time,though,scientists have not fully understood how that change happened.A new study may cast light onthe answer.A team of researchers found that birds evolved(进化)to fly due to changes in the part of the braincalled the cerebellum(小脑),which is responsible for motor control and physical movement.For the study,scientists from Stony Brook University in New York and Johns Hopkins School of Medicine inMaryland compared PET scans(层析扫描)of pigeons to dinosaur fossils(化石).Unlike an X-ray,which shows thebodys structure,PET scans create images of the body at work.With the PET scans,the team tracked the brainactivity of modern pigeons to see whether it was different when the birds were at rest and right after they flew for10 minutes.They scanned eight birds and looked at 26 parts of the brain.Only the cerebellum showed significantchanges in activity levels before and after flying for all the birds.These findings indicated that the ability to fly is connected to the cerebellum.To determine exactly how,theresearch team needed to figure out what the cerebellum looked like in creatures that were alive around the timebirds began to fly.They studied a group of bird-like dinosaurs,including a winged species called Archaeopteryx,which had started to develop the brain conditions needed for flight.The researchers couldnt look at the actual brains because those disappeared long ago.But they could look atthe dinosaursskulls(颅骨),which once held the brains and have been found in fossil form.The researchers studiedthe inside of the skulls,which showed the size and shape of the creaturesbrains.In the dinosaurs that were developing the ability to fly,the team saw a significant increase in the size of thecerebellum.They also noted signs of increased brain complexity,like folds in the brain tissue.These findingsconfirmed a connection between flying and changes to the cerebellum.28.What might the new study reveal in paragraph 1?A.What transformed birdsbrains.B.How brain controls body movement.C.What made birds evolve to fly.D.How birds influenced animal history.29.What can we conclude from the PET scans?A.The body structure of birds has evolved a lot.B.26 parts of the brain displayed signs of change.C.Brain activity remained unchanged throughout.D.The cerebellum holds the key to birdsflying ability.30.How did the scientists confirm the connection?A.By unearthing more brain fossils.B.By scanning brains ofArchaeopteryx.C.By studying structures of winged species.D.By comparing sizes and shapes of brains.31.Which would be the best title for the text?A.Bird brains came before birdsB.Archaeopteryx,the first flying dinosaurC.PET scans reveal birdssecretsD.Cerebellum,the key to animal evolutionDPassive-aggressive(消极抗拒)behaviour can feel“normal”especially if its how weve grown up seeingothers around us deal with relationship issues.Whether done verbally(言语上)or nonverbally,passive aggressionis meant to avoid hurting someone elses feelings,escape conflict,or show disagreement without being outspokenin it.Its a more common way of dealing with things than you might think.But why are we passive-aggressive?What are the signs we can look out for to recognize being passive-aggressive?And how does it affect us?There are many reasons why someone might display passive-aggressive behaviour,including insecurity or fear学科网（北京）股份有限公司5of losing control,as well as using it as a way to handle feelings of stress,anxiety,or depression.It can also be away to try to deal with rejection or conflict,because of feelings of under-appreciation,or due to worry that anynatural feelings of anger arent the right response,and so it becomes an attempt to sugarcoat things.We almost all exhibit signs of passive aggression from time to time,but when it becomes a habit within ourrelationships,it can become upsetting for the other person involved,causing a divide.And for the person exhibitingthis behaviour,their inability to say what is wrong clearly can often worsen the issue as it isnt being dealt withdirectly.Ultimately,passive aggression prevents change and growth,leading to more negative behaviour,thebreakdown of trust,and further relationship problems.Admitting that you have a problem and need to change is not just good for your relationship,but also a hugehelp in your life.If youre struggling and arent sure where to begin,ask yourself“Could I unintentionally(orintentionally)be hurting my relationship?Is it worth saving my relationship,or do I want to risk things gettingworse?Would I be happy if my partner acted the way Ive been acting?”Change doesnt happen overnight,but,with time and effort,you can find new,healthier ways ofcommunicating how you are feeling,and start to strengthen the bonds within your relationship.32.What is the possible passive-aggressive response to displeasure?A.Turning to rude languages.B.Displaying violent behavior.C.Hiding his true inner feelings.D.Coming into conflict with others.33.What can we learn about passive-aggressive people?A.They are sometimes overconfident in themselves.B.They believe conflicts should be resolved directly.C.Their passive-aggressive behavior doesnt last long.D.Their behaviour likely leads to more negative results.34.What do the underlined words“the issue”in paragraph 4 refer to?A.The behavior.B.The divide.C.The inability.D.The habit.35.What should you do to make a change?A.Start with a self-reflection.B.Apologize to the other side.C.Copy how the partner acts.D.Let time cure everything.第二节(共 5 小题；每小题 2.5 分，满分
