22、Speaking a native language that requires tones appears to boost perception of melody (旋律), but at the cost of rhythm, researchers report April 26 in Current Biology. The massive global study shows how language skills affect other areas of cognition.
Tonal languages (声调语言) use pitch (音高) to pronounce words differently that otherwise might sound the same. In Mandarin, for instance, ma means horse while ma means mother. Nontonal languages like Spanish sometimes include pitch changes to suggest emotion, for example, but not to change a word’s meaning.
As a Mandarin speaker and flutist, Jingxuan Liu wondered about the relation between language and music. While studying psychology as an undergraduate at Duke University, Liu helped analyze the musical abilities of nearly half a million people from 203 countries. Her colleagues had launched an online game in which participants completed several musical tasks, including identifying matching melodies at different pitches and finding beat tracks that fit songs’ rhythms.
On average, native speakers of the 19 represented tonal languages were better at the melody task compared with speakers of 29 nontonal languages. And the effect wasn’t small - atonal first language enhanced melodic perception by about half the amount that music lessons did, which was also surveyed. But tonal language speakers tended to be worse at the rhythm task.
Humans must be choosy about what they pay attention to. Pitch patterns are vital in tonal languages, which might explain the musical trade-off. “You’ve got a limited resource of attention, and you’ve got to allocate that somehow,” says study coauthor Courtney Hilton, a cognitive scientist at the University of Auckland in New Zealand.
Prior research on language and music often compared just two tongues, usually English and Cantonese or Mandarin. But other cultural influences, such as Eastern and Western music styles, could have affected results. By examining a wide range of people, the new study included languages never assessed in this way and reached more general conclusions.
“Our result here is showing that the language someone speaks -which is an important part of culture—also shapes cognition,” Hilton says.
【1】Why is pitch used in tonal languages?
A．To distinguish words.
B．To produce similar sounds.
C．To suggest emotion.
D．To clarify a word’s meaning.
【2】What can we learn from Jingxuan Liu’s study?
A．Speakers of tonal languages are good at music.
B．Speakers of nontonal languages are better at rhythm.
C．Languages make no difference to melodic perception.
D．Nontonal languages are comparable to tonal languages.
【3】What is Courtney Hilton’s attitude towards the study?
A．Doubtful.
B．Dismissive.
C．Approving.
D．Cautious.
【4】Which can be the best title for the passage?
A．Prior research, new findings
B．Music or culture: a dilemma
C．Who is to blame for poor language skills?
D．What accounts for different musical abilities?

24、In 1985. C'harlie Burrell inherited （继承）a piece of land in West Sussex, England, which is 3.500 acres. It had been in his family for more than 200 years. As it was a failing farm, he and his wife. Isabella Tree, were all set to run a traditional farm, but soon realized the costs far outweighed the profits. The land wasn't suitable for growing crops anymore.
So. in 2001, the couple decided to try something else — an experiment in “rewilding”， or restoring environments to their natural state. They reintroduced native species, including Tamworth pigs, Exmoor ponies, longhorn cattle, and deer. Then they took out all the fences and let the animals wander freely.
In the following years, the land went through an incredible change. The once neat fields were covered with bushes, creating habitats where new plant and animal species could grow.
Now it's home to many different creatures, including two rare species of bats, nightingales, peregrine falcons, white storks, and even turtle doves, whose numbers have dropped by 98 percent in the U. K. over the last few decades!
“We were living in a biological desert. Now, ecologists are blown away all the time by just the amount of life here," Isabella said. "It shows the potential that this kind of project has for changing trends of biodiversity decline.
What's more, the land is now profitable! Charlie and Isabella offer multiple services there, including walking tours, safaris, photography classes, and rewilding workshops. They also sell meat to control their large animal populations, and even allow visitors to spend a night outside in the tents they set up.
What a promising outcome! This is amazing news for conservationists and shows that our planet can be returned to its natural glory, if only we let it. Now, it's a beautiful reminder of how ecosystems can be restored by letting Mother Nature take the control.
【1】What did the couple do with the land?
A．They planted trees on it.
B．They raised animals on it.
C．They restored it to its natural state.
D．They transformed it into a traditional farm.
【2】What does the underlined phrase “blown away” in Paragraph 5 mean?
A．Amused.
B．Impressed.
C．Disappointed.
D．Confused.
【3】Which is one of the ways the couple make profits?
A．Selling tents to tourists.
B．Selling what they grow on the land.
C．Killing animals and selling the meat.
D．Drawing rare animals and selling the pictures.
【4】What can be inferred about the couple?
A．They have creative ideas.
B．They succeeded through hard labor.
C．They are too lazy to manage a farm.
D．They care more about money than the ecosystem.
