21. For poets, bird song is a beautiful expression of nature in full bloom. But for scientists, the chirps of birds are far more meaningful than just pretty sounds. Latest studies show the way that young birds learn to sing is similar to that of a human baby learning to speak.
"The question we're trying to answer is how a young bird learns its song," says Professor Michale Fee of MIT. Bird's creative, trial-and-error type of learning provides an ideal model for studying similar processes in humans. An example is how a baby's babble turns into the recognizable syllables of mama and papa.
Also the part of the brain that is involved in bird song is very similar to that of a human. So birds may have something to teach us about our own brains, Fee said.
The study shows that young birds like to create new and imperfect songs. Gradually, the youngsters' songs become less different and more similar to the sound of their parents. Scientists disabled part of a young finch's brain and stopped the learning in midstream. The bird still sings. But never learns the right songs.
Fee's team found that the part of the brain involved is called the anterior forebrain pathway. Its neurons produce random bursts that make the young bird make new sounds and compared it with that of their parents. They also find out that once a bird is old enough that part of the brain will be less active.
The study does not enable us to really understand the meaning of bird language. But Fee believes it will eventually be applied to human brain diseases, such as Parkinson's disease.

46. The subject discussed in the passage is _____.
   A. bird language
   B. how birds learn songs
   C. human brain diseases
   D. how birds create new songs
47. According to the scientists,        plays the most significant role in the learning process of young birds.
   A. the part of brain called anterior forebrain pathway
   B. the trial-and-error type of learning
   C. the example of their parents
   D. the creation of new and imperfect songs
48. Which of the following statements is NOT true?
   A. Birds learn to sing songs in a trial-and-error fashion.
   B. The study of bird song will enable us to understand bird language.
   C. The study of bird song might help find cure for human brain diseases.
   D. The chirps of young birds can be imperfect but creative.
49. It can be inferred from the story that _____.
   A. young birds are always making meaningless sounds
   B. if a bird had its anterior forebrain pathway damaged, it can never sing
   C. a bird can't live happily without its anterior forebrain pathway
   D. as a bird grows older, it may not learn new songs quickly
50. Parkinson's disease is mentioned here to _____.
   A. show how our brain works
   B. exemplify human brain disease
   C. explain how serious brain disease can be
   D. prove that human brain diseases are curable

22. For years scientists have been worried about the effects of air pollution on the earth’s natural conditions.Some believe the air inside many houses may be more dangerous than the air outside.It may be one hundred times worse.
Indoor air pollution can cause a person to feel tired,to suffer eye pain,headache and other problems.Some pollutants(污染物质) can cause breathing disorders,diseases of blood and even cancer.Most scientists agree that every modern house has some kind of indoor pollution.
People have paid more attention to the problem now.It is said that when builders began making houses and offices,they did not waste energy.To do this they built buildings that limited the flow of air between inside and outside.They also began using man-made building materials.These materials are now known to let out harmful gases.
As the problem became more serious,scientists began searching for a way to deal with it.They discovered a natural pollution control system for buildinggreen plants.Scientists do not really know how plants control air pollution.They believe that a plant’s leaves absorb(吸收；吸引) or take in the pollutants.In exchange the plant lets out oxygen through its leaves and small organizations on its roots.Scientists suggest that all buildings should have one large plant or several small plants inside for every nine square meters of space.Studies of different plants show that each absorbs different chemicals.So the most effective(有效的) way to clean the air is to use different kinds of plants.Having green plants inside your house can make it prettier and more healthy place.
24. Generally speaking,indoor air pollution may be more harmful than that outside because _______.
A．indoor air pollution can often make people seriously ill
B．man-made building materials give off dangerous gases
C．there may be more harmful gases outside the buildings
D．the flow of air indoors is limited,which is very harmful
25. The indoor air pollution is caused by _______.
A．the limit of the flow of air between inside and outside
B．the man-made building materials and the limit of air-flow
C．the building things that are made of man-made materials
D．the building way that the builders want to save energy
26. In the paragraph the word “absorb” may mean         .
A. give out       B. bring up       C. take in       D. turn up
27. The reason why we should use different kinds of plants to clean the air is that _______.
A．plants can absorb some kinds of harmful indoor chemicals
B．plants can make our houses prettier and more healthy
C．plants may take in more oxygen which people need
D．plants can let out all kinds of pollutants indoors
