When people hear the word ''rat'', they may think of dirty animals that spread disease. And if you are an English learner, you may also connect the word ''rat'' with bad 1. (express). For example, calling someone a ''rat'' is 2. big insult and ''rat race'' describes a joyless, hurried way of living. So rats 3.

It is believed that some of animals think a great deal. Many of them are like children in their sports. Some birds are very lively in their sports; and the same is true with some insects. The ants, hardworking as they are, have their times for play. They run races; they wrestle; and sometimes they have mock fights together. Very busy must be their thoughts while engaged in these sports.

Animals think much while building their houses. The bird searches for what it can use in building its nest, and in doing this it thinks. The beavers think as they build their dams and their houses. They think in getting their materials, and also in arranging them, and in plastering them together with mud. Some spiders build houses which could scarcely have been made except by some thinking creature.

As animals think, they learn. Some learn more than others. The parrot learns to talk, though in some other respects it is quite stupid. The mocking bird learns to imitate a great many different sounds. The shepherd dog does not know as much about most things as some other dogs, and yet he understands very well how to take care of sheep.

Though animals think and learn, they do not make any real improvement in their ways of doing things, as men do. Each kind of bird has its own way of building a nest, and it is always the same way. They have no new fashions, and learn none from each other.

It is plain that, while animals learn about things by their senses as we do, they do not think nearly as much about what they learn, and this is the reason why they do not improve more rapidly. Even the wisest of them, as the elephant and the dog, do not think very much about what they see and hear. Nor is this all. There are some things that we understand, but about which animals know nothing. They have no knowledge of anything that happens outside of their own observation. Their minds are so much unlike ours that they do not know the difference between right and wrong.

1.Why does the author mention that some birds and insects are very lively in their sports?

A. To illustrate that some animals probably think in the sports.

B. To tell us that some birds and insects are more lively than others.

C. To show us that ants are the cleverest insects in the animal kingdom.

D. To attract readers by introducing some interesting facts about animals.

2.“Animals think much while building their houses” because ________.

A. they have to communicate with each other in getting their material

B. they have to calculate something to arrange all the material

C. no animals have a must to build a “house” except some thinking creatures

D. it is unimaginable to build “houses” without thinking work involved

3.The underlined word "plain" in Paragraph 5 can be replaced by ______.

A. flat　　 B. clear

C. vital　　 D. reasonable

4.The author will probably agree that ________.

A. animals can’t think as a matter of fact

B. animals can’t really learn to do something

C. animals can think and learn but limitedly

D. each kind of animal has their own language

C

I believe that animals possess greater intelligence than most people think. But plants? I've never considered the possibility of plant intelligence. The idea seems absurd.

Yet I've had friends argue that plant intelligence might exist. "What are the differences between plants and animals?" they ask, and then they argue about certain species that seem to share the intelligence of both plants and animals.

New research suggests that plants communicate via "networks". Plant communication is not idea, and cannot indicate that its is a kind of intelligence, but it is still interesting.

Recent research from Vidi researcher Josef Stuefer at the Radboud University Nijmegen shows that plants have their own chat systems that they can use to warn each other. Therefore plants are not boring and passive organisms that just stand there waiting to be cut down or eaten up. Many plants form internal communication networks and are able to exchange information networks and are able to exchange information efficiently.

Many herbal plants such as strawberries and clovers (三叶草)naturally form networks.

Individual plants remain connected with each other for a certain period of time by means of runners (plant stems that grow along the ground and put down roots to form new plants). These connections enable the plants to share information with each other via internal channels. They are therefore very similar to computer networks. But what do plants chat to each other about?

Recently Stuefer and his colleagues were the first to prove that clover plants warn each other via the network links if danger is nearby . If one of the plants is attacked by caterpillars (毛虫)，the other members of the network are warned via an internal signal. Once warned the intact (完好无损的)plants strengthen their chemical and mechanical (机体的)resistance so that they are less attractive to advancing caterpillars. Thanks to this early warning system, the plants can stay one step ahead of their attackers. The research has shown that this significantly limits the damage to the plants.

Again, I don't believe this reflects intelligence, but it's is certainly fascinating.

66.The author thinks that the plant communication      .

A.is absolutely a new idea

B.is a sign of plant intelligence

C.is related to animal communication

D.is interesting and fascinating

67.Clover plants warn each other when danger is nearby by       .

A.making sounds

B.releasing chemicals

C.strengthening mechanical resistance

D.sending internal signals

68.Which of the following statements about the research is NOT true?

A.Most plants have no chat system and are passive organisms.

B.Individual plants can also remain connected with each other.

C.The communication between clover plants can protect them from damage.

D.The research is the first to show how clover plants warn each other.

69.The author's attitude towards plant intelligence is

A. unconcerned        B. doubtful    C. positive      D. hopeful

70" What's the best title for the passage?

A.Does Plant Communication Really Exist?

B.Some Discoveries About Clover Plant

C.Does Plant Communication Imply Intelligence?

D.A New Study on Plant Communication

Some people think that all wild animals are very dangerous. Actually, very few of them will attack a man if he leaves them alone. If you met a lion or an elephant, suppose, you would run away, but even a lion will keep away from a man unless it is very hungry. Lions and tigers only kill and eat men when they have grown too old and too weak to catch their usual food, such as deer and other small animals. If you saw a wild elephant, perhaps you would be frightened. Elephants usually run away at once unless you attack them. Some animals get very frightened if they only smell a man; some take no notice at all but quietly walk in another direction. Wild animals only attack hunters when they are afraid that the hunters mean to harm their young ones, or then the hunters shoot at them and make them angry.

1.The word “attack” is closest in meaning to _____________ .

2.Lions and tigers will not kill or eat men ____________ .

3. Some wild animals will become very dangerous ______________ .

4.This passage is mainly about______________ .

Most people may think that people who write computer code must be good at math and logical thinking. However, people who write computer code say that creativity is also an important quality for coding.

Software developers in the American state of California have created a game called Osmo Coding Jam. The game is designed to help children use the creative side of their minds as they learn to code. Children can play the game on iPads. There are many activities they can do by the game.

Tanya Dodge is the mother of two children, nine-year-old Dylan and his 11-year-old sister Meghan, who play the game. According to her, these activities give them important skills for the future. “It’s an analytical skill that the kids are going to need to have as they grow up today” said Dodge.

But the developers of Osmo Coding Jam believe writing code should be more than just an analytical skill. “We want to explore the creative side of coding that I think is often not as explored,” said Felix Hu, an Osmo engineer. Hu added, “The coolest part is that we’re teaching kids how to be creative with code and that’s a really important thing that kids should get comfortable with because coding is creative.”

Hu also sees a growing number of parents who feel that software code is a second language that children need to learn to succeed in future jobs. Tanya Dodge, the mother of Dylan and Meghan, consents. She said, “I think you’re going to have to understand at some point the idea of coding will work well in the future.”

Hu also explained that very often kids grow up not understanding how a computer works or just thinking that it’s like a magical machine. He said by breaking it down to a lower level, kids can understand that the computer isn’t as smart as they think it is.

1.Osmo Coding Jam is designed for ________.

A. training kids’ logical thinking

B. helping kids learn to code fast

C. helping children learn math well

D. helping kids become more creative

2.What does Tanya Dodge think of Osmo Coding Jam?

A. It needs to be improved.

B. It is highly addictive for kids.

C. It is of great help to today’s kids.

D. It is imperfect in training kids’ analytical skill.

3.Which of the following statements is True according to the text?

A. Tanya Dodge agrees that coding is good for children to succeed in future jobs.

B. Many parents doubts whether coding will help children work well in the future.

C. Creativity is not so important as logical thinking for coding.

D. Tanya Dodge has two girls, who play the game, Osmo Coding Jam.

4.What can we know about kids’ learning coding from the last paragraph?

A. It makes them much more confident and creative.

B. It makes them like using computers more.

C. It helps them know better about computers.

D. It helps them know better about themselves.

5.What’s the author’s purpose in writing the passage?

A. To tell how to learn to code well.

B. To tell about a new game for kids.

C. To encourage kids to learn to code.

D. To show the importance of creativity.
