Besides the geographical and cultural changes, you will find a key difference will be the language. But will your pets notice the difference? It was a question that nagged at Laura Cuaya, a brain researcher at the Ncurocthology of Communication Lab at Eotvos Lorand University in Budapest.Cuaya set out to find the answer. She and her colleagues designed an experiment with 18 volunteer dogs including her two Border Collies, Kun Kun and Odin to see if they could differentiate（区分）between two languages. Kun Kun and Odin were used to hearing Spanish; the other dogs Hungarian. The dogs sat still within an MRI machine, while listening to an adaptation from the story The Little Prince. They heard one version in Spanish, and another in Hungarian.Then the scientists analyzed the dogs' brain activity and they found a different activity pattern fbr one language versus（与相比）the other. Andies, who leads the lab where the study took place, said, “The findingsuggests that dogs, brain can differentiate between these two languages. In terms of brain imaging studies, this study is the very first one which showed that a non-human species brain can discriminate between languages. v They also found that older dogs brains' showed bigger differences in brain activity between the two languages, perhaps because older dogs have more experience listening to human language.Amritha Mallikaijun, who wasn't involved in this study but has been working on similar research about dogs and language, said, “It is a very exciting study because it shows that the ability to grasp the sounds and rhythms of a familiar language is something accessible to non-humans.” "And while this work relied on brain imaging,“ Mallikaijun said, “it would be worth investigating whether dogs could differentiate between languages in behavioural studies, too.24、What does the underlined phrase “nagged at“ probably mean in paragraph 1?A.Astonished.B.Troubled.C.Benefited.D.Dominated.25、Cuaya,s study focused on whether dogs canA.tcll different languages apartB.adapt to a new environmentC.understand the Little PrinceD.make sense of Spanish and Hungarian26、What do we know about the study?A.Researchers tested the dogs in random order.B.It is a breakthrough on non-human brain imaging.C.Diverse methods were adopted during the study.D.Thc dogs must keep moving during the study.27、What can we infer from what Amritha Mallikaijun said?A.Previous work has met many kinds of limitations.B.Brain imaging studies are likely to be very successful.C.Non-humans arc less likely to understand a familiar language.0.Behavioural studies on dogs will be a new research in the future.CMore than 10 million Chinese cultural relics have been lost overseas, lots of which were stolen and illegally shipped out of China during the times of war before 1949. About 1.67 million pieces are housed in no more than 200 museums in 47 countries, which accounts fbr 10 percent of all lost Chinese cultural relics, and the rest are in the hands of private collectors.Most of these treasures arc owned by museums or private collectors in the United States, Europe, Japan and Southeast Asian countries. There are more than 23,000 pieces in the British Museum, most of which were stolen or bought fbr pennies more than 100 years ago.The major method to recover these national treasures was to buy them back. In some eases, private collectors donated the relics to the government. Also, the government can turn to official channels to demand the return of relics.In 2003, a priceless bronze pig's head dating from the Qing Dynasty was returned to its home in Beijing after it was removed by the Anglo-French Allied Army over 140 years ago. Macao entrepreneur Stanley Ho donated 6 millionyi/tz/7 to buy it back from a US art collector and then donated it to the Poly Art Museum in Beijing.Although buying-back is the most feasible way to recover the lost treasures, limited funding is always a big headache.In recent years, the Chinese government has improved eHorts to recover the precious cultural relics lost overseas. It has started a national project on the recovery of the treasures and has set up a database （数据库） collecting relevant information. It has signed several international agreements with many countries on this matter, and is also looking fbr international cooperation to recover the relics by working closely with several international organizations.28 What is the passage mainly about?A.The best way to recover cultural relics.B.The efforts to recover Chinese cultural relics.C.Stanley Ho donated a bronze pig's head to Beijing.Chinese cultural relics were stolen by the Anglo-French Allied Army.29、What we can know about the bronze pig's head?A.It was made in the Ming Dynasty.B.It is now in the Poly Art museum in Beijing.C.It was donated by the French government to China.D.It was removed by the Anglo-French Allied Army over 150 years ago.30、What does the underlined word ttfeasible in Paragraph 5 mean?A.Possible.B.Difficult.C.WondcrfiiLD.CarcfuL31、What can we infer from the last paragraph?A.China has enough money to buy all the cultural relics back.B.Many countries have returned the lost cultural relics to China fbr free.C.The Chinese government has done a lot to recover the lost cultural relics.D.China is preparing to set up a database to collect information about the lost cultural relics.DLeaf peeping, the practice of traveling to watch nature display the fall colors, is a beloved annual activity, especially in New England. Typically, by the end of September, leaves take on warmer colors throughout the U.S. But this year, many areas haven't even shaken off the green shades of summer. In Maine, forest rangers reported less than 70% color change and modest leaf drop.It's commonly believed that trees, like people, must prepare fbr winter. When fall arrives, and day length and temperature drop, trees respond by ending green substance production and absorbing remaining nutrients, causing leaves to lose the original color. Greens give way to yellows, reds and oranges that make fbr splendid autumn displays.Warm fall temperatures can make the fall colors appear later. Worse, dry summers can cause leaves to miss the fall color turn altogether. Delay of the start of the fall colors, which has been moving later into the fall, could continue. uMy obsen ations in the last decade have had more years that were later than what vve consider historical averages. It can be a trend as the planet warms,said the expert Jim Salge.It's not just the plants that suffer. 4kTuming leaves offer an irresistible mass of color which, by estimate（估计）, brings in as much as billions of dollars a year in tourism in New England,said Andy Finton, a forest ecologist. That's another good reason to fbcus on preserving forests. Leaf peeping can stay part of the area's feature if forests are given enough protection. tIf we can keep them unharmed, they UI provide things we've depended on, as well as fall inspiration/, said Finton.32、What is special about the leaves in Maine this year?A. They take on warm colors.C. They totally miss the fall color turn.33、What is paragraph 2 mainly about?A. Ways of trees surviving winter.C. Functions of the green substance.B. They drop earlier than normal.D. They stay green longer.B. Explanation of leaves changing color.D. Efleet of climate change on fall leaves.34、What is the “trend” according to Jim Salge in paragraph 3?A. The earth gets drier.C. The earth gets wanner.35、Whafs the purpose of this text?A. To introduce leaf peeping.C. To warn people to take care of forests.B. The temperature gets higher.D. The leaves delay color change.B. To report the right time fbr leaf peeping.D. To call on people to admire fall leaves.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处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。A WeChat mini-program for the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympic Games was officially launched on July 2.36 And it will also change their low-carbon behaviors such as walking, bike riding, as well as bus andsubway taking, into "carbon points" in their accounts, which can be exchanged for some awards.37_ For example, a user can get 0.02 carbon points per step, up to 200 points per day, 174 points for participating in the "clear your plate" campaign each time, and 209 points fbr taking a bus. Quantifying（量化） low-carbon activities with carbon points enables the public to gradually develop a green and low-carbon lifestyle.38_To actively respond to the global climate change, reducing carbon emission and achieving carbon neutrality（碳 中和）has become a must in major international sports events. _39The Beijing 2022 Winter Olympic Gamesmade an even bolder move by launching a nationwide low-carbon campaign and developing a mini-program fbr the public to help reduce carbon emission.The Beijing 2022 has always remained committed to being green, low-carbon and sustainable, from its bidding to preparation.40_ All venues are constructed under the national green building standards.A.It will be popular among many international experts.B.It will open an individual carbon account fbr each user.C.Morc importantly, it contributes to a greener sport event.D.Different amounts of carbon points are based on how low-carbon the activities arc.E.It has continuously made breakthroughs in low-carbon energy, venues, and transportation.
