A
There is n questin that teenagers need rules, which is ften nt a difficult thing fr parents t give. What can be mre challenging is giving teenagers their freedm. It can be difficult t draw the line between the tw. Hwever, sme issues cannt be changed by discussin and require firm rules. Fr instance, rules shuld be established cncerning driving the family car.
I will admit that I have n prblem cming up with rules. T me they make life easier and they leave n rm fr questining. What can be mre difficult, hwever, is giving my teens their freedm. I guess there are really tw primary reasns fr this. One is that I smetimes am afraid t give them freedm. The secnd is that I'm nt always s sure what the freedm shuld be.
It helps that I have a husband with whm I can discuss these prblems. We talk abut them, give ur thughts and then we cme up with an agreement. Smetimes ne f us might be mre unwilling but we knw that there cmes a time when we really d have t learn hw t let g f the reins (缰绳) a bit.
If we try t make life have nthing but rules, we are mre likely t see ur teen's rebelling (反抗). They need t knw that while we d have certain expectatins, we als trust them t begin making their wn chices and decisins. Hw else can they d that unless they are given the space and rm t d it?
It's really all abut balance and I will be the first t admit that it can be a challenge t carry ut. Hwever, it is a necessary part f grwing up. Yes, teens definitely need rules but they als need freedm.
31. Accrding t the first paragraph, it is difficult t decide .
A. whether the children need rules
B. whether the children shuld be given freedm
C. hw much freedm shuld be given t children
D. what issues require nn-negtiable rules
32. Accrding t the text, we can infer that the authr .
A. refuses t give her children freedm
B. finds it difficult t make rules
C. desn't have a gd relatinship with her children
D. has truble in giving freedm t her children
33. Accrding t the authr, nly rules withut freedm will make the children .
A. strng-willed B. rebellius C. weak D. independent
34. Which f the fllwing is TRUE accrding t the passage?
A. Rules are difficult t make fr parents.
B. Rules and freedm are similarly imprtant.
C. We shuld give children freedm as much as pssible.
D. Rules are mre imprtant than freedm.

If there ever was a study that peple shuldn't get t little sleep, it's this ne. Peple deprived (剥夺) f a gd night's rest are mre likely t experience changes in brain activity that can increase the urge t eat high-calrie fds.
Matthew Walker at the University f Califrnia in Berkeley and his clleagues cnducted the first study f brain activity in relatin t fd amng sleep-deprived peple. The team used fMRI (功能磁共振成像) t study brain patterns f 23 peple, first after a night f peaceful sleep and then after a night withut sleep.
Sleep deprivatin reduced activity in three areas f the brain that helps prcess flavr signals. It als led t mre activity in the amygdala (扁桃腺), which helps gvern the mtivatin fr eating. The team als fund that vlunteers cnsidered the pictures f high-calrie fds mre desirable after n sleep than after a gd rest.
When the researchers cmpared peple allwed t sleep as much as they wished with thse wh slept just tw-thirds f their nrmal time, they fund that sleep deprivatin had direct effects n eating behavir. “When peple were sleep deprived, they ate an extra 549 calries per day,” say the researchers.
“It may make evlutinary sense,” says Laurent Brndel at the University f Burgundy in Dijn, France. The lng summer days at higher latitudes deprive animals f sleep, but animals use their time awake t eat mre, which helps them get thrugh the shrt days f winter when there is nt enugh fd.
“That's nly part f the stry, thugh,” says Stephanie Greer, anther member f the team. The bdy des need mre energy if smene remains awake fr lnger, but the high-calrie fds that becme mre desirable after sleep deprivatin wuld mre than meet this additinal need. The changes in fd desirability encuraged by the sleep-deprived brain may riginally have been imprtant adaptatin but tday they n lnger benefit ur health.
Brndel agrees with this cnclusin. “Sleep deprivatin culd, by an unknwn mechanism, mdify the pleasant sensatin and change eating behavir,” he says. Whatever the mechanism is, there's ne clear message frm the study. “These findings prvide pprtunities t adjust ur behavir in new ways t handle such health issues,” says Greer. “Specifically, ur study indicates that ne chice peple can make is t regularly btain enugh amunts f sleep.”
35. Matthew Walker cnducted the study n sleep-deprived peple t _____.
A. learn mre abut sleep patterns
B. warn f the danger f high-calrie fds
C. shw the imprtance f getting enugh rest
D. find the relatin between brain activity and fd
36. It can be inferred frm the passage that _____.
A. sleep-deprived peple lst the mtivatin fr eating
B. sleep deprivatin sped up the prcessing f flavr signals
C. sleep deprivatin had effects n the appetite fr high-calrie fds
D. sleep-deprived peple were uninterested in the pictures f tasty fd
37. Which f the fllwing is the crrect cause-and-effect relatinship?
A. Sleep deprivatin → Eating behavir → Brain activity
B. Sleep deprivatin → Brain activity → Eating behavir
C. Brain activity → Sleep deprivatin → Eating behavir
D. Eating behavir → Brain activity → Sleep deprivatin
38. What des the authr mean by saying “That's nly part f the stry” in Paragraph 6?
A. High-calrie fds can prvide extra energy.
B. Sleep deprivatin is nt gd fr human health.
C. Sleep-deprived peple are in need f mre energy.
D. Sleep deprivatin is helpful in the evlutin f animals.

Persnal grwth can be understd in a variety f ways. Type “persnal grwth” int a bk search and yu will find thusands f bks t chse frm t help yu reach yur full ptential. It's s easy t treat persnal develpment as smething that is ptinal and s few peple ever take the time t actively imprve themselves. On the ther hand, yu may have been develping as a persn, but never cnsider it as smething that can be named.
Persnal grwth and self-develpment are sme f the mst imprtant activities yu can d. Rather than regarding this as a selfish act, wrking n yurself t becme a better persn benefits thse arund yu, as well as thse in yur cmmunity and wrkplace.
Many f yur actins may already be fit fr “self-imprvement”. This self-imprvement, hwever, is mstly uncnscius and fr mst peple it's a case f pursuing “things” and “stuff” with the all-t-cmmn assumptin that when we get enugh stuff, we will be happy. Yu dn't have t search t far t find hw wrng this thery is.
Every day we read abut seemingly successful peple, thse wh “have it all” and find themselves in a chain f unhappy relatinships r life events, which sadly end in tragedy. Charles Atlas, the famus bdy builder, said, “True success lies in the develpment f the self.” This is a surprising philsphy (哲理) fr smene wh spent his life develping the physique (体格).
Materially, we may be wealthy r pr, but if yur inner life is nt fulfilled, yu will feel ut f balance with the rest f yur life and may try t make fr this by seeking substance elsewhere — alchl, ver-wrking, drugs and unhealthy relatinships.
What des my true self lk like when I take away my huse, car, etc.? Nte dwn yur gals as a persn. D yu recall what they were 10, 20, r even 30 years ag? Have they changed r gt lst n the way? Nw imagine yurself as an lder persn. What d yu want t lk like, sund like and feel like? Is this OK with yu r wuld yu like t change this picture? Answering these questins will give yu clues regarding where yu culd wrk n yur persnal grwth.
Persnally speaking, I see my wn persnal grwth as develping my creativity and spirituality, while building a healthy bdy as my 40s prgress. It sunds like a big task, but I break this dwn t bite-sized pieces, such as making sme specific changes in eating and exercise patterns, ging t a yga class, picking up ne f my many unused paintbrushes and just painting smething rather than taking an art schl curse, and suddenly that's achievable.
Set ut yur gals, first steps and plan f where and hw yu are ging t carry them ut. Get the supprt f a friend r family member t encurage yu and review yur prgress every three mnths r s t keep yu n track. Just start with small but meaningful changes that yu ntice, and if it feels strange, remember that change ften des. Remember yu're making these changes fr lng-term persnal gain, s it's quite natural t feel a little uncmfrtable at first, but be persistent, review yur plan and adapt. This is yur plan fr grwth, which can be changed and adapted t yur circumstances.
39. As fr the self-imprvement, .
A. mst peple d it well in their daily life
B. mst peple in fact regard it as a selfish act
C. mst peple cnsider it means building a healthy life
D. mst peple think it is trying t achieve enugh stuff
40. Accrding t the passage, a real successful persn is ne .
A. wh has spent his life ding business
B. wh des feel happy in his inner wrld
C. wh has gathered a great amunt f wealth
D. wh has made friends with many famus peple
41. Hw des the authr develp his persnal grwth?
A. He is always imagining himself as an ld persn.
B. He spares his time t take an art schl curse.
C. He imprves himself bth in creativity and spirituality.
D. He manages t cllect many secnd-hand paintbrushes.
42. We can cnclude frm the passage that .
A. persnal grwth is imprtant in ur life
B. mst peple dn't believe persnal grwth
C. the authr is the mst successful man
D. persnal grwth determines yur gals

We will ne day be able t talk t animals using cellphne-sized equipment, says a leading expert in animal behavir. Prfessr Slbdchikff is develping new technlgy that translates the calls f the prairie dg (草原犬鼠) and says the technlgy can be used t translate ther animals' “languages”. He als suggested that the technlgy culd ne day be imprved t enable humans t talk back t animals.
In an interview, Prfessr Slbdchikff explained he was using the new artificial intelligence (AI) sftware t recrd the calls f prairie dgs. He was then using the AI techniques t analyze the barks and translate them int English.
He explained that frm his research, he knew that prairie dgs warn ther members f the grup abut ptential dangers in great detail — even describing a threat as being “a thin, brwn wlf appraching quickly”.
The prfessr, wh had spent the past 30 years analyzing the behavir f animals, added, “I think the equipment we are develping will allw us t talk t ur dgs and cats. S the dg says ‘bark!' and the equipment analyzes it and says, ‘I want t eat chicken tnight.' Or the cat can say ‘mew', and the equipment says, ‘Yu haven't cleaned my litter bx recently.'” He predicted that it wuld take between five and ten years f wide-ranging research t get t this pint.
He believed that if such technlgy became a reality, it wuld change the wrld. Cnsider that 40 percent f all husehlds in America have dgs, 33 percent have cats. And cnsider that fur millin dgs are killed every year because f the prblems f behavir. Mst prblems are caused by the lack f cmmunicatin between animals and human beings. Human beings can't get acrss t animals what they expect, and animals can't get acrss t human beings what they are experiencing. If we had a chance t talk back and frth, the dg culd say, “Yu're scaring me.” And yu culd say, “Well, I'm srry, I didn't realize that I was scaring yu. I'll give yu mre space.”
“What I'm hping, actually, is that dwn the rad, we will frm partnerships with animals rather than explit (利用) them,” Prfessr Slbdchikff said. He added that many peple are afraid f animals r they have nthing t d with them because they dn't think that animals have anything t cntribute t their lives.
He says, nce peple are able t talk t animals, they will realize that animals are living, breathing, thinking beings, and that they have much t cntribute t peple's lives.
Previus attempts t help human understand animals include the BwLingual. The Japanese equipment claims t translate barks frm dzens f different breeds (品种) f dgs. The equipment was successful enugh t be brught t the American market. But reprts f the BwLingual's accuracy have been mixed, with ppular prduct-review website Epinins giving it a lw 1.5 star average. Later the same cmpany develped a fllwing prduct fr cats called Mewlingual althugh this was less successful.
43. Prfessr Slbdchikff is develping the new technlgy by .
A. recrding prairie dgs' barks with a tape recrder
B. talking t prairie dgs using cellphne-sized equipment
C. teaching prairie dgs t speak English via advanced sftware
D. recrding and analyzing prairie dgs' barks with AI technlgy
44. What des the underlined part “this pint” in the furth paragraph refer t?
A. Detailed analysis f animals' behavirs.
B. Effective cmmunicatin between dgs and cats.
C. Humans using the equipment t talk with dgs and cats.
D. Humans using AI technlgy t cmmunicate with all animals.
45. Accrding t the passage, Prfessr Slbdchikff expects peple t .
A. make full use f animals
B. treat animals as gd partners
C. experience what dgs must experience
D. cntribute a lt t the prtectin f animals
46. Which f the fllwing is NOT true accrding t the passage?
A. Humans aren't able t talk t animals nw.
B. Sme peple think the Bwlingual is nt very accurate.
C. Prfessr Slbdchikff has full cnfidence in his research.
D. Large quantities f dgs are killed due t the increase in number.

Glaciers in the Alps f Eurpe pse a scientific mystery. In a span f abut 50 years, sme f the biggest glaciers retreated mre than half a mile. But nbdy culd explain the glaciers' rapid decline.
Scientists trying t understand Eurpe's climate fr the past several hundred years have turned t the glaciers in the Alps because they kept recrds f temperature and precipitatin (降雨量) during that time.
“If yu lk back thrugh the 1600s and the 1700s, the glaciers were big and quite stable,” says Tm Painter. That's prbably because Eurpe was in a prlnged cld spell, knwn as the Little Ice Age. “And then arund the 1860s, the glaciers all started t retreat t the length that they had nt in the previus few hundred years,” he says.
Sme histrians think that retreat marks the end f the Little Ice Age. But there's a prblem: Eurpe didn't actually heat up until the 1910s r the 1920s. In fact, if yu g by just air temperature and precipitatin, the glaciers shuld have advanced, nt retreated. S why did the glaciers start t melt?
“It dawned n me that industrializatin was starting then,” Painter says. “We have these visins frm Charles Dickens and thers f that time — the mid-1800s — f a huge amunt f st (煤烟) being pumped ut int the atmsphere, nt just in England but in France and Germany and Italy.”
Painter's previus research has shwn that dust blwing nt the Rcky Muntains is making the snw melt much faster there because dark snw absrbs mre sunlight. He fund a recrd f st frm ice samples higher up in the muntains. And he thinks there was human influence.
“Industrial pllutin frm Eurpe wasn't blwing nt Iceland r Nrway, which remained cld and frsty,” says Giffrd Miller. “Maybe it gave the Alpine flks in Switzerland and the Italian Alps a head start in cultivating highlands again,” he says. Culd that be why we have Swiss milk chclate tday instead f Nrwegian chclate? “Culd be,” Miller says, with a chuckle. Actually, it turns ut that the Swiss did invent milk chclate a decade r tw after the glaciers started t give way t mre pastureland (牧场), s the st idea is nt an entirely crazy idea.
But Miller learns a much bigger lessn frm understanding hw st and dust can bring abut quick changes t the wrld's glaciers. “Things that impact n the climate system in an abrupt way are the things that peple shuld be cncerned abut fr the future.”
47. The underlined phrase “g by” in Para.4 prbably means “_____”.
A. get back t B. lk fr
C. bey the rules f D. judge frm
48. It can be learned frm the passage that _____.
A. Alpine glaciers had melted befre industrializatin
B. snw n the Rcky Muntains melted faster because f dust
C. the melting f glaciers has nthing t d with human influence
D. Charles Dickens described glacial melt water in the Alps in his nvels
49. Miller mentined Swiss milk chclate t prve _____.
A. milk chclate was invented first in Switzerland
B. Swiss chclate was better than Nrwegian chclate
C. the Alpine flks didn't benefit frm rapid industrializatin
D. the melting f glaciers had a great impact n the life f the Swiss
50. What is the best title fr the passage?
A. Pllutin may have melted Alpine glaciers
B. Pllutin may have advanced Alpine glaciers
C. Pllutin may have raised temperatures in the Alps
D. Pllutin may have caused st t gather in the Alps

There is n questin that teenagers need rules, which is ften nt a difficult thing fr parents t give. What can be mre challenging is giving teenagers their freedm. It can be difficult t draw the line between the tw. Hwever, sme issues cannt be changed by discussin and require firm rules. Fr instance, rules shuld be established cncerning driving the family car.
I will admit that I have n prblem cming up with rules. T me they make life easier and they leave n rm fr questining. What can be mre difficult, hwever, is giving my teens their freedm. I guess there are really tw primary reasns fr this. One is that I smetimes am afraid t give them freedm. The secnd is that I'm nt always s sure what the freedm shuld be.
It helps that I have a husband with whm I can discuss these prblems. We talk abut them, give ur thughts and then we cme up with an agreement. Smetimes ne f us might be mre unwilling but we knw that there cmes a time when we really d have t learn hw t let g f the reins (缰绳) a bit.
If we try t make life have nthing but rules, we are mre likely t see ur teen's rebelling (反抗). They need t knw that while we d have certain expectatins, we als trust them t begin making their wn chices and decisins. Hw else can they d that unless they are given the space and rm t d it?
It's really all abut balance and I will be the first t admit that it can be a challenge t carry ut. Hwever, it is a necessary part f grwing up. Yes, teens definitely need rules but they als need freedm.
31. Accrding t the first paragraph, it is difficult t decide .
A. whether the children need rules
B. whether the children shuld be given freedm
C. hw much freedm shuld be given t children
D. what issues require nn-negtiable rules
32. Accrding t the text, we can infer that the authr .
A. refuses t give her children freedm
B. finds it difficult t make rules
C. desn't have a gd relatinship with her children
D. has truble in giving freedm t her children
33. Accrding t the authr, nly rules withut freedm will make the children .
A. strng-willed B. rebellius C. weak D. independent
34. Which f the fllwing is TRUE accrding t the passage?
A. Rules are difficult t make fr parents.
B. Rules and freedm are similarly imprtant.
C. We shuld give children freedm as much as pssible.
D. Rules are mre imprtant than freedm.

If there ever was a study that peple shuldn't get t little sleep, it's this ne. Peple deprived (剥夺) f a gd night's rest are mre likely t experience changes in brain activity that can increase the urge t eat high-calrie fds.
Matthew Walker at the University f Califrnia in Berkeley and his clleagues cnducted the first study f brain activity in relatin t fd amng sleep-deprived peple. The team used fMRI (功能磁共振成像) t study brain patterns f 23 peple, first after a night f peaceful sleep and then after a night withut sleep.
Sleep deprivatin reduced activity in three areas f the brain that helps prcess flavr signals. It als led t mre activity in the amygdala (扁桃腺), which helps gvern the mtivatin fr eating. The team als fund that vlunteers cnsidered the pictures f high-calrie fds mre desirable after n sleep than after a gd rest.
When the researchers cmpared peple allwed t sleep as much as they wished with thse wh slept just tw-thirds f their nrmal time, they fund that sleep deprivatin had direct effects n eating behavir. “When peple were sleep deprived, they ate an extra 549 calries per day,” say the researchers.
“It may make evlutinary sense,” says Laurent Brndel at the University f Burgundy in Dijn, France. The lng summer days at higher latitudes deprive animals f sleep, but animals use their time awake t eat mre, which helps them get thrugh the shrt days f winter when there is nt enugh fd.
“That's nly part f the stry, thugh,” says Stephanie Greer, anther member f the team. The bdy des need mre energy if smene remains awake fr lnger, but the high-calrie fds that becme mre desirable after sleep deprivatin wuld mre than meet this additinal need. The changes in fd desirability encuraged by the sleep-deprived brain may riginally have been imprtant adaptatin but tday they n lnger benefit ur health.
Brndel agrees with this cnclusin. “Sleep deprivatin culd, by an unknwn mechanism, mdify the pleasant sensatin and change eating behavir,” he says. Whatever the mechanism is, there's ne clear message frm the study. “These findings prvide pprtunities t adjust ur behavir in new ways t handle such health issues,” says Greer. “Specifically, ur study indicates that ne chice peple can make is t regularly btain enugh amunts f sleep.”
35. Matthew Walker cnducted the study n sleep-deprived peple t _____.

Persnal grwth can be understd in a variety f ways. Type “persnal grwth” int a bk search and yu will find thusands f bks t chse frm t help yu reach yur full ptential. It's s easy t treat persnal develpment as smething that is ptinal and s few peple ever take the time t actively imprve themselves. On the ther hand, yu may have been develping as a persn, but never cnsider it as smething that can be named.
Persnal grwth and self-develpment are sme f the mst imprtant activities yu can d. Rather than regarding this as a selfish act, wrking n yurself t becme a better persn benefits thse arund yu, as well as thse in yur cmmunity and wrkplace.
Many f yur actins may already be fit fr “self-imprvement”. This self-imprvement, hwever, is mstly uncnscius and fr mst peple it's a case f pursuing “things” and “stuff” with the all-t-cmmn assumptin that when we get enugh stuff, we will be happy. Yu dn't have t search t far t find hw wrng this thery is.
Every day we read abut seemingly successful peple, thse wh “have it all” and find themselves in a chain f unhappy relatinships r life events, which sadly end in tragedy. Charles Atlas, the famus bdy builder, said, “True success lies in the develpment f the self.” This is a surprising philsphy (哲理) fr smene wh spent his life develping the physique (体格).
Materially, we may be wealthy r pr, but if yur inner life is nt fulfilled, yu will feel ut f balance with the rest f yur life and may try t make fr this by seeking substance elsewhere — alchl, ver-wrking, drugs and unhealthy relatinships.
What des my true self lk like when I take away my huse, car, etc.? Nte dwn yur gals as a persn. D yu recall what they were 10, 20, r even 30 years ag? Have they changed r gt lst n the way? Nw imagine yurself as an lder persn. What d yu want t lk like, sund like and feel like? Is this OK with yu r wuld yu like t change this picture? Answering these questins will give yu clues regarding where yu culd wrk n yur persnal grwth.
Persnally speaking, I see my wn persnal grwth as develping my creativity and spirituality, while building a healthy bdy as my 40s prgress. It sunds like a big task, but I break this dwn t bite-sized pieces, such as making sme specific changes in eating and exercise patterns, ging t a yga class, picking up ne f my many unused paintbrushes and just painting smething rather than taking an art schl curse, and suddenly that's achievable.
Set ut yur gals, first steps and plan f where and hw yu are ging t carry them ut. Get the supprt f a friend r family member t encurage yu and review yur prgress every three mnths r s t keep yu n track. Just start with small but meaningful changes that yu ntice, and if it feels strange, remember that change ften des. Remember yu're making these changes fr lng-term persnal gain, s it's quite natural t feel a little uncmfrtable at first, but be persistent, review yur plan and adapt. This is yur plan fr grwth, which can be changed and adapted t yur circumstances.
39. As fr the self-imprvement, .
A. mst peple d it well in their daily life
B. mst peple in fact regard it as a selfish act

B. He spares his time t take an art schl curse.
C. He imprves himself bth in creativity and spirituality.
D. He manages t cllect many secnd-hand paintbrushes.

We will ne day be able t talk t animals using cellphne-sized equipment, says a leading expert in animal behavir. Prfessr Slbdchikff is develping new technlgy that translates the calls f the prairie dg (草原犬鼠) and says the technlgy can be used t translate ther animals' “languages”. He als suggested that the technlgy culd ne day be imprved t enable humans t talk back t animals.
In an interview, Prfessr Slbdchikff explained he was using the new artificial intelligence (AI) sftware t recrd the calls f prairie dgs. He was then using the AI techniques t analyze the barks and translate them int English.
He explained that frm his research, he knew that prairie dgs warn ther members f the grup abut ptential dangers in great detail — even describing a threat as being “a thin, brwn wlf appraching quickly”.
The prfessr, wh had spent the past 30 years analyzing the behavir f animals, added, “I think the equipment we are develping will allw us t talk t ur dgs and cats. S the dg says ‘bark!' and the equipment analyzes it and says, ‘I want t eat chicken tnight.' Or the cat can say ‘mew', and the equipment says, ‘Yu haven't cleaned my litter bx recently.'” He predicted that it wuld take between five and ten years f wide-ranging research t get t this pint.
He believed that if such technlgy became a reality, it wuld change the wrld. Cnsider that 40 percent f all husehlds in America have dgs, 33 percent have cats. And cnsider that fur millin dgs are killed every year because f the prblems f behavir. Mst prblems are caused by the lack f cmmunicatin between animals and human beings. Human beings can't get acrss t animals what they expect, and animals can't get acrss t human beings what they are experiencing. If we had a chance t talk back and frth, the dg culd say, “Yu're scaring me.” And yu culd say, “Well, I'm srry, I didn't realize that I was scaring yu. I'll give yu mre space.”
“What I'm hping, actually, is that dwn the rad, we will frm partnerships with animals rather than explit (利用) them,” Prfessr Slbdchikff said. He added that many peple are afraid f animals r they have nthing t d with them because they dn't think that animals have anything t cntribute t their lives.
He says, nce peple are able t talk t animals, they will realize that animals are living, breathing, thinking beings, and that they have much t cntribute t peple's lives.
Previus attempts t help human understand animals include the BwLingual. The Japanese equipment claims t translate barks frm dzens f different breeds (品种) f dgs. The equipment was successful enugh t be brught t the American market. But reprts f the BwLingual's accuracy have been mixed, with ppular prduct-review website Epinins giving it a lw 1.5 star average. Later the same cmpany develped a fllwing prduct fr cats called Mewlingual althugh this was less successful.
43. Prfessr Slbdchikff is develping the new technlgy by .
A. recrding prairie dgs' barks with a tape recrder
B. talking t prairie dgs using cellphne-sized equipment
C. teaching prairie dgs t speak English via advanced sftware
D. recrding and analyzing prairie dgs' barks with AI technlgy
44. What des the underlined part “this pint” in the furth paragraph refer t?
A. Detailed analysis f animals' behavirs.
B. Effective cmmunicatin between dgs and cats.
C. Humans using the equipment t talk with dgs and cats.
D. Humans using AI technlgy t cmmunicate with all animals.
45. Accrding t the passage, Prfessr Slbdchikff expects peple t .
A. make full use f animals
B. treat animals as gd partners
C. experience what dgs must experience
D. cntribute a lt t the prtectin f animals

Glaciers in the Alps f Eurpe pse a scientific mystery. In a span f abut 50 years, sme f the biggest glaciers retreated mre than half a mile. But nbdy culd explain the glaciers' rapid decline.
Scientists trying t understand Eurpe's climate fr the past several hundred years have turned t the glaciers in the Alps because they kept recrds f temperature and precipitatin (降雨量) during that time.
“If yu lk back thrugh the 1600s and the 1700s, the glaciers were big and quite stable,” says Tm Painter. That's prbably because Eurpe was in a prlnged cld spell, knwn as the Little Ice Age. “And then arund the 1860s, the glaciers all started t retreat t the length that they had nt in the previus few hundred years,” he says.
Sme histrians think that retreat marks the end f the Little Ice Age. But there's a prblem: Eurpe didn't actually heat up until the 1910s r the 1920s. In fact, if yu g by just air temperature and precipitatin, the glaciers shuld have advanced, nt retreated. S why did the glaciers start t melt?
“It dawned n me that industrializatin was starting then,” Painter says. “We have these visins frm Charles Dickens and thers f that time — the mid-1800s — f a huge amunt f st (煤烟) being pumped ut int the atmsphere, nt just in England but in France and Germany and Italy.”
Painter's previus research has shwn that dust blwing nt the Rcky Muntains is making the snw melt much faster there because dark snw absrbs mre sunlight. He fund a recrd f st frm ice samples higher up in the muntains. And he thinks there was human influence.
“Industrial pllutin frm Eurpe wasn't blwing nt Iceland r Nrway, which remained cld and frsty,” says Giffrd Miller. “Maybe it gave the Alpine flks in Switzerland and the Italian Alps a head start in cultivating highlands again,” he says. Culd that be why we have Swiss milk chclate tday instead f Nrwegian chclate? “Culd be,” Miller says, with a chuckle. Actually, it turns ut that the Swiss did invent milk chclate a decade r tw after the glaciers started t give way t mre pastureland (牧场), s the st idea is nt an entirely crazy idea.
But Miller learns a much bigger lessn frm understanding hw st and dust can bring abut quick changes t the wrld's glaciers. “Things that impact n the climate system in an abrupt way are the things that peple shuld be cncerned abut fr the future.”
47. The underlined phrase “g by” in Para.4 prbably means “_____”.
A. get back t B. lk fr
C. bey the rules f D. judge frm
48. It can be learned frm the passage that _____.
A. Alpine glaciers had melted befre industrializatin

A. milk chclate was invented first in Switzerland
B. Swiss chclate was better than Nrwegian chclate
C. the Alpine flks didn't benefit frm rapid industrializatin
D. the melting f glaciers had a great impact n the life f the Swiss
