chirps are like the sounds that many birds make.now scientists have translated some of their squirrel-speak.hare,a professor of zoology at the university of maniloha in winnipeg,and his team managed to record squirrels alarm calls.the researchers studied the sounds and then played them back to 60 wild squirrels,which the scientists approached individually with a video recorder to capture(抓拍)their responses.some squirrels lifted their heads up and became alert(警惕的).creatures that were more frightened simply ran for their lives and dived into caves.“in effect then,whistles that mix with chucks say theres an enemy of average threat thats here,and whistles without chucks say theres an enemy of seemingly average threat around here somewhere,while pure chirps say,im hiding here because theres an immediate danger.” hare told discovery news.hare and some other researchers believe such sounds are part of an advanced language that develops just as all other communication systems.although squirrels risk their lives when they call out to warn others of threats,other squirrels might admire this behavior,thus increasing the callers social status,like humans who look up to heroes.hare added that other animals,such as birds,probably understand at least some squirrel language,since they also may benefit from the alarm calls.in fact,another canadian study found that deep-voiced,black-capped chickadees have their own language too.according to certain research,there are a lot of tidings in chickadees calls,such as directing fellows activities,keeping in contact between mates,and raising alarms.while chickadees and other birds are often welcomed into gardens by homeowners,squirrels are frequently viewed as pests(害兽).hare wishes a greater understanding of the complex social lives and communication systems of squirrels will provide “hope that humans will gain a greater appreciation and stop doing harm to these animals.”21.the text mainly talks about .a.the study on the language of squirrelsb.the comparison between squirrels and chickadeesc.the calling for the protection of squirrelsd.the ways for squirrels to escape from their enemies解析:主旨归纳题。纵观全文可以看出,文章向我们讲述了hare以及他带领的团队对松鼠所使用的语言进行的研究。答案:a22.the underlined word “tidings” in paragraph 6 probably means .a.difficultiesb.poisesc.messagesd.languages解析:词义推测题。由下文such as 后面列举的“directing fellows activities, keeping in contact between mates, and raising alarms.”可知是在传递不同的信息,由此可以看出,该词和message同义。答案:c23.what can be learned from this text?a.squirrels communicate with each other as humans do.b.some squirrels understand the recorded alarm calls.c.other animals also well understand the language of squirrels.d.birds such as chickadees dont have their own language.解析:推理判断题。从文章的第二段第三、四句“some squirrels lifted their heads up and became alert(警惕的).creatures that were more frightened simply ran for their lives and dived into caves. ”可以看出,有些松鼠对于“the recorded alarm calls”反应很迅速,也就是说它们能理解这种叫声。答案:b24.the attitude of the writer towards squirrels is .a.objectiveb.appreciativec.negatived.indifferent解析:推理判断题。根据文章最后一段的内容可知,作者对松鼠是持赞赏态度的。答案:bbits true that quite a few most respected scientific authorities have confirmed that the world is becoming hotter and hotter.theres also strong evidence that humans are contributing to the warming.countless recent reports have proved the same thing.for instance,a 2011 summary about the climate science by the royal society noted that:“the global warming over the last half-century has been caused mainly by human activity.”you may not believe that humans could change the planets climate,but the basic science is well understood.each year,billions of tons of greenhouse gases are released into the atmosphere because of human activity.as has been known for years,these gases hold heat that would otherwise escape to space,wrapping the planet in an invisible blanket.of course,the earths climate has always been changing due to “natural” factors such as volcanic eruption or changes in solar,or cycles concerning the earths going around the sun.according to the scientific research,however,the warming observed by now matches the pattern of warming we would expect from a build-up of greenhouse gas in the atmospherenot the warming we would expect from other possible causes.even if scientists did discover another reasonable explanation for the warming recorded so far,that would give birth to a difficult question.as robert henson puts it:“if some newly discovered factor is to blame for the climate change,then why arent carbon dioxide and the other greenhouse gases producing the warming that basic physics tells us they should be?”the only way to prove with 100% certainty that humans are responsible for global warming would be to run an experiment with two identical earthsone with human influence and one without.that obviously isnt possible,and so most scientists are careful not to state human influence as an absolute certainty.25.from the underlined sentence in paragraph 3,we know that the writer .a.thinks humans have made great contributions to the environmental protectionb.thinks human activities are mainly responsible for the global warmingc.thinks the global warming has nothing to do with human activitiesd.thinks “natural” factors play a big part in causing the global warming解析:作者观点题。在第三段中,作者首先承认了存在导致全球气候变暖的自然因素,但进一步指出,人类排放的温室气体也难辞其咎。答案:b26.the text is developed by .a.giving typical examplesb.following the order of spacec.analyzing a theory and arguing itd.comparing and finding differences解析:文章结构题。纵观全文,第一段提出人类活动因素是导致全球气候变暖的主要原因。接下来进一步分析并讨论人类活动导致全球气候变暖的原因。故文章是按照分析理论并围绕其展开讨论这一思路展开的。答案:c27.which of the following can be the best title?a.are all the scientists really scientific?b.where is global warming leading us to?c.are humans definitely causing global warming?d.whats relation of global warming and greenhouse gases?解析:主旨归纳题。文章首先提出人类活动导致了全球气候变暖,然后进一步分析并讨论人类活动是导致全球气候变暖的原因。对于人类活动因素的强调贯穿文章始终。故are humans definitely causing global warming?适合作文章标题。答案:ccnow in a world piled high with smartphones,tablets and e-readers,technology has entered the classroom in ways unimaginable.taking classes can be fun too.all you have to do is to swipe your fingers on your phone screen and download some apps,which can make your study more fun and efficient.balancing study and play in a college setting has never been easyand with the following few apps,itll be tough to tell the two apart.evernoteuse:note-takingcan be used on:phone / ipad / ipod touch,android,blackberry,palmos and windows phone 7price:freeits hard to imagine that with all the magical gadgets,the eager,studious types would still take out a notepad,pencil,and highlighter and take notes in class.while its not an actual planner or calendar app,if you take notes to stay organized,then evernote is for you.the main thing about evernote is that all of your notes are automatically sent into the cloud(云储存平台上)and then you can access them from any web-connected computer via the evernote app or a web browser.evernote also supports audio and photo notesrather handy if you want to record your lecture or take photos of any projected notes.but,of course,ask for permission first.wikipanionuse:research databasecan be used on:iphone / pad /

access to the research databases just on your smartphone or tablet.wikipanion gives you a simplified version of wikipeda without leaving out any of the sites extra features.the normal links that youd see to each section of an article are no longer on the main screen.instead,theres a small icon located at the bottom of the app,which can be used to access all the sections of an article.you can also open the links in safari(苹果浏览器).according to the developers site,loading wikipedia pages with wikpanion is a lot faster than accessing the wikipedia site from the iphones browser.to be honest,we agree.conquering bilingual news listening in 7 daysuse:english learning applicationcan be used on:iphone / ipad / ipod touchprice:for a limited time you can get the app for only$0.99-half price.still
