(2017·广东卷)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.
【语篇导读】 这是一篇有趣的说明文。文章通过一些对比试验说明，许多鸟类也像人类一样具有一定的数字感知能力。
1．A.rise B．pattern
C．change D．trend
解析 由下文的两个实验来看，都是数字的“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。
答案 C
2．A.Importantly B．Surprisingly
C．Disappointedly D．Fortunately
解析 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。
答案 B
3．A.survive B．care
C．hatch D．notice
解析 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。
答案 D
4．A.generally B．sincerely
C．casually D．deliberately
解析 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。其它选项“真诚地”“无意地”“故意地”不合语境。
答案 A
5．A.distance B．range
C．difference D．interval
解析 这个例子谈到，四个中移走一个余下三个，这只鸟不会注意到；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。
答案 C
6．A.amazing B．annoying
C．satisfying D．disturbing
解析 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surprisingly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。
答案 A
7．A.relax B．recover
C．react D．return
解析 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。
答案 D
8．A.appointment B．excuse
C．idea D．explanation
解析 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。
答案 C
9．A.fool B．hurt
C．catch D．kill
解析 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。
答案 A
10．A.reported B．repeated
C．designed D．approved
解析 该实验先由一个人去接近那只乌鸦，然后又带一个人即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”均与语境不符。
答案 B
11．A.confused B．gone
C．tired D．drunk
解析 那只乌鸦直到所有人都“不见了，消失了”才会回来。
答案 B
12．A.gradually B．luckily
C．strangely D．finally
解析 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个月大的婴儿在数量超过三四个之后就常常被欺骗，就可理解。
答案 D
13．A.single B．small
C．local D．new
解析 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。
答案 B
14．A.seldom B．temporarily
C．merely D．often
解析 由but可知，后文是表示与always notice相对的意思，当数量超过三四个以后，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。
答案 D
15．A.sight B．nature
C．ability D．belief
解析 由文章的首段可知，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”。
答案 C

(2017·广东模拟卷)When I come across a good article in reading newspapers，I often want to cut and keep it.But just as I am about to do so，I find the article on the opposite __1__ is as much interesting.It may be a discussion of the way to __2__ in good health，or advice about how to __3__ and conduct yourself in society.If I cut the front article，the opposite one is likely to suffer __4__ ，leaving out half of it or keeping the text off the title.Therefore，the scissors would stay before they start，or the cutting would be halfway done when I find out the __5__
result.
