Scientists use the “mark test” to test whether an animal can recognize itself. A mark is put on an animal, usually in a spot that can only be seen in a mirror. Then the animal is allowed to look in a mirror. If the animal seems to pay attention to the mark, scientists believe the animal has recognized itself. The list of animals who can recognize themselves in a mirror isn’t long. The skill has mainly been found in animals with large brains, like dolphins, chimpanzees and elephants. Until recently, only one kind of bird had passed the test. Scientists at the University of Bonn in Germany recently ran the mark test on roosters. They put a pink triangle (三角形) on the chests of the roosters. But when the roosters looked in a mirror, they didn’t seem to notice the mark. The scientists then needed a different way to test whether the roosters could recognize themselves. When there’s danger—like a hawk (鹰) flying above—roosters make loud calls to warn nearby chickens. But roosters only make the cries if other chickens can hear them. If they’re alone, they remain quiet so the hawk won’t see them. The scientists realized that they could use the shadow (影子) of a hawk to test whether or not the roosters thought they were alone—even when they could see “another” chicken in a mirror. First, the scientists let the roosters spend time getting used to being in a closed space and having a mirror around. Then, they ran several tests by making a hawk shadow appear above a rooster and watching how it reacted. When there was no mirror, the rooster reacted as usual. It called out when it was near another rooster (Picture ▲ ), but remained quiet when it was alone. But when a rooster was in a space where it could see itself in the mirror, it wasn’t fooled into thinking there was another rooster. It remained silent under the hawk shadow. It did this even if there was a rooster hidden behind the mirror. The scientists say the results show that the roosters knew they were seeing themselves in the mirror, and not other roosters. 29．What is the purpose of the “mark test”? A．To compare different animals’ intelligence. B．To measure an animal’s brain size. C．To see if an animal can recognize itself. D．To test a bird’s ability to fly. 30．What does the underlined word “them” refer to? A．Hawks. B．Roosters. C．Chickens. D．Scientists. 31．Which of the following pictures can be put into ▲ ? A． B． C． D． 32．What can we infer from the passage? A．Roosters prefer to make no sound when they face danger alone. B．Roosters are not as smart as dolphins, chimpanzees and elephants. C．The mark test can exactly tell if an animal can recognize itself in the mirror. D．When seeing its image in the mirror, the rooster thinks there’s another rooster. 【答案】29．C 30．B 31．B 32．A 【导语】本文主要介绍了公鸡是否能够通过镜子识别自己。科学家通过“标记测试”发现公鸡在镜子中看到自己时，并没有被欺骗，而是意识到镜中的影像是自己，而不是另一只公鸡，这表明公鸡具有一定的自我识别能力。 29．细节理解题。根据“Scientists use the ‘mark test’ to test whether an animal can recognize itself.”可知，“标记测试”是用来测试动物是否能够识别自己在镜子中的影像的。故选C。 30．词句猜测题。根据“But roosters only make the cries if other chickens can hear them. If they’re alone, they remain quiet so the hawk won’t see them.”可知，公鸡只有在其他鸡能听到的情况下才会发出叫声，如果它们是独自一个，它们会保持安静，这样鹰就看不见它们了，故此处them指代“公鸡”。故选B。 31．推理判断题。根据“When there was no mirror, the rooster reacted as usual. It called out when it was near another rooster”可知，当没有镜子时，公鸡在靠近另一只公鸡时会发出警报声，选项B符合题意。故选B。 32．推理判断题。根据“But roosters only make the cries if other chickens can hear them. If they’re alone, they remain quiet so the hawk won’t see them.”可知，公鸡在独自面对危险时会选择保持安静，以免被猎鹰发现。故选A。 The Changjiang River, also known as the Yangtze River, is one of the longest rivers in the world. It is important to the Chinese people and is called the “mother river”. It is not just a natural wonder — it is also a symbol of the Chinese nation. Nowadays, the Yangtze River National Cultural Park comes into view. How to protect Yangtze River culture and improve cultural confidence is a new task for the places near the Yangtze River. The Yangtze River National Cultural Park, which is also an important “National Park” project, goes across 13 provinces with 841 national-level intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产) projects, 465 historical and cultural cities, towns, and villages, as well as 91 national-level museums. It expresses China’s traditional, revolutionary (革命的), and socialist advanced cultures. With over 2,200 years’ history, Jiujiang plays an important part in the Yangtze River National Cultural Park. To protect Yangtze River culture, Jiujiang creates the “Most Beautiful Yangtze River Bank”. Jiujiang makes it possible that the park not only protects cultural heritage but also further improves the quality of people’s life there. The park turns Jiujiang into a place where visitors can learn more about historical stories and enjoy natural beauty. It also helps local communities by creating jobs in tourism. The Yangtze River National Cultural Park project carries the great meaning for the Chinese nation. The project is based on the rich cultural resources (资源). The Yangtze River National Cultural Park project holds value in many fields such as water resources protection, social development and educational programs for students.

The Roles:Scene 1: A countryside field Scene 2: A man’s apartment in the city Thanks to Kate’s Costume Corner for lending us costumes (戏服). A thin country mouse serves his friend in the country, while his friend says he enjoys better food in the city. His friend dresses like a gentleman. The country mouse looks at himself and decides to visit his friend in the city but something unexpected makes him know what kind of life he really wants. 26．Who visits a friend in the city? A． B． C． D． 27．What is “The Country Mouse and The City Mouse”? A．A report. B．A play. C．A poem. D．A diary. 28．What can we learn from the passage? A．The mice may be in a man’s apartment in Scene 2. B．Frank invites Jeff to stay with him in the city. C．It was performed by Class One third-graders. D．Their costumes were from Kate’s Costume Corner. A new study suggests that roosters (公鸡) can recognize (认出) themselves in a mirror (镜子). Scientists use the “mark test” to test whether an animal can recognize itself. A mark is put on an animal, usually in a spot that can only be seen in a mirror. Then the animal is allowed to look in a mirror. If the animal seems to pay attention to the mark, scientists believe the animal has recognized itself. The list of animals who can recognize themselves in a mirror isn’t long. The skill has mainly been found in animals with large brains, like dolphins, chimpanzees and elephants. Until recently, only one kind of bird had passed the test. Scientists at the University of Bonn in Germany recently ran the mark test on roosters. They put a pink triangle (三角形) on the chests of the roosters. But when the roosters looked in a mirror, they didn’t seem to notice the mark. The scientists then needed a different way to test whether the roosters could recognize themselves. When there’s danger—like a hawk (鹰) flying above—roosters make loud calls to warn nearby chickens. But roosters only make the cries if other chickens can hear them. If they’re alone, they remain quiet so the hawk won’t see them. The scientists realized that they could use the shadow (影子) of a hawk to test whether or not the roosters thought they were alone—even when they could see “another” chicken in a mirror. First, the scientists let the roosters spend time getting used to being in a closed space and having a mirror around. Then, they ran several tests by making a hawk shadow appear above a rooster and watching how it reacted. When there was no mirror, the rooster reacted as usual. It called out when it was near another rooster (Picture ▲ ), but remained quiet when it was alone. But when a rooster was in a space where it could see itself in the mirror, it wasn’t fooled into thinking there was another rooster. It remained silent under the hawk shadow. It did this even if there was a rooster hidden behind the mirror. The scientists say the results show that the roosters knew they were seeing themselves in the mirror, and not other roosters. 29．What is the purpose of the “mark test”? A．To compare different animals’ intelligence. B．To measure an animal’s brain size. C．To see if an animal can recognize itself. D．To test a bird’s ability to fly. 30．What does the underlined word “them” refer to? A．Hawks. B．Roosters. C．Chickens. D．Scientists. 31．Which of the following pictures can be put into ▲ ? A． B． C． D． 32．What can we infer from the passage? A．Roosters prefer to make no sound when they face danger alone. B．Roosters are not as smart as dolphins, chimpanzees and elephants. C．The mark test can exactly tell if an animal can recognize itself in the mirror. D．When seeing its image in the mirror, the rooster thinks there’s another rooster. The Changjiang River, also known as the Yangtze River, is one of the longest rivers in the world. It is important to the Chinese people and is called the “mother river”. It is not just a natural wonder — it is also a symbol of the Chinese nation. Nowadays, the Yangtze River National Cultural Park comes into view. How to protect Yangtze River culture and improve cultural confidence is a new task for the places near the Yangtze River. The Yangtze River National Cultural Park, which is also an important “National Park” project, goes across 13 provinces with 841 national-level intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产) projects, 465 historical and cultural cities, towns, and villages, as well as 91 national-level museums. It expresses China’s traditional, revolutionary (革命的), and socialist advanced cultures. With over 2,200 years’ history, Jiujiang plays an important part in the Yangtze River National Cultural Park. To protect Yangtze River culture, Jiujiang creates the “Most Beautiful Yangtze River Bank”. Jiujiang makes it possible that the park not only protects cultural heritage but also further improves the quality of people’s life there. The park turns Jiujiang into a place where visitors can learn more about historical stories and enjoy natural beauty. It also helps local communities by creating jobs in tourism. The Yangtze River National Cultural Park project carries the great meaning for the Chinese nation. The project is based on the rich cultural resources (资源).
