I．语言知识及应用（共两节，满分45分）

阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从1~15各题所给的A、B、C和D项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

Number sense is not the ability to count. It is the ability to recognize a 1 in number. Human beings are born with this ability. 2 ，experiments show that many animals are, too. For example, many birds have good number sense. If a nest has four eggs and you remove one, the bird will not 3 .However, if you remove two, the bird 4 leaves. This means that the bird knows the 5 between two and three.

Another interesting experiment showed a bird's 6 number sense. A man was trying to take a photo of a crow (乌鸦) that had a nest in a tower, but the crow always left when she saw him coming. The bird did not 7 until the man left the tower. The man had an 8 . He took another man with him to the tower. One man left and the other stayed, but they did not 9 the bird. The crow stayed away until the second man left, too. The experiment was 10 with three men and then with four men. But the crow did not return to the nest until all the men were 11 .It was not until five men went into the tower and only four left that they were 12 able to fool the crow.

How good is a human's number sense? It's not very good. For example, babies about fourteen months old almost always notice if something is taken away from a 13 group. But when the number goes beyond three or four, the children are 14 fooled.

It seems that number sense is something we have in common with many animals in this world, and that our human 15 is not much better than a crow's.

本文在讲述什么是数字感之后重点介绍有关动词也具有数字感的实验，实验结果表明许多动物和人一样具有数字感，且人的这种感知数字变化的能力并不比乌鸦的这种能力强多少。

1. C 由下文的两个实验来看，都是数理的“变化”。其他三个选项“上升”“样式”“趋势”与文中内容几乎毫无关系。

2. B因“实验表明许多动物也跟人类一样具有这种能力”，这是“令人惊讶的”。其他选项“重要地”“失望地”“幸运地”与上下文内容无联系。

3. D结合下句，特别是however可知，上下句的大意应是“如果鸟巢内有四个蛋，你移走一个蛋，这只鸟会没有注意到；然而，如果你移走两个蛋，这只鸟就会离开这里了”。其他选项“幸存”“关心”“孵化”不合语境。

4. A 把这只鸟“通常”会离开，因为这个具体的例子是用来说明“many birds have good number sense”这个主题的。“真诚地”“无意地”“故意地”不合语境。

5. C这个例子谈到，四个中移走一个余下三个，这只鸟会注意不到；若移走两个，余下两个了，这只鸟就会离开这里了。这说明这只鸟知道余下两个与余下三个的“差别”。其余选项“距离”“范围”“间隔”与语境不符。

6. A 与上文中good number sense(良好的数字感)中的good相对应，也与第2题的答案surprising相对，故选“amazing

(令人惊异的)”，近义复现。其他选项“讨厌的”“令人满意的”“烦扰的”不合语境。 7. D 与left 相对，“离开”“返回”这两者也叫同现；与下文中return to the nest的return是原词复现。

8. C 从下文看，这个人有了一个“主意”或想了一个“办法”。其他选项“约会”“借口”“解释”均不合语境。

9. A 由but可知，他们并没能“欺骗”那只乌鸦。与下文fool the crow中的fool是原词复现，也就是说从此可以得到启示。

10. B该实验由一个人去接近那只乌鸦，然后带一个人即一共两个人去做这个实验，接着三个人、四个人去“重复”做这个实验。其他选项“报告”“设计”“证明”均现语境不符。 11. B 那只乌鸦直到所有人都“不见了，消失了”才会回来。

12. D前面已分别由一个人、二个人、三个人、四个人重复做了四次了，直到五个人进了塔，只走了四个，即还有一个在塔里，他们才“最终”欺骗了这只乌鸦。结合文章倒数第二段讲14个月的婴儿在超过三四个之后就常常被欺骗，就可理解了，当数字超过一定数量后就可欺骗了。

13. B 由下文But when the number goes beyond three or four可知，是指三四个以内的这样一“小”组东西。

14. D 由but可知，后文是表示与always notice相对的意思，当数理超过三四个以后，就“常常”能欺骗这些婴儿了。其他选项“很少”“暂时地”“只是”与语境不符。

15. C由文章的首段或首句可知，本文在讲到人具有数字感的同时，重点是讲动物的数字感，即有辨别数字变化的“能力”。
