African penguins bear the unfortunate nickname “jackass penguins” because they communicate through donkeylike calls,but a new study suggests that their jackass language actually follows the same basic linguistic rules as ours.
In a new study,researchers recorded nearly 600 voices from 28 adult male penguins.The scientists knew from previous research that African penguins talked using three types of sounds,similar to human syllables.But the researchers wanted to know whether those “syllables” followed two common linguistic rules.
One of those rules,called Zipf's law,was presented by linguist George Zipf.It states that the more frequently a word is used in any language,the shorter it tends to be (think of words like “the”,“to” and “of” in English).Previous studies have analyzed more than 1,000 world languages for evidence of Zipf's law,and the rule holds up in all of them.
The other rule,known as the MenzerathAltmann law,says that the longer a word is,the shorter its syllables are,while shorter words are more likely to have longer syllables.A syllable is a word or a part of a word that has only one vowel.For example,“son” has one syllable and “father” has two syllables.According to the law,the word “onomatopoeia” is made up of six very short syllables,while “couch” is made up of one longer one.Earlier studies have shown that nonhuman primates (灵长目动物) follow both these rules when they communicate with each other,but what about jackass penguins?The researchers in the new study found that the songs of the male jackass penguin follow both Zipf's and Menzerath's laws:The shortest calls tended to be the most common,and the longest phrases were made up of the shortest syllables.
This jackass study provided the first nonhuman primate evidence that these common linguistic patterns apply to other species in the animal kingdom.
4.How does Zipf's law explain the words like “big”,“or” and “as”?
A.They let people think of shorter words.
B.They are commonly used and thus short.
C.They are frequently replaced by other words.
D.They have only one meaning and are less important.
5.What does the MenzerathAltmann law show?
A.The link between longer words and shorter words.
B.The link between longer syllables and shorter syllables.
C.The link between a word's pronunciation and its vowels.
D.The link between a word's length and its syllables' length.
6.What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A.The limitation of the study. B.The importance of the study.
C.The development of linguistic patterns. D.The doubt about animals' language abilities.
7.What can be the best title for this text?
A.Humans and Animals Share Similar Sounds
B.Jackass Penguins Make Three Types of Sounds
C.Scientists Have Made a New Discovery about Syllables
D.African Penguins' Talk Follows the Same Rules as Human Speech

As the daughter of immigrants,Vanida Chanthaphone's primary language at home was Lao.At 5,she learned to speak English.But she didn't know how to read and write — let alone how to fit in at school or communicate with classmates.Mrs Lewis,Chanthaphone's secondgrade teacher,changed everything.She taught her students that it was OK if they did not know English and that it was all right for them to use words in their home language to explain how they were feeling or thinking.Chanthaphone got more and more confidence and wanted to do what her teacher did in the future.
Now,at 26,Chanthaphone is an English teacher at Fort Worth ISDs William Monnig Middle School.Like Mrs.Lewis,Chanthaphone aims to help her nonEnglishspeaking students to gain the confidence they need to fulfill their potential in life.
At the beginning of each school year,Chanthaphone recounts her story to her new classes.She tells them she knows what it feels like not to want to participate in class.She reminds them that she once sat in her seat like them and felt different because of her upbringing.But she stresses that's what makes each of them special.
Her students,though,are usually unconvinced.She has to take out photos of her graduating college and tell them about her parents and what her school was like.Then it finally clicks.
In the classroom,Chanthaphone allows students to communicate in whichever way they feel most comfortable.For some,it may be raising their hands and voicing their thoughts.For others,it may be writing their thoughts on a piece of paper and handing it to Chanthaphone.
However,Chanthaphone does encourage her students to go out of their comfort zone.She wants them to work with students they don't know because teamwork and collaboration (协作) with unfamiliar people are important.
“I've always wanted to be the teacher who supports students and advocates them in and outside the classroom,” Chanthaphone said.“When I get notes or see posts on social media from parents talking about previous teachers,including me,I feel like my goal has been completed.”
8.What do we know about Mrs Lewis?
A.She is ambitious. B.She is inspiring. C.She is knowledgeable. D.She is demanding.
9.Why does Chanthaphone tell her schooling experience to her new students?
A.To make a good beginning of her class. B.To make herself wellknown to her students.
C.To encourage her students to be confident. D.To push the students to voice their thoughts.
10.What does Chanthaphone focus on in class?
A.Students' strong curiosity. B.Students' mental health.
C.Students' unique talent. D.Students' communicating ability.
11.What can be the best title for the text?
A.I Was Once Like You B.You Are the Only One
C.No One Can Say No to You D.Everything Can Be Possible

【参考答案】
1. carefully 2. offers 3. more exciting 4. tasting 5. His 6. lost 7. with 8. which/ that 9. viewers 10. a
【答案解析】
1. carefully 考查副词。用副词来修饰实义动词短语taking notes,故填 carefully。
2. offers 考查谓语动词。从句谓语动词用 sees,主句也应该用相应的时态,主语为 he,故填 offers。
3. more exciting 考查形容词的比较级。根据空后的than可知空格处要用比较级, exciting为多音节形容词,比较级在其前加 more,故填 more exciting。
4. tasting 考查非谓语动词。在短语 look forward to中,to是介词,其后用动名词,故填 tasting。
5. His 考查代词。根据空后的名词 friends可知,要填形容词性物主代词,句首首字母需要大写,故填 His。
6. lost 考查非谓语动词。get lost 是固定搭配,意为“迷路”,故填 lost。
7. with 考查介词。 communicate with sb 是固定搭配,表示“与……交流”,故填 with。
8. which/that 考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知,此句为定语从句,空后为谓语动词 begin,说明此处作主语,空前的先行词是表示物的名词 programs,故填关系代词 which/ that。
9. viewers 考查名词的复数形式。根据空前的 many可知,后接可数名词的复数形式,故填 viewers。
10. a 考查冠词。reporter是可数名词单数,第一次提到且以辅音音素开头,前面需要用不定冠词,故填a。

【语篇解读】 本文是一篇记叙文。Vanida Chanthaphone讲老挝语,不会用英语阅读和写作。在Lewis老师的鼓励下,她对学习有了信心,后来也成了一名老师。她以Lewis老师为榜样,允许学生以让他们自己感到舒服的任何方式进行交流,并鼓励他们走出舒适圈,与自己不熟悉的人合作。
1.B [推理判断题。根据第一段的最后两句“She taught her students ...did in the future.”可知,Lewis老师鼓励她的学生用母语来表达他们的感受或想法,这使得Chanthaphone对学习英语越来越有信心,并打算在将来也当一句老师。据此可以推知,Lewis老师是鼓舞人心的。]

3.D [细节理解题。根据第六段尾句“She wants them to work with students they don't know...are important.”可知,Chanthaphone希望他们与不认识的学生合作,因为团队合作和与不熟悉的人协作很重要。据此可知,她很重视课堂上学生的沟通能力。]
