8、g museums.BAttending concerts.CAdmiring waterfalls.DWatching puppet shows.I became aware of my stutter (结巴) when I was around 9, in the fourth grade. I began to see how other people viewed me. When the teacher asked the whole class questions, I never raised my hand though I knew the answer, because
9、I knew I would stutter. Some kids would tell me that I talked funny, ask why I didnt talk normally, or laugh at me. As soon as that started to happen, I became more introverted (内向的).It wasnt until the summer of 2015, before freshman year at high school. All my friends and my parents encouraged me t
10、o join the high school football team. I owed much to them, especially Coach Lane who taught me how to play football. He took the time-and had the patience-to actually teach me what to do, how to do it and how to understand the concepts of play.In junior year, I started my first game for the high sch
11、ool team. I had a very good season and in January 2018, I signed the University of North Carolina. The older we get, the more of an understanding we have about the world and other people. So the first time my teammates in college heard me talk and heard that I stuttered, they did not say a thing. Th
12、at was a big deal to me because I was so used to people making comments. My teammates actually tell me to slow down because talking faster causes me to stutter more. Its really helped me develop confidence.Whenever I go back home to Georgia, I volunteer with children at my church, including those wh
13、o have learning disabilities. I like to do that to inspire them with confidence. I had confidence issues when I was a kid because of my stutter, so I just dont want them to have to go through what I did. In the future, I would like to start a foundation to give back to people who stutter and create
14、a program where kids all across the world who have a stutter can have a safe space.4Why did NOT the author raise his hand in class?AHe didnt know the answer.BHe was too shy to speak in public.CHe was upset about kids comments.DHe showed no interest in the question.5What was one cause of the authors

17、fants (婴儿) as young as two months old.Rebecca Saxe, a professor of brain and cognitive sciences at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and her colleagues scanned 42 infants ranging in age from two to nine months using a special functional magnetic resonance (磁共振) imaging (fMRI) helmet designe
18、d specifically for babies. Data from 16 of the infants had to be thrown out because it is extremely difficult to keep them happy, still and awake for long. For the 26 remaining infants, the scientists compared activity in visual areas of the brain while they watched 2.7-second video clips that descr
19、ibed faces, body parts, landscapes, and other objects. Results showed more activity in the areas of the brains visual system that are specialized for recognizing faces, bodies and scenes than areas for other observed objects.Theres every reason to think that babies are born expecting and looking for
20、 their most important social partners, Saxe says. Something in their brain makes them interested in faces actually before theyve had any experience with faces at all. Babies look toward face-like images from hours after birth.Other researchers are not convinced by Saxes conclusions. I dont believe t
21、hat there are face patches present at birth, Livingstone says. He views experience and learning are essential for the development of the FFATo Kalanit Grill-Spector, a psychology professor at Stanford University, the most exciting part of the new paper is not about this question of learned versus in
22、born development. I think the study is kind of attempting to address this question, but it doesnt really provide a perfect answer one way or another. What impressed me is the amount of babies that theyve scanned and with a lot of new innovations in baby fMRI, she says. Thats going to push the field
23、forward.8Why were the data from the 16 infants abandoned?ABecause the infants didnt watch the video clips.BBecause the infants made no response to the objects.CBecause the infants couldnt focus on objects for some time.DBecause the infants were unwilling to wear helmets for long.9How did the researc
24、hers get the results?ABy listing figures.BBy asking questions.CBy analyzing reasons.DBy making comparisons.10Which statement would Rebecca Saxe probably agree with?AInfants can process facial patterns and give them meaning.BSpecialized areas for recognizing faces are present at birth.CSome abilities

26、ople can imagine, but even there, the effects of a changing climate are playing out. Now, research suggests that many of the regions most sensitive bird species are starting to evolve in response to warming.Birds are often considered sentinel（哨兵）species-meaning that they indicate the overall health
27、of an ecosystem-so scientists are particularly interested in how theyre responding to climate change. In general, the news has not been good. For instance, a 2019 report by the National Audubon Society found that more than two-thirds of North Americas bird species will be in danger of extinction by
28、2100 if warming trends continue on their current course.For the new study, researchers collected the biggest dataset so far on the Amazons resident birds, representing 77 non-migratory species and lasting the 40 years from 1979 to 2019. During the study period, the average temperature in the region
29、rose, while the amount of rainfall declined, making for a hotter, dryer climate overall. According to the report on November 12 in the journal Science Advances, 36 species have lost substantial weight, as much as 2 percent of their body weight per decade since 1980. Meanwhile, all the species showed
30、 some decrease in average body mass, while a third grew longer wings.Because of the studys long time series and large sample sizes, the authors were able to show the morphological（形态学的）effects of climate change on resident birds. However, the researchers themselves are unsure and wonder what advanta
31、ge the wing length changes give the birds, but suppose smaller birds may have an easier time keeping cool. In general, smaller animals have a larger rate of surface area to body size, so they dissipate more heat faster than a bigger animal. Less available food, such as fruit or insects, in dryer wea
32、ther might lead to smaller body size.12Why are scientists fond of doing research on birds?AThey have small body sizes.BThey are sensitive to hot weather.CThey live in an undisturbed rainforest.DThey are ecological balance indicators.13What can we learn from the new study?AA third of species have bee
33、n extinct for a decade.B36 species lost 2%of their body weight every year.CTwo-thirds of species showed a considerable decrease in weight.DAbout 26 species responded to climate change with longer wings.14What does the underlined word dissipate in the last paragraph mean?APut off.BGive off.CPut away.
34、DGive away.15What would probably the researchers further study?AWhy it is easier for smaller animals to keep cool.BWhat effects the wing length changes have on birds.CWhy the Amazonian birds have lost substantial weight.DWhether bird species in North America will be extinct in 2100.二、七选五Crossing the
