22、Its well known that our human memory can fail us. People can be forgetful, and they can sometimes also remember things incorrectly, with damaging consequences in the classroom, courtroom, and other areas of life. Now, researchers show for the first time that bumblebees(大黄蜂) can be unreliable witnesses too.
Bumblebees are rather clever animals, which explains why Chittka has been studying learning and memory in the insects for the last 20 years.
Most times when people have studied memory in animals, errors in performance have been taken to mean that the animals failed to learn the task or perhaps learned it and then forgot. But what if animals can experience a more interesting type of memory failure?
To find out, Chittka first trained bumblebees to expect a reward when visiting a yellow artificial flower followed by one with black-and-white rings. During subsequent tests, bees were given a choice between three types of flowers. Two were the types they’d seen in the training before. The third had yellow-and-white rings, representing a mixed-up version of the other two. Minutes after the training, the bees showed a clear preference for the flower that recently rewarded them.
One or three days later, however, something very different happened when the bumblebees’ memory was put to the test. At first, the bees showed the same preference displayed in the earlier tests, but as the time went on, they began selecting the flower with yellow rings, even though they’d never actually seen that one in training before.
Chittka says that insects make similar errors in the conjunction (结合) of long-term memories as humans do. The ability to extract (提取) common features between different events in the environment might come at the expense of remembering every detail correctly. In bees, with their limited brain capacity (容量), the pressure to store main features of several objects rather than each individual object might be much greater, compared with humans.
【1】Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?
A. Human memory can fail sometimes.
B. Bumblebees make false memories too.
C. Humans are not as clever as bumblebees.
D. Bumblebees have extraordinary memory.
【2】Which of the following is the closest in meaning to the underlined word subsequent?
A. scientific B. accurate
C. following D. exceptional
【3】What does the test mentioned in Paragraph 4 tell us?
A. Short-term memories serve the bees well.
B. The yellow artificial flower appeals to the bees.
C. Bumblebees like the flowers with yellow-and-white rings.
D. Bees have remarkable abilities to distinguish colors.
【4】 We can infer from the passage that ______.
A. Chittka thinks that bumblebees failed to remember the color of the flowers
B. Researchers have learned that bumblebees are unreliable animals
C. There exist no similarities between the memory errors in humans and bees.
D. It is less challenging for humans than bees to store main features of several objects.
23、Dreaming of summer picnics filled with family and fun? We’ve come up with 4 of the top picnic areas across the US.
Cumberland Islands, Georgia
Just a few hours south of Savannah, this national seashore is a wonderful picnic place. It’s an unspoiled place in the Deep South with over 50 miles of hiking trails (小径). Covered in Spanish moss, the trails are lined with trees and since it’s still a rural area, the stars line up for a grand show at night and create the perfect evening starlit picnic opportunity.
Grant Park, Chicago
If you are looking for delicious food in Chicago, go for a taste of a 20-day, lake-front, foodie festival that happens in October each year. Grab a spot near the fountain to enjoy your picnic, appreciate the city scenery and lake views and relax with family and friends. If you are there on July 4th, be sure to plan the day to include the fireworks display at the Navy Pier.
Cranberry Islands, Maine
Here, you’ll enjoy natural picnics with island views. The islands are a delightful group of islands about 20 minutes offshore from Acadia National Park. You can visit the islands by private boat or ferry service. Bring a picnic basket along for the ride as it’s a romantic picnic area to take your special someone or go for a family outing to visit the islands.
Big Sur, California
The Point Lobos State Reserve is a small gem. Besides the coastal wildlife there are rare plant communities, and unique geological formations. It’s good to have a picnic there. We recommend bringing a telescope, because much of the wildlife can be seen only at a distance.
【1】Why does the writer advise us to go to Cumberland Islands?
A．Because they are just next to Savannah.
B．Because they have a grand show every night.
C．Because they are almost covered in Spanish moss.
D．Because they keep their original ecology (生态).
【2】Where can you enjoy observing wildlife with a telescope?
A．At the Navy Pier.
B．At the Point Lobos State Reserve
C．At Acadia National Park.
D．In the Deep South.
【3】Where can we most probably read this passage?
A．In a personal dairy.
B．In a science report.
C．In a geography textbook.
D．In a travel magazine.
24、 It’s been said by some people that men are better at math and science than women. And taking a look at the figures from college departments, it could be difficult to argue with that. However, one famous British university is trying to put an end to this theory.
At Oxford University, math and computer science are two subjects that have big gaps in terms of grades between men and women. For example, just 21.2 percent of women taking math graduated with first-class degrees in 2017, compared to 45.5 percent of men, reported The Times.
The university believes that female students are more likely to be affected by “time pressure”. So to solve this problem, female students at Oxford were given 15 minutes more than male students to finish their math and computer science exams in the summer of 2017.
The decision came not long after the university’s history department allowed its female students to take exams at home in 2017, reported The Independent. The aim of that plan was also to close the gap between men and women in the subject’s exam results.
These changes were welcomed by some people, who saw them as a positive sign.
However, others criticized the decisions, saying they suggest that females are the weaker sex.
Indeed, research from the US Department of Education suggested that girls are as good at math-based subjects as boys are, reported news website Quartz in January. However, they’re prevented from cultivating an interest in math and science because of the bias (偏见) that women aren’t good at those subjects, a 2012 report by Forbes said.
But according to Quartz, there are better ways to equalize education between the sexes, such as giving more resources to girls to help them fall in love with math and science.
And for girls who think they’re bad at these subjects, it could all just be in their imagination. “The truth is, you probably are a math person, and by thinking otherwise, you are possibly hamstringing (破坏)your own career,” wrote The Atlantic.
【1】We can know from Paragraph 1 that________.
A.There is a gap between the math abilities of males and females.
B.According to some college departments, females got better grades than males in math.
C.It is difficult to know whether males or females are more skilled in math.
D.A British university doesn’t believe females are the weaker in math and is trying to help solve the problem.
【2】Which of the following is not mentioned in the text?
A.Who is more excellent in terms of grades in math and computer science.
B.Whether Oxford University’s measures are effective.
C.What Oxford University did to improve females’ math grades.
D.What we should do to equalize education between sexes.
【3】What can be inferred from the text?
A.Females need more time during the math exams.
B.Due to the bias that women aren’t good at math, females performed badly in math-based subjects.
C.If developing an interest in math, females may be no worse than males.
D.The more resources are given to females, the better grades they will get in the math exams.
