The idea for a science experiment can come from an unusual place. After watching a YouTube video of a dancing bird named Snowball, a scientist in California decided to study the ability of animals to keep the beat.
Bird lovers have long claimed that their pets have rhythm, and there are many videos of dancing birds online. Until now, scientists have suspected that humans are the only animals that can accurately keep rhythm with music.
Thanks to Snowball, that scientific opinion is changing. Snowball is a cockatoo, a kind of parrot, and his favorite song is “Everybody” by the Backstreet Boys. When he hears the song, he moves his feet and sways his body with the tempo, or pace of the music, as though he is the only bird member of the boy band. Aniruddh Patel is a neuroscientist, or a scientist who studies how the brain and the nervous system contribute to learning, seeing and other mental abilities. He works at the the Neurosciences Institute in San Diego. After seeing Snowball’s dance moves online,
Patel visited the cockatoo at the bird rescue facility he’s called home for two years. The scientist played “Everybody” for Snowball and also played versions of the song that were sped up or slowed down. Sometimes, Snowball danced too fast or too slowly. Often, when there was a change in tempo, Snowball adjusted his dancing to match the rhythm. In other experiments, scientists have observed the same abilities in preschool children.Patel isn’t the only scientist who has studied Snowball’s moves. Adena Schachner, who studies psychology at Harvard University, also wanted to know more about the dancing bird. Schachner’s team played different musical pieces for Snowball and a parrot named Alex, as well as eight human volunteers. The scientists observed that the birds and the humans kept time to the music with about the same accuracy.
Schachner and her team didn’t stop with the birds. She and her colleagues watched thousands of YouTube videos of different animals moving to music. Not all the animals could dance, however. From watching the videos, the scientists observed that only animals that imitate sounds, including 14 parrot species and Asian elephants, accurately moved in time to music.
1.The underlined words “that scientific opinion” in the third paragraph refers to the theory that____.
A.humans are the only animals that can accurately keep rhythm with music
B.the brain and the nervous system contribute to some mental abilities
C.bird pets can have their special rhythm under human’s instruction
D.birds like Snowball have the ability to keep the beat
2.From the fourth paragraph we may know that_______.
A.Snowball is able to adjust his dancing to match the rhythm
B.Patel is the only scientist who has studied Snowball’s moves
C.Snowball can not dance to the versions of the song Everybody
D.it is the brain and the nervous system that control the mental abilities
3.The idea of studying animals’ ability to keep the beat comes from______.
A.bird lovers’ discovery
B.videos of dancing birds
C.human’s musical sense
D.the same abilities in children
4.According to the scientists, Snowball’s ability to dance to music is probably related to the fact that_____.
A.it is the only bird member of the Backstreet Boys band
B.it has the same abilities as preschool children
C.it has the ability to imitate sounds
D.it is a kind of dancing parrot
Although problems are a part of our lives, it certainly doesn't mean that we let them rule our lives forever. One day or the other, you'll have to stand up and say—problem, I don't want you in my life.
5 Problems with friends, parents, girlfriends, husbands, and children—the list goes on. Apart from these, the inner conflicts within ourselves work, too. These keep adding to our problems. Problems come in different shapes and colors and feelings.
But good news is that all problems can be dealt with. Now read on to know how to solve your problems.
Talk, it really helps. What most of us think is that our problem can be understood only by us and that no talking is going to help. 6 Talking helps you move on and let go.
Write your problems. 7 When you write down your problems, you are setting free all the tension from your system. You can try throwing away the paper on which you wrote your problems. By doing this, imagine yourself throwing away the problems from your life.
Don't lose faith and hope. No matter what you lose in life, don't lose faith and hope. Even if you lose all your money, family…you should still have faith. 8
Your problems aren't the worst. No matter what problem you get in life, there're another one million people whose problems are huger than yours. 9 Your problems might just seem big and worse, but in reality they can be removed.
Go about and solve your problems because every problem, however big or small, always has a way out.
A.But the truth is that when you talk about it, you're setting free the negative energies that have been gathering within you.
B.When we have a problem, a pressing, critical, urgent, life-threatening problem, how do we try and solve it?
C.Tell yourself: when they can deal with them, why can't I?
D.Of course, we've been fighting problems ever since we were born.
E.We can often overcome the problem and achieve the goal by making a direct attack.
F.Having a personal diary can also be of huge help if you don't want a real person to talk with.
G.With faith and hope, you can rebuild everything that you lose.

Last week, my granddaughter started kindergarten. As is 1 , I wished her success. I was lying. What I actually wish for her is 2 . I believe in the power of failure.
Success is 3 . Success is proving that you can do something that you already know you can do, or doing something correctly the first time, which can 4 be a problematical victory. First-time success is usually a fluke (侥幸). First-time failure, 5 , is expected; it is the natural order of things.
Failure is how we learn. I have been told of an African phrase 6 a good cook as “she who has broken many pots”. If you've spent enough time in the 7 to have broken a lot of pots, probably you know a fair amount about 8 .I once had a late dinner with a group of chefs, and they spent time 9 knife wounds and burn scars. They knew how much credibility (信誉)their 10 gave them.
I earn my living by writing a daily newspaper column. Each week I am 11 that one column is going to be the worst column of the week. I don't set out to write it; I try my best every day. 12 , every week, one column is inferior (较差的)to the others, sometimes extremely so.
I have learned to 13 that column. A successful column usually means that I am treading (踩踏) on 14 ground, going with the tricks that work, or dressing up popular ideas in fancy words. Often in my inferior columns, I am trying to 15 something I've never done before, something I'm not even sure can be done.
My granddaughter is a perfectionist. She will feel her failures, and I will want to 16 her. But I will also, I hope, 17 her of what she learned, and how she can do whatever it is 18 next time. I probably won't tell her that failure is a good thing, because that's not a(n) 19 you can learn when you're five. I hope I can tell her, though, that it's not the end of the world. Indeed, with luck, it is the 20 .
1.A.usual B.conventional C.expected D.contradictory

Ⅰ. 阅读理解
语篇导读:YouTube 播放的一只有音乐节奏感的鸟引起了科学家的兴趣。研究表明,很多动物的音乐节奏感并不亚于人类,而在此之前,人们一直认为只有人类才有乐感。
1.A词义猜测题。从语境看,划线部分的“科学观点”指前一段提到的科学家们猜测人类是唯一有音乐节奏感的动物。
2.A细节理解题。第四段讲到科学家Patel 对名叫“Snowball”的鸟进行研究, 他发现这只鸟能根据音乐节奏的快慢来调节自己的节奏。 第五段第1句说明B项错误。
3.B推理判断题。根据第四段开头说,在观看了YouTube播放的“Snowball”的舞蹈视频之后,科学家决定对此进行研究,由此判断,这一研究是源于这段在线视频。
4.C细节理解题。根据最后一段可知,科学家们研究发现,只有那些能模仿声音的动物能准确地跟着音乐的节奏跳动,这些动物包括14种鹦鹉和亚洲象。
B 语篇导读:本文主要介绍了如何处理生活中遇到的问题。比如,要取得别人的帮助,要有信心,碰到问题不要灰心丧气等等。
5.【解析】根据第一段“…you'll have to stand up and say—problem, I don't want you in my life.”和第二段“Problems with friends, parents, girlfriends, husbands, and children—the list goes on.”可知,问题伴随一个人的一生,D项“当然,自从我们出生的那一刻起,我们就在和麻烦作斗争”起到了衔接上下文的作用,故选D项。
【答案】D
6.【解析】根据本段中“What most of us think is that our problem can be understood only by us and that no talking is going to help.(大多数人都会认为,自己的问题只有自己能够解决,说出来也没有用。)”而A项内容是强调把问题说出来能够释放内心积压的消极情绪,表示一种转折,故选A项。
【答案】A
7.【解析】根据“Write your problems…When you write down your problems, you are setting free all the tension from your system.”可知,本段的建议是人们可以通过写日记来排除内心的紧张,而F选项“Having a personal diary can also be of huge help if you don't want a real person to talk with.”内容符合语境,而且diary是信息词,故选F项。
【答案】F
8.【解析】根据“Don't lose faith and hope…you should still have faith.”可知,本段强调的是无论何时都不要失去信念和希望,而G选项“With faith and hope, you can rebuild everything that you lose.”也是告诫人们只要有信念和希望,就能重建生活,内容可以承接上文,故选G项。
【答案】G
9.【解析】根据“No matter what problem you get in life, there're another one million people whose problems are huger than yours.”可知本段讲的是自己遇到的问题不会比他人的严重。而C项“告诉自己:他们都能把问题解决掉,自己为什么不能?”符合语境,故选C项。
【答案】C
Ⅱ.完形填空
语篇导读:本文讲述的是一位祖父(母)希望孙女从上幼儿园开始,先遭遇一些失败,因为这是事情发展的自然规律,比如在烹饪过程中“打破了很多锅”的厨子才是好厨子;并联想到自己写报刊专栏,要不怕失败,勇于尝试自己不熟悉的方面。
1.【解析】孙女上幼儿园,从传统上来讲,祖父(母)当然希望她能成功,所以填as is conventional。usual通常的;expected预计的,期望的;contradictory相反的,对立的。
【答案】B
2.【解析】下一句讲到I was lying,体现作者并不真的希望她成功,而是希望她失败,这与全文的主要思想是完全吻合的。
【答案】A
3.【解析】成功是平淡的,联系下句“成功是证明了你能做你已经知道你能做的事情”和上句“我相信失败的力量”,证明作者认为一开始就获得成功是件无趣的事情。
【答案】C
4.【解析】而且首次尝试就获得成功,经常可能是带有问题的胜利,因为你不经历失败,不会真正明白如何去成功,此处如果使用always,概率太高,不符合文意。
【答案】B
5.【解析】此处要表达一种句意的转折,by contrast 相当于 however; on purpose 故意;at length最后;in turn依次,轮流。
【答案】D
6.【解析】一句非洲谚语将好厨子描写成“一个打破了很多锅的人”,因为只有遭遇了很多失败的人才有可能真正成功,这才符合文意。define(限定,限制),classify(分类),view(评价)都不合适。
【答案】C
7.【解析】厨师当然是在厨房工作。
【答案】B
8.【解析】厨师了解的当然是关于烹饪。
【答案】B
9.【解析】结合第9空和第10空,可知厨师们是在一起比较刀伤和烫伤,在展示伤痕的同时,可能还在讲述关于伤痕的故事,所以display (展示)不合适,count(计数)也不合适,compete (竞争) 用法为compete for/against/with, 均不合适。
【答案】D
10.【解析】从全文来看,是失败带给了厨师们成功(好手艺)。
【答案】B
11.【解析】每周总有一份报刊专栏是本周最糟糕的专栏,这是自然的现象,所以是我意识到这一点,而不是怀疑这一点。答案为be aware, 而不是be skeptical。
【答案】A
12.【解析】与上文的关系是:尽管如此,每周还是会有一份专栏比其他的专栏要差一些。still做副词,表示“不过,但是”;如:The weather was cold and wet, still, we had a great time.
【答案】C
13.【解析】cherish表达的意思是“珍惜,珍视”;作者珍惜那个专栏实际上是珍惜失败的机会,因为多次的失败会转换成成功,这和全文的大意是一致的。
【答案】C
14.【解析】第14空应该和第15空结合起来看,“我经常试图在我写得较差的专栏里完成我以前从未做过的事情,一些我甚至不能确信我能做到的事。”与此相反,“我在成功的专栏里写我熟悉的东西”,即“站在熟悉的地面(基础)上,使用有效的技巧,用华丽的词汇修饰受欢迎的想法”。
【答案】D
15.【解析】get through 此处意为“设法完成,处理”。
【答案】B
16.【解析】孙女遭受失败的时候,祖父(母)首先一定是安慰她,所以填comfort。 amuse (逗乐),reward(回报), tease (取笑,捉弄) 都不合适。
【答案】B
17.【解析】祖父(母)会提醒孙女关于她所学到的东西,并且告诉她如何能在下一次做得更好,这样理解才符合文章的大意,失败之后才更接近成功。inform(通知,告知)不符合上下文。
【答案】A
18.【解析】见17题解析。
【答案】C
19.【解析】祖父(母)不会告诉孙女失败是个好事,因为这对于一个5岁的孩子来说,不是她所能记住的教训。
【答案】D
20.【解析】失败不是世界末日,而是开端,所以选择beginning。
【答案】A
