In the story of “The crow and the Pitcher” from Aesop’s Fables, a thirsty crow(乌鸦) drops stones into a narrow jar to raise the low level of water inside so he can take a drink.
Now scientists have evidence to back up that story. New Caledonian crows actually do understand how to make water displacement work to their advantage, experiments showed. The results suggest that the birds are, at least in some aspects, as smart as first-graders, according to the study.
Researchers, led by Sarah Jelbert at the university of Auckland in New Zealand, presented six crows with tubes filled with water. Inside the tubes, a worm or piece of meat on a piece of wood was floating, just out of reach of the crow. In front of the tubes, the researchers arranged a bunch of heavy rubber erasers that would sink, and light plastic objects that would float. The crows found out that they could drop the heavy objects into the tubes in order to raise the water level and get their snack.
However, the birds handled awkwardly in experiments in which they could choose to drop objects in either a wide tube or a narrow tube to get a snack, the researchers said. Dropping objects into narrow tube would lift the water level by a greater amount and put the treat within reach after just two drops. In contrast, it took around seven drops to raise the snack to the same level in the wide tube. The crows obviously didn’t realize this, and most of them went for the wide tube first.
Previous studies showed that chimps and human children can solve similar tasks. In a 2011 study, chimps and kids found out that they could put water into a tube to reach a peanut that was floating in small amount of water at the bottom.
24. What does the text focus on?
A. Aesop’s prediction B. Crow’s intelligence
C. The development of crows D. Human-animal communication
25. How did the crows get the worm in a tube in Sarah’ experiment?
A. By dropping in the heavy erasers. B. By removing the plastic objects.
C. By standing on the wood. D. By breaking the tube.
26. What does the underlined part “the treat” in Paragraph 4 refer to?
A. The tube. B. The object. C. The snack D. The water.
27. What did the experiment with wide and narrow tubes show?
A. Crows are sensitive to surroundings.
B. Crows have the ability to recognize shapes.
C. Crows are cleverer than chimps and children.
D. Crows understand water displacement incompletely.21·cn·jy·com
C
Are the British people Europeans?This may seem a strange question to Africans and Asians, who tend to think of all white men as Europeans. But the British, when they are in Britain, do not regard themselves as Europeans. The Europeans, to them, are those rather excitable foreigners from the other side of the English Channel, who have never learnt how to speak English. Europe is “the Continent”:a place full of interest for British tourists, but also the source of almost all the wars in which Britain has ever been involved. Thus, although geographically speaking Britain is a part of Europe, yet the fact that it is a separate island has made its people feel very, very insular (孤立的). They feel, and in many ways are, different from the rest of Europe and they sometimes annoy continental nations by failing to support them, or even to understand them, in time of need.【来源:21cnj*y.co*m】
Where did the British people come from?This is an extraordinary interesting question, since they are a mixture of many different races,and all these races invaded Britain at various times from Europe. Nobody knows very much about Britain before the Romans came during the first century B.C., but there had been at least three invasions before that. The first of these was by a dark-haired Mediterranean race called the Iberians. The other two were by Celtic tribes: first the Gaels, whose descendants are the modern Scots and Irish, some of whom still speak the Gaelic language;and second the Britons, who gave their name to the whole island of Britain. These were the people whom the Romans conquered. The Romans gave the Britons a good deal of their civilization, but they never settled in Britain in very large numbers, so the British race survived until the overthrow of the Roman Empire by the“barbarians”, i.e. the numerous Germanic tribes which overran the whole of Western Europe.
28.The purpose of the passage is to________.
A.talk about Europeans
B.discuss the origin of British people
C.argue for the superiority of British people
D.compare the Europeans with Africans and Asians
29.It can be known from the passage that________.
A.most people think white people are Europeans
B.there are many Africans and Asians living in Europe
C.white men are Europeans in the eyes of Africans and Asians
D.the British people think of themselves as Europeans
30.Why do the British people feel very insular?
A.They are different from those people in the continent.
B.They sometimes fail to support the continental countries in time of need.
C.They are separated geographically from the continent.
D.They are considered very difficult to understand.2-1-c-n-j-y
31.Which of the following might be discussed after this passage?
A.The Germanic tribes which invaded Britain.
B.The civilization the Romans gave Britain.
C.The Romans who did not settle in Britain.
D.The survival of the British people in the first century.
D

Goodness , all I want to do is to be able to talk to my grandkids ! The people at the store weren’t much help . They couldn’t understand why someone wouldn’t want a phone the size of a postage stamp . And the rate plans ! They were confusing , and expensive … and the contract lasted for two years ! I’d almost given up until a friend told me about her new Jitterbug phone . Now , I have the convenience and safety of being about to stay in touch with a phone I can actually use . ”【来源:21·世纪·教育·网】

The secret to losing weight isn’t just watching what’s on your plate; it’s also about watching what’s in your glass. Popular soft drinks, fruit juices, and energy drinks can be loaded with added sugars and carbohydrates that can damage your weight-loss strategy. 36 .
Water
We all know this one, but it’s important to remember that water is the single best choice for effective weight loss. Whether it’s still or sparkling, aim to make water your go-to drink choice. 37 . Then try adding fresh lemon, cucumber, and even a piece of tomato to add flavor without adding many calories.
2. Vegetable juice
38 . If you can find a low-sodium(Na) variety, even better. The vegetables will keep you fuller longer and the flavor will keep your taste buds happy.
3. Unsweetened tea
Green tea has been proven to help speed up metabolism(新陈代谢) and weight loss. Try it hot or iced with a bit of honey for a low-sugar sweet drink. 39 . Both are filled with antioxidants(抗氧化剂),which can help rid your body of toxins.
4. Black coffee
A morning cup of coffee or an afternoon iced coffee can help lose your weight by providing caffeine that prevents people from hunger. Just be careful about what you add to your coffee---stick to skimmed milk and very little sugar.
5. Skimmed milk
Milk is an excellent source of lean protein, vitamin D, and calcium that can help build your muscles and keep your bones strong. 40 . Or add a little chocolate-low-fat. Chocolate milk is a great choice for post-workout muscle recovery.

Dear editor,
Under the influence of family planning policy, more and more families have an only child. With time going by, I am crazy about having a brother or a sister.
I think it will benefit me a lot. First, I won’t feel lonely any longer. I have a good companion and that will enrich my life, making it lively and interesting. Besides, he or she can help me overcome many difficulties in my life. I can seek advice from him or her. In every stage of life he or she can help me for nothing in return. What especially counts is that having a brother or sister can promote all-round development of children, benefiting them both physically and mentally. Equally it important is that having a brother or sister can ease the burden in the future—looking after old parents when they are old or get ill. But for an only child, it is a tiring job.
I do hope the government can find some suitable ways to perfect the family planning policy, making a more harmonious society and making people live a better life.
Best Wishes!
Yours,
Li Hua
