B When I was a child I was often told what not to eat."You don't want to get fat"was on constant repeat throughout my childhood.It really messed up my relationship with food-something that took me years to overcome.Because of this,I'm careful not to connect what my kids weigh with their worth as people.I encourage my daughter to make healthy snack choices and often dissuade her from a second dessert.But one day when I heard her saying"I think I'm too fat,"my heart sank.It made me wonder 高三英语第6页，共12页 if giving her advice on snacks was having an unintentionally negative impact According to Charlotte Markey,a professor of psychology,food is one of the rare subjects where,as parents,saying less is more."There are so many things in parenting that are good to talk through,but I'm not convinced that food is one of them,"she says."It just creates some worries and insecurities in kids that aren't necessarily healthy." Instead,she recommends applying a well-known concept among nutrition experts called the "Division of Responsibility,"where parents provide a variety of mostly healthy foods to their kids at fixed times,and the kids themselves decide what and how much they want to consume-even if that means occasionally eating more cookies than carrots. Allowing kids to eat what they want also exposes them to the natural consequences of their decisions."When your child says,My stomach hurts,'you can say,'Well you had a lot of sugary foods and you might feel better if you made some other choices,"says Markey."Let them feel like they have some control over it." I've been trying out these strategies and I've found that when I'm less restrictive,they do make better decisions."Feeding is a long game,"says Markey."The food you have available makes a huge difference.Even if they don't eat it,they're seeing it.And then all of a sudden it clicks.” 56.What can be inferred about the author from the first paragraph? A.She is upset by her kids'weight. B.She is particular about what she eats. C.She is interested in making food. D.She is critical of the way she was fed. 57.Which of the following would Markey disapprove of? A.Explaining to kids the risks of taking snacks. B.Offering various foods to kids at fixed times. C.Allowing kids to eat cookies occasionally. D.Talking with kids about school at mealtimes. 58.What should kids do according to the"Division of Responsibility"? A.Eat up what is provided for them. B.Share their food with other kids. C.Make diet decisions on their own. D.Help their parents do the dishes. 59.What does the author think of the strategies she has been following? A.Costly. B.Workable. C.Complex. D.Contradictory. 60.What does the passage focus on? A.Parents are supposed to strictly control children's diet to avoid health problems. B.Discussing food choices openly with kids is the best way to ensure healthy habits. C.Children need constant guidance to understand nutritional values so as to keep healthy 高三英语第7页，共12页 D.Offering children freedom in food choices helps build a healthy relationship with eating. c Doctor Dolittle,the well-known,fictional naturalist who famously possesses the ability to talk with animals and understand their languages has now inspired a high-paying science prize aimed at resolving the challenge of interspecies communication.A grand prize of $500,000,waits for whichever research team can make real progress:not just decoding (the language of another species but using it to draw a reply from an animal.Last week,an initial $100,000 went to a US team studying dolphin whistles-after decades of recording bottlenose dolphins in Florida, they identified around 20 distinct messaging whistles. The Coller Dolittle Challenge financed by Jeremy Coller,a vegan and animal lover, is unashamedly modelled on the Turing test(图灵测试).That20th-century test promotes efforts to design a machine capable of imitating human conversation,and became an attempt in the evolution of Al.It also became a focus for concerns about machines tricking,even taking over humans.The ability to communicate with other species without words is likely to raise similar,unsettling questions as research progresses.If we were able to decode animal chatter,should this knowledge change how we treat them,whether as pets,labour or food?The prize presents a moral challenge and it forces us to reconsider our relationships with other species. Philosopher Jonathan Birch,also a judge of the Jeremy Coller Centre,stressed that the Challenge is looking beyond the interspecies communication we have with pets,or that a farmer has with a sheepdog.Those relationships involve signalling and behavioural responses,Birch explains,"but that's not telling us how animals communicate with each other...this prize is about understanding it so well that we can start to join the conversation." While Coller hopes his charity will reshape our attitude to animals,the truth is that even groundbreaking research has largely failed to move the dial on their welfare. Recent work on cephalopod's(头足类s动物intelligence has not stopped plans to farm the creatures.We might one day be able to understand what animals are saying-but there is no guarantee we will listen. 61.What is the purpose of the Coller Dolittle Challenge described in the first paragraph? 高三英语第8页，共12页 A.To inspire more fictional stories about interspecies communication like Doctor Dolittle. B.To fund research that records and identifies the distinct whistles of bottlenose dolphins. C.To promote the study of animal languages by offering an initial prize of $100,000 to a US team. D.To award a team that successfully decodes an animal's language and receives a response from t 62.Why is Turing test mentioned in the passage? A.To warn concerns the Challenge may face B.To show its difference from the Challenge C.To stress its role and value in AI progress. D.To show its use in interspecies communication. 63.Which research would Birch approve of to win the prize? A.People communicating with their pets. B.Researchers interacting with birds using whistles. C.Researchers recording how cattle communicate. D.People directing sheepdogs during work. 64.What does the"move the dial"mean in the last paragraph? A.Slow the process. B.Win the prize. C.Make a change. D.Continue the research. 65.What's the author's attitude toward the practical effect of the research? A.Optimistic. B.Positive. C.Objective. D.Doubtful. D If you love it when a musician strikes the unexpected but perfect chord (you are not alone. Researchers led by Ben Gold,a PhD candidate in the lab of Robert Zatorre at The Neuro of McGill University,put 20 volunteers through a musical reward learning task.Each participant chose a color.Each choice came with a certain probability of leading to either a pleasurable musical piece or an unpleasurable one.Over time the participants learned which choices were more likely to produce both pleasurable and unpleasurable music. The test was designed to create an expectation of either musical enjoyment or dissatisfaction.Participants performed this task while their brain activity was measured with functional magnetic resonance imaging(MRI磁共振成像，. Using an algorithm(,the researchers then determined the reward prediction error for each choice-the difference between an expected reward and the actual reward received.They 高三英语第9页，共12页 compared that data to the MRI data,and found that reward prediction errors linked with activity in the nucleus accumbens.It is a brain area that has been shown to become active when the participant is experiencing musical pleasure in previous studies.The new study shows the musically unexpected errors make the reward center of our brains active,and enables us to learn about the music as we listen. This is the first evidence that musically caused reward prediction errors lead to musical pleasure.It is also the first time music as a reward has been shown to create such a response.Previous studies have focused on such rewards as food or money which can be seen or touched. Participants whose reward prediction errors most closely matched activity in the nucleus accumbens also showed the most progress in learning the choices that led to the pleasurable tones..This shows music as a neurobiological(神经生物学reward is capable of motivating learning.It also shows how an abstract stimulus(can play a role in producing potentially pleasurable effect in the brain's reward system and motivate us to listen again and again. 66.Why was the test designed in the study? A.To increase the participants'musical enjoyment. B.To make the participants expect the effect of music. C.To create an expectation of an enjoyable reward. D.To guide the participants to select enjoyable music. 67.The nucleus accumbens will become active when the music A.is as good as expected B.causes some dissatisfaction C.has some unexpected notes D.causes no reward prediction errors 68.What makes the new study different from the previous ones? A.The results of the study. B.The importance of the study. C.The stimulus causing the reward in the study. D.The equipment in measuring the brain activity. 69.What can we infer from the last paragraph? A.People improve their moods by listening to music. B.The abstract stimulus can benefit the decision-making process. C.People can make progress in learning while listening to nice music. D.The brain's reward system can be motivated by an abstract stimulus. 70.What's the author's purpose in writing this passage? 高三英语第10页，共12页
