三、阅读理解

 ； ； ； Goffin'；s cockatoos, a kind of small parrot native to Australasia, have been shown to have similar shape-recognition abilities to a human two-year-old. Though not known to use tools in the wild, the birds have proved skilful at tool use while kept in the cage. In a recent experiment, cockatoos were presented with a box with a nut inside it. The clear front of the box had a "；keyhole"； in a geometric shape, and the birds were given five differently shaped "；keys"； to choose from. Inserting the correct "；key"； would let out the nut.

 ； ； ； In humans, babies can put a round shape in a round hole from around one year of age, but it will be another year before they are able to do the same with less symmetrical (对称的) shapes. This ability to recognize that a shape will need to be turned in a specific direction before it will fit is called an "；allocentric frame of reference"；. In the experiment, Goffin'；s cockatoos were able to select the right tool for the job, in most cases, by visual recognition alone. Where trial-and-error was used, the cockatoos did better than monkeys in similar tests. This indicates that Goffin'；s cockatoos do indeed possess an allocentric frame of reference when moving objects in space, similar to two-year-old babies.

 ； ； ； The next step, according to the researchers, is to try and work out whether the cockatoos rely entirely on visual clues (线索), or also use a sense of touch in making their shape selections.

16、How did the cockatoos get the nut from the box in the experiment?

A. By following instructions.  ； ； ； ； ； ； ； ； ； ； ； ； ； ； ； ； ； ； ； ； B. By using a tool.

C. By turning the box around.  ； ； ； ； ； ； ； ； ； ； ； ； ； ； ； ； ； ； D. By removing the lid.

17、Which task can human one-year-olds most likely complete according to the text?

A. Using a key to unlock a door.  ； ； ； ； ； ； ； ； ； ； ； ； ； ； B. Telling parrots from other birds.

C. Putting a ball into a round hole.  ； ； ； ； ； ； ； ； ； ； ； D. Grouping toys of different shapes.

18、What does the follow-up test aim to find out about the cockatoos?

A. How far they are able to see.

B. How they track moving objects.

C. Whether they are smarter than monkeys.

D. Whether they use a sense of touch in the test.

19、Which can be a suitable title for the text?

A. Cockatoos: Quick Error Checkers

B. Cockatoos: Independent Learners

C. Cockatoos: Clever Signal-Readers

D. Cockatoos: Skilful Shape-Sorters

四、七选五

20、Can Animals Predict Earthquakes?

 ； ； The belief that animals can predict earthquakes has been around for centuries. In 373 B.C., historians recorded that some animals deserted the Greek City of Helike in groups just days before a quake hit the place. ①_____ Fish moving violently and chickens that stop laying eggs were reported. Countless pet owners claimed to have witnessed their dogs and cats acting strangely before the ground shook.

 ； ； ②_____ It was documented in news reports that three days before the 2008 Sichuan earthquake, thousands of toads(蟾蜍) appeared on the streets in Mianzhu, a city hit very hard. Also snakes reportedly left their homes and headed for safety several days before the destructive earthquake.

 ； ； ③_____ Some theories are that they feel movements, or weak shocks, in the earth before humans do； or that they become aware of gases going out of the earth. Another belief is that animals are very much in tune with Earth'；s magnetic(磁性的) field, so they detect electrical signals caused by electromagnetic field changes, causing them to pay attention to the warning that an earthquake is about to happen.

 ； ； The United States Geological Survey states that there has been no concrete evidence for the fact that animal behaviour has a relationship with the occurrence of an earthquake. ④_____ American experts on earthquakes are also skeptical. They think that animals may have strange behaviour at any time due to other reasons-because they are hungry, defending their "；countries"；, or are about to face a dangerous situation. ⑤_____ They continue to follow the "；anecdotal evidence"；. The hope is that one day what they have learned will prove to be extremely useful in predicting earthquakes more accurately, thus saving millions of lives.

A. Exactly what animals have sensed can'；t be fully understood.

B. The connection between them has never been scientifically made.

C. Other researchers around the world, however, have not given up on the idea.

D. It is necessary to know if the animal behaviour is an advanced warning signal.

E. Records of similar animal foretelling of earthquakes have surfaced ever since.

F. Wild creatures also show various kinds of abnormal reactions before earthquakes.

G. Perhaps this sense that some animals appear to have can protect us from natural disasters.

15、答案：The root of the shocking distrust of the news media is not inaccuracy, but the confusion that readers feel when they read it every day.

17、答案：C

解析：推断。根据第二段首句"；In humans, babies can put a round shape in a round hole from around one year of age"；可知, 在大约一岁时, 婴儿就能将圆形物体放入圆孔中, 由此可推知C项正确。

18、答案：D

解析：理解具体信息。根据最后一段信息可知, 研究人员下一步将查明凤头鹦鹉是否完全依靠视觉线索还是也需要使用触觉来对物体的形状作出选择。

19、答案：D

解析：理解文章主旨要义。综观全文, 尤其是根据文章首句"；Goffin'；s cockatoos, a kind of small parrot native to Australasia, have been shown to have similar shape-recognition abilities to a human two-year-old"；可知, 文章主要讲述凤头鹦鹉出色的形状识别能力。故D项作文章标题最佳。

20、答案：EFABC

解析：①根据下文语境“鱼非常躁动,鸡停止下蛋,无数的宠物主人声称目睹了他们的狗和猫在地震前的怪异行为”可知,一些具体的动物在地震前有一些奇怪的行为,E选项“Records of similar animal foretelling of earthquakes have surfaced ever since.”能起到承上启下的作用,符合题意,故选E。
