    题目列表(包括答案和解析)

    阅读理解。

          Every year in English-speaking countries, people list the most popular names. Here are some examples.
    In the United States at the moment the three most popular names for girls are Emily, Emma and Madison.
    For boys, they are Michael, Joshua and Mathew. In Britain a parent today might call their little girl Grace,
    Jessica or Ruby. If they have a little boy they could call him Jack, Thomas or Oliver. 　　
         In China names have very clear meanings. If a girl is called Mei, her name means "beautiful". If a boy is
    called Wu, his name means "like a soldier". Names in English-speaking countries are like this too. The girl's
    name Joy is probably partly chosen because the parents wish their daughter to be happy and bring joy to
    others. If a girl is called Ruby, it may be because of the beautiful red precious (宝贵的) stone. 　　
         Parents often pick names that can be shortened (缩写). This can be confusing (困惑的) for Chinese
    people. Parents might choose such names because they want to be able to speak to their kid in a personal
    (私人的) way. 　　
         For example, a popular name is William. But William can be shortened to Will, Willy, Bill and Billy. The
    same is true of the favorite old name for a girl, Elizabeth. Elizabeth can be shortened to Beth, Liza and Liz. 　　
         Another reason kids get the names they do is that parents want to name their boy or girl after someone
    who is famous, such as an actor, pop star or sports personality. David is a popular name in Britain, partly
    because of the fame (名气) of the footballer David Beckham.

    A. Emily

    A. The name can be shortened 　　
    B. They want their child to be happy 　　
    C. The name has a very good meaning 　　
    D. They can call their child in a personal way

    　　When we talk about intelligence(智力), we do not mean the ability to get good scores on certain kinds of tests or even the ability to do well in school．By intelligence we mean a way of living and behaving(表现), especially in a new situation．If we want to test intelligence, we need to find out how a person acts instead of how much he knows what to do．

    　　For example, when in a new situation, an intelligent person thinks about the situation, not about himself or what might happen to him．He tries to find out all be can, and then he acts immediately and tries to do something about it．He probably isn't sure how it will all work out, but at least he tries．And if he cannot make things work out right, he doesn't feel ashamed(羞愧)that he failed, he just tries to learn from his mistakes．An intelligent person, even if he is very young, has a special outlook(看法)on life, a special feeling about life, and how he fits into it．

    　　If you look at children, you'll see great difference between what we call“bright”children and“non-bright”children．They are actually two different kinds of people, not just the same kind with different amount of intelligence．For example, the bright child really wants to find out about life-he tries to get in touch with everything around him．But the unintelligent child keeps more to himself and his own dream-world：he seems to have a wall between him and life in general．

    (1)

    　　For a long time, scientists didn’t study animal thinking．Most of them did not believe that animals could think．They thought humans were the only thinking animals．

    　　Now more scientists are studying this subject．But it’s very hard to prove things that no one can see or measure．So some scientists decided to take a look at brains．

    　　Is bigger better?No．Cow brains are bigger than dog brains, but that doesn’t make cows smarter than dogs．And squirrels have some of the biggest brains of all for their body size．But squirrels aren’t even close to being the smartest animals in the world．So the size of a brain may give some clues(线索)about brain power, but it doesn’t prove anything．

    　　Other scientists study thinking by ________ how animals solve problems．They watch animals in the wild or do thinking tests in a lab．

    　　For example, the scientist might put some food just out of an animal’s reach．One kind of animal may grab a stick and use it to slide the food over．Another kind might not be able to figure out a way to get the food．Some scientists think animals that have lots of problems to solve must be smarter than animals with simple lives．Scientists also study certain kinds of behaviour for clues about thinking．They watch for three things：whether animals use tools, how they act with each other, and how they communicate．

    1．“This subject” in Paragraph 2 refers to ________．

    2．The underlined word “smarter” means ________ in English．(限填一词)

    3．What have scientists learned from studying the size of animals’ brains?

    ________________________________

    4．Complete the sentence with just one word：Other scientists study thinking by ________ how animals solve problems．(限填一词)

    5．Scientists study such animals’ behavior as whether animals use tools, how they act with each other and ________ as well．
