　　What is the TreeTop Barbie project?

　　TreeTop Barbie was designed to inspire youth - especially young girls - to become aware of the field of the forest canopy. She is a real Barbie doll, but wears hand-tailored clothes that are modeled on real field clothes and climbing gear, including a field guide to canopy plants and animals (both Barbie- and human-sized). The TreeTop Barbie package includes the doll and a personal letter from Barbie about forests and their importance to people.

　　What issues does this project address?

　　TreeTop Barbie can serve as a role model to encourage young girls in directions that are alternatives to the mainstream Barbie doll and what she represents in our society. TreeTop Barbie and her accompanying educational materials also provide a link between youth and an exciting part of the natural world in tropical and temperate ecosystems.

　　How can I get a TreeTop Barbie?

　　TreeTop Barbie is distributed by The International Canopy Network (ICAN)? a not-for-profit organization dedicated to promoting forest canopy conservation through research and education. Funds generated will support this and other outreach activities.

　　Exploration of forest canopies is no easy task—since researchers can't cross between

　　tree-tops? they have to clamber up trunks, explore, descend, and then climb the next. Or they did, until the advent of the Sol Vin Bretzel Canopy Raft.

　　A canopy raft is, basically, an inflatable PVC pontoon frame with high-tension netting spread between. They're pre-inflated and lifted into positioned via airship, dirigible, or helicopter. Once in position, the rafts are set down among the tree-tops, allowing researchers unfettered access to the uppermost reaches of the forest ecosystem. Scientists can observe from the raft? rappel from it too—they can even live on its temporary floor for several days at a time.

　　The pretzel shape of the raft in the top image is known as a Sol Vin Bretzel, created by architect Gilles Ebersolt (yes，like "Pretzel" but in German)，a recent design that replaced the previous, octagonal raft shape. Its unique 400m2 area offers numerous advantages over its predecessors. Itrs a more structurally sound platform that maximizes surface area, preventing any outlying section from folding or collapsing. It‘s also extremely lightweight——meaning it doesn't crush the new growth of the canopy upon which it rests.

　　題目：Coyote

　　內容：研究叢林狼…-數(shù)量的變化、人類舌動對叢林狼的影響、未來叢林狼的生存問題

　　題型：段落細節(jié)匹配5+填空4+選擇 4

　　文章大意

　　這是一篇關于coyote郊狼從野外到城市里生存的文章，郊狼轉戰(zhàn)城市的原因是森林面積減 少，此狼食肉動物，而且適應能力極強，而且在狼逐步滅絕的過程中，郊狼已成為頂端動物，雖天生具有攻擊性，但其實即使居住在城市里對于人類也不會具有攻擊性。往往郊狼最終攻擊了人類的事情，其原因也是源自于人類的善意，比如人類有的想要保護郊狼然后就看到狼就喂食，而這種對于天性和本能的改變導致郊狼會有仇視產生攻擊心理。郊狼在城市里的居住地范圍不會占據(jù)大面積，有個小塊兒隱蔽的地方就可以，但專家不會透露具體地址。郊狼在城市 里最大的危險是被撞死然后作者說保護郊狼和趕走郊狼是兩難境界,但其實人類只要允許 這群郊狼野性地自由成長就不會有大危險。

　　Passage 3 :

　　題目：Thinking for themselves

　　內容：對一系列動物認知能力的研究

　　題型：段落主旨配對題4+判斷題5+特殊詞詞匹配5

　　文章大意：:

　　這是一篇關于對動物認知能力的研究。很多人認為動物不會像人類一樣有認知能力,但有個倔強的研究者就拿來一鸚鵡做研究，最后鸚鵡除了會說語言，還會認數(shù)字，還有區(qū)別事物的能力，之后探討動物的creativity，由于世人覺得狗不能作為研究對象然后研究者拿鳥做研究，有一種叫jay(松鴉)的鳥，那只鳥叫betty有著晾人的創(chuàng)造力她可以根據(jù)自己要取食物的需求自己找類似物做個鉤子，研究是讓別的鳥偷走betty的鉤子以為betty會去 尋找丟失的鉤子,但事實并沒有，betty看到一個電線，然后卷成了鉤子,麵食物，專家們都驚詫了，好贊。然后接著用鳥做例子,說明其實動物也是有心機的，她們可以根據(jù)經驗判斷誰是敵人然后做出相應心機婊舉動保護自己。最后用海腸證明動物超強的模仿力但事實上有些專家還是不認可動物的認知能力,其實是他們老伴隨著變化而先把對于事物的定義給改嘍

　　所以為了證明動物的能力，研究從未停止
