Pet birds can not only imitate sounds, they can distinguish between languages, potentially offering new【S1】______on how the brain recognizes speech, Japanese researchers say. It has already been【S2】______that monkeys, mice and other mammals can recognize different languages but this is the first time that birds have been found to【S3】______the ability, The Mainichi Daily News reported.
A research team【S4】______Java Sparrows to English and Chinese translations recorded by exchange students of two well-known Japanese novels, "The Tale of Genji" and Natsume Soseki’s "I Am a Cat." A bird sitting on a perch first listened to the English【S5】______and was only allowed to eat afterwards. Then the researchers played English and Chinese recordings at random and only allowed the bird to eat after hopping onto the perch with the English. The birds correctly identified the English recording 75 percent of the time. The same results were achieved with another two birds that were【S6】______to eat only when Chinese was played. "Humans are able to distinguish between languages, even ones they don’t know, from the intonation and pronunciation, and it seems that paddy birds have the【S7】______ability," said Keio University experimental psychology professor Shigeru Watanabe, who led the research.
Watanabe said paddy birds like the Java Sparrow and parakeets, which are【S8】______vocally, learn sounds unique to their species after becoming adults, suggesting that they have a【S9】______ability to distinguish between sounds. The researchers did not use Japanese because it was the language the birds【S10】______listened to, the newspaper said.
[A] possess [F] high [K] version

[C] same [H] exposed [M] rarely
[D] suggestions [I] confirmed [N] permitted
[E] clues [J] skilled [O] different [br] 【S5】
选项
答案
K
解析
空前的the English表明,本空应填一名词,[D]suggestions、[G]process、[K]version入选。结合后面提到的“然后(Then)研究人员随意播放英文和中文的录音,只有在鸟儿跳到播放英语录音的树枝之后才允许它吃东西”可知,前面应该是说首先(first)播放英文录音,即让鸟儿先听英文版本的录音,故答案为[K] version“版本”。
