1、阅读短文,从方框中选出合适的句子将短文补充完整。(有一项多余)
Humans love to give things names. We name our children, our pets and sometimes even our cars.
Research published in the journal Nature Ecology and Evolution has suggested that elephants give each other names and communicate using them.
That would make them the only other species known to do this.
Elephants communicate using a number of different sounds, including their famous trumpeting noise(喇叭声).
The researchers had a large number of elephant sounds that had been collected at two locations(地点) in Kenya.
They used machine learning to find out more about the noises they heard.
Michael Pardo, who led the study, said the research shows that elephants use specific calls for each different elephant.
However, they do it more often when they' re far away from each other and when adults are talking to young elephants.
Adults were also more likely to use names than their young.
The researchers also played elephant calls to a small group of the animals and said that when the elephants heard recordings of their family members calling their names, they responded(回应) quickly.
This was taken as evidence(证据) that the elephants recognized their own names.
A. The elephant is the biggest animal in the world.
B. This helped them identify 469 unique elephant "calls".
C. But according to a new study, we may not be the only ones.
D. But they also use other sounds that are so low that humans can't hear them.
E. And this suggests that name-calling may be a skill that has to be learned over time.
F. The researchers also found that elephants don't always use names while communicating.

Older trees have a major role to play in the fight against climate change, according to a recent study from the UK.
Researchers at the University of Birmingham have found that older trees respond to increased levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere by absorbing(吸收) more of it with increased wood production. Previously, it was thought that only younger trees could do this.
The scientists studied data from an experiment run by the University of Birmingham's Institute of Forest Research (BIFoR) in a forest in central England. This forest is mainly made up of oak trees that ▲ .
* To understand the impact (影响) of the changing climate on trees, scientists put a network of pipes (管道) in the forest that fed the area carbon dioxide. This created a local atmosphere(大气层) of increased carbon dioxide— something we might see everywhere if nothing is done to reduce global emissions.
After seven years of running the experiment, it was found that, a 40% increase in carbon dioxide levels, the trees had increased their production of wood by nearly10%.
Trees change carbon dioxide into oxygen, which they release into the air, and carbon, which is used to produce wood, leaves and roots.
Leaves and roots can die quite quickly, and when they do, they release carbon dioxide back into the atmosphere. Wood, however, acts as a long-term carbon store.
"The old forest is doing a huge amount of work for us, " an expert said. "What we definitely should not be doing is cutting it down. "
(1)、After absorbing more carbon dioxide, old trees will ____.A、get bigger B、get smaller C、die away D、get younger(2)、Which of the following can be put into ▲ in Paragraph 3?A、look beautiful and strong B、are over 180 years old C、look thin as well as high D、are over 5 meters high(3)、How did the researchers carry out the experiment?A、By taking some steps to make trees bigger and bigger. B、By reducing the amount of carbon dioxide in the forest. C、By increasing the amount of carbon dioxide in the forest. D、By putting pipes to absorb more carbon dioxide in the forest.(4)、What can we infer from the last two paragraphs?A、Carbon dioxide is bad for our health. B、Large wood stores a lot of carbon dioxide. C、Young trees absorb carbon dioxide better than old trees. D、When trees die, they won't be able to store carbon dioxide. -

Previous studies have suggested that dogs can smell stress in humans. And now researchers at the University of Bristol in the UK have found that our stress may cause dogs to be more pessimistic (悲观的).
Dogs were trained to recognize that a bowl placed in one location had food in it, and one placed in a different location was empty. Of course, the dogs quickly learned to go straight to the bowl that always had food in it!
But the researchers then placed new bowls in different locations between the original (原来的) two, and tested how quickly the dogs went to these bowls.
* According to the researchers, the more quickly the dogs went to each new bowl, the more optimistic(乐观的)they were that there was food inside.
The tests were then repeated with different human smells— each dog was exposed to either no smell, or samples of human breath or sweat.
The samples were taken from people who were either listening to relaxing sounds, or doing a math test, making them more likely to be stressed.
The "stressed" smells made the dogs slower to move toward the new bowl closest to the original empty one. This didn't happen when the dogs were exposed to "relaxed" smells.
According to the researchers, this could mean the dogs felt more pessimistic when they smelled stress, since their slow movement suggested that they were less likely to expect to find food inside the bowl.
Researcher Nicola Rooney said it's important to understand how human stress affects dogs in different situations— and to understand that our stress can even "travel through the air".
(1)、The researchers found our stress may make dogs more pessimistic using ____A、their knowledge B、a test C、two tests D、past experience(2)、What does the underlined phrase "was exposed to" mean in Paragraph 5?A、接触到 B、被要求 C、感兴趣 D、想得到(3)、In the writer's opinion, doing a math test usually makes people ____.A、surprised B、excited C、stressed D、relaxed(4)、What did the dogs' slow movement suggest?A、They would like to be more careful. B、They felt the stress from the smell. C、They didn't like the smell they smelled. D、They were becoming more relaxed.(5)、What is the best title for the passage?A、Human stress is able to travel through the air B、Dogs can tell whether humans are happy or sad C、Dogs are the animals with feelings and thoughts D、Human stress may make dogs more pessimistic -
