The study, conducted by neuroscientists(神經學家) and psychologist from the University of Maryland, concluded that women talked more because they had more of the Foxp2 protein. The research, published in the Journal of Neuroscience, found that higher levels were found among humans that were women but in rats that were males. Their findings came after it was previously claimed that ladies speak about 20,000 words a day— over 13,000 more than men. “This study is one of the first to report a sex difference in the expression of a languageassociated protein in humans or animals，” said Prof Margaret McCarthy, who led the study. In their study, the researchers attempted to determine what might make male rats more vocal than their female friends. They separated fourdayold rats from their mothers and then counted the number of times they cried out in the “ultrasonic (超聲波的) range”， the frequencies higher than humans can hear, over five minutes. While both sexes called out hundreds of cries, the males called out twice as often，they found. But when the pups were returned to their mothers cage, she fussed_over her sons first. Tests conducted on the parts of the brain known to be associated with vocal calls showed the male pups have up to twice as much Foxp2 protein as the females. The researchers then increased the production in the brains of female pups and reduced it in males. This led to the female rats crying out more often and their mothers showing more interest to them. In contrast, males became less “talkative”． The researchers then tested samples from ten children, aged between three and five, which showed that females had up to 30 percent more of the Foxp2 protein than males, in a brain area key to language in humans. “Based on our observations, we assume higher levels of Foxp2 in girls and higher levels of Foxp2 in male rats is an indication that Foxp2 protein levels are associated with the more municative sex，” said Prof McCarthy. “Our results imply Foxp2 as a ponent (成分)of the neurobiological basis of sex differences in vocal munication in mammals.” 1．From the second paragraph, we can learn that ________. A．women always speak more words than men B．men and male rats have low levels of language protein C．McCarthy isnt the first to find females more talkative D．women and male rats have similar levels of Foxp2 2．The underlined phrase “fussed over” in the third paragraph probably means ________.

A．Why women are the talkative sex B．Tests on humans and rats C．Sex differences in Foxp2 protein D．Foxp2 protein determines oral ability 答案與解析 1．C　推理判斷題。從第二段中Their findings came after it was previously claimed that ladies speak about 20,000 words a day...可知C項正確。 2．B　詞義猜測題。從畫線句句意可知B項正確。 3．C　細節(jié)理解題。從第二段最后一句In their study, the researchers attempted to determine what might make male rats more vocal than their female friends.可知C項正確。 4．A　標題歸納題。從全文內容可知A項正確。 Ⅱ.完形填空 It was Mothers Day and I was shopping at the local supermarket with my fiveyearold son, Tenyson.

Last month, I __2__(receive) an emial from my cousin Jack in Canada. He said he was enthusiastic about Chinas, and asked me to find me to find him some books __3__ (intend) for Chinese beginners. I was very pleased to do __4__ a favor. So I went from one bookstore to __5__， hoping to find something suitable for him. __6__ I selected a set of Chinese textbooks among a variety of similar ones. Then I went to a post office to have them __7__ (deliver) by air without delay. Several days later, I received Jacks email, __8__(say) that he really appreciated the books I had sent. Im very glad that Jack is beginning to learn Chinese just like many other foreigners abroad, __9__ I know it may be an __10__ (enjoy) challenge for him. 答案與解析 近年來，學習漢語成了全世界很流行的事情。上個月，我遠在加拿大的表弟寫信讓我給他買漢語書籍，打算開始學漢語。我轉了好多家書店才找到，然后給他寄了過去。盡管我知道那可能對他來說是一個挑戰(zhàn)，但我真的很高興他開始和其他外國人一樣學漢語了。 1．has　根據前面時間狀語in recent years 判斷句子應該用現在完成時，動名詞作主語，謂語動詞用單數形式。填has。 2．received　Last month 是表示過去的時間狀語，謂語動詞應用一般過去時，填received。 3．intended　從結構可知此處是形容詞短語做后置定語修飾名詞books, be intended for “為……設計的，或者打算的”，填形容詞intended。 4．such　根據上文內容判斷“I”樂意幫這個忙，指上文提到買書的事情，填such。 5．another　固定短語：from one...to another “從一個……到另一個”，填another。句意：于是我從一家書店到另一家書店。 6．Finally　根據上文內容可知作者一家書店挨一家書店地去找書，所以此處表示終于，最終的意思，填Finally。 7．delivered　此處是have＋賓語＋補語，them 指代買到的書，和動詞deliver 之間是被動關系，所以填過去分詞delivered。 8．saying　從結構分析此處是分詞做狀語，表示伴隨情況。動詞say和主語I之間是主動關系，應該用現在分詞，填saying。 9．although　根據句意可知前后句內容是讓步關系，填although。句意：盡管我知道那可能對他來說是一個挑戰(zhàn)，但我真的很高興他開始和其他外國人一樣學漢語了。 10．enjoyable　形容詞作定語。enjoyable令人愉快的。 Ⅳ.短文改錯 In recent years many flowers shops have been appeared in our small town. It is mon for people to buy flowers when they go to a gathering, visiting a sick friend, or attend a wedding. I still remember clear one day last year when Tom, disabled student, presented some flowers to his mother to express his gratitude to her. He owes his entire life to his mothers kind and care. With her he would not have had the confidence or the courage to fight her disability. As a result of the great effort what he had made, he was finally admitted to a key university. 答案 In recent years many shops have appeared in our small town.
