But a recent study suggests our ability to sleep is distinctly affected by the lunar cycle, even when taki

One rural community had no electricity access，a second rural community had limited access to ele
26、ctricity, while a third community was located in an urban setting and had full access to electricity.Participants in all three communities showed the same pattern of sleep oscillations(波动) as the moon progressed through its 29.5day cycle, with sleep duration changing by between 20 and more than 90 m
27、inutes, and bedtimes varying by 30 to 80 minutes.In each community, the peak of participants sleeping less and staying up later occurred in the threetofiveday period prior to full moon nights, and the opposite occurred on the nights before the new moon, the authors found.Unsurprisingly, data showed
28、the “lunar phase effect” on sleep appeared to be stronger the more limited access to electricity was.“The result strongly suggests that human sleep is synchronized(同步) with lunar phases regardless of ethnic and sociocultural background and of the level of urbanisation，” the researchers wrote in the

But it turns out that there are some forces of nature that we cannot get away from.”DerkJan Dijk, a professor of sleep and ph

33、e. C. Incomplete. D. Impressive.DHighpitched(高音的) and yet distinct，the sound of a voice calling the name “Amy” is unmistakable. But this isnt a human cryits the voice of a killer whale called Wikie.New research reveals that orcas(杀人鲸) are able to imitate human speech, saying words such as “hello”， “
34、one, two” and “bye bye”. The study also shows that the creatures are able to copy unfamiliar sounds produced by other orcas.Writing in the journal BiologicalSciences, researchers from institutions in Germany, UK, Spain and Chile, describe how they carried out the latest research with Wikie, a 14year
35、old female orca living in an aquarium(水族馆) in France.After first brushing up Wikies grasp of the “copy” command, she was trained to imitate three familiar orca sounds made by her 3yearold Moana. Wikie was then additionally exposed to five orca sounds she had never heard before, including noises soun
36、ding like a creaking(嘎吱响) door. Finally, Wikie was exposed to a human making three of the orca sounds，as well as six human sounds，including “hello”， “Amy”， “ah ha”， “one, two” and “bye bye”The team found that Wikie was often quickly able to copy the sounds, whether from an orca or a human, with all
37、of the novel noises copied within 17 trials. Whats more, two human sounds and all of the humanproduced orca sounds were managed on the first attemptalthough only one human sound “hello” was correctly produced more than 50% of the time on subsequent trials.The creatures are already known for their ab
38、ility to copy the movements of other orcas, with some reports suggesting they can also copy the sounds of bottlenose dolphins and sea lions after several trials.Scientists say the discovery helps to cast light on how different groups of wild killer whales have ended up with distinct accents, adding
39、weight to the idea that they are the result of imitation between orcas.()32. What is the authors main purpose in writing the text?A. To analyze orcas speech abilities.B. To highlight the conservation of the orca.C. To inform us of orcas ability to imitate sounds.D. To convince us of the intelligence
40、 of the orca.()33. Whats the main idea of the fourth paragraph?A. The process of the research. B. The outcome of the research.C. The purpose of the research. D. The significance of the research.()34. Which of the following was the easiest for Wikie to copy?A. The six human sounds. B. All the new orc
41、a sounds.C. Humanproduced orca sounds. D. Dolphin and sea lion sounds.()35. What may the discovery help explain?A. Why orcas imitate human speech.B. Why orcas have different accents.C. How orcas copy others movements.D. How orcas communicate with others.第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5 分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入

86、th is, gaining the ability to finish such a complex project is its own reward. Before you even begin planning, you have to become an expert in local building rules.

I know that doing something like this is not for everyone. It takes significant effort, years of hard work, and focus to keep going even when youre frustrated. But, like many things in life, the hardest path is the most worthwhile.
