　　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

　　is not much better than a crow's.

　　[语篇解读]：

　　本文是一篇说事理性的说明文，篇章模式为总-分-分-总的结构。第一段提出话题，说明什么是数字感，并通过拿鸟类作为例子说明，不仅人类与生俱来都有这种数字感，而且动物也有；第二段运用一个人想对一只乌鸦进行拍照的另一个有趣的例子来进一步鸟类的神奇的数字的分辨力；第三段，以一个婴儿为例说这里要表达的意思是：这个人有（或想出）了一个主意，四个选项的含义分别为：A“失望”，B“借口”，C“主具备的能力，而且）我们人类的这种能力不比乌鸦更强。

　　, 从给的四个选项 (A、B、C和D) 中, 选出最佳选项。

　　I’ve written 14 movies．My characters smoke in many of them, and they look cool and glamorous（有魅力的） doing it．Smoking was an integral（必需的） part of many of my screenplays because I was a heavy smoker．It was part of a bad-boy image I’d cultivated for a long time— smoking, drinking, partying, rock ’n’ roll．

　　Smoking, I once believed, was every person’s right．The second-hand smoke was non-existent problem invented by professional do-gooders．I put all these views into my plays．

　　Remembering all this, I find it hard to forgive myself．I have been an accomplice (帮凶) to the murders of untold numbers of human beings．I am admitting this only because I have made a deal with God．Spare me, I said, and I will try to stop others from committing the same crimes I did．

　　Eighteen months ago I was diagnosed with throat cancer, the result of a lifetime of smoking．I am alive but disabled．Much of my larynx (喉) is gone．I have some difficulty speaking; others have some difficulty understanding me．

　　I haven’t smoked or drunk for 18 months now, though I still take it day by day and pray for help．I believe in prayer and exercise．I have walked five miles a day for a year, without missing even one day．Quitting smoking and drinking has taught me the hardest lesson I’ve ever learned about my own weakness; it has also given me the greatest affection and empathy(同感) for those still addicted．

　　I don’t think smoking is every person’s right anymore．I think smoking should be as illegal as heroin（海洛因）．I’m no longer such a bad boy．I go to church on Sunday．I’m desperate to see my four boys grow up．I want to do everything I can to undo the damage I have done with my own big-screen words and images．

　　Screen writers know, too, that some movie stars are more likely to play a part if they can smoke —because they are so addicted to smoking that they have difficulty stopping even during the shooting of a scene．

　　My hands are bloody; so are Hollywood’s．My cancer has caused me to attempt to cleanse（彻底清洁） me．I don’t wish my fate upon anyone in Hollywood, but I beg that Hollywood should stop putting it upon millions of others．

　　The main idea of this passage probably is _________．

　　the writer is ashamed of the bad effects his screenplays have had on human beings

　　B. the writer’s smoking experience nearly killed himself

　　C. the bad effects that Hollywood screenplay have brought to children

　　D. the determination of the writer to overcome his illness

　　答案解析：答案为A。本题为文章大意题。第一段作者引入话题，在他创作的电影中，很多人物吸烟，吸烟是他的作品中必需的，这些吸烟的场景影响了人们，

　　后面的段落介绍作者因为吸烟而患上了喉癌How do you think the writer has realized his mistake?

　　A. So many people have found the habit of smoking due to his plays．

　　BHis plays have brought great harm to teenagers．

　　CHe himself suffered greatly from smoking．

　　DHis screenplays have been doing more and more harm to human beings．

　　“…I find it hard to forgive myself”和该段最后一句提到的 “…and I will try to stop others from committing the same crimes I did.”, 以及第四段首句 “Eighteen months ago I was diagnosed with throat cancer, the result of a lifetime of smoking．”喉癌A. He has made up his mind to give up smoking forever．

　　BHe will try his best to prevent others from writing screen plays encouraging smoking．

　　CHe will try his best to bring up his four children．

　　D. smoking in Hollywood films is still doing great harm to human beings

　　答案解析：答案为D。本题为推理题。由第四段第二句话 “I am alive but disabled．”“I don’t wish my fate upon anyone in Hollywood, but I beg that Hollywood should stop putting it upon millions of others．”A,B,C或D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

　　Do you know how it is when you see someone yawn and you start yawning too? Or how hard it is to be among people laughing and not laugh yourself? Well, apparently it’s because we have mirror neurons (神经元) in our brains.

　　Put simply, the existence of mirror neurons suggests that every time we see someone else do something, our brains imitate (模仿) it, whether or not we actually perform the same action. This explains a great deal about how we learn to smile, talk, walk, dance or play sports. But the idea goes further: mirror neurons not only appear to explain physical actions, they also tell us that there is a biological basis for the way we understand other people.

　　Mirror neurons can undoubtedly be found all over our brains, but especially in the areas which relate to our ability to use languages, and to understand how other people feel. Researchers have found that mirror neurons relate strongly to language. A group of researchers discovered that if they gave people sentences to listen to (for example: “The hand took hold of the ball”) , the same mirror neurons weretriggered as when the action was actually performed (in this example, actually taking hold of a ball) .

　　Any problems with mirror neurons may well result in problems with behavior. Much research suggests that people with social and behavioral problems have mirror neurons which are not fully functioning. However, it is not yet known exactly how these discoveries might help find treatments for social disorders.

　　Research into mirror neurons seems to provide us with ever more information concerning how humans behave and interact (互动) . Indeed, it may turn out to be the equivalent (相等物) for neuroscience of what Einstein’s theory of relativity was for physics. And the next time you feel the urge to cough in the cinema when someone else does—well, perhaps you’ll understand why.

　　1. Mirror neurons can explain　.　

　　A. why we cry when we are hurt

　　B. why we cough when we suffer from a cold

　　C. why we smile when we see someone else smile

　　D. why we yawn when we see someone else stay up late

　　2. The underlined word“triggered”in the third paragraph probably means“　”.　

　　A. set off B. cut off　C. built up D. broken up

　　3. We can learn from the passage that mirror neurons　.　

　　A. relate to human behavior and interaction

　　B. control human physical actions and feelings

　　C. result in bad behavior and social disorders

　　D. determine our knowledge and language abilities

　　4. What is the passage mainly about?

　　A. Ways to find mirror neurons.　 B. Problems of mirror neurons.

　　C. Existence of mirror neurons.　 D. Functions of mirror neurons.
