Stories of Animals Acting Just Like Humans
◆Monkeys do math
If monkeys manage the world, we might have stayed away from the recent banking hardship.In an experiment led by Keith Chen at Yale, monkeys showed an understanding of pricing and planning the money, as well as a wish to stay away from losses when required to buy food with money.Make sense this one looks like it’s checking its stocks (股票) on a smart phone.Think that’s impressive?
◆Camel eats breakfast with people
The first time Joe ate with British farmers, he was uninvited.The four-year-old Bactrian camel(双峰驼) stuck his head through their open kitchen window, and emptied a fruit bowl.Now the couple, who rent out reindeer, camels, goats, and other creatures for television shows, movies, and photo shoots, set a place at their table for the confident double-humped creature, where Joe eats grain food and his favourite: bananas on toast.
◆Marmots (土拨鼠) befriend a boy
A group of marmots in the Austrian Alps has made friends with eight-year-old Matteo Walch by chance, whose family vacations there in summer.Typically, they beat their tails, chatter(吱吱叫), and whistle to warn other marmots of danger, but with Matteo, they behave much differently, allowing the boy to feed, pet, and even touch noses with them.“Watching them makes me feel a connection with nature，” says Matteo.How sweet!
( )11.In what way do monkeys behave like humans according to the text?
A．In character. B．In intelligence.
C．In communication. D．In the way of lifestyle.

【语篇解读】本文为记叙文，讲述了几个动物和人类行为相似的故事。
11．B 推理判断题。根据Monkeys do math部分的 “monkeys showed an understanding of pricing and planning the money，as well as a wish to stay away from losses when required to buy food with money(猴子们表现出了对定价和理财的理解，以及在需要用钱购买食物时避免损失的愿望)．”可推知，猴子在智力上表现得像人类。故B项正确。
12．A 细节理解题。根据Camel eats breakfast with people部分的 “Now the couple，who rent out reindeer，camels，goats，and other creatures for television shows，movies，and photo shoots(现在，这对夫妇把驯鹿、骆驼、山羊和其他动物出租出去用于电视节目、电影和摄影)…”可知，这对英国夫妇养这些动物是为了赚钱。故A项正确。
13．D 推理判断题。根据Marmots (土拨鼠)befriend a boy部分的 “A group of marmots in the Austrian Alps has made friends with eight-year-old Matteo Walch by chance，whose family vacations there in summer(奥地利阿尔卑斯山上的一群土拨鼠偶然结识了8岁的马泰奥·瓦尔奇，瓦尔奇一家夏天都在那里度假)．”可推知，马泰奥•瓦尔奇去奥地利阿尔卑斯山是和家人一起去度假的。故D项正确。
B
Animals, including insects, do not have a language like ours.They do not talk to each other in words and sentences.But if we watch them, we can see that they do have ways of communicating with each other.
Can you see the rabbits’ tail? When rabbits see this white tail moving up and down, they run too.The rabbit has reminded them of potential dangers without making a sound.It has given them a signal.
Many other animals use this kind of language.When a cobra(眼镜蛇) is angry, it raises its hood(兜帽) and makes itself look fierce.This warns other animals.When a bee has found some food, it goes back to its home.It cannot tell the other bees where the food is by speaking to them, but it does a little dance in the air.This tells the bees where the food is.
Some animals say things by making sound.A dog barks, for example, when a stranger comes near.A cat purrs when pleased.Some birds make several different sounds, each with its own meaning.Sometimes we human beings speak in the same way.We make sounds like “Oh” or “Ah！” when we are frightened or pleased or when we drop something on our toes.
But we have something that no animals have－a large number of words which have the meanings of things, actions, feelings or ideas.We are able to give each other all kinds of different information in words and sentences, which no other animals can do.No other animals have so wonderful a language as we have.
( )14.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A．Animals do have a language like that of human beings.
B．Bees communicate with each other by dancing.
C．Some animals can use words.
D．A dog barks to show its friendliness.
( )15.A rabbit uses its tail to ________.
A．warn other rabbits of danger B．tell other rabbits where food is
C．make itself look fierce D．help it to run fast
( )16.What is this passage mainly about?
A．Human’s language is more wonderful than animals’ language.
B．People should pay attention to animals’ body language and sounds.
C．Animals have their own ways to communicate with each other.
D．Animals are smarter than we think.
【语篇解读】本文为说明文，告诉读者：动物虽然没有人类的文字，却有自己的交流方式。
14．B 细节理解题。根据 “but it does a little dance in the air.This tells the bees where the food is(舞蹈告知同类食物位置)．”故选B项。
15．A 细节理解题。根据 “The rabbit has reminded them of potential dangers without making a sound(提醒同类有危险)．”故选A项。
16．C 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，各种动物都有自己的交流方式。故选C项。
C
A few weeks ago a group of scientists produced a report about global warming and the natural world.They wanted to find out if global warming was dangerous for plants and animals.The scientists were surprised by what they found.They saw that during the next 50 years about 25% of land animals and plants will disappear from the Earth.More than 1 million plants and animal species will die out by 2050.
The head of the research team, Christ Thomas, who is a professor of conservation biology at Leeds University，said the results of their research were frightening.More than 10% of all plants and animals will disappear from the Earth.It is too late to save many plants and animals because of the greenhouse gases that are already in the atmosphere.But the scientists say if we control greenhouse gases now，we can save many more plants and animals from disappearing.
The scientists studied some areas of the world with very rich biology.These areas were Europe, Australia, Central and South America, and South Africa.Their studies showed that species living in mountainous areas had a better chance of survival because they could move uphill to get cooler.In flat areas, such as deserts, plants and animals would have to move very long distances to get cooler, so they are in great danger of dying out.The scientists found many surprising things.For example, they found that half of the 24 species of butterfly they studied in Australia would soon disappear.
( )17.According to this passage, global warming can be best described as ________ to many plants and animals.
A．deadly B．surprising
C．disappointing D．frightening
( )18.What’s the purpose of the research led by Christ Thomas?
A．To protect animals and plants from global warming.
B．To call on people to control greenhouse gases.
C．To warn us of the dying out of many animals and plants.
D．To study the effect of global warming on animals and plants.
( )19.What can be the best title of this passage?
A．Greenhouse Effect and Global Warming
B．Extinct Animals in the World
C．A Frightening Discovery Concerning Global Warming
D．Disappearance of Butterflies
( )20.Why do species living in mountainous areas had a better chance of survival?
A．They have to move very long distances.
B．The earth is getting warmer.
C．They can move to high attitude to get cooler.
D．More species are disappearing.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇新闻报道。作者通过一组科学家的报告推测：在不久的将来，温室气体量的增加对动植物物种有毁灭性的影响。由于全球变暖，动植物的生存空间也在发生改变，其数量和种类也在不断减少。作者试图通过分析现状唤起人们对环境保护的意识。
17．A 推理判断题。根据第一段“They saw that during the next 50 years about 25% of land animals and plants will disappear from the Earth.More than 1 million plants and animal species will die out by 2050.”可知：在未来的50年里，大约25%的陆地动植物会从地球上消失，超过100万种动植物到2050的时候会灭绝。因此可知，全球变暖带来的是动植物物种的不断减少，这种影响对动植物来说是致命的。故A项正确。
18．D 目的意图题。根据第一段“They wanted to find out if global warming was dangerous for plants and animals.The scientists were surprised by what they found(他们想弄清楚全球变暖对动植物是否有害。科学家们对他们的发现感到惊讶)．”可知，这个研究的目的在于找出全球变暖对动植物的影响。故D项正确。
19．C 标题推测题。根据第一段“They wanted to find out if global warming was dangerous for plants and animals.The scientists were surprised by what they found(他们想弄清楚全球变暖对动植物是否有害。科学家们对他们的发现感到惊讶)．”以及后文可知，本文主要介绍研究全球变暖对动植物的影响及其研究发现。“一个关于全球变暖的可怕发现”最适合作本文标题。故C项正确。
20．C 细节理解题。根据第三段“Their studies showed that species living in mountainous areas had a better chance of survival because they could move uphill to get cooler(他们的研究表明，生活在山区的物种有更好的生存机会，因为它们可以向高处移动，以获得更凉爽的环境)．”可知，研究发现，山区的物种幸存的几率更大，因为它们可以往山上移动来避免热浪的侵袭。故C项正确。

A few weeks ago a group of scientists produced a report about global warming and the natural world.They wanted to find out if global warming was dangerous for plants and animals.The scientists were surprised by what they found.They saw that during the next 50 years about 25% of land animals and plants will disappear from the Earth.More than 1 million plants and animal species will die out by 2050.
The head of the research team, Christ Thomas, who is a professor of conservation biology at Leeds University，said the results of their research were frightening.More than 10% of all plants and animals will disappear from the Earth.It is too late to save many plants and animals because of the greenhouse gases that are already in the atmosphere.But the scientists say if we control greenhouse gases now，we can save many more plants and animals from disappearing.
The scientists studied some areas of the world with very rich biology.These areas were Europe, Australia, Central and South America, and South Africa.Their studies showed that species living in mountainous areas had a better chance of survival because they could move uphill to get cooler.In flat areas, such as deserts, plants and animals would have to move very long distances to get cooler, so they are in great danger of dying out.The scientists found many surprising things.For example, they found that half of the 24 species of butterfly they studied in Australia would soon disappear.
( )17.According to this passage, global warming can be best described as ________ to many plants and animals.
A．deadly B．surprising
C．disappointing D．frightening
( )18.What’s the purpose of the research led by Christ Thomas?
A．To protect animals and plants from global warming.
B．To call on people to control greenhouse gases.
C．To warn us of the dying out of many animals and plants.
D．To study the effect of global warming on animals and plants.
( )19.What can be the best title of this passage?
A．Greenhouse Effect and Global Warming
B．Extinct Animals in the World
C．A Frightening Discovery Concerning Global Warming
D．Disappearance of Butterflies
( )20.Why do species living in mountainous areas had a better chance of survival?
A．They have to move very long distances.
B．The earth is getting warmer.
C．They can move to high attitude to get cooler.
D．More species are disappearing.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇新闻报道。作者通过一组科学家的报告推测：在不久的将来，温室气体量的增加对动植物物种有毁灭性的影响。由于全球变暖，动植物的生存空间也在发生改变，其数量和种类也在不断减少。作者试图通过分析现状唤起人们对环境保护的意识。
17．A 推理判断题。根据第一段“They saw that during the next 50 years about 25% of land animals and plants will disappear from the Earth.More than 1 million plants and animal species will die out by 2050.”可知：在未来的50年里，大约25%的陆地动植物会从地球上消失，超过100万种动植物到2050的时候会灭绝。因此可知，全球变暖带来的是动植物物种的不断减少，这种影响对动植物来说是致命的。故A项正确。
18．D 目的意图题。根据第一段“They wanted to find out if global warming was dangerous for plants and animals.The scientists were surprised by what they found(他们想弄清楚全球变暖对动植物是否有害。科学家们对他们的发现感到惊讶)．”可知，这个研究的目的在于找出全球变暖对动植物的影响。故D项正确。
19．C 标题推测题。根据第一段“They wanted to find out if global warming was dangerous for plants and animals.The scientists were surprised by what they found(他们想弄清楚全球变暖对动植物是否有害。科学家们对他们的发现感到惊讶)．”以及后文可知，本文主要介绍研究全球变暖对动植物的影响及其研究发现。“一个关于全球变暖的可怕发现”最适合作本文标题。故C项正确。
20．C 细节理解题。根据第三段“Their studies showed that species living in mountainous areas had a better chance of survival because they could move uphill to get cooler(他们的研究表明，生活在山区的物种有更好的生存机会，因为它们可以向高处移动，以获得更凉爽的环境)．”可知，研究发现，山区的物种幸存的几率更大，因为它们可以往山上移动来避免热浪的侵袭。故C项正确。

Thank you！
