　　三、閱讀理解

　　The idea for a science experiment can come from an unusual place.After watching a YouTube video of a dancing bird named Snowball，a scientist in California decided to study the ability of animals to keep the beat.

　　Bird lovers have long claimed that their pets have rhythm，and there are many videos of dancing birds online.Until now，scientists have suspected that humans are the only animals that can accurately keep rhythm with music.

　　Thanks to Snowball，that_scientific_opinion is changing.Snowball is a cockatoo，a kind of parrot，and his favorite song is“Everybody”by the Backstreet Boys.When he hears the song，he moves his feet and rocks his body with the tempo，or pace of the music，as though he is the only bird member of the boy band.

　　Aniruddh Patel is a neuroscientist，or a scientist who studies how the brain and the nervous system contribute to learning，seeing and other mental abilities.He works at the Neurosciences Institute in San Diego.After seeing Snowball’s dance online，Patel visited the cockatoo at the bird rescue facility he’s called home for two years.The scientist played“Everybody”for Snowball and also played versions of the song that were sped up or slowed down.Sometimes，Snowball danced too fast or too slowly.Often，when there was a change in tempo，Snowball adjusted his dancing to match the rhythm.In other experiments，scientists have observed the same abilities in preschool children.

　　Patel isn't the only scientist who has studied Snowball's moves.Adena Schachner，who studies psychology at Harvard University，also wanted to know more about the dancing bird.Schachner's team played different musical pieces for Snowball and a parrot named Alex，as well as eight human volunteers.The scientists observed that the birds and the humans kept time to the music with about the same accuracy.

　　Schachner and her team watched thousands of YouTube videos of different animals moving to music.Not all the animals could dance，however.From watching the videos，the scientists observed that only animals that imitate sounds，including 14 parrot species and Asian elephants，accurately moved in time to music.

　　1．The underlined words“that scientific opinion”in the third paragraph refer to the theory that ______.

　　A．birds like Snowball have the ability to keep the beat

　　B．humans are the only animals that can accurately keep rhythm with music

　　C．the brain and the nervous system contribute to some mental abilities

　　D．bird pets can have their special rhythm under human’s instruction

　　2．From the fourth paragraph we may know that ______.

　　A．Patel is the only scientist who has studied Snowball’s moves

　　B．Snowball is able to adjust his dancing to match the rhythm

　　C．Snowball cannot dance to the versions of the song Everybody

　　D．it is the brain and the nervous system that control the mental abilities

　　3．The idea of studying animals’ability to keep the beat comes from ______.

　　A．bird lovers' discovery

　　B．humans' musical sense

　　C．the same abilities in children

　　D．videos of dancing birds

　　4．According to the scientists，Snowball's ability to dance to music is probably related to the fact that ______.

　　A．it is the only bird member of the Backstreet Boys band

　　B．it has the ability to imitate sounds

　　C．it is a kind of dancing parrot

　　D．it has the same abilities as preschool children

　　15．解析：句意：這是個非同尋常的成就——在此之前還沒有人獲得過五次冠軍。responsible有責(zé)任的；noble高尚的；extreme極度的；unique在此意為“極好的，不同尋常的”，符合句意。

　　二、完形填空

　　解題導(dǎo)語：多年來，父子二人從未用語言表達(dá)過心中的愛。最終，作者鼓足勇氣，在電話中向父親傾訴了自己的心聲。父親也道出了自己內(nèi)心深處的愛，作者聽后潸然淚下。

　　1．解析：turn out表示“結(jié)果是”，意思是想讓父親說出“我愛你”將更加困難。前三項分別表示“計算出，解決”；“爆發(fā)”；“出現(xiàn)，出版，發(fā)表”，都不符合語境。

　　答案：D

　　2．解析：此處與前面的when you are a child相呼應(yīng)，表示的是父親年齡的增加。

　　3．解析：上一段是作者的親身體會和感悟，再結(jié)合下文的make the first(move)可推斷作者不“記得”自己成長過程中聽到父親說過這樣的話。

　　答案：A

　　4．解析：作者的父親從未對作者說過“我愛你”，而作者也不曾向自己的父親表白過，所以用A項，表示“說實話，如實地”。B、C、D三項分別表示“幸運地”、“自然地”、“明顯地”，均不符合語境。

　　答案：A

　　5．解析：作者也無法回憶起自己曾向父親說過那些話。

　　答案：C

　　6．解析：break the ice表示“打破沉默，打破僵局”。作者打算打破僵局，首先向父親表達(dá)自己心中的愛。

　　答案：B

　　7．解析：由本段第二句內(nèi)容可知，由于作者和父親都從未向?qū)Ψ秸f過“我愛你”，所以作者決定先采取“行動”，主動向父親表達(dá)。文章結(jié)尾處的taken the first step也有提示。

　　答案：C

　　8．解析：多年來作者和父親之間從未向?qū)Ψ奖磉_(dá)過自己的愛意，而作者又決定首先打破僵局，由此可推知作者需要鼓足所有的“勇氣”說出那些話。此外，句中的in a low voice以及引號中的省略號也是線索。

　　答案：A

　　9．解析：父親多年來從未向孩子表達(dá)過心中的愛，而孩子突然間傾訴了自己的心聲，作為長輩的他自然一時難以反應(yīng)過來，所以是“沉默”。D項在文章中沒有信息支持。
