expert on local communities Now, however, longer hours spent working at the office, together with the Internet and satellite television, is eroding neighborhood ties ‘Poor neighborhoods once had strong kinship, but now prosper buys privacy’, said Chinn Professor John Luke, a social scientist at Cambridge University, has analyzed the large number of surveys He found that in America and

countryside in large numbers and undertake mass migrations; these activities proceed because one ant lays a trail on the ground for the others to follow As a worker ant returns home after finding a source of food, it marks the route by intermittently touching its stinger to the ground and depositing a tiny amount of trail pheromone – a mixture of chemicals that delivers diverse messages as the context changes These trails incorporate no directional information and may be followed by other ants in either direction Unlike some other messages, such as the one arising from a dead ant, a food trail has to be kept secret from members of other species It is not surprising then that ant species use a wide variety of compounds as trail pheromones Ants can be extremely sensitive to these signals Investigators working with the trail pheromone of the leafcutter ant Atta texana calculated that one milligram of this substance would suffice to lead a column of ants three times around Earth The vapor of the evaporating pheromone over the trail guides an ant along the way, and the ant detects this signal with receptors in its antennae A trail pheromone will evaporate to furnish the highest concentration of vapor right over the trail, in what is called a vapor space In following the trail, the ant moves to the right and left, oscillating from side to side across the line of the trail itself, bringing first one and then the other antenna into the vapor space As the ant moves to the right, its left antenna arrives in the vapor space The signal it receives causes it to swing to the left, and the ant then pursues this new course until its right antenna reaches the vapor space It then swings back to the right, and so weaves back and forth down the trail What does the passage mainly discuss? A The information contained in pheromones B Different species of ants around the world C The mass migration of ants D How ants mark and follow a chemical trail The word “forage” in the passage is closest in meaning to _ A revolve around B look up C search for food D walk toward The word “intermittently” in the passage is closest in meaning to _ A incorrectly B periodically C rapidly D roughly The phrase “the one” in the passage refers to a single A species B dead ant C message D food trail According to the passage, why ants use different compounds as trail pheromones? A To protect their trail from other species B To reduce their sensitivity to some chemicals C To attract different types of ants D To indicate how far away the food is The author mentions the trail pheromone of the leafcutter ant to point out A the different types of pheromones ants can produce B a type of ant that is common in many parts of the world C how little pheromone is needed to mark a trail D that certain ants can produce up to one milligram of pheromone According to the passage, how are ants guided by trail pheromones? A They sense the vapor through their antennae B They concentrate on the smell of food C They follow an ant who is familiar with the trail D They avoid the vapor spaces by moving in a straight line The word “furnish” in the passage is closest in meaning to A include B cover C select D provide The word “oscillating” in the passage is closest in meaning to A falling B swinging C depositing D starting 10 According to the passage, the highest amount of pheromone vapor is found A just above the trail B in the receptors of the ants C in the source of food D under the soil along the trail Question 8: Complete the second sentence so that it has the similar meaning to the first sentence I’m certainly not going to give you any more money I have no My father was sound asleep in his chair, worn out after his day in the field So Could you help me to post these letters?
