Though not known to use tools in the wild, the birds have proved skilful at tool use while kept in the cage. In a recent experiment, cockatoos were presented with a box with a nut inside it. The clear front of the box had a “keyhole“ in a geometric shape, and the birds were given five differently shaped “keys” to choose from. Inserting the correct "key" would let out the nut.In humans, babies can put a round shape in a round hole from around one year of age, but it will be another year before they are able to do the same with less symmetrical (对称的)shapes. This ability to recognize that a shape will need to be turned in a specific direction before it will fit is called an "allocentric frame of reference. In the experiment, Goffin's cockatoos were able to select the right tool for the job, in most cases, by visual recognition alone. Where trial-and-error was used, the cockatoos did better than monkeys in similar tests. This indicates that Goffin'scockatoos do indeed possess an allocentric frame of reference when moving objects in space, similar to two-year-old babies.The next step, according to the researchers, is to try and work out whether the cockatoos rely entirely on visual clues （线索）,or also use a sense of touch in making their shape selections.4. How did the cockatoos get the nut from the box in the experiment?A.By following instructions.B.By using a tool.C.By turning the box around.D.By removing the lid.5. . Which task can human one-year-olds most likely complete according to the text?A.Using a key to unlock a door.B.Telling parrots from other birds.C.Putting a ball into a round hole.D.Grouping toys of different shapes.6. What does the follow-up test aim to find out about the cockatoos?A. How far they are able to see.B How they track moving objects.C. Whether they are smarter than monkeys.D. Whether they use a sense of touch in the test.7. Which can be a suitable title for the text?A. Cockatoos: Quick Error CheckersB. Cockatoos: Independent LearnersC. Cockatoos: Clever Signal-ReadersD. Cockatoos: Skillful Shape-SortersCSometime in the early 1960s, a significant thing happened in Sydney, Australia. The city discovered its harbor. Then, one after another, Sydney discovered lots of things that were just sort of there - broad parks, superb beaches, and a culturally diverse population. But it is the harbor that makes the city.Andrew Reynolds, a cheerful fellow in his early 30s, pilots Sydney ferryboats for a living. I spent the whole morning shuttling back and forth across the harbor. After our third run Andrew shut down the engine, and we went our separate ways - he for a lunch break, I to explore the city."I'll miss these old boats,“ he said as we parted.“How do you mean?” I asked.“Oh, they're replacing them with catamarans. Catamarans are faster, but they're not soelegant, and they're not fun to pilot. But thafs progress, I guess.”Everywhere in Sydney these days, change and progress are the watchwords （口 号），and traditions are increasingly rare. Shirley Fitzgerald, the city's official historian, told me that in its rush to modernity in the 1970s, Sydney swept aside much of its past, including many of its finest buildings. "Sydney is confused about itself J she said. "We can't seem to make up our minds whether we want a modem city or a traditional one. It's a conflict that we aren't getting any better at resolving （解决）On the other hand, being young and old at the same time has its attractions. I considered this when I met a thoughtful young businessman named Anthony. "Many people say that we lack culture in this country/9 he told me. "What people forget is that the Italians, when they came to Australia, brought 2000 years of their culture, the Greeks some 3000 years, and the Chinese more still. We've got a foundation built on ancient cultures but with a drive and dynamism of a young country. It a pretty hard combination to beat”He is right, but I can't help wishing they would keep those old ferries.8. What is the first paragraph mainly about?A. Sydney's striking architecture.B. The cultural diversity of Sydney.C. The key to Sydney's development.D. Sydney's tourist attractions in the 1960s.9. What can we learn about Andrew Reynolds?A.He goes to work by boat.B.He looks forward to a new life.C.He pilots catamarans well.D.He is attached to the old ferries.10. What does Shirley Fitzgerald think of Sydney?A.It is losing its traditions.B.It should speed up its progress.C.It should expand its population.D.It is becoming more international.11. Which statement will the author probably agree with?A. A city can be young and old at the same time.B A city built on ancient cultures is more dynamic.C. Modernity is usually achieved at the cost of elegance.D. Compromise should be made between the local and the foreign.DStudents and Technology in the ClassroomI love my blackberry （黑莓手机）一 it's my little connection to the larger world that can go anywhere with me. I also love my laptop computer, as it holds all of my writing and thoughts. Despite this love of technology, I know that there are times when I need to move away from these devices （设备）and truly communicate with others.On one occasion, I teach a course called History Matters for a group of higher education managers. My goals for the class include a full discussion of historical themes and ideas. Because I want students to thoroughly study the material and exchange their ideas with each other in the classroom, I have a rule-no laptops, IPads, phones, etc. When students were told my rule in advance of the class, some of them were not happy.Most students think that my reasons for this rule include unpleasant experiences in the past with students misusing technology. There's a bit of truth to that. Some students think that I am anti-technology. There's no truth in that at all. I love technology and try to keep up with it so I can relate to my students.The real reason why I ask students to leave technology at the door is that I think there are very few places in which we can have deep conversations and engage complex ideas. Interruptions by technology often break concentration （专心）and allow for too much dependence on outside information for ideas. I want students to dig deep within themselves for inspiration and ideas. I want them to push each other to think differently and make connections between the course material and the class discussion.I've been teaching my history class in this way for many years and the evaluations reflect student satisfaction with the environment that I create. Students realize that with deep conversation and challenge, they learn at a level that helps them keep the course material beyond the classroom.I'm not saying that I won't ever change my mind about technology use in my history class, but until I hear a rally good reason for the change, I'm sticking to my plan. A few hours of technology-free dialogue is just too sweet to give up.12. Some of the students in the history class were unhappy with.A. the course materialB. others9 misuse of technologyC. discussion topicsD. the author class rules13. . The underlined word “engage” in para.4 probably means.A. exploreB. acceptC. changeD. refuse14. According to the author, the use of technology in the classroom may.A. keep students from doing independent thinkingB encourage students to have deep conversationsC. help students to better understand difficult themesD. affect students5 concentration on the teacher's ideas15. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that the author.A. is quite stubborn in teachingB. will give up teaching historyC. will change his teaching plan soonD. values technology-free dialogues in his class第二节（共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）根据下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。If you live in a place where most people speak the language you are learning, you may use the language fbr several hours each day. But you may not have these chances to practice English. You may even be self-taught. 16 It is not very difficult, but it does take effort and practice.Think in single words.17 In your head, try to name each object in your surroundings. As you continue with this, it becomes more of a habit, so things are going to pop up into your head - computer, telephone, chair, and desk. Whatever it is, wherever you are. You can also do this at home when you wake up and before you go to sleep.Another exercise is describing in your mind objects you don't know the words for. An example would be if you couldn*t think of the word “garage J Hinshaw says. "If you're looking at your house and you see your garage, but you cant think of the name in English. You can say, 'The place inside where I put my car.”Think in sentences.The next exercise is thinking in simple sentences. For example, if you are sitting in a park, you can tell yourself things like, “If s such a beautiful day" and "People are playing sports with their friends?" 19Describe your day.Another exercise experts suggest is to describe your daily activities. You can mentally makeplans in the morning when you wake up. 20 So the skill level is a little higher. A. Describe unknown words.B Guess the meaning of a new word.C. This would require future verb tenses.D. A good first st
