Besides being a lovely and important part of marine ecosystems, baby seals might have an unusual ability. They can change the pitch (音高) of their voices to be better understood, like humans do, a new study found. A person or animal using this skill is being what's called “vocally plastic”, or adjusting their vocal (声音的) signals in response to environmental changes that overlap or cover up their voices, according to the study published Monday in the journal Philosophical Transactions of The Royal Society.
The researchers had a number of reasons for wanting to test the vocal changes of baby harbor seals. The rare ability to copy new sounds—vocal learning—had been seen previously among adult harbor seals and a few other mammal species ( 哺乳动物),according to the authors. And very few mammals have the ability to change their vocal pitch to sound higher or lower, which is important for human communication. “By looking at one of the few other mammals who may be capable of learning sounds, we can better understand how we, humans, acquire speech, and finally why we are such chatty animals, ”said Andrea Ravignani.
As the seals heard a speaker play a 45-minute recording consisting of high noise, low noise or no playback over several days, they naturally called
out. When the baby seals heard louder sea noises, they lowered their vocal pitch. During more intense noise levels, the pups used a steadier pitch—and one seal raised its voice. This behavior, called the Lombard Effect, is typical for human speech when people talk louder to be more understandable, the authors said.
“The findings showed that seal pups have a more advanced control over their vocalisations than assumed up until now, ”Ravignani said in a statement. “This control seems to be already present at only a few weeks of age. This is astonishing, as few other mammals seem capable of that.”
What does paragraph 1 tell us about baby seals A.They are cute but rare.
They can change vocal pitch.
They can understand human words.
They can be harmed by environmental changes.
What is the researchers' main reason for studying baby seals A.To better understand adult harbor seals.
To show their rare ability of vocal learning.
To know more about human communication.
To find out how to protect them from extinction.
What does Ravignani intend to express in the last paragraph
Baby seals can control their vocalisations when born.
Baby seals' vocal ability is out of scientists' expectation.
Scientists have long understood the vocal ability of baby seals.
Many other baby mammals are better at vocalisations than baby seals.
What is the best title for the text
A surprising fact about baby seals
Baby seals are cuter than assumed
Harbor seals are in danger of extinction
The amazing survival ability of baby seals

It's common to hear Germans being highly regarded around the world for their workplace and office efficiency (效率). It is true that German workers are more productive than the rest of their European neighbors, while still taking more sick days and holidays, especially in comparison to British workers.
One of the reasons is that Germans' better understanding of a work-life
balance. By truly finding that sweet spot between work and play, Germans can be far more productive within the office, while relaxing more efficiently. Lots of references to this balance can be found in German slang. "Brückentage”, or “bridge days", is a common German saying which means to take time off around bank holidays, when most workers will take an extra day or two off work in order to refuel, preparing themselves mentally for the work ahead.
Another common German expression "Erst die Arbeit, dann das Vergnügen!”means "First work, then pleasure”. As such, there seems to be a culture within Germany of working first and then focusing on relaxing, all while understanding that taking time to recharge will help you be more productive in the future. There is a trend (趋势) within British office workers to come to work, even when they are ill, and to pay little attention to any sickness in front of management. While this does lead to more time in the office, it has serious negative effects on productivity and creates the risk of illnesses passing between colleagues. However, in Germany, there is a strong feeling that if you are sick you should stay at home—not only does it protect other office workers, but it also allows the individual to rest and recover properly, meaning they are fit for work and more productive in a shorter space of time.
What can be known about German workers from paragraph 1
They are believed to be more productive than British ones.
They are proud of having good working conditions.
They work less time due to fear of making mistakes.
They tend to become sick more often than British workers.
What do Germans do during “bridge days”
A. Play bridge. B. Work extra hours.
C. Rest and relax. D. Plan medical examinations.
Which best shows Germans' understanding of a work-life balance
A. Work less and play more. B. Keep on working though ill.
C. First work, then pleasure. D. More work, better life. 31.In which aspect do German workers differ from British workers
A. Working hours. B.Ways of management.
C. Work efficiency in offices. D. Attitudes to work with illness. D
Italy has made sure through law that every Italian and visitor to the
country has the right to come across the oldest trees in the nation, gaining the wonderful feeling of discovery and respect we get from seeing an ancient tree. The law of the ancient trees of Italy was passed in 1939, and protected 22, 000 trees of various sorts from harm.
One of the most important aspects of ancient trees is not their beauty, but the fact that their hollows (树洞), scars, dead branches, and living ones all play host to a wide variety of species like insects, mushrooms, birds, etc. Signs of damage, while hardly being pleasing to the eye, provide vital nutrients and shelters for the forest animals.
Many of the ancient trees didn't become important for their beauty, but for their age. The olive tree in the village of Villastrada in Umbria could be 2, 500years old, but it isn't exactly a looker. Its principal trunk has decayed for long, and other younger trunks have grown over its lifespan.
In 2013 a better definition of an ancient tree was passed into Italian law. Since then, over 3, 000 new trees have joined the national ancient tree list. Some are valued for their beauty; others for their age; yet more are valued for the cultural stories surrounding their lives.
The 800-year-old Cypress of Saint Francis is said to have been planted when, returning from a walk, Saint Francis of Assisi tried to burn the walking stick he had just used. When it failed to catch fire, he decided to plant it instead, saying“If you do not want to burn, grow up!"The cones (球果 ) that fall every year from that tree are gathered in the hopes that people who can manage to grow something from its seeds will have a blessed tree.
What is possibly the most important aspect of ancient trees A.Their extremely large sizes.
Their closeness to other species.
Their amazingly natural beauty.
Their effects as micro-ecosystems.
Why is the olive tree in Villastrada mentioned in paragraph 3
A. To present a fact. B.To confirm a policy.
C. To draw a conclusion. D.To explain a definition.
What made it possible for more trees to be recognized as ancient trees
The greatly increased public interest.
The growing number of ancient trees.
The great command from the government.
The change in defining an ancient tree.
What can we infer about the Cypress of Saint Francis
A. It is economically meaningful. B. It is the oldest ancient tree.
C. It is culturally valuable. D. It is easily accessible. 第二节 七选五（共 5 小题；每小题 2.5 分，满分 12.5 分）

On her 60th birthday, all the family members wished Mrs Herring, but her sad eyes were searching for Jackson everywhere.
“He isn’t here ” she asked sadly. “I’m sorry, honey,” said Mr Herring. “How about putting everything aside and just cutting the cake ” Mrs Herring sighed(叹气). She sat at the table and was about to blow out the candles when the doorbell rang.

An Amazing Chinese Festival
One of my favorite Chinese traditional festivals is the Mid-Autumn Festival. It is celebrated on the 15th day of the 8th month of the lunar calendar when the moon is at its fullest and brightest.
This festival has a rich history spanning over 3,000 years. Chinese people worshiped the moon to give thanks for the harvest and to encourage the “harvest-giving light” to return in the coming year. Nowadays, the full moon is a symbol of family reunions. Families gather to admire the full moon while enjoying tasty mooncakes whose round shape and sweet flavor symbolize completeness and sweetness.
The Mid-Autumn Festival holds deep cultural significance in Chinese tradition. It symbolizes unity and harmony within families, much like how the full moon brings everyone together under its light.
