Chimps use loud calls and gestures to make their feelings known but until now, the exact meaning for individual movements has remained a mystery. Now researchers believe they have translated the key gestures used in the chimp community and identified their intentions for the first time.
From 4,351 gestures, experts were able to identify 66 that are used for 19 specific message meanings, including showing a foot to tell a child they can climb on their back. The researchers were able to narrow down these 66 gestures to 36 that are used intentionally to achieve 15 purposes. The translations were made by Dr Catherine Hobaiter and her colleagues at St Andrews University in Scotland.
Dr Hobaiter used behavior sampling and filmed all recorded cases of gestural communication. Other gestures include stomping their feet to ask another chimp to stop what they are doing, and slapping objects together to ask another to follow them. Of the 19 meanings,17 encouraged interactions to start, or to develop, such as “move closer,” and “change play”. Some of the gestures were found to have more than one meaning. and only 10 of the 66 gestures were used for only a single meaning.
Researchers collected a total of 471 video clips from two social groups of chimps at a shelter near Kinshasa,
Democratic Republic of Congo. As well as identifying what the gesture means, they also discovered the technique needed to increase the chances of success.
“Human children use gestures to communicate before they produce their first words, and their earliest gestures typically appear around 10 months of age,” explained the researchers. “In great apes, there is good evidence that language-trained individuals are capable of acquiring and understanding signals, but this is far less clear in their natural communication. ”
4. Chimps slap the objects to____________.
A. tell others to stop what they are doing
B. ask others chimps to join them
C. gather other chimps to move closer
D. encourage interactions to start
5. What did researchers find after studying 471 video clips?
A. Chimps trained in language are good at understanding signals.
B. Two social groups of chimps live at a shelter near Kinshasa.
C. Language-trained individuals do well in natural communication.
D. Chimps’earliest gestures appear around 10 months of age.
6. How is the last paragraph developed?
A. By analyzing causes.
B. By examining differences.
C By making comparisons. D. By following time order.
7. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A A New Research on Chimps B. Human Children and Chimps
C. Getting the Chimps Trained for Language
D. Translating the Sign Language of Chimps
C
I was at my parent’s dinner table. Before me was a worn journal of thin and discolor1 ed pages. It was my grandfather’s journal and now belonged to my father. My grandfather had passed away in the months leading up to my birth. I never got to visit the places he had frequented and the people who had been a part of his life’s journey.
I was now about to enter his world, through the words he had left behind. Within minutes, I wascaptivatedby the power of the written words. In the magical script (笔迹) before me, I was transported to another age when food was an everyday art, planned, prepared and enjoyed in the company of others, and a time when people had the heart to pause their own lives to embrace (拥抱) each other’s struggles. All this was conveyed to me in the beauty of the words that flowed together to connect with the writer’s mind and understand the world they lived
in.
That kind of writing seems to be lost on us today. We have gotten used to writing in bite-sized pieces for a public looking for entertainment, and hungry for information. No wonder, there are nearly 200 million bloggers on the Internet and a new blog is created somewhere in the world every half a second. Instead of adding to our collective wisdom, most of these writings reflectthe superficiality (肤浅) and impatience of our day and age.
This not only robs us of the skill of writing impressive essays, it also prevents us from exploring what is indeed important. Writing humbles (使谦卑) us in a way that is vital for our character growth, by reminding us about the limits of the self and our appropriate place in the vast flow of life. Writing frees us by helping us explore the unknown so that we really open up to magic of the world around us. I saw all of this in the writing of my grandfather. And I’ve seen it again and again in the writings of the greatest thinkers of humanity. Their writing reflect deep thought on issues of human importance.
8. The underlined word “captivated” in the second paragraph can be replaced by “________”.
A. puzzled
B. frightened
C. attracted
D. defeated
9. In the author’s grandfather’s age, people ________.
A. lived a hard life
B. cared about each other
C. were fond of writing
D. treated food as an art
10. The author begins the text with her grandfather’s journal in order to ________.
A. show her respect to her grandfather
B. present the importance of good writing
C. express her interest in reading as well as writing
D. raise the problems with today’s writing
11. In the last paragraph, the author is trying to _________.
A. discuss what good writing is like
B. express her strong desire to learn writing skills
C. stress the effects of her grandfather’s journal on her
D. show her admiration for her grandfather’s writing
D
If you have ever tried to catch a resting butterfly, you know it is surprisingly difficult. A new study helps explain why.
Previous research had suggested that a butterfly's overhead wing clap forces the insect forward. Researchers thought the wing clap likely formed a pocket of air that shoots out like a jet, but no one had tested that until now.
To understand their flight, they placed six butterflies one at a time inside a wind tunnel which was filled with smoke and then used a laser to light up the smoke just behind the butterfly. Four high-speed cameras were placed in the tunnel to take photos of the movement of the butterfly and the-smoke as the butterfly was taking off. This let the researchers create a 3D picture of that air movement as the insect flapped its wings.
They observed a total of 25 takeoffs by six butterflies. Each included up to three wing beats after takeoff.The butterflies proved more likely to clap their wings together during the first few wing beats than later in flight.
The photos show that forces created by the wings give rise to a flight path. The butterflies rise as their wings move down and shoot forward as their wings move up. A wing clap on takeoff, paired with a quick tum, allowed the butterflies to fly away quickly. They also noticed the wings formed an air pocket just before clapping and that the wings' flexibility and this pocket improved the jet force created by the clap.
“The study is exciting,” says Ayodeji Bode-Oke, a mechanical engineer in Charlottesville. That means “we have solved the longtime puzzle about how butterflies fly, and it proves nothing is impossible on the road of scientific research. I can't wait to learn about how the study might inform designs for small aerial vehicles.”
12. Why was laser used in the experiment?
A. To frighten the butterflies into lying.
B. To help researchers observe the butterflies.
C. To help take clear photos of air movement.
D. To guide the butterflies through the smoke.
13. What is the finding of the research-according to paragraph 5?
A. Butterflies fly forward as wings move down.
B. An air pocket forms after butterflies clap wings.
C. Butterflies beat wings three times before taking off.
D. Upward wing movements help butterflies fly forward.
14. According to the writer, the finding of the research can be used for .
A. helping catch a resting butterfly more easily
B. helping do research on other butterfly-like insects
C. helping provide inspiration for making small flying vehicles
D. helping widen the applications of small flying vehicle
15. What can be the best title for the text?
A. Why Can Butterflies Fly Like a Jet?
B. How Can Butterflies Make Wing Claps?
C. How Can Butterflies Make Quick Tums?
D. Why Can Butterflies Run Away Quickly?

52.阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

Amanda was disheartened when she looked across the table at her three-year-old sister. Li sat on a seat, drinking from her sippy cup. Wondering why Li was still afraid of her, Amanda took a cookie off her plate and held it out to Li, “Want a bite?”
As soon as Li saw Amanda reaching over, her eyes widened. She jumped down from her seat and raced to her room. What an annoyance! Amanda complained to Mom that she had thought being a big sister would be fun. Mom took Amanda’s hand reminding her that Li was in a new country with a new family and how scared she might be.
“Honey, she is still getting used to you,” Mom added. “It’s only been two weeks.”
Over a year ago, Amanda’s parents said that they were adopting a daughter from China, and Amanda had danced with excitement. She’d dreamed of taking her sister to the park, reading books to her, and teaching her to ride a bicycle. That hadn’t happened, though. In the weeks since their trip to China, Li had only let their mom and dad near her. Amanda had drawn pictures for her, read to her, and made funny faces, but none had worked. Whenever she got close, Li ran away.
“I just wish I knew how to help her,” Amanda said to herself, thinking of Li’s frightened eyes. As she sat onto the couch, she turned on the TV and began to watch a cartoon about a dog and a cat. After a few seconds, Amanda realized that the cartoon was in another language. The show looked funny, but she didn’t understand any of it. Sighing deeply, she remembered the days when they were in China. She had got frustrated when people
talked in Mandarin, the language spoken in Li’s province.
注意：
1.续写的词数应为150左右；
2.续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。

Paragraph 1:
“That’s it.” Amanda sped to Li’s room.

Mom came to the door and found them sitting side by side.
