26、Populations of humpback whales (座头鲸) that live in different places can learn long, complicated (复杂的) songs from one another. Scientists at the University of Queensland, in Australia, focused on two populations of humpback whales, one by Australia’s east coast and the other off New Caledonia—a group of islands in the Pacific Ocean about 900 miles away. These populations may share feeding grounds or come across one another while moving from one place to another.

Only male whales sing. Their songs are known to be made up of a wide variety of different sounds arranged into patterns (模式) and can last for hours. The researchers listened to samples (样本) of male humpback songs from 2009 to 2015. They found out how complicated the songs were based on the number of sounds and how long the patterns lasted.

“The team found that the whales from New Caledonia were able to sing the same songs as the Australian whales without simplifying or leaving anything out,” said lead researcher Jenny Allen. This was true no matter how complicated the songs were. The whales also sang a different song each year. “It means humpback whales can learn a whole song pattern from another population very quickly,” Allen said.

It is not known for sure why male whales sing, but two possible reasons are to attract a mate or to warn other males to stay out of a private area. In addition to humpbacks, only a few other species of whales (blue, fifin, bowhead, and minke whales) sing.

Humpback whale numbers have been badly affected by hunting, which was stopped by law in the 1980s. Today there are thought to be about 40,000 humpbacks swimming in Australia’s waters, although scientists warn that the species still faces a number of threats in the wild. Allen said the study’s findings will aid efforts to save and protect humpback whales.

【1】Why did the researchers choose Australian whales and whales from New Caledonia?

A．They are quick learners.

B．They are good at singing.

C．They have the chance to meet.

D．They have the same living habit.

【2】What do we know about humpback whales in the study?

A．They could show where they came from through songs.

B．They attracted different species of whales through songs.

C．They increased sound numbers and pattern length every year.

D．They were able to learn each other’s songs exactly and quickly.

【3】What does Allen think of the study?

A．Easy.

B．Warning.

C．Meaningful.

D．Pioneering.

【4】What is the best title for the text?

A．Why male humpback whales can sing

B．Humpback whales prefer complicated song

C．How whales communicate with each other

D．Humpback whales learn songs from one another

27、When a staging of the famous Chinese opera “Farewell My Concubine” performed by the Shanghai Peking Opera Company (SPOC) sold out at Princeton University, Jianping Mei, a 1990 graduate, had a big idea. He wondered if there were enough Princeton students interested in studying Peking Opera in Shanghai.

Mei decided the most important requirement to join the pilot project would be a strong will to study traditional Chinese opera in Chinese, since all instruction would be in the Chinese language. He expected five students would be enough, but to his surprise, 19 students took up this challenge.

The program, which lasted about twenty days, was held in the studios of the Shanghai Peking Opera Company. Students’ daily study started with three hours of morning training in basic skills. Half of the group learned martial arts (武术), and half practiced water sleeves (水袖) dancing.

During the first week of training, afternoon periods focused on the important parts of Peking Opera performance: the music, characters, costumes (服装) and makeup. Over the following two weeks, the afternoon periods became scene study workshops, in which groups of two to five students worked together with teachers to prepare for the performance of an aria (唱腔), scene or dance from traditional Peking Opera.

After two weeks of study, Princeton students presented their martial arts and water sleeves dance movements on the SPOC stage. At the end of the third week, each of the six groups presented their scene on stage with the help of SPOC musicians. As a finale (终场), the Princeton students sang a famous Chinese pop song, “Friend,” to express their thanks to their teachers and hosts.

Teresa Irigoyen— Lopez, a member of the Class of 2019, described the experience, “It was really a hard task for me at first. I had to learn a new musical style in a new language! But becoming part of the experience and performing ourselves was really exciting. All our efforts were worth it!”

【1】If someone wanted to be in Jianping Mei S program, he or she must

A．be good at Chinese

B．be ready to learn things in Chinese

C．know something about Chinese opera

D．study Chinese at Princeton University

【2】What can we say about the program?

A．It started in 1990.

B．It lasted about three weeks.

C．It was held in Beijing.

D．It attracted few students at first.

【3】What did the students do after two weeks of study?

A．They joined a local night-study program.

B．They performed their scene with SPOC musicians.

C．They performed an opera version of the song “Friend”.

D．They presented the basic skills they’d learned on the SPOC stage.

【4】What did Teresa think of her experience?

A．Different but relaxing.

B．Unexpected and tiring.

C．Difficult but enjoyable.

D．Familiar and comfortable.

28、   At times you become friends in extraordinary situations with the most unexpected people. For many，the pandemic has led to new bonds of friendship being created.

Prema Malhotra, a resident of Ashok Vihar, has all plans set to celebrate Friendship Day. She says, “I started communicating with my neighbors over a game of Tambola and then we were playing it every day. Now, some of us even do video calls to entertain ourselves. Since we couldn't go out anywhere on Friendship Day, we played Antakshari, Tambola, while enjoying food and drinks from our own balconies.”

The pandemic has led to people becoming more social with their neighbors. “I am a final year student and due to my busy schedule, I never got the time to connect with people around me. Because of the pandemic, I have got to know a lot of my neighbors and I can so easily bond with them. I have made a new friend who lives next to my house and we're having close conversations. Initially, the conversations used to be about the pandemic and the increasing number of cases but gradually we started sharing thoughts about career goals and study,” says Harshiti Bharti, a resident of Shastri Nagar.

Echoing similar feelings, Ankita Singh, a resident of Malviya Nagar, says, “Due to my work schedule, I never had a chance to know many people in my building. After the lockdown was carried out, a WhatsApp group was created for communication. Through that group, we checked on the elderly people and their needs. I happened to connect personally with a few elderly people in my society and I felt really good. Singing songs and participating in various games led to the creation of new friendships during this time.”

The above examples indicate that from chatting and playing games from their balconies to providing necessities for the sick and needy while practicing self-isolation, neighbors have become new friends.

【1】What did Harshiti Bharti talk about with his neighbor at first?

A．Their study.

B．Their career goals.

C．The pandemic situation.

D．The other neighbors around them.

【2】What role did the WhatsApp group probably play during the pandemic?

A．Helping people in need.

B．Purchasing daily necessities.

C．Inviting elderly people to sing.

D．Instructing people in self-isolation.

【3】The passage mainly wants to tell us that________.

A．people create a new way to celebrate Friendship Day.

B．strict lockdown is effective in dealing with the pandemic.

C．neighbors communicate to kill time during the pandemic.

D．the pandemic makes people create new bonds with neighbors.

29、Festivals are celebrated all around the world. They have a wide range of origins, such as the seasons of the year, religions, famous figures, and important events. 【1】 However, no matter how different they may seem, all over the world, the spirit of sharing joy, gratitude, love, or peace is common in all festivals.

【2】 This important agricultural festival takes place after all the crops have beer gathered in. People celebrate to show that they are grateful for the year's supply of food In ancient Egypt, the harvest festival was celebrated during the springtime—the Egyptian harvest season. It featured a parade and a great feast with music, dancing, and sports During the Mid-Autumn Festival in China, families gather to admire the shining moor and enjoy delicious moon cakes.

Customs play a significant role in festivals. 【3】 The typical Chinese Spring Festival custom of lighting firecrackers is to drive away the evil spirits and celebrate the new year. Nowadays, many big cities have given up this custom in order to avoid air pollution. Another example is Halloween, which slowly became an exciting festival for children, in spite of its religious origins.

Today, online shopping and social media have made it much easier for the public to spend more on gifts for their loved ones in celebrating festivals. Should festival celebrations involve much money spending? Or is it good for the economy and public happiness? 【4】.

Festivals are an important part of society. They show people's wishes, beliefs, faiths and attitudes towards life. Festivals are occasions for us to relax and enjoy life. 【5】. And if you study festivals carefully, you may be surprised to find that different cultures actually have a lot in common after all.

A．But some festivals have disappeared.

B．However，some traditions can change over time.

C．Festivals are stories to tell us who we are and what to appreciate.

D．People usually get together to celebrate over a meal.

E．The harvest festival can be found in almost every culture.

F．Every festival has its different customs and unique beauty.

G．Anyway，festivals are becoming a big business.
