Pieter Bruegel’s icnic 1565 painting The Harvesters hangs at the Metrplitan Museum f Art. The wrk shwed peple harvesting wheat nearly as tall as they were. “Nwadays, hwever, if yu walk thrugh a wheat field, yu basically see that wheat is abut knee-height. The reduced height is essentially a cnsequence f breeding (培育)alng with genes fr increasing prductin t feed a grwing ppulatin,” bilgist De Smet explained.
De Smet says wheat is just ne example f hw histrical artwrk can allw us t track the transfrmatin f fd crps ver time. He teamed up with art histrian Vergauwen, a friend since childhd, t dcument such artwrk arund the wrld. They have been mainly lking at things where they can spt changes in shape, clr and size.
Their interest in plants in artwrk began with a visit t the Hermitage Museum, where they nticed an dd-lking watermeln in an early-17th-century painting. It appeared t be pale and white n the inside. Bilgist De Smet assumed the painter had dne a pr jb. But art histrian Vergauwen had a different idea. “N, this is ne f the best painters ever frm that era. S if he painted it like that, that’s the way it must have lked like,” he explained.
Other paintings revealed that bth red and white watermelns were grwn during the 17th century. “With all the genetic knwledge we nw have, we can lk in mre detail hw smething cmes abut,” De Smet said. “Fr example, until the 18th century, Eurpean strawberries appeared tiny in paintings-they then grew in size as they were crssbred with Nrth American varieties.”
Ultimately, the team hpes t create an nline research database f histrical plant artwrk. They seek the cntributins f art enthusiasts arund the wrld via the scial media. “Hwever,” Vergauwen reminds, “if yu’re ging t use, fr example, Picass t try and understand hw a pear lked in the early 20th century, yu might be misled.”
28. What can we learn abut the painting The Harvesters?
A. It shws hw peple successfully grew wheat.
B. It prves that wheat was much shrter in the past.
C. It explains the cnsequence f different breeding methds.

A. Their preference fr fd crps.
B. Their friendship since childhd.
C. Their divided views n an ld painting.
D. Their shared interest in Hermitage Museum.
30. What is the message frm Vergauwen in the last paragraph?
A. Art enthusiasts are nt careful enugh.
B. Abstract paintings ften mislead peple.
C. The surce paintings need t be realistic.
D. Picass’s paintings are hard t understand.

【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“Bilgist De Smet assumed the painter had dne a pr jb. But art histrian Vergauwen had a different idea. “N, this is ne f the best painters ever frm that era. S if he painted it like that, that’s the way it must have lked like,” he explained.”（生物学家德·斯梅特认为画家画得不好。但艺术史学家韦高文却有不同的看法。“不，这是那个时代最好的画家之一。所以如果他把它画成那样，那它肯定就是这样的。”他解释道。）故可推知，他们对一幅古画有不同的看法激发了研究团队开始他们的研究。故选C项。

【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章大意以及第二段中“De Smet says wheat is just ne example f hw histrical artwrk can allw us t track the transfrmatin f fd crps ver time.”（德斯梅特说，小麦只是历史艺术品如何让我们追踪粮食作物随时间变化的一个例子。）和最后一段中“Ultimately, the team hpes t create an nline research database f histrical plant artwrk. They seek the cntributins f art enthusiasts arund the wrld via the scial media.”（最终，该团队希望创建一个历史植物艺术品的在线研究数据库。他们通过社交媒体寻求世界各地艺术爱好者的贡献。）故可推知，这篇文章的目的是介绍粮食作物变化研究。故选D项。

When adult humans meet a baby, many can't help speaking in a higher-pitched (更高音的) and sing-sngy vice. This shift, knwn as parentese, is nt unique t humans. It has als been bserved in animals like mnkeys and grillas. Nw, scientists are adding ne mre species t that list: bttle-nse dlphins.

Fr babies, it might have smething t d with listening t Mum. T slve this mystery, researchers examined the sunds mther dlphins make.
Scientists studied 34 years’ wrth f recrdings f sunds made by 19 female bttle-nse dlphins. When the mther dlphins were near their yung, they cntinued t make their signature sunds, but at a higher frequency. They als used a wider range f frequencies than they did when their babies were nt nearby.
This discvery suggests that using these mdificatins, mther dlphins assist their yung in learning hw t prduce these calls themselves. Since baby dlphins ften spend sme years with their mthers befre living n their wn, it makes sense that this adaptatin wuld help them learn t cmmunicate. At the very least, the higher-pitched whistle likely gets the babies' attentin. “It's imprtant fr a baby t knw, ‘Oh, Mum's talking t me nw,’ ” says marine bilgist Janet Mann.
This kind f research culd help us understand hw language develped in humans. “It is abslutely essential t have basic knwledge abut ther species and hw they cmmunicate,” says Mann. “I wuld be really interested t see whether dlphins als change their sunds when interacting with babies f thers, which is what happens in humans.”
32. What d the underlined wrds “this mystery” refer t in paragraph 2?
A. Hw dlphins develp their unique sunds.
B. Why dlphins live and play in grups.
C. What aspects f intelligence dlphins pssess.
D. Whether dlphins can use parentese like humans.
33. Hw did the researchers carry ut their study f dlphins?
A. By recrding parent-child interactin frequency.
B. By analyzing mther dlphins' sund features.
C. By measuring the distance between parents and children.
D. By examining the speech rgans f mther dlphins.
34. What is a suggested reasn why dlphin mthers use parentese with their yung?
A. T express wrry and care. B. T teach them hunting skills.
C. T help them learn t talk. D. T distract their attentin.
35. Which f the fllwing can be the best title fr the text?
A. Sme new findings abut dlphin cmmunicatin
B. The value f studying dlphins’ language
C. A cmparisn f the parentese f humans and dlphins
D. An intrductin t the develpment f dlphin intelligence

词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“But hw des each cme up with its distinctive whistle? Fr babies, it might have smething t d with listening t Mum. T slve this mystery, researchers examined the sunds mther dlphins make.（但它们是如何发出独特的哨声的呢?对于婴儿来说，这可能与听妈妈的话有关。为了解开这个谜团，研究人员检查了海豚妈妈发出的声音。）”可知，海豚发出独特的声音与听到海豚妈妈的声音有关，所以为了解“海豚如何发出独特的声音”这个谜团，研究人员检查了海豚妈妈发出的声音。故划线词指的是“海豚如何发出独特的声音”。故选A。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Scientists studied 34 years’ wrth f recrdings f sunds made by 19 female bttlense dlphins.(科学家们研究了19只雌性宽吻海豚34年来的声音记录)”可知，研究人员通过分析母海豚的声音特征对海豚进行研究。故选B。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“This discvery suggests that using these mdificatins mther dlphins assist their yung in learning hw t prduce these calls themselves.(这一发现表明，利用这些变化，海豚妈妈帮助它们的孩子学习如何自己发出这些叫声)”可知，海豚妈妈对幼崽使用婴儿语的原因是帮助他们学会说话。故选C。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“When adult humans meet a baby, many can’t help speaking in a higher-pitched (更高音的), sing-sngy vice. This shift, knwn as parentese, is nt unique t humans—it has als been bserved in animals like mnkeys and grillas. Nw, scientists are adding ne mre species t that list: bttlense dlphins.(当成年人遇到婴儿时，许多人会情不自禁地用一种高亢的歌声说话。这种被称为“婴儿语”的转变并不是人类独有的，猴子和大猩猩等动物也有这种现象。现在，科学家们又增加了一个物种：宽吻海豚)”并通读全文可知，文章主要说明了海豚妈妈通过教授幼崽使用独特的声音来教会幼崽说话，解释了研究开展的经过以及研究的意义。因此推断A项“关于海豚交流的一些新发现”为最佳标题。故选A。
