11、 were, for a long time, considered second-class citizens.As Annie Potts of Canterbury University has noted, chickens distinguish among one hundred chicken faces and recognize familiar individuals even after months of separation. When given problems to solve, they reason: hens trained to pick colored

12、 buttons sometimes choose to give up an immediate food reward for a slightly later (and better) one. Healthy hens may aid friends, and mourn when those friend die.Pigs respond meaningful to human symbols. When a research team led by Candace Croney at Penn State University carried wooden blocks marke

13、d with X and O symbols around pigs, only the O carriers offered food to the animals. The pigs soon ignored the X carriers in favor of the Os. Then the team switched from real-life objects to T-shirts printed with X or O symbols. Still, the pigs walked only toward the O-shirted people: they had trans

14、ferred their knowledge to a two-dimensional format, a not inconsiderable feat of reasoning.Ive been guilty of prejudiced expectations, myself. At the start of my career almost four decades ago, I was firmly convinced that monkeys and apes out-think and out-feel other animals. Theyre other primates(灵

15、长目动物), after all, animals from our own mammalian(哺乳动物的) class. Fairly soon, I came to see that along with our closest living relatives, whales too are masters of cultural learning, and elephants express profound joy and mourning with their social companions. Long-term studies in the wild on these ma

16、mmals helped to fuel a viewpoint shift in our society: the public no longer so easily accepts monkeys made to undergo painful procedure kin laboratories, elephants forced to perform in circuses, and dolphins kept in small tanks at theme parks.Over time, though, as I began to broaden out even further

17、 and explore the inner lives of fish, chickens, pigs, goats, and cows, I started to wonder: Will the new science of food animals bring an ethical (伦理的) revolution in terms of who we eat? In other words, will our ethics start to catch up with the development of our science?Animal activists are alread

18、y there, of course, committed to not eating these animals. But what about the rest of us?

29、ce over the next eight weeks was inspired by a Hollywood movie called The Joneses about a family of marketers who move into a local neighborhood to sell their products secretly to their neighbors. The idea was to test the power of word-of-mouth marketing. By filming a rear family in unscripted (无剧本的

30、) situations, my team and I would document how the Morgensons circle of friends responded to brands and products the Morgensons bought into their lives.With the help of 35 video cameras and 25 microphones hidden in side the furniture, the operation done secretly showed something shocking. The most p

31、owerful hidden persuader of all isnt in your TV or on the shelves of your supermarket. Its a far more important influence thats around you almost every waking moment: your very own friends and neighbors. There is nothing quite so persuasive as observing someone we respect or admire using a brand or

32、product.Our analysis also found that the brands the Morgensons used went faster. About one third of the Morgensons friends began promoting these same brands to their friends. We also found that the brands their friends were most likely to buy at the Morgensons suggestion were the bigger and better-k

33、nown ones. This proved my thoughts that traditional marketing and secret marketing work well together. The most persuasive advertising strategies are strengthened by word-of-mouth advertising.Whenever I meet with company managers, I tell them that the people who hold the real marketing power are mou

Our fear of them has brought them to the edge of dying out, as we have cruelly killed them as compet

45、itors and trouble-makers. But researchers are discovering that the very fear they put into prey（被捕食者）species is exactly what helps make ecosystems（生态）healthy.Yellowstone National Park is a typical example of just how wolves can help repair an ecosystem. An October 2018 study analyzed 40 years of res

46、earch on large animals inside the park.“Yellowstone has benefited from the reintroduction of wolves in ways that we did not anticipate, especially the complexity of biological interactions（互动） in the park,” explained Mark Boyce, a professor in the Department of Biological Sciences. “We were really s

47、urprised at that and we d never have seen these responses if the park hadnt adopted ecological-process managementallowing natural ecological processes to take place with least human intervention.”After the wolves were re-introduced at Yellowstone, willow and cottonwood trees increased in number. The

48、 population of bears and bison also rose and what was once a ruling deer-wolf interaction is now more diverse.To learn more about just how wolves are beneficial, a short documentary from Quest explains how the presence of wolves influences the behavior of deer, which eventually makes entire ecosyste

49、ms more biologically diverse and healthy. In this documentary, biologist Aaron Wirsing explored why wolves and other top predators （捕食者） were needed for diverse ecosystems to develop. Using a simple video camera, Wirsing is gaining a unique view point on predator-prey relationships and changing the

50、way we think about wolves.The research is one more piece of evidence for why protecting these top predators is important not just for wolves as a species, but for hundreds of species at every level of an ecosystem. The fear they bring along may be the very angle that helps save them from dying out.1

53、 idea of the passage?AThe fear of wolves is beneficial to ecosystems.BThe fear of wolves put them in danger of disappearing.CYellowstone National Park owes its healthy ecosystems to wolves.DThe introduction of wolves in Yellowstone National Park is a success.第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节）第一节（每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，
