21、People have always supposed that there is a huge gulf between animal evolution and human development. However, recent research into animals indicates that animals are continuously designing innovative methods to finish their tasks. Examining the nature and results of their creativity can help us understand evolution.
Research shows that animals too can be creative. By inventing new behavioral patterns and adjusting their behavior to new contexts, as well as to changes in social and ecological environments, researchers show that animal innovation too can be diverse. For instance, chimpanzees (猩猩) use tools such as sharp spines and stalks to remove the hearts of palm vegetables from trees. Herring gulls (鲜鱼海鸥) found out quite a cruel way of killing rabbits—drowning them in the sea.
Innovative species tend to survive when they enter new places, but novel behavior cannot be recognized unless “normal” behavior is studied. Researchers can now count and document the innovations that have been created by species, which would help them to quantify their creativity. Studies also show us that all animals are not equally inventive, with primates (灵长目动物) tending to be more innovative due to their bigger brains.
The greatest scientific significance has been the innovation shown by animals such as apes, capuchins and macaques among primates. These species of primates possess the biggest brains in proportion to their body sizes. They are also heavy tool users. Their broad diets and complex forms of learning are also insightful. They indicate an evolutionary strategy that gave them new solutions to life’s challenges.
However, even if these animals show innovativeness, they do not have the ability to improve upon solutions of others. Unless they share information accurately and copy each other’s inventions, their creative inventions are likely to vanish before they can be innovated further. This ability can be managed only by humans, for we are able to build on shared knowledge.
【1】What does the underlined word “gulf” in the first paragraph mean?
A．Connection.
B．Conflict.
C．Balance.
D．Difference.
【2】Why does the author mention “chimpanzees” and “Herring gulls” in Paragraph 2?
A．They create innovations in different ways.
B．They are both heavy tool users.
C．They are both creative.
D．They kill other animals in the same cruel way.
【3】What can we learn about animal creativity?
A．It is equally distributed among animals.
B．Animals’ innovations are easy to be identified.
C．It helps animals adapt to the environment.
D．Animals’ innovations are facing huge challenges.
【4】What aspect of animals does the last paragraph mainly talk about?
A．Their inability to better others’ inventions.
B．Their willingness to learn from each other.
C．Their ability to share information accurately.
D．Their unwillingness to cooperate effectively.

25、When I was three, I had a very good friend named Gemma. She was fearless where I was anxious, ________ where I was conservative and skillful where I was clumsy. She was also entirely imaginary.
I can’t remember when or how I “met” Gemma, and, perhaps sadder still, I don’t remember the last time I “saw” her. Even though my brain created her, she ________ me to go on adventures I would not have had the confidence to embark upon without her. So it saddened me to see the results of a recent survey showing 72% of nursery workers believed children have fewer ________ friends than they did five years ago, with 63% believing this to be a result of increased screen time.
It’s thought that 40% of us had imaginary friends during our ________. In an essay, the researchers found that 81% of those surveyed had “lost” their imaginary friends after they turned 10, but most of these friendships ended ________. Perhaps imaginary friends simply stay with us for as long as we need them, moving on when our lives become too full and loaded for our brains to make space to generate their own ________.
If you’ve enjoyed an imaginary friendship, I’d guess that you did not consciously sit down to create a perfect pal-they probably arrived ________, as an indication of thoughts and ideas you never knew you had. Our imaginary friends prompt us to explore and honour our curiosity. It is very hard to make the time and the space to do this as an adult. In order to be a good ________ to an imaginary friend, you need to be able to make “what if?” into an exciting plan. When we grow up. we’re too quick to finish the sentence with, “what if it goes wrong?”
As an adult, we might not still need imaginary friends, but maybe we need to be reminded that a little bit of ________ is good for us, and that our brains can conjure up (想起) the best ideas when they are left to their own devices. If there are fewer imaginary friends populating the worlds that our children live in, that might lead to a future with fewer artists, writers and problem-solvers, which is a real cause for ________.
