The first time Terry attended a meeting f the Tahquamenn Sprtsmen's Club, they made him vice president—and he wasn't even a member. By his secnd visit, the few members left in the dying rganizatin had put him in charge f the whle thing.
The club began in the 1920s. Back then, hunting and fishing were pastimes in rural areas. The culture, hwever, is different nw. When Terry tk ver the century-ld club, it was n its last legs. Only a cuple dzen members remained, and mst were lder than its new 68-year-ld president. They were n lnger ding the things they'd been knwn fr. Wrst f all, their famus fishing tackle party had been canceled twice, nce just because they simply didn't have enugh members t pull it ff.
He wanted t push hard t keep the rganizatin ging, because it is ne f the things that make up the heart and sul f Newberry. He had t lk fr new members. He needed t braden the club's fferings t attract yunger peple. Mre than anything else, he had t make sure the tackle party fr kids tk place nce again.
Little by little, Terry's effrts wrked. Peple began asking abut memberships. Sme sent cntributins. Others ffered their time. A lcal cmpany dnated new siding fr the clubhuse. Smene else said they wuld put a new rf n it. Smene came and mwed the lawn (草坪) when it gt lng in the summer. Others cleared the snw in the winter. All ver twn, peple and businesses prmised t help the club survive and succeed.
On the day f the annual Kids Tackle Party, hundreds f kids and their families appeared. Terry started the event with a speech. A lcal fishing expert gave tips n hw t catch fish. Then, ne at a time, each f the 245 kids was called by name, and every ne f them gt a fishing ple and a tackle bx. It tk mre than three hurs t get thrugh everyne wh shwed up. It was a big event, ne that came clse t dying, but was finally back.
Terry fught t keep the club and party fr kids, a lngtime traditin in the Newberry cmmunity, ging. Traditins are dying these days, but he was able t get peple t hld nt this ne.

In the 1970s, a grilla (大猩猩) knwn as Kk became wrld-famus when scientists taught her t use human sign language t cmmunicate with peple. There were numerus attempts in the mid-1900s t teach human language t nnhumans, such as Kk. But what we shuld have been thinking abut was their abilities t engage in cmplex cmmunicatin n their wn terms instead f trying t teach an animal t talk t us in human language.
Tday scientists are trying t figure ut hw living things already share infrmatin using their particular methds. This new field f study is knwn as digital biacustics, and it invlves using tls t understand the prductin f sunds and their effects n living things.
Scientists in this field are using sensrs, which are devices that pick up and recrd infrmatin n physical r chemical cnditins. Sme are als using artificial intelligence (AI) technlgy, an apprach that uses algrithms (算法). The same algrithms that we use in tls such as Ggle Translate t translate dcuments can als be used t find patterns in nnhuman cmmunicatin.
Jeremy f Tel Aviv University studied nearly tw dzen Egyptian fruit bats fr tw and a half mnths and recrded their vcalizatins. His team adapted a vice-recgnitin prgram t study 15,000 f the sunds. The algrithm matched specific sunds with specific things the bats were ding. Using this prgram, the researchers were able t classify mst f the bats' sunds. Jeremy and ther researchers have fund that bats have a much mre cmplex language than we previusly understd. Bats argue ver fd; they distinguish (区分) between genders when they cmmunicate with ne anther and they have individual names, r "signature calls".
That's a great example f hw AI is able t find these patterns frm infrmatin gathered by sensrs and micrphnes. AI reveals things that we can't hear with ur human ears alne because mst bat cmmunicatin happens abve ur hearing range, and because bats speak much faster than we d, we have t slw it dwn t listen t it. S we cannt listen like a bat, but ur cmputers can. And ur cmputers can als speak back t the bat by prducing specific patterns.
Digital biacustics is like an amazing hearing aid. It lets us listen t animals with bth ur digitally enhanced (增强的) ears and ur imaginatin. This is slwly pening ur minds nt nly t the wnderful sunds that nnhumans make, but t a fundamental set f questins abut the s-called divide between humans and nnhumans, as well as ur cnnectin t ther species. It's als pening up new ways t think abut prtecting living things and ur relatinship with the planet. It's pretty meaningful.
23. Regarding scientists' effrts t teach animals human language, the authr feels ____.
A . negative B . uncncerned C . uncertain D . supprtive
24. Scientists in digital biacustics are trying t study ____.
A . hw animals use different tls t share infrmatin B . hw animals are affected by the prductin f sunds C . hw animals are taught t talk in human sign language D . hw animals cmmunicate with ne anther using sunds
25. What can we learn abut AI applied in digital biacustics?
A . It pairs certain animals' sunds with their behavirs. B . It slws dwn animals' sunds within humans' hearing range. C . It adapts vice-recgnitin prgrams t analyze animals' sunds. D . It translates specific nnhuman sund patterns int human language.
26. Accrding t the passage, the authr may agree that ____.
A . animals can be classified accrding t their sund patterns B . scientists need t keep studying hw animals prduce sunds C . digital biacustics may inspire humans t rethink their relatinship with animals D . the fcus f digital biacustics shuld be the divide between humans and nnhumans
阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
Mst f us dn't have any memries frm the first three t fur years f ur lives. And when we d try t think back t ur earliest memries, it's ften unclear whether they are the real thing r just recllectins based n phts r stries tld t us by thers. The phenmenn (现象), knwn as "childhd amnesia", has been puzzling psychlgists fr mre than a century—and we still dn't fully understand it.
At first glance, it may seem that the reasn we dn't remember being babies is that babies dn't have a fully develped memry. But babies as yung as six mnths can frm bth shrt-term memries that last fr minutes and lng-term memries that last weeks. In ne study, six-mnth-lds wh learned hw t press a buttn t perate a ty train remembered hw t perfrm this actin fr tw t three weeks after they had last seen the ty. Preschlers can remember events that g years back.
Of curse, memry capabilities at these ages are nt adult-like. In fact, develpmental changes in basic memry prcesses have been put frward as an explanatin fr childhd amnesia. These basic prcesses invlve several brain regins and include frming, maintaining and then later retrieving (检索) the memry. Fr example, the hippcampus, thught t be respnsible fr frming memries, cntinues develping until the age f seven. The typical bundary fr the ffset f childhd amnesia—three and a half years—changes with age. Children and teenagers have earlier memries than adults d. This suggests that the prblem may be less with frming memries than with maintaining them.
But this des nt seem t be the whle stry; language als plays a rle. Frm the ages f ne t six, children prgress frm the ne-wrd stage f speaking t becming fluent in their native language(s), s there are majr changes in their verbal (言语的) ability that verlap with the childhd amnesia perid. This includes using the past tense, and memry-related wrds such as "remember" and "frget".
It's true t sme extent that a child's ability t verbalize abut an event at the time that it happened predicts hw well they remember it mnths r years later. One lab grup cnducted this wrk by interviewing yung children brught t accident and emergency departments fr cmmn childhd injuries. Thse ver 26 mnths, wh culd verbalize abut the event at the time, recalled (回忆起) it up t five years later, while thse under 26 mnths, wh culd nt talk abut it, recalled little r nthing.
Even if we can't clearly remember specific events frm when we were very yung, their accumulatin, hwever, leaves lasting tracks that influence ur behavir. The first few years f life are frgettable and yet pwerful in shaping the adults that we becme.
27. Accrding t the passage, childhd amnesia refers t ____.
A . inability t recall early childhd experiences B . difficulty children have frming memries C . cncern abut the truth f early memries D . lss f memry abilities in the childhd
28. What d the wrds "verlap with" underlined in Paragraph 4 prbably mean?
A . Have a lt in cmmn with. B . Happen at the same time as. C . Play an imprtant rle in. D . Are clsely related t.
29. What may the results f the interview mentined in Paragraph 5 suggest?
A . Children start t frm lng-term memries at 26 mnths. B . Children's ability t recall specific events increases with age. C . Preverbal memries may be lst if they are nt translated int language. D . Injuries prbably influence hw well children verbalize abut events.
30. Which wuld be the best title fr this passage?
A . Childhd amnesia: Hw memry wrks in kids B . The brain and memry: Hw memries are frmed C . Verbal ability: Why it matters in the memry prcess D . The frgtten childhd: Why early memries disappear
