21、Here are some of the smartest animals in the world.

Pigs

Pigs are actually very smart animals. Pigs are one of the cleanest if they are given a choice. If you provide them with enough space, they will make sure they separate their dining area from their living space. Studies have also shown that they can actually be good at video games. To get food, they will follow other pigs and then steal it from right under their noses. The victimized(受害的)pigs will then come out wiser from this. They will change their behavior next time to prevent other pigs from stealing from them.

Crows

They are smart and creative, with the highest IQ among all birds. Crows have been known to throw nuts and shells on a road so that cars will drive over and open them. They also have the ability to make knives to cut leaves and grass.

Elephants

They have extremely large brains, even bigger than humans’. They bury(埋葬) their dead families and friends properly, the only other animal to do this besides humans. They also know which leaves are medicinal and will eat specific plants depending on the sickness they are feeling. They also have the ability to recognize themselves in the mirror.

Bottlenose Dolphins

They actually have the ability to watch television on the their own because of their ability to process acoustic and visual(视觉和听觉)information at the same time. They can also recognize themselves in the mirror, which they use to inspect their own bodies. Their comprehension skills are very high. Studies have shown that they even have the ability to choose the “I don’t know” option during difficult tests.

【1】What will pigs do if their food is stolen?

A. They will fight with other pigs.

B. They will steal it back.

C. They will hide their food somewhere.

22、The Brown Bear

My wife Laura and I were on the beach, with three of our children, taking pictures of shore birds near our home in Alaska when we spotted a bear. The bear was thin and small, moving aimlessly.

Just a few minutes later, I heard my daughter shouting, "Dad! The bear is right behind us!" An aggressive bear will usually rush forward to frighten away its enemy but would suddenly stop at the last minute. This one was silent and its ears pinned back — the sign (迹象) of an animal that is going in for the kill. And it was a cold April day. The bear behaved abnormally, probably because of hunger.

I held my camera tripod (三脚架) in both hands to form a barrier as the bear rushed into me. Its huge head was level with my chest and shoulders, and the tripod stuck across its mouth. It bit down and I found myself supporting its weight. I knew I would not be able to hold it for long.

Even so, this was a fight I had to win: I was all that stood between the bear and my family, who would stand little chance of running faster than a brown bear.

The bear hit at the camera, cutting it off the tripod. I raised my left arm to protect my face; the beast held tightly on the tripod and pressed it into my side. My arm could not move, and I sensed that my bones were going to break.

Drawing back my free hand, I struck the bear as hard as I could for five or six times. The bear opened its mouth and I grasped its fur, trying to push it away. I was actually wrestling (扭 打) with the bear at this point. Then, as suddenly as it had begun, the fight ended. The bear moved back towards the forest, before returning for another attack — the first time I felt panic.

Apparently satisfied that we caused no further threat, the bear moved off, destroying a fence as it went. My arm was injured, but the outcome for us could hardly have been better. I'm proud that my family remained clear-headed when panic could have led to a very different outcome.

【1】The brown bear approached the family in order to       _______.

A．catch shore birds

B．start an attack

C．protect the children

D．set up a barrier for itself

【2】The bear finally went away after it       _______.

A．felt safe

B．got injured

C．found some food

D．took away the camera

【3】The writer and his family survived mainly due to their_______       .

A．pride

B．patience

C．calmness

D．cautiousness

23、Making predictions gets in the way of the brain's ability to remember the present moment, new research suggests. The hippocampus, a brain structure usually associated with remembering events, also uses experiences to make forecasts (neuroscientists call this “statistical learning”). But scientists writing in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences USA have now demonstrated that the latter function can influence the former.

Researchers showed participants a series of photographs on a screen without telling them that some image categories always followed others: mountains always came immediately after beaches, for example. They were intended to subconsciously learn these associations and begin to expect these pairings. Later, the participants were shown the same photos again, mixed in with new examples, and were asked if they had spotted any of them before. They accurately recalled seeing random images at a much better rate than the predictive ones (like the beach pictures).

The scientists repeated this process while scanning participants' brains with fMRI (功能性核磁共振). Each image category caused a distinct neural (神经的) activity pattern, and the patterns for predictable categories were seen in the hippocampus when the corresponding predictive category was displayed. Moreover, this effect's strength in fMRI corresponded inversely with participants' memory task scores. “The more evidence for prediction we saw, the worse their memory was for those predictive items,” such as a particular beach scene, says study lead author and Yale University cognitive (认知) neuroscientist Brynn Sherman. This suggests that predictive images caused the hippocampus to shift toward prediction—and away from encoding (编码) a new memory.

The study is among the first to demonstrate how making predictions affects human memory. Scientists previously suspected that the hippocampus had a role in statistical learning but did not know how it interacts with memory formation. “This paper is a really nice demonstration of the balance where the hippocampus is doing both these things,” says University of Virginia cognitive neuroscientist Nicole Long.

The team says this compromise occurs because remembering and predicting both use some of the same biological pathways. In the paper, the authors compare it with using one's right foot to operate both the brake (刹车) and gas pedals (油门) in a car…but not both at the same time. “This system could prevent memory redundancies (冗余) and thus conserve brainpower,” Sherman says.

“We still need further research,” Long says. “For instance, how much repetition is needed before the hippocampus shifts from recording to predicting and whether it is possible to train the structure to improve both modes at the same time.”

【1】We can learn from the passage that ______.

A．predictive images stimulated memory formation

B．the hippocampus has nothing to do with predicting

C．researchers revealed how to balance predicting and remembering

D．the participants remembered random images more quickly and accurately

【2】What does the underlined word “inversely” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?

A．In an opposite way.

B．Exactly.

C．In the same direction.

D．Closely.

【3】Why does the author mention the brake and gas pedals?

A．To present an accurate picture of how to drive a car.

B．To illustrate that predicting interacts with remembering.

C．To stress the difficulties of operating them at the same time.

D．To show the importance of using the same biological pathways.

【4】Which would be the best title for this passage?

A．The Role of the Hippocampus within Memory

B．Predicting a Situation Benefits Memory Formation

C．Forecast or Remember: The Brain Must Choose One

D．Forecast and Remember: The Brain Can Do Both at the Same Time

24、The Tropical Paradise Holiday

Welcome to St. Anna, our tropical paradise just off the coast of Latin America. You can spend two weeks in our luxury four-star hotel.
