[2022·新高考Ⅰ卷]A

Human speech contains more than 2, 000 different sounds, from the common “m” and “a” to the rare clicks of some southern African languages. But why are certain sounds more common than others? A ground-breaking, five-year study shows that diet-related changes in human bite led to new speech sounds that are now found in half the world's languages.

More than 30 years ago, the scholar Charles Hockett noted that speech sounds called labiodentals, such as “f” and “v”, were more common in the languages of societies that ate softer foods. Now a team of researchers led by Damián Blasi at the University of Zurich, Switzerland, has found how and why this trend arose.

They discovered that the upper and lower front teeth of ancient human adults were aligned（对齐）, making it hard to produce labiodentals, which are formed by touching the lower lip to the upper teeth. Later, our jaws changed to an overbite structure（结构）, making it easier to produce such sounds.

The team showed that this change in bite was connected with the development of agriculture in the Neolithic period. Food became easier to chew at this point. The jawbone didn't have to do as much work and so didn't grow to be so large.

Analyses of a language database also confirmed that there was a global change in the sound of world languages after the Neolithic age, with the use of “f” and “v” increasing remarkably during the last few thousand years. These sounds are still not found in the languages of many hunter-gatherer people today.

This research overturns the popular view that all human speech sounds were present when human beings evolved around 300, 000 years ago. “The set of speech sounds we use has not necessarily remained stable since the appearance of human beings, but rather the huge variety of speech sounds that we find today is the product of a complex interplay of things like biological change and cultural evolution, ” said Steven Moran, a member of the research team.

1. Which aspect of the human speech sound does Damián Blasi's research focus on?

A. Its variety. B. Its distribution. C. Its quantity. D. Its development.

2. Why was it difficult for ancient human adults to produce labiodentals?

A. They had fewer upper teeth than lower teeth.

B. They could not open and close their lips easily.

C. Their jaws were not conveniently structured.

D. Their lower front teeth were not large enough.

3. What is Paragraph 5 mainly about?

A. Supporting evidence for the research results.

B. Potential application of the research findings.

C. A further explanation of the research methods.

D. A reasonable doubt about the research process.

4. What does Steven Moran say about the set of human speech sounds?

A. It is key to effective communication. B. It contributes much to cultural diversity.

C. It is a complex and dynamic system. D. It drives the evolution of human beings.

B

Scientists and researchers often find it challenging to get people interested in their work. How to raise awareness through the media is the subject of an article Eva Czaran, Malcolm Wolski and Joanna Richardson, all of Griffith University, Australia, in their paper published in Open Information Science.

The paper shows how difficult it is to tell the story of a research project well but suggests that the promotion of research through visual storytelling could be useful in many scientific attempts. To succeed, researchers must be supported by their institutions to develop storytelling skills and present them using visual media.

The paper presents a Four-Stage Media Development Model which features the key steps a researcher or a media professional must take when developing a media product. The model is simple. It includes checking, development, release and review. Checking involves thinking about what the researcher needs so the message can be kept simple. It includes identifying the audience, deciding which visual approach to take, showing what the research changes in the world and finding a story to tell about that research. Next is the development stage: writing and creating the film. Then a release date that makes sense for the project is chosen, and then eight months later the success of the project is measured and examined.

This model is very easy to put into practice, and it can be used to train researchers without requiring more funding.

“We believe that there is great potential to apply the model across various institutes and research studies. We were also impressed that the approach had already shown its positive impact on producing research funding from new sources, ” said Ian Birch, Director of ICT Strategy and Architecture at Auckland University of Technology.

“This video has brought direct interest in our work. I wouldn't change the process we used. It has really delivered, more than I dreamed it would, ” added Professor Sharyn Rundle-Thiele, Director of Social Marketing at Griffith University.

5. What is a must in order to apply this visual storytelling method?

A. Purpose-built visual media. B. Special training in storytelling skills.

C. The presence of a media professional. D. Open Information Science's permission.

6. What is the last stage of the Media Development Model?

A. To evaluate the project. B. To produce the whole film.

C. To decide on a release date. D. To publish the audience's reviews.

7. In Professor Sharyn Rundle-Thiele's opinion, this new method .

A. needs much improvement

B. will help produce research funding

C. should be tested in various institutes

D. is more effective than she previously thought

8. Which is the best title for the text?

A. Challenging People with Visual Storytelling

B. Influencing Scientific Research Through Storytelling

C. Improving the Impact of Research Through Storytelling

D. Promoting Media Development by Using Storytelling Skills

参考范文

Dear Lucy,

Knowing that you are attracted to Chinese history, I am writing to recommend you the book History of the Three Kingdoms to you.

Acknowledged as an exceptional book by Chen Shou, this book describes the history of nearly a hundred years from the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty to the beginning of the Western Jin Dynasty. I am convinced that it facilitates your learning Chinese. Besides, what impresses you most will be the influential heroes. Allowing for your poor Chinese, I insist that you choose an easy edition.

I sincerely hope you will enjoy this book.

Yours,

Li Hua

Ⅳ. 阅读理解

1. D

[解析]细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句中“...diet-related changes in human bite led to new speech sounds...”和第二段最后一句中“...how and why this trend arose.”可知, Damián Blasi的研究与人类语音的发展变化有关。

2. C

[解析]细节理解题。根据第三段第一句可知,要发出唇齿音（produce labiodentals）,上牙需要触碰到下嘴唇,而古人类的上门牙和下门牙是对齐的,这种下颌骨结构让他们很难发出唇齿音,所以选 C。

3. A

[解析]主旨大意题。上文提到人类语音及牙齿咬合的变化与新石器时代（the Neolithic age）农业的发展有关,而第五段主要说明了“一项语言数据库的分析也证实,在新石器时代之后,世界语言的发音发生了全球性的变化”,因此第五段主要为上文的研究结果提供证据。本段第一句中的 confirm（证实）是关键词。

4. C

[解析]推理判断题。根据最后一段可知, 人类的语音并不是一成不变的, 而是一个复杂的动态变化、相互作用的系统。

【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了人类语音的发展与农业的发展, 以及语音的变化与饮食结构的变化有着密不可分的关系。

5. B

[解析]细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句可知, 要想运用这种可视化的讲故事方法, 研究人员必须在所属机构的支持下通过训练习得其技巧。

6. A

[解析]细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句中的“then eight months later the success of the project is measured and examined”可知, 该模型的最后一步是对已成型的项目进行评估。

7. D

[解析]推理判断题。根据最后一段中Sharyn Rundle-Thiele教授所说的话可知, 用这个方法制作的视频使人们对科学家们的研究成果更感兴趣, 她不会更改他们目前使用的程序, 因为这一程序产生的效果比他们想象的好。由此可推知, 她认为这一新方法比她以前想象的更有效。

8. C

[解析]主旨大意题。总结全文内容可知, 本文主要介绍了通过可视化讲故事使科学研究影响更多人这种方法。第二段第一句中“the promotion of research through visual storytelling could be useful in many scientific attempts”是对文章中心思想的概括。

【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了通过可视化讲故事使科学研究影响更多人的方法。研究人员针对这一方法研制出了四步媒体开发模型, 并通过实践对其可行性进行了证实。
