21、People may use the expression “birdbrain” in English to talk about someone who is stupid, but crows prove that this is unfair. Now it has been discovered that crows may understand analogies.
It was once thought that only humans could understand analogies, which help us to solve problems creatively, put things into categories, and make scientific discoveries.
To test this ability in animals, scientists do “relational matching-to-sample”(RMTS) tests, according to the IFL Science website. If a pair was AA, for example, then picking BB to match it would be correct. If the pair was CD, however, then EF would be correct.
Apes and monkeys have learned RMTS, but scientists wanted to know if crows could do it, too. An international team led by Edward Wasserman from the University of Iowa in the US first trained two hooded crows to match things by color, shape, and number in what is called “identity matching-to-sample (IMTS)”, then moved onto RMTS.
For the IMTS test, the birds were put in a cage with a plastic tray that had three cards and two cups in it. The card in the middle was the sample card. The cups on either side were covered with the other two cards: One was the same as the sample (in the color, shape, or number of shapes pictured), while the other wasn’t. The cup with the card that matched the sample card contained two worms to eat.
In the second part of the experiment, the birds were tested with relational matching pairs. A card with two same-sized circles, for example, meant they should pick the test card with two same-sized squares and not two different-sized circles. The birds did well in the more difficult test and picked the correct card more than three quarters of the time, Science News reports.
Wasserman was surprised that crows were able to solve the problem without any training in RMTS. “What the crows have done is extraordinary,” he said in a news release. “Honestly, if it was only by force that the crows showed this learning, then it would have been an impressive result. But this was spontaneous.”
So perhaps it’s time to stop saying “birdbrain” permanently!
【1】Why does the author mention the expression “birdbrain” in the opening paragraph?
A.To get the reader interested in the origins of the expression.
B.To urge people to stop saying that birds are stupid.
C.To introduce the topic of Edward Wasserman and his experiments.
D.To introduce recent findings about crows’ intelligence.
【2】Which of the following is TRUE about the tests on the hooded crows?
A.The birds did better in RMTS than in IMTS.
B.The birds were first made to do RMTS, then IMTS.
C.The birds picked almost all the correct cards in RMTS.
D.In the IMTS test, the birds needed to identify the sample card to get rewards.
【3】In the RMTS test, if the birds were given the sample card with two same-sized triangles, they had to pick the test card with ________.
A.two same-sized circles
B.one circle and one triangle
C.two different-sized circles
D.two different-sized triangles
【4】The underlined word “spontaneous” in the second-to-last paragraph is closest in meaning to ________.
A.central
B.creative
C.natural
D.predictable
【5】Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?
A.Monkeys Are Clever Than Crows
B.Crows Show Cleverness
C.Crows Did Well in RMTS
D.Don’t Look Down on Birds
22、There is no way they just drove into that water, thought Corion Evans. The 16-year-old was hanging out in a parking area underneath a Moss Point, Mississippi, highway in July when a car with three teenage girls inside rushed off a boat ramp and into the Pascagoula River. It came to rest some 20 feet from land, then sank. The driver, Evans would learn, had blindly followed wrong directions from her GPS.
It was around 2:30 a. m. by the time Evans got to the river’s edge. In the darkness, he could barely make out the girls clinging to the roof, the only part of the car still, barely, above water. But he could hear screaming.
Evans ripped off his shirt and shoes, tossed his phone down, then dived into the water, a river he knew alligators (鳄鱼) called home. He helped the first girl he saw and, keeping her head above water, led her ashore.
Just then, a man called out. Police Officer Garry Mercer had arrived. He dived into the river to help another of the girls. But halfway back to shore, she panicked and went underwater, pulling Mercer down with her.
Evans jumped back into the water and helped them until they could stand. “If he hadn’t been there, who knows?” Mercer told the Washington Post.
There was still one girl in the water. Cora Watson, 19, could not swim. She was gulping water, struggling to stay afloat. And scared.
“I heard Cora screaming ‘Help!’and I thought she was going to the dogs,” Caleb told WLOX in Biloxi.
“I just knew my last breath was coming,” Watson said. “My mind said, You’re slowly losing yourself.” She began to go under. Then, a jolt. “Corion had grabbed me.”
The three girls and Officer Mercer were taken to the hospital and released. They’re alive because Corion Evans risked his life to save them. They’re alive, says his mother, Marquita Evans, because Corion Evans broke his curfew.
But she’s not mad, she told the Post. “He had a good reason.”
【1】According to paragraph 1, what can we know about the accident?
A.The three teenage girls were about to hang out when they dropped into the river.
B.The wrong navigation confused the driver and caused the accident.
C.The car drove about 20 feet from the land and stopped on the water.
D.The car crashed into the river while driving on a Moss Point, Mississippi, highway.
【2】From the article, we can know that__________.
A.During the rescue, some alligators attacked them.
B.Evans saved the lives of the three girls and Officer Mercer.
C.The first two rescued girls can swim.
D.Seeing three girls who fell into the water, Evans called the police.
【3】What is the meaning of the word underlined in paragraph 7?
A.Dying.
B.Dangerous.
C.Awkward.
D.Nervous.
【4】What is Evans’ mother’s attitude towards this matter?
A.Indifferent.
B.Critical.
C.Proud.
D.Angry.

26、阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
A Perfect Match
This story is a miracle. A dog, separated from her owner for many years, finally returned to her side.
As an only child, Nicole Renae often felt lonely in her youth. But that all changed when she turned ten. For her birthday, Renae’s grandmother surprised her with an adorable gray puppy named Chloe.
From the very start, the two were inseparable. “She was my best friend,” Renae says. Every ounce of love Renae gave, the little dog returned more. “She was such a sweet dog,” Renae says. “She’d lick your face forever if you didn’t stop her.”
But when Renae was 14, her father got a new job that came with a piece of bad news; He’d be working from home, and the house needed to be free of audible (听得见的) distractions.
“Chloe was very yappy (喜欢叫嚷的),” Renae says. “I was just a kid, so I didn’t have any choice in the matter. I didn’t want to get rid of my dog. I just felt so sick and sad about it.”
With no easier option, the family surrendered Chloe to a humane society (动物保护协会). Though they were optimistic that the dog would find a new home with people who loved her, they couldn’t know for sure. “I called the humane society to try to find out what happened to her,” Renae says, “but they couldn’t tell me anything. So I never knew.”
In time, Renae grew up, got married, and had a child of her own. But her family didn’t feel quite complete. Remembering the joy that having a dog had brought her as a kid, Renae wanted her daughter to experience the same. She had it in her mind that she would adopt a puppy, but then one day she saw a post on Facebook about a senior dog that needed a new home. The dog in the photograph looked a lot like Chloe—she was even named Chloe. In an instant it was decided: She would adopt this older dog.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
When she met Chloe, Renae was struck with an amazing feeling.
