C(真题·台州天台)
①Did you know that birds can also get “road rage(路怒症)”? A research team from Anglia Ruskin University(ARU) in the UK visited the Galapagos Islands to do a study. They found that car noises make birds angry.
②The Galapagos Islands are on the eastern part of the Pacific Ocean, and are home to a large number of animals and plants.
③The scientists studied a very common type of yellow warbler(黄莺) in the area. The places that they looked at were either 50 or 100 metres away from the road. In each place, scientists played recorded traffic noise to the yellow warblers to see how they behaved.
④They found that no matter how far the birds were from the road, they sang louder if the place was noisy. In the places with more people, they even sang for a longer time.
⑤What's more, the yellow warblers living 50 metres away from the road were loud and angry. For example, they got very close to the speaker and flew across it over and over again. Those 100 metres away from the noise, however, were quieter.
⑥With more human activity, the number of cars on the Galapagos Islands has gone up in recent years. The birds often use songs to drive people and animals away, but if the traffic noise was louder than their singing, they became more aggressive (富于攻击性的), an ARU scientist told Science Daily.
(
A. To study the plants in the place.
B. To protect the yellow warblers.
C. To count the number of the birds.
D. To research the “road rage” of birds.
(
A. They played traffic noise to different kinds of birds in the same place.
B. They played traffic noise to yellow warblers at two different places.
C. They watched yellow warblers in the places without doing anything.
D. They put yellow warblers in the city and countryside to see the difference.
(
A. Because they were trying to drive away the noise.
B. Because they were showing their happiness.
C. Because they were trying to make friends.
D. Because they were competing with other birds.

解析
【分析】
23题：定位题干关键词“research team from ARU”和“Galapagos Islands”，回到原文第一段，明确研究目的是探究鸟类的“road rage”，对应选项D。
24题：定位第三段，找到研究的两个地点（50米和100米处），以及对黄莺播放交通噪音的操作，对应选项B。
25题：定位最后一段，原文提到鸟类用歌声驱赶人或动物，当交通噪音超过它们的歌声时，就会更吵闹，所以唱歌大声是为了应对噪音，对应选项A。
26题：结合第四段（人多的地方唱更久）和第五段（50米处的鸟更吵闹），以及第六段人类活动增多的背景，可知靠近道路50米、人类活动多的地方鸟唱歌最大声最久，对应选项B。
【解析】
23题：根据第一段内容，英国ARU研究团队前往加拉帕戈斯群岛是为了研究鸟类的“路怒症”，A选项研究植物、B选项保护黄莺、C选项统计鸟类数量均不符合原文，故选D。
24题：第三段说明，科学家选择了距离道路50米和100米两个地点，在每个地点对黄莺播放录制的交通噪音来观察行为，A选项不同种类鸟类、C选项无操作、D选项城市乡村对比均错误，故选B。
25题：最后一段指出，鸟类常用歌声驱赶人或动物，当交通噪音超过它们的歌声时，就会变得更吵闹，目的是应对噪音，B选项开心、C选项交朋友、D选项和其他鸟竞争均不符合，故选A。
26题：第四段提到人多的地方鸟唱更久，第五段说明50米处的鸟更吵闹，结合人类活动增多的背景，可知靠近道路50米、人类活动多的地方鸟唱歌最大声最久，对应选项B。
