（类推法）It was once thought that only humans could understand analogies，which help us to solve problems creatively，put things into categories，and make scientific discoveriesTo test this ability in animals，scientists dorelational matchingtosample（RMTS） tests，according to the IFL Science websiteIf a pair was AA，for example，then picking BB to match it would be correctIf the pair was CD，however，then EF would be correctApes and monkeys have learned RMTS，but scientists wanted to know if crows could do it，tooAn international team led by Edward Wasserman from the University of Iowa in the US first trained two hooded crows to match things by color，shape，and number in what is calledidentity matchingtosample（IMTS），then moved onto RMTSFor the IMTS test，the birds were put in a cage with a plastic tray that had three cards and two cups in itThe card in the middle was the sample cardThe cups on either side were covered with the other two cards：One was the same as the sample （in the color，shape，or number of shapes pictured），while the other wasntThe cup with the card that matched the sample card contained two wormsto eatIn the second part of the experiment，the birds were tested with relational matching pairsA card with two samesized circles，for example，meant they should pick the test card with two samesized squares and not two differentsized circlesThe birds did well in the more difficult test and picked the correct card more than three quarters of the time，Science News reportsWasserman was surprised that crows were able to solve the problem without any training in RMTSWhat the crows have done is extraordinary，he said in a news releaseHonestly，if it was only by force that the crows showed this learning，then it would have been an impressive resultBut this was spontaneousSo perhaps its time to stop sayingbirdbrainpermanently!46Why does the author mention the expressionbirdbrainin the opening paragraph？ATo get the reader interested in the origins of the expressionBTo urge people to stop saying that birds are stupidCTo introduce the topic of Edward Wasserman and his experimentsDTo introduce recent findings about crowsintelligence47Which of the following is TRUE about the tests on the hooded crows？AThe birds did better in RMTS than in IMTSBThe birds were first made to do RMTS，then IMTSCThe birds picked almost all the correct cards in RMTSDIn the IMTS test，the birds needed to identify the sample card to get rewards48In the RMTS test，if the birds were given the sample card with two samesized triangles，they had to pick the test card withAtwo samesized circlesBone circle and one triangleCtwo differentsized circlesDtwo differentsized triangles49The underlined wordspontaneousin the secondtolast paragraph is closest in meaning toAcentralBcreativeCnaturalDpredictable50Which of the following can be the best title for the passage？AMonkeys Are Clever Than CrowsBCrows Show ClevernessCCrows Did Well in RMTSDCrows May Understand Analogies51（12.5分）Many French academics，teachers and parents complain because they feel that intellectual levels are falling rapidly!The figures prove it：young people visit museums less，spend their lives chatting on the Internet，read nothing but Stephen King，while watching American soaps such as Friends or reality shows like Star Academy on television，music player glued to their cars，and the games console handyIt is，however，easy to see these habits in a positive lightMusic is the favorite leisure activity：86% of 14to18yearolds put it at the top of their activities，above the cinema（71%），clubbing（68%），sport（56%） and television（48%）For 90% of young people aged 14to 18，radio is also very popular：they listen to it every day without exceptionInternational popular music has a strong showing，but songs in French are still in the majority（60%）Young people do，of course，watch a lot of television，but less than their elders，and if they tend to choose mostly soaps and reality TV shows，that is because these are the programs people talk about，which encourages social interactionDo young people read less than they used to？Maybe，but thats also true of the eldersYoung people still read more than their eldersWhen asked，Do you like reading？，94% of 14to18yearolds say they do，and 81% are convinced that computers will never replace booksContrary to popular belief，reading continues to occupy an extremely important place in leisuretime activities，but the reading matter young people choose has changed considerably：there is a greater variety of media（computers and new technologies） and young people admit to taste they would perhaps have been ashamed of in the pastFor example，comic strips，Stenphen King or other authors not recognized by mainstream culture，such as Betty Mahmoody （Not Without My Daughter），Mary Higgins Clark or Jostein Gaader （Sophies World）As Beatrice Toulon，Editor in Chief of the magazine Phosphore，see it，They dont read the same things as their parents did，but they are not afraid to admit itThey have their own culture，which they flaunt（炫耀） openly!51The underlined partin a positive lightin Paragraph 2can best be replaced byAin the long termBduring
