The tickbird and the giraffe have a cnnectin relatinship that sme scientists describe as win-win relatinship and sme as parasitism (寄生). This interspecies partnership is imbalanced in favr f the giraffe because it can live withut the tickbird, while the tickbird is dependent n the giraffe fr fd resurce.
The giraffe is a large mammal that lives in Africa alng with ther large grass-eaters. All these and many thers hst the tickbird. This bird has lng been thught t remve ticks (扁虱) frm its hst, t the benefit f bth—the bird eats the ticks, and the hst is relieved f bld-sucking, disease-carrying insects—but recent studies reveal that this prcess is less than gd. A secndary benefit t a hst frm the tickbirds’ presence is a srt f early warning system, since the birds make a lud sund if they sight an enemy. This is f less benefit t the giraffe than t ther hsts because the giraffe has the advantage f great height and keen eyesight and is fully capable f sptting predatrs withut the bird’s assistance. The tickbird is likely f greater benefit in this capacity t the nearsighted rhin.
They crss thrugh the hst’s hair lking fr insects as their fd. Accrding t the researcher Paul Weeks, reprting in the jurnal Behaviral Eclgy, tickbirds can and d enlarge tick bites and ther wunds n their hst bdy t seek fr fd resurce, making the hst-tickbird relatinship unfair.

D. It brings mre benefit t its hsts than it gets frm them.
29. Why des the giraffe benefit less than ther hsts accrding t Paragraph 2?
A. Because the giraffe has n tick n its bdy.
B. Because the giraffe has its wn warning system.
C. Because the giraffe is tall and has sharp eyesight.
D. Because the giraffe is strng enugh t prtect itself.
30. The underlined phrase “cling t” can be replaced by “________”.
A. stick tB. lead tC. keep awayD. hld back

Scientists at Stanfrd University have designed a new paint that culd help reduce ur grwing dependence n air cnditiners and heaters. It cmes in a variety f clrs, and if used prperly, it culd seriusly reduce electricity bills and emissins.
The paint is capable f reflecting abut 80 percent f mid-infrared light (中紅外光) frm the sun, which is 10 times mre reflectin than traditinal clred paints. When used n the utside f a building, the paint keeps heat ut, and it can be used n the inside t keep heat in. As such, the develpers f the paint say it prvides a “year-rund energy-saving slutin” that can be used in a variety f climates.
When tested in artificially warm cnditins, the paint reduced the amunt f energy needed t cl the enclsed space by almst 21 percent. Tested in artificially cld cnditins, it reduced the energy needed t heat the space by 36 percent. Acrss an entire building, researchers estimate the paint culd save 7.4 percent f the energy needed t heat r cl a mid-sized apartment building.
Different frm ther paints, this new versin frm Stanfrd is nt just pure white r silver. Its variety f clrs include white, blue, red, yellw, green, range, purple and dark gray. This rainbw is pssible because the new paint has tw layers that are applied in a series. The first is the reflective bttm layer, which cntains silver aluminum flakes (鋁片). The secnd is an infrared transparent tp layer that cntains clrful nan-particles. Bth f these layers are water-resistant and wrk in humid and ht envirnments.
“Fr bth heating and air cnditining, we must reduce energy and emissins glbally t meet ur zer-emissins gals,” says material scientist Yi Cui frm Stanfrd. The team cntinues t refine their technlgy and hpes t cmmercialize the paint in the future.
32. What d we knw abut the new paint?
A. It can replace air cnditiners and heaters.
B. It is n better than the traditinal clred paints.
C. It can be used bth n the utside and inside f a building.
D. It has already been well-accepted by peple.
33. What can we infer abut the new paint frm the test?
A. It functins efficiently in any cnditin.
B. It wrks mre effectively in cl cnditins.
C. It is mre suitable t be used fr large space.
D. It saves little energy when used n an entire building.
34. What’s Paragraph 4 mainly abut?
A. The wrking prcess f the tw layers.
B. The wrking envirnment f the tw layers.
C. The difference between the new and ther paints.
D. The reasn why the new paint has varius clrs.
35. What’s the authr’s purpse in writing this passage?
A. T intrduce a new, energy-saving paint.
B. T stress the imprtance f a new paint.
C. T persuade peple t give up the traditinal paints.
D. T call n peple t save energy and reduce emissins.
