Recent in-depth analyses of the songs sung by humpback whales show that, even when their organ would allow them to do otherwise, the animals converge on the same choices relating to sounds and beauty, and accept the same laws of song composition as those preferred by human musicians, and human ears, everywhere.For example, male humpback whales, who spend six months of each year doing little else but singing, use rhythms (节奏) similar to those found in human music and musical phrases of similar lengtha few seconds. Whales are able to make sounds over a range of at least seven octaves (八度音阶), yet they tend to move on through a song in beautiful musical intervals, rather than moving forwards madly. They mix the sounds like drums and pure tones in a ratio (比例) which agrees with that heard in much western music. They also use a favorite technique of human singers, the so-called A-B-A form, in which a theme is stated, then developed, and then returned to in slightly revised form.Perhaps most impressive, humpback songs contain tunes that rhyme. “This suggests that whales use rhyme in the same way we do: as a technique in poem to help them remember complex material,” the researchers write.32.The underlined words “converge on” in Paragraph 3 probably means_.A. tend towards B. refer to C. turn into D. put forward33.Which of the following shows the advanced musical ability in humpback whales?A. They can remember complex material.B. They can create pleasing patterns of music.C. They can make sounds like drums continuously.D. They can sing along with rhythms of western music.34.What is the main idea of the article?A. Animals are able to compose and enjoy music like humans.B. Human beings borrow ideas in music from humpback whales.C. Humpback whales are skillful performers in the animal kingdom.D. Music-making is an ancient activity of both humans and animals.35.The main purpose of the passage is to _.A. argue and discuss B. inform and explainC. compare and advertise D. examine and assess第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白中的最佳选项。选项中有两项是多余选项。Getting along well with parentsGetting along well with parents is a big problem for most teenagers.
