Mountains are more than 500 meters tall and it’s not easy for plants to live on them. The wind is strong. The soil is thin and rocky. Which plants can live there? Come and see some of them.
Firs(冷杉)
Firs are evergreen(常青) tees. They always have green leaves. Their leaves look like needles(针). Firs are large trees. They can be 10 to 80 meters tall. Their trunks(树干) can be 0.5 to 4 meters wide. In many countries in Europe, people use firs as Christmas trees.
Cushion plants(垫状植物)
They look like a small cushion(垫子). They grow together and they are less than 30 cm tall. But they can be 3 meters wide. People also call the plants “ecosystem engineers”. That’s because many other plants live under them. Cushion plants keep the cold away. They make the soil inside soft and wet. In this way, cushion plants help other plants survive(生存).

Parrots have been known to mimic communicate（交流）? The sounds they make may sound meaningless to us, but new study has found that wild parrots are given names by their parents.
According to a study led by Karl Berg of Cornell University in the US, nestlings（雑鸟）are given a special sound of their own, which stays with them for their whole lives. In the study, the team put cameras in the nests of 17 different wild parrots. After studying their sounds, the team knew differences in the calls parents used to communicate with each nestling, And even before the nestlings had learned to communicate, the baby birds seemed to mimic their calls.
Sounds very similar（相似）to humans, doesn’t it?
The study also tells that these calls are got socially（社会上）, not genetically（基因上地）. To do this, scientists exchanged the eggs in nine of the 17 nests, so that half of the parrots were raising nestlings that weren’t theirs. The scientists found the nestlings all used names similar to those the parents（whether biological or non-biological）called them for the first week of their lives.
Lucie McNeil, from National Geographic, said, “this would be the first example of a non-human teaching acoustical（声学的）communication（交流）.” Lead scientist for the study, Karl Berg, told National Public Radio of the US, “Most people say, ‘Well, all those calls are just noise/ but I think they’re communicating? ”
Fox News also asked Berg what else the parrots might be saying. He answered, “It is that these birds are deciding where the food is – ‘Do we want to go 3 km North-Northwest?’ ‘Do we want to go to that field?’ They are arguing（争论）or discussing.”
Natural science author, Virginia Morell, wrote: “Slowly, scientists get to know the communications of very different animals.”
You never know, if the science of animals’ sounds keeps going, we may one day watch a real TV programme about parrots.
37. The underlined word “meaningless” in the first paragraph is ________.
A. meaningful B. useful C. unimportant D. helpful
38. What did the new study find about wild parrots?
A. They can talk by learning from people. B. The sounds they make are meaningless.
C. They have names given by their parents. D. They have a unique way of making sounds.
39. What does the study suggest?
A. Different parrots are called differently by their parents.
B. Baby parrots can tell who their biological parents are.
C. Baby parrots can mimic their biological parents’ calls better.
D. Parrots are the cleverest animals in communication.
40. Why did the scientists exchange the eggs in the study?
A. To see whether the parents could recognize（认出）their own babies.
B. To see whether the parrots made the same sounds all their lives.
C. To see whether the calls were got socially or genetically.
D To see whether biological and nonbiological parents named babies differently.

Why are people taking pictures of their faces, their hobbies and their food? Why do we capture (捕获) every moment? I can’t really give you an answer, because honestly, I am one of those people who take photographs of everything.

The most amazing thing for me is without question the ability to capture every single moment in my life with just a single click of a button. This helps me to remember every moment as it happens. We can connect to our past, no matter where we are and enjoy those memories that are most meaningful to us.
Photography is also an amazing tool to learn the world around us and to stay in the moment. There is more to this hobby than “just taking pictures”. It is a way to express your feelings, your drives (渴望) and also yourself. Photography is art (有艺术气息的) side, and take a picture of your next adventure!

Parrots have been known to mimic communicate（交流）? The sounds they make may sound meaningless to us, but new study has found that wild parrots are given names by their parents.
According to a study led by Karl Berg of Cornell University in the US, nestlings（雑鸟）are given a special sound of their own, which stays with them for their whole lives. In the study, the team put cameras in the nests of 17 different wild parrots. After studying their sounds, the team knew differences in the calls parents used to communicate with each nestling, And even before the nestlings had learned to communicate, the baby birds seemed to mimic their calls.
Sounds very similar（相似）to humans, doesn’t it?
The study also tells that these calls are got socially（社会上）, not genetically（基因上地）. To do this, scientists exchanged the eggs in nine of the 17 nests, so that half of the parrots were raising nestlings that weren’t theirs. The scientists found the nestlings all used names similar to those the parents（whether biological or non-biological）called them for the first week of their lives.
Lucie McNeil, from National Geographic, said, “this would be the first example of a non-human teaching acoustical（声学的）communication（交流）.” Lead scientist for the study, Karl Berg, told National Public Radio of the US, “Most people say, ‘Well, all those calls are just noise/ but I think they’re communicating? ”
Fox News also asked Berg what else the parrots might be saying. He answered, “It is that these birds are deciding where the food is – ‘Do we want to go 3 km North-Northwest?’ ‘Do we want to go to that field?’ They are arguing（争论）or discussing.”
Natural science author, Virginia Morell, wrote: “Slowly, scientists get to know the communications of very different animals.”
You never know, if the science of animals’ sounds keeps going, we may one day watch a real TV programme about parrots.
37. The underlined word “meaningless” in the first paragraph is ________.
A. meaningful B. useful C. unimportant D. helpful
38. What did the new study find about wild parrots?
A. They can talk by learning from people. B. The sounds they make are meaningless.
C. They have names given by their parents. D. They have a unique way of making sounds.
39. What does the study suggest?
A. Different parrots are called differently by their parents.
B. Baby parrots can tell who their biological parents are.
C. Baby parrots can mimic their biological parents’ calls better.
D. Parrots are the cleverest animals in communication.
40. Why did the scientists exchange the eggs in the study?
A. To see whether the parents could recognize（认出）their own babies.
B. To see whether the parrots made the same sounds all their lives.
C. To see whether the calls were got socially or genetically.
D. To see whether biological and nonbiological parents named babies differently.
【答案】37. C 38. C 39. A 40. C
【解析】

【40题详解】
细节理解题。根据“The study also tells that these calls are got socially（社会上）, not genetically（基因上地）. To do this, scientists exchanged the eggs in nine of the 17 nests…”可知，科学家在研究中变换了鹦鹉蛋是想看这些标志性的叫声是通过社交还是基因获得的，故选C。
