34、width.In 2016, a study was published by Dr Csilla Ari and Dr Dominic DAgostino on giant manta rays (蝠鲼), which explored the idea of whether these elasmobranchs（软骨鱼类）could be classed as self-aware. Giant mantas have the largest brain of all fish species, suggesting complex social interactions and are

35、 often referred to as intelligent. For the study Ari and DAgostino used the mirror self-recognition test (MSR). It has been used to prove self-awareness in the great apes and Asian elephants.In order to confirm whether an animal can pass this test, researchers first expose the animals to a mirror. I

36、f they show social responses they likely perceived their mirror image as another individual and did not recognise themselves in the mirror. If they show repetitive and unusual movements they are considered potentially capable of passing the test. Next, researchers usually place a mark on the animals

37、 body. They then observe what happens when the marked animal is placed in front of a mirror. Animals that pass the test will typically adjust their positions so that they can get a better look at the new mark on their body, and may even touch or try to move it. Typically, they pay much more attentio

38、n to the part of their body that bears a new marking.In the study, due to the difficulties associated with marking a manta ray, observations were made instead in relation to mirror exposure only. Results showed that the Mantas exhibited unusual and highly repetitive movements and self-directed behav

39、iour when exposed to the mirror. More specifically they gave selective attention to the mirror by displaying significantly more repetitive movements than under control conditions as well as several unusual behaviours, such as exposing and observing their underside in the mirror and bubble blowing, s

40、imilar to what was observed when bottlenose dolphins were exposed to a mirror.Mantas are also able to change their colour, rapidly increasing the intensity of their white markings when a new individual approaches. This was not observed when they were exposed to the mirror, making it reasonable to as

41、sume that the animals did not recognize their mirror image as a new individual and that the observed behaviours were not part of normal social interaction.Overall, Ari and DAgostinos study provides evidence for behavioural responses known to be prerequisites（先决条件） for self-awareness and which have b

42、een used by other researchers to confirm self-recognition in ape species. This experiment shines a light on the potential cognitive capabilities of fish and calls into question the ethical (伦理道德的) practices of current fisheries. Protection in some regions does exist. Despite this, up to 1,000 giant

43、mantas are thought to be harvested from specific locations every year for their meat and gill rakers, the latter being traded as a kind of medicine.58. Dr Csilla Ari and Dr Dominic DAgostino conducted the study to _. A. explore how mantas can survive in extreme conditions B. display that mantas can

44、interact with human beings C. illustrate where self-recognition test can be appliedD. prove mantas have the ability to recognize themselves59. What is the second paragraph mainly about? A. The final result of Ari and DAgostinos study. B. The real purpose of Ari and DAgostinos study. C. The theoretic

45、al basis of Ari and DAgostinos study.D. The far-reaching significance of Ari and DAgostinos study.60. How did Ari and DAgostino make their findings?A. By observing mantas behaviours. B. By recording mantas colour changes.C. By collecting statistics from self-recognition tests. D. By comparing the di

46、fferences between mantas and apes.61. The result of Ari and DAgostinos study could lead to _. A. better protection of mantasB. larger-scale hunting for mantas C. tougher restriction on ethical fisheries D. further research into other sea animals CThe most important determining factor of success or f

47、ailure at work and in life is self-awareness, the ability to understand who we are, how others see us, and how we fit into the world.For millions of years, the ancestors of humans evolved painfully slowly. However, about 150,000 years ago there was an explosive development in the human brain where,

48、among other things, we gained the ability to examine our own thoughts, feelings and behaviours, as well as to see things from anothers point of view. Not only did this transformation create the foundation for art, spiritual practices and language, but it came with a survival advantage for our ancest

49、ors, who had to work together in order to survive.Though we may not face the same day-to-day threats to our existence, self-awareness is no less critical. There is strong scientific evidence that people who know themselves and how others see them are happier. They are smarter, superior students. The

50、y raise more mature children. They also tend to be more creative, confident and less aggressive.But for most people it is easier to choose self-delusion（自我欺瞒）rather than the cold hard truth. Our increasingly “me” focused society makes it easier to fall into this trap. Recent generations have grown u

51、p in a world obsessed with self-esteem（自负）, constantly being reminded of their special qualities. Not only are our assessments often flawed（有缺陷）, but we are usually terrible judges of our own performance and abilities from leadership skills to achievements at school and work. Whats scary is that the

52、 least competent people are usually the most confident in their abilities.How can we avoid this fate? We must work on two specific types of insight. Internal self-awareness is an inward understanding of our passions and aspirations, strengths and weaknesses and so on. And external self-awareness, kn

53、owing how others see you, means understanding yourself from the outside in.It would be easy to assume that someone with internal self-awareness would also be externally aware that being in touch with our feelings and emotions helps us tune into how were seen. Strangely, research has often shown no r

54、elationship between the twosome studies have even revealed an inverse（相反的）one.For those looking to gain true insight, remember that other people often see us more objectively than we see ourselves and that self-examination can have hidden pitfalls（陷阱）that make insight actually impossible.62. The fir

55、st three paragraphs center around _. A. the intelligence gap between modern men and their ancestors B. the sharp contrast between self-awareness of today and the past C. the necessity of a shift in self-awareness to satisfy the needs todayD. the significance of self-awareness in human survival and a

Competent people tend to be unconfident of their leadship skills. D. Modern people fail to bring their special qualities into full play. 64. What does the writer stress in this passage?A.
