Befre birth, babies can tell the difference between lud sunds and vices. They can even distinguish their mther’s vice frm that f a female stranger. But when it cmes t embrynic learning(胎教),birds culd rule the rst. As recently reprted in The Auk: Ornithlgical Advances, sme mther birds may teach their yung t sing even befre they hatch(孵化). New-brn chicks can then imitate their mm’s call within a few days f entering the wrld.
This educatinal methd was first bserved in 2012 by Snia Kleindrfer, a bilgist at Flinders University in Suth Australia, and her clleagues. Female Australian superb fairy wrens were fund t repeat ne sund ver and ver again while hatching their eggs. When the eggs were hatched, the baby birds made the similar chirp t their mthers — a sund that served as their regular "feed me!" call.
T find ut if the special quality was mre widespread in birds, the researchers sught the red-backed fairy wren, anther species f Australian sngbird. First they cllected sund data frm 67 nests in fur sites in Queensland befre and after hatching. Then they identified begging calls by analyzing the rder and number f ntes. A cmputer analysis blindly cmpared calls prduced by mthers and chicks, ranking them by similarity.
It turns ut that baby red-backed fairy wrens als emerge chirping like their mms. And the mre frequently mthers had called t their eggs, the mre similar were the babies’ begging calls. In additin, the team set up a separate experiment that suggested that the baby birds that mst clsely imitated their mm’s vice were rewarded with the mst fd.
This bservatin hints that effective embrynic learning culd signal neurlgical(神经系统的) strengths f children t parents. An evlutinary inference can then be drawn. "As a parent, d yu invest in quality children, r d yu invest in children that are in need?"Kleindrfer asks. "Our results suggest that they might be ging fr quality."
58. The underlined phrase in Paragraph 1 means " ".
A.be the wrstB.be the best
C.be just as badD.be just as gd
59. What are Kleindrfer’s findings based n?
A. Similarities between the calls f mms and chicks.
B. The bservatin f fairy wrens acrss Australia.
C. The data cllected frm Queensland’s lcals.
D. Cntrlled experiments n wrens and ther birds.
60. Embrynic learning helps mther birds t identify the baby birds which .
A. can receive quality signalsB. are in need f training
C. fit the envirnment betterD. make the ludest call

A new cmmdity brings abut a highly prfitable, fast-grwing industry, urging antitrust(反垄断) regulatrs t step in t check thse wh cntrl its flw. A century ag, the resurce in questin was il. Nw similar cncerns are being raised by the giants(巨头) that deal in data, the il f the digital age. The mst valuable firms are Ggle, Amazn, Facebk and Micrsft. All lk unstppable.
Such situatins have led t calls fr the tech giants t be brken up. But size alne is nt a crime. The giants’ success has benefited cnsumers. Few want t live withut search engines r a quick delivery. Far frm charging cnsumers high prices, many f these services are free (users pay, in effect, by handing ver yet mre data). And the appearance f new-brn giants suggests that newcmers can make waves, t.
But there is cause fr cncern. The internet has made data abundant, all-present and far mre valuable, changing the nature f data and cmpetitin. Ggle initially used the data cllected frm users t target advertising better. But recently it has discvered that data can be turned int new services: translatin and visual recgnitin, t be sld t ther cmpanies. Internet cmpanies’ cntrl f data gives them enrmus pwer. S they have a "Gd’s eye view" f activities in their wn markets and beynd.
This nature f data makes the antitrust measures f the past less useful. Breaking up firms like Ggle int five small nes wuld nt stp remaking themselves: in time, ne f them wuld becme great again. A rethink is required — and as a new apprach starts t becme apparent, tw ideas stand ut.
The first is that antitrust authrities need t mve frm the industrial age int the 21st century. When cnsidering a merger(兼并), fr example, they have traditinally used size t determine when t step in. They nw need t take int accunt the extent f firms’ data assets(资产) when assessing the impact f deals. The purchase price culd als be a signal that an established cmpany is buying a new-brn threat. When this takes place, especially when a new-brn cmpany has n revenue t speak f, the regulatrs shuld raise red flags.
The secnd principle is t lsen the cntrl that prviders f n-line services have ver data and give mre t thse wh supply them. Cmpanies culd be frced t reveal t cnsumers what infrmatin they hld and hw much mney they make frm it. Gvernments culd rder the sharing f certain kinds f data, with users’ cnsent.
Restarting antitrust fr the infrmatin age will nt be easy. But if gvernments dn’t want a data ecnmy cntrlled by a few giants, they must act sn.
61. Why is there a call t break up giants?
A. They have cntrlled the data market.
B. They cllect enrmus private data.
C. They n lnger prvide free services.
D. They dismissed sme new-brn giants.
62. What des the technlgical innvatin in Paragraph 3 indicate?
A. Data giants’ technlgy is very expensive.
B. Ggle’s idea is ppular amng data firms.
C. Data can strengthen giants’ cntrlling psitin.
D. Data can be turned int new services r prducts.
63. By paying attentin t firms’ data assets, antitrust regulatrs culd .
A. kill a new threatB. avid the size trap
C. favur bigger firmsD. charge higher prices
64. What is the purpse f lsening the giants’ cntrl f data?
A. Big cmpanies culd relieve data security pressure.
B. Gvernments culd relieve their financial pressure.
C. Cnsumers culd better prtect their privacy.
D. Small cmpanies culd get mre pprtunities.

Old Prblem, New Appraches
While clean energy is increasingly used in ur daily life, glbal warming will cntinue fr sme decades after CO2 emissins(排放) peak. S even if emissins were t begin t decrease tday, we wuld still face the challenge f adapting t climate change. Here I will stress sme smarter and mre creative examples f climate adaptatin.
When it cmes t adaptatin, it is imprtant t understand that climate change is a prcess. We are therefre nt talking abut adapting t a new standard, but t a cnstantly shifting set f cnditins. This is why, in part at least, the US Natinal Climate Assessment says that: "There is n ‘ne-size fits all’ adaptatin." Nevertheless, there are sme actins that ffer much and carry little risk r cst.
Arund the wrld, peple are adapting in surprising ways, especially in sme pr cuntries. Flds have becme mre damaging in Bangladesh in recent decades. Mhammed Rezwan saw pprtunity where thers saw nly disaster. His nt-fr-prfit rganizatin runs 100 river bats that serve as flating libraries, schls, and health clinics, and are equipped with slar panels and ther cmmunicating facilities. Rezwan is creating flating cnnectivity(连接) t replace flded rads and highways. But he is als wrking at a far mre fundamental level: his staff shw peple hw t make flating gardens and fish pnds t prevent starvatin during the wet seasn.
Elsewhere in Asia even mre astnishing actins are being taken. Chewang Nrphel lives in a muntainus regin in India, where he is knwn as the Ice Man. The lss f glaciers(冰川) there due t glbal warming represents an enrmus threat t agriculture. Withut the glaciers, water will arrive in the rivers at times when it can damage crps. Nrphel’s inspiratin came frm seeing the waste f water ver winter, when it was nt needed. He directed the wasted water int shallw basins where it frze, and was stred until the spring. His fields f ice supply perfectly timed irrigatin(灌溉) water. Having created nine such ice reserves, Nrphel calculates that he has stred abut 200,000m3f water. Climate change is a cntinuing prcess, s Nrphel’s ice reserves will nt last frever. Warming will vertake them. But he is prviding a few years during which the farmers will, perhaps, be able t find ther means f adapting.
Increasing Earth’s reflectiveness can cl the planet. In suthern Spain the sudden increase f greenhuses(which reflect light back t space) has changed the warming trend lcally, and actually cled the regin. While Spain as a whle is heating up quickly, temperatures near the greenhuses have decreased. This example shuld act as an inspiratin fr all cities. By painting buildings white, cities may slw dwn the warming prcess.
In Peru, lcal farmers arund a muntain with a glacier that has already fallen victim t climate change have begun painting the entire muntain peak white in the hpe that the added reflectiveness will restre the life-giving ice. The utcme is still far frm clear. But the Wrld Bank has included the prject n its list f "100 ideas t save the planet".
Mre rdinary frms f adaptatin are happening everywhere. A friend f mine wns an area f land in western Victria. Over five generatins the land has been t wet fr crpping. But during the past decade declining rainfall has allwed him t plant highly prfitable crps. Farmers in many cuntries are als adapting like this — either by grwing new prduce, r by grwing the same things differently. This is cmmn sense. But sme suggestins fr adapting are nt. When the plluting industries argue that we’ve lst the battle t cntrl carbn pllutin and have n chice but t adapt, it’s a nnsense designed t make the case fr business as usual.
Human beings will cntinue t adapt t the changing climate in bth rdinary and astnishing ways. But the mst sensible frm f adaptatin is surely t adapt ur energy systems t emit less carbn pllutin. After all, if we adapt in that way, we may avid the need t change in s many thers.
65. The underlined part in Paragraph 2 implies .
A. adaptatin is an ever-changing prcess
B. the cst f adaptatin varies with time
C. glbal warming affects adaptatin frms
D. adaptatin t climate change is challenging
66. What is special with regard t Rezwan’s prject?
A. The prject receives gvernment supprt.
B. Different rganizatins wrk with each ther.
C. His rganizatin makes the best f a bad situatin.
D. The prject cnnects flded rads and highways.
67. What did the Ice Man d t reduce the effect f glbal warming?
A. String ice fr future use.
B. Prtecting the glaciers frm melting.
C. Changing the irrigatin time.
D. Pstpning the melting f the glaciers.
68. What d we learn frm the Peru example?
A. White paint is usually safe fr buildings.
B. The glbal warming trend cannt be stpped.
C. This cuntry is heating up t quickly.
D. Sunlight reflectin may relieve glbal warming.
69. Accrding t the authr, plluting industries shuld .
A. adapt t carbn pllutinB. plant highly prfitable crps
C. leave carbn emissin alneD. fight against carbn pllutin
70. What’s the authr’s preferred slutin t glbal warming?
A. Setting up a new standard.B. Reducing carbn emissin.
C. Adapting t climate change.D. Mnitring plluting industries.

Ppulatin Change
Why is the wrld’s ppulatin grwing? The answer is nt what yu might think. The reasn fr the explsin is nt that peple have been reprducing like rabbits, but that peple have stpped drpping dead like flies. In 1900, peple died at the average age f 30. By 2000 the average age was 65. But while increasing health was a typical feature f the 20th century, declining birth rate culd be a defining ne f the 21st.
Statistics shw that the average number f births per wman has fallen frm 4.9 in the early 1960s t 2.5 nwadays. Furthermre, arund 50% f the wrld’s ppulatin live in regins where the figure is nw belw the replacement level ( births per wman) and almst all develped natins are experiencing sub-replacement birth rate. Yu might think that develping natins wuld make up the lss(especially since 80% f the wrld’s peple nw live in such natins), but yu’d be wrng. Declining birth rate is a majr prblem in many develping regins t, which might cause catastrphic glbal shrtages f wrk frce within a few decades.
A great decline in yung wrk frce is likely t ccur in China, fr instance. What des it imply? First, China needs t underg rapid ecnmic develpment befre a ppulatin decline hits the cuntry. Secnd, if ther factrs such as technlgy remain cnstant, ecnmic grwth and material expectatins will fall well belw recent standards and this culd invite truble.
Russia is anther cuntry with ppulatin prblems that culd break its ecnmic prmise. Since 1992 the number f peple dying has been bigger than that f thse being brn by a massive 50%. Indeed fficial figures suggest the cuntry has shrunk by 5% since 1993 and peple in Russia live a shrter life nw than thse in 1961. Why is this ccurring? Nbdy is quite sure, but pr diet and abve all lng-time alchlism have much t d with it. If current trends dn’t bend, Russia’s ppulatin will be abut the size f Yemen’s by the year 2050.
In the nrth f India, the ppulatin is bming due t high birth rates, but in the suth, where mst ecnmic develpment is taking place, birth rate is falling rapidly. In a further twist, birth rate is highest in prly educated rural areas and lwest in highly educated urban areas. In ttal, 25% f India’s wrking-age ppulatin has n educatin. In 2030, a sixth f the cuntry’s ptential wrk frce culd be ttally uneducated.
One slutin is bviusly t imprt freign wrkers via immigratin. As fr the USA, it is almst unique amng develped natins in having a ppulatin that is expected t grw by 20% frm 2010-2030. Mrever, the USA has a track recrd f successfully accepting immigrants. As a result it’s likely t see a rise in the size f its wrking-age ppulatin and t witness strng ecnmic grwth ver the lnger term.
The birth rate in the 21st century may be much (71) ▲ than it was in the 20th.
It wuld be difficult fr develped cuntries t maintain the (72) ▲ f ppulatin.
Leaving aside the birth rate issue, India’s ecnmy may take ff when the cuntry achieves (78) ▲ f educatinal pprtunity.
The (76) ▲ death f Russians may result in a shrinking ppulatin, which wuld damage its ecnmic future. It wuld be better if it can change peple’s way f (77) ▲ .
T guarantee its ecnmic grwth, China needs t deal with the ppulatin issue prperly, as its wrkers are getting (75) ▲ .
