19、ty to recognize a _1_in number. Human beings are born with this ability._2_, experiments show that many animals are,too. For example, many birds have good number sense. If a nest has four eggs and you remove one,the bird will not _3_. However,if you remove two,the bird _4_leaves. This means that the
20、 bird knows the _5_between two and three.Another interesting experiment showed a birds _6_number sense. A man was trying to take a photo of a crow(乌鸦) that had a nest in a tower,but the crow always left when she saw him coming. The bird did not _7_until the man left the tower. The man had an _8_. He
21、 took another man with him to the tower. One man left and the other stayed,but they did not _9_the bird. The crow stayed away until the second man left,too. The experiment was _10_with three men and then with four men. But the crow did not return to the nest until all the men were _11_.It was not un
22、til five men went into the tower and only four left that they were _12_able to fool the crow.How good is a humans number sense? Its not very good. For example,babies about fourteen months old almost always notice if something is taken away from a _13_group. But when the number goes beyond three or f

26、果你移走一颗蛋的话,这只鸟不会注意到数量的变化。下句中用了know,为近义词。4A要是你移走两颗蛋,鸟通常会离开这个巢。generally“一般来说”;sincerely“真诚地”;casually“随意地”;deliberately “故意地”。5C这意味着鸟知道二和三之间的差别。从情景的叙述中,可得出此结论。6A另一个有趣的实验表明了鸟类惊人的数字感觉。amazing“令人惊异的”。上文已用surprisingly。7D后文 “But the crow did not return to the nest until all the men were _11_.”给出了提示。8C“这个人有
27、了个主意。” 下文的叙述就是这个人的主意的内容。9A但是他们未能欺骗那只乌鸦。fool“愚弄,欺骗”。10B随后用三个人、四个人又进行这个实验。此处用repeat表示重复进行。11B乌鸦等到所有的人离开才回到巢穴。从故事的叙述中可得知答案应选B项。12D直到五个人参与实验,进入塔内并离开四个人后,才最终成功欺骗了这只乌鸦。一次又一次地实验,最后。finally符合语境。13B根据后文 “But when the number goes beyond three or four”可推测,十四个月大的孩子只能注意到东西从很小的一组中被移开。14D当数字超过三个或四个的时候孩子经常会被欺骗。ofte
28、n经常。连词but起提示作用。15C文章提到了人类和动物觉察数字变化的能力。 应用文写作请以“Reading Newspapers Is a Good Habit”为题写一篇报道。内容要点如下:1报纸是重要传媒(media) ,看报能获得国内最新消息2报纸能丰富我们的生活,上面有3对我们学英语的人来说,看类似中国日报这样的英文报纸注意:词数80左右。Reading Newspapers Is a Good Habit_【答案】Reading Newspapers Is a Good HabitNewspapers are important media.
