They are good for dealing with information, too. However, most animals have small brains. That’s because brains need a lot of energy (能量) and large brains take longer to fully develop. This may have stopped many animals from growing larger brains. So how do some animals grow big brains? To find out the answer, scientists did research on birds. They collected information on 1,176 kinds of birds. The information includes where the birds live, what they eat, how long the parents care for their babies and how big their brains are. Scientists found that parental care has a much bigger effect (影响) on brain size than other things. The study shows that some birds like chickens need little feeding or care from their parents and have small brains when they grow up. While some birds, like songbirds and parrots, are usually blind at birth. They are dependent on their parents for weeks or even months, and they have larger brains as adults. This is because parental care provides young animals with enough energy and time to grow big brains. We sometimes think that thinking, problem solving, or social skills drove the evolution of the human brains. Our human brains grow greatly with these abilities. But the research on birds shows differently. Parental care has the largest effect on birds’ brain sizes. Over the last several million years, parental care for our children has grown greatly. This could have made great growth in our brain size. 31 Why is having big brains useful? A. Because big brains save energy. B. Because big brains help to solve problems. C. Because big brains develop musical ability. D. Because big brains improve physical health. 32. What has the biggest effect on the birds’ brain size? A. What they eat. B. Where they live. C. How big their bodies are. D. How long their parental care is. 33. Which birds might be more independent when growing up? A. Chickens. B. Songbirds. C. Parrots. D. Penguins. 34. What does the underlined word “evolution” in the last paragraph mean? A. Preparation. B. Argument. C. Communication. D. Development. 35. What might be the best title for the passage? A. Brain Size and Parenting B. Bird Brains and Parenting C. Brain Size and Thinking Skills D. Human Brains and Social Abilities C 配对阅读。左栏是五位大学师生的兴趣与计划，右栏是大学业余活动介绍，请为每个人选择一个合适的业余活动。 _____36_____ Tom plans to run a small business after university and he wants to make new friends to learn business experience from them. _____37_____ Lucy studies fashion design.

After all, large brains help with thinking skills, problem solving and social abilities. They are good for dealing with information, too. However, most animals have small brains. That’s because brains need a lot of energy (能量) and large brains take longer to fully develop. This may have stopped many animals from growing larger brains. So how do some animals grow big brains? To find out the answer, scientists did research on birds. They collected information on 1,176 kinds of birds. The information includes where the birds live, what they eat, how long the parents care for their babies and how big their brains are. Scientists found that parental care has a much bigger effect (影响) on brain size than other things. The study shows that some birds like chickens need little feeding or care from their parents and have small brains when they grow up. While some birds, like songbirds and parrots, are usually blind at birth. They are dependent on their parents for weeks or even months, and they have larger brains as adults. This is because parental care provides young animals with enough energy and time to grow big brains. We sometimes think that thinking, problem solving, or social skills drove the evolution of the human brains. Our human brains grow greatly with these abilities. But the research on birds shows differently. Parental care has the largest effect on birds’ brain sizes. Over the last several million years, parental care for our children has grown greatly. This could have made great growth in our brain size. 31. Why is having big brains useful? A. Because big brains save energy. B. Because big brains help to solve problems. C. Because big brains develop musical ability. D. Because big brains improve physical health. 32. What has the biggest effect on the birds’ brain size? A. What they eat. B. Where they live. C. How big their bodies are. D. How long their parental care is. 33. Which birds might be more independent when growing up? A. Chickens. B. Songbirds. C. Parrots. D. Penguins. 34. What does the underlined word “evolution” in the last paragraph mean? A. Preparation. B. Argument. C. Communication. D. Development. 35. What might be the best title for the passage? A. Brain Size and Parenting B. Bird Brains and Parenting C. Brain Size and Thinking Skills D. Human Brains and Social Abilities 【答案】31. B 32. D 33. A 34. D 35. A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了拥有更大的大脑是很有用的，但是动物的大脑需要能量，更大的大脑需要更长的时间才能完全发育。 【31题详解】 细节理解题。根据“After all, large brains help with thinking skills, problem solving and social abilities.”可知，拥有更大的大脑有助于解决问题，故选B。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Scientists found that parental care has a much bigger effect (影响) on brain size than other things.”可知，父母照顾它们的时间有多长对鸟类的大脑大小影响最大。故选D。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据“The study shows that some birds like chickens need little feeding or care from their parents and have small brains when they grow up.”可知，鸡在成长过程中可能更独立，故选A。 【34题详解】 词义猜测题。根据“Our human brains grow greatly with these abilities. But the research on birds shows differently.”可知，我们的大脑会随着我们发展和学习新事物而大大增长，由此推断“evolution”的意思是“发展”，故选D。 【35题详解】 标题归纳题。通读全文，尤其根据“Scientists found that parental care has a much bigger effect (影响) on brain size than other things.”可知，本文主要讲述了拥有更大的大脑是有用的，但是大多数动物都有更小的大脑，这是因为大脑需要大量的能量，而动物需要花费更长的时间来发育它们的大脑，比如说鸟类的大脑大小与它们的父母照顾他们的时间有很大关系，因此选项A适合作为文章标题。故选A。 C 配对阅读。左栏是五位大学师生的兴趣与计划，右栏是大学业余活动介绍，请为每个人选择一个合适的业余活动。 _____36_____ Tom plans to run a small business after university and he wants to make new friends to learn business experience from them. _____37_____ Lucy studies fashion design.
