
B. The surroundings.
C. The stopped cars.
D. The buzzing sound.
17. In which sentence does “cover” have the same meaning as the underlined “cover”
A. A dust cover hung over the painting.
B. I read the magazine from cover to cover.
C. The boys used the shop as a cover for hide-and-seek.
D. Once the forest cover is destroyed, rains wash away the soil.
18. How does the writer support the idea “This is more difficult than imagined”
A. By offering examples.
B. By giving numbers.
C. By making comparisons.
D. By presenting facts.
19. What do we know about the Cooper’s Hawk
A. It is the first wild animal to use buildings to hunt.
B. It caught its prey with the help of the house owner.
C. It may learn the hunting skill in a short period.
D. It appeared for the last time on May 23, 2025.
20. Which is the best title of the passage
A. A discovery about the Cooper’s Hawk
B. Traffic lights’ role in directing hunting
C. The influence of human life on animals
D. The value of scientific research to nature

四、任务型阅读理解（5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分）
阅读短文，根据要求完成下面小题。
From red apples to yellow bananas and green watermelons, fruits come in many different colors. Why do different kinds of fruits have so many colors
Liu Wei, a scientist from China, explains that fruit colors actually come from their different pigments (色素). How many pigments appear depends on where they grow. Therefore, the environment plays an important role in fruit colors.
To find out how the environment influences fruit colors, Chinese scientists studied more than 280 different fruit colors, including white, red, blue, purple and black. They found that red fruits prefer to grow in cooler places, while blue and purple fruits mostly grow in warm places.
Animals have also had an influence on the evolution (进化) of fruit colors. Animals eat fruits and later drop the seeds in other places. This helps the fruits spread and grow in different places. In order to catch animals’ attention, some fruits turn into colors that are easy for them to see.
However, animals see colors in a different way. Fruits need to develop colors that fit what animals can see. For example, birds can see red more easily than humans can. As a result, there are more red fruits in areas where birds live. Some monkeys are red-green color-blind, so yellow fruits can be found in their habitats (栖息地), as they can easily see this color.

Dear Mike,
How are you doing Thanks for your letter. I’m glad to tell you something about my school life this term.
My favorite subject is English because our teacher makes lessons fun with games and videos. I also enjoy talking with you, which helps me a lot! Last month, I worked with my best friend, Wang Tao, on a history project. We searched for information online, made posters together, and even gave a presentation in class. Although we were nervous, we helped each other and finally did a great job. From this, I learned that teamwork makes everything easier and more enjoyable.
For the next term, I hope to improve my math. I plan to do more exercises and ask the teacher questions when I have difficulties. I believe I can make progress if I keep trying.
I hope to hear from you soon.
Yours,
Li Hua
