Scientists at Queen Mary University of London did an experiment with bees. It shows that bees can learn something new to gain reward(奖励). Then they can teach other bees to do the same. And thats not all they can do. Olli Luokola was one of the scientists who worded on the study. He said that the bees did not just copy what they saw. They actually improved on what they were learning. “This is of course amazing for small-brained insects,” he said. He added that it is even harder for humans to improve on something they learned by copying others.For the experiment, the bees had to move a yellow ball into the center of a platform(平台). First, the scientists showed the bees how to do it. When the ball got into the center, the scientists added sugar water to reward the subjects. The bees learned that the rewards came when the ball was put in the right place. They got better and better at moving the balls. Then, they got more of the reward. After a while, they began to move the balls by themselves.The scientists tried something else. They put the trained bees on a platform with bees that were not trained. After watching the trained bees once, the untrained bees learned how to do it too. They didnt just copy the behavior, though. The new bees also improved on the action；They chose balls closer to themselves. All brains-in people and people-have neurons(神经元) let you think. Scientist Reese Halter says bees are “highly intelligent creatures,” even though they have far fewer neutrons than humans. Halter explained that bees talk to each other with their bodies, but not like what we do. They use their bodies instead of words. They butt heads, bump into each other and they even dance. Luokola said scientists used to think that the smaller the brain, the less intelligent the animal! But this study proves(证明)that is not true.16 . The word “experiment” in the passage is most probably _.Aa medical programBa scientific testCan animal storyDa biology expert17 . According to paragraph 1, which of the following is TRUE about study?AIt helps humans to get better at something by copying.BIt teaches bees to copy what they saw and do the same.CIt shows bees can learn something new to gain a reward.DIt trains the bees how to move a ball to the right place.18 . Paragraph 2 mainly talks about_.Awhat kind of balls bees movedBwhy scientists help bees to get a rewardCwhere bees moved the ballsDhow bees are trained to move the balls19 . From paragraph 3, we can learn that scientists_.Ahave always believed that bees are highly intelligentBexplain that bees talk to each other in body languagesChave questioned whether the studys results are correctedDexplain that bees are unable to learn from one another20 . What is the main idea of this passage?ABees are very intelligent insects though they have tiny brains.BBees can talk by bumping into one another and even dancing.CBees can copy a behavior they see but hardly improve upon it.DBees are smart enough to get a reward without moving a ball.If the eyes are the windows of the soul,then the body is the mirror of our feelings. If we are feeling great,we may give our body signals(信号). If we look at someone elses body,we can often tell how they are feeling by their body signals. So reading body language signals is a great tool in daily communication.In case(假使) you dont think that learning how to read and use body language is important,here are some numbers for you. 7% of the information we receive is from what people actually say,and 38% of the information we receive is from the tone(语气) and the speed of their voice;while 55% of the information we receive is from their body language.These non-verbal(非口头的) signals will help you a lot,but you still need to focus on what people are saying. If you focus too much on their body language signals,you and the person may feel uncomfortable. It is useful to be able to read peoples body language,but it is useful to learn how to send the right signals and avoid the wrong signals too. Body language may be given several interpretations. Many signals have different meanings,depending on the person and the situation. Be sure of it when you are trying to read a body language signal.21 . The numbers mentioned in the second paragraph are to .Aexplain what body language isBshow the importance of body languageCtell us body language is less used than verbal languageDtell us body language is the only tool in communication22 . What is the meaning of the underlined sentence in the last paragraph?ABody language is widely used all over the world.BBody language can be explained in different ways.CIts too hard to understand the meanings of body language.DPeople have already looked through many books on body language.23 . According to the writer,body language is very .Asimple to learnBnegative to be usedChard to understandDhelpful in communication24 . According to the text,which of the following is TRUE?ABody language is uncomfortable.BWhat people are saying is not important.CBody language can show your emotion.DTo send wrong signals is not body language.A man goes to see one of his friends. He starts in the morning and now its afternoon. He sees a box of good apples on the road(路). He takes up the apples and says, “I dont want to eat those apples. My friend will give me much more food. He will give me very nice food like beef, chicken and fish.” So he throws(扔) them away. He goes on and comes to a river. He can swim but the river is too big. So he cannot go over it. He waits(等待) for some time, but no people can help him. Then he says, “I cant go to my friends house today.”So he begins to go home. He eats no food that day and is very hungry.

But Ive discovered a way to e35 . the excitement of climbing rock. Indoor climbing is an easy and exciting way to get a taste of rock climbing. And it is also much cheaper and safer! Indoor climbers dont climb on r36 . rock, but on a plastic wall. You can probably find a climbing wall near you. Many gyms, schools and camps have one. You can climb indoors at any time of the year, no matter how the whether is. It is usually not expensive. Most gyms p37 . the equipment you need. The convenience of indoor climbing is one reason why it has become so popular. But the r38 . people climb is for rush (刺激感) they get. When I stand at the foot of the wall and look up, Im always scared, but once I start climbing, fear changes to determination. With my heart pounding (心剧烈跳动), I reach the top and look down. I cant stop grinning（咧嘴而笑）. I did it!Indoor climbing is a great workout (锻炼). Climbing uses muscles (肌肉) that are hard to exercise, e39 . those in the shoulders, arms, chest and back. Many people say climbing makes exercise fun. Most gyms have several climbing walls with v40 . degrees of difficulty. The easy ones are like climbing a ladder. The difficult ones bulge out (凸出) in places so that climbers must sometimes climb parallel (平行的) with the floor.Although gym climbing is safer and simpler than real rock climbing, you should still be careful. Always climb with a partner. As you climb, your partner pulls you climbing rope t41 . something called a belay device (绳索控制器). The belay catches you if you slip. But make sure your partner knows how to use this equipment. And if you are a first-time climber, get some instruction before you begin.五、语法填空Do you have a dog?42 . you do, never feed chocolate to your dog. Here is my story. I have43 . pet dog named Pipi. Pipi is a lovely brown dog44 . short fur. He is one of my best45 . (friend). He likes following46 . (I) wherever (无论哪里) I go. And I like to teach him some tricks (把戏). It was a47 . (bore) afternoon, and I taught Pipi a new trick. It was quite exciting because he learned it very 48 . (good). I decided to feed something delicious to him. There was just a chocolate bar on the table, so I49 . (get) a small piece and gave it to Pipi. That evening, Pipi looked weak (虚弱的). He lay (躺) under the chair and was very quiet. I quickly sent Pipi to the animal centre. The doctor told me that chocol
