21、Humans have always assumed that there is a huge gulf between animal behavior and human development. However, recent research into animals shows 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．Difference.
B．Conflict.
C．Balance.
D．Connection.
【2】Why does the author mention “chimpanzees” and “Herring gulls” in Paragraph 2?
A．They are both creative.
B．They are both heavy tool users.
C．They create innovations in different ways.
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．It helps animals adapt to the environment.
C．Animals’ innovations are easy to be identified.
D．Animals’ innovations are facing huge challenges.
【4】What aspect of animals does the last paragraph mainly talk about?
A．Their ability to share information accurately.
B．Their willingness to learn from each other.
C．Their inability to take creativity forward.
D．Their unwillingness to cooperate effectively.
22、How fit are your teeth? Are you lazy about brushing them? Never fear: An inventor is on the case. An electric toothbrush senses how long and how well you brush, and it lets you track your performance on your phone.
The Kolibree toothbrush was exhibited at the International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas this week. It senses how it is moved and can send the information to an Android phone or iPhone via a Bluetooth wireless connection.
The toothbrush will be able to teach you to brush right (don’t forget the insides of the teeth!) and make sure you’re brushing long enough. “It’s kind of like having a dentist actually watch your brushing on a day-to-day basis,” says Thomas Serval, the French inventor.
The toothbrush will also be able to talk to other applications on your phone, so developers could, for instance, create a game controlled by your toothbrush. You could score points for beating monsters among your teeth. “We try to make it smart but also fun,” Serval says.
Serval says he was inspired by his experience as a father. He would come home from work and ask his kids if they had brushed their teeth. They said “yes.” But Serval would find their toothbrush heads dry. He decided he needed a brush that really told him how well his children brushed.
The company says the Kolibree will go on sale this summer, for $99 to $199, developing on features. The U. S. is the first target market.
Serval says that one day, it’ll be possible to replace the brush on the handle with a brushing unit that also has a camera. The camera can even examine holes in your teeth while you brush.
【1】Which is one of the features of the Kolibree toothbrush?
A．It can sense how users brush their teeth.
B．It can track users’ school performance.
C．It can detect users’ fear of seeing a dentist.
D．It can help users find their phones.
【2】What can we learn from Serval’s words in Paragraph 3?
A．You will find it enjoyable to see a dentist.
B．You should see your dentist on a day-to-day basis.
C．You can brush with the Kolibree as if guided by a dentist.
D．You’d like a dentist to watch you brush your teeth every day.
【3】Which of the following might make the Kolibree toothbrush fun?
A．It can be used to update mobile phones.
B．It can be used to play mobile phone games
C．It can send messages to other users
D．It can talk to its developers.
【4】What can we infer about Serval’s children?
A．They were unwilling to brush their teeth
B．They often failed to clean their toothbrushes.
C．They preferred to use a toothbrush with a dry head.
D．They liked brushing their teeth after Serval came home.
【5】What can we learn about the future development of the Kolibree?
A．The brush handle will be removed.
B．A mobile phone will be built into it.
C．It will be used to fill holes in teeth
D．It will be able to check users’ teeth
23、 College graduation eventually means taking much of your attention in your first job search. This process can be challenging, especially for those students who had second thoughts about their chosen major and intended career path — or those who majored in a field not directly connected to a specific career. If you are in one of these groups, fear not! Although your major, coursework, and academic performance are relevant (有关的) to landing a job, they are not the only deciding factors on where you can work. So, just how important is your major to your job search?
Some majors are tied directly to specific career fields. For example, if you wish to become a teacher, you will likely have needed to complete an education program and eventually sit for a licensing exam. The same applies to majors in nursing. If you did not complete an accredited nursing program, you won't be able to take the nursing licensure exam. In these cases, successfully completing a specific major is crucial (关键性的) to landing a job in the matching field.
Other majors, however, are closely related to career paths but don't necessarily require a degree in the area. For example, students who majored in finance, math, or statistics may also have the necessary skills to be hired as an accountant. Although social work majors are most prepared to provide case management services to struggling populations, students who majored in psychology or sociology can be just as qualified.
Lastly, there are many industries, such as professional sales, education (non-teaching positions), insurance, and customer service management, which hire new graduates from several more majors, looking for more generalized requirements. They may simply want to know the student has completed his or her bachelor's degree, which demonstrates (表明) college-level math and writing, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills.
Hopefully, as a college student, you were able to do more than just attend classes. Your non-academic experiences can be very influential on your future career as well. Did you work during college, volunteer, or participate in a club or organization? If so, and if you enjoyed these activities, seek out related careers. If you volunteered with a non-profit organization such as a homeless or domestic (家庭的) violence shelter, seek out positions in social services related to case management or victim advocacy (辩护). You may qualify for a position regardless of your major.
Although it often seems like your college major alone determines your career fate, this just isn't the case. It may influence it, but there are other factors that influence your career options as well. If you don't know what career options to consider based on your major, talk to your faculty or academic advisor. You may be surprised at what opportunities await!
【1】To be a customer service manager, college graduates _________.
A.need to have related qualities B.should pass a licensing exam
C.are required to major in insurance D.must have relevant experiences
【2】What is probably the best title for the passage?
A.Major Ups Your Career
B.Why Your College Major Matters
C.How Important Your Major Is to Your Job
D.Major VS Career: Which Is Right for You
【3】The writer thinks that ________.
A.majors are closely linked to career paths
B.students of science tend to receive higher salaries
C.volunteer experiences help graduates get employed
D.social work graduates have more employment opportunities
24、 For the past five years, Paula Smith, a historian of science, has devoted herself to re-creating long-forgotten techniques. While doing research for her new book, she came across a 16th-century French manuscript（手稿）consisting of nearly 1,000 sets of instructions, covering subjects from tool making to finding the best sand.
The author's intention remains as mysterious（神秘）as his name; he may have been simply taking notes for his own records. But Smith was struck mainly by the fact that she didn't truly grasp any of the skills the author described. "You simply can't get an understanding of that handwork by reading about it," she says.
Though Smith did get her hands on the best sand, doing things the old-fashioned way isn't just about playing around with French mud. Reconstructing the work of the craftsmen（工匠）who lived centuries ago can reveal how they viewed the world, what objects filled their homes, and what went on in the workshops that produced them. It can even help solve present-day problems: In 2015, scientists discovered that a 10th-century English medicine for eve problems could kill a drug-resistant virus.
The work has also brought insights for museums, Smith says. One must know how on object was made in order to preserve it. What's more, reconstructions might be the only way to know what treasures looked like before time wore them down. Scholars have seen this idea in practice with ancient Greek and Roman statues. These sculptures were painted a rainbow of striking colours. We can't appreciate these kinds of details without seeing works of art as they originally appeared-something Smith believes you can do only when you have a road map.
Smith has put the manuscript's ideas into practice. Her final goal is to link the worlds of art and science back together: She believes that bringing the old recipes to life can help develop a kind of learning that highlights experimentation, teamwork, and problem solving.
Back when science—then called “the new philosophy”—took shape, academics looked to craftsmen for help in understanding the natural world. Microscopes and telescopes were invented by way of artistic tinkering（修补）, as craftsmen experimented with glass to better bend light.
If we can rediscover the values of hands-on experience and craftwork, Smith says, we can marry the best of our modern insights with the handiness of our ancestors.
【1】How did Smith, feel after reading the French manuscript?
A.Confused about the technical terms.
B.Impressed with its detailed instructions.
C.Discouraged by its complex structure.
D.Shocked for her own lack of hand skills.
【2】According to Smith, the reconstruction work is done mainly to _____________.
A.restore old workshops B.understand the craftsmen
C.improve visual effects D.inspire the philosophers
【3】Why does the author mention museums?
A.To reveal the beauty of ancient objects.
B.To present the findings of old science.
C.To highlight the importance of antiques.
D.To emphasise the values of hand skills.
【4】Which would be the best title for this passage?
A.Craftsmen Set the Trends for Artists
B.Craftsmanship Leads to New Theories
C.Craftsmanship Makes Better Scientists
D.Craftsmen Reshape the Future of Science
