1．When is the talk on James Brindley?A．February 6th. B．March 6th.C．November 7th. D．December 5th.【解析】细节理解题。

根据题干关键信息词 James Brindley 直接定位到原文第二段，尤其是关键信息句 James Brindley is recognized as one of the leading early canal engineers.和 Chris Lewis will explain how Brindley made such a positive contribution to the education of that group of early“civil engineers”．。

由此可以知道 November 7th这一天的报告是关于 James Brindley的，故选择C项。

A、 B、D中三个日期的报告均未提到有关 James Brindley 的信息。

【答案】 C2．What is the topic of the talk in February?A．The Canal Pioneers.B．Ice for the Metropolis.C．Eyots and Aits－Thames Islands.D．An Update on the Cotswold Canals.【解析】细节理解题。

根据题干关键信息词 topic和February可知问的是二月份的报告的话题，同时根据全文结构特点可以看出每一段的第一句中的黑体字就是每一次报告的话题名称，所以可以直接定位到原文第四段，第一句的黑体字部分An Update on the Cotswold Canals 就是答案，故选D项。

【答案】 D3．Who will give the talk on the islands in the Thames?A．Miranda Vickers. B．Malcolm Tucker.C．Chris Lewis. D．Liz Payne.【解析】细节理解题。

根据题干关键信息词 the islands in the Thames 可以直接定位到原文第五段。

该段第一句 Eyots and Aits－Thames Islands，by Miranda Vickers.就是答案所在信息句，由此可知 Miranda Vickers将作一个关于 the islands in the Thames 的报告，因此选A项。

B、C、D三项中提到的人物均未在第五段中出现。

【答案】 ABMale cichlids are mainly freshwater fish that may go after other fish which dare cross their path.A male cichlid will even lunge even if “the other fish” happens to be himself: When some types of these cichlids see their own reflections in amirror，they respond as aggressively as when they encounter a real fish opponent.A new study suggests that even though these two situations may look the same，a fish's brain actually reacts differently in each case.That doesn't mean，however，that the fish recognizes itself.Researchers from Stanford University recently studied male cichlids that fight their own reflections.The team observed that the part of the brain associated with fear and other negative emotions becomes active when the fish fight their mirror images.According to Julie K．Desjardins，one of the scientists who worked on the study，the scientists are not sure that the fish are afraid of themselves.Even if it is not fearful，the fish is having a negative response，she told Science News.The researchers did not observe a difference in the behaviors of fish going after other fish and with fish going after their own reflections.However，when they looked in the fish's brain，using a technique called Immediate Early Gene (IEG) expression，they found a difference.With this technique，the scientists watched particular genes in the fish that were associated with particular regions of the brain.Measuring IEG helped the scientists to determine which areas of the brain were more active than others.When a male cichlid went after its own reflection，the scientists found that the fish brain was especially active in a region similar to the amygdala (a small structure in the brain) but when it went after other fish，it didn't have the same activity in its amygdala region.In human beings and other animals，the amygdala is associated with fear and other negative emotions.Using IEG expression to study fear in fish is new and unusual，but some older studies have shown similar results in other animals.Monkeys，for example，have been shown not to recognize themselves－but they do act differently around their own reflections than they do around other monkeys.【语篇解读】美国研究人员发现，无论面对真鱼还是镜子中的自己，被测试的鱼都会和对方搏斗；通过对其脑部的检测进一步发现，两种情形下鱼的反应不尽相同。
