24．（8分）Electric devices can seem like a “third party” in some relationships because some partners spent more time on them than with each other.
When Amanda Gao, a 26-year-old white collar worker in Beijing, went to a hotpot restaurant with her boyfriend on Friday night several weeks ago, she expected that they would have a good time together. To her disappointment, however, it did not turn out that later. As soon as they were led to their seats and she began to order dishes, he buried himself in his mobile phone.
“It seemed that his phone was making its way between us. A date that should have belonged to us turned into one where my boyfriend dated a third party and I felt left out.” Gao said. Some people, like her, have found electronics have been sabotaging(破坏) their romantic relationships.
A study, published in the journal Psychology of Popular Media Culture, in April, 2017, questioned nearly 200 college aged adults who were in committed(真诚的) relationships to report on their and their partner’s smartphone dependency. The results showed people who were more dependent on their phones were less sure about their relationships, and people considered their partners excessively(过度地) dependent on their devices were less satisfied in their relationship.
Lin Yuan, a relationship advisor in Beijing, noted that as more and more electronics come out and spice up people’s lives, they are at the same time becoming a third party in relationships, especially for young people.
Lin said she knew of some people who suggest that electronics should be kept out of bedrooms, which she considered challenging and hard to be put into practice for most couples. She recommended that if people are feeling neglected in their relationship, they need to respectfully let their partners know their feeling. “Communication is always the best and the most efficient way.” she said.
1、What is Gao’s feeling when entering the restaurant with her boyfriend?
A．Expectant. B．Disappointed.
C．Annoyed. D．Uneasy.
2、Which of the following may Lin Yuan agree with?
A．Gao’s boyfriend must be addicted to playing games.
B．Most couples can practice keeping electronics out of bedrooms.
C．Partners should communicate more to understand each other better.
D．Couples should restrict the use of electronics to avoid possible problems.
3、Why was the case of Amanda Gao mentioned?
A．To explain who the “third party” is.
B．To stress the importance of electronic devices.
C．To make advisors know more about the matter.
D．To introduce peoples’ dependence on electronics.
4、Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A．A third party—electronic devices
B．Are electronic devices killing romance?
C．Do smart phones ruin partnership?
D．Couples and smart phones
25．（10分）Most birds produce short, simple calls, but songbirds also have the ability of many complex vocal (发声的) patterns that help them attract mates, defend territory (领地), and strengthen their social bonds. Each songbird species has its own unique song patterns, some with characteristic regional dialects. Experienced listeners can even distinguish individual birds by their unique songs.
A lot of what scientists know about bird song comes from studying zebra finches. A baby male zebra finch typically learns to sing from its father or other males, starting while it’s still a baby bird in the nest. First comes the sensory learning stage, when the baby finch hears the songs sung around it and commits them to memory. The bird starts to vocalize during the motor learning stage, practicing until it can match the song it memorized. As the bird learns, hearing the tutor’s song over and over again is helpful — up to a point. If it hears the song too many times, the imitation (模仿) becomes worse -- and the source matters. If the song is played through a loudspeaker, he can’t pick it up as easily. But hide the same loudspeaker inside a toy painted to look like a zebra finch, and his learning improves.
What if the baby never hears another zebra finch’s song? Interestingly enough, it’ll sing anyway. Isolated finches still produce what are called innate songs or isolate songs. A specific tune might be taught, but the instinct to sing seems to exist in a songbird’s brain. Innate songs sound different from the “cultured” songs learned from other finches - at first. If isolate zebra finches start a new colony, the young birds pick up the isolate song from their fathers. But the song changes from generation to generation. And after a few generations, the melody actually starts to resemble the cultured songs sung by zebra finches in the wild.
1、What can be learned from the first paragraph?
A．Songbirds don’t make short, simple calls.
B．Each songbird has its unique song patterns.
C．Some songbirds can speak human regional dialects.
D．Songbirds promote relations with others by singing.
2、Which of the following is true about a baby zebra finch’s learning process?
A．It begins to learn to sing from its parents,
B．The more it hears the song, the better it sings.
C．Before practicing, it has to remember the songs.
D．A loudspeaker is good enough to be a good teacher.
3、The underlined words “innate songs” in paragraph 3 refer to .
A．the songs sung by only one bird itself
B．the songs that a bird produces naturally without learning
C．the songs that are taught by parents
D．the songs always different from those of the same species
4、What’s the best title of this text?
A．What Can Songbirds Do with Singing?
B．How Do Songbirds Learn to Sing?
C．Why Are Bird Songs Different?
D．What Is a Zebra Finch?
