9、e was then standing on the bridge of a research ship and was scanning the sky for seabirds, which was one of his duties as a research technician on the cruise (海上航游).Just five months earlier he had finished college, where he studied biology and environmental science.As the ship entered nutrientrich

10、Antarctic waters, whales suddenly showed up all around the ship.That moment on the bridge helped him realize that the ocean looks featureless from the top, but theres so much going on underneath.The second lightbulb moment hit him several months later.Pinsky was then an intern (实习生) in Washington，D.

11、C.His job was making photocopies.It was around the time when two big reports had come out.Both focused on what policies might best preserve US.ocean resources.“I realized we have all these laws and policies that determine how we as a society interact with the ocean.But theyre far out of date.We dont

12、 yet have the science to know what the new policy should be，” Pinsky said.Today he runs a lab with about 20 workers.His team wants to seek how our changing climate, as well as overfishing and habitat destruction, might be driving changes in fish and other animals in the sea.To find out, team members

13、 travel each year to coral reefs near the Philippines.There, they carefully catalog populations of different fish.They collect data on the growth and mating of these fish, their diversity and other factors.“Pinskys broad approach to the problem looking at species, where they live and how fisheries a

14、re managed is setting the pace for other scientists，” says Kimberly Oremus, a fishery economist at the University of Delaware in Newark.“Pinsky is pushing the whole field to respond to his growing body of research.”4What made Pinsky have the first lightbulb moment?A.The vastness of the ocean.B.The s

17、.BDoubtful.C.Disapproving. DUninterested.CYoure on a diet, but the smell of popcorn in the movie theater lobby brings you a seemingly irresistible desire.Within seconds, youve ordered a tub of the stuff and have eaten several handfuls.Food impulsivity (冲动性), which has been linked to excessive food i

18、ntake, may lead to many health problems, such as weight gain or obesity.However, a team of researchers has now identified a specific circuit in the brain that influences food impulsivity, creating the possibility that scientists can someday develop therapy for overeating.“Your brain has potential ab

19、ility to repel impulsive eating，” said Emily Noble, an assistant professor in the UGA College of Family.“In experimental models, you can activate that circuitry and get a specific behavioral response.”Using a rat model, researchers focused on a group of brain cells that produce a type of transmitter

20、 in the hypothalamus (下丘脑) called MCH.“While previous research has shown that elevating MCH levels in the brain can increase food intake, this study is the first to show that it also plays a role in impulsive behavior，” Noble said.To test impulsivity, researchers trained rats to press a lever (杠杆) t

21、o receive a “delicious, highfat, highsugar” button, Noble said.However, the rat had to wait 20 seconds between lever presses.If the rat pressed the lever too soon, it had to wait an additional 20 seconds.Researchers then used advanced techniques to activate a specific MCH neural (神经的) pathway from t

22、he hypothalamus to the hippocampus, a part of the brain involved with learning and memory function.Results indicated MCH doesnt affect how much the animals liked the food or how hard they were willing to work for the food.Rather, it acted on the animals ability to stop themselves from trying to get

23、the food.Activating this specific pathway of MCH neurons controlled impulsive behavior without affecting normal eating for caloric need or motivation to consume delicious food.This opens the door to the possibility that one day we might be able to develop a new treatment for overeating that helps pe

26、s the last paragraph mainly about?A.The significance of the study.B.The further research on overeating.C.The importance of sticking to a diet.D.The possibility of preventing overeating.DA song combines words and music, yet the human brain can instantly separate a songs words from its music content.A

27、nd now scientists think they know how it happens.A team led by researchers at McGill University reported in Science that song sounds are processed at the same time by two separate brain areas one in the left hemisphere (大脑半球) and one in the right.“On the left side you can figure out the speech conte

28、nt but not the music content, and on the right side you can figure out the music content but not the speech content，” says Robert Zatorre, a professor at McGill University.“Thanks to songbirds, we got the finding of our research，” Zatorre says.“In a previous study of songbirds, we found that their b

29、rains figure out sounds using two separate measures.One assesses how quickly a sound fluctuates (起伏) over time.The other detects the frequencies in a sound.We thought, hey, maybe that is what the human brain does, too.”To find out, the team got help from a composer and a singer with high singing voi

30、ce.And after a series of experiments, it turned out that humans decode sounds the same way as songbirds do, by separating a sounds timerelated elements from the frequencies it contains, and processing the information using two different groups of specialized brain cells.“As a result, when we hear a

31、song, it engages both hemispheres of the brain in a way thats different than either speech or music alone？” Zatorre says.The finding explains something doctors have observed in stroke (中风) patients for decades, says Daniela Sammler, a researcher at the Max Planck Institute in Leipzig, Germany, who w

32、as not involved in the study.“If you have a stroke in the left hemisphere you are much more likely to have a language barrier than if you have a stroke in the right hemisphere？” Sammler says.Moreover, brain damage to certain areas of the right hemisphere can affect a persons ability to sense music.1

33、2What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 1 refer to?A.The brains distinguishing lyrics of a song from its melody.B.The cooperation between left and right hemisphere.C.The popularity of music around the world.D.A songs combining words and music.13Why are songbirds mentioned in the text?A.To s

34、how the relationship between left and right hemisphere.B.To present the background of doing the study.C.To introduce the way songbirds figure out sounds.D.To illustrate the finding of the study.14Whats Sammlers attitude towards the finding?A.Doubtful. BSupportive.C.Disapproving. DUncaring.15What is

35、the text mainly about?A.The process of our brainsdealing with information.B.Different functions of our brains two hemispheres.C.Reasons why so many people love to listen to music.D.The way our brain works when listening to a song.阅读七选五Being stuck at home might not have been on your agenda for the cu
