It is a shame that I find all pandas look the same, with black eyes and white fur. It does not matter as all the pandas are cute to me, he said.Yet, identifying one panda fr

25、om another does matter to researchers, according to Zhang Zhihe, chief of the Chengdu panda research base.Identifying individual pandas is important fbr conservation （保护）management and research. For captive （圈养的）pandas, it is important for their daily feeding schedules, family background and data ma

26、nagement. For wild pandas，it helps researchers study their population structure and provides scientific support for their protection and management, he said.China has carried out four scientific surveys on wild pandas, and now has a big databank about them. The number of wild pandas in China is most

27、ly known. However, it is still difficult to determine the age, sex, health and other specific information about the population.“It is difficult to track and watch the structure because wild pandas tend to live alone, deep in the mountains, and their living environment is vast JZhang added.In 2017, t

28、he Chengdu base began researching individual panda identification technology by analyzing images. Over the past two years, they have built a databank of more than 120,000 images, over 10,00 video clips, and completed organizing nearly 10,000 images.Using the databank, researchers have started a faci

33、their culture. Music is so common and widespread that most people dont even question it anymore. But until recently, there were researchers who doubted it: How could we know that music was really a part of all known societies?Now, Harvard researchers, Samuer Mehr and Manvir Singh, have found further

34、 evidence to support the argument. They gathered music from different countries, media and time periods, and collected descriptions of many different pieces of music. Rather than focusing on music first and then looking at where it could be found, they started by studying a record of detailed descri

35、ptions of more than three hundred known global societies, and found that all of them have music as part of their culture.To see if people could recognize the functions of songs from around the world, the researchers also created a listening experiment in which people tried to guess the behavioral co

36、ntext（彳亍为环境）of a song. This went surprisingly well. Particularly music that was intended for dancing or to calm a baby were easy to recognize as either dance music or lullabies. Love songs were a bit more difficult to qualify, because they tend to be very diverse even within cultures.This systematic

37、 study of connections sounds like the way that researchers in other fields would study biological patterns. “Theres a field known as cultural phylogenetics（文化系统发 生学）J says Singh. Whereas biological characteristics are only received from parent to child, cultural characteristics （like music） are also

38、 shared between people of the same generation. That makes it much more difficult to figure out where the characteristic has come from.“Finally,“ Singh says, “We still dont know why music developed gradually. Our study shows that humans everywhere share cognitive mechanisms （认矢口机制）that make certain s

39、ounds seem appropriate in particular contexts.”What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 1 refer to?A. The fact that music is part of every culture.B. The question whether music is widely spread.C. The doubt whether further research has been done.D. The idea that Africa and the Arctic have coo

40、l music.32. What did Mehr and Singh do first?A. They found out further evidence.B. They studied various societies.C. They sought the origins of music.D. They focused mainly on music.33. Whats the purpose of the listening experiment?A. To comfort a baby.B. To pick out love songs.C. To create a contex

41、t.D. To tell functions of songs.34. . What is the main idea of the text?A. Music shapes societies in different cultures.B. Global music shares common characteristics.C. Musical systems display cultural differences.D. Multi-culture is based on biological patterns.第二节七选五（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
