Monkeys seem to have a way with numbers.
A team of researchers trained three Rhesus monkeys to associate 26 clearly different
symbols consisting of numbers and selective letters with 0-25 drops of water or juice as a
reward.The researchers then tested how the monkeys combined-or added-the symbols
to get the reward.
Here's how Harvard Medical School scientist Margaret Livingstone,who led the
team,described the experiment:In their cages the monkeys were provided with touch
screens.On one part of the screen,a symbol would appear,and on the other side two
symbols inside a circle were shown.For example,the number 7 would flash on one side of
the screen and the other end would have 9 and 8.If the monkeys touched the left side of
the screen they would be rewarded with seven drops of water or juice;if they went for the
circle,they would be rewarded with the sum of the numbers-17 in this example.
After running hundreds of tests,the researchers noted that the monkeys would go for
the higher values more than half the time,indicating that they were performing a
calculation,not just memorizing the value of each combination.
When the team examined the results of the experiment more closely,they noticed that
the monkeys tended to underestimate()a sum compared with a single symbol when the
two were close in value-sometimes choosing,for example,a 13 over the sum of 8 and 6.
The underestimation was systematic:When adding two numbers,the monkeys always paid
attention to the larger of the two,and then added only a fraction()of the smaller
number to it.
"This indicates that there is a certain way quantity is represented in their brains,"Dr.
Livingstone says."But in this experiment what they're doing is paying more attention to
the big number than the little one."
24.What did the researchers do to the monkeys before testing them?
A.They fed them.
B.They named them.
C.They trained them.
D.They measured them.
25.How did the monkeys get their reward in the experiment?

A.They could perform basic addition.B.They could understand simple words.
C.They could memorize numbers easily.D.They could hold their attention for long.
27.In which section of a newspaper may this text appear?

One of the most stressful days of Susan MeFrederick's life was watching her son get
wheeled away for surgery hours after he was born in 2011.
But after the operation,Susan burst into tears for a different reason:across the cut on
their newborn son's back was a sweet winter scene,hand-drawn on his bandages().
"There were rolling hills of snow,a pine tree and a snowman with a hat and broom,"
she recalled."It was extremely touching and comforting to know that somebody had taken
the time to do that for my family.It was a moment I'll never forget."
Susan soon learned the artist was her son's surgeon,Robert Parry,who discovered
another way to use his hands in the mid-1980s during his internship()at a children's
medical center,where he saw one of his colleagues cut out heart and shark shapes to
decovate children's bandages.
"My first reaction was,What is he doing?Hey,that's kind of neat,'"Parry recalled.
"I especially liked the reactions of the parents and the patients when they saw his artwork.
The smiles took everyone's attention from the surgery.Then I decided to follow suit."
Parry quickly graduated from his early hearts and
sharks,and started to surprise families with drawings
that captured young patients'personalities.From
Snoopy to SpiderMan and bears to butterflies,there
isn't much he hasn't drawn.Most kids want
superheroes sports team logos or princesses,while
babies often receive scenes with flowers,trees and sea
creatures.During the last 30 years,Parry estimates he has left examples of his handiwork over the
stitches(伤口缝线)of more than 10,000 children.
"During a time of stress for families,it's nice to be able to help them smile and laugh,"
Parry said."This is something positive what I can do for them,which is what I like most
about it.”
For Parry,the reward is knowing he hopefully made a difference in a child's life,and
except for his drawings on bandages,"they can go on and live their lives and never know I
was in it,"he said.
He's not ready to retire,but he's found a new hobby to keep his hands skillful in the
years to come.
“I've taken up knitting(编织),"Parry said.“Hats,sweaters,gloves--I enjoy it all..But
mostly,I enjoy giving everything away.

28.Susan burst into tears after her baby's operation because she was

B.He was inspired by his colleague.
C.He was required to learn the skill during his internship.
D.He was encouraged by Susan to show his genius for art.
30.Parry's artworks during the last 30 years show that he
A.devoted himself more to art than to medicine
B.knew more about his patients than their parents
C.took into consideration the tastes of individual patients
D.created a large number of works beyond his expectations
31.What does Parry expect to achieve with his artworks?

C.To make a difference in his dull medical career.
D.To lift the spirits of his patients and their parents.

Cities usually have a good reason for being where they are,like a nearby port or river.
People settle in these places because they are easy to get to and naturally suited to
communications and trade.New York City,for example,is near a large harbour at the
mouth of the Hudson River.Over 300 years its population grew gradually from 800 people
to 8 million.But not all cities develop slowly over a long period of time.Boom towns grow
from nothing almost overnight.In 1896,Dawson,Canada,was unmapped wilderness(
)But gold was discovered there in 1897,and two years later,it was one of the largest
cities in the West,with a population of 30,000.
Dawson did not have any of the natural conveniences of cities like London or Paris.
People went there for gold.They travelled over snow-covered mountains and sailed
hundreds of miles up icy rivers.The path to Dawson was covered with thirty feet of wet
snow that could fall without warning.An avalanche (once closed the path,killing 63
people.For many who made it to Dawson,however,the rewards were worth the difficult
trip.Of the first 20,000 people who dug for gold,4,000 got rich.About 100 of these stayed
rich men for the rest of their lives.
But no matter how rich they were,Dawson was never comfortable.Necessities like
food and wood were very expensive.But soon,the gold that Dawson depen-ded on had all
been found.The city was crowded with disappointed people with no interest in settling
down,and when they heard there were new gold discoveries in Alaska,they left Dawson
City as quickly as they had come.Today,people still come and go-to see where the
Canadian gold rush happened.Tourism is now the chief industry of Dawson City-its
present population is 762.
84
32.What attracted the early settlers to New York City?
A.Its business culture.
B.Its small population.
C.Its geographical position.
D.Its favourable climate.
33.What do we know about those who first dug for gold in Dawson?
A.Two-thirds of them stayed there.B.One out of five people got rich.
C.Almost everyone gave up.
D.Half of them died.
34.What was the main reason for many people to leave Dawson?
A.They found the city too crowded.
B.They wanted to try their luck elsewhere.
C.They were unable to stand the winter.
D.They were short of food.
35.What is the text mainly about?
A.The rise and fall of a city.
B.The gold rush in Canada.
C.Journeys into the wilderness.
D.Tourism in Dawson.

Tips to Learn Any Foreign Language
Know your motivation
It might sound obvious.But if you don't have a good reason to learn a language,you
are less likely to stay motivated in the long run.But wanting to impress Chinese-speakers
with your English isn't the best reason.36.No matter what your motivation is,once
you've decided on a language,it's vital to commit.
37
The key to learning as quickly as a child may be simply to take on certain childlike
attitudes:a desire to play in the language and a willingness to make mistakes.It means
being ready to put yourself in potentially embarrassing situations.38 But it's the only
way to develop and improve your foreign language.
Have fun with it
Think of some fun ways to practise your new language:make a radio play with a
friend,draw a comic picture,write a poem or simply practise by listening and copying
songs.39 chances are that you are going to give up eventually!
We have one more language-learning tip before we go.Remember that the best
possible outcome of speaking a language is communicating with others.Being able to have a
simple conversation is a huge reward in itself.Reaching milestones like that early on will
make it easier to stay motivated and keep practising.And don't worry about your current
speaking ability!40,if you begin any interaction with"I have just started to learn this
language and I'd like to practise with you.
—85
A.Act like a kid
B.This can be scary
C.Leave your comfort zone
D.Trying to know English culture is a better one
E.If you can't find a way to have fun with a new language
F.Most people will be patient,encouraging and happy to help
G.You're learning a language to be able to use when you go abroad

To celebrate his girlfriend's birthday,Luke Fortune drove from a small town in
Central Oregon to Portland,where he parked his car in a paid garage overnight.The next
morning,he discovered that the car's window had been smashed,along with his dreams for the
future:His backpack and computer were gone.
"Everything important to me was on that computer,"said Fortune,21,who is
studying to become a paramedic(护理人员).“My classwork,every paper I'd written,.and
all the programs I needed for my paramedic tests.Every letter I was working on for job
applications.I felt sick."
Two days after the theft,another young man was standing outside his apartment,also
in Portland.Masoud Almazrouei,29,is an exchange student from the United Arab
Emirates.He had been approached by a man who said he had a computer for sale.Only
200.Almazrouei,who had been in the United States for only a year,admits now that he
was naive().But he needed a computer,so he bought it,took it home,and turned it
on.Within seconds,he saw files and photographs.
"I wondered who would sell a computer with all of this on it,"he said."I realized it
could be stolen."Almazrouei found what appeared to be the owner's cellphone number and
called it.
"This guy with a thick accent told me he had my computer,"Fortune said."He told
me the story and said it was his fault.I thought it was a scam().I told him if he really
had the computer,he should take it to the police."
Soon after,a police officer called Fortune to say that a man had dropped the computer
off and had said he was sorry.He passed along the man's number.

【参考范文】
Boys and girls,
Recently some blood banks across the country are
reported to be short of blood supplies.People's opin-
ions about donating blood vary from person to person.
Some people think it is not a good thing and they hold
this opinion because it may cause some illnesses.How-
ever,others insist on donating blood,because it could
save somebody's life.
As to me,I am in favor of the latter idea.When
somebody may lose his or her life for lack of blood,
you will save one life if you donate blood in time.
So some activities should be carried out to make
people aware of the importance of donating blood.

shoulder the responsibility.More importantly,
he said,it was his honor to return the property
to the rightful owner."I saw a photo of this man
in his paramedic uniform,"Almazrouei said.
"They help people.He is a good man.I don't
want my money back..”

proud of you.It was a great story,and you did
the right thing..”
