出版后，她经常讨论社会中的不平等，并妇女的权利。）可知，划线词汇意为"争取"。故选C。（4）细节理解题。根据第3段"Notonlydidshestudytheresearchofotherastronomers，butshewasabletofindherownresearch.Inthefieldofmathematics，WangZhenyiwroteanarticlecalled"TheExplanationofthePythagoreanTheoremandTrigonometry，"《勾股定理与三角法的解释》."（她不仅研究了其他天文学家的研究，还找到了自己的研究。在数学领域，王写了一篇文章叫《勾股定理和三角学的解释》。）可知，第3段说的是她的成就。故选A。（5）推理判断题。根据最后1段"Herstudiesweredifficultandsheoncesaid，"ThereweretimesthatIhadtoputdownmypenandsigh.ButIlovethesubject，Idonotgiveup.""（她的学习很困难，她曾经说过，"有时候我不得不放下笔叹息。但我热爱这门学科，我不会放弃。"）可推知，面对困难，我们永远不应该放弃学习。故选D。（10分）Scientistswhohavebeenstudyingagroupofsulphur﹣crestedcockatoos（葵花凤头鹦鹉）inSydneyhaverecentlymadeanamazingdiscovery：thebirdsknowhowtousepublicdrinkingfountains（喷泉式饮水器）togetwater.In2018，Dr.BarbaraKlumpnoticedacockatoodrinkingfromapublicdrinkingfountaininSydney.Shethoughtsomeonehadforgottentoturnoffthewater.Butafterlookingatavideo，sherealizedthatthebirdwasturningonthefountainbyitself.Dr.Klump'steamthendecidedtostudythecockatoosclosely.Theysetuptwocamerasnearadrinkingfountainthatthebirdsusedoften.Over44days，thecamerasrecordedthebirdsusingthefountain525times.Thescientistsfoundthateachbirddiditalittledifferently，buttheyallusedatleastonefoottoholddownthehandle（把手）onthefountainandturniton.Andsomeputtheirfootonthewateroutlet.Oncethewaterwasrunning，theytriedtodrinkfromthefountain.Cockatoosareactuallyveryintelligentbirds.Howevertheydidn'talwayssucceed.Thebirdsgotwaterinonlyabout41%oftheireffortstousethefountain.Thebirdshadanespeciallyhardtimewhentheywereinahurryorwhenothercockatoosweretryingtousethefountainatthesametime.Thescientistsaren'texactlysurewhythecockatoosstartedusingthedrinkingfountains.Theysayonepossiblereasonisthatthecleanwatertastesbettertothemthanwaterfromsmallpools.Anotherpossibilityisgreatersafety.There，thebirdscanwatchoutfordangerousbirdswhiledrinking.Dr.Klumpsaysit'salsopossiblethatthecockatoosjustlikethechallengeofmakingthefountainwork.11.WhatmadeDr.Klumpstartthestudyoncockatoos？DA.Cockatooswerethemostintelligentbirds.B.Cockatoosdrankfrompublicwaterfountains.C.Acockatooforgottoturnoffapublicfountain.D.Acockatooturnedonthewaterfountainbyitself.12.Accordingtothepassage，howdothecockatoosturnonthefountain？AA.Byusingatleastonefoot.B.Bywaitingforhumans'help.C.Bystandingonthewateroutlet.D.Byworkingtogetherwithotherbirds.13.Inwhichsituationwouldacockatoolikelyfailtogetwater？CA.Whendrinkingfromthesmallpools.B.Whenusingitsfoottopressthehandle.C.Whenseveralcockatoosusedonefountain.D.Whenthecamerasrecordedthebirds'behaviors.14.Whatismainlytalkedaboutinlastparagraph？BA.Thepublicfountainsmightbepollutedbybirds.B.Thepossiblereasonsbehindthisunusualbirdbehavior.CThewayscockatoosturnedonfountainswhendrinking.D.ThedifferenttypesofdangerousbirdslivinginSydney.15.Whichwouldbethebesttitleforthispassage？CA.AFamousBirdProtectorB.TheBestInventionforSydneyBirdsC.HowCockatoosUsedaHumanToolD.WhyBirdsShouldWatchOutWhileDrinking【解答】（1）细节理解题。根据第二段"In2018，Dr.BarbaraKlumpnoticedacockatoodrinkingfromapublicdrinkingfountaininSydney.Shethoughtsomeonehadforgottentoturnoffthewater.Butafterlookingatavideo，sherealizedthatthebirdwasturningonthefountainbyitself.（2018年，芭芭拉•克伦普博士注意到一只葵花凤头鹦鹉在悉尼的一个公共饮水喷泉处饮水。她以为有人忘了关水。但看了视频后，她意识到是那只鸟自己打开了喷泉。）"可知，一只葵花凤头鹦鹉自己打开了喷泉，这促使克伦普博士开始研究葵花凤头鹦鹉，故选D。（2）细节理解题。根据第三段"Thescientistsfoundthateachbirddiditalittledifferently，buttheyallusedatleastonefoottoholddownthehandle（把手）onthefountainandturniton.（科学家们发现，每只鸟的做法略有不同，但它们都用至少一只脚按住喷泉上的把手并打开它。）"可知，葵花凤头鹦鹉用至少一只脚打开喷泉，故选A。（3）细节理解题。根据第四段"Thebirdshadanespeciallyhardtimewhentheywereinahurryorwhenothercockatoosweretryingtousethefountainatthesametime.（当鸟儿匆忙时，或者当其他葵花凤头鹦鹉试图同时使用喷泉时，它们会特别困难。）"可知，当几只葵花凤头鹦鹉同时使用一个喷泉时，一只葵花凤头鹦鹉可能无法取到水，故选C。（4）段落大意题。根据最后一段"Thescientistsaren'texactlysurewhythecockatoosstartedusingthedrinkingfountains.Theysayonepossiblereasonisthatthecleanwatertastesbettertothemthanwaterfromsmallpools.Anotherpossibilityisgreatersafety.There，thebirdscanwatchoutfordangerousbirdswhiledrinking.Dr.Klumpsaysit'salsopossiblethatthecockatoosjustlikethechallengeofmakingthefountainwork.（科学家们并不确定为什么葵花凤头鹦鹉开始使用饮水喷泉。他们说，一个可能的原因是，对他们来说，干净的水比小水池里的水味道更好。另一种可能是更安全。在那里，鸟儿在喝水时可以提防危险的鸟类。克伦普博士说，也有可能葵花凤头鹦鹉只是喜欢让喷泉工作的挑战。）"可知，本段主要讨论了葵花凤头鹦鹉使用饮水喷泉这一不寻常行为背后的可能原因，故选B。（5）标题归纳题。
