Chang’e-6 Takes Off from the Moon’s Far Side
The ascender of China’s Chang’e-6 probe (航空探测器) lifted off from the lunar surface on Tuesday morning, carrying samples collected from the moon’s far side, 11 unprecedented achievement in human lunar exploration history.
The Chang’e-6 probe, 12 (consist) of an orbiter, a lander, an ascender and a returner — like its predecessor Chang’e-5 — was launched on May 3. Its lander-ascender combination touched down at 13 was designated as the landing area in the South Pole in June 2. The spacecraft finished its intelligent and rapid sampling work, and the samples were put in a container inside the ascender of the probe as planned. “The mission 14 (withstand) the test of high temperature on the far side of the moon,” said the China National Space Administration (CNSA).
It adopted two methods of moon sampling, including using a drill to collect subsurface samples and grabbing samples on the surface 15 a robotic arm. It automatically gathered diverse samples at different sites.
After the sampling was completed, a Chinese flag carried by the lander 16 (unfold) for the first time on the far side of the moon.
Unlike takeoff on Earth, the ascender could not rely on a launch tower system, and the lander acted as a temporary “launching pad” instead. Chang’e-6’s takeoff from the far side of the moor can’t copy the Chang’e-5 ascent from the near side of the moon, 17 it could not receive direct ground control and support. It 18 use its special sensors to achieve autonomous positioning and orientation, with the assistance of Queqiao-2 for communication.
Compared with Chang’e-5, Chang’e-6, 19 has witnessed improvements in the autonomy and reliability of its navigation, tackles the challenges posed by the uncertainties of the moon’s far side during its takeoff and ascent. The control system of Chang’e-6 has also been enhanced to improve its autonomy, making it possible for lunar takeoff and ascent 20 (complete) with reduced reliance on relay satellite and ground support.

Black Myth: Wukong Review — A Fantastically Exciting Action Game
Black Myth: WuKong is a video game obsessed with impressive sights — but inspiring awe requires confidence. Such self-confidence is a rarity in big-budget games, 123 concerns about mainstream acceptability often inspire fear instead. Thanks to its advanced graphics, Black Myth: Wukong looks 124 it belonged to the blockbusters (大片), but this action game is actually the product of a Chinese game developer, Game Science. The game originated from the 16th-century East Asian novel Journey to the West. You play as a stone monkey, SumWukong — or at least a character based on him; Whether it actually is Wukong is left up to interpretation. In the original story, Wukong is said 125 (possess) incredible strength and speed. He can also make copies of 126 , too.
Wukong is not 127 open-world game: there’s no mini map dotted with tasks. Every new area comes with the possibility of getting lost, but the line between anxiety and excitement is thin. Wukong captures the charm of exploration better than games that show off the illusion of vastness, only to reduce their impressive world into a collection of map icons. 128 (minimize) the menu time envelops you more thoroughly in the marvelous landscapes.
Black Myth: Wukong has been enormously successful. Journey to the West is a tale with a proven track record, but in the late decades no other adaptations of the novel 129 (sell) 10 million copies in the span of just a few days. For some westerners, it seems to have come as a surprise that a game like this could come from a country 130 (know) for mobile games.
It is as if the weight of an entire country’s cultural export has been placed on a developer 131 practically nobody would even have been able to name prior to this game’s release, and Game Science is clearly unused to the scrutiny (审视) it has received. But to look at Black Myth: Wukong purely through the lens of market sizes and tastes 132 (be) a harm that hides the most critical fact of all: it’s a fantastic game.

Information Society
Once upon a time societies were organized around religion, farming, trade or industry. In many parts of the world today this is still true, but something else is becoming more important -the exchange of information and the technology that we use to do this. Twenty-four-hour news, e-commerce, international call centres, mobile phones, positioning systems…all these 133 (make) the world smaller and faster.
The growth in telecommunications is now giving more and more people access to the science that will help their country to develop or to the medical knowledge that can fight disease. The world is becoming more and more like a village, 134 people only dreamed of a generation ago.
But how can everybody in the world share the recent technological advances? Millions of people cannot read these words 135 they don’t have access to a computer. They don’t understand English either, the language that around half of the information on the Internet is 136 (write) in. They don’t even have a telephone. They are more worried about how far they will have to walk today to get clean water or if they can feed themselves and their families. For most people on this planet, information is not a priority.
The contrast between countries that have information technology and 137 that don’t is called the ‘digital divide’. Scandinavia and South East Asia have a high number of people who use information communication technologies (ICT) . Central Africa and the Pacific have relatively very few.
The United Nations is trying to make the information society 138 reality for more of the developing world. It wants to see rich countries 139 (transfer) new technology and knowledge to poorer nations. This will improve medical care and education, science and agriculture, business opportunities and employment. At the same time, they say, local communities, languages and cultures will become much 140 (strong).

The internet and its cultural impact are most often viewed through the lens of the “tech bro”. Biographies, and memoirs about these big-tech bosses have shaped readers’ understanding of 151 the online world changes the offline one. But these books rarely mention the principal figures who have shaped the experience of being online: social-media influencers.
Influencers—the (usually female) people behind the most popular accounts on Instagram, TikTok and YouTube—have large followings, often in the hundreds of thousands or millions. People like Jackie Aina, Matilda Djerf and Molly-Mae Hague earn a living from a combination of sponsored posts, commissions 152 (make) through associate links and by creating their own brands, from fake tan to eyeshadows.
Though they shape digital culture, too often influencers 153 (dismiss) as fame-hungry celebrities, who post about the details of their lives and mindlessly promote branded products for eye-watering sums. But a new crop of books takes the influencer industry 154 (seriously) by exploring the way social media’s most popular users are reshaping the global economy and changing what the average person views online.
Taylor Lorenz, 155 technology writer for the Washington Post, is a leading voice on social-media trends and internet culture. Her book, “Extremely Online”, argues that influencers hold huge power: “Tech founders may control the source code, 156 it is users who shape the product.” Charting the history of the influencer from the 1990s to today, Ms. Lorenz argues influencers rose by making fame and luxury less “sealed off”. Like reality-TV stars, early influencers created a new, niche sort of celebrity, popular enough 157 (draw) attention but still unrecognizable to most.
Ms. Lorenz makes the case that, despite its bad rap, influencing has “given more people the chance to benefit directly from their labor than at any other time in history”, 158 (entertain) readers with stories about “mommy bloggers” turning the pain of parenthood into six-figure businesses and teens becoming multi-millionaires through short comedy skits.
Some experts estimate as much as 90% of online content could be AI-generated by 2026. 159 the number of believable posts and photos produced by AI soars, influencers will face significantly more competition for internet users’ attention. No influencer, 160 skilled they have proved to be at using the internet to gain popularity and profits in the past, is guaranteed to retain any kind of influence in the next technological transformation.
【答案】
151.how 152.made 153.are dismissed 154.more seriously 155.a 156.but 157.to draw 158.entertaining 159.As 160.no matter how
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。主要探讨了社交媒体影响者(即网红)在互联网文化中的重要性和影响。

152.考查非谓语动词。句意:像Jackie Aina、Matilda Djerf和Molly-Mae Hague这样的人通过赞助帖子、通过关联链接获得的佣金以及创建自己的品牌(从晒黑产品到眼影)来谋生。分析句子结构可知,本句已有谓语动词earn,所以make用非谓语形式,和逻辑主语commissions之间是被动关系,用过去分词表被动。故填made。
153.考查动词时态和语态。句意:尽管网红塑造了数字文化,但他们往往被视为渴望名利的名人,他们在网上晒自己的生活细节,盲目地推销品牌产品,赚取令人瞠目结舌的收入。分析句子结构可知,dismiss作本句谓语,和主语influencers之间是被动关系,用被动语态,描述的是客观事实,用一般现在时。故填are dismissed。
154.考查副词。句意:不过,有一批新书更认真地看待网红行业,探讨了社交媒体上最受欢迎的用户如何重塑全球经济,以及如何改变普通人的网络观点。空处修饰空前的动词,用副词修饰,根据句意,此处表达“更认真地”之意,用比较级。故填more seriously。
155.考查冠词。句意:泰勒·洛伦兹是《华盛顿邮报》的科技作家,是社交媒体趋势和互联网文化方面的领军人物。writer意为“作家”,为可数名词,句中用的单数,前应用不定冠词修饰,technology是辅音音素开头,用a修饰。故填a。
156.考查连词。句意:她的书《极度在线》认为,影响者拥有巨大的权力:“科技创始人可能控制着源代码,但塑造产品的是用户。”根据前文“Tech founders may control the source code”以及后文“it is users who shape the product.”可知,两句是转折关系,用but连接。故填but。
157.考查非谓语动词。句意:像真人秀明星一样,早期的网红创造了一种新的、小众的名人,他们足够受欢迎,可以吸引注意力,但大多数人仍然认不出来。此处是固定搭配:enough to do sth.意为“足以做某事”。故填to draw。
158.考查非谓语动词。句意:洛伦兹认为,尽管名声不好,但影响力“让更多的人有机会从自己的劳动中直接受益,这是历史上任何时候都没有的”,她用一些故事来娱乐读者,比如“妈咪博主”把为人父母的痛苦变成了六位数的生意,以及青少年通过喜剧小品成为千万富翁。分析句子结构可知,本句已有谓语动词makes,所以entertain用非谓语动词,和逻辑主语Ms. Lorenz之间是主动关系,用现在分词形式。故填entertaining。
159.考查时间状语从句。句意:随着人工智能制作的可信帖子和照片数量激增,网红们将面临更大的竞争,以吸引网民的注意力。分析句子结构可知,空处引导状语从句,根据句意,表达“随着”之意,应用as引导的时间状语从句,位于句首,首字母应大写。故填As。
160.考查状语从句。句意:没有任何网红,无论他们在过去如何熟练地利用互联网获得人气和利润,都不能保证在下一次技术变革中保持任何影响力。分析句子结构可知,空处引导状语从句,根据句意,表达“无论如何”之意,应用no matter how引导让步状语从句。故填no matter how。

‘Permacrisis’ — the 2022 Word of the Year
Over the last few years, it’s seemed like the “new normal” keeps getting weirder and darker as historical events pile up. This month the Collins Dictionary acknowledged our apparent entry into ever darker timelines by naming “permacrisis” its 2022 Word of the Year.
Collins defines the word as a(n) “ 232 (extend) period of instability and insecurity, especially one 233 (result) from a series of catastrophic events.”
You can pick from an existential mixture of catastrophic event 234 (justify) the use of the term, from the COVID pandemic to Russia’s war on Ukraine to extreme weather worsened by climate change.
“Permacrisis is a term that perfectly embodies the dizzying sense of moving from one unprecedented event to 235 , as we wonder sadly what new horrors might be around the corner,” David Shariatmadari said in a “permacrisis” blog post for Collins on Nov. 1. “Much more of this 236 we might have forgotten what stability and security ever felt like.”
The word isn’t brand new this year. A quick search 237 find references at least as far back as the mid-1990s, which makes sense as it’s a handy suitcase for any particularly stubborn situation.
“Permacrisis signals not only a loss of faith in progress, but also a new realism 238 relation to what people can cope with and achieve,” Neil Turnbull, a Nottingham Trent University philosophy professor, writes on the academia-focused site The Conversation. “Our crises 239 (become) so complex and deep-seated that they can go beyond our capacity to understand them. Any decision to tackle them risks only 240 (make) things worse.”
It turns out that some other words and phrases 241 were chosen for this year’s honor are also tied to the mounting sense of permacrisis, including “quiet quitting”, the oft-mispronounced Ukrainian capital Kyiv and “vibe shift.” Here’s hoping the latter becomes more prominent real soon.
【答案】
232.extended 233.resulting 234.to justify 235.another 236.and 237.can 238.in 239.have become 240.making 241.which/that

One evening, to our surprise, he refused 23 (eat) the ice-cream, so I placed it in a staff room freezer. A little while later, my son decided he wanted it, so I fetched it for him. As I passed another ward, a woman asked, “Are there more ice-cream?” 24 I had explained the situation, she apologized. She then said that she had cancer and could eat very little, other than the occasional ice-cream.
The next morning, I decided to buy two ice-creams. On the way to Dad’s room, I stopped in at the sick woman’s room and offered her the ice-cream I’d bought for her. She was totally surprised at what I 25 (think) for her, and accepted the gift with tears in her eyes. I spoke with her for a few minutes, 26 (explain) what was happening in my family and listened to her similar story of pain and suffering. 27 was clear that she didn’t have many visitors, and the ice-cream and our short chat meant a great deal to her. I repeated the gesture a few days later. The woman, 28 face was pale, thanked me again. I thought she 29 be very lonely.

It is quite reasonable to blame traffic jams, the cost of gas and the great speed of modern life, but manners on the road are becoming horrible. Everybody knows that 53 (nice) men would become fierce tigers behind the wheel. You might tolerate the odd road-hog, the rude and inconsiderate driver, but nowadays the well-mannered driver is the exception 54 the rule.
Road politeness is not only good manners, but good sense too. It takes the most cool-headed drivers great patience 55 (resist) the temptation to take revenge when 56 (subject) to uncivilized behavior. On the other hand, a little politeness goes a long way to 57 (relieve) the tightness of motoring. A friendly nod or a wave of thanks in response to 58 act of politeness helps to create an atmosphere of good will and calm so necessary in modern traffic conditions.
However, misplaced politeness 59 also be dangerous. Typical examples are the driver who brakes violently to allow a car to emerge from a side street to following traffic, 60 a few seconds later the road would be clear anyway; or the man who waves a child across a zebra crossing into the path of oncoming vehicles 61 may be unable to stop in time.
A veteran driver told me it would help if drivers learnt to filter correctly into traffic stream one at a time without causing total blockages that give rise to bad temper.

On occasion, I teach 3 course called History Matters to a group of higher education managers. My goals for the class include a full discussion of historical themes and ideas. 4 I want students to thoroughly study the materials and exchange their ideas with each other in the classroom, I have a rule — no laptop, iPads, phones, etc. When students 5 (tell) my rule in advance of the class, some of them were not happy.
Most students assume that my reasons for this rule include unpleasant experiences in the past with students misusing technology. There’s a bit of truth to that. Some students assume that I am anti-technology. There’s no truth in that at all. The real reason why I ask students 6 (leave) technology at the door is that I think there are very few places in which we 7 have deep conversations and truly engage complex ideas. Interruptions by technology often break concentration and allow for too much dependence on outside information for ideas. I want students to dig deep within 8 for inspiration and ideas.
I 9 (teach) my history class in this way for many years and the evaluations reflect student satisfaction with the environment that I create. Students realize that with deep conversation and challenge, they learn at a level that helps them keep the course materials 10 the classroom.

How can we help students do better at school? Researchers at the University of Nevada designed a simple experiment to see 83 the lecturer’s attractiveness has any impact on how much of the lecture students remember or not.
Here’s how the experiment was carried out. The researchers asked 131 college students 84 (listen) to a recording of a 20-minute introductory physics lecture. The students were randomly assigned to a male or female lecturer, each of 85 read exactly the same text. While the lecture was playing, a computer screen displayed a photo of the lecturer--who was highly attractive in some cases and not as eye-catching in others.Taking notes 86 (not allow) in the course.
After the lecture, participants 87 (get) a 25-question quiz on the lecture. For those who had an attractive instructor, the average score was 18.27; for those 88 an ordinary instructor, the average was 16.68. The researchers said that gap was not huge, but it was statistically significant. Participants were asked to evaluate the lecturers after 89 (test) on the material and they generally agreed about the attractiveness of the lecturers.
So do the new findings mean that schools 90 hire better-looking teachers? R.Shane Westfal, the lead author of the new paper, notes that 91 the performance differences in his study amounted to (总计;等于) about half of a better grade, teacher training, experience and dedication would probably make a bigger difference. Interestingly, earlier studies have found that good-looking people are 92 (likely) to get involved in almost any context--suggesting that schools may have hired the more attractive teachers.
【答案】
83.whether 84.to listen 85.whom 86.was not allowed 87.got 88.with 89.being tested 90.should 91.Although/Though/While 92.more likely

Passage 3
(24-25学年高二上·上海师范大学附属中学宝山分校、闵行分校·期末)

How good are you at maths? Some people love the challenge of algebra or enjoy working out number puzzles such as Sudoko. Maths is all around us, from working out how to split the bill after a meal, to 141 (calculate) your household bills. But many fear the moment 142 they have to deal with numbers and figures and feel a real sense of worry and confusion. It can seem daunting, but this ‘maths anxiety’ is perfectly normal, and you’re definitely not alone. And anyway, our worries and fears don’t necessarily reflect our ability.
The problem really starts in childhood, at school. Research has found that maths teachers who are nervous about teaching the subject can pass on their anxiety to the pupils, and girls may be 143 (likely) to be affected. The Programme for International Student Assessment found around 31%of 15 and 16-year-olds across 34 countries said they got very nervous doing maths problems, 33% said they got tense doing maths homework, and nearly 60% said maths classes would be difficult. Shulamit Kahn, from Boston University’s Questrom School of Business, told the BBC she believes giving students, particularly girls, good role models “is critical, especially 144 a young age”. She thinks the key is 145 (get) people, especially women, who love teaching maths to younger children.
Writing for BBC Future, David Robson says “It’s not clear 146 maths arouses so much fear compared to geography. But the fact that there’s a right or wrong answer — there’s no room for bluffing — 147 make you more worried about underperforming.” And 148 we assume we’re not a ‘maths person’, we avoid solving things that we probably could do.
Psychologists 149 (try) to work out why mental arithmetic can bring us out in a sweat.

How Quality Sleep Protects Your Brain
Having trouble thinking creatively? Not able to focus on tasks that need to get done? Poor sleep could potentially be 73 (blame). It turns out lack of sleep can do a number on your brain-and not just in the short term.
Research suggests not getting enough quality sleep can have serious permanent negative consequences. On the other hand, good sleep habits can have lasting benefits. Below 74 (be) three research-backed brain benefits of sleep.
Stimulates creativity
Thinking in new, imaginative ways requires a well-rested brain. On the contrary, a brain 75 (suffer) from a lack of sleep is unable to think creatively.
A study 76 (report) in the journal Nature bears this out. For the study, participants learned a task 77 they had to recognize a hidden pattern in the questions they were asked. Their initial training 78 (follow) by eight hours of nighttime sleep or wakefulness or daytime wakefulness.
More than twice as many participants gained insight into the hidden rule after sleep as those who did after wakefulness, regardless of the time of day. The researchers concluded that “sleep, by restructuring new memory representations, facilitates obtaining of expressive knowledge and insightful behavior.”
Reduces depression
Often influenced by chemical imbalances in the brain, depression and sleep problems go hand-in-hand. People with depression may 79 have a hard time sleeping or else get too much sleep.
While it’s not clear 80 lack of sleep causes depression, it can worsen it. Studies show people who sleep fewer than six or more than nine hours a night are more likely to be depressed than those 81 between.
Solidifies memories
One of sleep’s main functions is to help improve memory. It does this by enabling the brain to strengthen some neural pathways (神经通路) 82 reducing those it doesn’t need. For example, your brain doesn’t need to keep every sensory impression collected during your waking hours.

Sleep Is Your Superpower
Did you know that you have the ability to reduce your chances of having a car accident, improve your ability to fight off illnesses, and decrease your risk factors for heart disease and Alzheimer’s?
Yes. Everyone has that superpower, in fact, we use it every day — sleep. Sleep is one of the most powerful activities 103 our bodies undergo. Often times, sleep is thought of as a passive process in which we merely lie in bed and wake up the next morning, with 104 happening in between. This could not be 105 (far) from the truth.
Sleep is vital for learning and for the formation of new memories, growth, and development. The American Society of Sleep Medicine advises adults 106 (get) at least 7 hours of sleep each night. Matthew Walker, 107 professor of Sleep at the University of California, argues that sleep is the foundation for good health.

In a 2011 study, it 109 (report) that lack of sleep increases a person’s risk of getting or dying from heart disease by 45%. When we sleep, the heart relaxes and starts to pump blood at a lower pressure. However, when you do not get enough sleep, your blood pressure goes up and your heart does not relax. This is partly 110 people who do not get enough sleep are at higher risk of high blood pressure or hypertension.
In a study carried out in the US, 111 they deliberately infected test subjects with another type of Coronavirus (rhinovirus — responsible for the common cold), it was observed that subjects who got at least 7 or more hours of sleep at night were 4 times less likely 112 (infect), while those who got less than 7 hours were reported to have a lower number of T-killer cells responsible for eliminating foreign invaders from the body. The immune system is particularly boosted during slow-wave sleep stage.

Humans are all philomaths to an extent — our brain 254 (hardwire) to be curious. We want to learn and understand, partly to make sense of the world but also 255 something called neoteny. This is a term that refers to the juvenile characteristics of some animals, including humans, being retained into adulthood. One of these traits is neuroplasticity, which helps our brains stay flexible — this gives us the ability 256 (learn) throughout our lives. Many creatures which are genetically close to us, 257 primates, can’t do this and only learn during their adolescence.
But for every person who loves learning, there are plenty 258 can’t stand it. Lots of people remember their school days as being boring or even pointless. Why is this? Educational anthropologists have suggested that if a concept or idea is too complex or dull, it becomes harder to link old and new ideas together. If that’s the case, we lose motivation and absorb 259 (little) information. This negative experience of education at school 260 lead to people avoiding learning opportunities in later life.
So, don’t let a bad educational experience prevent you learning 261 new as an adult. Evolution has made us lifelong learners, so take advantage of your biology and discover your inner philomath. Who knows what you could achieve?

Babies are less afraid when they can scent their mothers
Babies feel relieved by the presence of their mother’s scent, according to research that looked at how their brains respond to fear. The idea behind it is 31 a familiar scent can comfort babies. “Some doctors tell new mums to put a(n) 32 (wear) T-shirt in the bed with their baby,” says Sarah Jessen at the University of Lubeck in Germany.
33 (investigate) whether this works, Jessen presented photos of happy and fearful facial expressions to seventy six 7-month-old babies — the age by which they 34 (develop) their fear response. Each of the babies viewed the photos while they 35 (introduce) to either the familiar scent of their mother or a stranger’s scent. Jessen also measured electrical signals in the babies’ brains 36 (use) an EEG cap (脑电帽).
Before the experiment, all the babies’ mothers were given a cotton T-shirt, 37 they slept in for three nights in a row. The mothers 38 use their normal shampoo and soap but were asked not to use any new products.
39 (see) photographs of fearful facial expressions usually generates a fear response in babies, which includes a specific pattern of electrical activity in their brains. Jessen found that those who could scent their mother didn’t have this pattern, 40 those who sensed a stranger’s scent did.
These results suggest that a baby’s experience of scent can influence fear processing in their brain. Jessen says she wants to find out whether babies have a similar response to their father’s scent or to the scent of other people who they spend time 41 .
She says research like this helps us understand how babies perceive the world and 42 influences their development. This understanding could potentially lead to the development of new strategies for helping babies.

Mirror, Mirror, on the Wall:
Can Animals Recognize Their Reflection at All?
Daniel Povinelli was in high school when he first read about an experiment published in 1970. It left a deep impression 202 him as it showed that chimpanzees, rather than monkeys, can recognize themselves in mirrors. All it took was a simple mirror 203 (reveal) that our close chimpanzee relatives are self-aware.
This famous mirror self-recognition experiment was conducted in the 1960s by scientist Gordon Gallup, Jr. No such tests had been done before 204 people had long observed animals interacting with mirrors. In this experiment, the chimps originally tried to attack the image in the mirror. But after a couple of days, they began using the mirror to examine parts of their bodies such as their teeth. He then anesthetized(使麻醉) them and put red dye on their face. The chimps later woke up and reacted to the unexpected mirror image as if they 205 understand that the marks were on their own faces. In Gallup’s view, passing this test proved that the chimps had self-awareness, which was an evolutionary leap 206 (make) only by humans and their close relatives and led to empathy and higher-level thinking.
Though convinced at first, Povinelli now holds a different view on what animals may be doing after spending years 207 (commit) himself to studying mirrors and higher-order consciousness for years. He holds that animals may have a 208 (complicated) sense of their own body’s movement than we imagine. With that kind of physical self-concept, a chimp could use a mirror as a tool to examine its body. But that wouldn’t indicate anything about the richness of the animal’s inner life. Recent research also shows monkeys can actually learn to perform this skill, if they 209 (give) the proper training.
Povinelli says people 210 live with cats and dogs tend to project their own understanding of the world onto their pets. Since they can’t directly ask 211 their pets are experiencing, their projection is very likely to be wrong.
【答案】
202.on 203.to reveal 204.even if 205.could 206.made 207.committing 208.more complicated 209.are given 210.who 211.what

Chang’e-6 Takes Off from the Moon’s Far Side
The ascender of China’s Chang’e-6 probe (航空探测器) lifted off from the lunar surface on Tuesday morning, carrying samples collected from the moon’s far side, 1 unprecedented achievement in human lunar exploration history.
The Chang’e-6 probe, 2 (consist) of an orbiter, a lander, an ascender and a returner — like its predecessor Chang’e-5 — was launched on May 3. Its lander-ascender combination touched down at 3 was designated as the landing area in the South Pole in June 2. The spacecraft finished its intelligent and rapid sampling work, and the samples were put in a container inside the ascender of the probe as planned. “The mission 4 (withstand) the test of high temperature on the far side of the moon,” said the China National Space Administration (CNSA).
It adopted two methods of moon sampling, including using a drill to collect subsurface samples and grabbing samples on the surface 5 a robotic arm. It automatically gathered diverse samples at different sites.
After the sampling was completed, a Chinese flag carried by the lander 6 (unfold) for the first time on the far side of the moon.
Unlike takeoff on Earth, the ascender could not rely on a launch tower system, and the lander acted as a temporary “launching pad” instead. Chang’e-6’s takeoff from the far side of the moor can’t copy the Chang’e-5 ascent from the near side of the moon, 7 it could not receive direct ground control and support. It 8 use its special sensors to achieve autonomous positioning and orientation, with the assistance of Queqiao-2 for communication.
Compared with Chang’e-5, Chang’e-6, 9 has witnessed improvements in the autonomy and reliability of its navigation, tackles the challenges posed by the uncertainties of the moon’s far side during its takeoff and ascent. The control system of Chang’e-6 has also been enhanced to improve its autonomy, making it possible for lunar takeoff and ascent 10 (complete) with reduced reliance on relay satellite and ground support.

A.I. -Generated Picture Won Art Prize
Jason Allen’s A.I. -generated work, “Theatre D’opera Spatial,” took first place in the digital category at the Colorado State Fair, making it one of the first A.I. -generated pieces to win such a prize, and setting off a fierce backlash (反对) from artists who accused him of, essentially, cheating.
11 (reach) by phone on Wednesday, Mr. Allen defended his work He said that he had made clear that his work — which 12 (submit) under the name “Jason M. Allen via Midjourney” — was created using A.I., and that he hadn’t deceived (欺骗) 13 about its origins.
“I’m not going to apologize 14 it,” he said. “I won, and I didn’t break any rules.”
Mr. Allen, 39, began experimenting with A.I.-generated art this year. He runs a studio which makes tabletop games, and he was curious how the new breed of A.I. image generators would compare with the human artists. This summer, he got invited 15 (test) Midjourney, a new AI-powered tool that can turn text into custom images. Mr. Allen became obsessed, creating hundreds of images and marveling at how realistic they were. 16 he typed, Midjourney seemed capable of making it. Eventually, Mr. Allen got the idea to submit one of his Midjourney creations to the Colorado State Fair.”
“The fair was coming up,” he said, “and I thought: How wonderful would it be to demonstrate to people how great this art is?”
Several weeks later, while walking the fairground in Pueblo, Mr. Allen saw a blue ribbon 17 (hang) next to his piece. He had won the division, along with a $300 prize.
“I couldn’t believe it,” he said. “I felt like: this is exactly 18 I set out to accomplish.”
After his win, Mr. Allen posted a photo of his prize work to the Internet, 19 it sparked a furious backlash. Mr. Allen, the blue-ribbon winner, said he empathized with artists who were scared that A.I. tools would put them out of work. But he said their anger 20 be directed not at individuals who use DALL-E 2 or Midjourney to make art but at companies that choose to replace human artists with A.I. tools.

Black Myth: Wukong Review — A Fantastically Exciting Action Game
Black Myth: WuKong is a video game obsessed with impressive sights — but inspiring awe requires confidence. Such self-confidence is a rarity in big-budget games, 21 concerns about mainstream acceptability often inspire fear instead. Thanks to its advanced graphics, Black Myth: Wukong looks 22 it belonged to the blockbusters (大片), but this action game is actually the product of a Chinese game developer, Game Science. The game originated from the 16th-century East Asian novel Journey to the West. You play as a stone monkey, SumWukong — or at least a character based on him; Whether it actually is Wukong is left up to interpretation. In the original story, Wukong is said 23 (possess) incredible strength and speed. He can also make copies of 24 , too.
Wukong is not 25 open-world game: there’s no mini map dotted with tasks. Every new area comes with the possibility of getting lost, but the line between anxiety and excitement is thin. Wukong captures the charm of exploration better than games that show off the illusion of vastness, only to reduce their impressive world into a collection of map icons. 26 (minimize) the menu time envelops you more thoroughly in the marvelous landscapes.
Black Myth: Wukong has been enormously successful. Journey to the West is a tale with a proven track record, but in the late decades no other adaptations of the novel 27 (sell) 10 million copies in the span of just a few days. For some westerners, it seems to have come as a surprise that a game like this could come from a country 28 (know) for mobile games.
It is as if the weight of an entire country’s cultural export has been placed on a developer 29 practically nobody would even have been able to name prior to this game’s release, and Game Science is clearly unused to the scrutiny (审视) it has received. But to look at Black Myth: Wukong purely through the lens of market sizes and tastes 30 (be) a harm that hides the most critical fact of all: it’s a fantastic game.

Information Society
Once upon a time societies were organized around religion, farming, trade or industry. In many parts of the world today this is still true, but something else is becoming more important -the exchange of information and the technology that we use to do this. Twenty-four-hour news, e-commerce, international call centres, mobile phones, positioning systems…all these 31 (make) the world smaller and faster.
The growth in telecommunications is now giving more and more people access to the science that will help their country to develop or to the medical knowledge that can fight disease. The world is becoming more and more like a village, 32 people only dreamed of a generation ago.
But how can everybody in the world share the recent technological advances? Millions of people cannot read these words 33 they don’t have access to a computer. They don’t understand English either, the language that around half of the information on the Internet is 34 (write) in. They don’t even have a telephone. They are more worried about how far they will have to walk today to get clean water or if they can feed themselves and their families. For most people on this planet, information is not a priority.
The contrast between countries that have information technology and 35 that don’t is called the ‘digital divide’. Scandinavia and South East Asia have a high number of people who use information communication technologies (ICT) . Central Africa and the Pacific have relatively very few.
The United Nations is trying to make the information society 36 reality for more of the developing world. It wants to see rich countries 37 (transfer) new technology and knowledge to poorer nations.

The internet and its cultural impact are most often viewed through the lens of the “tech bro”. Biographies, and memoirs about these big-tech bosses have shaped readers’ understanding of 39 the online world changes the offline one. But these books rarely mention the principal figures who have shaped the experience of being online: social-media influencers.
Influencers—the (usually female) people behind the most popular accounts on Instagram, TikTok and YouTube—have large followings, often in the hundreds of thousands or millions. People like Jackie Aina, Matilda Djerf and Molly-Mae Hague earn a living from a combination of sponsored posts, commissions 40 (make) through associate links and by creating their own brands, from fake tan to eyeshadows.
Though they shape digital culture, too often influencers 41 (dismiss) as fame-hungry celebrities, who post about the details of their lives and mindlessly promote branded products for eye-watering sums. But a new crop of books takes the influencer industry 42 (seriously) by exploring the way social media’s most popular users are reshaping the global economy and changing what the average person views online.
Taylor Lorenz, 43 technology writer for the Washington Post, is a leading voice on social-media trends and internet culture. Her book, “Extremely Online”, argues that influencers hold huge power: “Tech founders may control the source code, 44 it is users who shape the product.” Charting the history of the influencer from the 1990s to today, Ms. Lorenz argues influencers rose by making fame and luxury less “sealed off”. Like reality-TV stars, early influencers created a new, niche sort of celebrity, popular enough 45 (draw) attention but still unrecognizable to most.
Ms. Lorenz makes the case that, despite its bad rap, influencing has “given more people the chance to benefit directly from their labor than at any other time in history”, 46 (entertain) readers with stories about “mommy bloggers” turning the pain of parenthood into six-figure businesses and teens becoming multi-millionaires through short comedy skits.
Some experts estimate as much as 90% of online content could be AI-generated by 2026. 47 the number of believable posts and photos produced by AI soars, influencers will face significantly more competition for internet users’ attention. No influencer, 48 skilled they have proved to be at using the internet to gain popularity and profits in the past, is guaranteed to retain any kind of influence in the next technological transformation.

‘Permacrisis’ — the 2022 Word of the Year
Over the last few years, it’s seemed like the “new normal” keeps getting weirder and darker as historical events pile up. This month the Collins Dictionary acknowledged our apparent entry into ever darker timelines by naming “permacrisis” its 2022 Word of the Year.
Collins defines the word as a(n) “ 49 (extend) period of instability and insecurity, especially one 50 (result) from a series of catastrophic events.”
You can pick from an existential mixture of catastrophic event 51 (justify) the use of the term, from the COVID pandemic to Russia’s war on Ukraine to extreme weather worsened by climate change.
“Permacrisis is a term that perfectly embodies the dizzying sense of moving from one unprecedented event to 52 , as we wonder sadly what new horrors might be around the corner,” David Shariatmadari said in a “permacrisis” blog post for Collins on Nov. 1. “Much more of this 53 we might have forgotten what stability and security ever felt like.”
The word isn’t brand new this year. A quick search 54 find references at least as far back as the mid-1990s, which makes sense as it’s a handy suitcase for any particularly stubborn situation.
“Permacrisis signals not only a loss of faith in progress, but also a new realism 55 relation to what people can cope with and achieve,” Neil Turnbull, a Nottingham Trent University philosophy professor, writes on the academia-focused site The Conversation. “Our crises 56 (become) so complex and deep-seated that they can go beyond our capacity to understand them. Any decision to tackle them risks only 57 (make) things worse.”
It turns out that some other words and phrases 58 were chosen for this year’s honor are also tied to the mounting sense of permacrisis, including “quiet quitting”, the oft-mispronounced Ukrainian capital Kyiv and “vibe shift.” Here’s hoping the latter becomes more prominent real soon.

About 18 months ago, my father was in hospital recovering from a lung operation. My mother had recently passed away, and my father had taken the loss of his partner of 55 years and had lost interest 59 life.
60 (try) to get him to eat each day was quite a chore as he didn’t want anything. The one thing, however, that he would ask us to bring him was ice-cream. One evening, to our surprise, he refused 61 (eat) the ice-cream, so I placed it in a staff room freezer. A little while later, my son decided he wanted it, so I fetched it for him. As I passed another ward, a woman asked, “Are there more ice-cream?” 62 I had explained the situation, she apologized. She then said that she had cancer and could eat very little, other than the occasional ice-cream.
The next morning, I decided to buy two ice-creams. On the way to Dad’s room, I stopped in at the sick woman’s room and offered her the ice-cream I’d bought for her. She was totally surprised at what I 63 (think) for her, and accepted the gift with tears in her eyes. I spoke with her for a few minutes, 64 (explain) what was happening in my family and listened to her similar story of pain and suffering. 65 was clear that she didn’t have many visitors, and the ice-cream and our short chat meant a great deal to her. I repeated the gesture a few days later. The woman, 66 face was pale, thanked me again. I thought she 67 be very lonely.
This time, I, 68 (reward) with a big hug, realized that an act of kindness can be more rewarding when you give it, rather than receive it.

It is quite reasonable to blame traffic jams, the cost of gas and the great speed of modern life, but manners on the road are becoming horrible. Everybody knows that 69 (nice) men would become fierce tigers behind the wheel. You might tolerate the odd road-hog, the rude and inconsiderate driver, but nowadays the well-mannered driver is the exception 70 the rule.
Road politeness is not only good manners, but good sense too. It takes the most cool-headed drivers great patience 71 (resist) the temptation to take revenge when 72 (subject) to uncivilized behavior. On the other hand, a little politeness goes a long way to 73 (relieve) the tightness of motoring. A friendly nod or a wave of thanks in response to 74 act of politeness helps to create an atmosphere of good will and calm so necessary in modern traffic conditions.
However, misplaced politeness 75 also be dangerous. Typical examples are the driver who brakes violently to allow a car to emerge from a side street to following traffic, 76 a few seconds later the road would be clear anyway; or the man who waves a child across a zebra crossing into the path of oncoming vehicles 77 may be unable to stop in time.
A veteran driver told me it would help if drivers learnt to filter correctly into traffic stream one at a time without causing total blockages that give rise to bad temper. Years ago, experts warned us that explosion in car ownership 78 (demand) more give-and-take from all road users. It is high time for all of us to take this message to heart.

City streets are littered with all kinds of refuse. On just about every street and sidewalk, one can find old newspaper, crushed cans, food wrappers, and discarded cigarettes, not to mention blobs (斑点) of old chewing gum 79 (stick) on walls, street poles, and on the ground. Of all these, gum is one of the hardest things to clean up.
In its attempt 80 (clean) discarded gum off the streets and sidewalks, the authorities in London have tried everything from tools that shoot high-pressure water and steam to various kinds of chemicals 81 dissolve the gum. But nothing seems to work. The streets 82 (dot) with unattractive blobs of the stuff. Or at least they were unattractive 83 Ben Wilson came along.
Ben Wilson is an artist on a mission. He wants to make good use of 84 others have thrown away and no one else wants: old chewing gum.

After finishing a work, Mr. Wilson takes a picture of 86 for his archive.
87 (paint) all the gum on the streets of London could be a never-ending task for Ben Wilson.

But he does not seem worried. As he told a reporter in one interview, “I’m just going to keep painting and see 88 the enthusiasm takes me.”

Tech-Free Classroom: Fostering Deep Learning and Interaction
Like many other people, I love my smart phone, which keeps me connected with 89 (large) world. I also love my laptop, because it holds all of my writing and thoughts. However, I know there are times 90 I need to move away from these devices and truly communicate with others.
On occasion, I teach 91 course called History Matters to a group of higher education managers. My goals for the class include a full discussion of historical themes and ideas. 92 I want students to thoroughly study the materials and exchange their ideas with each other in the classroom, I have a rule — no laptop, iPads, phones, etc. When students 93 (tell) my rule in advance of the class, some of them were not happy.
Most students assume that my reasons for this rule include unpleasant experiences in the past with students misusing technology. There’s a bit of truth to that. Some students assume that I am anti-technology. There’s no truth in that at all. The real reason why I ask students 94 (leave) technology at the door is that I think there are very few places in which we 95 have deep conversations and truly engage complex ideas. Interruptions by technology often break concentration and allow for too much dependence on outside information for ideas. I want students to dig deep within 96 for inspiration and ideas.
I 97 (teach) my history class in this way for many years and the evaluations reflect student satisfaction with the environment that I create. Students realize that with deep conversation and challenge, they learn at a level that helps them keep the course materials 98 the classroom.

How can we help students do better at school? Researchers at the University of Nevada designed a simple experiment to see 99 the lecturer’s attractiveness has any impact on how much of the lecture students remember or not.
Here’s how the experiment was carried out. The researchers asked 131 college students 100 (listen) to a recording of a 20-minute introductory physics lecture. The students were randomly assigned to a male or female lecturer, each of 101 read exactly the same text. While the lecture was playing, a computer screen displayed a photo of the lecturer--who was highly attractive in some cases and not as eye-catching in others.Taking notes 102 (not allow) in the course.
After the lecture, participants 103 (get) a 25-question quiz on the lecture. For those who had an attractive instructor, the average score was 18.27; for those 104 an ordinary instructor, the average was 16.68. The researchers said that gap was not huge, but it was statistically significant. Participants were asked to evaluate the lecturers after 105 (test) on the material and they generally agreed about the attractiveness of the lecturers.
So do the new findings mean that schools 90 hire better-looking teachers? R.Shane Westfal, the lead author of the new paper, notes that 106 the performance differences in his study amounted to (总计;等于) about half of a better grade, teacher training, experience and dedication would probably make a bigger difference. Interestingly, earlier studies have found that good-looking people are 107 (likely) to get involved in almost any context--suggesting that schools may have hired the more attractive teachers.

How good are you at maths? Some people love the challenge of algebra or enjoy working out number puzzles such as Sudoko. Maths is all around us, from working out how to split the bill after a meal, to 108 (calculate) your household bills. But many fear the moment 109 they have to deal with numbers and figures and feel a real sense of worry and confusion. It can seem daunting, but this ‘maths anxiety’ is perfectly normal, and you’re definitely not alone. And anyway, our worries and fears don’t necessarily reflect our ability.
The problem really starts in childhood, at school. Research has found that maths teachers who are nervous about teaching the subject can pass on their anxiety to the pupils, and girls may be 110 (likely) to be affected. The Programme for International Student Assessment found around 31%of 15 and 16-year-olds across 34 countries said they got very nervous doing maths problems, 33% said they got tense doing maths homework, and nearly 60% said maths classes would be difficult. Shulamit Kahn, from Boston University’s Questrom School of Business, told the BBC she believes giving students, particularly girls, good role models “is critical, especially 111 a young age”. She thinks the key is 112 (get) people, especially women, who love teaching maths to younger children.
Writing for BBC Future, David Robson says “It’s not clear 113 maths arouses so much fear compared to geography. But the fact that there’s a right or wrong answer — there’s no room for bluffing — 114 make you more worried about underperforming.” And 115 we assume we’re not a ‘maths person’, we avoid solving things that we probably could do.
Psychologists 116 (try) to work out why mental arithmetic can bring us out in a sweat. That seed of fear may come from many sources, but some suggest that expressing your fears can loosen 117 control on you, and encourage children to see a maths test as a challenge, not a threat. Ideally, we need to think positively about maths and give it a second chance.

How Quality Sleep Protects Your Brain
Having trouble thinking creatively? Not able to focus on tasks that need to get done? Poor sleep could potentially be 128 (blame). It turns out lack of sleep can do a number on your brain-and not just in the short term.
Research suggests not getting enough quality sleep can have serious permanent negative consequences. On the other hand, good sleep habits can have lasting benefits. Below 129 (be) three research-backed brain benefits of sleep.
Stimulates creativity
Thinking in new, imaginative ways requires a well-rested brain. On the contrary, a brain 130 (suffer) from a lack of sleep is unable to think creatively.
A study 131 (report) in the journal Nature bears this out. For the study, participants learned a task 132 they had to recognize a hidden pattern in the questions they were asked. Their initial training 133 (follow) by eight hours of nighttime sleep or wakefulness or daytime wakefulness.
More than twice as many participants gained insight into the hidden rule after sleep as those who did after wakefulness, regardless of the time of day. The researchers concluded that “sleep, by restructuring new memory representations, facilitates obtaining of expressive knowledge and insightful behavior.”
Reduces depression
Often influenced by chemical imbalances in the brain, depression and sleep problems go hand-in-hand. People with depression may 134 have a hard time sleeping or else get too much sleep.
While it’s not clear 135 lack of sleep causes depression, it can worsen it. Studies show people who sleep fewer than six or more than nine hours a night are more likely to be depressed than those 136 between.
Solidifies memories
One of sleep’s main functions is to help improve memory. It does this by enabling the brain to strengthen some neural pathways (神经通路) 137 reducing those it doesn’t need. For example, your brain doesn’t need to keep every sensory impression collected during your waking hours.

Sleep Is Your Superpower
Did you know that you have the ability to reduce your chances of having a car accident, improve your ability to fight off illnesses, and decrease your risk factors for heart disease and Alzheimer’s?
Yes. Everyone has that superpower, in fact, we use it every day — sleep. Sleep is one of the most powerful activities 138 our bodies undergo. Often times, sleep is thought of as a passive process in which we merely lie in bed and wake up the next morning, with 139 happening in between. This could not be 140 (far) from the truth.
Sleep is vital for learning and for the formation of new memories, growth, and development. The American Society of Sleep Medicine advises adults 141 (get) at least 7 hours of sleep each night. Matthew Walker, 142 professor of Sleep at the University of California, argues that sleep is the foundation for good health.
A lack of sleep puts you at risk of cardiovascular problems, 143 heart attacks, strokes, arrhythmias and heart failure. In a 2011 study, it 144 (report) that lack of sleep increases a person’s risk of getting or dying from heart disease by 45%. When we sleep, the heart relaxes and starts to pump blood at a lower pressure. However, when you do not get enough sleep, your blood pressure goes up and your heart does not relax. This is partly 145 people who do not get enough sleep are at higher risk of high blood pressure or hypertension.
In a study carried out in the US, 146 they deliberately infected test subjects with another type of Coronavirus (rhinovirus — responsible for the common cold), it was observed that subjects who got at least 7 or more hours of sleep at night were 4 times less likely 147 (infect), while those who got less than 7 hours were reported to have a lower number of T-killer cells responsible for eliminating foreign invaders from the body. The immune system is particularly boosted during slow-wave sleep stage.

A skywell, or “tian jing” (天井) in Mandarin, is a typical feature of a traditional home in southern and eastern China. Different from a northern Chinese courtyard, or “yuan zi” (院子), a skywell is smaller and less 158 (expose) to the outdoor environment. They are commonly seen in homes 159 (date) back to Ming Dynasty, which 160 (design) to house different generations of relatives, according to a 2010 paper published by the Journal of Nanchang University in China. Skywells emerged as a solution for cooling buildings in an era well 161 air-conditioning existed.
When wind blows above a skywell house, it can enter the indoor space through the opening. Because outdoor air is often 162 (cool), the incoming breeze travels down the walls to the lower stories and creates airflows by 163 (replace) warmer indoor air, which rises and leaves through the opening.
Although skywell buildings have existed in China for hundreds of years, in recent times they seem 164 (forget) by people who prefer modern facilities.

Are you the kind of person who hated school? Or are you more like Michael Nicholson, who can’t stop learning? He currently has 30 degrees including 22 master’s and a doctorate! 169 you’re also passionate about studying, you might be a philomath — a person who loves to learn and study. The word comes 170 Greek with ‘phil’ meaning ‘a lover of’ and ‘math’ meaning ‘learning’.
Humans are all philomaths to an extent — our brain 171 (hardwire) to be curious. We want to learn and understand, partly to make sense of the world but also 172 something called neoteny. This is a term that refers to the juvenile characteristics of some animals, including humans, being retained into adulthood. One of these traits is neuroplasticity, which helps our brains stay flexible — this gives us the ability 173 (learn) throughout our lives. Many creatures which are genetically close to us, 174 primates, can’t do this and only learn during their adolescence.
But for every person who loves learning, there are plenty 175 can’t stand it. Lots of people remember their school days as being boring or even pointless. Why is this? Educational anthropologists have suggested that if a concept or idea is too complex or dull, it becomes harder to link old and new ideas together. If that’s the case, we lose motivation and absorb 176 (little) information. This negative experience of education at school 177 lead to people avoiding learning opportunities in later life.
So, don’t let a bad educational experience prevent you learning 178 new as an adult. Evolution has made us lifelong learners, so take advantage of your biology and discover your inner philomath. Who knows what you could achieve?

Babies are less afraid when they can scent their mothers
Babies feel relieved by the presence of their mother’s scent, according to research that looked at how their brains respond to fear. The idea behind it is 189 a familiar scent can comfort babies. “Some doctors tell new mums to put a(n) 190 (wear) T-shirt in the bed with their baby,” says Sarah Jessen at the University of Lubeck in Germany.
191 (investigate) whether this works, Jessen presented photos of happy and fearful facial expressions to seventy six 7-month-old babies — the age by which they 192 (develop) their fear response. Each of the babies viewed the photos while they 193 (introduce) to either the familiar scent of their mother or a stranger’s scent. Jessen also measured electrical signals in the babies’ brains 194 (use) an EEG cap (脑电帽).
Before the experiment, all the babies’ mothers were given a cotton T-shirt, 195 they slept in for three nights in a row. The mothers 196 use their normal shampoo and soap but were asked not to use any new products.
197 (see) photographs of fearful facial expressions usually generates a fear response in babies, which includes a specific pattern of electrical activity in their brains. Jessen found that those who could scent their mother didn’t have this pattern, 198 those who sensed a stranger’s scent did.
These results suggest that a baby’s experience of scent can influence fear processing in their brain. Jessen says she wants to find out whether babies have a similar response to their father’s scent or to the scent of other people who they spend time 199 .
She says research like this helps us understand how babies perceive the world and 200 influences their development. This understanding could potentially lead to the development of new strategies for helping babies.

Mirror, Mirror, on the Wall:
Can Animals Recognize Their Reflection at All?
Daniel Povinelli was in high school when he first read about an experiment published in 1970. It left a deep impression 201 him as it showed that chimpanzees, rather than monkeys, can recognize themselves in mirrors. All it took was a simple mirror 202 (reveal) that our close chimpanzee relatives are self-aware.
This famous mirror self-recognition experiment was conducted in the 1960s by scientist Gordon Gallup, Jr. No such tests had been done before 203 people had long observed animals interacting with mirrors. In this experiment, the chimps originally tried to attack the image in the mirror. But after a couple of days, they began using the mirror to examine parts of their bodies such as their teeth. He then anesthetized(使麻醉) them and put red dye on their face. The chimps later woke up and reacted to the unexpected mirror image as if they 204 understand that the marks were on their own faces. In Gallup’s view, passing this test proved that the chimps had self-awareness, which was an evolutionary leap 205 (make) only by humans and their close relatives and led to empathy and higher-level thinking.
Though convinced at first, Povinelli now holds a different view on what animals may be doing after spending years 206 (commit) himself to studying mirrors and higher-order consciousness for years. He holds that animals may have a 207 (complicated) sense of their own body’s movement than we imagine. With that kind of physical self-concept, a chimp could use a mirror as a tool to examine its body. But that wouldn’t indicate anything about the richness of the animal’s inner life. Recent research also shows monkeys can actually learn to perform this skill, if they 208 (give) the proper training.
Povinelli says people 209 live with cats and dogs tend to project their own understanding of the world onto their pets. Since they can’t directly ask 210 their pets are experiencing, their projection is very likely to be wrong.
