27、If you visit Uluwatu temple in Bali, be cautious. The long-tailed temple monkeys there are well-known thieves. Since a long time ago, they have made a living by robbing visitors of their possessions(私人物品) and then holding those objects until a ransom in the form of food is paid. But Jean-Baptiste Leca of the University of Let hbridge, in Canada, wondered whether these monkeys are cleverer still. Sometimes, they do not accept the first offer and hold out for more. He therefore asked himself whether they are able to tell how valuable an item is to its owner, and factor that into their negotiations.
Dr. Leca and his colleagues conducted their experiment by wandering around the temple with video cameras, recording the activities of the monkeys. Every time they saw a monkey show interest in a particular tourist, they recorded the interaction. To work out what was going on, they had first to establish the relative values of food rewards to monkeys, and of stealable objects to people.
To figure out which stealable objects are most valued by people, they divided them into six classes: empty containers such as phone cases and plastic bottles; accessories(搭配物) such as hairpins and key rings; hats and shoes; spectacles and sunglasses; electronics and wallets. They then observed how often victims bothered to bargain with the thief for the return of possessions belonging to different classes, and thus classified objects into low value, medium value and high value.
They found that monkeys do, indeed, have a complex sense of what they are doing—at least, adults and sub-adults do. These animals have a preference for stealing high-value items, and will often hold out either for more rewards or for better ones, if they are in possession of such items. But this is something that they have to learn how to do as they grow up. Young monkeys make no such distinctions(区分), and sub-adults are less good at doing so than adults.
【1】What is the purpose of Leca’s research?
A.To prove monkeys are cleverer than men.
B.To find out what is valuable for monkeys.
C.To record the negotiations between monkeys.
D.To make sure monkeys can judge objects’ values.
【2】What does the underlined word “ransom” in Paragraph 1 mean?
A.Bill.
B.Reward.
C.Tax.
D.Rent.
【3】How are the values of objects classified in Paragraph 3?
A.By the material of objects.
B.By the preference of victims.
C.By the buying price of objects
D.By the frequency of bargaining.
【4】What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A.Young monkeys can tell items.
B.All monkeys prefer high-value items.
C.Monkeys have a simple sense of acts.
D.Monkeys, stealing is an acquired skill.
28、The history alone creates mystery and awe from fans. The official London residence for the Queen and her family has been in existence since 1837. Queen Elizabeth II took the throne in 1953.
In the summer, the State Rooms in the palace are open to the public for tours. However, much of the Queen’s home is off limits.
It is reported that the palace to be 15 times larger than the US President’s residence. The most expensive home in Europe at an estimated 1.5 billion includes 775 rooms.
The Richest YouTube channel recently took viewers on a tour of the ultra-luxurious interior of one of the most famous residences in the world.
The Grand Staircase
The first thing visitors see when walking into the palace is a magnificent, red carpet lined staircase, added by Queen Victoria in 1898. Portraits of the royal family line the walls so visitors can view history as they make their way toward the State Rooms.
The Regency Room (摄政厅)
Fans have surely seen this green and gold room with tassel trim sofas, a desk and traditional fireplace. The famous room is often where the Queen’s official photos are taken and the annual Christmas broadcast is filmed.
The 1844 Room
This room is often used to greet special guests and world leaders. With marble columns and gold mirrors, perhaps most notable is the 1820 neoclassical desk against one wall and the blue and gold chairs on either side.
Outside
Of course, a visit to Buckingham Palace wouldn’t be complete without watching the changing of the guard, a tradition beginning in 1911. The Queen also welcomes more than 30, 000 visitors to her summer garden parties, located in the back of the palace. The gardens include 350 different types of wildflowers, 200 trees and a three-acre lake on more than 39 acres.
One more top-secret feature of the palace-the series of tunnels underneath the property. One, reportedly even leads to the House of Parliament.

【2】Where would Queen often greet the world leaders?

29、 Sure, it's good to get along with your teacher because it makes the time you spend in the classroom more pleasant. And yes, it's good to get along with your teacher because, in general, it's smart to learn how to relate to the different kinds of people you'll meet throughout your life.
But really, there's one super-important reason why you should get along with your teacher. When you do, "learning bursts right open," says Evelyn Vuko, a longtime teacher who writes an education column called "Teacher Says" for the Washington Post newspaper.
In fact, kids who get along with their teachers not only learn more, but they're more comfortable asking questions and getting extra help. This makes it easier to understand new material and do your best on tests. When you have this kind of relationship with a teacher, he or she can be someone to turn to with problems, such as problems with learning or school matters, such as bullying (欺凌弱小者).
As a kid in a primary or middle school, you're at a wonderful period in your life. You're like a sponge (海绵), able to soak up lots of new and exciting information. On top of that, you're able to think about all this information in new ways. Your teacher knows that, and in most cases, is very excited to be the person who's giving you all that material and helping you put it together. Remember, teachers are people, too, and they feel great if you're open to what they're teaching you. That's why they wanted to be teachers in the first place---to teach!
Some kids may be able to learn in any situation, whether they like the teacher or not. But most kids are sensitive (敏感的) to the way they get along with the teacher, and if things aren't going well, they won't learn as well and won't enjoy being in class.
【1】What does the writer mainly talk about in the passage? ________
A.How much the students are expected to get along with teachers.
B.How to make the time in the classroom more pleasant.
C.How important to have a good relationship with teachers.
D.How to get a long well with teachers.
【2】What does "turn to" in the third paragraph really mean? ________
A.get help from B.take hold of C.look for D.think about
【3】According to the passage, which of the following can be inferred? ______
A.If you have a good relationship with your teacher, you can get more help and learn more knowledge.
B.If you find it comfortable to ask questions, you can build a good relationship with teachers.
C.If you are getting on well with your teachers, you have more problems than others.
D.If you do your best on tests, you can build a good relationship with teachers.
【4】Which is Not True on teachers and their work according to the passage? ______
A.There are some students who can learn even if they don't like the teacher.
B.Having a bad relationship with teachers does some harm to your studies.
C.Teachers are excited even if you wouldn't like to accept their teaching.
D.Teachers sometimes have the same feelings as students do.
