选项6：The language is relatively formal
本选项和第五个选项的分析相同，因为书上的童话故事的语言是通过加工和认真修改的，而民谣通过人与人之间的交流相传，语言比较随便，因此语言比较正式的是童话故事。
2020托福听力练习：鹳靠捡垃圾生活
Humans aren't the only creatures who love junk food—many animals are known to enjoy sifting through our garbage to find edible treats.
And now we learn that some storks have stopped migrating from Europe to sub-Saharan Africa in the winter—they'd rather feed at landfills.
“They use landfill sites heavily during the winter and they travel very long distance to get to the sites.”
Aldina Franco of the University of East Anglia, one of the scientists who studied the storks' use of landfills in Portugal.
GPS tracking devices on 17 birds showed that the landfill life might mean up to 100-kilometer round-trips to feed—healthy distances, but far shorter than their historic migration routes.
“And also they use the nests throughout the year and look after the nests.
So these resident birds are in perfect condition, they are always ready to start breeding.
So as soon as spring arrives they're ready to go, the nest is in good condition, and they start breeding earlier.”
The number of storks overwintering in Portugal has shot up from fewer than 2,000 in 1995 to 14,000 in 2014.
The increase appears to reflect both changes in behavior and a booming stork population in general.
The study is in the journal Movement Ecology.
The Portuguese landfills are slated to close in 2018, with the trash diverted to covered recycling and composting facilities.
How will the storks respond?
Franco thinks they'll get back to basics.
“So the storks are social animals.
They live in colonies.
They migrate in groups.
So potentially as long as there are a few birds that still know the route, they can teach the ones that are currently residents how to migrate.”
不仅人类喜欢垃圾食品—许多动物也喜欢翻垃圾箱找寻食物。
而现在我们了解到一些鹳已经不再于冬天从欧洲向撒哈拉以南的非洲迁徙—因为它们宁愿在垃圾堆里寻找食物。
冬季它们严重依赖垃圾填埋场，而且要飞很远的距离才能到达。
东安格利亚大学的一位科学家，爱尔迪娜·弗朗科研究了葡萄牙鹳是如何利用垃圾填埋场的。
对17只鹳的GPS追踪定位装置显示垃圾填埋场的生活意味着觅食要来回飞行100千米，这可是段漫长旅途，但同它们过往的迁徙路线相比就变得微不足道了。
同时，鹳全年都需要栖居并照顾自己的巢穴。
因此这些没有迁徙的鹳现在过着很好的生活，它们总是随时准备进行繁殖。
