The song was written by two sisters from Kentucky, Mildred and Patty Smith Hill. It was first published under the 　2     of “Good Morning to All”in 1893. It was used as a classroom 　3    . Teachers sang it each day to welcome their students to the classroom. The composer, Mildred Hill, was a concert pianist.

And humans aren't the only ones who have different dialects. Animals do,too! Scientists at Aarhus University in Denmark spent six years studying sperm whales (抹香鲸）in the Caribbean. They found that the animals communicate through special clicking noises that are unique to their group. This call has never been found in Pacific whales. According to National Geographic, researchers studied the howls (嚎叫) of different species of wolves. They found that red wolves, Arctic wolves and coyotes (郊狼) have howls that can change in pitch (高音). In other words, they have their own dialects. Other animals that have been shown to have dialects include bats and dogs. So how do animals develop their own dialects? According to Darcy Kelley from Columbia University, most animals learn their accents naturally. For example, macaques(猕猴) start speaking their dialect as soon as they are born. Scientists placed some macaques in a new environment where their playmates all spoke a different dialect. But the macaques still spoke their own dialect. Their environment had no impact on their communication, according to the Washington Post. However, some animals can change their accent according to their environment. Birds who live in cities develop different accents from those in the countryside. To deal with loud city noise, city birds' tweets are high-pitched, according to the Sun. These high-pitched tweets are easier to hear in noisy places. So can animals learn a new dialect from others? "A proper accent is key to mating and warning the coming of enemies, which is the basis of living," Kelley told the Washington Post. A species can't risk changing its own dialect and learning a new one. Choose the answer: 11. The sperm whales in Paragraph 2 are used to show that . A. animals can communicate with each other B. animals like sperm whales may also have dialects C. whales communicate by using clicking noises D. sperm whales live only in the Caribbean 12. Why do researchers believe that wolves have dialects? A. Because there are different species of wolves. B. Because wolves live in different areas of the world. C. Because wolves of different species howl at different pitches. D. Because wolves can communicate with each other by howling. 13. Which of the following would Darcy Kelley agree with? A. Most animals start learning their dialects when they are born. B. Macaques can learn a new dialect quickly in a new environment. C. The environment can have an influence on animals' dialects. D. Some birds can change their accents to deal with loud noises. 14. Birds living in cities develop high-pitched accents to . A attract mates B. make special sounds C. be heard over noises D. protect their language 15. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. The development of animals' dialects. B. The importance of animals' dialects. C. The differences between animals' dialects. D. The problems animals face. 【参考答案】11-15 BCACB Word Collection： 1.dialect n.方言；土话 2.click v./n.点击 3.unique adj.独特的；唯一的 4.species n.种，物种；种类 5.accent n.口音，腔调 6.impact n.影响；作用 7.basis n.基础，要素；基准；根据 the basis of... ...的基础 C 阅读短文，用英文填空或回答问题 (请注意每小题的词数要求)。 “On the first day of 2024, I saw the snows of Kilimanjaro (乞力马扎罗山),” said Xu Zhuoyuan, a 17-year-old mountain climber from Hunan. Xu’s mountain climbing journey began on a family trip to Xizang and Sichuan four years ago. Passing by Mount Siguniang in Sichuan, she enjoyed its beauty and decided to try climbing it. She fell in love with mountain climbing right then and there. For the next few years, Xu did hard training. She went to climb peaks (山峰) over 5,000 meters and doing daily physical exercise like running, swimming and bike riding. All that hard work got her ready for the big challenges she would face on Kilimanjaro. Above 4,000 meters on Mount Kilimanjaro, the weather is similar to a desert, with big temperature differences. The whole climb took seven days, and staying warm and avoiding heat loss (损失) were the main challenges. Xu had to keep an eye on the temperature and change her clothes when the temperature changed. During this experience, Xu was climbing with Xia Boyu, the first Chinese climber who reached the top of Mount Qomolangma with a prosthetic (假肢的) leg. “Every time I felt like giving up, just seeing Xia was enough to inspire me. He still kept going although he was having bloodied (流血的) legs from his prosthesis,” Xu said. Looking ahead, Xu has set great goals for herself. She plans to climb the highest peak on each of the seven continents (大陆) and visit the North and South Poles by the time she’s 18. That’s her “7+2 program”. 16．The passage mainly tells the story of a young named Xu Zhuoyuan. (一空一词) 17．To prepare for big challenges, Xu did daily physical exercise like .
