26、Monkeys surprise us

Humans are the most intelligent animals on Earth. 【1】But sometimes, our way of thinking can become an obstacle (障碍).

Julia Watzek, a graduate student in psychology at Georgia State University, US, recently did some research on the problem-solving abilities of both monkeys and humans.【2】They intended to test their ability to change their strategies(策略) in the game. In this game, each player was shown four squares on a computer screen: one striped square, one spotted square and two blank squares. While being trained to play the game, they learned that clicking the stripedsquare and then the spotted square would cause a blue triangle to pop up in one of the blank squares. Clicking on the blue triangle would give them a reward. 【3】 But partway through the game, the researchers introduced a shortcut (捷径). Suddenly, the blue triangle started appearing at the start of gameplay, alongside the striped and spotted squares.【4】Remarkably, about 70 percent of the monkeys figured out this shortcut immediately. 【5】 Only 1 out of 56 human players figured out the shortcut right away.

Watzek’s conclusion was that humans tend to get “stuck in their ways” when it comes to strategic thinking. Things such as standardized testing and formal schooling might cause humans to use the same strategy over and over, even when it doesn’t work very well.

A.Monkeys never did better than human.

B.She and her team had them play a simple game.

C.The spotted square didn’t appear at all till the end.

D.Humans, on the other hand, were slow to figure it out.

E.We have mental abilities that other animals don’t have.

F.If a player clicked on the blue triangle, they’d receive their reward right away.

G.Human players would hear a “woop!” sound and monkey players would receive a snack.

27、   Crimes happen every day, but people aren’t the only victims of illegal activities. There are also animals. Though animals can’t tell the police officers what they’ve suffered, these are some of the hardest cases to solve.

As we all know, poachers can make a lot of money by selling meat, fur and other parts of protected animals. As the animals become rarer, their parts become more valuable. So poachers earn even greater rewards for their collection of protected species. In the past few years, the price of ivory has risen to about $850 per kg. An ivory can sometimes weigh 11 kg or more.

Now, scientists are fighting back. It is known that DNA plays a big part in solving human crimes. Like fingerprints, DNA is unique to every person. So by examining DNA in blood or hair, the police can recognize criminals and victims.

When the police find poached animal parts, such as their fur or bones, it is difficult to know what species the victims are, which is mostly cared about. DNA can prove helpful in figuring it out and also where the animals came from. That’s because members of one local group of animals share more DNA in common with each other than they do with more distant groups of their species.

If the world’s poaching victims could talk, they would probably thank these scientists for their work.

【1】The author uses the example of ivory to show that ________.

A. ivory is the most expensive part of an elephant

B. poaching is a very common activity in the world

C. poachers always treat the protected animals cruelly

D. poachers make a large profit from their illegal activities

【2】What is the author’s attitude towards the scientist’ work?

A. Critical. B. Doubtful.

C. Uninterested. D. Appreciative.

【3】The Third paragraph is mainly about ________?

A. how to examine DNA of an animal

B. why DNA is unique to every person

C. the improvement of DNA technique

D. how DNA technique helps the police

【4】When the police find poached animal parts, the first thing they want to know is ________.

A. who killed the animals

B. when the crime happened

C. what species they belong to

D. where the animals come from

28、In the last 100 years, the global temperature has gone up by around 0. 75’℃. This may not sound like much, but an increase of 2 ℃ in global temperatures could result in extinction for 30% of the world’s land species.

On account of the changing climate, the world’s ecosystems are also changing faster. More than one-third of the world’s mangroves (红树林)and around 20％ of the world’s coral reefs(珊瑚礁)have been destroyed in the last few decades. Due to the higher temperatures and higher levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, plants are producing more pollen(花 粉), which could lead to more cases of asthma,   a medical condition which makes it hard to breathe.

What is causing climate change? It seems that the main cause is the huge amount of greenhouse gases, such as CH4 and CO2, but the real reason for this is that the world’s population increases and more land is needed to provide food and energy. Burning fossil fuels for heating, lighting, transport, electricity or manufacturing produces CO2. By cutting down trees, we are increasing the amount of Co2 and reducing the amount of oxygen. As a result of human activities, CO2 levels are now at their highest in 800, 000 years.

The biggest challenge we all face is to prevent further environmental disasters. We must do something before it is too late. We need to reduce the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere. We need to stop burning fossil fuels and start using renewable energy. We can get enough energy from renewable fuels, such as solar energy or wind power to stop using fossil fuels completely.

【1】What is the author’s main purpose in writing this article?

A．To predict the effects of global warming.

B．To describe the changes in nature.

C．To urge the use of renewable energy.

D．To warn people of natural disasters.

【2】What’s the result of the climate change?

A．Ecology is badly affected.

B．30% of species will die out.

C．The amount of CO: is growing.

D．More people die of asthma.

【3】What’s the real cause of the changing climate?

A．Cutting down trees.

B．Increasing population

C．Burning fossil fuels.

D．Greenhouse gases.

【4】What’s the author’s attitude towards further environmental disasters?

A．What’s done can not be undone.

B．Man will surely defeat nature.

C．Humans are nothing in face of nature.

D．Actions are needed to resolve problems.

29、   From the first use of the rocket to carry satellites into space to the setting up of space stations, human beings have been putting great effort into space research. And so far, we have achieved many successes. But there are still numerous tasks in front of us and we should not stop trying to progress.

The international space station (ISS) is an important step we should take in space exploration. It is not only helpful but also essential. It provides a proper space environment for many experiments that we have wanted to do for a long time. It is also a base for the observations of the earth and the universe. It could also be an important base for later travel to the moon and Mars. In a word, if we want to explore space more, the first thing we should do is to set up a space station.

As the space station costs a lot of money, it is hard for one country alone to establish one. The USA seems to be the only country that has the ability to build a space station alone, and it has tried to do so, but not very successful. So it aggregated many other countries to work on it together. Though it is still extremely expensive, it is much cheaper than doing it alone. It is really a job that needs everyone’s effort and will benefit everyone.

Led by the U. S. and Russia, the ISS is a joint project between six space agencies involving 16 countries. Called the greatest achievement in human cooperation, the ISS has come to the end of a ten-year’s hard work in construction. China has applied for participation in (taking part in) the project many times. Unfortunately all the applications were rejected, which drove China onto the path of independent development. As the Long March Ⅱ-F/T1 carrier rocket blasted off (left the ground) and successfully carried the Tiangong-1 into space on September 29, 2011, China took a big step toward its Space Station Era.

Some West media suggested that the successful launch of Tiangong-1 would disturb the balance of global space power, raising concerns about “China threat”. China’s space project is not designed for military purpose but for developing space technology to explore space resources and make use of them for mankind’s well-being.

【1】From Paragraph 2 we learn that______.

A.the necessity of building the international space station is not realized now

B.many experiments have been done in the international space station

C.the international space station is necessary for people to explore space more

D.people have traveled to Mars from the international space station

【2】The underlined word “aggregated” in Paragraph 3 can be replaced by “______”.

A.united B.scolded

C.allowed D.forbade

【3】Which of the following is NOT a reason for countries’ cooperation in building the international space station?

A.That it requires a lot of money.

B.That it needs everyone’s effort.

C.That it will benefit every participating country.

D.That it is too far away from the earth.

【4】China wants to build its space station in order to______.

A.break the balance of global space power

B.show that China can build space station alone

C.raise international concerns about “China threat”

D.make use of space peacefully for mankind’s well-being

30、   When Robbie Campbell set out to marry Stephanie Agnew in Australia, he decided to make the day as perfect as possible. To do that, he ______ the eyes of all his wedding guests so they could ______ their wedding in exactly the same way as his bride (新娘), Stephanie, who went ______ shortly before meeting Robbie.

31、Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.

Scientists have proved what students have long suspected: Maths equations can actually trigger physical pain.

Regions of the brain linked with the experience of physical 【1】 were activated in those fearful of maths when they were presented with a tough equation, researchers have found. The higher a person’s anxiety of a maths task, the more it 【2】 activity in regions of their brain associated with visceral (内脏的) threat detection, and often the experience of pain itself.

However, the researchers say their study examines the pain response associated with anticipating an anxiety-provoking event, rather than the pain associated with a 【3】 event itself. A maths task itself is not painful but 【4】 the thought of it is highly unpleasant to certain people.

“Maths can be difficult, and for those with high levels of mathematics-anxiety (HMAs), math is associated with tension, apprehension (忧虑) and fear,” the researchers said in their paper titled. When Math Hurts. “【5】, this relation was not seen during math performance, 【6】 that it is not that math itself hurts, rather, the anticipation of math is painful. These results may also provide a potential neural mechanism to explain why (people with) HMAs tend to 【7】 math and math-related situations, which in turn can bias (使有偏见) (those with) high levels of mathematics-anxiety away from taking math classes or even entire math-related 【8】 paths. We provide the first neural 【9】 indicating the nature of the subjective experience of math-anxiety.

Other forms of psychological stress, such as social 【10】 or a traumatic break-up, can also elicit feeling of physical pain.”
