Passage Five First, the spotted owl was threatened by logging in the Pacific Northwest. Now it’s in danger from a new enemy, the barred owl. Barred owls have been moving to the Northwest from the eastern part of the United States. Stan Sovem has studied spotted owls. Now when he calls for spotted owls, barred owls are starting to appear. Sovem threw a mouse on the ground, and a barred owl grabbed it. Scientists have learned that spotted owls start to vanish when barred owls come. Some barred and spotted owls have mated and produced hybrid babies. One spotted owl was killed by a barred owl. Professor Ned K. Brown of the University of California-Berkeley says, "In some areas of Washington, the barred owls moved into very dense, deep woods. The same kind of woods that are opened up, or destroyed by logging, that adversely influences the spotted owls." Ten years have passed since the federal government began protecting the spotted owl. Loggers were forced to limit logging on seven million acres of government land. No one is sure how the arrival of the barred owls will impact laws that protect spotted laws. The barred owls like to live in the deep forests where loggers like to cut down trees. The barred owls will likely keep migrating to the Northwest. Scientists learned about the barred owl migration by______.
A. decoding spotted owl sounds
B. feeding mice to the owls
C. monitoring spotted owl populations
D. researching the Internet

Passage Two Can animals be made to work for us Some scientists think that one day animals may be trained to do a number of simple jobs that are now done by human beings. They point out that at a circus, for example, we may see elephants, monkeys, dogs and other animals doing quite skillful things. Perhaps you have seen them on the television or in a film. If you watch closely, you may notice that the trainer always gives the animal a piece of candy or a piece of fruit as a reward. The scientists say that many different animals may be trained to do a number of simple jobs if they know they will get a reward for doing them. Of course, as we know, dogs can be used to guard a house, and soldiers in both old and modem times have used geese to give warning by making a lot of noise when a stranger or an enemy comes near. But it may be possible to train animals to work in factories. In Russia, for example, pigeons which are birds with good eyesight, are being used to watch out for faults in small steel balls that are being made in one factory. When the pigeon sees a ball which looks different from others, it touches a steel plate with its beak. This turns on a light to warn people in the factory. At the same time a few seeds are given as a reward. It takes three to five weeks to train a pigeon to do this and one pigeon can inspect 3 000 to 4 000 balls an hour. Apes have been used in America in helping to make cars, and scientists believe that these large monkeys may be one day gather crops and even drive trains. What made scientists think animal can be made to work for us one day
Animals are very skillful at a circus.
B. They are big and strong.
C. Some animals arc as clever as human beings.
D. Animals can be trained because they like to get something as a reward.
阅读以下说明,根据要求回答问题。 [说明] 老郑是一家系统集成公司软件研发部经理。为集中力量开发一个公司新承接的信息系统软件,他从其他项目组选出了6名聪明能干的开发人员组成了一个新的产品开发小组,老郑亲自担任小组负责人。6名团队成员都是大学本科毕业,在各自的工作中都取得了良好的成绩。老郑相信他的新项目团队一定能成功地完成开发任务。 但是,一个月过去了,小组的工作进展远远落后于开发计划,而且每周的小组成员会议使得每一位与会者都倍受折磨,已快变成了两个相对阵营间的紧张对抗了。老郑主张参与性管理,要求每一位小组成员在作出决定时意见要一致。问题是小郭和小赵很快地就能打定主意,要求进行下一个议题:而小张、小李和小王则要求进一步讨论,要求对更多的资料用更多的时间进行思考;小阮虽然在会议中较少发言,但他基本支持小李的意见。 老郑尽力在双方之间进行平衡。小郭和小赵做事有时有点儿鲁莽,不能仔细考虑所做决定的细节;小张等人确实也有点儿慢吞吞的,会使全组陷入没完没了分析的倾向。老郑很难决定支持哪一方,因为双方都做出过许多高质量的决定,并取得过良好的开发成绩。 为什么6位聪明能干的开发人员到一起工作却带来了这么多问题老郑陷入了沉思…… 针对上述情况,你认为除了项目例会之外,项目经理老郑还可以采取哪些措施来有效促进沟通。
