New findings suggest that when it-cmes t learning, the snake may be quite a bit like humans. David Hltzman, a scientist at the University f Rchester, has fund that snakes have a much greater capacity fr learning than earlier studies had indicated.
Hltzman’s study challenged 24 snakes t escape frm a black plastic cntainer the size f a child’s pl. Cards munted n the cntainer’s walls and tape n its flr prvided the snakes with visual and tuchable signals t find their gal: hles in the cntainer’s bttm that ffer a dark, cmfrtable spt t hide.
Simply falling int a hle isn’t the nly prf that the snakes are learning smething, thugh. “Speed t find that gal is ne f the measures which shws they’re learning,” Hltzman says. “On average, they take ver 700 secnds t find the crrect hle n the first day f training, and then g dwn t abut 400 secnds by the furth day f training. Sme are actually very fast and find it in less than 30 secnds.”
Studies dating back t the 1950s interpreted snakes’ awkwardness with mazes(迷宫)as a pr reflectin n their intelligence. “Early attempts t study snake intelligence were prblematic because the studies used mazes as testing arenas(场地)-as thugh snakes might be expected t run thrugh mazes in the same way mice run thrugh mazes,” says Peter Kareiva, a prfessr f zlgy. “Snakes d nt encunter anything like mazes in nature, and they d nt learn hw t run mazes in labratry cnditins.”
Hltzman als fund a few age-based differences in the signals the snakes use. Yung snakes appear t be mre adaptable and resurceful, using a variety f clues t find their way t the exit.But their elders seem t rely much mre heavily n visual clues. “Actually, ne f the amazing findings frm ur studies is that snakes d use visin in lcating places,” says Hltzman. “They dn’t just rely n the chemical clues picked up by sticking their tngues ut, as many snake bilgists assume.”
8. What is the functin f the cards and tape?
A. T direct the snakes t the exits.
B. T prtect the snakes frm bright lights.
C. T cver the hles at the cntainer’s bttm.
D. T make the cntainer a cmfrtable spt t stay.
9 What d the data in paragraph 3 shw abut the snakes accrding t Hltzman?
A. They are skillful escapers.B. They are gd learners.
C. They cmmunicate with each ther.D. They adapt t envirnments quickly.
10. What was the prblem with early attempts t study snake intelligence?
A. They chse the wrng testing arenas.
B. They failed t d tests in labratry cnditins.
C. They referred t studies dating back t the 1950s.
D. They cmpared snakes with a different kind f animal.
11. What astnishes Hltzman abut snakes?

B. They leave chemical clues everywhere.
C. The yung beat their elders in many ways.

Research led by eclgist Bart Hekstra f the University f Amsterdam shws that birds are affected by the mass use f firewrks n New Year’s Eve up t a distance f 10 km (6 miles) away.
With data frm weather radars and bird cunts an internatinal team f researchers revealed hw many birds take ff immediately after the start f the firewrks, at what distance frm firewrks this ccurs and which species grups mainly react. “Birds take ff as a result f an acute flight respnse due t sudden nise and light. We already knew that many water birds react strngly, but nw we als see the effect n ther birds thrughut the Netherlands, ”says eclgist Bart Hekstra f the University f Amsterdam. In the scientific jurnal Frntiers in Eclgy and the Envirnment, the researchers therefre argue fr large firewrks-free znes.
Last year, ther researchers at IBED discvered that geese are s affected by firewrks that they spend an average f 10% lnger lking fr fd than nrmal during at least the next 11 days. They apparently need that time t restre their energy t their frmer cnditin, after fleeing frm the firewrks.
Because 62% f all birds in the Netherlands live within a radius f 2. 5 km f inhabited areas, the cnsequences f firewrks are high fr all birds thrughut the cuntry. “Flying requires a lt f energy, s ideally birds shuld be disturbed as little as pssible during the cld winter mnths. Measures t ensure this are especially imprtant in pen areas such as grasslands, where many larger birds spend the winter. The effects f firewrks n birds are less prnunced near frests and semi-pen habitats. In additin, smaller birds such as tits and finches live there, which are less likely t fly away frm disturbance.”
The authrs argue fr firewrks-free znes in areas where large birds live. Hekstra: “These buffer znes culd be smaller in areas where light and sund travel less far, such as near frests. Furthermre, firewrks shuld mainly be lit at central lcatins in built-up areas, as far away frm birds as pssible. It wuld be best fr birds if we mved twards light shws withut sund, such as drne shws r decrative firewrks withut very lud bangs.”
12. What can we learn abut the research?
A. It’s the first ne abut firewrks’ effects n birds.
B. It’s cnducted by cllecting data frm weather radars.
C. It shws the extent f the firewrks’ influence n birds.
D. It keeps track f birds thrughut Netherlands and beynd.
13. Why did geese spend mre time lking fr fd?
A T make up fr the lst energy.B. T stre mre fd in case.
C. T find a new surce f energy.D. T find a place withut firewrks.
14. What des the underlined wrd “prnunced” in Para. 4 mean?
A. Predictable.B. Nticeable.
C. Admirable.D. Avidable.
15. What can be the best title fr the passage?
A. Panic in the airB. Firewrks-free znes
C. Firewrks in the wrldD. Birds thrughut the cuntry

New findings suggest that when it-cmes t learning, the snake may be quite a bit like humans. David Hltzman, a scientist at the University f Rchester, has fund that snakes have a much greater capacity fr learning than earlier studies had indicated.
Hltzman’s study challenged 24 snakes t escape frm a black plastic cntainer the size f a child’s pl. Cards munted n the cntainer’s walls and tape n its flr prvided the snakes with visual and tuchable signals t find their gal: hles in the cntainer’s bttm that ffer a dark, cmfrtable spt t hide.
Simply falling int a hle isn’t the nly prf that the snakes are learning smething, thugh. “Speed t find that gal is ne f the measures which shws they’re learning,” Hltzman says. “On average, they take ver 700 secnds t find the crrect hle n the first day f training, and then g dwn t abut 400 secnds by the furth day f training. Sme are actually very fast and find it in less than 30 secnds.”
Studies dating back t the 1950s interpreted snakes’ awkwardness with mazes(迷宫)as a pr reflectin n their intelligence. “Early attempts t study snake intelligence were prblematic because the studies used mazes as testing arenas(场地)-as thugh snakes might be expected t run thrugh mazes in the same way mice run thrugh mazes,” says Peter Kareiva, a prfessr f zlgy. “Snakes d nt encunter anything like mazes in nature, and they d nt learn hw t run mazes in labratry cnditins.”
Hltzman als fund a few age-based differences in the signals the snakes use. Yung snakes appear t be mre adaptable and resurceful, using a variety f clues t find their way t the exit.But their elders seem t rely much mre heavily n visual clues. “Actually, ne f the amazing findings frm ur studies is that snakes d use visin in lcating places,” says Hltzman. “They dn’t just rely n the chemical clues picked up by sticking their tngues ut, as many snake bilgists assume.”
8. What is the functin f the cards and tape?
A. T direct the snakes t the exits.
B. T prtect the snakes frm bright lights.
C. T cver the hles at the cntainer’s bttm.
D. T make the cntainer a cmfrtable spt t stay.
9. What d the data in paragraph 3 shw abut the snakes accrding t Hltzman?
A. They are skillful escapers.B. They are gd learners.
C. They cmmunicate with each ther.D. They adapt t envirnments quickly.
10. What was the prblem with early attempts t study snake intelligence?
A. They chse the wrng testing arenas.
B. They failed t d tests in labratry cnditins.
C. They referred t studies dating back t the 1950s.
D. They cmpared snakes with a different kind f animal.
11. What astnishes Hltzman abut snakes?

【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“‘Speed t find that gal is ne f the measures which shws they’re learning,’ Hltzman says. ‘On average, they take ver 700 secnds t find the crrect hle n the first day f training, and then g dwn t abut 400 secnds by the furth day f training. Sme are actually very fast and find it in less than 30 secnds.’(‘找到目标的速度是显示它们正在学习的指标之一，’霍尔茨曼说。‘在训练的第一天，它们平均需要700多秒才能找到正确的洞，然后在训练的第四天减少到400秒左右。有些甚至非常快，不到30秒就找到了’)”可知，第三段数据主要表明蛇是有学习能力的。故选B项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“Early attempts t study snake intelligence were prblematic because the studies used mazes as testing arenas(场地)-as thugh snakes might be expected t run thrugh mazes in the same way mice run thrugh mazes(早期研究蛇智力的尝试是有问题的，因为研究用迷宫作为测试场所——好像蛇可能会像老鼠一样穿过迷宫一样)”可知，早期研究蛇的智力的尝试是选择的测验场地不对。故选A项。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“‘Actually, ne f the amazing findings frm ur studies is that snakes d use visin in lcating places,’ says Hltzman. ‘They dn’t just rely n the chemical clues picked up by sticking their tngues ut, as many snake bilgists assume.’(‘实际上，我们研究的一个惊人发现是，蛇确实利用视觉来定位位置，’霍尔茨曼说。‘它们不像许多蛇生物学家认为的那样，仅仅依靠伸出舌头获取的化学线索’)”可知，令霍尔茨曼感到惊讶的是蛇是靠视觉确定位置的。故选A项。

Research led by eclgist Bart Hekstra f the University f Amsterdam shws that birds are affected by the mass use f firewrks n New Year’s Eve up t a distance f 10 km (6 miles) away.
With data frm weather radars and bird cunts an internatinal team f researchers revealed hw many birds take ff immediately after the start f the firewrks, at what distance frm firewrks this ccurs and which species grups mainly react. “Birds take ff as a result f an acute flight respnse due t sudden nise and light. We already knew that many water birds react strngly, but nw we als see the effect n ther birds thrughut the Netherlands, ”says eclgist Bart Hekstra f the University f Amsterdam. In the scientific jurnal Frntiers in Eclgy and the Envirnment, the researchers therefre argue fr large firewrks-free znes.
Last year, ther researchers at IBED discvered that geese are s affected by firewrks that they spend an average f 10% lnger lking fr fd than nrmal during at least the next 11 days. They apparently need that time t restre their energy t their frmer cnditin, after fleeing frm the firewrks.
Because 62% f all birds in the Netherlands live within a radius f 2. 5 km f inhabited areas, the cnsequences f firewrks are high fr all birds thrughut the cuntry. “Flying requires a lt f energy, s ideally birds shuld be disturbed as little as pssible during the cld winter mnths. Measures t ensure this are especially imprtant in pen areas such as grasslands, where many larger birds spend the winter. The effects f firewrks n birds are less prnunced near frests and semi-pen habitats. In additin, smaller birds such as tits and finches live there, which are less likely t fly away frm disturbance.”
The authrs argue fr firewrks-free znes in areas where large birds live. Hekstra: “These buffer znes culd be smaller in areas where light and sund travel less far, such as near frests. Furthermre, firewrks shuld mainly be lit at central lcatins in built-up areas, as far away frm birds as pssible. It wuld be best fr birds if we mved twards light shws withut sund, such as drne shws r decrative firewrks withut very lud bangs.”
12. What can we learn abut the research?
A. It’s the first ne abut firewrks’ effects n birds.
B. It’s cnducted by cllecting data frm weather radars.
C. It shws the extent f the firewrks’ influence n birds.
D. It keeps track f birds thrughut Netherlands and beynd.
13. Why did geese spend mre time lking fr fd?
A. T make up fr the lst energy.B. T stre mre fd in case.
C. T find a new surce f energy.D. T find a place withut firewrks.
14. What des the underlined wrd “prnunced” in Para. 4 mean?
A. Predictable.B. Nticeable.
C. Admirable.D. Avidable.
15. What can be the best title fr the passage?
A. Panic in the airB. Firewrks-free znes
C. Firewrks in the wrldD. Birds thrughut the cuntry
【答案】12. C 13. A 14. B 15. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了烟花对鸟类的影响。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Research led by eclgist Bart Hekstra f the University f Amsterdam shws that birds are affected by the mass use f firewrks n New Year’s Eve up t a distance f 10 km (6 miles) away. (阿姆斯特丹大学的生态学家巴特·胡克斯特拉领导的研究表明，除夕夜大量燃放烟花爆竹会影响到10公里（6英里）外的鸟类。)”可知，这项研究告诉读者燃放烟花对鸟类的影响程度。故选C。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Last year, ther researchers at IBED discvered that geese are s affected by firewrks that they spend an average f 10% lnger lking fr fd than nrmal during at least the next 11 days. They apparently need that time t restre their energy t their frmer cnditin, after fleeing frm the firewrks. (去年，IBED的其他研究人员发现，鹅受到烟花的影响很大，至少在接下来的11天里，它们寻找食物的时间平均比正常情况长10%。在逃离烟火之后，他们显然需要时间将精力恢复到以前的状态。)”可知，在逃离烟花之后，它们需要这段时间来补充失去的精力，以恢复到以前的状态。故选A。
【14题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第四段中“Because 62% f all birds in the Netherlands live within a radius f 2.5 km f inhabited areas, the cnsequences f firewrks are high fr all birds thrughut the cuntry. (由于荷兰62%的鸟类生活在居民区半径2.5公里的范围内，因此烟花对全国所有鸟类的影响都很大。)”和划线词后“near frests and semi-pen habitats (在森林和半开放的栖息地附近)”可知，烟花对离居民区近的鸟类影响很大，在森林和半开放的栖息地附近，烟花对鸟类的影响不那么明显。所以划线词的含义为“显著的、明显的”A. Predictable可预测的；B. Nticeable显著的；C. Admirable令人钦佩的；D. Avidable可避免的。故选B。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是由文章第一段“Research led by eclgist Bart Hekstra f the University f Amsterdam shws that birds are affected by the mass use f firewrks n New Year’s Eve up t a distance f 10 km(6 miles)away. (阿姆斯特丹大学的生态学家巴特·胡克斯特拉领导的研究表明，除夕夜大量燃放烟花爆竹会影响到10公里（6英里）外的鸟类)”可知，文章主要介绍了烟花对鸟类的影响。A选项中in the air 暗指鸟类，panic 指烟花带来的影响，故选项A“Panic in the air (空气中弥漫着恐慌)”为最佳答案。故选A。
