19、a radiology major. Midway through his career, Nickenson switched to Health Services Administration after realizing hed prefer the medical field. But the career change came with stress: “I spent entire nights awake studying and doing homework. Id consistently go to bed at 2 or 3 a.m., only to wake up

20、 early the next day and start over.” The hard work eventually paid off as Nickenson graduated from FNU with his Bachelors Degree in 2015.When asked about his experience and impression of his time at FNU, he said: “I truly loved FNU. It was a great experience. I always felt at home and part of a fami

I ll always recommend FNU to anyone looking for a great education, regardless of they want to study.” Nick

22、ensons journey was just beginning, taking a long road that led him across the country searching for the perfect career. It started here in South Florida, serving as an intern (实习医生) at Aventura Hospital. When that didnt lead to a long-term option, he moved to Las Vegas for a short amount of time, on

27、 pays to put theory into practice.C. Smooth seas do not make skillful sailors.D. Actions speak louder than words.CBy now, its no secret that the phrase “bird brain” should be a compliment, not an insult (侮辱). Some birds are capable of complex cognitive (认知的) tasks, including tool use. Among the brai

28、niest achievements that birds are capable of is vocal (声音的) learning, or the ability to learn to imitate sounds and use them to communicate. In birds, this leads to beautiful calls and songs; in humans, it leads to language. The best flying vocal learners such as parrots also tend to be considered t

29、he most intelligent birds. So its natural to think that the two characteristics could be linked.To test whether there is such a link, biologist Jean-Nicolas Audet and his team conducted a massive analysis of 214 birds from 23 species. The researchers developed cognitive tests that could be adapted f

30、or different birds. They ultimately presented birds with seven cognitive tasks over six days. Four of the tasks tested problem-solving ability. The team then analyzed whether the bird species with more complex vocal learning abilities also performed better on their intelligence tests.Problem-solving

31、, but not learning or self-control, is strongly associated with more complex vocal learning in birds, the researchers found. “The more advanced vocal learning ability, the more advanced problem-solving skills,” says study co-author Erich Jarvis. Take the tufted titmouse (凤头山雀) for example. This spec

32、ies learns around 63 vocalizations and can learn throughout its life. It completed the problem-solving tasks faster than the brown-headed cowbird, which learns only about nine vocalizations within a set developmental window.The researchers next hope to search for the genes determining the linked cha

33、racteristics. That work could further scientists understanding of how human language evolved. “There is a chance that we will discover genes related to problem-solving and vocal learning that are possibly also used in humans for those same behaviors,” Audet says.28. What does the underlined word “co

34、mpliment” in paragraph 1 mean?A. Praise.B. Joke.C. Fact. D. Reminder.29. What did Jean-Nicolas Audets team intend to study?A. The impact of problem-solving tasks on bird cognition.B. The effectiveness of cognitive tests in the study of birdsC. The relation between vocal learning and bird intelligenc

35、e.D. The connection between sound imitation and communication.30. What does the example of the tufted titmouse tell us about birds with more complex vocal learning?A. They are likely to have weaker self-control.B. They are likely to be better problem-solvers.C. They arent as intelligent as many have

36、 thought.D. They arent always able to learn more vocalizations.31.What does Jean-Nicolas Audets team plan to find out next?A. What types of birds are included for upcoming experiments.B. What the genetic connections between different bird species are.C. How vocal learning abilities affect the evolut

37、ion of human language.D. Which genes are related to birds problem-solving and vocal learning.DIt is now 16 years since Apple CEO Steve Jobs first showcased the iPhone. But at that time a lot of people were sceptical about it ever being a success. What about the lack of buttons to press? But today, t

38、he iPhone is a common device in our lives.But Apple is not resting easy on this success and recently announced the “Vision Pro”, and it is a headset that will let you do many of the things you do on a phone by wearing a pair of smart glasses.The way it works is that in front of your eyes are a coupl

39、e of screens, and then on the outside of the glasses, there are cameras that relay images from the outside world into your vision. To you, the wearer, it looks as though youre just existing normally in the world, but now Apple can add information digitally on top of the world around you.So functiona

40、lly, it works a bit like having a big, semi-transparent iPad floating in front of your face, and just like an iPad you can browse the web, make calls, and use apps, all without needing to hold anything in your hands.Then there are some smart features that only an all-encompassing (包罗万象的) headset can

41、 do. Itll be able to perfectly interact with the world around you. For example, perhaps when watching a football match, it might be possible to shrink down the pitch (球场) and have it appear as though the match is playing out on the table in front of you. Sure, it sounds pretty crazy-but these sorts

42、of ideas and headsets have been bubbling around for some time, a bit like how before the iPhone it was possible to buy Nokias and Ericssons where you could check your email. But now that Apple is getting involved, it has the influence to make this sort of technology go mainstream.32. Why does the au

43、thor mention “the iPhone” in the beginning?A. To mark the time when Jobs first showcased it.B. To show that people were suspicious about it.C. To emphasize its importance in our lives.D. To introduce a new technology, Vision Pro.33. How does the headset work?A. It shows wearers the outside world via

44、 cameras.B. It separates wearers from the world around them.C. It involves the users in a totally virtual world.D. It works completely in the same way as the iPad. 34. Whats the authors attitude towards the headset?A. Unclear. B. Cautious.C. Favorable.D. Doubtful.35. Whats the best title of the arti

45、cle?A. Visions of the future.B. Development of the iPhone.C. Influences of Apple.D. Advance of technology. 第二节 七选五（共5小题；每小题2.5分,满分12.5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。Sometimes I am overcome with worry suddenly. I worry about my mom getting sick.

46、iend Michelle told me she worries that whenever her husband is late, she thinks hes been in an accident. My former boss told me she pretends shes sick to avoid public speaking because shes lost her breath on stage.So, when worry and anxiety come into you, know that youre not alone. The National Inst

47、itute of Mental Health reports that 18 percent of Americans are affected by anxiety. Thats almost 1 in 5! 37 In life, accidents do happen. Are these really threats? We may think its safer when were anxious. But its just a false idea. Focusing on worst-case assumptions will not stop bad things happening. 38 We can find it difficult to continue making the most of good stuff that we have in the present. 39 One simple step is to change the way you think. Most of the time, we worry about things that are very unlikely to
