21、Despite the fact that parrots are well known for their long lives and complex cognition(认知), it remains unknown whether the two features have influenced each other.

“The problem has been sourcing good quality data,” said Simeon Smeele, a doctoral student at the Max Planck Institute of Animal Behavior(MPI-AB), and lead author of the study that tried to solve this question.

Scientists from the MPI-AB and the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology(MPI-EvA)teamed up with Species 360 to collect data from over 130,000 individual parrots sourced from over 1,000 zoos to find the average lifespan(寿命)of 217 parrot species.

The analysis revealed an astonishing diversity in life expectancy, ranging from an average of two years for the fig parrot up to an average of 30 years for the scarlet macaw.

Next, the team tried to determine whether or not parrots’ famous cognitive abilities had any influence on their lifespans. Their results support the theory that increased brain size has enabled longer lifespans. Because brain size relative to body size can be an indicator of intelligence, the findings suggested that the parrots with larger brains were able to survive for longer in the wild.

The scientists were surprised that factors such as diet, or the greater developmental time required to develop larger brains, did not lead to longer average lifespans.

In the future, the team plan to explore if sociality and cultural learning in parrots might have also contributed to long lifespans. Smeele said: “Large-brained birds might spend more time socially learning foraging(觅食)techniques that have been around for multiple generations. This increased learning period could potentially also explain the longer life spans, as it takes more time but also makes the foraging techniques more adaptive.”

【1】What did the study aim to find out about parrots?

A．The diversity in their life expectancies.

B．The factors that influence their intelligence.

C．The features that help them survive in the wild.

D．The link between their cognition and lifespan.

【2】How did the researchers carry out their study?

A．By surveying over 1,000 zoos.

B．By examining parrots’ brains.

C．By analyzing the collected data.

D．By observing parrots’ behavior.

【3】Which is a possible cause of parrots’ long lifespans?

A．Their diet.

B．Their larger brains.

C．Their body size.

D．Their brains’ development time.

【4】What is the last paragraph mainly about?

A．Supporting evidence for the research results.

B．Further research based on current findings.

C．Potential application of the research findings.

D．A further explanation of the research methods.

22、Question: I have recently got a senior position within my company. One of my new tasks is to make monthly progress reports on my department in front of other senior officials. During my first meeting, I presented my ideas and then was open to questions.【1】. My first reaction was to answer defensively. Later, I realized that I shouldn’t feel that way. But how can I keep cool and effectively answer questions in this type of settings?

Answer: Congratulations on your new position! Presenting in front of your peers is a hard task in itself, and it becomes much more difficult when a question-and-answer period is required. Question and-answer periods are a great way to clarify the message and strengthen key points.【2】.

●【3】

When a person is asking a question, show interest and a desire to understand the question by listening and asking for clarification.

● Buy time.

When facing a hard question, most people can’t give an answer immediately. Buy time by repeating the question in your own words.【4】. These techniques allow you to quickly organize your thoughts as well as to make sure you will be correctly answering the question.

● Suggest a private meeting.

A one-on-one meeting is a calmer setting than speaking in front of your peers.【5】.

A．Here are some ideas that can help you prepare for your next meeting.

B．You may also ask for explanation on the question.

C．It can also be more effective in exchanging ideas.

D．There were many difficult questions.

E．Some ideas can be quite concrete.

F．Restate the question with respect.

G．Show your true interest.

23、   “YOU may smile, but it will come,” said Henry Ford in 1940, predicting the arrival of a machine that was part-automobile and part-aeroplane. For decades flying cars have obsessed technologists but eluded their mastery. Finally there is reason to believe. Several firms have offered hope that flying people in small pods for short trips might become a reality in the next decade. These are not cars, as most are not fit to drive on land, but rather small vehicles, which can rise and land vertically, like quiet helicopters.

There are at least a dozen firms experimenting with making small flying vehicles in different guises, including Airbus, an aerospace giant, in partnership with Italdesign Giugiaro, a division of Volkswagen, a carmaker. Many plan to have a certified pilot in command at the beginning and then move on to an autonomous set-up when regulations allow.

No matter which manufacturer is quickest to gain velocity, Uber, a ride-hailing firm, aims to be at the centre of things. On April 25th it held an event in Dallas to announce its plan to offer a service where people can hail an electric “vertical takeoff and landing” vehicle and ride it quickly to destinations that would otherwise take hours in heavy traffic. Uber does not want to build these aircraft or landing pads itself, just as it does not own its own cars. Instead, it plans to collaborate with other companies. But Jeff Holden, Uber’s chief product officer, does not exclude the possibility that the firm may at the outset own some aircraft, which he estimates will cost around $1m each.

The firm plans to have a prototype of its service ready by 2020. It will launch it first in Dallas and in Dubai, both cities where the authorities have deep aviation expertise and where people commute long distances. The firm rather optimistically promises that the cost per aerial mile for passengers will be roughly that of its low-cost car service, UberX.

There is plenty for manufacturers and services like Uber to overcome beyond gravity. For battery-powered models, range is limited and the charging rate remains slow. Manufacturers will need to ensure that vehicles can take off and land quietly, if this new form of transport is to stand a chance in cities. How to oversee and license the new aircraft, which are subject to much tougher rules than cars, will be a subject of intense debate among rule-makers, who tend to move slowly and are just getting to grips with drones. Drivers of flying vehicles are also likely to require a pilot’s license, albeit perhaps a simplified “sports” license. The journey ahead will be a long one.

【1】By “ eluded their mastery” ( paragraph 1) , the author means that ___________.

A.technologists were unable to make flying cars a reality.

B.Flying cars were what technologists knew well.

C.technologists found it feasible to produce flying cars.

D.flying cars used to be something too good to be true.

【2】What can be learned about Uber from the passage?

A.It is looking for some substitute for Uber X.

B.It doesn’t own any car or aircraft at present.

C.It has launched its flying car service in Dubai

D.It plans to cut down on passengers’ pay for rides.

【3】The phrase “ getting to grips with” ( in the last paragraph) is closest in meaning to ___________.

A.getting along well with

B.realizing the need to produce

C.becoming aware of the harm of

D.starting to take action to deal with

【4】According to the writer, what problem do manufacturers need to solve concerning flying cars?

A.The noise they may make

B.The high cost of its production

C.The lack of popularity among users.

D.The effect that they have on the environment.
