researchers say these mobile ears have become a useful communication tool. their studies of animal behaviour build up a picture of how communication and social skills developed. “were interested in how they communicate,” said lead researcher jennifer wathan.“and being sensitive to what another individual is thinking is a fundamental skill from which other more complex skills develop.”ms wathan and her colleague prof karen mccomb set up a behavioural experiment where 72 individual horses had to use visual clues from another horse in order to choose where to feed. they led each horse to a point where it had to select one of two buckets. on a wall behind this decision-making spot was a life-sized photograph of a horses head facing either to left or right. in some of the trials, the horses ears or eyes were covered. if the ears and eyes of the horse in the picture were visible, the horses being tested would choose the bucket towards which its gaze and its ears were directed. if the horse in the picture had either its eyes or its ears covered, the horse being tested would just choose a feed bucket at random.like many mammals that are hunted by predators（捕食者）, horses can rotate（旋转）their ears through almost 180 degrees - but ms wathan said that in our human-centric view of the world, we had overlooked the importance of these very mobile ears in animal communication.it seems theres something in the visual clues-from both the eyes and the ears-that are really important, she told bbc news. horses have quite rich social lives and relationships with other horses, so theyre a good species to look at this in. and the more we look at communication across different species, the more we can consider what might have promoted the evolution of sophisticated communication and social skills.28. why does a horse rotate its ears?a. to tell each other where they can go for the buckets.b. to be curious about what the other horse is thinking.c. to warn the other horse when an attacker is coming closer.d. to express its hope to build up social relations with others.29. why did the researchers use the life-sized photograph of a horse in the experiment?a. to help develop horses complex skills.b. to lead other horses to feed themselves.c. to make the horses in the experiment excited.d. to provide clues for the horses in the experiment.30. why are ears and eyes important to horses?a. they can find the feeding buckets more easily with ears and eyes.b. with ears and eyes they can escape from dangers more easily.c. with ears and eyes they can communicate with other horses.d. horses have quite rich social lives with ears and eyes.31. what can be the best title of the passage?a. rotary ears serve as communication tools.b. horses have more social skills than other species.c. experiments with horses ears.d. fundamental skills of horses.dtwo of the hardest things to accomplish in this world are to acquire wealth by honest effort and, having gained it, to learn how to use it properly. recently i walked into the locker room of a rather well-known golf club after finishing a round. it was in the late afternoon and most of the members had left for their homes. but a half-dozen or so men past middle age were still seated at tables talking aimlessly and drinking more than was good for them. these same men can be found there day after day, and, strangely enough, each one of these men had been a man of affairs and wealth, successful in business and respected in the community if material prosperity were the chief necessity for happiness, then each one should have been happy. yet, it seemed to me, something very important was missing, or else there would not have been the constant effort to escape the realities of life through scotch and soda. they knew, each one of them, that their productivity had ceased(停止)when a fruit tree ceases to bear its fruit, it is dying. and it is even so with man. what is the answer to a long and happy existence in this world of ours? i think i found it long ago in a passage from the book of genesis which caught my eye while i was looking through my bible. the words were few, but they became memorably impressed on my mind:“in the sweat of the face shall you eat the bread”to me, that has been a challenge from my earliest recollections (memories). in fact, the battle of life, of existence, is a challenge to everyone. the immortal words of st. paul, too, have been and always will be a great inspiration to me. at the end of the road i want to be able to feel that i have fought a good fight, i have finished the course, i have kept the faith.32. which of the following is indicated in the first paragraph?a. wealth results from honest effort.bthe men seated at tables in the locker room are lost in the significance of life.cfor some people, no way can be found to escape the realities of life other than scotch and soda.dthe men acquire wealth by planting fruit trees.33. the underlined sentence “in the sweat of the face shall you eat the bread” means “_”a. bread tastes delicious when sweat pours off your facebno pains, no gainscfailure is the mother of successdbread comes from the sweat on your face34. we learn from the passage that the author_awas a wealthy person in the communitybheld a positive attitude towards an active lifecwas fond of associating with celebrities (名人)dkept a secret of the reason why he was so impressed35. what is implied in the passage by the writer?ato use wealth properly, eat, drink and be merry.bwhere there is a will, there is a way.cas life is but like a dream, a man is like a fruit tree.dif you cease to struggle, you cease to live. 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。all over the world people enjoy sports.
