Why d we find ugly animals s attractive? And what makes dd-lking creatures s cute?
Evlutin plays a rle. Accrding t Austrian zlgist Knrad Lrenz, human attractin t infantile (婴儿的) features, such as big eyes, large heads and sft bdies, is an evlutinary adaptatin that helps ensure that adults care fr their children, guaranteeing the survival f their species. Strange-lking animals such as blbfish, pugs, aye-ayes and bulldgs all share these infantile qualities that cause an affectinate respnse amng humans and an innate instinct t nurture and prtect. And these infantile characteristics increase a persn’s “prtective behavir, attentin and willingness t care” fr the individual and reduce the “likelihd f aggressin twards an infant”, says Marta Brgi, a researcher.
Ugly animals ften have ther value—sme like the blbfish r the naked mle rat, live in extreme envirnments that they have adapted t in remarkable ways. Scientists are keen t study these animals t understand whether their bilgy might prvide fresh insights that culd lead t treatments fr human health cnditins such as cancer, heart disease and neurdegenerative diseases.
But while many ugly creatures are exquisitely adapted t their life in the wild and can prvide enrmus benefits t the ecsystems they live in, they ften still dn’t get as much attentin as mre traditinally cute and cuddly animals. This can result in a bias (偏见) which leads t many f the less attractive species being verlked in terms f research.
There are culture-led ther factrs that als drive ur bsessin (痴迷) with ugly-cute animals. “The ugly-cute thing is very fashinable,” says Rwena Packer, a lecturer f animal behavir. This is partly driven by scial media, with many celebrities (名人) and influencers shwing ff pet pugs and French bulldgs n Instagram, she says.
But there are sme serius welfare cncerns arund this trend. Vets are urging peple nt t chse a flat-faced dg breed, because they suffer frm serius health prblems. Pugs and French bulldgs which have been selectively bred experience breathing difficulties, repeated skin infectins and eye diseases. S while gfy features such as bulging eyes and wrinkly faces may make us smile, we might want t recnsider ur bsessin with “ugly-cute” pets.
8．Accrding t Knrad Lrenz, what features in animals are attractive t humans?
A. Shiny clrs.B. Big eyes and large heads.
C. Unusual bdy shapes.D. Sft fur and large faces.
9．What des the underlined wrd “verlked” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A. Valued. B. Recnsidered. C. Ignred. D. Misunderstd.
10．Hw d scial media drive peple’s bsessin with ugly-cute animals?
A. By leading different cultures.
B. By shwing ff ugly animals’ behavirs.
C. By expsing many celebrities and influencers.
D. By publicizing widely knwn peple’s ugly-cute pets.
11．What is the text mainly abut?

C. Why lvely animals attract humans. D. Hw we handle animals’ health prblems.
Flash drughts develp fast, and when they hit at the wrng time, they can ruin a regin's agriculture. They're als becming increasingly cmmn as the planet warms. In a study published in the jurnal Cmmunicatins Earth & Envirnment, we fund that the risk f flash drughts, which can develp in just a few weeks, is n the rise in every majr agricultural regin arund the wrld in the cming decades.
In Nrth America and Eurpe, crpland that had a 32% annual chance f a flash drught a few years ag culd have a greater chance f a flash drught by the final decades f this century. That result wuld put fd prductin, energy, and water supplies under increasing pressure. The cst f change will als rise. A flash drught in the Daktas and Mntana 2017 caused $2.6 billin in agricultural damage in America alne.
All drughts begin when rainfall stps. What's interesting abut flash drughts is hw fast they strengthen themselves, with sme help frm the warming climate. When the weather is ht and dry, sil lses misture rapidly. Dry air extracts misture frm the land, and rising temperatures can increase this evaprative (蒸发的) demand. The lack f rain during a flash drught can further cntribute t the feedback prcesses, Under these cnditins, crps and vegetatin begin t die much mre quickly than they d during typical lng-term drughts.
In ur study, we used climate mdels and data frm the past 170 years t assess the drught risks ahead under three cnditins fr hw quickly the wrld takes actin t slw the pace f glbal warming. If greenhuse gas emissins frm vehicles, pwer plants, and ther human surces cntinue at a high rate, we fund that crpland in much f Nrth America and Eurpe wuld have a 53% annual chance f flash drughts, by the final decades f this century. Glbally, the largest increases in flash drughts wuld be in Eurpe and the Amazn. Slwing emissins can reduce the risk significantly, but we fund flash drughts wuld still increase by abut 6% wrldwide under lw emissin cnditins.
12．What is the feature f flash drughts?
A. Seldm happen and greatly beneficial.
B. Frequently happen and lw risky.
C. Suddenly happen and highly destructive.
D. Regularly happen and slightly harmful.
13．Which f the fllwing statements may the authr agree with?
A. Crps and vegetatin die mre quickly during lng term drughts.
B. Slwing emissins can cmpletely slve the prblem f flash drughts.
C. In Eurpe crpland will suffer frm mre flash drughts by the end f this century.
D. Flash drughts wn't have any effect n fd prductin, energy, and water supplies.
14．What may be a factr that strengthens flash drughts?
A. Adequate rainfall. B. The warming climate.
C. The cld and wet weather. D. Lng-term drughts.
15．Hw can humans help reduce flash drughts?
A. By studying climate mdels. B. By speeding up glbal warming.

解析：①考查时态和主谓一致。句意:元宵节到了。空格处是谓语，本句是全部倒装句，主语是the lantern festival，是单数，句子描述客观事实，时态用一般现在时，因此空格处用第三人称单数cmes, 故填cmes.
②考查介词。句意:它是在农历的第一个月的第十五天。the 15th day f the first lunar muth是具体的某一天，前面要加介词n，故填n。
③考查形容词。句意:在中国，几乎每个传统节日都有自己的美食，元宵节也不例外。空格处用形容词作定语，修饰名词festival, traditin的形容词是traditinal，意为“传统的”。故填traditinal。

⑤考查非谓语动词。句意:这是一种由糯米制成的甜点，里面夹着黑芝麻、红豆沙甚至肉馅。句中谓语是is，空格处用非谓语动词，dessert和make 之间是逻辑动宾关系，因此空格处用过去分词表被 动，故填made。
⑥考查定语从句。句意:在汉语中，汤圆与“团圆”的发音相似，意思是团聚。空格处引导的是非限制性定语从句，从句中缺少主语，先行词"tuanyuan"是"团圆"，因此空格处用关系代词 which引导定语从句，故填which。
