‍Questions 1-5: The sentences in each question are listed randomly. Please choose the most logical arrangement from the four choices, A, B, C and D. ‌‍Question 1:        ‌1. It is hard to conceive of a world without banks, partly because they are so visible. Picture the horizon of any big city, and the skyscrapers in view are usually banks.‌2. Morgan Stanley looms over Times Square; Bank of America over Bryant Park. ‌3. Commuters emerge from Grand Central station in New York in the shadow of the Park Avenue base of JP Morgan Chase. ‌4. In Singapore the top floors of the offices of Standard Chartered and UOB house rooftop bars looking out over the entire city.‌5. Even in places like Auckland, Mexico City or Jakarta, the logos adorning the tallest buildings are those of ANZ, BBVA or HSBC.‌6. In London the skyline is dominated by oddshaped towers in the City and Canary Wharf. ‌

1、单选题:
‎Read the following passage and answer questions.‍Bird Flocks‍Flocks of birds can get only so big before falling apart. A new study shows that flocks of different sizes behave differently, and could help explain how animals like birds and fish coordinate their movements.‍Previous work has shown that in large flocks, changes in distance between members propagate rather like sound waves. Now a study by Andrea Cavagna of the Sapienza University in Rome and colleagues has found that changes in flying direction also spread like a wave, but dampen more quickly — as if moving through mud rather than air.‍They examined 3D datasets of flocks of starlings flying and turning and found that while sound-like waves spread best in bigger flocks, the waves transmitting information about direction spread best in smaller flocks.‍Their models showed that in a range of medium-sized flocks, neither strategy works effectively. Coordination between members is impossible and the collective flock structure breaks down.‍These limits could help explain flock behaviour, Cavagna says. For example, large flocks of around 10,000 birds tend to appear wobbly as one part changes direction before the rest. Flocks of 1,000 birds or less behave more rigidly as changes in direction can quickly spread across the entire flock.‍‎Question 1‍‎What is the main developing pattern of this passage?‍
选项:
A: conclusion and explanation
B: simple flow
C: problem and solution
D: comparison and contrast
答案: 【 conclusion and explanation

​Read the following passage and answer the questions.‍Birds Flying in a Truck‍It's a question that had US TV show Mythbusters filling a truck with pigeons and weighing it while getting them to fly. Now it seems there's some truth to the idea that a truck driver carrying a cargo of birds can lighten the load by making the birds fly — but it also makes it heavier.‍So says David Lentink of Stanford University in California, whose team has designed a system for measuring the aerodynamic forces generated by an untethered bird in flight.‍Weighing a bird on the wing isn't easy, says Lentink. As it flaps its wings, it pushes on the air both above and below, meaning its effective weight changes. To make things harder, the way it moves the air changes several times a second. "Your bathroom scales take a few seconds to determine your weight," he says. "We needed a system that was super-fast in comparison."‍What they came up with is essentially a box with pressure pads on all of its interior walls that precisely measure fluctuations in air pressure 100 times each second.‍By filming Pacific parrotlets (Forpus coelestis) taking off and landing inside the box, and measuring the forces the birds created, Lentink's team found they generate almost no vertical force, on the wing's upstroke — making them effectively weightless. On the downstroke, though, they push on the air so forcefully that they generate a vertical force of up to twice their body weight.‍"So if the birds in the cargo all flap at the same time, then the lorry would have to support twice the weight of the birds during the downstroke — and none of their weight during the upstroke," says Lentink. In reality, birds tend to flap at different times, meaning the cargo will, on average, maintain a stable weight.‍Their "scales" may also allow more precise measurement of aerodynamic performance of flying drones, says Lentink.‍​ ‍​Question: ‍​What is the main developing pattern of this passage?‍​‍
