A new-born baby panda weighs only 100 grams A．What B．How much C．How many D．How heavy 【答案】B 【详解】句意：——一只熊猫宝宝出生时体重多少？ ——可能难以置信。一只新生熊猫宝宝只有100克重。 考查疑问词及特殊疑问句辨析。What什么；How much多少，询问不可数名词的数量、物品的价格或重量，常与动词weigh连用，注重测量结果；How many多少，询问可数名词的数量；How heavy多重，常直接修饰主语，不与weigh连用，注重重量本身的描述。根据答句“A new-born baby panda weighs only 100 grams”可知，此处在询问新生熊猫的重量值，且该句中含有谓语动词weigh“称重”，应用“How much”询问物品的重量。故选B。 6．There are _________ students planting trees in the park. They are working hard. A．only a lot B．only a little    C．quite a few     D．very little 【答案】C 【详解】句意：公园里有不少学生在种树。他们正努力干活。 考查限定词短语。only a lot表述错误；only a little只有一点，修饰不可数名词；quite a few不少、相当多，修饰可数名词复数；very little非常少，修饰不可数名词。根据“students”和“They are working hard”可知，此处需用修饰可数名词复数表示“数量多”的短语，“quite a few”符合语境。故选C。 7．—Wild animals need more people’s help. —Yes.

However, safety is still a big concern. Schools and parents should work together to teach students traffic rules and provide safe bike lanes. “Green travel is great, but it must be 15 ,” added Dr. Liu. Some cities have already built special paths for cyclists. In Changzhou, the government plans to add more bike-sharing stations near schools next year. “If we all do our part, the city will become cleaner and healthier,” said Li Hua. He believes that small actions can make a big 16 . “Every time I ride my bike, I feel like I’m helping the Earth.” Meanwhile, more students are choosing to 17 in eco-friendly activities, such as tree planting and waste sorting. 18 , some parents still worry about road safety. To address this, schools promise to offer training for 19 . The local government also plans to 20 more protected bike lanes by 2026. Zhang Wei now 21 to school with his parents every morning.

Death Valley is the hottest and driest place in North America. ②Death Valley isn’t an easy place to live in. It gets less than two feet of rain a year and it’s hot, too. In July, the temperature often gets over 46℃. There is even a lake that has turned into salt crystals (晶体). But it is cold at night. When it gets cold enough, the water on the ground will turn into very thin ice. Then the strong wind—like a large hand—can move the rocks along the icy ground. That is why the rocks can “walk” on their own in Death Valley. ③The weather condition (状况) in Death Valley is terrible, but it is still full of life. Nothing can stop plants and animals from making it their home. People have found more than 1,000 kinds of plants there. It also has 51 kinds of mammals (哺乳动物), 6 kinds of fish, and more than 300 kinds of birds. The animals aren’t all small, either. ④Finding water is the biggest challenge for anything that lives there. Some plants have roots that go fifty feet under the ground to find water. Kangaroo rats (更格卢鼠) get the water they need from flowers. ⑤Death Valley really makes a lot of surprises! 26．Death Valley is the ________ place in North America. A．safest B．hottest C．wettest D．coldest 27．The rocks can “walk” on their own in Death Valley because ________. A．it gets less than two feet of rain a year in Death Valley B．the water on the ground will turn into very thin ice C．the strong wind can move the rocks along the icy ground D．the weather condition in Death Valley is really terrible 28．How does the writer develop his idea in Paragraph 4? A．By giving examples. B．By asking questions. C．By giving suggestions. D．By telling stories. 29．Which is the best structure of the passage? A．①②/③④/⑤ B．①/②③/④⑤ C．①/②③④⑤ D．①/②③④/⑤ 【答案】26．B 27．C 28．A 29．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了美国的死亡大峡谷。 26．细节理解题。根据“Death Valley is the hottest and the driest place in North America.”可知，死亡大峡谷是北美最热的地方。故选B。 27．细节理解题。根据“Then the strong wind—like a large hand—can move the rocks along the icy ground. That is why the rocks can ‘walk’ on their own in Death Valley.”可知，强风可以使岩石沿着结冰的地面移动，所以死亡大峡谷的石头会“走路”。故选C。 28．推理判断题。根据“Finding water is the biggest challenge for anything that lives there.”可知，寻找水源对这里的生物来说是最大的挑战；再根据“Some plants have roots that go fifty feet under the ground to find water. Kangaroo rats (更格卢鼠) get the water they need from flowers.”可知，有些植物的根深入地下50英尺寻找水，更格卢鼠从花中获得所需的水。由此推知作者是通过举例的方式来阐述他的观点的。故选A。 29．篇章结构题。通读全文可知，第一段是总述死亡大峡谷是一个危险的地方；第二、三、四段介绍了死亡大峡谷的气温、天气状况和生物生存情况；第五段是总结全文。因此本文的结构为总—分—总。故选D。 In parts of Africa, people communicate with a wild bird—the greater honeyguide—in order to locate bee nests and harvest their stores of honey. It’s a rare example of cooperation (合作) between humans and wild animals. Brian Wood and Claire Spottiswoode were lead authors on a study about how this valuable partnership is maintained and how it changes in different cultures. “Our study proves the bird’s ability to learn specific voiced signals that are traditionally used by different honey-hunting communities. This helps people and birds work together in ways that are beneficial for both,” Wood said. “Honeyguides seem to know the landscape well. They know the location of bee nests and then share with people,” Spottiswoode said. “People are eager for the bird’s help.” The honeyguides also benefit from locating the nests: They eat the leftover honey. Spottiswoode and Wood’s study was done with the Hadza community in Tanzania and the Yao community of northern Mozambique. Before this study, they had already found that the two groups use different ways to attract honeyguides. When a Hadza person wants to work with a honeyguide, they make a whistle (口哨) sound in Mozambique, Yao people do this by making a “Brr!...” sound first, then a “…Hmm!” sound. Using mathematical models and audio (音频) playback experiments, the team studied these signals. In the experiment, researchers played the same set of recorded sounds to honeyguides in Tanzania and Mozambique. Through this experiment, the researchers wanted to know whether the honeyguides could recognize and prefer the special sounds used by local honey-hunters, or the birds were just naturally attracted to all such sounds. The honeyguides in Tanzania were over three times more likely to cooperate when hearing the calls of local Hadza people than the calls of “foreign” Yao. The honeyguides in Mozambique were almost twice as likely to cooperate when hearing the local Yao call, compared to the “foreign” Hadza whistles. The study shows that differences in honeyguide-attracting signals are not random (随机的) but have a practical reason. While honey-hunting, both the Hadza and Yao come across mammals (哺乳动物), but only the Hadza hunt them, using bows and arrows. The Hadza’s hunting might explain the less noticeable whistles they use. Hadza hunters explain that they can avoid being found by their prey (猎物) because their whistles “sound like birds.” However, the signal the Yao use to communicate with the honeyguide can help scare off animals they find dangerous. 30．By cooperating with honey-hunting communities, honeyguides can ________. A．recognize hunters’ whistle B．locate bee nests easier C．have more food D．become familiar with the landscape 31．Why did the researchers use the same recorded sounds? A．To study their mathematical models. B．To check if they are a natural preference. C．To see if they increase birds’ ability to find honey. D．To teach honey-hunting communities how to give signals. 32．What can we learn from Spottiswoode and Wood’s study? A．The honeyguides prefer calls from the local people. B．The human-bird relationship can change with new signals. C．The Yao community hunts animals while looking for bee nests. D．The signals from the Hadza were more attractive to honeyguides. 33．What is the last paragraph mainly about? A．How mammals react to different signals. B．How signals connect with hunting activity. C．How hunting skills are used to scare off animals. D．How whistles help honeyguides to find bee nests. 【答案】30．C 31．B 32．A 33．B 【导语】本文讲述了在非洲部分地区，人们与导蜜鸟合作寻找蜂巢和采集蜂蜜的故事，以及研究人员通过实验研究这种合作如何在不同文化中维持和变化。 30．细节理解题。根据“The honeyguides also benefit from locating the nests: They eat the leftover honey.”可知，导蜜鸟通过合作可以吃到剩余的蜂蜜，从而获得更多食物。故选C。 31．细节理解题。根据“Through this experiment, the researchers wanted to know whether the honeyguides could recognize and prefer the special sounds used by local honey-hunters, or the birds were just naturally attracted to all such sounds.”可知，研究人员想确认导蜜鸟是能识别并偏好当地捕蜜者使用的声音，还是天生就被所有这类声音吸引。故选B。 32．细节理解题。根据“The honeyguides in Tanzania were over three times more likely to cooperate when hearing the calls of local Hadza people than the calls of ‘foreign’ Yao. The honeyguides in Mozambique were almost twice as likely to cooperate when hearing the local Yao call, compared to the ‘foreign’ Hadza whistles.”可知，实验结果直接表明：坦桑尼亚的导蜜鸟听到当地哈德扎人的呼唤声时，合作的可能性是听到“外国”尧族声音的三倍多；莫桑比克的导蜜鸟听到当地尧族的声音时，合作的可能性几乎是听到“外国”哈德扎口哨声的两倍。这充分说明导蜜鸟偏好当地人的呼唤声。故选A。 33．主旨大意题。根据“The study shows that differences in honeyguide-attracting signals are not random (随机的) but have a practical reason.”可知，最后一段解释了哈德扎人使用不那么显眼的口哨声是为了在寻蜜时避免被猎物发现，而尧族人使用的声音有助于吓跑他们认为危险的动物。整个段落都在阐述不同信号与狩猎活动之间的关联。故选B。 Scene 1 The captain (首领) of Troy is standing on the high wall of his city. He is looking down at the sea. Captain: The Greeks (希腊人) gave up and went away! We won! (A soldier enters.) Soldier (士兵): Captain, Captain. ▲ Captain: Ah, yes. It’s too big. The Greeks didn’t want to take it with them. Get some help and pull it into the city. That won’t be difficult. It’s on wheels. Soldier: Yes, Sir! (The soldier leaves.) Scene 2 All the Trojans (特洛伊人) celebrate by the wooden horse. They sing and dance around the horse, and make jokes about the stupid Greeks. Captain: I haven’t laughed like this since my childhood! Man: The Greeks are so stupid! Ha! Ha! Scene 3 The party is over. The Trojans close all the doors of the city and then go to sleep. Then a secret door opens on the side of the wooden horse. The horse is full of Greek soldiers! Greek soldier A: All the Trojans have fallen asleep. Let’s climb out and open the main doors! Greek soldier B: Come on! Our army is waiting outside the city.

A．⑤-②-④-①-③ B．③-⑤-①-④-② C．③-①-④-②-⑤ D．⑤-③-①-④-② 36．What can we learn from the passage? A．Better safe than sorry. B．Practice makes perfect. C．A friend in need is a friend indeed. D．Where there is a will, there is a way. 【答案】34．D 35．B 36．A 【导语】本文讲述了古希腊军队佯装撤退，留下内藏士兵的木马诱使特洛伊人将其拖入城中，最终凭借此计策攻陷特洛伊城的故事。    34．推理判断题。根据“Captain: The Greeks gave up and went away! We won!”及“Captain: Ah, yes. It’s too big. The Greeks didn’t want to take it with them. Get some help and pull it into the city. That won’t be difficult. It’s on wheels.”可知，首领正在为希腊人撤退而高兴，士兵前来报告情况。首领接着说：“它太大了，希腊人不想带走。”并命令士兵把“它”拉进城。由此可推断，士兵报告的内容是发现了希腊人留下的巨大木马，D选项“看！他们留下了一个巨大的木马。”符合语境。故选D。 35．细节理解题。根据“The captain of Troy is standing on the high wall of his city.”可知，特洛伊首领站在高墙上，③排第一；根据“Get some help and pull it into the city.”可知，特洛伊首领命令士兵把木马拉进城，这发生在他们站在城墙上并发现木马之后，因此⑤紧随③之后；根据“They sing and dance around the horse, and make jokes about the stupid Greeks.”可知，特洛伊人嘲笑愚蠢的希腊人，这是在木马被拉入城后，特洛伊人举行的庆祝活动，因此①排在⑤之后；根据“The party is over. The Trojans close all the doors of the city and then go to sleep.”可知，特洛伊人关闭所有城门然后去睡觉，这表明庆祝派对结束后，他们才去休息，因此④排在①之后；根据“Let’s climb out and open the main doors!”以及后续叙述“The Greek soldiers quietly climb out of the horse one by one and open the main doors.”可知，希腊士兵爬出木马并打开大门，这是在所有特洛伊人入睡后发生的最终行动，因此②排在最后。正确顺序是③-⑤-①-④-②。故选B。 36．推理判断题。根据“The Greek army enter the city and win through the clever trick.”可知，希腊军队通过这个巧妙的计策成功攻入城市并取得了胜利，因此这个计策是“有用的”。根据全文可知，特洛伊人看到希腊人留下的木马，只看到了表面的胜利，他们没有进行任何安全检查，就兴高采烈地把这个不明物拉进城，最终导致城市的沦陷。选项A“小心驶得万年船。”符合语境，故选A。 四、还原句子（共4小题；每小题1.5分，满分6分） How much do you know about school life in Singapore (新加坡)?

I started learning French when I was 10 years old. But all my experiences with the language were in the classroom. When I was 17, I flew across the country by myself for the first time! I headed for Quebec to live with a French-speaking host family, who didn’t speak any English. And I would learn French at a local school. On the first day of school, the local school gave us students a test to determine (测定) our language level. We needed to only speak French all summer. I made every effort to communicate in a second language by making new friends, seeing movies and even ordering food from restaurants in French. Though I couldn’t understand most of it at the very beginning, the experience was exciting and refreshing. On weekends, my classmates and I took trips to different places around the province. On one trip, we went whale watching on the St Lawrence River. Even though it was raining, we could see huge whales swimming around our boat. The most wonderful part of our trip was a visit to Old Quebec. I walked along the stone street, took pictures of the European-style buildings, and learned some stories there. At the end of the summer, I was able to communicate pretty well. I couldn’t wait to go back to school and talk with my French teacher. Being lost in a French-speaking environment was a valuable learning experience. And it could be the main reason for my improvement in French. 41．How did the local school determine the students’ language level? 42．Where did the writer take trips on weekends? 43．What did the writer think of the visit to Old Quebec? 44．What do you think is the best way to learn a foreign language? 【答案】41．By giving a test. 42．Around the province. 43．The most wonderful. 44．开放性试题，言之有理即可。参考答案为：I think the best way is to be in an immersive environment of that language, like living with native speakers and communicating in the language daily. 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了加拿大女孩为提升法语水平，独自前往魁北克，在“法语沉浸式环境”中学习的经历；通过描述暑假期间的学习、旅行细节，突出了“沉浸式环境是提升外语能力的宝贵且有效的方式”这一核心观点。 41．根据第二段“the local school gave us students a test to determine our language level”可知，当地学校给我们学生做了一次测试，来测定我们的语言水平。故填By giving a test. 42．根据第四段“On weekends, my classmates and I took trips to different places around the province.”可知，周末的时候，我和同学们去省内的不同地方旅行。故填Around the province. 43．根据第四段“The most wonderful part of our trip was a visit to Old Quebec.”可知，参观旧魁北克是旅行中最精彩的部分。故填The most wonderful. 44．开放性试题，言之有理即可。参考答案为：I think the best way is to be in an immersive environment of that language, like living with native speakers and communicating in the language daily. 六、综合填空（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分） 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 My name is Pingo. I am a two-year-old emperor penguin (帝企鹅). I live 45 Antarctica (南极洲) with all the other emperor penguins. There 46 (be) no emperor penguins anywhere else in the world. Together with many other penguins, we make up a group. We spend 47 (we) whole lives here and the temperature can drop to-75°F. We have special 48 (way) of keeping warm. Emperor penguins are the 49 (large) penguins in the world. In our group, when an emperor penguin is 9 months old, he is fully grown (成年的). The tallest in my group is Pablo—4 feet tall. Emperor penguins are heavy too. Pablo is more than 100 pounds. I’m not as tall as Pablo. A funny thing about us is that we are birds with wings (翅膀), 50 we can’t fly. We use our wings 51 (help) us swim faster under water. Most emperor penguins live for 15 to 20 years. Polly, a member of our group, will be 38 this year. She’s 52 (real) old as a penguin. I am getting a little worried about 53 future of emperor penguins. The weather is changing in the Antarctic sea and that can greatly hurt us. Scientists say we could all 54 (die) by the year 2100 if it keeps getting warmer and warmer. That’s too bad. 【答案】 45．in 46．are 47．our 48．ways 49．largest 50．but 51．to help 52．really 53．the 54．die 【导语】本文以帝企鹅Pingo的视角，介绍了帝企鹅的生活栖息地、保暖方式、体型特征、生活习性、寿命，以及它们面临的气候变暖带来的生存危机。 45．句意：我和其他所有的帝企鹅一起生活在南极洲。根据“I live…Antarctica (南极洲) with all the other emperor penguins.”可知，live in+地点意为“生活在……”，故填in。 46．句意：世界上其他任何地方都没有帝企鹅。根据“There…no emperor penguins anywhere else in the world.”可知，there be句型遵循“就近原则”，后面的主语emperor penguins是复数形式，且文章时态为一般现在时，因此be动词用are。故填are。 47．句意：我们一辈子都在这里度过，气温能降到零下75华氏度。根据“We spend…whole lives here and the temperature can drop to -75°F.”可知，修饰名词短语whole lives需要用形容词性物主代词，we的形容词性物主代词是our。故填our。 48．句意：我们有特殊的保暖方法。根据“We have special…of keeping warm.”可知，way是可数名词，结合语境可知帝企鹅的保暖方法不止一种，因此要用复数形式ways。故填ways。 49．句意：帝企鹅是世界上最大的企鹅。根据“Emperor penguins are…penguins in the world.”可知，句中有表示范围的in the world，因此要用形容词的最高级形式，large的最高级是largest。故填largest。 50．句意：关于我们一件有趣的事是，我们是有翅膀的鸟，但我们不会飞。根据“A funny thing about us is that we are birds with wings (翅膀),…we can’t fly.”可知，前后两个分句之间是转折关系，要用转折连词but连接。故填but。 51．句意：我们用翅膀帮助自己在水下游得更快。根据“We use our wings…us swim faster under water.”可知，这里是use sth to do sth意为“用某物做某事”，因此填help的不定式形式to help。故填to help。 52．句意：作为一只企鹅，她真的很老了。根据“She’s…old as a penguin.”可知，修饰形容词old需要用副词，real的副词形式是really。故填really。 53．句意：我有点担心帝企鹅的未来。根据“I am getting a little worried about…future of emperor penguins.”可知，此处特指帝企鹅的未来，要用定冠词the修饰名词future。故填the。 54．句意：科学家说，如果天气继续变得越来越暖和，到2100年我们可能都会灭绝。根据“Scientists say we could all…by the year 2100 if it keeps getting warmer and warmer.”可知，could是情态动词，情态动词后接动词原形，因此填die。故填die。 七、书面表达（共1题；满分25分） 55．寒假即将来临，在令人愉快的寒假里，你将如何注意自己的人身安全？为了进一步增强中学生的安全意识，提高自我保护能力，我校将开展以“How to keep safe”为题的英语演讲比赛，请你根据以下提示写一篇演讲稿。 注意： 1.词数80—100，开头已为你写好，不计入总词数； 2.文中不得出现真实姓名与校名； 3.可适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 How to keep safe Dear students, it’s my great pleasure to share my ideas about how to keep safe. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】例文： How to keep safe Dear students, it’s my great pleasure to share my ideas about how to keep safe.

More students choose to ride bikes or take public transport instead of asking their parents for a ride. Li Hua, a Grade 8 student from Changzhou, started riding a bike to school three months ago. “At first, I felt tired, but now I enjoy the fresh air and the exercise,” he said. His classmate Mei Lin takes the bus every day. “It’s cheap and 11 ,” she explained. “Also, buses produce less pollution than cars.” Their school even organized a “No-Car Day” last month to encourage students to think about the 12 of using private cars. Many families have also changed their habits. Zhang Wei’s parents used to drive him everywhere, but now they walk with him to the subway station. “We talk more on the way,” Zhang said. “And I feel more 13 because I plan my own time.” Experts say that green travel not only helps the environment but also teaches teenagers responsibility and independence. “When students make their own choices about how to get to school, they learn to be more 14 ,” said Dr. Liu, an education researcher. However, safety is still a big concern. Schools and parents should work together to teach students traffic rules and provide safe bike lanes. “Green travel is great, but it must be 15 ,” added Dr. Liu. Some cities have already built special paths for cyclists. In Changzhou, the government plans to add more bike-sharing stations near schools next year. “If we all do our part, the city will become cleaner and healthier,” said Li Hua. He believes that small actions can make a big 16 . “Every time I ride my bike, I feel like I’m helping the Earth.” Meanwhile, more students are choosing to 17 in eco-friendly activities, such as tree planting and waste sorting. 18 , some parents still worry about road safety. To address this, schools promise to offer training for 19 . The local government also plans to 20 more protected bike lanes by 2026. Zhang Wei now 21 to school with his parents every morning. He says he no longer feels rushed or stressed. “I used to wish I could fly to school,” he joked, “but now I have no 22 —walking is actually fun!” 11．A．slow B．boring C．convenient D．expensive 12．A．cost B．problem C．fun D．habit 13．A．nervous B．lonely C．independent D．tired 14．A．creative B．responsible C．polite D．careful 15．A．fast B．quiet C．safe D．easy 16．A．mistake B．decision C．difference D．promise 17．A．give up B．set off C．look after D．take part 18．A．However B．Instead C．Besides D．Finally 19．A．her B．us C．him D．them 20．A．build B．visit C．clean D．leave 21．A．rides B．walks C．drives D．flies 22．A．hope B．fear C．regret D．surprise 三、阅读理解（共14小题；每小题2分，满分28分） English Study Self-assessment (自我评估) Grade: 8 Name: Amelia Listening skills: ▶Understand the English teacher and finish the listening tasks in class.

Death Valley is the hottest and driest place in North America. ②Death Valley isn’t an easy place to live in. It gets less than two feet of rain a year and it’s hot, too. In July, the temperature often gets over 46℃. There is even a lake that has turned into salt crystals (晶体). But it is cold at night. When it gets cold enough, the water on the ground will turn into very thin ice. Then the strong wind—like a large hand—can move the rocks along the icy ground. That is why the rocks can “walk” on their own in Death Valley. ③The weather condition (状况) in Death Valley is terrible, but it is still full of life. Nothing can stop plants and animals from making it their home. People have found more than 1,000 kinds of plants there. It also has 51 kinds of mammals (哺乳动物), 6 kinds of fish, and more than 300 kinds of birds. The animals aren’t all small, either. ④Finding water is the biggest challenge for anything that lives there. Some plants have roots that go fifty feet under the ground to find water. Kangaroo rats (更格卢鼠) get the water they need from flowers. ⑤Death Valley really makes a lot of surprises! 26．Death Valley is the ________ place in North America. A．safest B．hottest C．wettest D．coldest 27．The rocks can “walk” on their own in Death Valley because ________. A．it gets less than two feet of rain a year in Death Valley B．the water on the ground will turn into very thin ice C．the strong wind can move the rocks along the icy ground D．the weather condition in Death Valley is really terrible 28．How does the writer develop his idea in Paragraph 4? A．By giving examples. B．By asking questions. C．By giving suggestions. D．By telling stories. 29．Which is the best structure of the passage? A．①②/③④/⑤ B．①/②③/④⑤ C．①/②③④⑤ D．①/②③④/⑤ In parts of Africa, people communicate with a wild bird—the greater honeyguide—in order to locate bee nests and harvest their stores of honey. It’s a rare example of cooperation (合作) between humans and wild animals. Brian Wood and Claire Spottiswoode were lead authors on a study about how this valuable partnership is maintained and how it changes in different cultures. “Our study proves the bird’s ability to learn specific voiced signals that are traditionally used by different honey-hunting communities. This helps people and birds work together in ways that are beneficial for both,” Wood said. “Honeyguides seem to know the landscape well. They know the location of bee nests and then share with people,” Spottiswoode said. “People are eager for the bird’s help.” The honeyguides also benefit from locating the nests: They eat the leftover honey. Spottiswoode and Wood’s study was done with the Hadza community in Tanzania and the Yao community of northern Mozambique. Before this study, they had already found that the two groups use different ways to attract honeyguides. When a Hadza person wants to work with a honeyguide, they make a whistle (口哨) sound in Mozambique, Yao people do this by making a “Brr!...” sound first, then a “…Hmm!” sound. Using mathematical models and audio (音频) playback experiments, the team studied these signals. In the experiment, researchers played the same set of recorded sounds to honeyguides in Tanzania and Mozambique. Through this experiment, the researchers wanted to know whether the honeyguides could recognize and prefer the special sounds used by local honey-hunters, or the birds were just naturally attracted to all such sounds. The honeyguides in Tanzania were over three times more likely to cooperate when hearing the calls of local Hadza people than the calls of “foreign” Yao. The honeyguides in Mozambique were almost twice as likely to cooperate when hearing the local Yao call, compared to the “foreign” Hadza whistles. The study shows that differences in honeyguide-attracting signals are not random (随机的) but have a practical reason. While honey-hunting, both the Hadza and Yao come across mammals (哺乳动物), but only the Hadza hunt them, using bows and arrows. The Hadza’s hunting might explain the less noticeable whistles they use. Hadza hunters explain that they can avoid being found by their prey (猎物) because their whistles “sound like birds.” However, the signal the Yao use to communicate with the honeyguide can help scare off animals they find dangerous. 30．By cooperating with honey-hunting communities, honeyguides can ________. A．recognize hunters’ whistle B．locate bee nests easier C．have more food D．become familiar with the landscape 31．Why did the researchers use the same recorded sounds? A．To study their mathematical models. B．To check if they are a natural preference. C．To see if they increase birds’ ability to find honey. D．To teach honey-hunting communities how to give signals. 32．What can we learn from Spottiswoode and Wood’s study? A．The honeyguides prefer calls from the local people. B．The human-bird relationship can change with new signals. C．The Yao community hunts animals while looking for bee nests. D．The signals from the Hadza were more attractive to honeyguides. 33．What is the last paragraph mainly about? A．How mammals react to different signals. B．How signals connect with hunting activity. C．How hunting skills are used to scare off animals. D．How whistles help honeyguides to find bee nests. Scene 1 The captain (首领) of Troy is standing on the high wall of his city.
