The research, published in the Journal of Neuroscience, found that higher levels were found among humans that were women but in rats that were males. Their findings came after it was previously claimed that ladies speak about 20, 000 words a dayover 13, 000 more than men. “This study is one of the first to report a sex difference in the expression of a languageassociated protein in humans or animals, ” said Prof. Margaret McCarthy, who led the study. In their study, the researchers attempted to determine what might make male rats more vocal(發(fā)聲的) than their female friends.They separated fourdayold rats from their mothers and then counted the number of times they cried out in the“ultrasonic(超聲的) range”， the frequencies higher than humans can hear, over five minutes. While both sexes called out hundreds of cries, the males called out twice as often, they found. But when the pups were returned to their mothers cage, she fussed_over her sons first. Tests conducted on the parts of the brain known to be associated with vocal calls showed the male pups have up to twice as much FOXP2 protein as the females. The researchers then increased the production in the brains of female pups and reduced it in males. This led to the female rats crying out more often and their mothers showing more interest to them. In contrast, males became less“talkative” .The researchers then tested samples from ten children, aged between three and five, which showed that females had up to 30 percent more of the FOXP2 protein than males, in a brain area key to language in humans.“Based on our observations, we assume higher levels of FOXP2 in girls and higher levels of FOXP2 in male rats is an indication that FOXP2 protein levels are associated with the more communicative sex，” said Prof. McCarthy.“Our results imply FOXP2 as a component of the neurobiological basis of sex differences in vocal communication in mammals. ” 4From the second paragraph, we can learn that _Awomen always speak more words than menBmen and male rats have low levels of language proteinCwomen and male rats have similar levels of FOXP2 proteinDMcCarthy isnt the first to find females more talkativeD解析： 細節(jié)理解題。 根據(jù)第二段中的“Their findings came after it was previously claimed that ladies speak about 20, 000 words a dayover 13, 000 more than men. ” 可知， McCarthy不是第一個發(fā)現(xiàn)女性話多的人， 故選D項。 5The underlined phrase “fussed over” in the third paragraph probably means“_” .Apaid attention to Brelated toCput pressure on Dcounted onA解析： 詞義猜測題。 根據(jù)第三段倒數(shù)第二句“This led to the female rats crying out more often and their mothers showing more interest to them.” 可知， “fussed over” 應與“showing more interest to” 意思相近， 故選A項“paid attention to”， 意為“關注”。 6The researchers carried out the experiments on rats in order to _Atest which part of the brain is key to language in rats and humansBprove the levels of FOXP2 protein in humans and rats are differentCdetermine the reason why female rats are more talkative than male ratsDdiscover the association between FOXP2 protein and vocal communicationD解析： 推理判斷題。 根據(jù)文章最后一段“Our results imply FOXP2 as a component of the neurobiological basis of sex differences in vocal communication in mammals.” 可推知， 實驗是為了證明“FOXP2 protein” 與“vocal communication” 之間的聯(lián)系， 故選D項。 7Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?ATests on Humans and RatsBWhy Women Are the Talkative SexCSex Differences in FOXP2 ProteinDFOXP2 Protein Determines Oral AbilityB解析： 標題歸納題。 根據(jù)文章的內容尤其是第一段“American researchers found females are the more talkative sex because of a special language protein(蛋白質) in the brain. ” 可知， 文章講的是女性之所以話多是因為腦部的一種特殊的“語言蛋白質”。 故B項最適合作為本文標題。 Unit 3Understanding each other(B卷).完形填空A Year of Living GratefullyI was in sunny California.

That means its a slow time for jewelers, and a good time for you to make a purchase. Whether youre out shopping for gold or silver, here are a few things you need to know：What determines price?The purity of the metal is one of the elements that determines the price. Gold purity is indicated with a stamp of 10K, 14K, 18K, or 24K. And different countries have their own standards. For example, for a piece to be considered gold in the US, it must be at least 10K. In Britain and Canada：9K. In Italy and France：18K. Anything over 18K is really too soft for everyday wear. Thats why jewelry stores in the US sell mostly 14K.How much can you expect to pay?That depends on the weight of the metal and the gemstone(寶石). So keep that in mind, especially when buying online. To keep yourself from getting_ripped_off,_ask yourself the following：How long has the company been around?What is its return policy?Is the jewelry featured on the website visible from all directions?Is the company transparent with the gram weights and the size of the gemstones?Yellow gold？White？Rose?Yes, its confusing, and while this is largely a personal decision, there are a few things to keep in mind. For starters, white or rose gold costs about 10% more than yellow gold. If you want the“l(fā)ook for less” , consider goldplated jewelry. “Gold plated” and “gold overlay” mean the same thing and guarantee a thicker layer of finish than“vermeil” which is a flash finish that is thinner and less consistent, but more affordable. Buy vermeil finished pieces you want for a season or two just to follow the fashion. For pieces you want to wear for lifetime, solid gold is the best.What about sterling silver(標準純銀)?Sterling silver has been an alternative for white gold during the difficult economy, and while it used to be more popular with just the younger these days it has much more mass appeal. So much so that retailers are now offering fine gemstones with silversomething you used to see only with gold.Keep in mind that in the US, the sterling silver standard is 92.5% real silver. Dont buy it if there isnt a “925” stamp on it. And keep in mind that the lower price youre paying for silver means more maintenance. To keep silver jewelry from becoming less shiny, consider keeping a piece of chalk in your jewelry box.【解題導語】 本文介紹了在金銀首飾的選購和保養(yǎng)方面的注意事項。 1According to the passage, the underlined phrase“getting ripped off” in Paragraph 3 probably means “_” .Abeing chargedBbeing cheatedCbeing affectedDbeing attractedB解析： 詞義猜測題。 根據(jù)畫線短語前面的“To keep yourself from” 和后面的“ask yourself the following” 可知， 為了防止我們被欺騙， 作者介紹了幾個注意事項， 故選B項。 2Which of the following is relatively good for only wearing a short time?AA 14K necklace.BA goldplated ring.CA pair of vermeil earrings.DA gemstone necklace.C解析： 細節(jié)理解題。 根據(jù)Yellow gold？White？Rose？中的倒數(shù)第二句“Buy vermeil finished pieces you want for a season or two just to follow the fashion.” 可知， 應選C項。 3We can infer from the last paragraph that silver jewelry should be kept _Ain a dry placeBin a cold
