Interestingly, we know now that numerical（数值的）competence is present on almost every branch of the animal tree of life,” says Andreas Nieder, a neurobiologist from the University of Tuebingen. “Different groups of animals obviously developed this trait（特点）independently from others and that strongly indicates that it has to be of adaptive value.”Honeybees, for instance, can remember the number of landmarks they pass when searching for food in order to find their way back to the hive. The last common ancestor between honeybees and primates lived about 600 million years ago. But still, they evolved numerical competence that, in many respects, is comparable to vertebrate（脊椎动物的）numerical competence. Also, for example, male frogs sing “advertisement” calls to attract females. The females, listening for the complexity of their calls, choose the male that sings the most calls.Wolves are more likely to hunt successfully if they have the right number of wolves in their pack for the size of their prey（猎物）: With prey like deer, only around six to eight wolves are needed, while hunting wild ox requires a pack of nine to thirteen. Their prey also uses this concept to protect themselves from predators — deer tend to live in large herds to reduce the chance of any individual becoming prey. So obviously they are assessing the number of individuals in their groups for their everyday life situations.Despite these many examples of numerical competence in animals, this subject has not gotten many first-hand studies. “Many of these behavioral findings in the wild have usually been collected as by-products or accidental findings of other research questions,” says Nieder. He argues that more research needs to be done to fully understand the numerical competence.1．The phenomenon of animals having their own numerical competence shows that       .A．all groups of animals are related in some waysB．numerical competence must have a survival benefitC．the intelligence of animals varies with different environmentsD．animals’ numerical competence is determined by their adaptability2．What role does numerical competence play in wolves’ hunting?A．It helps them form hunting groups.B．It gives them more options to hunt.C．It makes them discover more prey.D．It offers them new skills to hunt.3．How does the author mainly develop this text?A．By listing figures. B．By asking questions.C．By giving examples. D．By making comparisons.4．From which is the text probably taken?A．A biology textbook. B．A health magazine.C．A travel brochure. D．A research paper. （B）Deorating with Plants, Fruits and Flowers for Chinese New YearChinese New Year is a ___1___ (celebrate) marking the end of the winter season and the beginning of spring.
