Your answer may be dogs, monkeys or elephants. Now one more animal can be added to the list: sheep.Scientists said that sheep could be trained to identify（识别）familiar（熟悉的）human faces, the BBC reported.Before testing, scientists let the sheep take a look at pictures of four famous people, includingformer（先前的）US Preesident Barack Obama and British actress Emma Watson. Then the sheep went into a room with two computer screens and the second screen showed a random（随机的）person. The sheep usually walked toward the screen with the famous person.After discovering the animals' ability to recognize famous people, scientists gave them a new task. They wanted to see whether the farm animals could correctly identify the same people from different directions. The animals were still able to recognize them, though they were a bit slower to recognize the pictures than before.Finally, the researchers wanted to know if the sheep could recognize their trainers from a photo. Photos of their trainers were shown on screens with some unfamiliar faces. They weren't given any training, but the sheep could recognize their trainers.The results show that the animals' face-recognition abilities are similar to those of monkeys and humans.The researchers said it might be interesting in the future to find out whether sheep can recognize expressions on people's faces.（1）In the passage, scientists discover sheep are as ______ as dogs and elephants.A.quietB.smartC.kindD.cute（2）Before the test, the sheep ______.A.recognized their trainersB.came into a room with a computer screenC.watched a random personD.looked at the pictures of four famous people（3）The test result shows the sheep's face-recognition ability are ______ humans'.A.better thanB.weaker thanC.similar toD.the same as（4）From the passage, we can infer（推断）that ______.A.Obama is the former US presidentB.sheep only recognize famous peopleC.scientists tested sheep for their abilitiesD.sheep might recognize "smile" in the future（5）We can probably find this passage in a ______.A.travel guideB.novelC.newspaperD.story book2.I am Alice.

新疆石河子第一中学2024-2025学年高一上学期9月月考英语试题一、阅读理解Paris is one of the most-visited destinations in the world. A relaxing trip to Paris takes a little bit of planning. Here are some tips for you to make your trip smooth.Planning your tripHave a passport for international travel. A passport costs $110 and takes 6-8weeks to arrive after you apply.Booking FlightsThe cheapest month to fly is March, especially if you can leave on a Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday. You’ll save even more money by booking around 90 days in advance. In the summer months, tickets will be more expensive no matter when you book.Enjoying Your Time●Visit the Eiffel TowerThe Eiffel Tower is the most recognizable symbol of Paris. To avoid the crowds, go to the Eiffel Tower early in the morning. It costs €25 to go to the top, or €10 to climb to the first 2 levels on foot.● See the Notre Dame CathedralAt present, the Notre Dame Cathedral is closed to tourists due to the fire that destroyed parts of the cathedral. However, you can still visit the outside of the cathedral.● Go to the Louvre to see world-famous artThe Louvre hosts the Mona Lisa along with 35, 000 other pieces of art. If you’re pressed for time, visit the highlights. The Louvre costs €15 at the museum or €17 in advance (to skip most of the line).● Take a day trip to VersaillesIf you have a day to spare, head to the palace of Versailles, around 14 miles southwest of the city. Take a tour to see King Louis XVI’s palace and gardens. It costs €20 to visit the palace and grounds.1．When can we book plane tickets to save the most money?A．In March.B．In June.C．In August.D．In December.2．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A．You can climb to the top of the Eiffel Tower free of charge.B．Visitors can pay an extra to save the queue time in visiting the Louvre.C．The Notre Dame Cathedral was completely destroyed in a fire.D．Visiting the palace of Versailles is the most expensive among the four attractions. 3．Where is the text probably taken from?A．A travel brochure B．A course plan.C．A research paper.D．An encyclopedia.When I learned that my 71-year-old mother was playing Scrabble—a word game—against herself, I knew I had to do something. My husband suggested we give her a computer to play against.I wasn’t sure my mother was ready for it. After all, it had taken 15 years to persuade her to buy an electric cooker. Even so, we packed up our old computer and delivered it to my parents’ home. And so began my mother’s adventure in the world of computers.It also marked the beginning of an unusual teaching task for me. I’d taught people of all ages, but I never thought I would be teaching my mother how to do anything. She had been the one teaching me all my life: to cook and sew, to enjoy the good times and put up with the bad. Now it was my turn to give something back.It wasn’t easy at the beginning. There was so much to explain and to introduce. Slowly but surely, my mother caught on, making notes in a little notebook. After a few months of Scrabble and other games, I decided it was time to introduce her to word processing. This proved to be a bigger challenge to her, so I gave her some homework. I asked her to write me a letter, using different letter types, colors and spaces.“Are you this demanding with your kindergarten pupils?” she asked.“No, of course not,” I said. “They already know how to use a computer.”My mother isn’t the only one experiencing a fast personal growth period. Thanks to the computer, my father has finally got over his phone allergy. For as long as I can remember, any time I called, my mother would answer. Dad and I have had more phone conversations in the last two months than we’ve had in the past 20 years.4．Why did the author decide to give her mother a computer?A．To help her through the bad times.B．To make her life more enjoyable.C．To support her in doing her homework.D．To let her have more chances to write letters.5．What does the author do according to the text?A．She is a teacher.B．She is a cook.C．She is a housewife.D．She is a computer engineer.6．Why did the author ask her mother to write her a letter?A．To keep in touch with her mother.B．To free her mother from heavy housework.C．To practice what her mother had learned.D．To prevent her mother from using the telephone.7．What happened to the author’s father after the computer was brought home?A．He played even more games.B．He became skilled at it.C．He lost interest in cooking.D．He took more phone calls.According to new research from the University of Cambridge in England, sheep are able to recognize human faces from photographs.The farm animals, which are social and have large brains, were previously known to be able to recognize one another, as well as familiar humans. However, their ability to recognize human faces from photos alone is novel (新奇的).The recent study, the results of which were published in the journal Royal Society: Open Science, shows the woolly creatures could be trained to recognize still images of human faces, including those of former President Barack Obama and actress Emma Watson.First, the sheep were trained to get close to certain images by being given food rewards. Later, they were able to recognize the images for which they had been rewarded. The sheep could even recognize images of faces shown at an angle.“Anyone who has spent time working with sheep will know that they are smart, individual animals who are able to recognize their handlers,” said Professor Jenny Morton, who led theCambridge study. “We’ve shown with our study that sheep have advanced face-recognition abilities, comparable with those of humans and monkeys.”Recognizing faces is one of the most important social skills for human beings, and some disorders of the brain, including Huntington’s disease, have a bad effect on this ability.“Sheep are long-lived and have brains that are similar in size and complexity to those of some monkeys. That means they can be useful models to help us understand disorders of the brain, such as Huntington's disease, which develop over a long time and influence cognitive (认知的) abilities. Our study gives us another way to study how these abilities change.” Morton said. 8．According to the new research, what’s unusual about sheep?A．They have large brains.B．They can recognize their owners.C．They can recognize human faces from photographs.D．They know the differences between animals and humans.9．How did the researchers train the sheep?A．By giving food rewards.B．By showing photos of famous people.C．By guiding them to follow their handlers.D．By showing photos of humans and monkeys by turns.10．What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs?A．Sheep are more clever than monkeys.B．The new discovery is helpful to study cognitive ability changes.C．The sheep’s face-recognition ability may prevent brain disorders.D．The face-recognition ability is the most important skill for sheep.11．What’s the main idea of the passage?A．It discusses the life of sheep.B．It’s about a wonderful scientist.C．It tells us a new discovery about sheep.D．It shows how sheep recognize human faces.E-wasteThe Republic of Korea is dealing with increasing totals of waste from electronic products -“e-waste”.Now, some local governments in the Republic of Korea are starting special e-waste recycling programs. The city of Seoul throws out about 10 tons of e-waste each year. About 20 percent of that goes to the Seoul Resource (资源) Center, also known as the SR Center. There, electronic products are taken apart so that valuable metals like gold or copper can be extracted (提取) and reused. Korean officials say it is a $3.8 billion-dollar industry.Ji Un-geun is the CEO of the SR Center. He says reusing electronic parts is not only about making money and the final goal of this program is to protect the environment. He says, “our planet has a limited total of natural resources. Our company contributes to an eco-friendly society by saving these materials.”The Seoul city government partnered with the SR Center to collect e-waste. Lee Tae-hong lives in the city of Seoul. He says reusing electronic parts is also about protecting personal information from attack. He says, “If electronic products like phones are not taken apart and reused, then they could illegally end up in other countries, and personal information could be stolen.”Koreans keep buying more and more electronic products. And in general, every Korean buys a new mobile phone every 18 months. Lee Joo-hong is with Green Consumers (消费者) Net-work. He says, “People change their phones so quickly partially because companies offer special deals to buy new products. And Korean consumers do not want to feel left out by not having the latest model.”Ji Un-geun says that consumer behavior is a big reason why old phones continue to appear at the recycling center. But he says he is doing his part to reduce that. He says, “I have had this same phone for 10 years. It is what I can do to help protect our natural resources.”12．We can learn that the final aim of the SR Center’s program is to ________.A．extract valuable metals from e-wasteB．make more money from reusing metalsC．recycle natural resources at a lower priceD．protect the environment from being polluted13．According to Lee Joo-hong, Koreans like to buy new phones to ________.A．experience a green life B．keep up with the latest fashionC．show off their wealth to neighbors D．get more money from the companies14．Ji Un-geun has used the same phone for ten years because ________.A．he can’t afford to buy a new one B．he has a habit of using old thingsC．he tries to help save natural resources D．he stores all his information in the phone 15．What is the main idea of the passage?A．Koreans collect metals from e-waste.B．Koreans attempt to reuse more e-waste.C．Koreans change their phones many times.D．Koreans waste too many electronic products.Maybe you are an average boy or girl. You probably think you will never be a top student. This is not necessarily so, however. Anyone can become a better student if he or she wants to. Here’s how:16 . When planning your work, you should make a list of things that you have to do. After making this list, you should make a schedule of your time. First set your time for eating, sleeping, dressing, etc. Then decide a good, regular time for studying. Don’t forget to set aside enough time for entertainment. A weekly schedule may not solve all your problems, but it will force you to realize what is happening to your time.Find a good place to study. 17 .

（共10小题，每小题2.5分，满分25分）AWhat's on Your Pet's Mind?In 1977, Irene Pepperberg of Harvard University began studying what was on another creature's mind by talking to it. Her first experiments began with Alex. Alex was a one-year-old African grey parrot and Irene taught him to produce the sounds of the English language. "I thought if he learned to communicate, I could ask him questions about how he sees the world."At the time, most scientists didn't believe animals had any thoughts. They thought animals were more like robots but didn't have the ability to think or feel. Of course, if you own a pet you probably disagree. But it is the job of a scientist to prove this and nowadays more scientists accept that animals can think for themselves."That's why I started my studies with Alex," Irene said, "Some people actually called me crazy for trying this."Nowadays, we have more and more evidence that animals have all sorts of mental abilities. Sheep can recognize faces. Chimpanzees（黑猩猩）use a variety of tools and even use weapons to hunt. And Alex the parrot became a very good talker.Thirty years after the Alex studies began, Irene was still giving him English lessons up until his recent death. For example, if Alex was hungry he could say "want grape". Alex could count to six and was learning the sounds for seven and eight. "He has to hear the words over and over before he can correctly say them." Irene said, after pronouncing "seven" for Alex a few times in a row. Alex could also tell the difference between colors, shapes, sizes, and materials (e.g. wood and metal). Before he finally died, Alex managed to say "seven".Another famous pet that proved some animals have greater mental skills was a dog called Rico. He appeared on a German TV game show in 2011. Rico knew the names of 200 different toys and easily learned the names of new ones. When Rico became famous, many other dog owners wanted to show how clever their pets were. Another dog called Betsy could understand 300 words.One theory for dogs' ability to learn a language is that they have been close companions to humans for many centuries and so their ability to understand us is constantly evolving. While animals can't do what humans do yet, some scientists believe that examples like Alex and Rico prove that evolution develops intelligence, as well as physical appearance.1．Irene wanted to find out ．A．what a parrot thinks B．why a parrot can speakC．how parrots make sounds D．if parrots speak English2．Alex learnt new words by .A．singing them B．reading them C．writing them D．rehearing them 3．The article concludes that ．A．our pets understand what we sayB．dogs may speak to humans one dayC．humans are related to chimpanzeesD．mental ability can evolve in animalsBIt's amazing how we grow from careless kids to responsible teens. What happens in the course that makes us responsible now? It's the seed that we sow in the beginning which grows and becomes a huge tree. As I sit here, silently thinking about my growth, I wonder over some questions which don't have an answer but it's because of such unanswerable situations that life has become a roller coaster ride.As a kid, I used to read a lot of story books. In one particular book, I read a story of a bird. From then on, that has become an integral (必不可少的) part of my life. It described a male bird which takes a lot of pain to build a nest and the female bird takes shelter in it and nourishes the baby. When the bird learns to fly, the whole family flies off to a different place leaving behind the beautiful nest for other birds to grow their family in it. It made me wonder. How could they so easily sacrifice their house built with so much effort?One night, when I was deep in sleep, I got this particular dream. I was walking miles on the endless road, totally isolated but lined with beautiful trees on the either side. Fascinated by the greenery, I marched towards it only to end up deeper and deeper into the greenery. I happened to stop upon seeing something. It was a massive, wonderful house. I fell in love with that amazing part of art. Yeah, it was indeed a piece of art with every nook and corner touched artistically and lovingly. I don't know why I felt that it was done lovingly. Maybe because, things turn out to be beautiful only when we put our love into it — just like the food prepared by mom which tastes more delicious with her love.I explored the house only to fall more in love with it. There was a sloping roof which matched with the greenery around；the large central open courtyard reminded me of the activities that might have taken place there which felt lively even now when it is completely deserted. The small water body that kept the house cool added to the beauty of the house — of course, it was all dried up now. It's really wonderful how such things add life to the spaces which otherwise just become structures. Such liveliness and happening turns the house into a home. They say 'THE HOME IS WHERE THE HEART IS', but now I began to feet it. This is where my heart belongs. This is what I'm destined to do.When I woke up from the dream, I was clear about everything. I realized where that mile of walk was intending me to lead. I realized what message my dream wanted to convey me. And years later, when finally my turn of choosing my destination came, I simply closed my eyes, held that book in my hand, pressed it against my chest and relived the dream. When I opened my eyes, I was sure what to do. I decided to choose the road — less traveled. Yes, I took up architecture as my profession because this is what I am destined to do. I wanted to do the same thing that the male bird in the story did, to take pain in building a beautiful house and let others stay in it. This is my dream come true and the happiness that I gain now from this profession is indescribable. 4．When the writer read the story of the bird, he probably felt .A．upset B．confused C．amazed D．amused5．To the writer, "the seed that we sow in the beginning" (Paragraph 1) is .A．the house in his dream B．his mother's foodC．the story of the bird D．his story books6．The above passage is mainly about .A．how the writer finally becomes an honest citizenB．where the true meaning of responsibility liesC．what we need to do when we are seeking fortuneD．why the writer takes up architecture as his careerCYou may have heard of the man who decided to repair the roof of his house. To be safe, he tied a rope around his waist and threw the other end of it over the top of the house. He asked his son to tie it to something secure. The boy fastened the safety rope to the bumper of their car parked in the driveway. It seemed like a good idea at the time. But a little while later, his wife, unaware of the rope securing her husband, she started the car and drove away. Imagine what the result would be.This story, factual or not, points to a great truth. It is a truth about where we place our security; about those things to which we've tied our safety lines. What is your rope tied to? Think about it. What do you depend on to keep you from disaster? Is your rope tied to a good job? Is it tied to a relationship with somebody you rely on? Is it tied to a company or an organization?Writer Susan Taylor tells of discovering how unreliable some of our safety lines really are. She tells of lying in bed in the early hours of the morning when an earthquake struck. As her house shook, she fell out of bed and managed to go to the doorway, watching in horror as her whole house cracked down around her. Where her bed had once stood, she later discovered nothing but a pile of bricks. She lost everything —every button, every dish, her automobile, every article of clothing. Susan trembled, scared and crying, in the darkness. In the early morning she cried and called out for help.Thoroughly exhausted, she thought that maybe she should be listening for rescuers instead of crying. So she grew still and listened. In the silence around her, the only sound she heard was the beating of her own heart. It occurred to her then that at least she was still alive and, amazingly enough, unhurt.She thought about her situation. In the stillness, fear abandoned her and a feeling of indescribable peace and happiness flooded in, the likes of which she had never before known. It was an experience that was to change her life forever.In the deepest part of her being, Susan realized a remarkable truth. She realized she had nothing to fear. Amazingly, whether or not she was ever rescued, whether she ever made it out alive, she sensed she had nothing to fear.For the first time in her life she understood that her true security did not depend on those things in which she had placed her trust. It lay deep within. And also for the first time, she knew what it was to be content in all circumstances. She realized that whether she had plenty or hardly enough, somehow she would be all right. She just knew it. She later wrote, "Before the quake I appeared very successful, but my life was out of balance. I wasn't happy because I had been making money and always wanting more. My home, my job, my clothes, a relationship —I thought they were my security. It took an earthquake and losing everything I owned for me to discover that my security had been with me all along...There's a power within us that we can depend upon no matter what is happening around us."She had tied her rope to the wrong things. It took a disaster for her to understand that those things are not trustworthy. So she let go of the rope and discovered peace. She found that her true security was a power within-dependable and sure.What is your rope tied to? And what would happen if you found the courage to let go of it? 7．Why was Susan crying in the darkness?A．Because she was afraid of staying in the dark.B．Because she wanted to be heard by the rescuers.C．Because she was frightened and felt helpless.D．Because she had tied her rope to the wrong thing.8．What did Susan feel after she thought about her situation?A．She felt very peaceful. B．She felt she was still alive.C．She felt completely hopeless. D．She wanted to change her life forever.9．How did Susan like interpersonal relationship and income before the earthquake?A．They were alternative. B．They were unnecessary.C．They were very important. D．They were among some choices.10．Which of the following should be the best title?A．What to Depend on. B．A Rope Tied to a Car.C．Please Let Go of Your Trust. D．An Experience from an Earthquake.二、英语知识运用(共两节，满分55分)1．完形填空(共20小题; 每小题2分，满分30分)阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A，B，C，D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

It's driven by something called similarity search. 现在科技公司的目标：在开口询问之前，弄清楚你，公司的客户需要什么。而这是由类似性 检索所驱动。 "If you go to YouTube and you watch a video they're going to suggest similar videos to the one you're watching. That's similarity search. If you go to Amazon and look for similar products to the one you're going to buy, that's similarity search."

Will and I didn’t have much money, of course, and we had to work very hard. A new actor only got six shillings (先令，一种货币单位) a week, and there wasn’t work every week. I decided not to be an actor.“Why not?” said Will. “It’s a great life.”We were working that month at the theatre. Will was acting four small parts in two different plays. He played a soldier and a murderer in one play, and in the other play he was a thief, and also an Italian lord. And he loved it.“I’m not clever like you,” I said. “I can’t remember all those words. I forget who I am! I say the soldier’s words, when I’m an Italian lord. I come on stage too late, or too soon...”Will laughed. “What are you going to do, then?”“Costumes (服装),” I said. “And properties. I had a talk with John, and he said they need a new man to help with all the clothes and the other things.”“Yes,” Will said slowly. “You’ll be good at that. Now, I’ve got a fight on stage tomorrow, and I have to die with lots of blood. How are you going to get me some blood?”“I’ve already got it!” I smiled kindly at him. “Sheep’s blood. I got it down at Smithfield market this morning. I’m keeping it warm or you!”Will was good at acting. Not the best, but good. An actor had to do everything. He had to learn his words for six different plays at the same time. He had to dance, and sing, and play music.He had to jump, and fall, and fight. And the fights had to look real.I had a lot to learn, too. I learnt how to make shoes out of brown paper. How to clean the actors’ hats with a bit of bread. Then they looked like new again. I ran all over London to buy the best hair for the wigs (假发).5．Why did the author decide not to be an actor?A．There was so much work every week that a new actor got too tired every day.B．He thought actors are not liked by others.C．He found it difficult to remember lines and felt he was not clever enough for acting. 6．How did the author get some blood for Will?A．He bought some pig’s blood at Queen field market in the morning.B．He got some sheep’s blood at Smithfield market in the morning.C．He used red paint to make blood.7．Which of the following is TUREA．Will was the best actor at that time and he loved it.B．Will always played the same parts in plays.C．The author had a lot to learn in preparing costumes and properties.8．What is the meaning of the underlined word “properties” in the passage?A．道具B．房地产C．特性Most of us think elephants and dogs are very smart animals in the world. Now there is one more animal that can be added to the list—sheep. Scientists say that sheep can be trained to recognize (识别) human faces.Before testing, scientists guide the sheep to look at pictures of the four famous people. The sheep went into a farm with two computer screens. Each screen showed a human face. One screen showed a famous person and the other showed a random (随机的) person. The sheep could walk towards the screen with the famous face.After discovering sheep’s ability to recognize famous people, scientists wanted to see whether they could correctly recognize the same people from different ways. The sheep are still able to recognize them, though they were a bit slower to recognize the pictures than before.Finally, the researchers wondered if the sheep could recognize their trainers from photos.Their trainers were shown on screens along with many strange faces. Then, the sheep found them successfully. The results show the face-recognition abilities of sheep are similar to those of monkeys,elephants and humans.Face recognition is a difficult process for most animals. But sheep have big brains. When they see other sheep, they use this process to recognize one another.9．What did the sheep do before the test on a farm?A．They lived with the famous people on the farm.B．They looked at the pictures of four famous people.C．They were trained to look at some random people’s faces on computer.10．Which question is answered?A．Who are the four famous people in the research?B．How long does the sheep look at the famous people’s faces?C．Whether could the sheep correctly recognize the same people from other ways? 11．How many tests on the sheep are mentioned in the passage?A．Two.B．Three.C．Four.12．What can we learn from the passage?A．The sheep failed to recognize their trainers in photos.B．Sheep are born with the ability to recognize each other.C．Dogs have the same ability to recognize humans’ faces as elephants.There are many ways to help improve your health like eating healthy food, taking exercise and getting medical help. But the easiest and cheapest way to improve your health is just to sleep eight hours or more every night. The general sleeping rule is that the younger you are, the longer sleep you need. But regardless of (不管) age, some people need to sleep more while for some a few hours is enough.The problem with sleep is that more and more people in the world are not sleeping enough. According to the World Health Organization, over half the people in the world may be sleep-deprived. Having less sleep not only makes people feel tired but also causes accidents. In the United States alone, sleepy drivers cause at least 100,000 traffic accidents a year. Also sleep problems can cause medical problems such as high blood pressure (血压).Why are so many people sleep-deprived? Part of the reasons may be cultural. In the American culture, people put a higher value on work than on sleep. In fact, people who sleep a lot are usually seen as “lazy”. Also, you can sometimes hear some people say proudly that they don’t have much time to sleep, they only sleep four or five hours a night. It seems that the less you sleep, the more work you’ll do.How do we teach these people to learn the value of sleep? Perhaps they may listen to the advice of Dr. James Maas, an expert (专家) in sleep. He says, “Sleep is like a credit (信用) card. When you sleep less, you are only borrowing time. You always have to pay it back. The more hours you don’t sleep, the more hours you should sleep to ‘pay back’ the hours on your ‘sleep credit card’.”For those who value work more than sleep, they should listen to what a famous person once said, “Don’t think you will be doing less work because you sleep during the night. That is a foolish (愚蠢的) idea which is held by people who have no imagination. You will be able to do more.”13．According to the writer, the easiest and cheapest way to improve health is to _______.A．eat healthy food every dayB．take exercise as much as possibleC．sleep eight hours or more every night14．According to Dr. James Maas, what is sleep like?A．An hour.B．A report.C．A credit card.15．What do the words of the famous person mean in Paragraph 5?A．Sleeping during the night is foolish.B．Sleeping during the night is helpful.C．People have no courage.16．What is the best title of the passage?A．The Value of Sleep B．The Value of Study C．The Ways of Eating Less阅读下面短文，根据短文内容，从下列选项中选出能填入文中空白处的最佳选项。

聪明的乌龟英语作文5句
聪明的乌龟英语作文5句英文回答：The tortoise may not seem like the most intelligent of creatures, but this slow-moving reptile has developed a number of impressive cognitive abilities that allow it to survive and thrive in its environment. Here are five surprising examples of the cleverness of tortoises:1. Tortoises can remember their way around a maze. Studies have shown that tortoises can learn and remember the layout of a maze, even after a long period of time. This suggests that tortoises have a good spatial memory, which allows them to navigate their environment and find food and shelter.2. Tortoises can recognize human faces. Another study found that tortoises can recognize human faces and distinguish between familiar and unfamiliar people. This suggests that tortoises have a good visual memory and canlearn to associate certain people with positive or negative experiences.3. Tortoises can cooperate with each other. Tortoises have been observed working together to overcome obstacles, such as moving a heavy object or escaping from a predator. This suggests that tortoises have a capacity for social cognition and can coordinate their actions with others.4. Tortoises can learn from their mistakes. When tortoises make a mistake, such as attempting to eat a poisonous plant, they remember the experience and avoid making the same mistake in the future. This suggests that tortoises have a capacity for learning and can adapt their behavior based on past experiences.5. Tortoises can use tools. In some cases, tortoises have been observed using tools to achieve their goals, such as using a rock to break open a nut or using a stick to reach food that is out of reach. This suggests that tortoises have a capacity for problem-solving and can use their intelligence to overcome challenges.中文回答：乌龟可能看起来不像最聪明的生物，但这种行动迟缓的爬行动物已经发展出许多令人印象深刻的认知能力，使其能够在环境中生存和繁荣。

Sheep Can Recognize Human Faces
羊：我记得住你们人类的脸
University of Cambridge scientists have trained sheep to recognize the faces of famous people.
剑桥大学的几名科学家一直在训练羊类，让它们能识别知名人士的脸。
The scientists hope facial recognition may help with their understanding of neurodegenerative diseases.
科学家希望，脸部的识别会帮助他们理解神经变性疾病。
The researchers showed the sheep pictures of people on two computer screens.
科学家们给一只羊看了两台电脑显示屏上的图片。
One screen had an unknown person and the other had one of four famous people.
其中一个显示屏上是一个不知名的人，而另一张上四个知名人物中的一个。
The animals were given food for choosing the photograph of the famous person.
如果培训中的羊能选出知名人物的照片，就会得到食物。
They chose the correct photograph by breaking an infrared beam near the flat surface showing the photo.
羊选择正确照片的方式是打断显示正确照片所在屏幕附近的红外光束。
If they chose the wrong image, an electric signaling device would make a sound, and the sheep would receive no treat.
如果羊选了错的照片，电子信号装置就会发出声响，然后这只羊就不会得到美餐。
The sheep eventually were able to identify the famous face eight times out of every ten tries.
尝试的十次里，这只羊有八次能识别出知名人士的脸。
The group of famous personalities included actors Emma Watson and Jake Gyllenhaal, and former American president Barack Obama.
这组知名人士包括演员艾玛·沃特森和杰克·吉伦哈尔和知名前总统巴拉克·奥巴马。
Professor Jenny Morton was the leader of the study.
詹妮·莫顿教授是该研究的领头人。
"We've shown that sheep have advanced face-recognition abilities, comparable with those of humans and monkeys,"she noted.
我们的研究表明，羊类有先进的脸部识别能力，可以与人类和猴子相媲美，”她如是说道。
The sheep were less successful when presented with the faces at a new angle or from a different direction.
不过，如果给羊从新的角度或者不同的方向展示面部照片时，羊的表现就不那么尽如人意。
However, the researchers said the performance of the animals on this test was similar to the levels seen when humans took the test.
对此，科学家表示，羊类在此次实验中的表现与人类参加此类测试所展现的水平相似。
Scientists aim to use the sheep as models to study disorders of the brain, such as Huntington's disease.
科学家的目标是用羊类做示范，来研究人类大脑的紊乱现象，比如亨廷顿氏舞蹈病。
This disorder develops over a long period of time and affects the brain's ability to work.
这种紊乱会长期发病，影响大脑的运转能力。
