Listening to Birdsong
A male zebra finch chirps away to himself. Suddenly he notices a female bird nearby.He realizes he has an audience and immediately changes his song. Can the female tell the difference in his perfonnance?According to a new study,the female zebra finch knows.And she prefers the special trills he creates when he sings to her. A male zebra finch changes his song when singing to a female in ways that people can barely detect.But the female finch can tell the difference.
Scientists had noticed slight variations in the songs of male zebra finches based on whether they were singing alone or whether there was a female(and potential mate)nearby.With an audience,the males sped up the pace of their songs and controlled the notes they used.
For this study,researchers Sarah C .Woolley and Allison Doupe at the University of California,San Francisco decided to focus attention on the listening females,which have not been well studied in the past.
In the study,Woolley and Doupe set up,a long cage with a sound speaker at each end.One broadcast the sound of a male zebra finch singing to himself,like someone singing in the shower.The other speaker broadcast a male performing for a female audience,as if he was giving a concert.
Female birds were placed between the two speakers.Some of the birds had mates.Others didn't. The females shifted around a bit,and then most of them hopped over to sit beside just one speaker. All the birds that made a clear choice liked songs meant for a female audience,even if they'd never met the male.
Mated females also had a chance to listen to two different performance songs,one from an unknown male,and one from their mate .They spent more time listening to the concert version of their mates' songs.This suggests that after a while,females learn to recognize-and prefer-the songs of their mates.
Scientists then studied the brains of the females.They found certain areas of the brain perked up when the birds listened to the concert songs.These brain areas may be involved in recognizing and evaluating the songs,and storing the memories of them.
This research deals with what's called directed communication,when the communicator,or sender,focuses the message for a specific audience.One example is the way moms speak to their babies. Mothers around the world use the same sort of high-pitched sing-song chatter,and the babies respond best to those sounds.Songbirds are one of the only other species known to learn their communication,in this case their songs.

参考答案
参考解析
解析：根据文中第一段第二、三句“Suddenly he notices a female bird nearby.He realizes he has an audien。e and immediately。hanges his song.”可知，雄性斑胸草雀当看到有雌性草雀在场时，会改变唱歌的声调，所以C项正确。本段未提及雄性斑胸草雀在雌性在场时，声调会变高，所以B项错误。本段未提及雌性草雀唱歌的问题，所以D项错误。A 项的说法过于模糊。故本题选C。
根据文章第五段最后一句“All the hirds that made a clear choice liked songs meant for a female audience”可知，所有的雌雀都明确选择了为雌雀而唱的表演性的歌曲，所以A 项正确，C项错误。根据第六段最后一句females learn to recognize-and prefer-the songs of their mates可知有配偶的雌雀更喜欢听其配偶唱的歌，所以B项错误。而D项的内容文章并未提及。故本题选A。
根据第四段最后一句“The other speaker broadcast a male performing for a female audi-ence,as if he was giving a concert”可知，雄雀为雌雀唱歌像是它在开音乐会似的，所以B 项正确。故本题选B。
根据文章最后一段第一句“...directed communication,when the communicator or sender,focuses the message for a specific audience”可知定向交流中，信息发送者所发送的信息传达给特定的听众，故A项正确，D项错误。本段第二句“One example is the way moms speak to their bahies”举出一个妈妈与婴儿说话的例子来说明定向交流，所以C项正确。文章中叙述了科学家研究发现雄性斑胸草雀特别为雌雀唱歌，最后科学家们指出这是一种定向交流，所以B项正确。故本题选D。
文章中，科学家们研究发现雄性斑胸草雀在为雌性斑胸草雀唱歌时，会改变声调和速度，而它们的歌声实际上是一种交流方式。所以本题选B。

Passage FourMany people want to know how to analyze problems they meet. There are six stages in analyzing a problem.First the person must recognize that there is a problem. For example, Sam's bicycle is broken, and he cannot ride it to class as he usually does. Sam must see that there is a problem with his bicycle.Next the thinker must define the problem. Before Sam can repair his bicycle, he must find the reason why it does not work. For instance, he must determine if the problem is with the gears, the brakes, or the frame. He must make his problem more specific.Now the person must look for information that will make the problem clearer and lead to possible solutions. For instance, suppose Sam decided that his bike does not work because there is something wrong with the gear wheels. At this time, he can look in his bicycle repair book and read about gears. He can talk to his friends at the bike shop.After studying the problem, the person should have several suggestions for a possible solution. Take Sam as an illustration. His suggestions might be: put oil on the gear wheels; buy new gear wheels and replace the old ones; tighten or loosen the gear wheels.Eventually one suggestion seems to be the solution to the problem. Sometimes the final idea comes very suddenly because the thinker suddenly sees something new or sees something in a new way. Sam, for example, suddenly sees that there is a piece of chewing gum between the gear wheels. He immediately realizes the solution to his problem: he must clean the gear wheels.Finally the solution is tested. Sam cleans the gear wheels and finds that afterwards his bicycle worksperfectly. In short, he has solved the problem.48. In analyzing a problem we should do all the following except ______.A. recognize and define the problemB. look for information to make the problem clearerC. have suggestions for a possible solutionD. find a solution by trial or mistake

When we talk about intelligence we do not mean the ability to get good scores on certain kinds of tests or even the ability to do well in school. By intelligence we mean a way of living and behaving, especially in a new situation. If we want to test intelligence, we need to find out how a person acts instead of how much he knows to do.For example, when in a new situation, an intelligent person thinks about the situation, not about himself or what might happen to him. He tries to find out all he can do, and then he acts immediately and tries to do something about it. He probably isn’t sure how it all works out, but at least he tries. And if he cannot make things work out right, he doesn’t feel ashamed that he failed, he just tries to learn from his mistakes. An intelligent person, even if he is very young, has a special outlook in life, a special feeling about life, and a special way of how he fits into it.If you look at children, you’ll see a great difference between what we call ”bright” children and “not bright” children. They are actually two different kinds of people, not just the same kind with different amounts of intelligence. For example, the bright child really wants to find out about life—he tries to get in touch with everything around him. But the unintelligent child keeps more to himself and his own dream world; he seems to have a wall between him and life in general1、According to this passage, intelligence is the ability to______.A、work by oneself do well in anyB、situationC、know what is right and wrongD、adapt oneself to a new situation2、In a new situation, an intelligent person ____________.A、knows more about what might happen to himB、is well-prepared for his actionC、pays greater attention to the situationD、completely ignores himself3、If an intelligent person failed, he would ________A、feel ashamed about the failureB、learn from his experiencesC、find out what he can’t doD、make sure what’s wrong withhis outlook in life4、An intelligent child ________A、learns more about himselfB、shows interest in things around himC、studies everything that may be interestingD、looks down upon unintelligent children5、Why does an unintelligent child seem to have a wall between him and life in general?A、Because he can hardly see the outside world.B、Because life is far away from him.C、Because he knows nothing about life in general.D、Because he has little interest in things around himself.

To be a good teacher, you need some of the gifts of a good actor; you must be able to hold the attention and interest of your students; you must be a clear speaker, with a good, strong, pleasing voice which is fully under you control; and you must be able to act what you are teaching, in order to make its meaning clear. Watch a good teacher, and you will see that he does not move motionless before his class; he stands the whole time he is teaching; he walks about, using his arms, hands and fingers to help him in his explanation, and his face to express his feeling. Listen to him, and you will hear the loudness, the quality and musical note of his voice always changing according to what he is talking about. The fact that a good teacher has some of the gifts of a good actor doesn't mean he will indeed be able to act well on the stage, for there are very important differences between the teacher's word and the actor's. The actor has to speak words which has been learnt by heart, he has1、A good teacher ______.A、knows how to hold the interest of his studentsB、must have a good voiceC、knows how to act on the stageD、stands or sits motionless while teaching2、In what way is a teacher''s work different from an actor''s?

The Fat Problem That Men FaceIt is a pleasure to see men of a certain age worrying about their weight.Listening to them is not such a pleasure.Because the men are new at the game,they don't hesitate to discuss the fat problem incessantly. However,women of the same age do not discuss the fat problem,especially not in mixed company.They prefer to face the problem with quiet dignity.Discussing the problem might only draw attention to some stray body part that may be successfully tucked away under an article of clothing.The age at which a man begins to explore the fat problem can vary.The actual problem can manifest itself in the early 30's,but broad-range discussion usually starts later.There are early nonverbal symptoms. I've watched the rugged journalist who shares my apartment sneak by with a Diet Coke.His shirts are no longer neatly tucked in to display a trim waist.Recently he has begun to verbalize his anxiety.He tells me, with a sheepish grin,that he is taking his suits to Chinatown to have them"tailored".Still older men have lost their dignity and rattle on unabashedly.Often wives and children play important roles in their fat-inspection rituals.Take my oldest brother,a former college football player,as an example.His daughter says that several times a day he will stand at attention and call out,"Fat,medium or thin?" She knows the correct answer:medium.Thin would be an obvious stretch,and fat may not get her that new video.According to his wife,he stands in front of the mirror in the morning(before the day's meals take their toll),puts his hands be- hind his head and lurches into a side bend,then clutches the roll that has developed and says,"Am I getting fat- ter?"His wife is expected to answer,"You look like you may have lost a few pounds."And then there are the ex-husbands a pitiful group.They are extremely vocal.When I go to the movies with one,he confides that he is suffering from great hunger because he is dieting.He hasn't eaten since the pancakes and sausages he wolfed down that morning.He pauses in his monologue while he buys his popcorn. After the movie,we sprint to a restaurant,where he again pauses to devour a basket of bread.Before he orders his chaste salad and soup,he grows plaintive.Do I think he's fat?My oldest brother's daughter would not tell her father he is fat because she loves him so much that she cannot bear to upset him.A:Right B:Wrong C:Not mentioned

People do not analyze every problem theymeet. Sometimes they try to remember a solution from the last time they had asimilar problem. They often accept the opinions or ideas of other people. Othertimes they begin to act without thinking; they try to find a solution by trialand error. However, when all these methods fail, the person with a problem hasto start analyzing. There are six stages in analyzing a problem.
First the person must recognize that thereis a problem. For example, Sam′s bicycle is broken, and he cannot ride it toclass as he usually does. Sam must see that there is a problem with hisbicycle.
Next the thinker must define the problem.Before Sam can repair his bicycle, he must find out the reason why it does notwork. For instance, he must determine if the problem is with the gears, thebrakes, or the frame. He must make his problem more specific.
Now the person must look for informationthat will make the problem clearer and lead to possible solutions. Forinstance, suppose Sam decided that his bike does not work because there is somethingwrong with the gear wheels. At this time, he can look in his bicycle repairbook and read about gears. He can talk to his friends at the bike shop. He canlook at his gears carefully.
After studying the problem, the personshould have several suggestions for a possible solution. Take Sam as anillustration. His suggestions might be: put oil on the gear wheels; buy newgear wheels and replace the old ones; tighten or loosen the gear wheels.Eventually one suggestion seems to be the solution to the problem. Sometimesthe final idea comes very suddenly because the thinker suddenly sees somethingnew or sees something in a new way. Sam, for example, suddenly sees that thereis a piece of chewing gum between the gear wheels. He immediately realizes thesolution to his problem: he must clean the gear wheels.
Finally the solution is tested. Sam cleansthe gear wheels and finds that afterwards his bicycle works perfectly. Inshort, he has solved the problem.
The author intends to say that Samsolved his problem as a result of___________.A.discovering something new
B.using chewing gum
C.looking at the bicycle in the new way
