They can recognize (认出) themselves in a mirror and can even tell when their face is dirty. A recent study done by Nottingham Trent University in England shows that horses are even smarter. They are clever enough to plan ahead (提前), especially when they can get rewards (奖赏). Researchers created a game for twenty horses. In the beginning, they gave the horses a reward for touching a piece of card with their nose. Next, they started using a “stop” light and only rewarded the horses if they touched the card when the light was off. At first, the horses touched the card anyway, even if they had already understood the rules. Then, the researchers introduced a penalty (惩罚) for touching the card when the “stop” light was on—not allowing them to play the game or get rewards for 10 seconds. After this, the horses changed their action quickly and started touching the card at the right time. Louise Evans, one of the researchers, said, “Our study shows that horses are clever enough to think about the future and work out how to achieve their goals. Instead of understanding the rules, they choose not to follow them until they find out that they can benefit (对……有益) them.” 9. What does the study from Nottingham Trent University show about horses? A. They don’t like dirty mirrors. B. They can plan ahead to get rewards. C. They can recognize their owners at any time. 10.

They refused to play the game. B. They stopped listening to orders from the researchers. C. They learned from the past experience and acted differently. 12. What can we learn from Louise Evan’s words? A. Horses like to follow rules if they find them useful. B. Horses can hardly understand rules. C. Horses always follow rules without thinking. 【答案】9.

They are clever enough to plan ahead (提前), especially when they can get rewards (奖赏).”可知，诺丁汉特伦特大学的研究表明马足够聪明能提前计划，尤其是为了获得奖赏时。故选B。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据“In the beginning, they gave the horses a reward for touching a piece of card with their nose.”可知，研究人员让马用鼻子去触碰卡片。故选B。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据“After this, the horses changed their action quickly and started touching the card at the right time.”可知，当研究人员给马惩罚后，马很快改变了行为，开始在正确的时间触碰卡片，也就是它们从过去的经历中学习并采取了不同的行动。故选C。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Instead of understanding the rules, they choose not to follow them until they find out that they can benefit (对……有益) them.”可知，从Louise Evans的话中我们可以了解到马不是先理解规则，而是发现规则对它们有益时才会选择遵循。故选A。 D Oliver walked towards the strange town.

The Chinese video game Black Myth: Wukong made the classic story Journey to the West popular around the world in 2024. In fact, people around the world have loved the story of the monkey Sun Wukong (Monkey King) for a long time. ②Arthur Waley, a British sinologist (汉学家) brought the story to many English people in the 1940s. Later, Japan showed Sun Wukong to the world through a TV show Saiyuki in the 1970s and 80s. And many more works followed. ③But what makes this story so popular around the world? People everywhere can understand Sun Wukong, who breaks the rules of Heaven and tries to get free from the great Buddha’s control (如来佛祖的掌控). As the writer Li Tianfei told China Daily, the experience of Sun Wukong and his friends is more than a Chinese classical story. “In my heart, Journey to the West is about growing up and being free,” Li said. ④Sun Wukong’s journey is a lot like the stories of heroes in Western cultures, such as Spiderman from modern Western stories. These stories show heroes who might make mistakes but become better over time, just like today’s superheroes. What’s more, before Superheroes appeared, Sun Wukong knew that beings (生物) with power (力量) should help others. ⑤Sun Wukong’s story never gets old because everyone can understand it. His story shows us about being brave and doing the right things—things all people understand and love to see. This is why people all over the world like to create new stories about Sun Wukong. Now, through games, books and TV, young people still love the Monkey King. After all, everyone loves a hero who isn’t afraid to fight for what’s right! 41.

Which section (章节) of a magazine might this table be from? A. Geography. B. Environment. C. Travel. B Do you often listen to music? Actually, music can provide us with many good things. Let’s learn about them. Music is a good way to bring people closer. On the one hand, when people go to a concert, they could meet many like-minded (志趣相投的) people. They have common topics to discuss with each other. On the other hand, listeners could communicate with performers and creators (创作者) from heart to heart. They can share happiness or sadness together. Music is good for our brain (大脑) development. Studies have shown that learning to play a musical instrument (乐器) makes our brain get better at thinking, remembering things, and solving problems. Learning music also helps us to be more creative and show our ideas. Different types of music can tell us different stories of history. For example, pop music got popular in the 1950s. It showed the young challenged the traditional music and built a freer music environment. In the 1960s, music began to change towards a softer folk (民间的) style. It showed peace and love. The electronic (电子的) music became hot in the 1980s. It showed the young went after the future. Music is helpful to learn a language. It will make language learning more interesting. You can choose an English song you like, and listen to it again and again so that you can learn to sing it. That will help you with your spoken English. In short, listening to music is like traveling. You will meet interesting people and hear great stories. 5. Why does music bring people closer? A. Because people can play musical instruments together. B. Because people can have the common topics to talk about. C. Because people can go to the concert together. 6.

C Horses are known to be smart animals. They can recognize (认出) themselves in a mirror and can even tell when their face is dirty. A recent study done by Nottingham Trent University in England shows that horses are even smarter. They are clever enough to plan ahead (提前), especially when they can get rewards (奖赏). Researchers created a game for twenty horses. In the beginning, they gave the horses a reward for touching a piece of card with their nose. Next, they started using a “stop” light and only rewarded the horses if they touched the card when the light was off. At first, the horses touched the card anyway, even if they had already understood the rules. Then, the researchers introduced a penalty (惩罚) for touching the card when the “stop” light was on—not allowing them to play the game or get rewards for 10 seconds. After this, the horses changed their action quickly and started touching the card at the right time. Louise Evans, one of the researchers, said, “Our study shows that horses are clever enough to think about the future and work out how to achieve their goals. Instead of understanding the rules, they choose not to follow them until they find out that they can benefit (对……有益) them.” 9. What does the study from Nottingham Trent University show about horses? A. They don’t like dirty mirrors. B. They can plan ahead to get rewards. C. They can recognize their owners at any time. 10. In the game, which part of the body did the researchers ask the horses to touch the card with? A. ① B. ② C. ③ 11. What did the horses do when the researchers gave them a penalty? A. They refused to play the game. B. They stopped listening to orders from the researchers. C. They learned from the past experience and acted differently. 12. What can we learn from Louise Evan’s words? A. Horses like to follow rules if they find them useful. B. Horses can hardly understand rules. C. Horses always follow rules without thinking.

The Chinese video game Black Myth: Wukong made the classic story Journey to the West popular around the world in 2024. In fact, people around the world have loved the story of the monkey Sun Wukong (Monkey King) for a long time. ②Arthur Waley, a British sinologist (汉学家) brought the story to many English people in the 1940s. Later, Japan showed Sun Wukong to the world through a TV show Saiyuki in the 1970s and 80s. And many more works followed. ③But what makes this story so popular around the world? People everywhere can understand Sun Wukong, who breaks the rules of Heaven and tries to get free from the great Buddha’s control (如来佛祖的掌控). As the writer Li Tianfei told China Daily, the experience of Sun Wukong and his friends is more than a Chinese classical story. “In my heart, Journey to the West is about growing up and being free,” Li said. ④Sun Wukong’s journey is a lot like the stories of heroes in Western cultures, such as Spiderman from modern Western stories. These stories show heroes who might make mistakes but become better over time, just like today’s superheroes. What’s more, before Superheroes appeared, Sun Wukong knew that beings (生物) with power (力量) should help others. ⑤Sun Wukong’s story never gets old because everyone can understand it. His story shows us about being brave and doing the right things—things all people understand and love to see. This is why people all over the world like to create new stories about Sun Wukong. Now, through games, books and TV, young people still love the Monkey King. After all, everyone loves a hero who isn’t afraid to fight for what’s right! 41 When did the video game Black Myth: Wukong get popular? _____________________________________________________ 42. Who helped many English people learn about Journey to the West in the 1940s? _____________________________________________________ 43.
