Scientists at Queen Mary University of London did an experiment wi

12、th 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

13、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

14、 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

15、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

16、 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 b

17、odies, 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.1The word “experiment” in th

18、e passage is most probably _.Aa medical programBa scientific testCan animal storyDa biology expert2According 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 lea

19、rn something new to gain a reward.DIt trains the bees how to move a ball to the right place.3Paragraph 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 balls4From paragraph 3, we can learn that s

20、cientists_.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 another5What is the main idea of this passage?ABees are very intelligent in

21、sects 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.B14、An “egg-laying” cliff （产蛋岩）in Southwest China has attracted（吸引）a lot of intere

The largest rock weighs about 300 kg, with a diameter of 60 centimeters. Its called “the king of eggs.” Its said that Guiz

25、hou was once a large ocean, and that the rock eggs could have been produced by animals from the ocean. But nobody is sure about how they are formed.1The “egg-laying” cliff is famous because _.Athe rock eggs are very beautiful Bit is now in the seaCit can lay “eggs” every 30 years Dit is colorful and

28、utes reading product reviews on good websites, wrote down the names of three top recommendations (推荐) and headed for my nearest big camera store. There in the cupboard was one of the cameras on my list. And it was on special offer. Oh joy. I pointed at it and asked a salesgirl, “Can I have one of th

29、ose?” “Do you want to try it first? she said. It didnt quite sound like a question. “Do I need to?” I replied. “Theres nothing wrong with it?” “No, no. But you should try it,” she said encouragingly. “Compare it with the others.”I looked across at the others: shelves of similar cameras placed along

30、the wall, offering different prices. With so many models to choose from, it seemed that I would have to spend hours weighing X against Y, always trying to consider Z and possibly H at the same time.

31、e with: first, soon after I carried my new camera out of the shop,_; and second, my wonderful camera would very quickly be replaced by a new model.But something in the human soul whispers that you can beat these traps (陷阱) by making the right choice.

32、n. The salesgirl seemed a kind girl. So I let her take out my chosen camera from the cupboard, show how it took excellent pictures of my fellow shoppers. and when she started to introduce the special features, I cut in to ask whether I needed to buy a carry-case and a memory card as well.Why do we t

33、hink that new choices still offer us anything new? Perhaps it is because they offer a chance to avoid facing the fact that our real choices in this culture are far more limited than we would like to imagine.1The salesgirl insisted that the writer should _.Atry the camera to see if there was anything

34、 wrong with itBcompare the camera he had chosen with the othersCget more information about different companiesDtrust her and stop asking questions2What does the writer mean by “it would be worth half what I paid for it”?AThe camera was not good.BHe should get a lower price.CThe camera would soon fal

35、l in value.DThe price of the camera was too high.3The writer decided to try the model he had chosen because he _.Aknew very little about itBdidnt trust the salesgirl any moreCwanted to make sure he chose the best oneDwanted to take pictures of his fellow shoppers4It can be inferred from the passage

41、ower the home at night. This system reduces electricity bills and is friendly to the environment.Another type of sustainable housing is floating homes, or houseboats.
