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 nac2ed atLaura Cuaya,a brain researcher at the Neuroethology 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一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 for 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.” 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.,n6And while this work relied on brain imaging,“ Mallikaijun said, "it would be worth investigating whether dogs could differentiate between languages in behavioural studies, too.”4. What does the underlined phrase “nagged at“ probably mean in paragraph 1?A. Astonished.B. Troubled.5 . Cuaya's study focused on whether dogs canA tell different languages apart C. understand the Little Prince6 What do we know about the study?C. Benefited.D. Dominated.B. adapt to a new environmentD. make sense of Spanish and HungarianA. 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. The dogs must keep moving during the study.7. 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 are less likely to understand a familiar language.D. 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 are 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 cases, 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 million yuan 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 efforts 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 for international cooperation to recover the relics by working closely with several international organizations.8. 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.D. Chinese cultural relics were stolen by the Anglo-French Allied Army.9. 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.10. What does the underlined word "feasible“ in Paragraph 5 mean?A. Possible.B. Difficult.C. Wonderful.D. Careful.11. 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 for 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 for 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 for dramatic autumndisplays.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. "My observations in the last decade have had more years that were later than what we consider historical averages. It can be a trend as the planet warms J said the expert Jim Salge.It's not just the plants that suffer. "Turning leaves offer an irresistible mass of color which, by estimate, brings in as much as billions of dollars a year in tourism in New England J said Andy Finton, a forest ecologist.That's another good reason to focus on preserving forests. Leaf peeping can stay part of the area's feature if forests are given enough protection. "If we can keep them unharmed, they'll provide things we've depended on, as well as fall inspiration J said Finton.12. What is special about the leaves in Maine this year?A. They take on warm colors.C. They stay green longer.13. 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 totally miss the fall color turn.B. Explanation of leaves changing color.D. Effect of climate change on fall leaves.14. What is the “trend“ according to Jim Salge in paragraph 3?A. The earth gets drier.C. The earth gets warmer.15. What's the purpose of this text?A. To introduce leaf peeping.C. To call on people to admire fall leaves.B. The temperature gets higher.D. The leaves delay color change.C. To repor
