Tall, long-necked giraffes are famous for their spots. The spots are believed to help the animals hide from their enemies. The skin beneath the spots may also help giraffes stay at the right temperature. Just like no two humans have the same fingerprints, each giraffe has its own special pattern of spots.
On July 31, a baby giraffe was born at Bright’s Zoo with no spots at all. Instead, its fur is light brown. The giraffe is a reticulated (网状的) giraffe, which is one of the four different kinds of giraffes. It was born perfectly healthy. It just doesn’t have any spots. David Bright, who runs the zoo, told Newsweek, “This is beyond rare. The last time this happened was 1972 in Japan.” Currently, the young giraffe is believed to be the only spotless giraffe in the world.
The young giraffe is a girl. Giraffes are born quite large. This one isn’t quite a month old, and she’s already about 1.8 meters tall. Mr. Bright says she’s very sweet, and has a “laid-back” personality.
A giraffe’s pattern of spots is created when the animal is still growing inside its mother. That means that this giraffe will never have spots. Mr. Bright says that the new giraffe might not have survived if she’d been born in the wild.
Reticulated giraffes are already struggling. In 2018, they were officially listed as “threatened”. Thirty-five years ago, there were 36,000 reticulated giraffes. Now, the number has been cut by more than 50%. Only about 16,000 reticulated giraffes remain.
Bright’s Zoo is hoping to use the young spotless giraffe to bring attention to efforts to protect giraffes. Mr. Bright says the zoo hopes to raise money for groups like Save Giraffes Now. So far, the young giraffe hasn’t been given a name. Mr. Bright’s family has come up with four possible choices. Now the zoo is asking people to vote for their favorite name.
24. According to the text，the spots of giraffes ________.
A. increase their beauty B. reduce their body temperature
B. are quite hard to distinguish D. serve as a way of self-protection
25. What makes the baby giraffe special according to paragraph 2

26. How is paragraph 5 mainly developed
A. By analyzing causes. B. By listing figures.

Does your neighborhood have plenty of birds This could be good news for your mental health because birdsong can help relieve anxiety. This is the finding of a newly published study, showing the great healing power of birdsong. The study on the effect of birdsong, based on real time feedback via app, points to a lasting improvement in mental wellbeing.
Lead author, Ryan Hammoud, explains that while there is growing evidence of the mental health benefits of being around nature, research on the power of birds to uplift us has been limited: “We humans have for the first time shown the direct link between hearing birdsong and positive mood.” He hopes that this evidence will encourage the greater protection of birds and their environments, not just for biodiversity, but also for our mental health.
Since the arrival of the epidemic, the increased anxiety and depression people experience have been well documented. In an effort to understand the influence of birdsong on mental health, researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Human Development in Berlin joined scientists from the Department of Psychiatry and Psychotherapy at the University of Hamburg-Eppendorf to evaluate how birdsong and, by contrast, man-made traffic noise affect mood, paranoia (多疑) and cognitive functioning. By using the Urban Mind app they did an experiment involving 295 healthy people. These participants heard either six minutes of traffic noise, or birdsong, completing questionnaires before and after hearing the sounds.
Significantly, the study authors emphasize that healthy people can also experience anxiety and temporary paranoid perceptions. They believe that the questionnaires helped identify these tendencies in healthy participants without them having a diagnosis (诊断) of mental health problems. Researchers found that hearing birdsong reduced anxiety in healthy participants but didn’t appear to worsen depressive states. Traffic noise, meanwhile, was found to worsen depressive states. The study found that neither traffic noise nor birdsong impacted cognitive performance.
And if just hearing birdsong has such a calming effect when it’s listened to via computer, Ryan Hammoud suggests this effect could be even better in the great outdoors.
28. What does Ryan Hammoud think of the research
A. Popular. B. Groundbreaking. C. Limited. D. Time-consuming.
29. How did the researchers carry out the research
A. By making calls to selected participants.
B. By doing a questionnaire survey on the streets.
C. By conducting an experiment on the Internet.
D. By offering a diagnosis of participants’ mental health.
30. What will the paragraph following the text most probably talk about
A. What applications birdsong is likely to have.
B. Where people can enjoy birdsong and benefit from it.
C. How outdoor sounds influence people’s mental health.
D. Why hearing birdsong outdoors has a greater calming effect.
31. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Birdsong Can Keep You Feeling Joyous
B. Protecting Birds Is Protecting Yourselves
C. Birds Can Improve Your Cognitive Performance
D. Birdsong Benefits You Both Physically and Mentally
D
In the initial stages of learning to speak, babies communicate with protophones—sounds similar to short word-like noises such as “da” “aga” and “ba”. These protophones are considered the foundations of speech, as they eventually evolve into full language. Objects matter a lot in this process, as the more vocalisation (发音) an object encourages, the closer a baby is to talking.
During the study researchers looked at the relationship between protophones and things typically found at home to assess their importance for developing language skills. To do this, the team observed how often babies aged between 4 and 10 months who live in Zambia vocalised when using toys and household items, and then compared it to how they interacted with natural objects.
They discovered the amount of protophones produced by the babies was significantly higher when engaging with human-made objects, compared to sticks, leaves, rocks and bird feathers. They also found the children were more interested in household items such as mugs, shoes, and pens when they were given the choice between them and natural objects.
“Our findings suggest that object features have an effect on the way in which babies communicate,” said lead author Dr Violet Gibson. “We observed that natural objects were less likely to encourage babies to produce protophones, and as a consequence they may not promote language skill development as much as factitious objects.” Babies seem to favour household items, possibly because their features are designed for specific functional purposes, or in the case of toys, they’re designed to get a child’s attention and spark their interest.
The study also examined whether babies show more social stare when using natural or manmade objects, as it’s one of the first methods of early communication. The researchers found differences in the babies’ looking behaviors between the two object types. “The babies in this study stared at the mothers significantly more often when using natural objects compared to the household items, particularly at a young age,” Dr Gibson explained. “It might be because they’re far less interested in natural objects, and look to their parents to assess their value.”
32. What can be learned from the first paragraph
A. Babies have a tendency to make strange sounds at will.
B. Laying a solid foundation for speech is important for babies.
C. Objects play a key role in the process of babies’ learning to speak.
D. Adults’ encouragement is necessary for babies’ language learning.
33. What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about
A. Potential influences of the study. B. Background knowledge of the study.
C. How researchers carried out the study. D. Why researchers conducted the study.
34. What does the underlined word “factitious” in paragraph 4 mean
A. Practical. B. Appealing. C. Advanced. D. Artificial.
35. Which of the following statements will Dr Gibson probably agree with
A. Object features shape nonvocal communication as well.
B. Babies have their own judgment on the value of objects.
C. Babies show more interest in natural objects than man-made ones.
D. Natural objects are more beneficial to babies’ language development.

People don’t just wake up one day and magically become independent. 36 The following skills can help you do that.
Learn more about yourself. If you’re filled with the idea of what other people want, you’ll never gain true independence. 37 However, when you value the thoughts and feelings of other people over your own, you weaken your own authority. If you really want to be more independent, it’s necessary to get to know your personality, likes and dislikes, needs and goals.
Spend time with yourself. Having time alone to build independence seems obvious. 38 Many people struggle to eat alone at a restaurant, go shopping by themselves, or even be at home without another person there. However, part of learning how to become more independent is developing the ability to not only be alone, but to enjoy time with yourself.
Advocate for yourself. If you constantly bend to what other people expect of you, it will be difficult to feel truly independent. However, you don’t need to be rude in order to advocate for yourself. 39 Standing up for yourself shows that you can have your own back in difficult situations instead of having to rely on someone else.
40 Of course, it’s always important to keep supportive people in your life that you can rely on. However, it’s unrealistic to think that they’ll always be there for you in the specific way that you need them to be at the exact time. Building your ability to be there for yourself can help you grow your independence since you won’t need to constantly rely on others for support.
A. Be your own support system.
B. Acknowledge your own ability.
C. However, it is easier said than done.
D. It can be done in a calm yet firm way.
E. It’s not a bad quality to consider the opinions of others.
F. Independence is a quality which takes practice to build.
G. Challenge yourself to think about what you like about yourself.

But it wasn’t until she sent it along, and I had a(n) 51 to study the picture, that I saw it on my face—the look of pure joy at being 52 to celebrate another birthday. It’s 53 to fake (假装) happiness. Therefore, 54 the present is the best gift I got for my birthday.
I have faith that I’ll enjoy many tomorrows and that 55 my hair will grow back.

If there’s anything wrong with the bike, I’ll be in trouble. And the clothes shouldn’t slow you down, so they need to be tight. They might feel a bit uncomfortable when you first put them on, but you will soon get used to them. I’m not bothered about not looking pretty—I just want to win.

思路点拨 根据文章第二段“On July 31, a baby giraffe was born at Bright’s Zoo with no spots at all. Instead, its fur is light brown... the young giraffe is believed to be the only spotless giraffe in the world.”可知，在布莱兹动物园内出生的这只长颈鹿身上没有斑点，被认为是目前世界上唯一一只纯色长颈鹿。由此可知，这只小长颈鹿的独特之处在于它的外观。
26. 答案 B
命题透析 写作手法题。
思路点拨 根据文章第五段中说到的“2018年，它们被正式列为‘受威胁’。35年前，有36000只网纹长颈鹿。现在，这些数字已经减少了50%以上。现存的网纹长颈鹿只有大约16000只”可知，本段主要采用了列数字的写作手法。
27. 答案A
命题透析 推理判断题。
思路点拨 通读全文可知，本文主要介绍了7月31日，一只极其罕见、没有斑点的纯色长颈鹿在田纳西州布莱兹动物园内出生。专家表示，它可能是目前世界上唯一的一只纯色长颈鹿，目前，该动物园正在网上为它征名。由此可以推断，本文最有可能选自新闻报道。
文章大意：本文是一篇说明文。主题语境为人与自然。一项新的研究表明，鸟鸣可以消除焦虑，改善你的心理健康。
28. 答案B
命题透析 推理判断题。
思路点拨 根据文章第二段中Ryan Hammoud 所说的“We humans have for the first time shown the direct link between hearing birdsong and positive mood.”可知，Ryan Hammoud说他们的研究是人类第一次表明听鸟鸣和积 极的情绪之间有直接的联系。由此可以推断，他认为他们的这项研究具有开拓性。
29. 答案 C
命题透析 细节理解题。
思路点拨 根据文章第三段中的“By using the Urban Mind app they did an experiment involving 295 healthy people.”可知，研究人员是通过使用Urban Mind应用程序对295名健康人进行了一项实验，即他们是通过在互联网上进行实验的方式开展研究的。
30. 答案D
命题透析 推理判断题。
思路点拨 根据文章最后一段“And if just hearing birdsong has such a calming effect when it’s listened to via computer, Ryan Hammoud suggests this effect could be even better in the great outdoors.”可知，Ryan Hammoud 认为如果仅仅是通过电脑听到鸟鸣就有这样的镇静效果，那么这种效果在户外会更好。由此可以推断，文章接下来最有可能会介绍为什么在户外听到鸟鸣会有更好的镇静效果。
31. 答案A
命题透析 标题归纳题。
思路点拨 通读全文尤其是根据文章第一段中的“This is the finding of a newly published study, showing the great healing power of birdsong. The study on the effect of birdsong, based on real time feedback via app, points to a lasting improvement in mental wellbeing.”可知，本文主要是介绍一项新的研究表明鸟鸣可以改善人的心理健康，让人保持快乐。
文章大意：本文是一篇说明文。主题语境为人与社会。研究发现：人造物体比天然物体更有利于婴儿的语言技能发展。
32. 答案 C
命题透析 推理判断题。
思路点拨 根据文章第一段中的“Objects matter a lot in this process, as the more vocalisation (发音) an object encourages, the closer a baby is to talking.”可知，物体在这个过程中非常重要，因为物体促使的发音越多，婴儿就越接近说话。由此可以推断，物体在婴儿学习说话的过程中起着重要的作用。
33. 答案 C
命题透析 段落大意题。
思路点拨 根据文章第二段中的“在研究过程中，研究人员观察了原声和家中常见物品之间的关系，以评估它 们对发展语言技能的重要性。为此，研究小组观察了生活在赞比亚的4至10个月大的婴儿在使用玩具和家庭用品时发声的频率，然后将其与他们如何与自然物体互动进行比较”可知，本段主要是介绍研究人员是如何开展实验的。
34.答案D
命题透析 词义猜测题。
思路点拨 画线词所在句子意为“我们观察到：自然物体不太可能促使婴儿发音，因此，它们可能不会像________物体那样能促进语言技能的发展”。结合上下文可以猜测，画线词最有可能意为“人造的”。
35. 答案 A
命题透析 推理判断题。
思路点拨 根据文章最后一段中的“The study also examined whether babies show more social stare when using natural or man-made objects, as it’s one of the first methods of early communication. The researchers found differences in the babies’ looking behaviors between the two object types”可知，这项研究还调查了婴儿在使用自然物体还是人造物体时表现出更多的社交凝视，因为这是早期交流的首要途径之一，研究人员发现这两种物体类型在婴儿的视觉行为上存在差异。Dr Gibson对此进行了解释。由此可以推断，Dr Gibson很可能认为物体的特征也能决定无声交流的形成。
