2.RC
When confronted with an unfamiliar food source, foragers face a dilemma: consume the food and risk potential toxicity, or avoid it and potentially forfeit a valuable resource. Birds typically exhibit "dietary wariness" in such situations, displaying a temporary aversion to approaching novel food (neophobia) and, in many cases, a more enduring reluctance to consume the new food (dietary conservatism), even after neophobia has subsided. The mechanisms controlling these processes, collectively termed "wariness," remain largely unexplored. This study presents a series of experiments investigating the deactivation and reactivation of wariness towards novel foods in domestic chicks, Gallus gallus domesticus, through varying experiences with colored foods of differing novelty and palatability.

The findings reveal that exposure to a single novel color of palatable chick crumbs was sufficient to deactivate both neophobia and dietary conservatism towards any other novel color of crumbs tested. Relatively brief exposure to a novel training food was necessary to deactivate neophobia, after which the birds would peck at any other novel food. However, significantly more extensive experience consuming a novel training food was required before the birds would incorporate other novel foods into their diet. Direct physical contact with the training food was necessary for chicks to overcome their wariness and consume another novel food, although observational learning was sufficient to encourage pecking behavior (overcoming neophobia). Reinstating wariness proved to be much more easily achieved than its deactivation.

These intriguing results are discussed in the context of foraging behavior in both wild and domestic birds. Prior research indicates that experience with a variety of food colors may reduce neophobic responses to a different novel color, provided the experience did not include unpalatable prey. For instance, chicks familiarized with red, yellow, and green food displayed significantly less hesitation in approaching and pecking at unfamiliar blue food compared to chicks without such experience (Jones 1986). Similarly, blue jays, Cyanocitta cristata, familiarized with either red or blue palatable seeds, as well as yellow seeds that were either palatable or unpalatable, were inhibited from expanding their diet to novel red or blue foods in the short term when exposed to unpalatable yellow novel food (Schlenoff 1984).

Surprisingly, the results also demonstrate that deactivation of both components of wariness required direct contact with the training food, with observational learning proving insufficient. This is unexpected given the highly social nature of chicks and evidence suggesting that they learn to identify foods from their mother through social facilitation (copying their mother's behavior) and possibly local enhancement (the mother directing the chick's attention to the food) (Wauters et al. 2002).

An alternative interpretation suggests that the birds may have formed a mental image of the food type (chick crumbs) upon initial encounter and learned to associate this image with edibility (Dukas and Kamil 2001; Blough 2002). Following experience with a novel color of this food, the chicks then generalized their mental image to accept similar-looking food of any color, with color ceasing to be a salient component of the food's mental image.

C - 主旨题。文章主要研究了控制家养小鸡对新食物警惕性的机制。其他选项虽然提到了文章的某些要点,但都不是全文的主旨。
A - 根据第一段,饮食警惕性由新奇恐惧症(neophobia)和饮食保守性(dietary conservatism)组成。
D - 第二段提到,仅接触一种新颜色的可口小鸡饲料就足以消除小鸡对任何其他新颜色饲料的新奇恐惧症。
A - 根据第五段,Jones (1986) 发现,熟悉红色、黄色和绿色食物的小鸡对不熟悉的蓝色食物表现出明显更少的犹豫。
C - 第五段提到,根据 Schlenoff (1984) 的研究,当蓝松鸦接触到令人不快的黄色新食物时,它们会在短期内避免将饮食扩展到新的红色或蓝色食物。
D - 第六段明确指出,小鸡需要与训练食物直接接触才能克服对另一种新食物的警惕性。
D - 最后一段提出了一种替代解释,即小鸡在首次遇到食物类型(小鸡饲料)时可能形成了一种心理图像,并学会将这种图像与可食用性联系起来。在经历了这种食物的新颜色后,小鸡将它们的心理图像概括为接受任何颜色的相似外观的食物。
B - 第六段表示,小鸡是高度社会化的动物,有证据表明它们通过社会促进和局部增强从母亲那里学习识别食物。然而,研究结果令人惊讶地发现,观察学习不足以使小鸡克服警惕性,这与它们高度社会化的特性形成了反差。


3.DI
The Chinese government is considering a bill that would mandate the exclusive use of open-source software across all government agencies. The bill, which has garnered significant attention from both proponents and critics, aims to reduce the reliance on proprietary software and promote greater transparency and accessibility in government operations.

Supporters of the bill argue that the adoption of open-source software would lead to substantial cost savings for the government. They cite a recent study conducted by the Chinese Academy of Sciences, which estimates that the government could save up to 20 billion yuan annually by switching to open-source alternatives. Furthermore, they contend that the use of open-source software would enhance security and reduce the risk of data breaches, as the source code is openly available for scrutiny and improvement by the community.

However, critics of the bill point out that the transition to open-source software would not be without challenges. A report by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology suggests that the migration process could take up to five years and cost the government an estimated 50 billion yuan in the short term. This cost includes expenses related to training, system integration, and potential compatibility issues between different open-source solutions.

Moreover, some experts argue that the bill's emphasis on open-source software could limit the government's access to cutting-edge technologies developed by proprietary software companies. They assert that a balanced approach, allowing for the use of both open-source and proprietary software, would be more beneficial in the long run.

In response to these concerns, supporters of the bill maintain that the long-term benefits of open-source adoption far outweigh the short-term challenges. They highlight the fact that open-source software is not only cost-effective but also promotes innovation and collaboration. By embracing open-source solutions, the Chinese government could foster a vibrant ecosystem of developers and contribute to the global open-source community.

As the debate continues, the Chinese government must carefully consider the potential implications of the proposed bill. The decision to mandate open-source software across all government agencies would have far-reaching consequences for the country's digital landscape and its ability to adapt to the rapidly evolving world of technology.

1. The primary objective of the proposed bill is to:
A) Reduce government spending on software
B) Enhance security and transparency in government operations
C) Promote innovation and collaboration in the software industry
D) Limit the government's access to proprietary technologies
E) Foster a vibrant ecosystem of open-source developers

2. According to the passage, which of the following is cited as a potential benefit of adopting open-source software?
A) Increased compatibility between different software solutions
B) Reduced risk of data breaches due to open source code
C) Access to cutting-edge technologies developed by proprietary software companies
D) Shorter migration process and lower short-term costs
E) Exclusive use of open-source software across all government agencies

3. The Chinese Academy of Sciences estimates that the government could save ________ annually by switching to open-source alternatives.
A) 5 billion yuan
B) 10 billion yuan
C) 15 billion yuan
D) 20 billion yuan
E) 25 billion yuan

4. Critics of the bill argue that the transition to open-source software could:
A) Take up to five years and cost the government an estimated 50 billion yuan in the short term
B) Lead to substantial cost savings for the government in the long run
C) Enhance security and reduce the risk of data breaches
D) Promote innovation and collaboration in the software industry
E) Foster a vibrant ecosystem of open-source developers

A) More cost-effective in the short term
B) Less secure and prone to data breaches
C) More beneficial in the long run
D) Opposed by supporters of the bill
E) Inconsistent with the global open-source community

6. According to the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology report, the estimated cost of migrating to open-source software includes:
A) Expenses related to training and system integration
B) Potential compatibility issues between different open-source solutions

E) Both A and B

7. Supporters of the bill maintain that the long-term benefits of open-source adoption:
A) Are limited compared to the short-term challenges
B) Include reduced government spending on software
C) Outweigh the short-term challenges
D) Are primarily related to security and transparency
E) Have little impact on innovation and collaboration
