31、ng different species?(物种)abilities to recognize humanlaces(sheep, dogs, cows, horses, and birds have all been tried), the researchers from the University of Oxford decided to pick an animal that does not have an evolved neocortext, the part of the brain that processes sight and sounds, and doesn抰 ha
32、ve a close relationship with humans.

The fish抯 ability to tell human faces apart is a natural skill.D. The fish抯 ability to recognize human faces is related to neocortext.34. What is likely to be done
38、for further research?A. To show more faces in a front view.B. To display more white,female faces.C. To test more fish samples to gather more data.D. To test pigeons? response to varied expressions.35. Where is this text most likely from?A. A diary. B. A biography. C. A mystery D. A magazine.第二节 (共5小
