People know animals do have feelings, but they are not sure if people can understand these feelings correctly. In recent years, scientists have studied about the feelings of cows, frogs and pandas. ________ It says that humans can tell whether a chicken is happy or sad by listening to its calls.
The researchers put a bowl behind a door. Inside the bowl, sometimes, there was something chickens love to eat, such as rice or insects. Sometimes, there was nothing. When the chickens saw food behind the door, they seemed happy and made fast and loud sounds. They are known as food calls. When there wasn’t food, the chickens made low and long noises to express *disappointment. The researchers recorded all these sounds and studied their waves.
Then the researchers chose 16 recordings of such chicken noises. Half were from the chickens seeing the food and half were from the chickens finding no food. The recordings were played to 194 volunteers. Sixty-nine percent of the volunteers correctly understood whether the chickens were feeling happy or not, and some of them even never take care of chickens.
The result shows that humans have the natural ability to understand the feelings of chickens. Hopefully, this finding can bring about new technology to help with chicken-raising, a big industry in many countries. Some scientists are already working on a smart computer program that can identify chickens’ feelings. This is good news for farmers who want to make the birds happier and healthier.
*The word “disappointment” means sadness because something hasn’t happened.
34. Which of the following can be put in “________” in Paragraph 1
A. Humans may not like animals. B. Scientists know nothing about it.
C. Nobody knows why this happens. D. A new study adds chickens to the list.
35. Which is most probably the sound wave of a happy call by a chicken
A B. C. D.
36. What is the best title for the passage
A. Chickens’ Food Calls B. Happy Chickens, Sad Chickens
C. Farmers’ Best Choice D. Smart Farmers, Healthy Farmers
C
Ma Baoli is a pilot of the Dalian Branch of China Southern Airlines in Northeast China’s Liaoning Province. He has won the name “poetic captain” because of his love for poems.
While flying over the Yellow River, he thinks of this poem:“① Do you not see the Yellow River come from the sky, rushing into the sea and never come back ” Above mountains, he recites (吟诵):“② The sun shines directly through the Xianglu Mountain just like purple smoke, I watch the distant waterfall hanging in front of the mountain.”
Sometimes he shares the poems with passengers through captains’ radio. “It’s amazing! It is impossible for the ancient poets to fly to such heights, and yet they wrote poems that perfectly described the beauty of nature,” says Ma. In early February, 2023, the 35-year-old man won first place in the Chinese Poetry Conference (《中国诗词大会》). This is his second time to take part in the show as a contestant since 2019.
Classical poetry has been with Ma since his childhood. For him, it is the most beautiful language in the world. “I like reading poetry in my spare time. Once I pick up a book of poetry, I can’t put it down. It’s a bit like those who can’t stop watching short videos on social media these days,” says Ma.
Ma was born in 1988 in a village in Xuzhou. His father, who worked hard to feed the family through farming and fishing, used to paint on the white walls of their house and write poems to match the paintings. “I enjoyed watching my father do these things and listening to him recite poems. The poems encouraged me to achieve the dream of reading ten thousand books and traveling ten thousand miles,” Ma recalls.
37. Which of the following are the most suitable titles for the underlined poems ① and ②
A. ①《将进酒》；②《早发白帝城》 B. ①《将进酒》；②《望庐山瀑布》
C. ①《登鹳雀楼》；②《题西林壁》 D. ①《登鹳雀楼》；②《望庐山瀑布》
38. In Paragraph 3, which of the following words has the same meaning as the word “competitor”
A. editor B. captain C. contestant D. accountant
39. From the last paragraph, why does the writer use the example of Ma’s father
A. To discuss how to write and enjoy poetry. B. To describe how Ma worked hard at his lessons.
C. To show how hard-working Ma’s father was. D. To tell the reasons why Ma enjoys poetry.

Dear Mary,
I’m glad you asked me for help to deal with your problems. I have had similar experiences before.
I think you should talk with your parents. You need to tell them that you also need friends. Meanwhile, you make a promise to study hard. I believe your parents will also understand you. In order to improve your academic performance, you should study hard and listen attentively during class, review carefully after class, and complete homework diligently. Secondly, you need to develop a study plan and complete it according to the plan. Thirdly, if you have any questions that you do not understand, you should ask your classmates and teachers for help. You need to take every problem you encounter seriously.
I hope my advice can help you
Tina
