It has been known that the octopus has many special skills, such as using hard shells for mobile homes and protection, disabling their suckers, plotting escapes, and even predicting World Cup soccer game outcomes. Can’t we say it is a mysterious creature?
While all these talents are impressive, they pale compared to its ability to \plain sight. Researchers have long known that this is possible because of the presence of the organs under their skin, which expand or contract to produce a series of colors, patterns and even skin textures in just milliseconds.
Scientists had always believed that such a reaction was directed by a signal from the
.
octopus's large，human-like eyes or brain. But a recent report published in the Journal of Experimental Biology by researchers from the University of California at Santa Barbara, indicate that the animal does not have to wait for a signal from its eyes or brain. It can \its skin!
UCSB doctoral student Desmond and Professor Todd said they have seen reports about octopus skin changing colors in response to light with no signal from the eye or brain. However, there had been no follow-up to find out why this was the case and the two decided to see what they could uncover.
They began by taking skin samples from a couple of California octopuses and exposing them to colors, ranging from violent to orange and found that their skin is equipped with the same light-sensitive protein as is found in the cells in the retina of the eyes. Thanks to these proteins, the octopus can \thus enabling it to begin the escape process.
Another research by University of Maryland researchers discovered that cuttlefish and squid share the same talent. Thanks to these findings researchers now know that their skin color can be controlled by both. What is still not clear is how the two come together to manage the whole process. The doctoral student plans to get to the bottom of the mystery.
32. Which of the octopus' skills impresses people most according to the passage? A. Their ability to escape from the sight of their enemy. B. Their large human-like eyes and brains C. Their shells that can move and make predictions. D. Their ability to use shells as their houses. 33. What does UCSB research find?
A. Skin sample can be taken from California octopuses. B. Octopuses have protein similar to cuttlefishes's. C. Octopuses can \D. The skin of octopuses expands to disable an attacker.
34. What does the underlined word“both”（in the last paragraph）refer to? A. Signals from the brain and the proteins under their skin.
.
B. The two research teams in UCSB and UM.
C. The cells in the retina of the eyes and their good eyesight. D. Cuttlefish and squid.
35. What is the next aim of Desmond on octopuses? A. Whether octopuses and cuttlefish have the same ancestor. B. How the signals from their brain work with the proteins. C. When the two teams will cooperate on their research. D. What octopuses will do to disable their enemies. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）

The book A Big Fat Crisis: The Hidden Forces Behind Obesity and How We Can End It by Deborah Cohen, a senior natural scientist, is very popular now. 36 But according to this book, the following are some misunderstandings of obesity or being overweight.
1. If you're obese, blame your genes.
37 Yet, between 1980 and 2000, the number of Americans who are obese has doubled--too quickly for genetic factors to be responsible. At restaurants, a dollar puts more calories on our plates than ever before, because restaurant meals usually have more calories than what we prepare at home, so people who eat out more frequently have higher rates of obesity than those who eat out less.
2. If you're obese, you lack self-control.
Research shows that if we are faced with too much information, we have a tendency to make poor choices on diet. 38 Even the most vigilant（警觉的）people may not be good controllers of themselves.
3. 39 Although the US Department of Agriculture estimates that fewer than 5 percent of Americans live in the \obesity is not related to access to more fresh fruits and vegetables, but to the choices we make in
.
supermarkets.
3. The problem is not that we eat too much, but that we don't exercise.
Michelle Obama's \childhood obesity rates will decrease. 40 In fact, although a drop in work-related physical activity may explain up to 100 fewer calories burned, leisure physical activity appears to have increased.
A. Lack of access to fresh fruits and vegetables is a cause of obesity. B. Obesity rates have increased.
C. Fresh fruits and vegetables we choose in a supermarket are related to obesity.
D. But there was no obvious decrease in physical activity levels as obesity rates climbed in the 1980s and 1990s.
E. People hold different views on obesity. F. People benefit a lot from physical activities.
G. Our world has become so rich in food that we can be led to consume too much in ways we can't understand.
