A
Elephants
are
able
to
know
the
difference
between
a
man
and
a
woman,
and
can
tell
an
adult
(成年人)
from
a
child—all
from
the
sound
of
a
human
voice.
This
is
according
to
a
study
in
which
researchers
played
voice
recordings
to
wild
African
elephants.
The
animals
showed
more
fear
when
they
heard
the
voices
of
adult
Masai
men.
Usually
Masai
people
hunt
elephants,
and
this
suggests
that
animals
have
grown
to
listen
for
and
avoid
them.
Prof.
Karen
McComb
and
Dr.
Graeme
Shannon
from
the
University
of
Sussex
led
the
study.
They
explained
that
in
former
research
they
had
used
similar
experiments
to
show
that
elephants
could
tell—from
the
sound
of
a
lion—whether
the
animal
was
a
female
(雌性)
or
a
more
dangerous
male
(雄性).
Prof.
McComb
wanted
to
find
out
if
the
animals
used
their
very
sharp
sense
of
hearing
to
recognize
danger
from
humans.
The
scientists
recorded
Masai
men,
women
and
children
saying,
in
their
own
language,
“Look,
look
over
there,
a
group
of
elephants
are
coming.
”
They
also
recorded
Kamba
men
saying
this
phrase.
Masai
people
often
come
across
elephants,
which
can
result
in
violent
(暴力的)
hunting.
Kamba
people,
however,
mainly
feed
on
agriculture,
which
does
not
generally
bring
them
into
violent
touch
with
the
animals.
When
the
team
played
recordings
of
these
different
voices
through
a
hidden
speaker,
they
found
that
elephant
family
groups
showed
more
fear
in
response
to
the
voice
of
a
Masai
man,
than
to
a
Kamba
man’s
voice.
And
the
adult
male
Masai
voices
caused
far
more
violent
response
than
the
voices
of
women
or
boys.
1.
An
elephant
can
tell
a
man
from
a
woman
by
sense
of
______.
?
A.
touch
B.
sight
C.
smell
D.
hearing
2.
How
did
the
researchers
get
to
know
the
elephants’
special
ability?
A.
By
watching
the
elephants
in
the
zoo.
B.
By
playing
voice
recordings
to
them.
C.
By
recording
the
behaviors
of
elephants.
D.
By
communicating
with
them
in
a
special
way.

from
the

that
elephants
are
especially
afraid
of
______.
?
A.
Masai
men
B.
Masai
women
C.

(2021·桂林高一检测)
When
people
want
to
know
about
the
weather,
they
usually
go
to
their
radios,
TVs,
newspapers,
or
to
the
Internet.
However,
you
can
also
find
many
weather
signs
among
wildlife,
because
of
their
highly
developed
senses.
Drops
in
air
pressure(压力)
produce
an
effect
on
small
animals
in
many
ways.
Mice
and
deer
are
good
weather
indicators.
People
who
spend
a
lot
of
time
outdoors
have
observed
that,
before
a
storm,
field
mice
come
out
of
their
holes
and
run
around.
Deer
leave
high
ground
and
come
down
from
the
mountains.
Birds
are
especially
good
weather
indicators
because
they
also
show
the
effect
of
a
pressure
drop
in
many
ways.
For
example,
some
birds
become
irritable(急躁的)
and
quarrelsome
and
will
fight
over
a
piece
of
bread.
Other
birds
chirp(叽叽喳喳)
and
sing
just
before
a
storm.
It
seems
they
know
they
won’t
get
another
chance
for
an
hour
or
two.
Birds
also
seek
safe
places
before
a
storm.
You
will
sometimes
see
birds
settling
in
trees
or
gathering
together
on
a
wire
close
to
a
building.
Pre-storm
low
pressure
makes
the
air
so
thin
that
birds
have
difficulty
flying.
It
is
unusual
to
see
many
birds
flying
overhead
in
the
summertime,
rather
than
during
the
periods
in
the
spring
or
autumn.
Watch
for
other
weather
signs
if
you
see
this.
If
they
fly
in
the
wrong
direction,
they
may
be
flying
ahead
of
a
storm.
By
paying
closer
attention
to
some
important
signs
in
nature,
we
can
become
better
prepared
for
any
kind
of
weather.

The
word
“indicators”
in
Paragraph
1
probably
means______.
?
A.
maps
B.
services
C.
signs
D.
stations
6.
There
will
be
a
storm
if
birds______.
?
A.
make
more
noise
than
usual
B.
fly
in
different
directions
C.
come
down
from
tall
trees
D.
share
a
piece
of
bread
7.
How
can
birds
sense
the
coming
of
a
storm?
A.
By
feeling
a
drop
in
air
temperature.
B.
By
noticing
the
change
of
wind
directions.
C.
By
feeling
a
drop
in
air
pressure.
D.
By
noticing
the
movements
of
other

Every
animal
sleeps,
but
the
reason
for
this
has
remained
foggy.
When
lab
rats
are
not
allowed
to
sleep,
they
die
within
a
month.
1 ?
One
idea
is
that
sleep
helps
us
strengthen
new
memories.
2
We
know
that,
while
awake,
fresh
memories
are
recorded
by
reinforcing
(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
form
the
next
day.
3 ?
Now
we
have
the
most
direct
evidence
yet
that
he
is
right.
4
The
synapses
in
the
mice
taken
at
the
end
of
a
period
of
sleep
were
18
percent
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,
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.
5 “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.

More
than
two
thirds
of
the
world’s
polar
bears
will
be
wiped
out
by
2050,
according
to
a
shocking
new
study.
By
then,
scientists
say,
global
warming
will
have
melted
42
percent
of
the
Arctic
sea
ice.
By
2100,
only
a
very
few
of
these
important
creatures
will
be
left.
The
report
has
been
produced
by
the
US
Geological
Survey.
The
scientists
have
publicized
their
findings
in
the
hope
of
influencing
US
Interior
Secretary
Dirk
Kempthorne,
who
has
been
asked
to
put
polar
bears
on
the
US
endangered
species
list.
Polar
bears
depend
on
floating
sea
ice
as
a
platform
for
hunting
seals,
which
are
their
main
food.
Without
enough
ice,
polar
bears
would
be
forced
to
go
onto
the
land,
where
they
are
poorly
skilled
hunters,
and
would
be
unlikely
to
adapt
to
the
life
on
the
land
in
time.
Experts
say
few
little
bears
would
survive
and
the
stress
could
make
many
females
unable
to
get
pregnant.
The
team
of
American
and
Canadian
scientists
spent
six
months
studying
bears,
on
the
ground,
from
spotter
planes
and
in
the
lab,
using
computer
models.
Some
team
members
fear
the
result
is
even
worse
for
the
bears
than
what
their
report
says.
They
say
the
Arctic
is
warming
faster
than
anywhere
in
the
world
and
much
faster
than
their
computer
has
been
forecasting.
Satellite
observations
have
showed
that
the
ice
has
decreased
to
an
all-time
low.
However,
not
everyone
in
the
scientific
community
believes
that
global
warming
is
happening
on
such
an
alarming
scale.
Another
investigation
has
found
that
polar
bears
are
still
being
hunted
by
wealthy
“sportsmen”
who
want
their
skins
and
heads.
At
least
ten
international
companies
offer
bear-hunting
trips.
1.
What
do
we
know
about
Dirk
Kempthorne
according
to
the
passage?
A.
He
is
an
animal
scientist.
B.
He
is
a
protector
of
animals
working
for
the
US
government.
C.
He
has
been
asked
to
put
polar
bears
on
the
US
endangered
species
list.
D.
He
has
offered
to
put
polar
bears
on
the
endangered
species
list.
2.
Why
will
polar
bears
die
out
if
there
is
not
enough
sea
ice?
A.
Because
polar
bears
can’t
catch
enough
food
without
ice.
B.
Because
polar
bears
eat
ice
when
they
feel
thirsty.
C.
Because
polar
bears
will
be
easily
found
by
hunters
without
ice.
D.
Because
most
female
bears
are
used
to
giving
birth
under
ice.

After
a
six-month
study,
some
scientists
fear
that______.
?
A.
there
is
something
wrong
with
their
computers
B.
polar
bears
will
disappear
even
faster
than
they
have

expected
C.
their
computer
models
are
not
as
accurate
as
they
expected
D.
global
warming
will
destroy
everything
in
the
Arctic
4.
What
is
this
passage
mainly
about?
A.
Global
warming
makes
the
whole
world
different.
B.
Human
beings
are
responsible
for
the
endangered
species.
C.
Most
of
the
polar
bears
will
have
been
wiped
out
by
the
end
of
this
century.
D.
Scientists
have
found
that

in
the

die
out
by

A
Elephants
are
able
to
know
the
difference
between
a
man
and
a
woman,
and
can
tell
an
adult
(成年人)
from
a
child—all
from
the
sound
of
a
human
voice.
This
is
according
to
a
study
in
which
researchers
played
voice
recordings
to
wild
African
elephants.
The
animals
showed
more
fear
when
they
heard
the
voices
of
adult
Masai
men.
Usually
Masai
people
hunt
elephants,
and
this
suggests
that
animals
have
grown
to
listen
for
and
avoid
them.
Prof.
Karen
McComb
and
Dr.
Graeme
Shannon
from
the
University
of
Sussex
led
the
study.
They
explained
that
in
former
research
they
had
used
similar
experiments
to
show
that
elephants
could
tell—from
the
sound
of
a
lion—whether
the
animal
was
a
female
(雌性)
or
a
more
dangerous
male
(雄性).
Prof.
McComb
wanted
to
find
out
if
the
animals
used
their
very
sharp
sense
of
hearing
to
recognize
danger
from
humans.
The
scientists
recorded
Masai
men,
women
and
children
saying,
in
their
own
language,
“Look,
look
over
there,
a
group
of
elephants
are
coming.
”
They
also
recorded
Kamba
men
saying
this
phrase.
Masai
people
often
come
across
elephants,
which
can
result
in
violent
(暴力的)
hunting.
Kamba
people,
however,
mainly
feed
on
agriculture,
which
does
not
generally
bring
them
into
violent
touch
with
the
animals.
When
the
team
played
recordings
of
these
different
voices
through
a
hidden
speaker,
they
found
that
elephant
family
groups
showed
more
fear
in
response
to
the
voice
of
a
Masai
man,
than
to
a
Kamba
man’s
voice.
And
the
adult
male
Masai
voices
caused
far
more
violent
response
than
the
voices
of
women
or
boys.
【文章大意】一项研究表明,
大象能根据人类说话的声音判断出人类是成年人还是小孩子,
以及其性别。

When
people
want
to
know
about
the
weather,
they
usually
go
to
their
radios,
TVs,
newspapers,
or
to
the
Internet.
However,
you
can
also
find
many
weather
signs
among
wildlife,
because
of
their
highly
developed
senses.
Drops
in
air
pressure(压力)
produce
an
effect
on
small
animals
in
many
ways.
Mice
and
deer
are
good
weather
indicators.
People
who
spend
a
lot
of
time
outdoors
have
observed
that,
before
a
storm,
field
mice
come
out
of
their
holes
and
run
around.
Deer
leave
high
ground
and
come
down
from
the
mountains.
Birds
are
especially
good
weather
indicators
because
they
also
show
the
effect
of
a
pressure
drop
in
many
ways.
For
example,
some
birds
become
irritable(急躁的)
and
quarrelsome
and
will
fight
over
a
piece
of
bread.
Other
birds
chirp(叽叽喳喳)
and
sing
just
before
a
storm.
It
seems
they
know
they
won’t
get
another
chance
for
an
hour
or
two.
Birds
also
seek
safe
places
before
a
storm.
You
will
sometimes
see
birds
settling
in
trees
or
gathering
together
on
a
wire
close
to
a
building.
Pre-storm
low
pressure
makes
the
air
so
thin
that
birds
have
difficulty
flying.
It
is
unusual
to
see
many
birds
flying
overhead
in
the
summertime,
rather
than
during
the
periods
in
the
spring
or
autumn.
Watch
for
other
weather
signs
if
you
see
this.
If
they
fly
in
the
wrong
direction,
they
may
be
flying
ahead
of
a
storm.
By
paying
closer
attention
to
some
important
signs
in
nature,
we
can
become
better
prepared
for
any
kind
of
weather.

阅读填句
Every
animal
sleeps,
but
the
reason
for
this
has
remained
foggy.
When
lab
rats
are
not
allowed
to
sleep,
they
die
within
a
month.
1 ?
One
idea
is
that
sleep
helps
us
strengthen
new
memories.
2
We
know
that,
while
awake,
fresh
memories
are
recorded
by
reinforcing
(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
form
the
next
day.
3 ?
Now
we
have
the
most
direct
evidence
yet
that
he
is
right.
4
The
synapses
in
the
mice
taken
at
the
end
of
a
period
of
sleep
were
18
percent
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,
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.
5 “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.

More
than
two
thirds
of
the
world’s
polar
bears
will
be
wiped
out
by
2050,
according
to
a
shocking
new
study.
By
then,
scientists
say,
global
warming
will
have
melted
42
percent
of
the
Arctic
sea
ice.
By
2100,
only
a
very
few
of
these
important
creatures
will
be
left.
The
report
has
been
produced
by
the
US
Geological
Survey.
The
scientists
have
publicized
their
findings
in
the
hope
of
influencing
US
Interior
Secretary
Dirk
Kempthorne,
who
has
been
asked
to
put
polar
bears
on
the
US
endangered
species
list.
Polar
bears
depend
on
floating
sea
ice
as
a
platform
for
hunting
seals,
which
are
their
main
food.
Without
enough
ice,
polar
bears
would
be
forced
to
go
onto
the
land,
where
they
are
poorly
skilled
hunters,
and
would
be
unlikely
to
adapt
to
the
life
on
the
land
in
time.
Experts
say
few
little
bears
would
survive
and
the
stress
could
make
many
females
unable
to
get
pregnant.
The
team
of
American
and
Canadian
scientists
spent
six
months
studying
bears,
on
the
ground,
from
spotter
planes
and
in
the
lab,
using
computer
models.
Some
team
members
fear
the
result
is
even
worse
for
the
bears
than
what
their
report
says.
They
say
the
Arctic
is
warming
faster
than
anywhere
in
the
world
and
much
faster
than
their
computer
has
been
forecasting.
Satellite
observations
have
showed
that
the
ice
has
decreased
to
an
all-time
low.
However,
not
everyone
in
the
scientific
community
believes
that
global
warming
is
happening
on
such
an
alarming
scale.
Another
investigation
has
found
that
polar
bears
are
still
being
hunted
by
wealthy
“sportsmen”
who
want
their
skins
and
heads.
At
least
ten
international
companies
offer
bear-hunting
trips.
