18、gainst season.So what makes me fly against the tide of snowbirds? The answer has a lot to do with my reluctance to give up the things that define who I am. Once I hear that the temperature on Long Island has dipped into the range of 40 to 50 degrees, I begin to long for the sight and crackling sound

19、 of a wood fire. I also long for the bright display of colors-first in the fall trees, and then in the lights around homes and at Rockefeller Center.

So she was aware of her relative youth in the field. She also recognized that there havent been m

26、any women in the ranks of NEA Jazz Masters: fewer than 20, out of 145. That idea led her to reflect on her predecessors（前任）: legendary singers like Betty Carter, who was seated back in 1992,and Abbey Lincoln, who received the nod in 2003.Bridgewater sought inspiration and advice from both Carter and

27、 Lincoln, as she recalls in this period of Jazz Night, which features music recorded during the season opener for Jazz at Lincoln Center.

33、mals communicate? Researchers have observed young bats adopting new “dialects” simply by hearing them repeatedly, making them one of the few animals known to have a capacity for vocal（声音的）learning. “These bats may help us clarify the evolution of speech acquisition（习得）skills,” says Yosef Prat, a PhD

34、 at Tel Aviv University (TAU).For one year, researchers raised 14 Egyptian fruit bat pups with their mothers in controlled area, exposing each young bat to two different vocalizations: the natural call of its mother and a separate recording that varied in pitch（音高）or frequency. They found that the p

35、ups in each group developed a dialect like the recording. “The general assumption in this field is that most animals develop their born vocalizations regardless of what they hear, and that human vocal learning abilities have developed during evolution,” says Mr Prat. “The finding that bats learn the

Dozens of theories attempt to explain the complexity of this skill, but none have done so conclusively.“Studying vo

37、cal communication and vocal learning in animal models is a very useful way to approach the problem,” says Olga Feher, an assistant professor at the University of Warwick in England.But animal vocalizations and human speech are very different things, says Jamin Pelkey, a professor at Ryerson Universi

38、ty. “All species communicate. Unlike other animals, though, human beings are able to use sound patterns for functions that are far strangerfunctions that are imaginative, theoretical, and critical. When speech is involved in these stranger functions, that is what we mean by spoken language.”32. How

39、do young bats acquire their “language” according to the research?A. Flying in the air slowly.B. Hearing it again and again.C. Communicating with partners.D. Repeating it with their mothers.33. What was the general view about animal vocalization?A. Most animals are born with it.B .Its process was unu

40、sual.C. It is easier than human speech.D. What animals heard doesnt affect their learning.34. What does the underlined word “problem” in Paragraph 4 refer to?A. The study of animal models.B. The origin of spoken language.C. The complexity of spoken language.D. The difference between animals and huma
