【正文】 nces in the eating habits of bats and birds.D. Another interesting characteristic of bat flight is the way in which bats landupside down! Unlike birds which touch down on the ground or on tree branches, bats can be observed flying around and then suddenly hanging upside down from an object overhead. One downside to this landing routine is that the bats often land with some force, which probably causes pain. However, not all bats hit their landing spots with the same speed and force。根據(jù)第三段中的“As a cover for the experiment, all participants were told this snack was to be consumed before the game began.”作為實驗的掩護(hù)，所有受試者都得告在游戲開始前就要吃完這些零食。然而，他們還推斷，這種方式可能會導(dǎo)致人們更加了解他人的需求，從而推動合作性的行為?？芍猣amilystyle指的是與別人一起用餐，故選B。 （1）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。B.To prove sharing food increases petition.C.A meal consumed by oneself. The researchers measured cooperation by noting the number of rounds it took to reach an agreement, and found that those who shared food resolved the strike significantly faster（in 8. 7rounds）than those who did not（ rounds）. A similar experiment was conducted with 104participants and Goldfish crackers（餅干）, this time negotiating an airline39。5．犇犇閱讀理解 由此推斷出Philip Davis對這項研究持懷疑態(tài)度，故選B。 （3）考查推理判斷。 （2）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。A report of the cooperation of scientists and actors.【答案】 （1）A（2）B（3）B（4）C 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文，介紹了一項對于演員大腦活動的研究。He advocated it.（4）What is the text mainly about? A.He explained it.He doubted it.He supported it. brain activity differs when they are acting.C.By consulting some experienced researchers.（2）What is the finding of Dr Brown39。s team conduct their research? A. The team said they also found additional reduction in activity in two regions of the prefrontal cortex (前額皮質(zhì)) linked to the sense of self, pared with when the actors were responding as themselves. Brown and colleagues report how 15 actors, mainly theatre students, were trained to take on a Shakespeare role — either Romeo or Juliet — in a theatre workshop. They were then invited into the laboratory, where their brains were scanned in a series of experiments. Dr Steven Brown, from McMaster University in Canada, said, It looks like when you are acting, you are suppressing (壓制) yourself?！惫蔬xB。故選C。 （3）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。 （2）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第一段中的“Australia showed that bees could perform arithmetic operations like addition and subtraction (減法).”澳大利亞證明蜜蜂可以做加法和減法等算術(shù)運算。The Relationship Between Brain Size and Brain Power【答案】 （1）D（2）B（3）C（4）B 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文，RMIT大學(xué)的研究人員發(fā)現(xiàn)了蜜蜂能做基本的數(shù)學(xué)。Some primates, birds and even spiders can add and substract.（4）What can be the best title for the text? A.calls for a lot of maths knowledge（3）What does the finding of the new research suggest? A. numerical cognition ________. A.The relationship between brain size and brain power.B. Many species can understand the difference between quantities and use this to search for food, make decisions and solve problems. But numerical cognition, such as exact number and arithmetic operations, requires a more plex level of processing. “If math doesn39。3．犇犇閱讀理解 在少數(shù)極端情況下，這種緊張情緒接近沖突。根據(jù)第四段中的“But they acknowledged that things were different for graduates today, who leave university with huge debts and fewer job opportunities.”但他們承認(rèn)，如今的畢業(yè)生情況有所不同，他們畢業(yè)時背負(fù)著巨額債務(wù)，工作機(jī)會也更少。根據(jù)第三段中的“The young adults taking part in the study were‘more positive than might have been expected’about moving back home – the shame is reduced as so many of their friends are in the same position, and they acknowledged the benefits of their parents39。 quality of life and wellbeing. ”通過新舊研究對比，以往的研究表明，返鄉(xiāng)的成年子女會導(dǎo)致父母的生活質(zhì)量和幸福感顯著下降。 quality of life and wellbeing.”這一發(fā)現(xiàn)與今年早些時候發(fā)表的一項研究結(jié)果不一致，早些的研究顯示，返鄉(xiāng)的成年子女會導(dǎo)致父母的生活質(zhì)量和幸福感顯著惡化。而這一發(fā)現(xiàn)與今年早些時候發(fā)表的一項研究結(jié)果相矛盾，該研究顯示，返鄉(xiāng)的成年子女會導(dǎo)致父母的生活質(zhì)量和幸福感顯著下降。Both parents and children enjoy a more harmonious relationship.B.The children want to keep in closer touch with their parents.B.They are ashamed of turning to their parents for help.B.ariseB. quality of life became worse than before.D.Boomerang children made their parents happier.B.

But scientists have discovered evidence which suggests the Royal may actually be right and they could be listening to him. Biologists at Tel Aviv University in Israel have found that flowers can act as a plant39。2．犇犇閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的A、B、C和D四個選項中，選出最佳選項。 Boomerang children who return to live with their parents after university can be good for fami
