47、 with humans. that way, there would be no reason why these test subjects would have a past history of identifying human faces. so they picked the archerfish, a reef fish variety that shoots water into the air to knock its prey out of the sky. they used this adaptation to have the fish spray water at

48、 a face on a monitor hanging over their tanks for a reward. most of the fish were able to pick out their learned face, even when colors were taken away or methods were used to make the face shapes unclear.this study gives more backing to the hypothesis that differentiating between faces is not just

49、a skill that big -brained organisms are born with. it is possible that a good portion of recognizing faces is learned over time. the development of the neocortex may contribute only to quickly process a large number of faces in varying situations. but more work needs to be conducted to find a deeper

50、 link to this possible learned behavior. the sample size of this study was very smallonly eight fish were used altogether. also, the faces displayed on the monitor were only white, female faces from a german database, shown in a frontal view, with no expressions. other animal trials have shown that

54、辨人脸不仅仅是人类所拥有的技能，鱼也能做到。文章说明了研究人员用射水鱼来进行研究的原因，以及试验过程。作者对这项研究持谨慎态度，认为还需要做更多的工作来找到这种可能的习得行为的更深层次的联系。【12题详解】推理判断题。根据第一段中but a new study out from the journal scientific reports says that this is not just a skill that humans possess. even fish can do it.可知但科学报告杂志的一项新研究表明，这不仅仅是人类所拥有的技能。甚至鱼也能做到。结合文章说明了科学报告杂志

55、的一项新研究表明，分辨人脸不仅仅是人类所拥有的技能，鱼也能做到。文章说明了研究人员用射水鱼来进行研究的原因，以及试验过程。作者对这项研究持谨慎态度，认为还需要做更多的工作来找到这种可能的习得行为的更深层次的联系。由此可推知，这篇文章的目的是表明动物可以识别人的脸。故选d。【13题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段中following up on research studying different species abilities to recognize human faces (sheep, dogs, cows, horses, and-birds have all been tried)

56、, the researchers from the university of oxford and the university of queensland decided to pick an animal that does not have an evolved neocortex, the part of the brain that processes sight and sounds, and does not have a close relationship with humans. that way, there would be no reason why these
