21、 By four months of age, the cognitive performance of ravens in experimental tasks testing their social intelligence and understanding of the physical world parallels that of adult great apes according to a new study.
Previous studies have demonstrated impressive cognitive abilities in ravens. These birds are capable of considering the visual perspective of others, planning for the future, and insightful problem-solving. Ravens have even been called “feathered apes”. But can they really compare with, primates when it comes to higher cognition?
To put this question to the teal, Pika and colleagues adapted a battery of experimental tests designed for primates to meet the needs or ravens. They include both physical and social cognitive skills. Physical cognitive skills include special memory, understanding relative numbers and addition, and causal reasoning, while social cognitive skills include social learning, communication, and theory of mind.
Pika and colleagues conducted their tests with eight hand-raised ravens. The researchers found that, at four months old, ravens already possessed a full-blown set of cognitive skills and did not significantly change over the time period investigated.
Comparing the performance of the ravens with chimpanzees, Pika and colleagues found that, with the exception of special memory, the ravens' performance equalled that of the great apes. The findings strengthen the idea that ravens, like great apes, have evolved general, flexible cognitive skills, rather than being highly specialized in a few ones only.
However, the researchers caution that the performance of these eight ravens may not be representative of the species as a whole. The birds in this study were tested by two highly familiar people who had hand-raised them. Such socialization factors could affect how the birds perform in cognitive tests designed and administered by humans.
【1】Ravens have been called “feathered apes” for their________.
A．vision
B．speed
C．strength
D．intelligence
【2】What do we know about the tests?
A．Ravens' development lops out at four months.
B．Primates couldn't perform as well in the tests.
C．Pika laid emphasis on physical cognitive skills.
D．Ravens develop comprehensive cognitive skills.
【3】What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A．Limitations of the study.
B．Conclusion of the study.
C．Significance of the study.
D．Expectation of the study.
【4】Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A．The Raven: A Birdbrain Nevermore
B．The Raven: A Mystery to Be Solved
C．The Raven: A Superstar in Experiment
D．The Raven: A Representative of the Species
22、 "IF ALIENS are so likely， why have we never seen any？" That is the Fermi Paradox（悻论） ﹣ named after Enrico Fermi， a physicist who posed it in 1950．
Fermi's argument ran as follows． The laws of nature supported the appearance of intelligent life on Earth． Those laws are the same throughout the universe． The universe contains zillions of stars and planets． So， even if life is unlikely to arise on any particular astronomical body， the sheer abundance of creation suggests the night sky should be full of alien civilizations． Fermi wondered why aliens had never visited the earth． Today， the paradox is more usually cast in light of the inability of radio﹣telescope searches to detect the equivalent（相等的） of the radio waves that leak from Earth into the universe， and have done for the past century．
Thinking up answers to this apparent contradiction has become something of a scientific parlour（客厅）game． Perhaps life is really very unlikely． Perhaps the priests are right： human beings were put on Earth by some creator God for His own unknown purposes， and the rest of the universe is merely background scenery． Perhaps there are plenty of aliens， but they have decided that discretion is a safer bet than gathering together． Or perhaps galactic（银河的） society avoids communicating with Earth specifically． One frightening idea is that technological civilizations destroy themselves before they can make their presence known． They might blow themselves up after inventing nuclear weapons （an invention that， on Earth， Fermi had been part of）， or cook themselves to death by over﹣burning fossil fuels．
In a paper published last month on arXiv， an online repository（文献库） ， a group of three astronomers at Pennsylvania State University have analyzed the history of alien hunting and come to a different conclusion． In effect， they reject one of the paradox' s main theory． Astronomers have seen no sign of aliens， argue Jason Wright and his colleagues， because they have not been looking hard enough．
【1】What is the Fermi Paradox？
A. The law of universe supported the appearance of aliens but we never see any．
B. A theory about whether aliens exist on the earth and why we can't see them．
C. Fermi thought that aliens never existed because it was completely a paradox．
D. Fermi concluded that aliens did exist but they could not be seen by humans．
【2】What can we conclude from the second paragraph？
A. The universe doesn't provide the abundance of creation of life．
B. Fermi thought aliens never visited the earth in the history of human．
C. The inability of radio﹣telescope may result in the failure of finding aliens．
D. The civilizations on the earth have been detected by aliens in the universe．
【3】What does the word underlined in the third paragraph mean？
A. Getting together．
B. Fighting each other．
C. Hating each other．
D. Living separately．
【4】How do Jason Wright and his colleagues find the Fermi Paradox？
A. They firmly believe that it is out of date．
B. They actually doubt the base of the paradox．
C. They want to prove that it is completely right．
D. They conclude that aliens actually never exist．
23、 One of the major producers of athletic footwear, with 2002 sales of over $10 billion, is a company called Nike, with corporate headquarters (总部) in Beaverton, Oregon. Forbes magazine identified Nike's president, Philip Knight, as the 53rd-ichest man in the world in 2004. But Nike has not always been a large multimillion-dollar organization. In fact, Knight started the company by selling shoes from the back of his car at track meets,
In the late 1950s Philip Knight was a middle distance runner on the University of Oregon track team, coached by Bill Bowerman. One of the top track coaches in the U, S., Bowerman was also known for experimenting with the design of running shoes in an attempt to make them lighter and more shock-absorbent. After attending Oregon, Knight moved on to do graduate work at Stanford University; his MBA thesis was on marketing athletic shoes. Once he received his degree, Knight traveled to Japan to contact the Onitsuka Tiger Company, a manufacturer of athletic shoes. Knight convinced the company's officials of the potential for its product in the U. S. In 1963 he received his first shipment of Tiger shoes, 200 pairs in total.
In 1964, Knight and Bowerman contributed $500 each to form Blue Ribbon Sports, the predecessor of Nike. The first employees hired by Knight were former college athletes. The company did not have the money to hire “experts”, those knowledgeable in the field. In its early years the organization operated in an unconventional manner that characterized its creative approach to the industry. Communication was informal; people discussed ideas and issues in the hallways, on a run, or over a beer. There was little task differentiation. There were no job descriptions, rigid reporting systems, or detailed rules. The team spirit and shared values of the athletes on Bowerman's teams carried over and provided the basis for the style of management that characterized the early years of Nike.
【1】Which of the following statements is true?
A．Nike is the most popular athletic brand.
B．Nike developed from Blue Ribbon Sports.
C．Knight in the 53rd richest man in the world.
D．Knight was once a long-distance runner.
【2】Why did Knight travel to Japan?
A．To advertise his product.
B．To seek for financial support
C．To apply for the selling right.
D．To learn their management.
【3】What difficulty did Nike face in its early stage?
A．A lack of professionals.
B．A lack of creativity.
C．A lack of team spirits.
D．A tack of communication.
