Rats can use the rhythm of human language to tell the difference between Dutch and Japanese, researchers in Spain reported.
Their study suggests that animals, especially mammals, evolved some of the skills underlying the use and development of language long before language itself ever evolved, the researchers said.
It is the first time an animal other than a human or monkey has been shown to have this skill.
For their study neuroscientists(神经系统科学家) Juan Toro and colleagues at Barcelona’s Scientific Park tested 64 adult male rats.
They used Dutch and Japanese because these languages were used in earlier, similar tests, and because they are very different from one another inuse of words, rhythm and structure.
The rats were trained to respond to either Dutch or Japanese using food as a reward.
Then they were separated into four groups—one that heard each language spoken by a native, one that heard synthesized(综合)speech, one that heard sentences read in either language by different speakers and a fourth that heardthe languages played backwards.
Rats rewarded for responding to Japanese did not respond to Dutch and rats trained to recognize Dutch did not respond to the spoken Japanese .
The rats could not tell apart Japanese or Dutch played backwards.
“ Results showed that rats could recognize natural sentences when uttered by a single speaker and not when uttered by different ones, nor could they distinguish the languages when spoken by different people,” the researchers wrote.
Human newborns have the same problem, although tamarins(绢毛猴) can easily tell languages apart even when spoken by different people, the researchers said.
The study shows “ which abilities that humans use for language are shared with other animals, and which are uniquely human. It also suggests what sort of evolutionary precursors language might have.”
56. The author’s purpose in writing this article is to ______.
A. describe the difference between rats and human newborns
B. tell us rats can distinguish human language by using the rhythm of human language
C. give us some facts that rats are different from tamarins in some ways
D. list some languages which are used to tell the difference between an animal and a human
57. According to neuroscientists Juan Toro and colleagues’ test, if a rat was trained in Chinese, the rat could respond to ______.
A. Dutch B. Japanese
C. Chinese D. both Japanese and Dutch
58.Which of the following is one of the reasons why neuroscientists used Dutch and Japanese to test 64 adult male rats?
A.They were not used in earlier, similar tests.
B. They are very similar in use of words, rhythm and structure.
C. They are both simple and interesting.
D. They are very different in use of words, rhythm and structure.
59. According to the passage, tamarins ______human newborns at telling languages apart.
A. are better than B. are as good as
C. are worse than D. are as poor as
B
Tens of thousands of tsunami(海啸) survivors are at risk from diseases spread by dirty water, mosquitoes and crowding, and the best medicine is large quantities of clean water, officials of the World Health Organization said.
While no epidemics have been made sure in the vast coastal areas destroyed by the tsunamis, the officials said they were most worried about diarrhea diseases—cholera, typhoid fever and shigellosis—as well as liver diseases like hepatitis A and E. Those diseases are caused by bacteria or viruses in dirty drinking water or food, in sewage and among people who lack clean water to wash their hands.
Health organizations like the WHO and UNICEF recommend that each person be given about five gallons of clean water a day. Dr. David Nabarro, the director of crisis operations for the WHO, said in a telephone interview from its headquarters in Geneva that water shortages had already occurred in the Maldives and Sir Lanka, and that tanker trucks would be needed to provide clean water.
In addition, water-purifying tablets are being rushed into the affected countries, along with medicines to treat the dehydration that can result from diarrhea.
Another risk to drinking water is pollution of wells by salt water from the tsunamis. Martin Dawes, a regional spokesman for UNICEF in Colombo, Sir Lanka, estimated that 1,000 drinking-water wells in the country’s hard-hit eastern region had been contaminated and would have to be pumped out.
“ At the moment,” he said, “ the people don’t have the right kind of pumps to rescue the wells.” He added that his agency was seeking pumps or money to buy them.
Mr. Dawes said UNICEF had also bought about 20 million gallons of drinking water in 1,500-gallon barrels, enough for 100,000 people, and was expecting them to be delivered to the affected areas.
60. The underlined sentence in the first paragraph probably means that _______.
A. people drink clean water instead of having medicine in the vast coastal areas
B. clean water is most needed in the vast coastal areas destroyed by the tsunamis
C. medicine is more important than clean water in the vast coastal areas
D. medicine is as important as clean water in the vast coastal areas
61. The officials of the WHO were most worried about _______.
A. diarrhea diseases B. dirty food
C. mosquitoes D. crowding
62. Which of the following statement is TRUE?
A. The Maldives and Sir Lanka were not in need of clean water.
B. The people had the right kind of pumps to save the wells.
C. About 1,000 drinking-water wells in Sir Lanka were full of salt water.
D. About 20 million gallons of drinking water UNICEF had bought had been delivered to the affected areas.
63. What does the underlined word “ contaminated” in the fifth paragraph probably mean?
A. Destroyed badly B. Filled with sand
C. Become small D. Made dirty
C
Here are four pieces of news from China Daily.Russia
The first computer worm that can spread between cell phones has been developed. Russian experts say that the virus, called Cabir, has only been tested by researchers working in a laboratory.
It is believed that Cabir was created by an international group, which aims to show that no technology is reliable and safe from its attacks.
The experts are worried that other virus writers could use Cabir as a basis for a more dangerous worm.
Iraq
More than 100 people, including three US soldiers, were killed in bloody attacks in five Iraqi cities last Thursday. At least 300 people were wounded.
The violence was part of efforts made by Iraqi rebels and foreign militants to ruin the formal handover to Iraqi rule in six day's time. A group headed by al-Qaida-linked(和其地组织有关的)terrorist Abu Musab al-Zarqawi said they were responsible for the attacks.
Britain
A high school in southern England has become the first in the country to ban skirts. From December all girls at Kesgrave High School will have to wear trousers.
School chairwoman Margaret Young said the new uniform policy was being introduced because hemlines had risen to a level that had become impractical as well as immodest.
China
The giant panda habitat in Sichuan Province has increased 70 percent over the last two decades to more than 17,000 square kilometers, according to the latest provincial forestry department study. Sichuan has 1,204 wild giant pandas, or 80 percent of China’s total. The number of wild giant pandas in the province is up 30 percent from the 1980s.

Ida Tarbell was one of the first investigative reporters. She and other journalists wrote about the political, economic, and social wrongs in the early 1900’s, President Theodore Roosevelt gave these writers the name “ muckraker”. Ida Tarbell accepted the title as a mark of honor, for she thoroughly researched her subjects and carefully proved her findings.
After graduating from. Allegheny College, Ida Tarbell became head of a private school, where she also taught eight subjects. When her contract expired, she began writing magazine and newspaper articles and books. She wrote biographies of Manon Roland ( a leader of the French Revolution), Napoleon Bonaparte, and Abraham Lincoln. Her most famous work, however, was The history of the Standard Oil Company, an expose of the unlawful business practices of the oil industry.
When she began investigating the Standard Oil Company, she expected that her findings would fill about three articles. The first installment appeared in McChure’s Magazine in November 1902. By the time she had finished her investigation, she had written eighteen installments, the last of which appeared in October 1904.The articles were later combined into a two-volume book of 554 pages. Her research was thorough and her information accurate. She disclosed the company’s power and the ill practices it followed to achieve that power. Because of her findings, the movement to end the powerful monopolies was greatly strengthened. In 1911, the Supreme Court of the United States won its case to break the Standard Oil Company monopoly.
67. Judging from the context, the meaning of the underlined word in Paragraph 1 is “______”.

Dr. Thomas Starzl, like all the pioneers of organ transplantation, had to learn to live with failure. When he performed the world’s first liver transplant 25 years ago, the patient, a three-year-old boy, died on the operating table. The next four patients didn’t live long enough to get out of the hospital. But more determined than discouraged, Starzl and his colleagues went back to their lab at the University of Colorado Medical School. They created techniques to reduce the heavy bleeding during surgery, and they worked on better ways to prevent the patient’s immune system from refusing the organ---an ever-present risk.
But the victories of the transplant surgeons have created yet another problem: a serious shortage of donor organs. “ As the results get better, more people go on the waiting lists and there’s a wider gap between supply and need,” says one doctor. The American Council on Transplantation estimated that on any given day 15,000 Americans are waiting for organs. There is no shortage of actual organs; each year about 25,000 healthy people die unexpectedly in the United States, usually in accidents. The problem is that fewer than 20 percent become donors.
This situation continues despite laws designed to encourage organ recycling. Under the federal Uniform Anatomical Gift Act, a person can authorize the use of his organs after death by signing a statement. Legally, the family can veto these after-death gifts, but surveys indicate that 70 to 80 percent of the public world not interfere with a family member’s decision. The bigger roadblock, according to some experts, is that physicians don’t ask for donations, either because they fear making sad survivors angry or because they still regard some transplant operations as experimental
When there aren’t enough organs to go around, distributing the available ones becomes a matter of deciding who will live and who will die. Once donors and receivers have been matched for body size and blood type, the sickest patients customarily go to the top of the local waiting list. Beyond the seriousness of the patient’s condition, doctors base their choice on the length of time the patient has been waiting, how long it will take to get an organ and whether the transplant team can get ready in time.
71. Which of the following is true?
A. All the patients whom Dr. Starzl operated on died on the operating table.
B. To Dr. Starzl it was very discouraging that his first liver transplant failed.
C. Many doctors had performed organ transplant before Dr. Starzl.
D. Dr. Starzl didn’t give up even though he had failed in his attempts.
72. One factor causing death on organ transplantation is _____.
A. heavy bleeding during surgery
B. breakdown of patients’ immune system
C. patients’ refusal to taking organs of others
D. doctor’s lack of confidence
73. In the U.S. there is a long waiting list for organs because ______.
A. there is a shortage of experienced doctors
B. only a few people become organ donors
C. doctors have set a limit to the number of organ receivers
D. transplant surgery is still in the experimental stage
74. There would be many more organ donors if ______.
A. laws were designed to encourage organ recycling
B. people don’t legally prevent a family member from donating his organ
C. doctors were more willing to ask for donations
D. transplant surgery was more successful
75. The best title for this passage might be______.
A. Dr. Starzl and Transplant Surgeons
B. New Development in Transplant Surgery in the U.S.
C. The Future of Transplant Surgery
D. Success in Transplant Surgery and Shortage of Organs

书面表达
Dear Editor,
Recently our class has held a discussion about rewardful help between classmates and the majority have come to the conclusion that rewardful help is harmful in three points.
Firstly, rewardful help will make friendship between classmates disappear and bring an end to the tradition of classmates helping each other. What remains is nothing but monetary relationships between classmates. Secondly, it is difficult to develop working habits for those students who get into the habit of employing others to clean the blackboard, sweep the classroom or even do the homework for them. Lastly, rewardful help will turn some students into cool persons when they grow up, which will lead to morality crisis in society.
In a word, rewardful help is harmful to both students and society in our opinions. Yours truly, Liu Hong

Rats can use the rhythm of human language to tell the difference between Dutch and Japanese, researchers in Spain reported.
Their study suggests that animals, especially mammals, evolved some of the skills underlying the use and development of language long before language itself ever evolved, the researchers said.
It is the first time an animal other than a human or monkey has been shown to have this skill.
For their study neuroscientists(神经系统科学家) Juan Toro and colleagues at Barcelona’s Scientific Park tested 64 adult male rats.
They used Dutch and Japanese because these languages were used in earlier, similar tests, and because they are very different from one another inuse of words, rhythm and structure.
The rats were trained to respond to either Dutch or Japanese using food as a reward.
Then they were separated into four groups—one that heard each language spoken by a native, one that heard synthesized(综合)speech, one that heard sentences read in either language by different speakers and a fourth that heardthe languages played backwards.
Rats rewarded for responding to Japanese did not respond to Dutch and rats trained to recognize Dutch did not respond to the spoken Japanese .
The rats could not tell apart Japanese or Dutch played backwards.
“ Results showed that rats could recognize natural sentences when uttered by a single speaker and not when uttered by different ones, nor could they distinguish the languages when spoken by different people,” the researchers wrote.
Human newborns have the same problem, although tamarins(绢毛猴) can easily tell languages apart even when spoken by different people, the researchers said.
The study shows “ which abilities that humans use for language are shared with other animals, and which are uniquely human. It also suggests what sort of evolutionary precursors language might have.”
56. The author’s purpose in writing this article is to ______.
A. describe the difference between rats and human newborns
B. tell us rats can distinguish human language by using the rhythm of human language
C. give us some facts that rats are different from tamarins in some ways
D. list some languages which are used to tell the difference between an animal and a human
57. According to neuroscientists Juan Toro and colleagues’ test, if a rat was trained in Chinese, the rat could respond to ______.
A. Dutch B. Japanese
C. Chinese D. both Japanese and Dutch
58.Which of the following is one of the reasons why neuroscientists used Dutch and Japanese to test 64 adult male rats?
A.They were not used in earlier, similar tests.
B. They are very similar in use of words, rhythm and structure.
C. They are both simple and interesting.
D. They are very different in use of words, rhythm and structure.
59. According to the passage, tamarins ______human newborns at telling languages apart.
A. are better than B. are as good as
C. are worse than D. are as poor as
B
Tens of thousands of tsunami(海啸) survivors are at risk from diseases spread by dirty water, mosquitoes and crowding, and the best medicine is large quantities of clean water, officials of the World Health Organization said.
While no epidemics have been made sure in the vast coastal areas destroyed by the tsunamis, the officials said they were most worried about diarrhea diseases—cholera, typhoid fever and shigellosis—as well as liver diseases like hepatitis A and E. Those diseases are caused by bacteria or viruses in dirty drinking water or food, in sewage and among people who lack clean water to wash their hands.
Health organizations like the WHO and UNICEF recommend that each person be given about five gallons of clean water a day. Dr. David Nabarro, the director of crisis operations for the WHO, said in a telephone interview from its headquarters in Geneva that water shortages had already occurred in the Maldives and Sir Lanka, and that tanker trucks would be needed to provide clean water.
In addition, water-purifying tablets are being rushed into the affected countries, along with medicines to treat the dehydration that can result from diarrhea.
Another risk to drinking water is pollution of wells by salt water from the tsunamis. Martin Dawes, a regional spokesman for UNICEF in Colombo, Sir Lanka, estimated that 1,000 drinking-water wells in the country’s hard-hit eastern region had been contaminated and would have to be pumped out.
“ At the moment,” he said, “ the people don’t have the right kind of pumps to rescue the wells.” He added that his agency was seeking pumps or money to buy them.
Mr. Dawes said UNICEF had also bought about 20 million gallons of drinking water in 1,500-gallon barrels, enough for 100,000 people, and was expecting them to be delivered to the affected areas.
60. The underlined sentence in the first paragraph probably means that _______.
A. people drink clean water instead of having medicine in the vast coastal areas
B. clean water is most needed in the vast coastal areas destroyed by the tsunamis
C. medicine is more important than clean water in the vast coastal areas
D. medicine is as important as clean water in the vast coastal areas
61. The officials of the WHO were most worried about _______.
A. diarrhea diseases B. dirty food
C. mosquitoes D. crowding
62. Which of the following statement is TRUE?
A. The Maldives and Sir Lanka were not in need of clean water.
B. The people had the right kind of pumps to save the wells.
C. About 1,000 drinking-water wells in Sir Lanka were full of salt water.
D. About 20 million gallons of drinking water UNICEF had bought had been delivered to the affected areas.
63. What does the underlined word “ contaminated” in the fifth paragraph probably mean?
A. Destroyed badly B. Filled with sand
C. Become small D. Made dirty
C
Here are four pieces of news from China Daily.Russia
The first computer worm that can spread between cell phones has been developed. Russian experts say that the virus, called Cabir, has only been tested by researchers working in a laboratory.
It is believed that Cabir was created by an international group, which aims to show that no technology is reliable and safe from its attacks.
The experts are worried that other virus writers could use Cabir as a basis for a more dangerous worm.
Iraq
More than 100 people, including three US soldiers, were killed in bloody attacks in five Iraqi cities last Thursday. At least 300 people were wounded.
The violence was part of efforts made by Iraqi rebels and foreign militants to ruin the formal handover to Iraqi rule in six day's time. A group headed by al-Qaida-linked(和其地组织有关的)terrorist Abu Musab al-Zarqawi said they were responsible for the attacks.
Britain
A high school in southern England has become the first in the country to ban skirts. From December all girls at Kesgrave High School will have to wear trousers.
School chairwoman Margaret Young said the new uniform policy was being introduced because hemlines had risen to a level that had become impractical as well as immodest.
China
The giant panda habitat in Sichuan Province has increased 70 percent over the last two decades to more than 17,000 square kilometers, according to the latest provincial forestry department study. Sichuan has 1,204 wild giant pandas, or 80 percent of China’s total. The number of wild giant pandas in the province is up 30 percent from the 1980s.

Ida Tarbell was one of the first investigative reporters. She and other journalists wrote about the political, economic, and social wrongs in the early 1900’s, President Theodore Roosevelt gave these writers the name “ muckraker”. Ida Tarbell accepted the title as a mark of honor, for she thoroughly researched her subjects and carefully proved her findings.
After graduating from. Allegheny College, Ida Tarbell became head of a private school, where she also taught eight subjects. When her contract expired, she began writing magazine and newspaper articles and books. She wrote biographies of Manon Roland ( a leader of the French Revolution), Napoleon Bonaparte, and Abraham Lincoln. Her most famous work, however, was The history of the Standard Oil Company, an expose of the unlawful business practices of the oil industry.
When she began investigating the Standard Oil Company, she expected that her findings would fill about three articles. The first installment appeared in McChure’s Magazine in November 1902. By the time she had finished her investigation, she had written eighteen installments, the last of which appeared in October 1904.The articles were later combined into a two-volume book of 554 pages. Her research was thorough and her information accurate. She disclosed the company’s power and the ill practices it followed to achieve that power. Because of her findings, the movement to end the powerful monopolies was greatly strengthened. In 1911, the Supreme Court of the United States won its case to break the Standard Oil Company monopoly.
67. Judging from the context, the meaning of the underlined word in Paragraph 1 is “______”.

Dr. Thomas Starzl, like all the pioneers of organ transplantation, had to learn to live with failure. When he performed the world’s first liver transplant 25 years ago, the patient, a three-year-old boy, died on the operating table. The next four patients didn’t live long enough to get out of the hospital. But more determined than discouraged, Starzl and his colleagues went back to their lab at the University of Colorado Medical School. They created techniques to reduce the heavy bleeding during surgery, and they worked on better ways to prevent the patient’s immune system from refusing the organ---an ever-present risk.
But the victories of the transplant surgeons have created yet another problem: a serious shortage of donor organs. “ As the results get better, more people go on the waiting lists and there’s a wider gap between supply and need,” says one doctor. The American Council on Transplantation estimated that on any given day 15,000 Americans are waiting for organs. There is no shortage of actual organs; each year about 25,000 healthy people die unexpectedly in the United States, usually in accidents. The problem is that fewer than 20 percent become donors.
This situation continues despite laws designed to encourage organ recycling. Under the federal Uniform Anatomical Gift Act, a person can authorize the use of his organs after death by signing a statement. Legally, the family can veto these after-death gifts, but surveys indicate that 70 to 80 percent of the public world not interfere with a family member’s decision. The bigger roadblock, according to some experts, is that physicians don’t ask for donations, either because they fear making sad survivors angry or because they still regard some transplant operations as experimental
When there aren’t enough organs to go around, distributing the available ones becomes a matter of deciding who will live and who will die. Once donors and receivers have been matched for body size and blood type, the sickest patients customarily go to the top of the local waiting list. Beyond the seriousness of the patient’s condition, doctors base their choice on the length of time the patient has been waiting, how long it will take to get an organ and whether the transplant team can get ready in time.
71. Which of the following is true?
A. All the patients whom Dr. Starzl operated on died on the operating table.
B. To Dr. Starzl it was very discouraging that his first liver transplant failed.
C. Many doctors had performed organ transplant before Dr. Starzl.
D. Dr. Starzl didn’t give up even though he had failed in his attempts.
72. One factor causing death on organ transplantation is _____.
A. heavy bleeding during surgery
B. breakdown of patients’ immune system
C. patients’ refusal to taking organs of others
D. doctor’s lack of confidence
73. In the U.S. there is a long waiting list for organs because ______.
A. there is a shortage of experienced doctors
B. only a few people become organ donors
C. doctors have set a limit to the number of organ receivers
D. transplant surgery is still in the experimental stage
74. There would be many more organ donors if ______.
A. laws were designed to encourage organ recycling
B. people don’t legally prevent a family member from donating his organ
C. doctors were more willing to ask for donations
D. transplant surgery was more successful
75. The best title for this passage might be______.
A. Dr. Starzl and Transplant Surgeons
B. New Development in Transplant Surgery in the U.S.
C. The Future of Transplant Surgery
D. Success in Transplant Surgery and Shortage of Organs

书面表达
Dear Editor,
Recently our class has held a discussion about rewardful help between classmates and the majority have come to the conclusion that rewardful help is harmful in three points.
Firstly, rewardful help will make friendship between classmates disappear and bring an end to the tradition of classmates helping each other. What remains is nothing but monetary relationships between classmates. Secondly, it is difficult to develop working habits for those students who get into the habit of employing others to clean the blackboard, sweep the classroom or even do the homework for them. Lastly, rewardful help will turn some students into cool persons when they grow up, which will lead to morality crisis in society.
In a word, rewardful help is harmful to both students and society in our opinions. Yours truly, Liu Hong
