18、ers report Guinea baboons, monkeys that live in West Africa, make five vowellike sounds similar to those used by humans. The findings back up a recent study showing Japanese macaques (a type of monkey) are also able to make some speech sounds. “It perfectly confirms our own results,” says William Te

19、cumseh Fitch, a biologist at the University of Vienna and the lead author of the macaque study. The discovery “provides more evidence that scientists have misunderstood monkeys vocal tract (聲道).” That mistake comes from a misunderstanding of the monkey larynx (喉部) the part in the throat where voice

20、is produced. “It was thought in order to make vowels, you had to have a low larynx (voice box), as humans do,” says Joel Fagot, a scientist at Aix-Marseille University in France and an author of the new study. Because monkey larynxes are set much higher than our own, scientists thought this differen

21、ce explained why monkeys could not produce vowels. Yet human babies with high larynxes can also pronounce vowels, a fact that perplexed Fagot and his colleagues. To find out, Fagot, his colleagues and the studys first author, Louis-Jean Boe from Grenoble Alpes University in France, recorded 1,404 ca

22、lls of 15 Guinea baboons. Their analysis of their calls shows that the baboons produced at least five different sounds that match vowels in the International Phonetic Alphabet (國際音標(biāo)). Thats quite comparable with many human languages, most of which have three to five vowels. The scientists also check

23、ed the vocal tracts of two baboons that died of natural causes. They found the monkeys tongues have the same muscles as human tongues. This shows they can make exact movements to form each vowellike sound. It is this ability to control the tongue, rather than the position of the larynx, that is key

24、to producing vowellike sounds. “This is extremely important research,” says John Esling, a language expert at the University of Victoria in Canada. 28.What can we learn about the two studies mentioned in the first paragraph? A. They both looked at baboons. B. They both met with doubts. C. They made

25、the same mistakes. D. They had similar discoveries. 29. What does the underlined word “perplexed” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Confused. B. Amazed.C. Encouraged. D. Attracted. 30. How do the baboons make vowellike sounds? A. Using their high larynxes. B. Using their low larynxes. C. Using their

26、lip muscles. D. Using their tongues. 31. What is the main purpose of the text? A. To compare human and animal languages. B. To report a study on animal speech. C. To explain monkeys vocal tract. D. To support research on vowels. DWhen baseball games start in America every spring, one April day is al

27、ways used to honor Jackie Robinson, the man who broke the color line of Americas national game. While his achievements on the baseball field were impressive, his efforts in the civil (公民的) rights movement, according to his wife Rachel Robinson, were equally important and often ignored.The spirited w

28、ay Jackie Robinson played baseball for the Brooklyn Dodgers could show his focus on civil rights. From the beginning of the “Great Experiment” of having African-Americans in baseball, he knew that his performance on the field would influence sports segregation (隔離). Jackie gradually changed jeers (嘲

29、諷) and shouts into cheers and acceptance because white audience could see his great talent (才能) from any seat in the stadium. Jackie became a highly respected figure by continually succeeding on and off the field.The vast amount of energy Jackie spent avoiding many unexpected difficulties could have

30、 caused an ordinary man to lose heart; rather, Jackie tried his best to increase his efforts for positive civil rights changes, both in his sport and in the African-American community at large. While many athletes today use their status (身份) to live as super stars, Jackie always made use of his stat

31、us to advance the civil rights movement. He often used his baseball travels as opportunities to speak publicly to blacks in U.S. cities about ending segregation and defending their rights. Post-baseball, Jackie became a businessman, but he still found time to write letters and telegrams to various U

32、.S. presidents during the civil rights movement. He had the status to demand that they too remain firmly focused on civil rights measures.Though Jackie Robinsons baseball achievements may be more widely known than his tireless efforts in the civil rights movement, his surprising courage on the baseb
