If you've ever seen a sparrow steal your dog food or a crow open a garbage bag, you get a sense of that some birds have learned to take advantage of new feeding opportunities—a clear sign of their intelligence. Scientists have long wondered why certain species of birds are more innovative than others, and whether these capacities stem from larger brains or from a greater number of neurons(神经元)in specific areas of the brain.
It turns out that it's a bit of both, according to a recent study by an international team that included members from McGill University published in Nature Ecology and Evolution.
The researchers used a new technique to estimate the number of neurons in a specific part of the brain called the pallium in 111 bird species. The pallium in birds is equal to the human cerebral cortex(大脑皮层), which is involved in memory, learning, reasoning, and problem-solving, among other things. When these estimates about neuron numbers in the pallium were combined with information about over 4,000 feeding innovations, the team found that the species with the higher numbers of neurons in the pallium were also likely to be the most innovative.
"The amount of time chicks spend in the nest as their brains develop might also play a crucial role in the evolution of intelligence," says McGill University Emeritus Professor Louis Lefebvre who spent more than 20 years gathering examples of feeding innovations. "Larger species of crows and parrots, which are known for their intelligence, spend longer in the nest, which allows more time for the brain to grow and accumulate pallial neurons."
The results of the study help to deal with previously opposed views of the evolution and significance of brain size and show how a life-history perspective helps to understand the evolution of cognition.
8.What may a sparrow be thought of when it steals dog food
A.It is lovely. B.It is immoral.
C.It is heartbroken. D.It is intelligent.
9.What did researchers do with the 111 bird species
A.Assessed the neurons in their pallium.
B.Tested a new technology on their brain.
C.Trained them to learn to feed individually.
D.Compared their pallium with the human cerebral cortex.
10.What is behind the intelligence of larger bird species
A.Their large shape. B.More time in their nest.
C.Their learning ability. D.More feeding innovations.
11.In which section may the text appear in a newspaper
A.Health. B.Society. C.Science. D.Culture.

Does bad grammar drive you crazy It may not just be a matter of opinion — scientists at the University of Birmingham in the UK have shown that hearing bad grammar can make us feel stressed, because it causes the body's autonomic nervous system, which controls our body's unconscious (无意识的) processes such as breathing and heart rate.
The study tested how our heart rate answers when we hear grammatical mistakes in a speech. It found a direct connection between poor grammar and reduced heart rate variability, which is the measure of the variation in time between our heartbeats, and a known sign of stress.
For the research, 41 healthy British English-speaking adults listened to 40 speech records by four different speakers with British and Polish accents (口音), while their heart rate was monitored by a machine attached to their fingers. Some of the speeches had grammatical mistakes, using the words "a", "an" and "the" incorrectly. The length of the speeches changed, and the number of grammatical mistakes in them changed, too.
The results showed that on average, the listeners' heart rate variability dropped when they heard grammatical mistakes in the speech. They also showed that the more mistakes that listeners heard, the further their heart rate variability dropped. In addition to this, the listeners found it more stressful to hear grammatical mistakes made by native English speakers compared to speakers with a Polish accent, because heart rate variability was more reduced when hearing grammatical mistakes made by those with a British accent.
The study's lead author, Dagmar Divjak, said the results could have a practical application: They might be used to help test the mental abilities of people who cannot speak due to poor health or old age.
12.What does the research focus on
A.The rules of learning grammar.
B.The ways to avoid making mistakes.
C.The importance of having a good mood.
D.The impact of grammatical mistakes on our feeling.
13.What does paragraph 3 mainly tell us about the research
A.Its effect. B.Its result. C.Its process. D.Its purpose.
14.Which sentence may make listeners feel stressed according to the text
A.How happy we are!
B.I has nothing to do at home.
C.That book was a little boring.
D.My class saw a film yesterday.
15.What does Dagmar Divjak think of the results
A.Useful. B.Meaningless. C.Confusing. D.Doubtful.
二、第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Life isn't fair. Some people just seem blessed with the ability to effortlessly charm anyone they meet. Well, it might seem like a magical power, but in fact there are a number of factors at work. 16. The answer is: to a large extent, yes you can.
But first, the bad news. People initially judge each other based purely on physical appearance. With just a glimpse of a face, people make snap judgments about each other's likability, trustworthiness and confidence. How should we deal with this 17. People perceive a smiling face as more trustworthy, warmer and sociable. It sounds like common sense, doesn't it Smile and others will smile with you.
What other tricks might we have 18. Consequently, three things we can do to signal that we are not a threat are to: raise our eyebrows quickly, tilt (仰起) our heads slightly, and once again, to smile.
So we've looked at body language, but of course what you say is hugely important too, unless you want to just stand there grinning foolishly. The golden rule of friendship is if you make people feel good about themselves, they're going to like you. In other words, you should not talk about yourself and all your wonderful achievements. 19.
Finally, finding common ground is good to form a connection. Charming people are particularly skilled at seeking out shared interests or experiences to bond with others. Simple things like asking where someone's from really can open up a discussion and allow you to find areas in common. And if all else fails, you can fall back on that most British of topics: the weather. 20.
A. So, can you learn to develop superhuman charm
B. Shared interests are the key to making connections with others.
C. What good tricks can we employ to become charming
D. Our brains often survey the environment for friend or enemy signals.
E. It can be a nice start of a conversation.
F. Instead, you need to show interest in them.
G. There's one incredibly simple tool: your smile.

Jacob had always admired firefighters. Their bravery and dedication to saving lives inspired him. He dreamed of becoming one himself someday. One evening, as he was walking home from his part-time job at the local grocery store, he noticed smoke billowing(涌出) from a house down the street. Without thinking twice, he ran towards the house.
As he got closer, he could hear the crackling of flames and the faint sound of someone calling for help. Jacob's heart raced. He knew he had to act fast. He pulled out his phone and dialed 911, giving them the address and details. Then, he took a deep breath and decided to go inside.
Jacob pushed the front door and opened it with his shoulder. The thick smoke made it hard to see, but he could make out the shape of a woman at the top of the stairs. "Help! My daughter is upstairs! " she cried.
Jacob covered his mouth with his sleeve as he made his way up the stairs. The heat was intense, and the smoke stung(刺痛) his eyes, but he pressed on. He found the little girl hiding under her bed. "It's okay," he said, "I'm here to help you." He gently pulled her out and carried her down the stairs.
As they reached the bottom, the firefighters arrived. Jacob handed the girl to her mother, who hugged him tightly, tears streaming down her face. "Thank you, you saved my daughter's life."
Jacob stayed with the family until the firefighters declared the house safe. He watched as they worked tirelessly to put out the fire and ensure it didn't spread to neighboring homes. The mother and daughter were taken to the hospital for a check-up, but they would be okay. As Jacob walked home that night, he couldn't shake the feeling of pride and responsibility that had settled over him. He had faced a dangerous situation and had made a difference.
Over the next few days, news of Jacob's bravery spread throughout the community, and even astonished the mayor.
