文章主要介绍了一项新发现——和尚鹦鹉有与人类一样的“声纹”，可以在群体中识别彼此。

13. Parrots consistently top the charts of the world’s smartest animals. A new discovery published by the Royal Society Open Science reveals to us what sets the intelligent individual monk parakeet (和尚鹦鹉) apart in a group.
Previously, it was thought that these birds introduced themselves to others with a sort of “catchphrase” that distinguished their identity. However,after running the vocalizations (发声) collected in this study through a machine learning program, a team led by Simeon Smeele, a doctoral student at Aarhus University in Denmark, found that the birds actually had “voiceprints” like humans that identify themselves in the group.
The researchers studied thousands of monk parakeet vocalizations from hundreds of birds in Barcelona across two years and ran these recordings through the program that identifies small differences in their calls.
“The voiceprint is the underlying quality of a voice that you can recognize in humans, and this is the first time that has been shown in another vocal learner,” Smeele said. For example, the voiceprint of your father is how you know it’s his voice, even if he isn’t present. “This is what I think could explain how they recognize each other, because it can be stable over very long periods of time.” he added.
“This shows that these birds also have that sort of information that they might be using in their complicated social interactions,” said Emily Du V al, Ph.D., a behavioral ecologist at Florida State University. “Research into animal communication has the potential to motivate the public into action to conserve animals. Recognizing who each other is and understanding how they interact with one another are important for human life,” she said.
This model can potentially be applied to other animals with vocal recognition like bottlenose dolphins, bat s and elephants. Future research will look into whether these voiceprints are recognized by all parakeets in the community or only a circle of close relatives.1. What helps the monk parakeets recognize each other?
A ．The catchphrase.
B ．The intelligence.
C ．The voiceprint.
D ．The communication.
2. How did the researchers conduct the study?
A ．By combining “catchphrase” with “voiceprints”.
B ．By keeping track of the monk parakeets’ relatives.
C ．By collecting vocalizations and identifying their differences.
D ．By comparing humans’ voiceprints with monk parakeets’.
3. What will the future study focus on?
A ．The information that voiceprints can express.
B ．The potential influence that voiceprints can bring.
C．The animals among which voiceprints are identified.
D．The range where parakeets’ voiceprints are recognized.
4. What can be the best title for the text?
A．Mon k Parakeets Are Great Vocal Learners
B．Mon k Parakeets Resemble Humans in Communication
C．“Voiceprints” Are Found in Animals’ Social Interactions
D．“Voiceprints” Help Monk Parakeets Identify Themselves

文章主要介绍几处美国国家公园最好的露营地。

15. Best Campgrounds in U.S. National Parks
Gold Bluffs Beach Campground, Redwood National & State Park, CA
The remote campground is located about 6 miles up unpaved Davison Road. This is a small campground, though, with only 26 sites. So you’ll need to book your site well in advance. As far as facilities go, there are solar showers, barbecues and fire pits, picnic tables and food lockers-more
than enough for a remote camping adventure. Note that the first part of Davison Road is very steep and winding. Large RVs(房车)are prohibited on this road.
Nightly rate: $35
Watchman Campground, Z ion National Park, UT
There are five different loops(圈): Loop A and B have electric campsites, while the C and D are tent-only. Loop E is where the group sites are. Note, however, that this campground is extremely popular. Reservations are absolutely recommended from March through November. The off-season, on the other hand, offers first-come, first-served camping.
Nightly rate: $30 for an electric site; $20 for a tent-only site
Piñon Flats Campground, Great Sand Dunes National Park, CO
As an International Dark Sky Park, Great Sand Dunes is also a great place to see the Milky Way and amazing views of North America’s tallest sand dunes. It is popular among children and adults alike. Renting a sled or sand board for an afternoon of fun —you’ll feel like a kid again. Sites can accommodate both RVs and tents.
Nightly rate: $20
Painted Desert, Petrified Forest National Park, AZ
It’s a fantastic place to put up a tent. This is free camping, wild camping. The only thing you have to do to camp there is to get a permit in person at the Painted Desert Visitor Center. Once you’re a mile from the trail head, you’re free to set up tents wherever you want. Remember to obey the Leave No Trace principles, though! Of course, there are no facilities in this desert wilderness. So, you’ll need to pack everything you need, from water and food to other supplies.

16. How a T eacher Can Change Your Life
Smiling with satisfaction, Karin Anderson continues to conduct while dozens of students were playing their instruments, and Gustav Mahler’s Fifth Symphony fills the hall. The emotional (情感的) drama of conducting an orchestra (管弦乐团) of teenagers is part of a typical day’s teaching for Karin. “Teaching is like surfing,” she says. “Y ou have no idea what’s going to happen and there’s no guarantee that things will go according to plan. Y ou have to be on guard at all times.” But the unpredictability of her students doesn’t make her job hard, she says. In fact, working with sometimes difficult teenagers, which she says might exhaust other teachers, is what keeps her coming back day after day.
Karin believes music lessons may have unexpected benefits. Research has found that they improve a child’s language development, and the reasoning skills extremely important to maths and science. “We can’t be sure if music really makes kids perform better academically, or if smarter students just naturally become involved with music anyway, but there might be a connection. Certainly, schools need something for those brighter students. It’s not so much giving them a release from studying hard, but more that they need to be stretched, and pushed in a different direction.”
But the benefits of music education are for everyone, not just the clever kids. Karin points out that there are strong connections between music and the motivation to learn, the ability to focus, and even someone’s confidence and tolerance.
Music can also help to create a positive, supportive learning environment, which Karin always tries to create in her orchestra. Being grouped by age, not ability, makes everyone new feel welcome and part of a family. “In school you’re very aware of social classes—the rich kids and the poor kids—and all the little groups that gossip all the time,” says orchestra member Laura Greene. “But in the orchestra, everyone is part of the group, and equally important. We’re all trying to improve together. We’ve all got unique talents.”
In Karin’s classroom, there are no awards decorating the walls. She says this might put the orchestra under pressure or make them worry about competition, though in fact the school has won many prizes, which she is clearly proud of. “What’s most important to me is that everyone works as a team,” she says. “It’s a magic moment when there’s absolute unity.”
Karin wants the orchestra to widen the horizons of everyone who joins. When some parents weren’t able to afford certain trips of the orchestra, Karin surprised everyone by organizing what she called “scholarships”, with the school paying part of the money to students who had been positive and cooperative. They weren’t awarded on the basis of who had a special gift for music.
In her office, Karin proudly displays a picture of another student. Karin says, “Thomas was smart, but he hated school, and he seemed cut off from his peers, alone in a world of his own. The orchestra made him come out of his shell.” After graduating, Thomas wrote to Karin, “I’m so grateful to you for allowing me to play the most beautiful music in the world, even though I never took it up professionally. I understand now that music educates the mind and the heart, and helps you to connect with others.”
1. What is Karin’s attitude to teaching music?
A．It is emotionally tiring.B．It is about controlling the class.
C．It requires careful preparation.D．It gives wonderful surprises.
2. What does Karin think of music lessons?
A．They serve the needs of problem students.
B．They are more beneficial for smart students.
C．They are more rewarding than people thought.
D．They mean a lot for students’ academic work.
3. Which of the following would Karin agree with?
A．Teamwork is important in music lessons.
B．It is not worth making efforts for prizes.
C．Teachers should not ignore social classes.
D．Gifted students should have more chances.
4. What point does the example of Thomas support about music education?
A．It builds up self-confidence.B．It changes one’s attitude
C．It presents new challenges.D．It reduces academic pressure.
