The average bear, it seems, is getting ever smarter. First, it turned ut that at least ne can use a cmb. Nw it appears that sme can cunt, t.
Jennifer Vnk, f Oakland University, in Michigan, and Michael Beran, frm Gergia State University, set three American black bears the task f distinguishing between numerically larger and smaller grups f dts (點) n a cmputer screen. In return fr a fd reward ne bear, Brutus, wuld tuch the mre heavily dtted pattern with his nse. The thers, Bella and Dusty, wuld tuch the screen with their claws (爪子).
As the researchers reprt in Animal Behavir, the bears did best with patterns where the clured dts did nt mve and where mre f them als tk up a larger clured area. This culd be explained by the bears' distinguishing the different areas f clur rather than truly cunting the dts. Hwever, the three bears managed t pick ut the bigger number f dts even in pairs f patterns where fewer dts tk up a larger area.
Mving patterns, where each dt fllwed its wn path arund the screen, were mre f a challenge. But Brutus, at least, was nt defeated. He seemed t be cunting mbile dts even when the scientists tried t mislead him by mving the ttal clured area f the dts at the same time.
It is nt entirely surprising that bears shuld have a high degree f intelligence. They face a lt f challenges when trying t get fd. They are, hwever, always alne, and s d nt have the cmplex scial systems that cntribute t animal smarts. Perhaps, then, their maths skill develped because they cannt cunt n their friends fr help.

Passage 2.(2021?山東模擬)
Scientists in Italy are investigating the mysterius appearance f pink glacial ice in the Alps, caused by algae(藻類) that accelerate the effects f climate change.
There is debate abut where the algae cme frm, but Biagi Di Maur f Italy's Natinal Research Cuncil said the pink snw bserved n parts f the Presena glacier(冰川) is likely caused by the same plant fund in Greenland.
"The alga is nt dangerus, it is a natural phenmenn that ccurs during the spring and summer perids in the middle latitudes but als at the Ples," said Di Maur, wh had previusly studied the algae at the Mrteratsch glacier in Switzerland.
The plant, knwn as Ancylnema nrdenskieldii, is present in Greenland's s﹣called Dark Zne,where the ice is als melting. Nrmally ice reflects mre than 80% f the sun's radiatin back int the atmsphere,but as algae appear, they darken the ice s that it absrbs the heat and melts mre quickly. Mre algae appear as the ice melts mre rapidly, giving them vital water and air and adding red clrs t the white ice at the Pass Gavia, altitude 2618 metres(8590 feet).
"Everything that darkens the snw causers it t melt because it accelerates the absrptin f radiatin," said Di Maur."We are trying t quantify the effect f ther phenmena besides the human ne n the verheating f the Earth," said Di Maur, nting that the presence f hikers and ski lifts culd als have an impact n the algae.
Turists at the glacier expressed their lament t the impact f climate change. "Overheating f the planet is a prblem, the last thing we needed was algae," said turist Marta Durante. "Unfrtunately we are ding severe damage. We are already at the pint f n return, I think." Elisa Pnni frm Flrence said she felt the Earth was "giving us back everything we have dne t it"."2020 is a special year: terrible things have happened," she said. "In my pinin, atmspheric phenmena are wrsening. Climate change is increasingly evident."
(1)What is special abut the present glaciers in the Alps?
A. It results in mre natural disasters. B. It presents an unusual clur.
C. It becmes mre mysterius than ever. D. It has been cvered with varius plants.
(2)Which f the fllwing can best describe the relatinship between ice and algae?
A. Algae darkens the ice. B. Algae makes the ice melted.
C. They interact with each ther. D. Melted ice prmtes the grwth f algae.

In January the city sld a plt f land n cnditin that the develper build a htpt museum n part f it.但成都正在迎頭趕上.今年1月,該市出售了一塊土地,條件是開發(fā)商要在這塊土地上建一個火鍋博物館."結合本段前兩句"A private museum in Chngqing, pened several years ag, makes the case fr the Chngqing﹣style htpt. It describes hw it develped frm a methd used t make cheap ffcuts f meat taste delicius.重慶一家私人博物館幾年前開館,為重慶式火鍋做了一個案例,它描述了它是如何從一種制作廉價肉塊的方法發(fā)展而來,肉味鮮美."以及最后一段第一 句"But Chengdu's plans fr a museum suggest that Sichuan htpt is nt nly grwing in ppularity, but is als becming symblic.但成都的博物館計劃表明,四川火鍋不僅越來越受歡迎,而且正在成為一種象征."比較內容可以得出,重慶開了私人博物館,來展示了重慶火鍋從便宜的邊角肉片嘗起來美味的發(fā)展過程,證明重慶火鍋的特色;成都賣了一塊地 ,讓開發(fā)商在里面建﹣座火鍋博物館 ,說明四川火鍋不僅越來越受歡迎,而且正變得具有象征意義.此舉動同樣是兩城在爭斗上的一個表現(xiàn).選項A符合題意.故選A.
(3)D. 推理判斷題.理解最后一段內容 " But Chengdu's plans fr a museum suggest that Sichuan htpt is nt nly grwing in ppularity, but is als becming symblic. If it can set the West n fire, fficials may hpe it will becme a delicius new surce f Chinese sft pwer. There will be plenty f glry fr bth Chengdu and Chngqing t take pride in if that happens.但成都的博物館計劃表明,四川火鍋不僅越來越受歡迎,而且正在成為一種象征.如果它能點燃西方,官員們可能希望它成為中國軟實力的一個美味的新來源.如果真的這樣,成都和重慶都會為之感到自豪."可以得出結論,火鍋在國際上的受歡迎程度將會給兩城人民帶來榮耀,這是政府和人民的期望, 選項D符合題意.故選D.
(4)B. 標題歸納題.文章首段提到,兩城就誰做的火鍋最好的爭論引出論題,隨后結合事實:兩城先后建立博物館,相互競爭,最終歸結到一點:火鍋在國際上的受歡迎程度將會給兩城人民帶來榮耀,這是政府和人民的期望.所以,文章的標題應該是:兩城之爭:誰做出了最好吃的四川火鍋.選項B符合題意.故選B.
Passage 8.(2020?河南模擬)
Many animals mve frm ne place t anther at certain times f the year. This annual mvement is called migratin. They migrate t find fd, seek a partner, r in search f warmer weather. One f the mst wnderful migratins in nature is that f the Nrth American mnarch butterfly.
Every autumn, millins f these beautiful insects with fine black and range wings begin a lng and difficult jurney. Smehw they manage t travel arund 4,000 kilmeters suth and find their way t Califrnia r Mexic. Hwever, until recently n ne knew hw they did this.
A team f scientists led by Prfessr Eli Shlizerman at the University f Washingtn has nw fund the answer. They have fund ut that the mnarch is able t tell the time f day. It uses its eyes t measure the psitin f the sun. These tw pieces f infrmatin﹣the time f day and the pint where the sun is in the sky﹣allw the butterfly t determine the way t g. Eventually, it manages t reach the places where it will spend the winter.
The slutin t the mystery f the mnarch's amazing ability cmes at a time when it is in serius truble. Its ppulatin has crashed by as much as 90 per cent in the last few years. Sadly, human activity is the main reasn why the number f mnarch butterflies is falling. In many f the places where the butterfly can be fund, peple are destrying the natural envirnment. They cut dwn trees and use chemicals that kill the plants that mnarch caterpillars eat.
The research n the mnarch's behavir has hwever led t a greater awareness f this creature. Peple have been wrking tgether t recrd its migratin and make sure that there are enugh plants fr it t feed n. If this wrks, there may cme a time when the number f mnarch butterflies increases nce again. The mre we knw abut this lvely creature, the greater the chance it will survive and keep its place in the natural wrld fr a lng time t cme.

A.T search fr fd. B.T lk fr a partner.
C.T breed yung babies. D.T stay away frm cld weather.
(2)What mainly caused the decrease in the number f the mnarch butterflies?
A.Weather changes. B.Human activities.

(3)What can we knw frm the text?
A.All the animals migrate at fixed times f the year.
B.The mnarch has the ability t identify the time f day.
C.The ppulatin f the mnarch is decreasing rapidly every year.
D.N ne knws hw the mnarch butterflies make their way t their destinatins.
(4)What des the last paragraph imply abut the research?
A.It is quite encuraging. B.It is fairly cmplex.

Passage 9.(2020?江蘇三模)
Birds use vcalizatins t attract mates,defend territries,and recgnize fellw members f their species.But while we knw a lt abut hw variatins in vcalizatins play ut between ppulatins f sngbirds,it's far less clear hw this variatin affects birds such as penguins in which calls are inherited(遺傳).A new study frm The Auk:Ornithlgical Advances examines differences in the calls f Little Penguins frm fur clnies in Australia﹣night﹣time birds fr whm vcalizatins are mre imprtant than visual signals﹣and finds that differences in habitat,rather than gegraphic islatin(隔離)r ther factrs,seem t be the key driver f variatin in the sunds these birds use t cmmunicate.
Diane Clmbelli﹣Negrel and Rachel Smale f Australia's Flinders University recrded calls frm fur Little Penguin ppulatins acrss a small area f Suth Australia, ne f which had previusly been shwn t have slight genetic differences frm the ther three,and used playback experiments t test penguins' ability t distinguish between calls frm different clnies.They fund that agnistic calls,which are used in pair displays and aggressive situatins,varied amng the fur ppulatins,and that the calls' characteristics appeared t depend n small﹣scale differences in the habitat where the penguins lived. Hwever,birds did nt discriminate between calls riginating frm different clnies, which suggests that agnistic calls dn't seem t play a rle in islating the tw different genetic grups.
Penguins living in pen habitats prduced lwer﹣frequency calls than thse living in habitats with thicker vegetatin﹣the ppsite f the trend typically bserved in sngbirds. The authrs think that agnistic calls may be subject t different selective pressures because they're used in clse encunters with ther birds rather than t cmmunicate acrss distances,and culd als be influenced by variatin in the nise level f wind and surf.
"I was excited t find that in seabirds,as mst f ur knwledge in this area cmes frm studies n sngbirds," says Clmbelli﹣Negrel."This new research suggests that many factrs influence call variatin in birds,which als depends n the functin f the calls.This study highlights that many questins remain and that studies need t investigate mre than ne factr in cnjunctin with the functin f the calls t fully understand call variatin in seabirds."
"This wrk tells n interesting stry f vcal diversificatin in Little Penguins,and gives insight int hw individual and micr﹣scale variatin effects behavir," accrding t Stny Brk University's Heather Lynch,an expert n penguin calls wh was nt invlved in the study."Nn﹣vcal﹣learning birds are relatively understudied in terms f vcalizatins, and it is great t see penguin vcalizatins being studied in such a way."
(1)What des the new study find?
A.Penguins are brn with their calls. B.Penguins cmmunicate by varius calls.
C.Penguins' calls are influenced by their habitat. D.Penguins' calls can help islate genetic grups.
(2)What are the findings based n?
A.The test f penguins' respnses t recrded calls.
B.The data cllected frm penguins acrss Australia.

A.pen﹣space sngbirds tend t lwer their calls
B.envirnmental nises may affect penguins' calls
C.birds use agnistic calls in distant cmmunicatin
D.sngbirds' agnistic calls vary little between species

Passage 10.(2020?河南二模)
Sea tters (海獺) are pretty small cmpared t ther marine mammals (哺乳動物), which means that, despite their fur cats, they tend t lse heat quickly, and need lts f energy t keep up their bdy temperature
"S they need t eat 25 percent f their bdy weight each day," says Sarah McKay Strbel, a sensry eclgist at UC Santa Cruz. "But in rder t eat that much fd, that means sea tters need t find all that fd." She studied the tter senses, t slve the mystery f hw they're such efficient fd catchers. Visin isn't reliable, she says﹣it's pretty dark and muddy underwater, and crabs and ther smaller animals tend t hide. Hearing is als tugh fr tters, in the nisy underwater envirnment. And sniffing's n gd either. "When they're underwater they're hlding their breath."
What's left is tuch. S Strbel measured the sensitivity f the tters' paws and whiskers (須). She blindflded an tter named Selka, then presented it with plastic plates carved with tiny grves(溝槽). Selka's jb was t select the plate with tw﹣millimeter grves, which she'd been trained t assciate with tasty fd, instead f plates with differently sized grves.
Turns ut, Selka culd tell just a quarter millimeter difference in the grves width with her Paws﹣﹣abve and belw water﹣﹣﹣and half a millimeter difference with her whiskers. "The fact that she was able t perfrm s well while mving extremely quickly I think is really interesting and suggests that sea tters have very quick decisin﹣making abilities, and very quick sensry prcessing abilities, which makes sense when yu think abut the type f lifestyle they lead and hw quickly they need t find fd."
Fr the recrd, humans can feel the difference t, but it takes us 30 times lnger, which might make sense. After all, we live in envirnments where tuch is less imprtant in a hunt than sight and sund.
(1)Why sea tters eat much fd?
A. T swim taster. B. T stay warm.C. T keep their fur thick.D. t satisfy their gd appetite.
(2)What des paragraph 3 mainly talk abut?
A. An intrductin t Selka. B. The use f plastic plates.
C. An experiment n Selka. D. The functin f tters' tuch.
(3)What did Strbel find abut sea tters' senses?
A. Hearing is useless. B. Tuch is the mst effective.
C. They have n visin. D. Their smell wrks very well.
(4)What can we learn frm the text?
A. Sea tters have enugh fd t eat. B. Humans are mre sensitive than sea tters.
C. Sea tters respnd very quickly in hunting. D. Sea tters,whiskers wrk better than paws.

【分析】本文用一個實驗說明了海獺捕獵時觸覺非常靈敏,找食物反應很快.
【解答】(1)B.細節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第一段despite their fur cats, they tend t lse heat quickly, and need lts f energy t keep up their bdy temperature.盡管海獺身上有皮毛,但它們很快就會失去熱量,需要大量的能量來維持體溫,再根據(jù)第二段 "S they need t eat 25 percent f their bdy weight each day," 所以它們每天需要吃掉體重的25%的事物,可知海獺吃很多食物是為了保持溫暖.故選B.
(2)C.段落大意題.根據(jù)第三段S Strbel measured the sensitivity f the tters' paws and whiskers (須). 所以斯特羅貝爾測量了水獺爪子和胡須的靈敏度.可知所以第三段講述了塞爾卡的實驗.故選C.
(3)B.推理判斷題.根據(jù)第四段suggests that sea tters have very quick decisin﹣making abilities, and very quick sensry prcessing abilities, 這表明海獺的決策速度非常快能力,以及非常快速的感官處理能力,可知斯特羅貝爾對海獺的實驗發(fā)現(xiàn)觸摸是最有效的,故選B.
(4)C.推理判斷題.根據(jù)第四段suggests that sea tters have very quick decisin﹣making abilities, and very quick sensry prcessing abilities, which makes sense when yu think abut the type f lifestyle they lead and hw quickly they need t find fd."這表明海獺的決策速度非常快能力,以及非??焖俚母泄偬幚砟芰?,當你考慮到他們的生活方式,以及他們需要多快找到食物時,這些都是有意義的."可知海獺捕獵時反應很快.故選C.
