2、en studying a group of up to 120 bottle-nose dolphins in the River Shannon using vocalizations(发声)collected on a computer in a cow shed near the River Shannon.As part of a research project, student Ronan Hickey digitized and analyzed a total of 1, 882 whistles from the Irish dolphins and those from
3、the Welsh dolphins on a computer and separated them into six fundamental whistle types and 32 different categories. Of the categories, he found most were used by both sets of dolphinsbut eight were only heard from the Irish dolphins.“We are building up a catalogue of the different whistle types they
4、 use and trying to associate them with behavior like foraging(觅食), resting, socializing and the communications of groups with carves(幼仔), “ project leader Simon Berrow said. “Essentially we are building up what is like a dictionary of words they use or sounds they make. “Berrow, a marine biologist,
5、said the dolphins clicks are used to find their way around and locate prey. The whistles are communications. “They do a whole range of other sounds like barks, groans and a kind of gunshot, “ he said. “The gunshot is an intense pulse(脉冲)of sound. Sperm whales use it to stun(击昏)their prey. “ When I f
6、irst heard it I was surprised as I thought sperm whales were the only species who used it. We can speculate the dolphins are using it for the same reason as the sperm whales, “ Berrow said.References in local legend indicate there have been dolphins in the Shannon estuary for generations and they ma

From the very beginning, music
12、 was regarded as an indispensable accompaniment(伴奏); when the Lumiere films were shown at the first public film exhibition in the United States in February 1896, they were accompanied by piano improvisations on popular tunes. At first, the music played bore no special relationship to the films; an a
13、ccompaniment of any kind was sufficient. Within a very short time, however, the incongruity of playing lively music to a solemn film became apparent, and film pianists began to take some care in matching their pieces to the mood of the film.As movie theaters grew in number and importance, a violinis
14、t, and perhaps a cellist, would be added to the pianist in certain cases, and in the larger movie theaters small orchestras(管弦乐队)were formed. For a number of years the selection of music for each film program rested entirely in the hands of the conductor or leader of the orchestra, and very often th
15、e principal qualification for holding such a position was not skill or taste so much as the ownership of a large personal library of musical pieces. Since the conductor seldom saw the films until the night before they were to be shown(if indeed, the conductor was lucky enough to see them then), the
16、musical arrangement was normally improvised(临时准备 )in the greatest hurry.To help meet this difficulty, film distributing companies started the practice of publishing suggestions for musical accompaniments. In 1909, for example, the Edison Company began issuing(发行)with their films such indications of
17、mood as “pleasant“ , “sad“ , “lively“. The suggestions became more explicit, and so emerged the musical cue sheet containing indications of mood, the titles of suitable pieces of music, and precise directions to show where one piece led into the next.Certain films had music especially composed for t
18、hem. The most famous of these early special scores(乐谱)was that composed and arranged for D. W. Griffith s film Birth of a Nation, which was released in 1915.11 What can be inferred from the passage about the majority of films made after 1927?(A)They were truly “silent“.(B) They were accompanied by s
19、ymphonic orchestras.(C) They incorporated the sound of the actors voices.(D)They corresponded to specific musical compositions.12 Who did the most in the development of movie music?(A)Conductors.(B) Pianists.(C) D.W. Griffith.(D)Film companies.13 It can be inferred from the passage that _.(A)there w
