As trade and human travel has become globalised many thousands of species have crossed oceans or mountain ranges and become established in new regions, with some causing “invasional meltdown” and over a trillion of dollars of damage a year.

Imitation can get a bad reputation, but researchers say our species’ drive to imitate so readily is a significant mechanism through which we learn social norms, integrate into society, and build social connection.

In the past, decisions on the location of agencies have been made behind closed doors, and prompted huge arguments resolved only through trades and stitch-ups.

But by the time Lonzo Ball, the Lakers rookie point guard, whose passing ability is exceeded by only his father’s self-promotional thirst, lit up the N.B.A.’s summer league in Las Vegas in early July, a pattern was emerging. Beyond all the insiderish commentary about N.B.A. free agency and where Gordon Hayward, a borderline All Star, might end up, there was a steady stream of news that seemed to call into question the structure of labor and compensation in American professional sports. 词汇突破： rookie新人

The increased demand is sweet revenge for the humble wing, an unwanted poultry byproduct back in the 1980s, when the American dining public was certain that animal fats would kill them and demanded only boneless, skinless chicken breasts. But starting around 2009, wing prices started to eclipse those for breasts, hinting that demand for wingettes and drumettes was on the rise.

Managing extreme old age – the prince is 96 – is a new challenge for the monarchy, but only one of many that this extraordinary institution now has to confront. It is doing so with the kind of professionalism that has also become typical since its hold on popular esteem seemed genuinely challenged in the dark days between the row over the taxpayer paying for the 1992 Windsor Castle fire and the death of Princess Diana five years later.

词汇突破

challenge 挑战 monarchy 君主制 institution 机构 confront 面对

professionalism 职业精神 esteem尊敬 genuine 真实的

参考译文：应对高龄是皇室的一个新挑战（亲王已经96岁），但这仅是这个特别机构现在必须面对的众多困难之一。皇室正秉着一种职业精神应对。从1992年关于温莎堡大火由纳税人埋单的争吵到1997年黛安娜王妃去世的黑暗日子里，皇室在大众心目中的地位的确受到了挑战，而之后职业精神便成了皇室典型的行事作风。

考研英语每日一句第103句：

When people shopped in a green (versus conventional) simulated online store, they felt like they’d done their good deed for the day and were more likely to cheat or steal in a subsequent task-an effect psychologists call “moral licensing”. Similarly, getting weekly feedback on water consumption reduced people’s water use by 6 percent, but it increased their electricity use by 5.6 percent—as if they felt that being careful in one area entitled them to relax in another. 词汇突破

参考译文：人们在模拟的绿色线上商店购物时，会觉得今天的善行已经完成，更有可能在接下来的任务中作弊或打折扣——这种效应被心理学家们称为“道德许可”。相似的，人们在每周获得用水量反馈后可减少6%的用水，但用电量却上升了5.6%，就像是他们觉得一个方面用心，就有权力在另一方面放纵。 考研英语每日一句第104句：

They aim to stimulate the cords precisely where they aren’t coming together properly, and to break students out of the bad habits that cause problems in the first place: taking big gulps of air,tensing the throat and jaw muscles, forcing the

考研英语每日一句第105句：

The pools have heat to catalyze reactions, dry spells in which complex molecules called polymers can be formed from simpler units, wet spells that float these polymers around, and further drying periods that maroon them in tiny cavities where they can interact and even become concentrated in compartments of fatty acids—the prototypes of cell membranes.

As blogger Kay Curtin, who has advanced melanoma, puts it: “The media tend to pick one line on a report and run with it, but they do not draw attention or highlight that it’s just a potential benefit, or the fact that many of these are just proven in a petri dish or a mouse and very often do not prove effective when tested on humans. It is cruel to existing patients to make claims with misleading headlines.” 词汇突破：

考研英语每日一句第108句：

A report in early December from the D.C. Fiscal Policy Institute, an organization that researches budgets and taxes that affect needy residents in the city, revealed that with rising rent, the poorest Washington residents faced spending more than half their income on housing.

This feeds the grim cycle Ms. White and Ms. Kelly know well: the abbreviated stays in shelters, the faint hope of independent housing, the evictions, the return to beds they do not own and have little interest in occupying.

fiscal policy财政 research 研究 reveal 揭露 income 收入 grim 冷酷的

abbreviate 缩写，减少 eviction驱逐

参考译文：华盛顿财务研究所是一家研究影响穷人的预算和税收的机构。它12月份早些时候的一份报告揭露，房租上涨令华盛顿的贫困居民将超过一半的收入花在住房上。这助长了一种严酷的循环，对此怀特女士和凯利女士深有体会：收容所可停留时间缩短，自有房屋的希望渺茫，被驱逐，回到那些不属于她们的床上，而她们也没什么兴趣占着那些床。

The technology, developed by Stratics Networks, allows messages to be delivered directly to voice mail without ringing through--a practice that will inevitably clog up landline inboxes and gobble up expensive cellphone data.

年电话消费者保案》。

Deliveries are just one of the proposed uses of drones that seem speculative or impractical now but may become significant in future.

“There is no experimental evidence to support the idea that people get asthma or exacerbated asthma from exposure to fragrances,” says Wolkoff, who suspects psychology is at work instead. A big problem with experiments that expose people to fragrances is that blinding is virtually impossible: the subject knows they are smelling a scent and this may affect their response.

词汇突破： asthma 哮喘 exacerbate 加重 experiment 实验 expose 暴露；置身 fragrance 芳香 scent 气味 response 反应 参考译文：

Wolkoff说，“没有实验证据支持暴露于香气中会让人得哮喘或加重哮喘这一观点”，相反他怀疑起作用的是心理。芳香实验的一大问题在于，对于置身其中的人来说，盲法几乎是不可能的：实验对象知道他们正在闻一种气味，这会影响他们的反应。

If coffee does have an effect on longevity, it is likely a result of something more global than the potential effect of antioxidants—such as the fact that constant exposure to caffeine, even at low levels, suppresses appetite (in a world where most people eat more than is ideal). 词汇突破：

1.longevity 长寿

2.global 全局的；总体的 3.potential 潜在的 4.antioxidant 抗氧化剂 5.exposure 暴露 6.suppress 抑制 7.appetite 食欲 参考译文：若咖啡果真有长寿效应，很可能是出于比抗氧化成分的潜在影响更系统的原因，比如说长期摄入咖啡因（即使量很少）会抑止食欲，而现在大多数人的食量都超过理想水平。

None of the participants were deemed to have an alcohol dependence, but levels of drinking varied.
