36、reat concerns that ornithologists have is that climate change will throw the nesting activities of birds out of sync ( 同 步 ) with the availability of food for the raising of chicks. For one species, the pied flycatcher, a new study shows that some of its clan are proving to be remarkably adaptable.
37、Upon returning to Europe from their African wintering grounds, the flycatchers time their egg-laying to the short period when juicy caterpillars ( 毛 毛 虫 ) are most abundant. During the past three decades this caterpillar peak has advanced by three weeks. Pied flycatchers initially had difficulty adj
38、usting, but over time have started laying their eggs earlier to grab the caterpillars. Some, though, are doing a lot more to improve their reproductive chances of success, according to a study in the Journal of Avian Biology led by Christian Both of the University of Groningen, in the Netherlands. L
39、ike most bird species, pied flycatchers have long been thought to lay a single clutch of eggs during the breeding ( 繁殖 ) season. This was widely considered to be a trait that wouldn t change. Then, in 2007, a Swiss team led by Dr Ravussin began to suspect that clutch numbers were flexible. They disc
40、overed a female pied flycatcher that immediately produced a second brood with a new male after raising an early set of chicks. Aware of Dr Ravussin s findings, Dr Both wondered whether this was just a single, odd instance or if second broods might be happening on a larger scale driven by the arrival
41、 of earlier springs. So, they cooperate to delve into the data to find out. The team studied pied-flycatcher populations in the Netherlands and Switzerland that were known to be among the earliest nesting members of the species. In total, they tracked the egg-laying times and hatchling-rearing succe
42、ss of 8,848 breeding pairs in the Netherlands and1,372 in Switzerland between1980 and 2018. They found that since 2006, 11 cases of second broods were observed, all of them among the earliest breeders in both populations. 13 Further studies ruled out that the birds were making up for a failed first
43、attempt at raising chicks or that the second group of nestlings suffered. With no obvious downside to laying a double clutch, Drs Both and Ravussin conclude that the birds are attempting to double their annual reproductive output. While this behavior is still rare, they argue that if the tendency is
44、 driven by heritable genes (which it may well be) , then a succession of early springs could make the strategy much more common. 58. As to flycatchers, we can learn that . A. the population of caterpillars has no effect on their egg-laying time B. climate change is the main cause of their advancing
45、egg-laying time C. they can only lay a single clutch of eggs during the breeding season D. they re born with the ability of raising more than one group of chicks 59. Dr Ravussin and Dr Both may both agree that . A. flycatchers like to winter and lay eggs in the Netherlands and Switzerland B. flycatc
46、hers know how to make up for a failed first attempt at raising chicks C. flycatchers are making adaptations to double their annual reproductive output D. flycatchers, driven by heritable genes, return early from their wintering grounds 60. Which can be the most suitable title for the passage? 14 A.
47、More nests, more eggs B. Earlier spring, earlier breeding C. More caterpillars, less chances D. Later arrival, less output C Children who qualify for free school meals are twice as likely to be out of work in later life as their better off peers, and even when they get good qualifications at school,
48、 the employment gap remains, as a research has found. A report by Impetus, a charity that supports young people from disadvantaged backgrounds, found that 26% of those on free school meals (FSM) were not in education, employment, or training (Neet) after leaving school. In contrast, only 13% of non-
49、FSM children ended up Neet. The study found that young people from disadvantaged backgrounds were less likely to get good qualifications, but even when they had the same qualifications as their better-off peers, they were still 50% more likely to be out of education and employment as other young adults. The research is based on analysis of longitudinal education outcomes data from the Department for Education, which reveals the impact of having a disadvantaged background on life chances and connects pupils school records wi
