细节题

The rock dove, a bird native to Europe and Western Asia, is the ancestor of the common urban pigeon. Settlers introduced rock doves to North America in the 1600s for meat and, over time, these birds escaped domestication and grew well in urban areas.

Cities have a lot to offer pigeons, as tall buildings and window shelves can serve as nesting sites for rock doves. Urban residents provide plenty of food for pigeons either intentionally by feeding pigeons birdseed or bread or unintentionally by leaving out food waste. In addition to human-sourced food, pigeons have a broad diet, including seeds, berries, and insects. Pigeon enthusiasts also set domesticated birds free into the urban environment, where they later bring forth young.

Pigeons’ ability to reproduce year-round leads to highly numerous pigeons in the city, which is an issue for urban wildlife managers. Although pigeons are socially paired, they live in groups of up to 500 birds and this persistent congregation can cause considerable conflicts with people.

To ease conflicts with pigeons, managers have used several methods to prevent pigeon presence or reduce pigeon numbers. Managers have used deadly tools such as poisons. However, this approach typically doesn’t have sustained results because the remaining pigeons multiply rapidly. Further, many poisons are not species-specific and may harm other urban birds. Other programs aimed at reducing nest success involve removing the eggs and replacing them with fake eggs. They often fail because it can be difficult to access nests or attract pigeons to nest houses. Preventing conflicts ultimately relies on removing food sources for urban pigeons. For example, many urban residents feed pigeons in parks. This could be limited through public education campaigns or by carrying out feeding regulations.

Which of the following is NOT a reason for the survival of pigeons in urban areas?

["

Pigeon-friendly climate.

","

Availability of habitats.

","

Rich food supply.

","

Freeing domesticated pigeons.

"]
[["A"]]

细节理解题。根据第二段 “Cities have a lot to offer pigeons, as tall buildings and window shelves can serve as nesting sites for rock doves. Urban residents provide plenty of food for pigeons either intentionally by feeding pigeons birdseed or bread or unintentionally by leaving out food waste. In addition to human-sourced food, pigeons have a broad diet, including seeds, berries, and insects. Pigeon enthusiasts also set domesticated birds free into the urban environment, where they later bring forth young. (城市为鸽子提供了很多，因为高楼和窗台上的架子可以作为岩鸽的筑巢地点。城市居民有意地给鸽子喂鸟食或面包，或无意地留下食物垃圾，为鸽子提供了大量的食物。除了人类来源的食物，鸽子的饮食也很广泛，包括种子、浆果和昆虫。鸽子爱好者还把驯养的鸽子放生到城市环境中，然后在那里繁殖后代。)” 可知，城市中适宜的栖息地、丰富的食物以及鸽子爱好者放飞驯养的鸽子等是城市中鸽子存活的原因，未提到适合鸽子的气候。故选A。

The word “congregation” (paragraph 3) is closest in meaning to                 .

["

introduction

","

gathering

","

reproduction

","

nesting

"]
[["B"]]

词义猜测题。根据划线词上文 “Pigeons’ ability to reproduce year-round leads to highly numerous pigeons in the city, which is an issue for urban wildlife managers. (鸽子全年繁殖的能力导致城市中鸽子数量众多，这对城市野生动物管理人员来说是个问题。)” 以及 “they live in groups of up to 500 birds (它们生活在多达500只鸽子的群体中)” 可知，鸽子繁殖能力强导致数量众多，且喜欢大量群体生活在一起，“this persistent congregation can cause considerable conflicts with people. (这种持续的congregation可能会引起与人的相当大的冲突。)” 指的是鸽子持续性大量聚集在一起会引起与人的相当大的冲突，划线词意思congregation是 “聚集”。故选B。

From the sentence “this approach typically ...” in the last paragraph, we can infer that the approach                 .

["

needs to be used repeatedly

","

is not effective in the long run

","

reduces pigeon numbers greatly

","

works when pigeons multiply

"]
[["B"]]

推理判断题。根据最后一段 “Managers have used deadly tools such as poisons. However, this approach typically doesn’t have sustained results because the remaining pigeons multiply rapidly. Further, many poisons are not species-specific and may harm other urban birds. Other programs aimed at reducing nest success involve removing the eggs and replacing them with fake eggs. (管理人员使用了致命的工具，如毒药。然而，这种方法通常不会产生持久的结果，因为剩下的鸽子繁殖迅速。此外，许多毒素不是特定物种的，可能会伤害其他城市鸟类。)” 可知，毒药会让剩下的鸽子繁殖迅速，而且许多毒素不是特定物种的，可能会伤害其他城市鸟类，由此可知这种方法从长远来看是无效的。故选B。

It can be concluded from the passage that                 .

["

urban pigeons tend to act independently

","

it is difficult for pigeons to adapt to cities

","

stopping feeding pigeons is key to controlling their numbers

","

alternative methods to reduce pigeon numbers are being explored

"]
[["C"]]

推理判断题。根据最后一段 “Preventing conflicts ultimately relies on removing food sources for urban pigeons. For example, many urban residents feed pigeons in parks. This could be limited through public education campaigns or by carrying out feeding regulations. (防止冲突最终依赖于消除城市鸽子的食物来源。例如，许多城市居民在公园里喂鸽子。这可以通过公共教育运动或执行喂养规定加以限制。)” 可知，停止喂鸽子是控制鸽子数量的关键。故选C。

I’m weirdly into clouds. I’m not a meteorologist (气象学家) or a climate scientist. I don’t even know that much about clouds. I just really like them.

For years, people have wondered whether creativity is a rare, inborn gift or a skill that anyone can develop. While some individuals appear naturally gifted in artistic or intellectual pursuits, recent studies challenge the long-held belief that creativity is a unique gift possessed by a select few. Instead, these studies suggest that creativity is not a mysterious quality, but a skill that can be developed through purposeful practice, persistence, and the right mindset.
