17、mprove their childrens emotional development in Class 504BSome bats sing just as birds and humans do. But how they learn their calls and melodies is a mysteryone that scientists will try to solve by researching the genes of more than 1,000 bat species.The project, called Bat 1K, was announced on 14

18、November at the annual meeting of the Society for Neuroscience in San Diego, California. Its organizers also hope to learn more about the flying mammals echolocation abilitythe ability to find directions in the dark; their strong immune systems that can defend against Ebola, a deadly virus; and thei

19、r relatively long lifespans.“The genomes of all these other species, like birds and mice, are well-understood,” says an expert at the Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics in Nijmegen, the Netherlands. “But we dont know anything about bat genes yet.”Some bats show babbling behavior, including b

20、arks, chatter, screeches, whistles and trills, says Mirjam Knrnschild, a behavioral ecologist at the Free University of Berlin. Young bats learn the songs and other sounds from older male tutors. They use these sounds during courtship and mating, when they seek food and as they defend their territor

21、y against rivals.Scientists have studied the vocal sounds of only about 50 bat species so far, Knrnschild says, and they know much less about bats communication than birds. Four species of bat have so far been found to learn vocal sounds from each other, their fathers and other adult males, just as

22、a child gradually learns how to speak from its parents. Genetic studies have discovered at least one gene in bats that is linked to speech and language, called FOXP2. The gene is also known to have a role in how people learn language, and in vocal learning in song-birds. Researchers working on the B

23、at 1K project expect to find that other genes are also involved in communication, and that many more bat species have the ability to learn songs, calls and other sounds. “Its not a rare trait,” Knrnschild says. “Im becoming convinced that all bats are more or less the same in vocal learning.”Bats ec

24、holocation ability has been studied for many years, partly because of its applications to sonar and radar. But scientists know very little about the vocal communication and social behaviour that drive how bats learn their songs and sounds, says Michael Yartsev, a neurobiologist at University of Cali

25、fornia, Berkeley. The study of vocal learning in bats is “nearly completely untapped”, he sayscomparing it to the state of research into birdsong 60years ago. 24. The project, Bat 1K is carried out mainly to _. A. do research on the genes of more bat species B. research bats ability to find directio

26、ns in the dark C. study the way bats learn their calls and songs D. learn more secrets about bats longer lifespans25. From Para 5 and 6, we can safely infer that _.A. scientists have studied only approximately 50 bat species so farB. of all bats, only four species learn vocal sounds from each otherC

27、. more than one gene linked to speech and language has been discoveredD. the gene FOXP2 has something to do with human language learning26.

28、Scientists try to know more about bat genes.B. Scientists seek keys to bats vocal sounds. C. All bats are almost the same in vocal learning.D. Bats sing just as birds and human beings do. C Last year Congress issued a moral call to action when it ordered the National Institutes of Health to reevalua

29、te its ethical oversight (伦理上的疏忽) of government-funded primate (灵长类) research. Although the scientific community widely sees nonhuman primates as essential for advances in biomedicine (they have caused major gains in the fights against AIDS and neurological diseases such as Parkinsons, for example),

30、 researchers agree more can be done to treat the animals more humanely and conduct research less wastefully. To that end, the NIH gathered famous scientists last September to discuss the future of primate-based researchand they agreed that data sharing is the way forward. Researchers could reduce ex

31、periments on nonhuman primates by studying data that have already been collected to answer new questions, says David OConnor, a pathologist at the University of WisconsinMadison. OConnor is walking the walk: his laboratory studies the Zika virus in primates, and he immediately posts all the results

32、online. The goal is to figure out ways to fight Zika as quickly as possible without placing an undue burden on research primates. The Seattle-based Allen Institute for Brain Science, which uses rhesus macaques, small South Asian monkeys, to study the molecular basis of brain development, also makes

33、all results public. OConnor says this practice should be more widespread so that “researchers who are using this scarce but vital resource can learn as much as possible from as few animals as necessary.” Still, he is skeptical that data sharing will catch on because it would require a change in “nor

34、mative behavior”sciences strong culture of secrecy, in which data are kept under wraps until they are published in a peer-reviewed journal.One step toward full transparency is to follow the lead of human clinical trials, says Christine Grady, a bioethicist at the NIH. U.S. law requires most clinical

35、 trials to register online and make their results public, even if a study fails or is inconclusive. This ensures that other researchers can learn from a trial regardless of its resultsa move that could also safeguard primates against being used for the same thing twice. Nancy Haigwood, director of t

36、he Oregon National Primate Research Center, also says data sharing is “the way of the future.” Her center hosts 4,800 primates to study a variety of human diseases. She currently contributes results from her center to OConnors Web site. “I dont see a drawback,” she says. “We have to share data more

37、quickly.”28. What does Congress think of the primate research?A. It has done a great deal of good to advances in biomedicine.B. It is a huge waste of money to conduct research on primates.C. Primate-based research must be stopped for moral reasons.D. Proper attention should be given to treating prim

38、ates humanely.29. The underlined phrase “walking the walk” in Paragraph 2 shows that OConnor _.A. is the leader in fighting Zika virus in primates B. is walking away from his own responsibility C. is carrying out what he has said he should do D. is taking a tough road when posting his data30. Accord

39、ing to OConnor, what might prevent scientists from sharing their data?A. The deep-rooted culture that data should be kept secret until published.B. The fact that scientists are reluctant to change their way of researchC. The requirement that most clinical trials should be registered online.D. The fe

40、ar that they will be laughed at if a study fails or is inconclusive.31. What could be the best title for the passage?A. The Merciless Practice of Primate Research B. To Treat Primates More Humanely: TransparencyC. To Abandon Experiments on Primates: Final GoalD. The Burden of Research on Nonhuman Pr

41、imatesDMark and his brother Jason both were looking at the shining new computer eagerly. Jason decided not to go against their fathers wishes but Mark was more adventurous than his brother. He loved experimenting and hoped to become a scientist like his father.“Dad will be really mad if he finds out

42、 youve been playing with his new computer.” Jason said, “He told us not to touch it.”“He wont find out.” Mark said, “Ill just have a quick look and shut it down.”Mark had been scolded before for touching his fathers equipment. But his curiosity was difficult to control and this new computer really p

43、uzzled him.“It was a strange-looking machine one his dad had brought home from the laboratory where he worked. “Its an experimental model,” his father had explained, “so dont touch it under any circumstances.” But his warning only served to make Mark more curious. Without any further thought, Mark t

44、urned on the power switch. The computer burst into life and seconds later, the screen turned into colors, shifting and changing and then two big white words appeared in the center of the screen: “SPACE TRANSPORTER.”“Yes!” Mark cried excitedly, “Its a computer game. I knew it! Dads only been pretendi

45、ng to work. Hes really been playing games instead.” A new message appeared on the screen:“ENTER NAMESVOYAGER 1: VOYAGER 2: ”Marks fingers flew across the keyboard as he typed in both of their names.“INPUT ACCEPTED. START TRANSPORT PROGRAM. AUTO-RETRIEVE INITIATED（自动回收程序已启动）.”The screen turned even b

46、righter and a noise suddenly rose in volume.“I think wed better shut it off, Mark,” Jason yelled, reaching for the power switch. He was really frightened.But his hand never reached the switch. A single beam of dazzling white light burst out of the computer screen, wrapping the boys in its glow (光芒),

47、 until they themselves seemed to be glowing. Then it died down just as suddenly as it had burst into life. And the boys were no longer there. On the screen, the letters changed.“TRANSPORT SUCCESSFUL. DESTINATION: MARS. RETRIEVE DATE: 2025.”32. Why did Mark touch the computer against his fathers warn

48、ing?AHe wanted to take a voyage. BHe wanted to practice his skillCHe was so much attracted by it.DHe was eager to do an experiment.33Where did the boys father most likely work?AIn an electronic factory. BIn a computer company.CIn a scientific research center.DIn an information processing center.34Wh

DHe was afraid something dangerous might happen.35What happened to the boys at the end of the story? AThey were blown into the air. BThey were se

DThey were carried away to another country第二节：七选五（共 5 小题，每小题 2.5 分，满分 12.5 分）Many facts suggest that children are overweight and the situation is getting worse, according to the doctors. 36 .Some people blame(责备) the fact that we are surrou

51、nded (包围) by shops selling unhealthy, fatty foods, such as fried chicken and ice cream, at low prices. 37 , then probably children would buy less take-away food.38 . I agree with this, because good eating habits begin early in life, long before children start to visit fast food shops. If parents oft

52、en give their children fried chicken and chocolate rather than healthy food, they will go for sweet and salty foods, and children will find it hard to get rid of the habit.There is a third reason for this situation. Children these days take very little exercise. They do not walk to school. When they

53、 get home, they sit in front of the television or their computers and play computer games. 39. . What they need is to go outside and play active games or sports.The above are the main reasons for this problem. 40 , as well as forcing them away from fast food shops and bad eating habits.A. There is a

Therefore we have to encourage young people to be more activeE. Not only is this an unhealthy pastime (消遣), it also gives

Okay Danny, could you tell us how to produce a good piece of writing in college?M: Well, one of the basic things about any writing is to remember three key points: number one, say what youre going to say. So youre telling the reader what youre going to write about, a

90、 to grow. But actually, not all vegetables need lots of sunshine. Mark Hoffman and his wife own a guesthouse in Kempton, Illinois. They often serve their guests fresh vegetables from their garden. For almost ten years, the Hoffmans have been experimenting with shade plantings. Curious visitors often

91、 ask how they do it. Here is the answer: they grow tomatoes near the trees that produce a lot of shade. Tomato plants grow as long as they get five hours a day of direct sunshine, especially morning sun. This goes against the traditional advice that tomatoes need eight, even twelve hours a day of fu

92、ll sun. In fact, plants and tree roots can share something in common. Besides tomatoes, the Hoffmans grow Irish potatoes. Plants with wider leaves seem to do better in shady environments. The potatoes grow better in the shade than in full sun. 听力：CACBB CBCBA BACAC ABCAB阅读：BCA CDAB DCAB CCDB七选五：FCAED
