Neighboring groups of birds within the same species can create very different-looking nests — showing that their nest-building choices aren’t only controlled by instinct (本能) and the environment. Instead, these birds seem to learn rules for nest-making that get passed down within a family group from generation to generation.
That’s the conclusion of researchers who studied nearly 450 grassy structures built over two years by white-browed sparrow weavers living in the Kalahari Desert in South Africa. These small, brown-and-white birds live in groups, and it turns out that groups of birds that lived quite near to each other built distinctive architectural forms.
The biggest difference was in “how short or long the structures are,” says study lead author Maria C. Tello-Ramos, a cognitive ecologist at the University of Hull in England. Furthermore, each group maintained the same architectural style over time— and when outsiders joined, they adapted to this style.
To examine what might account for the observed differences, the team carefully analyzed factors that can determine a nest’s size and shape for a given bird species: weather conditions, tree height, individuals’ body size and genetic (基因的) relatedness. Yet none of these factors seemed to play a relevant role in shaping how the Kalahari sparrows built their nests, the researchers report in Science.
“Then we say, ‘Okay, so what is left ’ ” Tello-Ramos explains. She and her colleagues proposed that cultural transmission (传输) might be key to nest building. “In our paper, we haven’t gotten there yet with experiments, but we have very good clues that that might be it, ” she says.
“These are important questions that are understudied, ” says Christina Riehl, an evolutionary biologist. She’s not convinced the study’s data are enough to fully rule out genetic influence. “They can’t actually look at the effect of, say, genetic differences, because they don’t have really good genetic information on all the individuals in these groups,” she says. “I think there’s a lot left to be done, and I think this paper will inspire future research in a really good way. ”
8. What plays a key role in birds’ nest-building choices according to the new study
A. Living conditions. B. Group traditions.
C. The influence of neighbors. D. The species of birds.
9. What do we know about the nests built by neighboring groups of birds
A. They are modeled after each other. B. They are made of different materials.
C. They vary most significantly in length. D. They share the same architectural style.
10. How did Tello-Ramos and his colleagues reach the study conclusion
A. Through statistical methods. B. Through careful experiments.
C. By excluding other possible factors. D. By reviewing findings of previous studies.
11. What does Christina Riehl think of the study
A. Limited but inspiring. B. Understudied and misleading.
C. Controversial but well-designed. D. Convincing and groundbreaking.
D
When middle school math teachers completed an online professional development (PD) program that uses artificial intelligence to improve their math knowledge and teaching skills, their students’ math performance improved.
This online professional development program relies on a virtual facilitator to present problems and provide feedback, aiming to enhance teachers’ mastery of knowledge and skills required. It covers why mathematical rules and procedures work and focuses on helping students employ instructional tools and strategies to overcome common struggles.
An experiment was conducted in which 53 middle school math teachers were randomly assigned to either this Al-based professional development or no additional training. On average, teachers spent 11 hours to complete the program. We then gave 1,727 of their students a math test. While students of these two groups of teachers started off with no difference in their math performance, the students taught by teachers who completed the program increased their mathematics performance by 0.18 points on average. This is a statistically significant gain that is equal to the average math performance difference between sixth and seventh graders in the study.
Teachers often have limited access to high-quality PD programs to improve their knowledge and teaching skills. Time conflicts or living in rural areas that are far from in-person professional development programs can prevent teachers from receiving the support they need. Additionally, many existing in-person professional development programs for teachers have little impact on student achievement. AI-based PD programs include opportunities for teachers to observe teaching practices. Teachers also receive real-time support from the program facilitators. The Al-supported virtual facilitator acting as a human instructor gives teachers authentic teaching activities to work on, asks questions and provides real-time feedback and guidance.
Advancements in AI technologies will allow researchers to develop more interactive, personalized learning environments for teachers. More importantly, AI-based PD programs can collect rich, real-time interaction data, which help make programs more effective. Despite billions of dollars being spent each year on professional development for teachers, research suggests that how teachers learn through professional development is not yet well understood.
12. What was the goal of the online professional development program
A. To create widely accessible methods B. To improve teachers’ teaching skills.
C. To solve students’ common problems. D. To analyze students’ math performance.
13. How did the students taught by the teachers of the AI-based PD program perform
A. They exhibited statistically significant improvement.
B They performed even better than the seventh graders.
C. They solved the math problem faster than the average.
D. They started with lower performance but ended higher.
14. How does the author highlight AI-based PD programs in paragraph 4
A. By listing current shortcomings. B. By clarifying essential concepts.
C. By providing theoretical models. D. By comparing different trainings.
15. What can we infer from the last paragraph
A. There is a demand for larger investments in professional development.
B. AI technologies have helped us figure out how teachers learn in trainings.
C. The expected benefits of teacher training programs have yet to be realized.
D. It is a must for teachers to complete the professional development programs.

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Anna was always known as the quiet girl. Despite her love for painting, she never shared her works with anyone. In her final year of high school, she came across a poster announcing an art competition. The theme of the competition was “Courage”, and the prize was a scholarship to a well-known art school. It was the opportunity Anna had dreamed of, but her fear of judgment held her back.
For days, Anna struggled with self-doubt. Her best friend Mia tried to encourage her. “You have a gift, Anna. Don’t hide it,” she said. But Anna could only think of all the ways she might fail. Her paintings, filled with vivid colors and bold strokes (笔触), were a reflection of her personal emotions, and the thought of others seeing them made her feel exposed and lacking in confidence.
One evening, while considering whether to enter the competition, she received a call from her older brother Tom, who was studying abroad. “Remember Dad’s old easel (画架) ” he asked. “He always said it was meant for an artist who isn’t afraid to show the world who they really are.”
The dusty and unused easel stood in the corner of her room, a silent reminder of the father she had lost two years earlier. His dream had been to see Anna become a famous artist, but since his passing, she had been too afraid to pursue that dream.
Inspired by her father’s words and Tom’s encouragement, Anna decided to take the chance. She spent the next week working tirelessly on her painting. It vividly depicted (描绘) a sunflower standing tall in a storm — symbolizing resilience (复原力) and hope, just as her father had always taught her.
When she finally submitted the piece, she felt a mix of fear and relief. She had done it, regardless of the outcome. She had taken the first. step towards her dream.
注意：
（1）续写词数应为150个左右；
（2）请按如下格式作答。
A week later, Anna received an unexpected email.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
On the day of the exhibition, Anna walked into the gallery nervously.
