A new study reveals that pigens (鸽子) can tackle sme prblems just like artificial intelligence, enabling them t slve difficult tasks that might challenge humans. Previus research has therized that pigens emply a prblem-slving strategy, invlving a trial-and- errr apprach, which is similar t the apprach used in AI mdels but differs frm humans’ reliance n selective attentin and rule use. T examine it, Brandn Turner, a psychlgy prfessr at the Ohi State University, and his clleagues cnducted the new study.
In the study, the pigens were presented with varius visual images, including lines f different widths and angles, and different types f rings. The pigens had t peck (啄) a buttn n the right r left t indicate the categry t which the image belnged. If they gt it crrect, they received fd; if they were wrng, they received nthing. Results shwed that, thrugh trial and errr, the pigens imprved their accuracy in categrizatin tasks, increasing their crrect chices frm abut 55% t 95%.
Researchers believed pigens used assciative learning, which is linking tw phenmena with each ther. Fr example, it is easy t understand the link. between “water” and “wet”. “Assciative learning is frequently assumed t be far t primitive t. explain cmplex visual categrizatin like what we saw the pigens d,” Turner said. But that’s exactly what the researchers fund.
The researchers’ AI mdel tackled the same tasks using just the tw simple mechanisms that pigens were assumed t use: assciative learning and errr crrectin. And, like the pigens, the AI mdel learned t make the right predictins t significantly increase the number f crrect answers. Fr humans, the challenge when given tasks like thse given t pigens is that they wuld try t cme up with rules that culd make the task easier. But in this case, there were n rules, which upsets humans.
What’s interesting, thugh, is that pigens use this methd f learning that is very similar t AI designed by humans, Turner said. “We celebrate hw smart we are that we designed artificial intelligence: at the same time, we regard pigens as nt clever animals,” he said.
8. What is the purpse f the new study?
A. T test a thery.B. T evaluate a mdel.
C. T emply a strategy.D. T invlve an apprach.
9. What were the pigens expected t d in the experiment?
A. Draw circles.B. Crrect errrs.C. Cpy gestures.D. Identify images.
10. What d pigens and AI have in cmmn accrding t the study?
A. They are f equal intelligence.
B. They are gd at making rules.
C. They respnd rapidly t rders frm humans.
D. They emply simple ways t get things dne.
11. What can be a suitable title fr the text?
A. Pigens’ trial-and-errr methd is revealed
B. Pigens utperfrm humans in tugh tasks
C. “Nt smart” pigens may be as smart as AI
D. AI mdels after pigens’ learning apprach

Recently, I accidentally fund a set f Hanfu l nly wre nce frm the bttm f the cupbard. I remember buying them simply t match the ancient-style hair accessries (配饰) a friend gave me. It ccurred t me that 1 had been trapped in the “birdcage effect”.
“Birdcage effect” means that when yu get an item ne day, yu will prepare mre things t match it. Weeks ag, I was in the cmpany f friends engaged in shpping. One said that she wanted t buy a gd writing pen t match the delicate ntebk that her sister gave her, s that she wuld fall in lve with taking ntes n reading, and thus lve reading, nt just reading. I jked that she must have fallen fr the “birdcage effect”. But the friend said with a smile: “Why nt use the ‘birdcage effect’ instead?”
Fr the first time, I heard that the “birdcage effect” can be used in reverse (逆向). Hwever, this can’t help but remind me f middle schl, and I seem t have used the “birdcage effect”. Passing by a bkstre ne day, I purchased a magazine and saw the call fr cntributins published in the magazine, s I started writing with eager hands, and then I fell in lve with writing.
After shpping with my friends that time, I began t prceed t use the “birdcage effect”. I bught a small fresh tableclth t decrate my desk, and a beautiful ntebk t recrd my inspiratin. When everything was ready, I started writing again.
But hw can we get rid f the “birdcage effect” in many things, and even use the “birdcage effect” in the ppsite way? Varius “birdcages” unavidably appear in life, but we can distinguish them. If it is nt in line with the actual situatin, it is a “negative birdcage”, then we must learn t stp lsses in time and maintain a heart f abandnment and separatin. If it is a “psitive birdcage” that mtivates us t develp upward, we can clarify ur gals, shp r decrate apprpriately, and mtivate urselves t mve twards ur gals. At this time, yu will find that the “birdcage effect” is actually nt s terrible!
12. What is paragraph 2 mainly abut?
A. The applicatin f the “birdcage effect” in life.
B. The necessity f using the “birdcage effect” in life.
C. The turning pint f the authr’s idea n the “birdcage effect”.
D. The authr’s cnflict with her friend ver the “birdcage effect”.
13 What is the authr’s purpse in mentining her middle schl experience?
A. T recall her delightful days at schl.
B. T explain the reasn fr her lve with writing.
C. T cnfirm the psitive f the “birdcage effect”.
D. T prve her knwledge f the “birdcage effect”.
14. Hw can we make use f the “birdcage effect” psitively?
A. By realizing this effect has tw sides.
B. By prmting ur persnal cnsumptin.
C. By recgnizing this effect is nt s terrible.
D. By guiding ur acts t g with reasnable gals.
15. What can be a suitable title fr the text?
A. Getting Rid f the Birdcage Effect Cnfidently
B. Mtivating Ourselves t Mve Twards Our Gals
C. The Birdcage Effect: Influence n Cnsumer Behavir
D. The Birdcage Effect: Hw t Use It t Yur Advantage

A new study reveals that pigens (鸽子) can tackle sme prblems just like artificial intelligence, enabling them t slve difficult tasks that might challenge humans. Previus research has therized that pigens emply a prblem-slving strategy, invlving a trial-and- errr apprach, which is similar t the apprach used in AI mdels but differs frm humans’ reliance n selective attentin and rule use. T examine it, Brandn Turner, a psychlgy prfessr at the Ohi State University, and his clleagues cnducted the new study.
In the study, the pigens were presented with varius visual images, including lines f different widths and angles, and different types f rings. The pigens had t peck (啄) a buttn n the right r left t indicate the categry t which the image belnged. If they gt it crrect, they received fd; if they were wrng, they received nthing. Results shwed that, thrugh trial and errr, the pigens imprved their accuracy in categrizatin tasks, increasing their crrect chices frm abut 55% t 95%.
Researchers believed pigens used assciative learning, which is linking tw phenmena with each ther. Fr example, it is easy t understand the link. between “water” and “wet”. “Assciative learning is frequently assumed t be far t primitive t. explain cmplex visual categrizatin like what we saw the pigens d,” Turner said. But that’s exactly what the researchers fund.
The researchers’ AI mdel tackled the same tasks using just the tw simple mechanisms that pigens were assumed t use: assciative learning and errr crrectin. And, like the pigens, the AI mdel learned t make the right predictins t significantly increase the number f crrect answers. Fr humans, the challenge when given tasks like thse given t pigens is that they wuld try t cme up with rules that culd make the task easier. But in this case, there were n rules, which upsets humans.
What’s interesting, thugh, is that pigens use this methd f learning that is very similar t AI designed by humans, Turner said. “We celebrate hw smart we are that we designed artificial intelligence: at the same time, we regard pigens as nt clever animals,” he said.
8. What is the purpse f the new study?
A. T test a thery.B. T evaluate a mdel.
C. T emply a strategy.D. T invlve an apprach.
9. What were the pigens expected t d in the experiment?
A. Draw circles.B. Crrect errrs.C. Cpy gestures.D. Identify images.
10. What d pigens and AI have in cmmn accrding t the study?
A. They are f equal intelligence.
B. They are gd at making rules.
C. They respnd rapidly t rders frm humans.
D. They emply simple ways t get things dne.
11. What can be a suitable title fr the text?
A. Pigens’ trial-and-errr methd is revealed
B. Pigens utperfrm humans in tugh tasks
C. “Nt smart” pigens may be as smart as AI
D. AI mdels after pigens’ learning apprach
【答案】8. A 9. D 10. D 11. C

Recently, I accidentally fund a set f Hanfu l nly wre nce frm the bttm f the cupbard. I remember buying them simply t match the ancient-style hair accessries (配饰) a friend gave me. It ccurred t me that 1 had been trapped in the “birdcage effect”.
“Birdcage effect” means that when yu get an item ne day, yu will prepare mre things t match it. Weeks ag, I was in the cmpany f friends engaged in shpping. One said that she wanted t buy a gd writing pen t match the delicate ntebk that her sister gave her, s that she wuld fall in lve with taking ntes n reading, and thus lve reading, nt just reading. I jked that she must have fallen fr the “birdcage effect”. But the friend said with a smile: “Why nt use the ‘birdcage effect’ instead?”
Fr the first time, I heard that the “birdcage effect” can be used in reverse (逆向). Hwever, this can’t help but remind me f middle schl, and I seem t have used the “birdcage effect”. Passing by a bkstre ne day, I purchased a magazine and saw the call fr cntributins published in the magazine, s I started writing with eager hands, and then I fell in lve with writing.
After shpping with my friends that time, I began t prceed t use the “birdcage effect”. I bught a small fresh tableclth t decrate my desk, and a beautiful ntebk t recrd my inspiratin. When everything was ready, I started writing again.
But hw can we get rid f the “birdcage effect” in many things, and even use the “birdcage effect” in the ppsite way? Varius “birdcages” unavidably appear in life, but we can distinguish them. If it is nt in line with the actual situatin, it is a “negative birdcage”, then we must learn t stp lsses in time and maintain a heart f abandnment and separatin. If it is a “psitive birdcage” that mtivates us t develp upward, we can clarify ur gals, shp r decrate apprpriately, and mtivate urselves t mve twards ur gals. At this time, yu will find that the “birdcage effect” is actually nt s terrible!
12. What is paragraph 2 mainly abut?

【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了“鸟笼效应”以及我们该如何在生活中恰当地利用它。
【12题详解】
主旨大意题。第二段首句““Birdcage effect” means that when yu get an item ne day, yu will prepare mre things t match it. Weeks ag, I was in the cmpany f friends engaged in shpping. One said that she wanted t buy a gd writing pen t match the delicate ntebk that her sister gave her, s that she wuld fall in lve with taking ntes n reading, and thus lve reading, nt just reading. I jked that she must have fallen fr the “birdcage effect”. But the friend said with a smile: “Why nt use the ‘birdcage effect’ instead?”(“鸟笼效应”是指当你有一天得到一件物品时，你会准备更多的东西来搭配它。几周前，我和朋友一起去购物。有的说，她想买一支好的写字笔，搭配姐姐送给她的精致笔记本，让她爱上记读书笔记，从而爱上读书，而不仅仅是读书。我开玩笑说她一定是受了“鸟笼效应”的影响。但朋友笑道：“为什么不用‘鸟笼效应’来代替呢？”)”可知，朋友告诉作者可以反向使用“鸟笼效应”，作者第一次听说“鸟笼效应”可以反向使用，由此可知，第二段主要讲述了作者对“鸟笼效应”的看法有了改变，第三段第一句话“Fr the first time, I heard that the “birdcage effect” can be used in reverse (逆向). (第一次听说“鸟笼效应”可以反向使用)”也是提示，说明作者对“鸟笼效应”的看法发生了改变，故选C。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“Hwever, this can’t help but remind me f middle schl, and I seem t have used the “birdcage effect”. Passing by a bkstre ne day, I purchased a magazine and saw the call fr cntributins published in the magazine, s I started writing with eager hands, and then I fell in lve with writing.(不过，这不禁让我想起了中学时代，我似乎运用了“鸟笼效应”。有一天路过一家书店，我买了一本杂志，看到杂志上刊登的征稿启事，我就开始急切地开始写作，从此我就爱上了写作)”可知，作者运用了“鸟笼效应”的结果是自己爱上了写作，这是“鸟笼效应”给作者带来的积极影响，由此可推知，作者提到她的中学经历的是为了证实“鸟笼效应”的积极作用。故选C。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“If it is a “psitive birdcage” that mtivates us t develp upward, we can clarify ur gals, shp r decrate apprpriately, and mtivate urselves t mve twards ur gals. (如果是一个激励我们向上发展的“积极的鸟笼”，我们可以明确自己的目标，适当的购物或装饰，激励自己朝着目标前进。)”可知，我们可以通过指导我们的行为去实现合理的目标以此来积极利用“鸟笼效应”，故选D。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第二段中““Birdcage effect” means that when yu get an item ne day, yu will prepare mre things t match it. (“鸟笼效应”是指当你有一天得到一件物品时，你会准备更多的东西来搭配它。)”，第三段中“Fr the first time, I heard that the “birdcage effect” can be used in reverse (逆向). (第一次听说“鸟笼效应”可以反向使用)”和最后一段“But hw can we get rid f the “birdcage effect” in many things, and even use the “birdcage effect” in the ppsite way?

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。本文介绍了圣地亚哥动物园新引进的两只大熊猫云川和新宝，它们是21年来首次进入美国的大熊猫。
【36题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：圣地亚哥最新的大熊猫于周四在圣地亚哥动物园的熊猫岭栖息地公开亮相。据动物园介绍，这对大熊猫“云川”和“新宝”是21年来首批进入美国的大熊猫。此处需要用一个非谓语动词短语来修饰短语the first giant pandas，由于giant pandas被序数词first修饰，因此使用不定式t enter作为后置定语。故填t enter。
【37题详解】
考查并列连词。句意：我们的新居民将为游客带来欢乐，并象征着国际保护工作的持久精神。此处需要连接两个并列的动词短语bring jy和symblize the enduring spirit，两个动作为并列关系。故填and。
【38题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：动物园表示，熊猫岭将是这对熊猫的栖息地，比之前的熊猫栖息地大四倍，并以中国的景观为灵感，模仿了峡谷、山脉和悬崖的特征。此处是定语从句，修饰先行词The Panda Ridge habitat，由于从句中缺少地点状语，因此使用关系副词where来引导定语从句。故填where。
【39题详解】
考查介词。句意：同上。此处构成with复合结构即是with+宾语+ding结构。此处现在分词作宾补。故填with。
【40题详解】
考查冠词。句意：参观动物园的游客可以预订一个80分钟的清晨徒步游去看熊猫，这并不包括在门票中。此处需要用一个冠词来修饰80-minute这个以元音音素开头的单数可数名词短语。由于80-minute是泛指的一个80分钟的游览，因此使用不定冠词an。故填an。
【41题详解】
考查名词。句意：同上。设空处使用名词作宾语。admissin表示“门票”。故填admissin。
【42题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：中国向20多个国家借出大熊猫，这一项目通常被称为“熊猫外交”。refer与所修饰的名词prgram构成动宾关系，所以用过去分词作定语。故填referred。
【43题详解】
考查动词时态。句意：自1994年以来，圣地亚哥动物园一直与四川保护中心合作开展物种行为和疾病预防的合作研究。此处时间状语是Since 1994，因此可以使用现在完成时has wrked或现在完成进行时has been wrking，表示动作发生在过去持续到现在，或者持续到将来。故填has wrked/has been wrking。
【44题详解】
考查副词。句意：动物园表示，他们正在与中国专家密切合作，以满足大熊猫的饮食需求，提供各种新鲜竹子和当地改良的熊猫面包。此处需要用clsely来修饰动词wrk，表示“紧密地合作”。故填clsely。
【45题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：同上。此处prviding是伴随状语，与逻辑主语it是主动关系，且动作与主句动作同时发生。故填prviding。
