Most animals have little connection with animals of a different kind, unless they hunt them for food. Sometimes, however, two kinds of animals come together in a partnership（伙伴关系）which is good for both of them. You may have noticed some birds sitting on the backs of sheep. This is not because they want a ride, but because they find easy food in the parasites（寄生虫）on sheep. The sheep allow the birds to do so because they remove the cause of discomfort. So although they can manage without each other, they do better together.
Sometimes an animal has a plant partner. The relationship develops until the two partners cannot manage without each other. This is so in the corals（珊瑚）of the sea. In their skins they have tiny plants which act as \，taking some of the waste products from the coral and giving in return oxygen which the animal needs to breathe. If the plants are killed, or are even prevented from receiving light so that they cannot live normally, the corals will die. 21. Some birds like to sit on a sheep because ＿. A. they can eat its parasites
B. they enjoy travelling with the sheep C. they depend on the sheep for existence D. they find the position most comfortable
22. The underlined word \refers to A. birds and. Parasites B. birds and sheep
C. parasites and sheep D. sheep, birds and parasites 23. We learn from the text that corals depend on plants for A. comfort B. light C. food D. oxygen
24. What does the second paragraph mainly discuss?
A. Some animals and plants depend on each other. for existence. B. Some animals and plants develop their relationship easily. C. Some plants depend on each other for food.
D. Some animals live better together. B B
The idea of fighting a noise by making more noise sounds strange, but that's exactly what motor engineers are doing in Germany and some other countries.
Car makers' research and development laboratories have already proved that mixing in more noise with the help of loudspeakers can reduce the unwanted noise.
Physicists have known about the technique for a long time. Sound is made up of pressure waves in the air. I# two sound waves of the same frequency（频率）mix so that the highest point of one wave happens at the same time as the lowest point of the other wave, the result is no sound. Therefore, by producing a perfect copy of the noise and delaying it by half a wave cycle（周期），we can kill the unwanted noise. Using this technique many carmakers are racing to develop noise-killing systems（系统）both inside and outside the cars.
Another good thing about the use of noise-killing systems is that it saves the need for a silencer; this not only reduces the weight of a car, but also makes the motor burn less fuel and work better. Some engineers believe that the .noise-killing system will be used in most cars within a few years. But the carmakers haven't decided if they will put it into production because it would add several hundred dollars to the cost of their cars.
25. Which of the following gives a general idea of how the noise-killing system works? A. By producing pressure waves going in the opposite direction.
B. By mixing high frequency sound waves with low frequency sound waves. C. By mixing new sound waves with the noise and sending them out together.
D. By making copies of the unwanted sound waves and letting them out a little later. 26. Besides its main use the noise-killing system can＿． A. make a car lighter B. make a car quieter
C. reduce the cost of a silencer
D. improve the performance of a silencer
27. The noise-killing system is not yet popular mainly because ＿. A. it is still being tried out
B. drivers still have their doubts
C. it increases the cost of car production D. carmakers are not sure if it is necessary C
