一、阅读理解
Monkeys
seem to have a way with numbers.
A team
of researchers trained three Rhesus monkeys to
associate 26
clearly different symbols
consisting of numbers and selective letters
with
0-25
drops
of
water
or
juice
as
a
reward.
The
researchers
then
tested
how the monkeys
combined
—
or
added
—
the symbols to get the
reward.
Here's
how
Harvard
Medical
School
scientist
Margaret
Livingstone,
who
led the team, described
the experiment: In their cages the monkeys were
provided with touch screens. On one
part of the screen, a symbol would
appear,
and
on
the
other
side
two
symbols
inside
a
circle
were
shown.
For
example,
the
number
7
would
flash
on
one
side
of
the
screen
and
the
other
end
would
have
9
and
8.
If
the
monkeys
touched
the
left
side
of
the
screen
they would be rewarded with seven drops
of water or juice; if they went
for the
circle, they would be rewarded with the sum of the
numbers
—
17
in
this example.
After running hundreds of
tests, the researchers noted that the
monkeys
would
go
for
the
higher
values
more
than
half
the
time,
indicating
that they were
performing a calculation, not just memorizing the
value
of each combination.
When the team examined the results of
the experiment more closely,
they
noticed
that
the
monkeys
tended
to
underestimate
（低估）
a
sum
compared
with
a
single
symbol
when
the
two
were
close
in
value
—
sometimes
choosing,
for example, a 13
over the sum of 8 and 6. The underestimation was
systematic: When adding two numbers,
the monkeys always paid attention
to
the larger of
the two,
and
then added
only a
fraction
（小部分）
of
the
smaller
number to it.
in their
brains,
they're doing is paying
more
attention to the big
number than the
little
one. ”

testing them?
A. They fed them.
B. They named them.
C. They
trained them.
D. They measured them.
2. How did the monkeys get their reward
in the experiment?
A. By drawing a
circle.
B. By touching a screen.
C. By watching videos.
D. By
mixing two drinks.
3. What did
Livingstone's team find about the monkeys?
A. They could perform basic addition.
B. They could understand simple words.
C. They could memorize numbers easily.
D. They could hold their attention for
long.
*4. In which section of a
newspaper may this text appear?
A.
Entertainment. B. Health. C. Education.
D. Science.

三、读后续写
A
farmer
grew
some
vegetables
in
his
garden.
One
day
his
wife
was
ill
and
he
had
no
money.
He
had
to
sell
some
cabbages
and
carrots
in
the
market.
The next morning he
took two baskets of vegetables to town. But it was
raining heavily that afternoon and
there were few people in the street.
When his vegetables were sold out, it
was dark. He bought some medicine
and
hurried to his village.
On
his
way
home
he
saw
a
person
lying
on
the
snow.
He
placed
his
baskets
on
the
ground
and
was
going
to
help
the
person
to
stand
up.
At that
time,
he found it was a dead
man and there was much blood on his body. He was
so
afraid that
he
ran away quickly,
without taking
the baskets with him.
The
next
afternoon
the
farmer
was
sent
to
the
police
station.
Having
shown the baskets, an
officer asked, “Are these yours?”
“Yes, sir.” the farmer answered
timidly(胆怯地
).
“Have you
killed the man
?”
“No, no, sir.” the farmer said in a
hurry.
“When did you see
the dead man?”
“At about
seven last night.”
