31、e, or even in someones home. The parrot has learned to copy sounds that people make. Birds are not the only animals that can copy the noises they hear. Dolphins, bats, and some apes also copy sounds. Now we can add elephants to this list of copycats.Dr. Joyce Poole is a zoologist. She studies the so

32、unds of elephants. While she was in Kenya, she would hear strange noises made by Mlaika after sunset. Mlaika was a 10-year-old African elephant.Mlaika lived near a highway. Dr. Poole says, “I could not tell the difference between Mlaikas call and the distant truck noise.” She and other scientists st

33、udied Mlaikas sounds. It turned out that Mlaika was copying the sounds of the trucks driving by. Why would Mlaika copy trucks that she heard going by on the highway? Animals that are able to copy sounds may enjoy practicing new sounds. When they are kept outside of their natural environment, they ma

34、y copy unusual sounds. That may be why an elephant would copy the sound of a truck. “Mlaika was not the only copycat elephant,” Dr. Poole says. Calimero is a 23-year-old male African elephant. He spent 18 years with two female Asian elephants. Asian elephants make chirping sounds (sounds made by bir

35、ds) to talk with one another. African elephants usually do not make chirping sounds. But Calimero now does. He is copying his Asian elephant friends. Dr. Poole says that elephants need to form bonds with their family and friends. She says, “They make sounds to communicate with each other. When they

36、are separated, they use sounds to keep in contact.”Parrots, dolphins, humans, and elephants show that being a copycat is one way that animals and people make new friends and keep old ones.【小题1】. According to the passage, what does Mlaika copy?A. The sound of people.B. The sound of trucks.C. The soun

37、d of Calimero.D. The sound of birds.【小题2】. Why is Calimero mentioned in the passage?A. To clarify the meaning of copycat elephants. B. To show the cleverness of African elephants. C.

A. how long it takes for an elephant to learn a new soundB. why the African elephant can make chirping soundsC. why the Asian elephants make noises after sunsetD. how Asian and African elephants are alike【小题4】. According to the passage, why do some animals like to be copycat

39、s? A. To keep in touch with nature. B. To please people and other animals. C. To make new friends and keep old ones. D. To avoid the danger from the outside world. 【答案】【小题1】B【小题2】C【小题3】B【小题4】C考点：考查故事类短文阅读BMatthew HensonArctic ExplorerIn 1880, fourteen-year-old Matthew Henson loved to hear sailors te

40、ll tales of their exciting lives at sea. The travel, the adventure, the danger, and the steady pay were all attracting young Henson. One day, he found a job as a cabin boy on a beautiful ship called the Katie Hinds. For the next five years, Henson sailed around the world. With the help of the ships

41、captain and other members of the crew, Henson learned mathematics, navigation, history, geography, and many other subjects. By the time he left the Katie Hinds in 1885, Henson was well educated and had become an excellent seaman. Unable to find work anywhere else, Henson took a job in a hat shop in

42、Washington, D.C. One day in 1887, a man came in to buy a hat. The man, Robert Peary, asked the owner if he knew anyone with experience at sea. Peary would soon travel to South America for the U.S. government. He needed experienced men to accompany him. The shop owner knew about his young employees s

43、kills and experience on ocean journeys, so he introduced Peary to Henson.Using his map-reading and sailing skills, Henson proved himself to be a worthy and smart seaman. Peary soon made Henson his assistant, and they became close friends. One day Peary told Henson about his real dream: to be the fir

44、st man to stand on “the top of the world” at the North Pole. He asked Henson to help him make his dream come true. Over the next five years, the two explorers made two trips together to the Arctic. However, they were not able to reach the pole either time. The cold, wind, and ice were worse than eit

45、her of them had ever imagined. In 1908, Peary and Henson were ready to make their final attempt at reaching the North Pole. Both men were over forty years old. The years of hardship in the arctic cold had made them suffer a lot. This would be their last chance. With four Inuit guides, they made a ma

46、d rush straight across the ice toward the pole. Pearys feet were injured and he had to be pulled on a dogsled. In April 1909, Hensons instruments showed they were standing at the North Pole. Together Henson and Peary planted the American flag in the snow. In later years, Robert Peary and Henson were

47、 greatly honored for their achievements. Today, the two friends and fellow explorers lie in heroes graves not far apart in the Arlington National Cemetery. 【小题1】.

In some parts of the world you can still find tools that people used mor

51、e than two million years ago. They made these tools by hitting one stone against another. In this way, they broke off pieces from one of the stones. These chips of stone were usually sharp on one side. People used them for cutting meat and skin from dead animals, and also for making other tools out

52、of wood. Human beings needed to use tools because they did not have sharp teeth like other meat eating animals, such as lions and tigers. Tools helped people to get food more easily.Working with tools also helped to develop human intelligence. The human brain grew bigger, and human beings began to i

53、nvent more and more tools and machines. The stone chip was one of the first tools that people used, and perhaps it is the most important. Some scientists say that it was the key to success of mankind. Since 1960 a new kind of tool has appeared. This is the silicon chip (硅芯片). It is smaller than a fi

54、nger nail, but it can store lots of information. It is an electronic brain. Every year these chips get cleverer, but their size gets smaller, and their cost gets less. They are used in watches, calculators and intelligent machines that we can use in many ways. In the future we will not need to work

55、with tools in the old way. Machines will do everything for us. People will have plenty of spare time. But what will they do with it? Human beings used stone chips for more than two million years, but human life changed very little in that time. We have used silicon chips for only a few years, but life is changing faster every day. What will life be like twenty years from now? What will the wor
