Before birth,babies can tell the difference between loud sounds and voices.They can even distinguish their mother’s voice from that of a female stranger.But when it comes to embryonic learning（胎教），birds could rule the roost.As recently reported in TheAuk:Ornithological Adrances,some mother birds may teach their young to sing even before they hatch(孵化)。New-born chicks can then imitate their mom’s call within a few days of enering the world.
This educational method was first observed in 2012 by Sonia Kieindorfer,a biologist at Flinders University in South Australia,and her collcagues.Femake Australian superb fairy wrens were found to repeat one sound over and over again while hatching their eggs,When the eggs were hatched,the baby birds made the similar chirp to their mothers—asound that served as their regular “feed me!”call.
To find out if the special quality was more widespread in birds,the researchers sought the red-backed fairy wren,another species of Australian songbird.Firstthey collected sound datd from 67 nests in four sites in Queenslang before and after hatching,Then they identified begging calls by analyzing the order and numberof notes.A computer analysis blindly compared calls produced by mothers and chicks,ranking them by similarity.
It turns out that baby red-backed fairy wrens also emerge chirping like their moms. And the more frequently mothers had called to their eggs,the more similar were the babies’ begging calls. In addition,the team set up a separate experiment that suggested that the baby birds that most closely imitated their mom’s voice were rewarded with the most food.
This observation hints that effective embryonic learning could signal neurological(神经系统的)strengths of children toparents.An evolutionary inference can then be drawn.”As a parent,do
you investin quality children,or do you invest in children that are in need?”Kleindorfer asks.”Our results suggest that they might be going for quality.”

It is 6:00 am on the first day of the school year. In Cherrybrook Technology High School, mathematics teacher Eddie Woo is already at work.
One of the first things before the first bell rings is to set up his tripod(三脚架) and iPad in the middle of the classroom. This technology is Mr. Woo's core tool of the trade. "I'm Mr. Woo. I record my lessons. I record all of them. In fact, I'm about to record this one," he explains to his new maths class.
The unique approach to teaching mathematics has not gone unnoticed. Mr. Woo is arguably the most famous teacher in Australia - a maths teacher by day and an internet sensation(轰动) by night.
He started posting videos online in 2012 for a student who was sick with cancer and missing a lot of school. Other students in the class then wanted to watch Mr. Woo's videos on his free YouTube channel and website, so he started sharing them across the country and beyond. Wootube now boasts more than 38,000 subscribersc用户 ) and has attracted almost 4 million views worldwide.
Cherrybrook Technology High School principal Gary Johnson said Mr. Woo was helping address a standing shortage of maths teachers in Australia, and making maths popular again. “ He has an ability to simplify mathematics to a level where kids can really understand it," Mr. Johnson said.
12-year-old student Emily Shakespear said Mr. Woo's teaching style made maths irresistible. "I don't want to say it, but he sucked me into maths," she said. Owen Potter, who attends high school in Cobar, agreed. "It's difficult to understand how someone in Sydney can influence thousands of people across the whole country," he said.
Mr. Woo won the 2017 University of Sydney Young Alumni Award for Outstanding Achievement, and he was one of 12 Australian teachers honored at the Commonwealth Bank Teaching Awards.

"I am my paintings," says Vincent van Gogh, played by Willem Dafoe in a career-best performance, in Julian Schnabelˈs At Eternityˈs Gate, which follows the artist through his last turmoil (动荡骚乱) and astonishingly prolific years in the late 1880s in the south of France. Watching this film, you can believe it.
Schnabel is, of course, a famous artist as well as a powerful, if powerfully uneven, filmmaker, and what he captures here is what it must have been like to be Van Gogh. Itˈs an artistˈs imagining of what another artist might have felt. He never does break away from the romantic, madness-of-genius cliché(陈词滥调) that has been with so many movies and comments about Van Gogh. Instead, he accepts it because he believes it proves the turmoil that goes into creating great art. Of course, turmoil can also create bad art, but such is Schnabelˈs enthusiasm that I bought into the reality even though I think Van Gogh was a great artist despite rather than because of his mental pain.
I have a bit less sympathy for the ways in which the filmmakers got guess and frank mythmaking into the narrative. But the film comes to a great and sorrowing finish when we hear Vincentˈs words, "I thought an artist has to teach a way to look at the rest of the world. Not
anymore. Now I just think of my relationship with eternity. " One of the great achievements of this movie is that, in the end, Van Gogh's words enter into our soul with the same force as the paintings.
1. Who starred in At Eternity's Gate?
A. Vincent van Gogh. B. Julian Schnabel.
C. Willem Dafoe. D. Robert Gulaczyk.
2. What do we know about Julian Schnabel?
A. He tries to break away from the traditional style.
B. He is as good an artist as a film maker.
C. His film is better than the previous ones.
D. He thinks turmoil creates bad art.
3. What can we know from the last paragraph?
A. The film ends happily.
B. Van Gogh figured out his relationship with eternity.
C. What Van Gogh said has a major influence on us.
D. The film teaches us a way to look at the rest of the world.
4. From which is the text probably taken?
A. An art textbook. B. An art magazine.
C. A movie advertisement. D. A research paper.

The position of a car's fuel door (if you can actually remember where it is) remains one of the greatest unsolved motoring mysteries.
Do car company engineers draw straws (抽签) to decide what side of the car the fuel door goes on? No. According to Ford spokesman Mark Schirmer, as reported on the Allstate Blog, engineers are free to place fuel doors on the side of the car that offers the easiest packaging. And while one on each side would be rather convenient, we're not likely to see double fuel doors anytime soon—there's neither the room nor the demand for them.
"The placement of the fuel door is mainly a factor of fuel tank design, location, and underbody packaging," Nissan's Steve Yaeger told the Allstate Blog." With all of the structure and
components located underneath the vehicle, engineers would quickly encounter restrictions in trying to route the filler tube to the same side on every vehicle."
Schirmer says Americans prefer fuel doors on the left side of their cars, probably because it makes it easier for them to place their car's left fender close to the fuel pump. For this reason, itˈs possible that drivers in the U. K., Australia, New Zealand, India, and other countries who drive on the left side of the road favor a right-hand-side fuel door. But thereˈs nothing to confirm that driver preference is a factor. There are regulations about where the fuel door should be positioned, but these donˈt specify the right or left side of the car.
If you canˈt remember the location of your fuel door, simply look at the little diamond-shaped arrow on the fuel gauge (燃油量表) on your dashboard—it points to the side of the car where the fuel door is. Do it before you pull up to the pump, to avoid the embarrassment of having to get back into your car and drive to another pump.
1. Why don't all cars have gas tanks on the same side?
A. Engineers place fuel doors where they like.
B. Drivers ask for its position due to their driving habits.
C. It troubles engineers if they are on the same side.
D. There are regulations about which side it should be positioned.
2. Why do Americans prefer fuel doors on the left side?
A. They are left-handed.
B. Itˈs convenient for their fuel filling.
C. It is easier to place their carˈs right fender near the fuel pump.
D. There are many cars with a right-hand-side fuel door in America.
3. What does the underlined word "it" in the last paragraph refer to?
A. The fuel door. B. The fuel gauge.
C. The dashboard. D. The diamond-shaped arrow.
4. What is the best title for the text?
A. Tips to Identify the Location of the Fuel Door
B. The Popularity of a Right-hand-side Fuel Door to American Drivers
C. Reasons for Gas Tanks on Different Sides
D. The Motoring Mysteries

Practical ways to get motivated
Be mindful of your "why".
If I need to clean the floor, but I really don't like cleaning, then I won't feel very motivated to do it. However, if I have a big enough reason to do it—because I'm having some guests to come over, or I love the feeling of having a clean floor, then that "bigger purpose" can be strong enough to get me to act, even though I don't enjoy cleaning. If I stay mindful of why I'm doing it, I can get motivated to do it. (1)
Celebrate your successes.
It's easy to get down on yourself because you haven't reached your goal yet. You may overlook all of the hard work and small goals that you've accomplished. Remember to reward yourself and to celebrate your successes. (2) In the same way, how can you motivate yourself if you're not going to reward yourself and celebrate your successes?
(3)
Imagine how good you'll feel when you've reached your goal. Take a moment and think about how you'll feel and what you'll think after you've achieved it. What does it feel like? (4) Focus on that feeling, and use it to drive you right now to move towards your goal. Just think of how good it will be.
Get inspired.
Read stories, watch movies, listen to other people who have achieved what you want to achieve. Imagine what they had to go through to get to where they are. Imagine how big the heart is of some of your biggest heroes and how badly they wanted what they achieved. (5)
A. Imagine having already achieved it.
B. Get help and support when you're not feeling motivated.
C. So remind yourself of why you're doing what you're doing.
D. What kind of self-talk would you use to motivate yourself?
E. Let them inspire you to access your own great desire within.
F. You might feel proud, happy, satisfied, or any other emotion.
G. Would you be able to properly train a dog without rewarding him?

7. Today and every day we are the targets of salespeople, marketers, advertisers, fundraisers and politicians trying to persuade us to buy something, do something or think a certain way. Over the years, they've learned a lot about which features to build into a communication to increase its success. But, by concentrating on the message itself, they've missed a crucial component of the process. Research done in the last 15 years shows that the best persuasion is achieved through good pre-suasion: the practice of arranging for people to agree with a message before they know what's in it.
Pre-suasion works by focusing people's preliminary (开始的) attention on a selected concept—let's say softness—which encourages them to overvalue related opportunities that immediately follow. In one study, visitors to an online sofa store were sent to a site that illustrated either soft clouds or small coins in the background of its landing page. Those who saw the soft clouds were more likely to prefer soft, comfortable sofas for purchase, whereas those who saw the small amounts of money preferred inexpensive models.
A following study showed the pre-suasive mechanism. Subjects became three times more likely to help a researcher who "accidentally" dropped some items if, immediately before, they'd been exposed to images of figures standing together in a friendly pose. If this tripling of helpfulness doesn't seem remarkable enough, consider that the subjects were 18 months old—hardly able to reason or review or reflect.
Long before scientists started studying the process, a few notable communicators had an understanding of it.
In February 2015, the financial investor Warren Buffett had a problem. It was 50 years since he had taken control of Berkshire Hathaway Inc., guiding it to amazing levels of value, along with his brilliant partner Charlie Munger. Many investors were worried that, because
Buffett and Munger were getting older, these levels couldn't be maintained in the future, perhaps making it time to sell Berkshire stock.
To respond to these concerns, Buffett wrote a letter to shareholders in which he described various reasons for confidence in Berkshire's continuing profitability. But, before the description of strengths, he declared with characteristic sincerity that what he was about to state was "what I would say to my family today if they asked me about Berkshire's future." The result was a flood of favorable reaction to the letter as well as a per-share increase for the year of nearly five times that of the S&P.
With considerable success, practitioners of social influence have always placed persuasive prods (刺激)—small gifts, emotional draw, last-chance opportunities- inside their appeals. Perhaps because of that success, they've mostly missed an accompanying truth. For maximum impact, it's not only what you do; it's also what you do just before you do what you do.

Yesterday, Tom and I were walking down the street when we saw the old man fall off his bike. I suggested we carried the old man to hospital, and Tom did not agree. He had learned first aid, so I said that the old man mustn't be moving. We should leave him what he was and check him first. Seeing that the old man wasn't breathing, Tom asks me to call the First-aid Center and he used the mouth-to-mouth way make the old man breathe. Soon the old man began to move on a little and the doctors also arrived. They said what we had done were right.

【解析】1.根据第一段中的Today and every day we are the targets of salespeople, marketers, advertisers, fundraisers and politicians trying to persuade us to buy something, do something or think a certain way. Over the years, they've learned a lot about which features to build into a communication to increase its success.
“今天和每一天，我们都是销售人员、营销人员、广告商、筹款人员和政客的目标，他们试图说服我们买东西、做些什么或用某种方式思考。这些年来，他们已经了解了许多可以建立在沟通中以增加其成功的特征。”可知本文第一段首先说明了商业交流中的一些“现象”，phenomenon，“现象”，根据前面的冠词a可知此处要用名词单数。故填phenomenon。
2.根据第一段的内容Research done in the last 15 years shows that the best persuasion is achieved through good pre-suasion: the practice of arranging for people to agree with a message before they know what's in it.“过去15年的研究表明，最好的说服方法是通过良好的劝说来实现的：在人们知道信息内容之前，安排他们同意其中的内容。”可知，人们常常不知道“说服”别人的秘诀不在于信息本身，而在于信息传递之前的关键时刻。介词to之后的动词“说服”要用动名词形式。故填persuading 。
3.根据第一段的内容the practice of arranging for people to agree with a message before they know what's in it.“在人们知道信息内容之前，安排他们同意其中的内容。”可知，先入为主，就是一种人们在信息被传递前被迫“同意”的做法。be made to之后要用动词原形。subscribe to/consent to，动词短语，“赞同”。故填subscribe/consent。
4.根据第二段的内容In one study, visitors to an online sofa store were sent to a site that illustrated either soft clouds or small coins in the background of its landing page. Those who saw the soft clouds were more likely to prefer soft, comfortable sofas for purchase, whereas those who saw the small amounts of money preferred inexpensive models.“在一项研究中，一个在线沙发商店的访问者被送到一个网站，该网站在其登陆页面的背景中展示了软云或小硬币。那些看到软云的人更倾向于购买柔软舒适的沙发，而那些看到少量钱的人更倾向于便宜的型号。”可知，说到买沙发，顾客的“喜好”与他以前看到的背景有关。 名词所有格customers'之后要用名词；preference，不可数名词，“喜好，偏好”。故填preference。
5.根据第二段的内容 In one study, visitors to an online sofa store were sent to a site that illustrated either soft clouds or small coins in the background of its landing page. Those who saw the soft clouds were more likely to prefer soft, comfortable sofas for purchase, whereas those who saw the small amounts of money preferred inexpensive models.“在一项研究中，一个在线沙发商店的访问者被送到一个网站，该网站在其登陆页面的背景中展示了软云或小硬币。那些看到软云的人更倾向于购买柔软舒适的沙发，而那些看到少量钱的人更倾向于便宜的型号。”可知，当“面对”一些友好的图片时，被研究对象更倾向于对别人表示“赞同”。some之后要用名词，exposure to，“面临，曝光于”。故填exposure。
6.根据第二段的内容 In one study, visitors to an online sofa store were sent to a site that
illustrated either soft clouds or small coins in the background of its landing page. Those who saw the soft clouds were more likely to prefer soft, comfortable sofas for purchase, whereas those who saw the small amounts of money preferred inexpensive models.“在一项研究中，一个在线沙发商店的访问者被送到一个网站，该网站在其登陆页面的背景中展示了软云或小硬币。那些看到软云的人更倾向于购买柔软舒适的沙发，而那些看到少量钱的人更倾向于便宜的型号。”可知，当“面对”一些友好的图片时，被研究对象更倾向于对别人表示“赞同”。do sb. a favor/favour，固定短语，“帮某人一个忙”，就是说“赞同”了对方的暗示。故填favor/favour。
7.第五六段以Buffett的Berkshire公司的股票持有量的升降为例，说明先入为主的理论。因此此处的意思是：一个典型的“事例”。example/case，名词，“事例，例子”。根据前面的冠词a可知此处example/case要用单数。故填example/case。
8.根据第五段的内容It was 50 years since he had taken control of Berkshire Hathaway Inc., guiding it to amazing levels of value, along with his brilliant partner Charlie Munger. Many investors were worried that, because Buffett and Munger were getting older, these levels couldn't be maintained in the future, perhaps making it time to sell Berkshire stock.“自从巴菲特控制伯克希尔-哈撒韦公司，并将其价值引导到惊人的水平以来，50年过去了。许多投资者担心，由于巴菲特和芒格的年龄越来越大，这些水平在未来无法维持，或许是时候卖掉伯克希尔的股票了。”可知，“尽管”伯克希尔公司取得了成功，但投资者仍打算出售该公司的股票，对其持续盈利能力表示怀疑。despite，介词，“尽管”。故填Despite。
9.根据第六段的内容To respond to these concerns, Buffett wrote a letter to shareholders in which he described various reasons for confidence in Berkshire's continuing profitability.“为了回应这些担忧，巴菲特给股东写了一封信，描述了对伯克希尔持续盈利能力充满信心的各种原因。”可知，在“回应”这些担忧的信中，巴菲特向投资者表达了他的看法，并因此获得了所有的信任。句中 (9) to the concerns作定语，和letter是主动关系，respond“回应”要用现在分词，故填responding。
10.根据最后一段的With considerable success, practitioners of social influence have always placed persuasive prods—small gifts, emotional draw, last-chance opportunities-inside their appeals.“具有相当成功的社会影响力的从业人员总是在他们的诉求中放置有说服力的东西——小礼物、情感吸引、最后机会。”可知，从业人员要记住，先入为主可以增强影响力。介词of之后要用名词，influence，不可数名词，“影响”。故填influence。
42.【答案】 Yesterday, Tom and I were walking down the street when we saw (1) the old man fall off his bike. I suggested we (2) carried the old man to hospital, (3) and Tom did not agree. He had learned first aid, so (4) I said that the old man mustn't be (5) moving. We should leave him (6) what he was and check him first. Seeing that the old man wasn't breathing, Tom (7) asks me to call the First-aid Center and he used the mouth-to-mouth way (8) make the old man breathe. Soon the old man began to move (9) on a little and the doctors also arrived. They said what we had done (10) were right.
(1) 将the改为an；
(2) 将carried改为carry；
(3) 将and改为but；
(4) 将I改为he；
(5) 将moving改为moved；
(6) 将what改为where；
(7) 将asks改为asked；
(8) 在make前加to；
(9) 去掉on；
(10)将were改为was。
【解析】1.考查冠词用法。这里是第一次提到老人，所以用不定冠词，old以元音音素开头，所以用不定冠词an，故将the改为an。
2.考查虚拟语气。suggest建议，其后接的宾语从句的谓语动词用should+动词原形，should可以省略，故将carried改为carry。
3.考查并列连词。句意：我建议送老人去医院，……Tom不赞同。此处前后分句是转折关系，要用but，故将and改为but。
4.考查人称代词。此处是逻辑错误，根据前句He had learned first aid，所以此处是“他说”，故将I改为he。
5.考查被动语态。句意：他说老人一定不能移动。主语the old man和动词move之间是被动关系，要用被动语态，此处有情态动词must，所以被动结构是be+过去分词，故将moving改为moved。
6.考查状语从句。句意：我们应该让老人待在原处。根据句意，此处是where
引导的地点状语从句，故将what改为where。
7.考查动词时态。短文是一般过去时，故将asks改为asked。
8.考查动词不定式。句意：汤姆让我给急救中心打电话，他用嘴对嘴的方式让老人呼吸。根据句意，此处作目的状语，所以用动词不定式，故在make前加to。
9.考查不及物动词和介词。句意：老人开始稍微活动了。move活动，移动，此处是不及物动词，故去掉on。
10.考查宾语从句。what we had done是一件事，是第三人称单数，所以be动词用was，故将were改为was。
43.【答案】Dear Tina,
How are you? I am now back in China. I had a wonderful time in America, which I will always treasure.
First, I'd like to express my thanks for your hospitality and kindness when I was in America. It was so nice of you to show me around your school and introduce its history to me. Besides, the delicious food to which you treated me impressed me deeply. Your school is amazing in that it has not only a beautiful campus but also lively classes. Hopefully you can come to China some day and I have the chance to repay you in the same way.
