21、nds and voices.They caneven distinguish their mothers voice from that of a female stranger.But whenit comes to embryonic learning（胎教），birds could rule the roost.As recently reported in TheAuk:Ornithological Adrances,some mother birds may teach their young to singeven before they hatch(孵化)。New-born c
22、hicks can then imitate their moms call within a few days ofenering the world.This educational method was first observed in2012 by Sonia Kieindorfer,a biologist at Flinders University in SouthAustralia,and her collcagues.Femake Australian superb fairy wrens were found torepeat one sound over and over
23、 again while hatching their errs,When the errswere hatched,the baby birds made the similar chirp to their mothersasound thatserved as their regular “feed me!”call.Tofind out if the special quality was more widespread in birds,the researcherssought the red-backed fairy wren,another species of Austral
24、ian songbird.Firstthey collected sound datd from 67 nests in four sites in Queenslang before andafter hatching,Then they identified begging calls by analyzing the order and numberof notes.A computer analysis blindly compared calls produced by mothers andchicks,ranking them by similarity.It turns out
25、 that baby red-backed fairy wrensalso emerge chirping like their moms. And the more frequently mothers hadcalled to their errs,the more similar were the babies begging calls. Inaddition,the team set up a separate experiment that suggested that the babybirds that most closely imitated their moms voic
26、e were rewarded with the mostfood.Thisobservation hints that effective embryonic learning could signal neurological(神经系统的)strengths of children toparents.An evolutionary inference can then be drawn.”As a parent,do you investin quality children,or do you invest in children that are in need?”Kleindorf

29、est callCAnew commodity brings about a highly profitable,fast-growing industry,urgingantitrust（反垄断）regulators to step in tocheck those who control its flow. A century ago ,the resource in question wasoil. Now similar concerns ares being raised by the giants（巨头）that deal in data, the oilof the digita
30、l age. The most valuable firms are Google,Amazon, Facebook andMicrosoft. All look unstoppable.Such situations have ledto calls for the tech giants to be broken up. But size alone is not a crime,Thegiants success has benefited consumers. Few want to live without searchengines or a quick delivery, Far
31、 from charging consumers high prices, many ofthese services are free (users pay, in effect, by handing over yet more data).And the appearance of new-born giants suggests that newcomers can make waves,too.But there is cause for concern. The internethas made data abundant, all-present and far more val
32、uable, changing the natureof data and competition. Google initially used the data collected from users totarget advertising better. But recently it has discovered that data can beturned into new services: translation and visual recognition, to be sold toother companies. Internet companies control of
33、 data gives them enormous power.So they have a “Gods eye view” of activities in their own markets and beyond.This nature of data makesthe antitrust measures of the past less useful. Breaking up firms like Googleinto five small ones would not stop remaking themselves: in time, one of themwould become
34、 great again. A rethink is requiredand as a new approach starts tobecome apparent, two ideas stand out.The first is thatantitrust authorities need to move form the industrial age into the 21stcentury. When considering a merger(兼并),for example, they havetraditionally used size to determine when to st
35、ep in. They now need to takeinto account the extent of firmsdata assets(资产) when assessing the impact of deals.The purchase price could also be a signal that an established company is buyinga new-borm threat. When this takes place, especially when a new-born companyhas no revenue to speak of, the re
36、gulators should raise red flags.The second principle is to loosen the control that providers of on-line services have over data and give more to those who supply them.Companies could be forced to consumers what information they hold and how many money they make form it.Govemments could order the sha
37、ring of certain kinds of data,with users consent.Restarting antitrust for the information age will not be easy But if govemments dont wants a data oconomy by a few giants,they must act soon. （分数：8）(1).Why is there a call to break up giants?（分数：2）A.Theyhave controlled the data marketB.They collect en
38、ormous private dataC.They nolonger provide free servicesD.They dismissed some new-born giants(2).What does the technological innovation inParagraph 3 indicate?（分数：2）A.Data giants technology is very expensiveB.Googlesidea is popular among data firmsC.Data can strengthen giants controllingpositionD.Da
39、ta can be turned into new services or products(3).By paying attention to firms data assets,antitrust regulators could（分数：2）A.kill a new threatB.avoid the sizetrapC.favour bigger firmsD.charge higher prices(4).What is the purpose of loosening the giantscontrol of data?（分数：2）A.Big companies could reli

41、after CO2 emissions（排放）peak. So even if emissionwere to begin decrease today，we would still face the challenge of adapting to climate. Here I willstress some smarter and more creative examples of climate adaptation.When it comes to adaptation，it is important to understand thatclimate change is a pro
42、cess. We are therefore not talking about adapting to anew standard，but to a constantlyshifting set of conditions. This is why in part at least，the US National ClimateAssessment says that:”there is no one-size fit all adaptation.” Nevertheless，there are some actionsthat offer much and carry little ri

Nophel lives ina mountaionous region in India, where he is known as the Ice Man. The loss ofglaciers(冰川) there due to globalwarming
48、represents an enormous threat to agriculture. Without the glaciers,water will arrive in the rivers at times when it can damage crops. Norphelsinspiration come from seeing the waste of water over winter, when it was notneeded. He directed the wasted water into shallow basins where it froze, andwas st
49、ored until the spring. His fields of ice supply perfectly timedirrigation(灌溉) water. Having creatednine such ice reserves. Nophel calculates that he has stored about 200, 000m3 of water. Climate change is acontinuing process, so Norhels ice reserves will not last forever. Warmingwill overtake them. But he is providing a few years during which the farmerswill, perhaps, be able to find
