An animal that is aware（意识）of itself has a high level of intelligence.‎ Awareness can be tested by studying whether the animal recognizes itself in the mirror, that is, its own reflected image（反射出的影像）．Many animals fail this exercise bitterly, paying very little attention to the reflected image. Only humans, and some intelligent animals like apes and dolphins, have been shown to recognize that the image in the mirror is of themselves.‎ Now another animal has joined the club. In the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, researchers report that an Asian elephant has passed the mirror self-reflection test. "We thought that elephants were the next important animal," said Diana Reiss of the Wildlife Conservation Society, an author of the study with Joshua M. Plotnik and Fans B．M. de Waal of Emory‎ ‎University. With their large brains, Reiss said, elephants "seemed like cousins to apes and dolphins."‎ The researchers tested Happy, Maxine and Patty, three elephants at the Bronx Zoo. They put an 8-foot-square mirror on a wall of the animals' play area (out of the sight of zoo visitors) and recorded what happened with cameras, including one built in the mirror.‎ The elephants used their long noses to find what was behind it, and to examine parts of their bodies.‎ ‎ Of the three, Happy then passed the test, in which a clear mark was painted on one side of her face. She could tell the mark was there by looking in the mirror, and she used the mirror to touch the mark with her long nose.‎ Diana Reiss said, "We knew elephants were intelligent, but now we can talk about their intelligence in a better way."‎ ‎45. What can mirror tests tell us about animals?‎ ‎ A. Whether they have large brains.‎ ‎ B ．Whether they have self-awareness.‎ ‎ C. Whether they enjoy outdoor exercises.‎ ‎ D. Whether they enjoy playing with mirrors.‎ ‎46. Why does the author mention apes and dolphins in the text?‎ ‎ A. They are most familiar to readers.‎ ‎ B ．They are big favorites with zoo visitors.‎ ‎ C. They are included in the study by Reiss.‎ ‎ D. They are already known to be intelligent.‎ ‎47. What made Happy different from Maxine and Patty?‎ ‎ A. She used her nose to search behind the mirror.‎ ‎ B. She recognized her own image in the mirror.‎ ‎ C. She painted a mark on her own face.‎ ‎ D. She found the hidden camera.‎ ‎【答案】BDB ‎***********************************************************结束 ‎[来源:学&科&网]‎ Today, there’s hardly an aspect of our life that isn’t being upended by the tons of information available on the hundreds of millions of sites crowding the Internet, not to mention its ability to keep us in constant touch with each other via electronic mail. “If the automobile and aerospace technology had exploded at the same pace as computer and information technology,” says Microsoft, “a new car would cost about $ 2 and go 600 miles on a small quantity of gas. And you could buy a Boeing 747 for the cost of a pizza.”‎ Probably the biggest payoff, however, is the billions of dollars the Internet is saving companies in producing goods and serving for the needs of their customers. Nothing like it has been seen since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, when power-driven machines began producing more in a day than men could turn out in nearly a year. “We view the growth of the Internet and e-commerce as a global trend,” says Merrill Lynch, “along the lines of printing press, the telephone, the computer, and electricity.”‎ You would be hard pressed to name something that isn’t available on the Internet. Consider: books, health care, movie tickets, construction materials, baby clothes, stocks, cattle feed, music, electronics, antiques, tools, real estate, toys, autographs of famous people, wine and airline tickets. And even after you’ve moved on to your final resting place, there’s no reason those you love can’t keep in touch. A company called FinalThoughts.com offers a place for you to store “afterlife e-mails” you can send to Heaven with the help of a “guardian angel”.‎ Kids today are so computer literate that it in fact ensures the United States will remain the unchallenged leader in cyberspace for the foreseeable(能预测的) future. Nearly all children in families with incomes of more than $‎75,000 a year have home computers, according to a study by the David and Lucile Packard Foundation. Youngsters from ages 2 to 17 at all income levels have computers, with 52% of those connected to the Internet. Most kids use computers to play games (some for 30 hours or more a week), and many teenage girls think nothing of rushing home from school to have e-mail chats with friends they have just left.‎ What’s clear is that, whether we like it or not, the Internet is an ever growing part of our lives ‎ and there is no turning back. “The Internet is just 20% invented,” says cyber pioneer Jake Winebaum. “The last 80% is happening now.”‎ ‎10. What can we learn from the Microsoft’s remark?‎ ‎ A. Today’s cars and airplanes are extremely overpriced.‎ ‎ B. Information technology has reached the point where improvement is difficult.‎ ‎ C. Information technology is developing at an amazing speed.[来源:Zxxk.Com]‎ ‎ D. There’s more competition in information technology industry than in car industry.‎ ‎11. According to the author, the biggest benefit of the Internet is that___.‎ ‎ A. it saves companies huge amounts of money ‎ ‎ B. it speeds up profit making ‎ C. it provides easy access to information ‎ ‎ D. it brings people incredible convenience ‎12. The author gives the example of FinalThoughts.com to make the point that____.‎ ‎ A. there are some genius ideas on the Internet ‎ B. some websites provide novel services to increase hits]‎ C. people can find good bargains on the Internet D. almost anything is available on the Internet ‎13. What can we learn from the fourth paragraph?‎ ‎ A. Many American children don’t put computers to good use.‎ ‎ B. The U.S. will stay ahead in the information technology in years.‎ ‎ C. Studies show that boys are more computer literate than girls.‎ ‎ D. There is a link between income and computer ownership.‎ ‎14. What is the message the author intends to convey?‎ ‎ A. We should have a positive attitude towards the changes the Internet brings.‎ ‎ B. The Internet is going to get firm hold of our lives some day.‎ ‎ C. The Internet is going to influence our lives even more greatly.‎ ‎ D. Children should be well prepared for the challenges in the information age.‎ ‎15 Which sentence has the phrase that possesses the same meaning as the one underlined in the fifth paragraph? ‎ A. Think nothing of it. It was my pleasure. ‎ B. He thinks nothing of the pain in his back for the moment.‎ C. Some can tell you that he has changed their lives, while others think nothing of him ‎ D. He thinks nothing of staying up all night in the Café bar.‎ 参考答案 10-15: CADBCD ‎***********************************************************结束 An analysis of studies in 40 countries around the globe proves a long-standing assumption that the more a person knows about science, the more he or she tends to support scientific efforts．‎ In fact, studies that have tested the link between a person's level of scientific knowledge and attitudes towards the field have generated mixed results．"It's been a very hard question," says sociologist Nick Allum of the University of Surrey in Guildford, UK．‎ To resolve the issue, Allum and his colleagues pulled together the results of nearly 200 surveys carried out between 2019 and ‎2003 in countries from Australia to Bulgaria．These studies assessed, for example, whether participants knew certain scientific facts and whether they supported developments in genetically modified food or nanotechnology．‎ To some extent, the results prove the belief widely held by science supporters: the more people know about science, the more favourably they tend to view it, in spite of other factors such as age, nationality and level of education．Allum presented his results at the meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in Washington DC last week．‎ But now this question is cleared up, researchers must begin to deal with more pressing questions, Allum says．"The argument should move on．"‎ His finding cannot, for example, show whether better science education will increase general support for the field．This is because researchers have yet to figure out whether people who learn more about science then tend to like it or, on the contrary, whether people who already like and support science are simply tend to learn further facts．‎ And a person's level of scientific knowledge actually goes a very tiny way towards explaining their attitudes towards science．Allum believes that there are probably far more important factors, such as their moral values, religious beliefs and political leaning．‎ And people's trust in science may be influenced by how tightly regulated they believe the process to be in their country．This might explain, in part, why those living in different countries tend to hold different attitudes: Europeans tend to be more doubtful of genetically modified crops ‎ than those in the United States, for example．‎ Finally, science lovers hope to strengthen support for the field, but it looks as if simple science education will not be enough．As Allum says: "It's all horribly complicated．"‎ ‎13．In Allum’s opinion, ______ will have little influence on a person’s attitude towards science．‎ ‎ A．scientific knowledge B．moral values ‎ ‎ C．religious beliefs D．political leaning ‎14．From the passage we can infer that ______． ‎ ‎ A．the surveys were carried out in a few countries ‎ B．Europeans love science more than Americans ‎ ‎ C．Allum kept his research results a secret ‎ D．Nick Allum is not a natural scientist ‎15．The underlined word ‘those’ refers to _____．‎ ‎ A．science lovers B．different attitudes ‎ ‎ C．people in general D．genetically modified crops ‎16．What is mainly talked about in this passage? ‎ ‎ A．Special beliefs of the sociologist Nick Allum．‎ ‎ B．Link between knowledge and love of science．‎ ‎ C．Ways in which people love science．‎ ‎ D．The function of science education 参考答案 13-16 ADCB ‎********************************************************结束
