【正文】 Prat. “The finding that bats learn the mon dialect in their rest place was unusual.” Scientists know little about the origin of spoken language, which is believed to have appeared in humans within the past 500,000 years. Dozens of theories attempt to explain the plexity of this skill, but none have done so conclusively. “Studying vocal munication and vocal learning in animal models is a very useful way to approach the problem,” says Olga Feher, an assistant professor at the University of Warwick in England. But animal vocalizations and human speech are very different things, says Jamin Pelkey, a professor at Ryerson University. “All species municate. Unlike other animals, though, human beings are able to use sound patterns for functions that are far stranger—functions that are imaginative, theoretical, and critical. When speech is involved in these stranger functions, that is what we mean by spoken ?language?.” 32. How do young bats acquire their “l(fā)anguage” according to the research? A. Flying in the air slowly. B. Hearing it again and again. C. Communicating with partners. D. Repeating it with their mothers. 33. What was the general view about animal vocalization? A. Most animals are born with it. B .Its process was unusual. C. It is easier than human speech. D. What animals heard doesn?t affect their learning. 34. What does the underlined word “problem” in Paragraph 4 refer to? A. The study of animal models. B. The origin of spoken language. C. The plexity of spoken language. D. The difference between animals and humans. 35. What does professor Pelkey think of researching young bats? A. It is far from the fact. B. Its result is beyond doubt. C. It is of great scientific value. D. It doesn?t relate to human speech much. 第二節(jié)（共 5 小題；每小題 2 分，滿分 10 分） 根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項(xiàng)中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)。 17.
