13.You know that squeak(吱吱声) you hear from your pet mouse or the pest mouse?It turns out that it is not really a squeak,but a sweet song by male mice to attract females.This is the conclusion reached by biologist Dustin Penn and his team at the Veterinary University of Vienna.The scientists who have been conducting a series of studies on house mice for a number of years,began by recording the high-pitched(声调高的) sounds male mice made the moment they sensed a female mouse around.What they discovered when they played them back to females was that the ladies could tell between those made by their brothers and the ones made by unrelated males.Just like human,they tended to ignore the ones made by their brothers.
The researchers then took the experiment one step further and analyzed the squeaks.To their surprise they discovered that while the squeaks sounded similar,they each had a different"tune".The biggest surprise of all was that the mice could even learn tunes from each other.
However,not all scientists agree with this finding.Some like Kurt Hammer,a scientist at the German Primate Center believe that the test sample was too small to make such a conclusion.
The researcher's next plan to test if the females care about the quality of the"song".In some bird species,males that can sing the most complex tunes seem to get the most attention.
So why do we care whether mice can sing or not?Clearly,since they are being used as laboratory testers,it will help us make advances in human speech disorders like the ones found in people suffering from autism(自闭症).
29.According to Dustin Pen,the squeak made by a male mouse isD.
A.a hungry signal
B.a sad cry
C.a terrible noise
D.a pleasant sound
30.The underlined word"them"in Paragraph 2 refers toC.
A.the male mice
B.the female mice
C.the squeaks made by the male mice
D.the squeaks made by the female mice
31.What might be Kurt Hammer's idea?A
A.More studies should be made.
B.Mice are intelligent animals.
C.the conclusion is reasonable.
D.Mice shouldn't be studied.
32.One benefit of the study on mice squeaks is that it canC.
A.find ways to kill mice
B.inspire musicians with their work
C.help treat human speech disorders
D.find ways to select intelligent mice.
分析 本文属于说明文阅读,作者通过这篇文章主要向我们描述了一项关于动物的声音中包含的语言的研究,这项研究可以用来帮助人们治疗人类的语言紊乱的问题.
解答 29.D.细节理解题.根据第一段中的but a sweet song sung by male mice to attract females 可知,雄鼠发出的是愉悦的声音;故选D.
30.C.词义猜测题. 根据第二段中的 recording the high-pitched sounds male mice made 可以推知,该词指代上文提到的雄鼠发出的声音;故选C.
31.A.细节理解题.根据第四段中的 the test sample was too small to make such a conclusion 可知,Kurt hammer 认为得出这个结论的依据并不充分,人们需要进行更多的研究;故选A.
32.C.推理判断题.根据最后一段中的since they are being used as laboratory testers,it will help us make advances in human speech disorders like the ones found in people suffering from autism可以推知,这项研究可以用来帮助人们治疗人类的语言紊乱的问题;故选C.
点评 考察学生的细节理解和推理判断能力,做细节理解题时一定要找到文章中的原句,和题干进行比较,再做出正确的选择.在做推理判断题不要以个人的主观想象代替文章的事实,要根据文章事实进行合乎逻辑的推理判断.
