They may be only reacting. I would like to confront the Professor with an instance of reasoning power on the part of an insect which cannot be explained away in any other manner.During the summer, while I was at work on my doctoral thesis, we kept a female wasp at our cottage. It was more like a child of our own than a wasp, except that it looked more like a wasp than a child of our own. That was one of the ways we told the difference.It was still a young wasp when we got it and for some time we could not get it to eat or drink, it was so shy. Since it was female, we decided to call it Miriam.One evening I had been working late in my laboratory fooling around with some gin and other chemicals, and in leaving the room I tripped over a line of diamonds which someone had left lying on the floor and knocked over my card index which contained the names and addresses of all the larvae worth knowing in North American. The cards went everywhere.I was too tired to stop to pick them that night. As I went, however, I noticed the wasp was flying about in circles over the scattered cards. “Maybe Miriam will pick them up”, I said half laughingly to myself, never thinking for one moment that such would be the case.When I came down the next morning Miriam was still asleep in her box, evidently tired out. And well she might have been. For there on the floor lay the cards scattered all about just as I had left them the night before. The faithful little insect had bussed about all night trying to come to some decision about picking them up and arranging them in the boxes for me, and then had figured out for herself that, as she knew practically nothing on larvae of any sort except wasp larvae, she would probably make more of a mess of rearranging them than if she had left them on the floor for me to fix. It was just too much for her to tackle, and discouraged, she went over and lay down in her box, where she cried herself to sleep.1. Professor Bouvier most probably agrees that _.A. insects reasoning power has nothing to do with intelligenceB. wasps can only behave in an instinctive mannerC. wasps are different from other winged creaturesD. the issue of insects intelligence need further research2. The author took the wasp Miriam to the cottage because _.A. Miriam was treated like a childB.

When the card index scattered on the floor, the author _.A. decided to pick them up the next morningB. believed Miriam would pick them upC. didnt understand why Miriam flew about over the cardsD. found it ridiculous that Miriam would pick them up4. By saying “And well she might have been” (Sen. 2, Para. 6), the author thinks that Miriam was _.A. exhaustedB. intelligentC. energeticD. depressed5. Which of the following statement was based on facts rather than on the authors pure thinking?A. Miriam cried herself to sleep.B. Miriam had bussed about all night.C. Miriam could only tell wasp larvae.D. Miriam had left the cards on the floor.Careful Reading Passage 2The 35-year-old Beijing woman is watching an ad showing a giant television made by the Chinese company Haier. A stream of introduction for the television floats in and out of view, including one about receiving electronic mail over the tube. A surfer rides the waves between skyscrapers, his wash leaving an “” in the water. The ad is “too direct”, she tells an interviewer. “There is this guy talking, telling me all about the product, showing me some images. We get it but we dont like it.”Since a Shanghai television station aired Chinas first TV commercial in 1979, most have been the plain, straightforward, tell-the-name-of-the-product-and-what-it-does kind. Those started disappearing the U.S. in the late 1960s in favor of more subtle pitches using irony and humor. Now a study says Chinese commercials dont have to talk down to consumers anymore either at least the one-third of them living in Chinas prosperous cities, and who most interest advertisers.Even the Western agencies that win awards elsewhere for hip, inventive commercials usually keep it simple in China. After all this country only began flirting with capitalism 20 years ago and is fairly new to advertising. And to consumer culture, too. China is still a developing nation where an income of just $2,0000 a year qualifies an urban household as middle-class. On the other hand, city people who once aspired to own the “big three” a television, refrigerator and washing machine have already moved up to DVD players and mobile phones. And with a population of 1.3 billion, the worlds largest, China is a huge market. That is why the worlds largest companies, from Coca-Cola to Procter $ Gamble, are battling it out in China. Advertisers spent more than $500 million dollars through the first half of the year, estimates market researcher, making China the largest advertising market in Asia after Japan.The prevailing view of many of those advertisers and their agencies is that the Chinese dont yet get clever or subtle advertising and they prefer a straightforward ad with lots of information. But the April survey of almost 500 people in five Chinas largest cities discovered “a savvy urban population, tired of a diet of boring ads and hungry to be treated as the sophisticated decision-makers they are.” In short, the Chinese appreciation of what makes a good ad is no different from their counterparts anywhere else in the world.1. The 35-year-old woman was dissatisfied with the Haire TV because _.A. there is too much misleading information about itB. its function is too similar to that of a computerC. its advertisement was too difficult to understandD. it has been advertised in a simple-minded way2. By saying that “Chinese commercials dont have to talk down to consumers”, the author suggests that _.A. the plain and straight-forward way of advertising should be abolishedB. it is not necessary to take up irony and humor in advertisementC. advertisers are more interested in how to attract the high-class citizensD. those disappearing in the U.S. may be just appropriate in China3. What can we learn about the consumer culture in China?A. It is not as complicated as that outside China.B. It has not been fully understood yet.C. Its influence on advertising is still limited.D. It is one of the most important products of capitalism4. The author will agree that Chinas middle-class households _.A. are interested in inventive ads instead of simple onesB. earn less than the overseas middle-class households C. contribute most to Chinas consumer marketD. no longer aspired to own the “the big three”5. The passage mainly intends to discuss _.A. the most effective ways of advertising in ChinaB. the development of advertising styles in ChinaC. consumers view on the ads in ChinaD. a misconception on the ads in ChinaCareful Reading Passage 3The HMS Ontario is one of the most famous shipwrecks and was discovered by two Rochester engineers Jim Kennard, 64, who has spent more than half his life pursuing The HMS Ontario, along with Dan Scoville, 35, a shipwreck diver. They discovered The HMS Ontario deep off the southern shore of Lake Ontario when side-scanning sonar system that Mr. Kennard, a retired Kodak engineer, designed and built himself, showed a picture of something deep in Lake Ontario. The location of the shipwreck had been unknown for 228 years.Experienced ship wreck divers Jim Kennard and Dan Scoville have discovered seven of Lake Ontarios estimated 500 shipwrecks in the last six years alone. Jim Kennard also designed a microwave-sized remote submersible that they deployed to go down and take the shipwrecks video. The shipwreck is quite deep in Lake Ontario, so the remote machine with video was very useful.“Right away we saw the quarter gallery, the windows in the stern, the cannons,” said Jim Kennard. “There was no mistaking. Thats when we started getting excited.” The discovery of the ship wreck was confirmed by The HMS Ontario expert Canadian Arthur Britton Smith, who authored the definitive book on the HMS Ontario. The loss of the HMS Ontario, is one of the worst-ever disasters recorded on Lake Ontario. In her time The HMS Ontario was the most-feared ship on the Great Lakes. It was 1780 and the Yankees were threatening to storm across Lake Ontario and seize Montreal from the British. But the intimidating 226-ton Ontario 22 cannons, two 80-foot masts, a beamy hull with cargo space for 1000 barrels, was intimidating. On Oct. 31, 1780, she sailed into a storm with around 120 passengers on board and was never seen again. The British tried to keep the news of the ship wreck hush hush.The HMS Ontario appears to be in perfect shape and The HMS Ontario has aged remarkably well though zebra mussels cover much of the woodwork. Leaning on a 45-degree angle, her masts still jut straight up from her decks where several guns lie upside-down and a brass bell, brass cleats an
