外刊阅读拓展 Unit 1　This is me！ 一、 阅读理解。 聪明的鸽子 It can be difficult to tell how smart animals are-they can’t answer questions. But scientists can give them tests to see what they can do. Pigeons（鸽子） have lots of natural skills. They can read a landscape. They can find their way home from places they’ve never been to. They can understand human faces， and follow hundreds of pigeon friends. 一 二 But can they count？ Many animals can tell more from less， and keep following 3 or 4 objects（物体）. Pigeons can learn to peck（啄） at groups of objects in counting order （the group with one first， then the group with two， etc.）， no matter what the objects are. This shows that they understand the idea of numbers. Pigeons can also learn to peck at a button exactly 8， or 16， or 24 times to get a treat. A pigeon can even remember its place if it gets troubled. 一 二 Like all birds， pigeons have very sharp eyes. They can see many more colours than humans. They can see a tasty sesame seed（芝麻粒） on the grassy ground. Pigeons are also good at finding patterns and solving shape puzzles （谜）. In games to match shapes， they are faster than humans. In fact， some scientists are studying pigeons’ brains to help teach robots and computers how to see. 一 二 （　C　）1. What does the underlined word “landscape” mean？ A.

But in some parts of the world， monkeys live in cities right alongside people. They play near the roads or climb up the trees along the streets. 2. But sometimes， it isn’t happy at all. We may feel bored with them. B　 E　 一 二 In New Delhi， India， thousands of small monkeys live in the city. They take food away from street sellers and break into people’s houses and leave a mess（混乱）. 3. Climbing monkeys can also cut power lines （输电线）， knocking out electricity（电） and the Internet.

I raised him after finding him in the forest. He wasn’t healthy. I took him in. I  　　　　four times every day， and he grew up fast. Soon he was running around and playing with other goats. Sometimes he tried to eat my books and my clothes， and every day he got more playful. One day I had to make a painting for Art homework， so I painted a picture of Finn， wanting to show my class my pet goat. I left the drawing in the barn（谷仓）， but I later found it with small bite marks（咬痕） in the paper. I tried to tell him that he shouldn’t do that， but he just blinked（眨 眼） in surprise. Just then， I had a good idea. I put Finn’s feet into my blue paint， and then held a carrot across from him so that he would have to walk on the paper to get to me. While he ate the carrot， I looked down at the paper. It was decorated（点缀） with blue， and I could see two footprints（脚印） like flowers on the paper！ I then did that with colours red， yellow， and green. When I showed my class my painting at school， they were all surprised at my artwork. After getting home from school， I made lots of footprints. I handed a page full of footprints to all the people in my class. The little prints must have interested them.  　A　 And the next day some of them brought more prints from home.  　B　 There were cow prints， horse prints， pig prints， chicken prints， and much more.  　C Finn’s wonderful art led other kids to make artworks.  　D .　 （素材来源： Cricket） 　 1. 创新考法·缺词填空 Please fill in the blank in the first paragraph. ⁠ 2.
