    2．Music for Humans and Humpback Whales
    As researchers conclude in Science，the love of music is not only a universal feature of the human species，but is also deeply fixed in complex structures of the human brain，and is far more ancient than previously suspected．
    In the articles that discuss the field of bio-musicology，the study of the biological basis for the creation and appreciation of music，researchers present various evidence to，show that music-making is at once an original human"business"，and an art form with skillful performers throughout the animal kingdom．
    The new reports stress that humans hold no copyright on sound wisdom，and that a number of nonhuman animals produce what can rightly be called music，rather than random sound．Recent in-depth analyses of the songs sung by humpback whales show that，even when their organ would allow them to do otherwise，the animals converge on the same choices relating to sounds and beauty，and accept the same laws of song composition as those preferred by human musicians，and human ears，everywhere．
    For example，male humpback whales，who spend six months of each year doing little else but singing，use rhythms （节奏） similar to those found in human music and musical phrases of similar length-a few seconds．Whales are able to make sounds over a range of at least seven octaves （八度音阶），yet they tend to move on through a song in beautiful musical intervals，rather than moving forwards madly．They mix the sounds like drums and pure tones in a ratio （比例） which agrees with that heard in much western music．They also use a favorite technique of human singers，the so-called A-B-A form，in which a theme is stated，then developed，and then returned to in slightly revised form．
    Perhaps most impressive，humpback songs contain tunes that rhyme．"This suggests that whales use rhyme in the same way we do：as a technique in poem to help them remember complex material，"the researchers write．
    24．The underlined words"converge on"in Paragraph 3probably  meansA．
    A．tend towards  
    B．refer to
    C．turn into     
    D．put forward
    25．Which of the following shows the advanced musical ability in humpback whales？B
    A．They can remember complex material．
    B．They can create pleasing patterns of music．
    C．They can make sounds like drums continuously．
    D．They can sing along with rhythms of western music．
    26．What is the main idea of the article？D
    A．Animals are able to compose and enjoy music like humans．
    B．Human beings borrow ideas in music from humpback whales．
    C．Humpback whales are skillful performers in the animal kingdom．
    D．Music-making it an ancient activity of both humans and animals．
    27．The main purpose of the passage is toB．
    A．argue and discuss        
    B．inform and explain
    C．compare and advertise    
    D．examine and assess．

    3．Every animal sleeps，but the reason for this has remained foggy．When lab rats are not allowed to sleep，they die within a month．（71）C
          One idea is that sleep helps us strengthen new memories．（72）EWe  know that，while awake，fresh memories are recorded by reinforeing（加强）connections between brain cells，but the  memory processes that take place while we sleep  have been unclear．
          Support  is  growing for a theory that sleep evolved so that connections between neurons（神经元）in the brain can be weakened overnight，making room for fresh memories to from the next day．（73）F
          Now we have the most direct evidence yet that he is right．（74）GThe synapses in the  mice taken at the end of a period of sleep were 18 per cent smaller than those taken before sleep，showing that the connections between neurons weaken  while sleeping．
         If  Tononi′s theory is right，it would explain why，when we miss a night′s sleep，we find it harder the next day to concentrate and learn new information--our brains may have smaller room for new experiences．
         Their research also suggests how we may build lasting memories over time even though the synapses become thinner．The team discovered that some synapses seem to be protected and stayed the same size．（75）B"You keep what matters，"Tononi says．

    A．We should also try to sleep well the night before．
    B．It's as if the brain is preserving its most important memories．
    C．Similarly，when people go for a few days without sleeping，they get sick．
    D．The processes take place to stop our brains becoming loaded with memories．
    E．That's why students do better in tests if they get a chance to sleep after learning．
    F．"Sleep is the price we pay for learning，"says Giulio Tononi，who developed the idea．
    G．Tononi's team measured the size of these connections，or synapses，in the brains of 12 mice．

    20．Before birth，babies can tell the difference between loud sounds and voices．They can even distinguish their mother's voice from that of a female stranger．But when it comes to embryonic learning（胎教），birds could rule the roost．As recently reported in The Auk：Ornithological Adrances，some mother birds may teach their young to sing even before they hatch（孵化）．New-born chicks can then imitate their mom's call within a few days of enering the world．
    This educational method was first observed in 2012 by Sonia Kieindorfer，a biologist at Flinders University in South Australia，and her colleagues．Female Australian superb fairy wrens were found to repeat one sound over and over again while hatching their eggs，When the eggs were hatched，the baby birds made the similar chirp to their mothers-a sound that served as their regular"feed me!"call．
    To find out if the special quality was more widespread in birds，the researchers sought the red-backed fairy wren，another species of Australian songbird．First they collected sound data from 67 nests in four sites in Queenslang before and after hatching，Then they identified begging calls by analyzing the order and number of notes．A computer analysis blindly compared calls produced by mothers and chicks，ranking them by similarity．
    It turns out that baby red-backed fairy wrens also emerge chirping like their moms．And the more frequently mothers had called to their eggs，the more similar were the babies'begging calls．In addition，the team set up a separate experiment that suggested that the baby birds that most closely imitated their mom's voice were rewarded with the most food．
    This observation hints that effective embryonic learning could signal neurological（神经系统的）strengths of children to parents．An evolutionary inference can then be drawn．"As a parent，do you invest in quality children，or do you invest in children that are in need？"Kleindorfer asks．"Our results suggest that they might be going for quality．"

    58．The underlined phrase in Paragraph 1 means"B"．
    A．be the worst                 B．be the best
    C．be the as bad                 D．be just as good
    59．What are Kleindorfer's findings based on？A
    A．Similarities between the calls moms and chicks．
    B．The observation of fairy wrens across Australia．
    C．The data collected from Queensland's locals．
    D．Controlled experiments on wrens and other birds．
    60．Embryonic learning helps mother birds to identify the baby birds whichC．
    A．can receive quality signals
    B．are in need of training
    C．fit the environment better
    D．make the loudest call．

    In agrarian(农业的), pre-industrial Europe, “you’d want to wake up early, start working with the sunrise, have a break to have the largest meal, and then you’d go back to work,” says Ken Albala, a professor of history at the University of the Pacific. “Later, at 5 or 6, you’d have a smaller supper.”

    This comfortable cycle, in which the rhythms of the day helped shape the rhythms of the meals, gave rise to the custom of the large midday meal, eaten with the extended family. “Meals are the foundation of the family,” says Carole Couniban, a professor at Millersville University in Pennsylvania, “so there was a very important interconnection between eating together and strengthening family ties.”

    Since industrialization, maintaining such a slow cultural metabolism has been much harder, with the long midday meal shrinking to whatever could be stuffed into a lunch bucket or bought at a food stand. Certainly, there were benefits. Modern techniques for producing and shipping food led to greater variety and quantity, including a tremendous increase in the amount of animal protein and dairy products available, making us more energetic than our ancestors.

    Yet plenty has been lost too, even in cultures that still live to eat. Take Italy. It’s no secret that the Mediterranean diet is healthy, but it was also a joy to prepare and eat. Italians, says Counihan, traditionally began the day with a small meal. The big meal came at around 1 p.m. In between the midday meal and a late, smaller dinner came a small snack. Today, when time zones have less and less meaning, there is little tolerance for offices’ closing for lunch, and worsening traffic in cities means workers can’t make it home and back fast enough anyway. So the formerly small supper after sundown becomes the big meal of the day, the only one at which the family has a chance to get together. “The evening meal carries the full burden that used to be spread over two meals,” says Counihan.

    1.What does Professor Carole Counihan say about pre-industrial European families eating meals together？

    A. It was helpful to maintaining a nation’s tradition.

    B. It brought family members closer to each other.

    C. It was characteristic of the agrarian culture.

    D. It enabled families to save a lot of money.

    2.What does “cultural metabolism”（Line 1, Para. 3) refer to？

    A. Evolutionary adaptation. B. Changes in lifestyle.

    C. Social progress. D. Pace of life.

    3.What does the author think of the food people eat today?

    A. Its quality is usually guaranteed.

    B. It is varied, abundant and nutritious.

    C. It is more costly than what our ancestors ate.

    D. Its production depends too much on technology.

    4.What does the author say about Italians of the old days?

    A. They enjoyed cooking as well as eating.

    B. They ate a big dinner late in the evening.

    C. They ate three meals regularly every day.

    D. They were expert at cooking meals.
