26、the field of biomusicology, the study of the biological basis for the creation and appreciation of music, researchers present various evidence to show that musicmaking is at once an original human “business”, and an art from with skillful performers throughout the animal kingdom.The new reports stre
27、ss that humans hold no copyright on sound wisdom, and that a number of nonhuman animals produce what can rightly be called music, rather than random sound. Recent indepth analyses of the songs sung by humpback whales show that, even when their organ would allow them to do otherwise, the animals conv
28、erge_on_ the same choices relating to sounds and beauty, and accept the same laws of song composition as those preferred by human musicians, and human ears, everywhere.For example, male humpback whales, who spend six months of each year doing little else but singing, use rhythms similar to those fou
29、nd in human music and musical phrases of similar lengtha few seconds. Whales are able to make sounds over a range of at least seven octaves (八度音阶), yet they tend to move on through a song in beautiful musical intervals, rather than moving forwards madly. They mix the sounds like drums and pure tones
30、 in a ratio (比例) which agrees with that heard in much western music. They also use a favorite technique of human singers, the socalled ABA form, in which a theme is stated, then developed, and then returned to in slightly revised form.Perhaps most impressive, humpback songs contain tunes that rhyme.
31、 “This suggests that whales use rhyme in the same way we do: as a technique in poem to help them remember complex material,” the researchers write.28The underlined phrase “converge on” in Paragraph 3 probably means _.Atend towards Brefer toCturn into Dput forward29Which of the following shows the ad
32、vanced musical ability in humpback whales?AThey can remember complex material.BThey can create pleasing patterns of music.CThey can make sounds like drums continuously.DThey can sing along with rhythms of western music.30What is the main idea of the article?AAnimals are able to compose and enjoy mus

34、 Dexamine and assessDNo one is sure where and when the expression “applepie order” began. Its said that the housewives of New England liked to cut their apples in pieces.

35、 everything in its place. This perhaps explains why it is generally believed that “applepie order” began in New England.Another old expression, “apple of discord”, comes from ancient myth (神话), however. The myth says that all the gods and goddesses were sitting around the table to celebrate the marr
36、iage of Thetis and Peleus. One of the goddessesEris was a troublemaker. She threw a golden apple on the table to be given as a prize to the most beautiful goddess. It was not an easy decision to make. How could they choose among Hera, Athena and Aphrodite? Paris was given the task of deciding. He de
37、cided to give the golden apple to Aphrodite. Hera and Athena were very angry and threatened him. This, the myth says, began the long Trojan War.At one time, the tomato was called a love apple. That was a mistake. In the sixteenth century, Spain brought the tomato from South America. Spain then sold
38、the tomato to Morocco. Italian traders carried it on to Italy. The Italian name for the tomato was “pomo di Moro”apple of the Moors. When French growers brought it in from Italy, they thought “di Moro” meant “damour”the French word for love. And so “ pomo di Moro” became the apple of love.People bel
39、ieve many things about the apple. One belief is that it has great power of keeping people healthy. A very common expression is “An apple a day keeps the doctor away.”Another belief is based on fact. The expression is “One rotten apple spoils the barrel.” When an apple begins to go bad, it ruins all
40、the other apples around it in the box.
