　　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.

　　题目：Coyote

　　内容：研究丛林狼…-数量的变化、人类舌动对丛林狼的影响、未来丛林狼的生存问题

　　题型：段落细节匹配5+填空4+选择 4

　　文章大意

　　这是一篇关于coyote郊狼从野外到城市里生存的文章，郊狼转战城市的原因是森林面积减 少，此狼食肉动物，而且适应能力极强，而且在狼逐步灭绝的过程中，郊狼已成为顶端动物，虽天生具有攻击性，但其实即使居住在城市里对于人类也不会具有攻击性。往往郊狼最终攻击了人类的事情，其原因也是源自于人类的善意，比如人类有的想要保护郊狼然后就看到狼就喂食，而这种对于天性和本能的改变导致郊狼会有仇视产生攻击心理。郊狼在城市里的居住地范围不会占据大面积，有个小块儿隐蔽的地方就可以，但专家不会透露具体地址。郊狼在城市 里最大的危险是被撞死然后作者说保护郊狼和赶走郊狼是两难境界,但其实人类只要允许 这群郊狼野性地自由成长就不会有大危险。

　　Passage 3 :

　　题目：Thinking for themselves

　　内容：对一系列动物认知能力的研究

　　题型：段落主旨配对题4+判断题5+特殊词词匹配5

　　文章大意：:

　　这是一篇关于对动物认知能力的研究。很多人认为动物不会像人类一样有认知能力,但有个倔强的研究者就拿来一鹦鹉做研究，最后鹦鹉除了会说语言，还会认数字，还有区别事物的能力，之后探讨动物的creativity，由于世人觉得狗不能作为研究对象然后研究者拿鸟做研究，有一种叫jay(松鸦)的鸟，那只鸟叫betty有着晾人的创造力她可以根据自己要取食物的需求自己找类似物做个钩子，研究是让别的鸟偷走betty的钩子以为betty会去 寻找丟失的钩子,但事实并没有，betty看到一个电线，然后卷成了钩子,麵食物，专家们都惊诧了，好赞。然后接着用鸟做例子,说明其实动物也是有心机的，她们可以根据经验判断谁是敌人然后做出相应心机婊举动保护自己。最后用海肠证明动物超强的模仿力但事实上有些专家还是不认可动物的认知能力,其实是他们老伴随着变化而先把对于事物的定义给改喽

　　所以为了证明动物的能力，研究从未停止
