26、r and inspired her to be the driven,young scientist that she is today.When Deka was eight years old,her mother got a job by studying hard back in school in order to support the whole family.That made Deka realize that education could make a difference to ones life.She spent a lot of time in the libr

33、schoolers seeking a cafeteria table at lunchtime.Perhaps theyre not so different.A new study,led by Damien Farine,an ornithologist who studies collective behaviour,shows that the vulturine 英语第 7 页（共 12 页）guineafowl of eastern Africa,like humans,have multilevel societies.In the past,scientists assume
34、d such social structures required a lot of brainpower.But the pea-brained guineafowl are revealing the faults in that assumption.These large birds wander across the landscape in packs,often walking so closely that their bodies touch.They may fight each other to maintain their strict hierarchies(等级制度
35、),but at other times they engage in friendly behaviours like sharing food.Suspecting the guineafowl might have a social structure,Dr.Farine and his colleagues began a thorough study of their society.For a whole year,they made daily observations of 441 birds.Coloured leg bands in unique combinations
36、let researchers tell the black-and-blue birds apart.They also attached GPS devices to the backs of 58 birds,which let them see exactly where every group went,24 hours a day.The findings of the research suggest that the vulturine guineafowl have a multilevel society.There are groups within groups wit
37、hin the population as a whole.There even seem to be groups of friends within the small groups.This is the first time anyone has observed such a society in a bird.And Dr.Farine emphasizes this particular birds tiny brain size:“They dont only have small brains relative to mammals(哺乳动物),they also have
38、quite small brains relative to other birds,”he said.According to him,living in this kind of society might actually make it easier to keep track of the social order.For example,if groups are stable and a bird can identify just one or two individuals within a group,it knows which group its looking atn
39、o need for a brain that can recognize every single animal.Multilevel societies also let animals adjust their group sizes based on whatever challenges theyre facing.Depending on what enemies or resources are around,it might make sense to travel in a combined group rather than a smaller one.“Having a
40、multilevel structure may not require having a large brain,”Dr.Farine said.There may be more birds and other animals out there that,although small-brained,have societies as many-leveled as our own.38According to the passage,what inspired Dr.Farine to carry out the study?AThe guineafowls social behavi

42、l systems can be a disadvantage to the guineafowl.BThe guineafowl are good at recognizing individuals in a group.CBirds maintain social order by travelling in combined groups.DSmall-brained animals can form multilevel societies.41What is the main purpose of the passage?ATo present the findings of a
43、study of the guineafowl.BTo explain the interaction patterns in multilevel societies.CTo introduce a new approach to observing the guineafowl.DTo uncover clues about how complex societies are formed.DFor several decades,there has been an extensive and organized campaign intended to generate distrust
44、 in science,funded by those whose interests and ideologies are threatened by the findings of modern science.In response,scientists have tended to stress the success of science.After all,scientists have been right about most things.Stressing successes isnt wrong,but for many people its not persuasive
45、.An alternative answer to the question“Why trust science?”is that scientists use the so-called scientific method.If youve got a high school science textbook lying around,youll probably find that answer in it.But what is typically thought to be the scientific methoddevelop a hypothesis(假设),then desig
46、n an experiment to test itisnt what scientists actually do.Science is dynamic:new methods get invented;old ones get abandoned;and sometimes,scientists can be found doing many different things.If there is no identifiable scientific method,then what is the reason for trust in science?The answer is how
47、 those claims are evaluated.The common element in modern science,regardless of the specific field or the particular methods being used,is the strict scrutiny(审查)of claims.Its this tough,sustained process that works to make sure faulty claims are rejected.A scientific claim is never accepted as true
48、until it has gone through a lengthy“peer review”because the reviewers are experts in the same field who have both the right and the obligation(责任)to find faults.英语第 9 页（共 12 页）A key aspect of scientific judgment is that it is done collectively.No claim gets accepted until it has been vetted by dozen
49、s,if not hundreds,of heads.In areas that have been contested,like climate science and vaccine safety,its thousands.This is why we are generally justified in not worrying too much if a single scientist,even a very famous one,disagrees with the claim.And this is why diversity in sciencethe more people
50、 looking at a claim from different anglesis important.Does this process ever go wrong?Of course.Scientists are humans.There is always the possibility of revising a claim on the basis of new evidence.Some people argue that we should not trust science because scientists are“always changing their minds
51、.”While examples of truly settled science being overturned are far fewer than is sometimes claimed,they do exist.But the beauty of this scientific process is that it explains what might otherwise appear paradoxical(矛盾的):that science produces both novelty and stability.Scientists do change their mind
52、s in the face of new evidence,but this is a strength of science,not a weakness.42How does the author think of the scientific method?A.Stable.B.Persuasive.C.Unreliable.D.Unrealistic.43What does the underlined word“vetted”in Paragraph 4 probably mean?A.Explained.B.Examined.C.Repeated.D.Released.44Acco
53、rding to the passage,the author may agree that _.A.it is not persuasive to reject those faulty claimsB.settled science tends to be collectively overturnedC.a leading expert cannot play a decisive role in a scrutinyD.diversity in knowledge is the common element in science45Which of the following woul
