Introduction to English as a Second Language Teacher's Book
One of the earliest﹣known inventions is the bow and arrow，which is still used throughout
the world today，15，000 years （1） it was first invented.Of course，these
days，the bow and arrow （2） （use） mainly in sporting events，but in
some places it is still a means of killing animals for food.
In western Asia，another extremely important invention was born﹣the ability to produce
pots.As long as 6500 years ago，people were producing pottery，mostly plain and without
designs，but the technique has changed little since.
Some people say that the wheel is the single most important invention.Early examples from
about 5000 years ago have been found in the forests of Europe.Around 1500 years later，the
Phoenicians used sand，limestone and sodium carbonate to produce （3） else
which we would be lost without﹣glass.
How many things do you lock with a key every day？Doors，cupboards？The car？We
really don't think much about them，（4） we？Well，the first example of a lock and key
dates back to 2750 years ago，in Assyria.This is a lock on a large wooden door in the palace of
Sargon Ⅱ.
Another amazing invention，which we probably take for granted these days，is the skill of
knitting（5） first appeared in the Roman Empire，some 1700 years ago.The （6）
（early） examples are knitted socks!
Eye glasses developed from just one lens in a frame，like a simple magnifying glass，way
back in the 13th century.In about 1290，the idea to put two lenses in a frame to sit on the nose was
developed in Florence.And，believe it or not，the modern contact lens is 120 years old!Time flies and we spend a lot of time（7） （check）how much time we have
left!This would be impossible （8） clocks and watches，（9） are
all around us：on walls，on our wrists，on our PCs，and even on our mobiles and iPod's.The first
pocket watch was invented by Thomas Tompion（1639﹣1714）in England 330 years ago，and his
watch﹣face design，with two（and sometimes three） hands moving around a single dial，
（10） （remain） largely unchanged in all that time.
Section B Directions： Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each
word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need.

The health food chain Tossed has just opened the UK's firstcashless cafe.It's another step
towards the death of cash.
This is nothing （1） .Money is tech.The casting of coins made shells，whales' teeth
and other such primitive forms of money redundant（多余的）.The printing press did the same
for precious metals：we started using paper （2） instead.Electronic banking put paid to
the cheque.Contactless payment is now doing the same to cash，which is becoming less and less
convenient.In the marketplace convenience usually wins.
In a world without cash，every payment you make will be（3） .Do you want
governments （which are not always benevolent），banks or payment processors to have potential
access to that information？The power this（4） them is enormous and the potential scope
for Orwellian levels of surveillance is terrifying.
Cash，on the other hand，（5） its users.It enables them to buy and sell，and （6）
their wealth，without being dependent on anyone else.They can stay outside the financial system，
if so desired.
Cash has its uses for small transactions ﹣ a chocolate bar，a newspaper，a pint of milk ﹣
which，in the UK，are still（7） to process by other means.It will always be the fastest and
most direct form of payment there is.I like to （8） waiters，for example，in cash，knowing
they will receive that money，without it being siphoned（转移） off by some（9）employer.I also like to shop in markets，where I can buy directly from the producer knowing they
will receive the money，without middle men（10） off their percentages.
Cash means total financial inclusion，a luxury the better﹣off take for granted.Without
financial inclusion ﹣ and there will always be some who，for whatever reason，won't have it ﹣
you are trapped in poverty.So beware the war on cash.

16．Fitness experts weigh in on whether it's safe to skip this sometimes annoying step in your
exercise routine.
One of the most important steps in your fitness routine comes at the conclusion.Many know the
importance of properly warming up and preparing to exercise ， but experts say that
incorporating a cool down routine is just as important.According to the Mayo Clinic，cooling
down allows for your body to recover and return to its normal， （1） state.
Though cooling down isn't proven to （2） muscle stiffness or soreness，it can
prevent dizziness and allow your heart rate and breathing to ease back to a normal rate，Harvard
Medical School reports.Phyllis Mammarelli，personal trainer at the Shenango Valley YMCA in
Sharon，Pennsylvania，works with each of her clients on a cool down routine as she says it's a
（n） （3） part of exercising.
"Cooling down allows your body to gradually return to a low﹣intensity activity level，slowly
reducing your respiratory and heart rate until it's equalized and back to normal" she says.
（4） the recovery phase of a workout isn't proven to be harmful to your body，but
Mammarelli warns that without cooling down，the body will take longer to return back to the low
﹣intensity level activity level you began your workout with.
There are also non﹣threatening side effects that could occur as a result of forgoing a cool
down.Mammarelli warns that blood can gather or pool in your lower extremities and lead to
dizziness and （5） .Additionally，ACE says to keep an eye on your （6） soreness
and stiffness.While soreness after a workout is to be expected， （7） onset muscle
soreness can occur 24 ﹣ 28 hours after your workout and cause "uncomfortable debilitating
pain".Side effects are mostly seen in the elderly or those with cardiovascular disease and can be（8） by warming up and cooling down.Here are some other signs that you might be
working out too much.
Allow five to 10 minutes at the （9） of your workout for a cool﹣down
routine.During this period，continue your workout session，but at a much reduced rate.If you're
（10） for time during your workouts or unsure how to allow your body to recover，
Mammarelli suggests stretching muscles in a pain﹣free range of （11） .Here's an easy
stretch （12） to try.
Tacking on a few （13） minutes to your workout for cooling down may seem like a

（15） .If you need inspiration for scheduling the time to workout and cool downlook to
these women who work out every day.

Section B Directions： Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed byseveral questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked
A， B， C and D. Choose the one that fit s best according to the information given in the
passage you have just read.
17．James Cameron，writer﹣director﹣producer of best picture Oscar winner "Titanic"
（1997），has again denied a claim perennially put forth by fans：that there was room for Jack
（Leonardo DiCaprio） to climb aboard the floating door holding Rose （Kate Winslet） and
avoid death by hypothermia （低体温） following the shipwreck in the North Atlantic.
Stating that "it says on page 147 [of the script] that Jack dies，" Cameron，63，told Vanity Fair，
"Obviously it was an artistic choice， [that] the thing was just big enough to hold her，and not big
enough to hold him".Finding it "silly，really，that we're having this discussion 20 years later." the
filmmaker pointed out that ， "Had he lived ， the ending of the film would have been
meaningless...So whether it was that，or whether a smokestack fell on him，he was going down."
He added he believed the physics were correct as well. "I was in the water with the piece of
wood putting people on it for about two days getting it exactly buoyant（漂浮）enough so that it
would support one person with full free﹣board，meaning that she wasn't immersed at all in the 28
degree water，so that she could survive the three hours it took until the rescue ship got there...And
we very，very finely tuned it to be exactly what you see in the movie because I believed at the time，
and still do，that that's what it would have taken for one person to survive."
Winslet and fellow "Titanic" star Kathy Bates suggest otherwise，with Bates at the SAG
AFTRA Foundation 2nd Annual Patron of the Artists Awards on Nov.9 introducing Winslet by
saying，"He lets go of her hand and sinks into the depth of the Atlantic.And I personally think that
there was plenty of room on there!" Winslet agreed，telling the audience lightheartedly， "He
could have fit on it!He could have fit on that door!" She similarly said on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!"
in February 2016 that Jack "could have actually fitted on that bit of door"
As far back as 2012，Cameron toldIGN.com，"It's not a question of room，it's a question of
buoyancy...It's clear that there's really only enough buoyancy available for one person...She's
completely out of the water on the raft，and ...if he got on with her，they'd both be half in and half
out of the water ...and they would have both died of hypothermia."
As well，he had told The Daily Beast in January，"You read page 147 of the script and it says，
" Jack gets off the board and gives his place to her so that she can survive "It's that simple".Referring to a 2012 episode of Discovery's "MythBusters" in which he gamely guest﹣starred，
Cameron told the website，"You're Jack，you're in water that's 28 degrees，your brain is starting to
get hypothermia. 'MythBusters' asks you to now go take off your life vest，take hers off，swim
underneath this thing，attach it in some way that it won't just wash out two minutes later ﹣
which means you're underwater tying this thing on in 28﹣degree water，and that's going to take
you five to 10 minutes，so by the time you come back up you're already dead.So that wouldn't
work.His best choice was to keep his upper body out of the water and hope to get pulled out by a
boat or something before he died."
（1）What question have the fans raised about the plot of the Titanic？
A.They think the ending of the story was not good enough.
B.They question the director's level of direction.
C.They oppose the separation of the hero and heroine.
D.They believe that the hero has a chance of survival as well.
（2）According to James Cameron，Jack should have been dead because .
A.it comes up to the fans' expectations
B.the process the screenplay can be satisfied
C.the true story that attracts more fans
D.the core role of the film is the actress not the actor
（3）Which of the following people hold（s） a different viewpoint of Jack's life？
A.Kathy Bates.
B.Winslet.
C.James Cameron.
D.The fans.
（4）According to the passage，which of the following is incorrect？
A.According to the director，the hero is dead on page 147 of the script.
B.If the hero were still alive，the ending of the movie would be meaningless.
C.James Cameron attended the Foundation 2nd Annual Patron of the Artists Awards.
D.Some fans don't want to believe that the hero is dead in the movie.
18．When I became a budget traveler，and I discovered some of the cheapest ways to travel aroundthe world.Don't let money problems stop you from traveling.Here are a few ways to travel
cheap that can help you see the world on a budget.
1.Pay with points
You're smart enough to know money doesn't grow on trees，but earning credit card points and
miles may have you thinking otherwise.
Figure out how much money you regularly spend，and consider making those purchases on a
travel card，like the Chase Sapphire Preferred Card，so that you have the potential to be rewarded
with points and miles every time you swipe.You can redeem（兑换）these rewards for airfare，
hotels and other qualifying expenses.
2.Want to score even cheaper flights？
You may want to subscribe to Scott's Cheap Flights.This email newsletter alerts budget
travelers when airlines hold sales or mistakenly lower their prices.In the past，Scott's Cheap Rights
has notified subscribers about amazing deals like a ﹩260 flight from New York to Paris and a
flight from San Francisco to Bali for ﹩364.
TheFlightDeal.com and SecretFlying.com are two more sites that may be able to help you
find cheap flights，according to Nico Atienza，a front desk agent at the Travel Hacking Cartel.
3.Timing is everything
It's typically easier to find cheap flights when your travel schedule is flexible.
Often，you'll find the best deals when you travel in the middle of the week or take a red﹣eye
flight overnight.If you're prepared to face less﹣than﹣idyllic weather，you could save even more
money on airfare and hotels by traveling during off﹣peak seasons.
"The most important thing is to be flexible on timing"，says Atienza. "The tighter your time
frame，the less chance you're going to get a cheap fare".
It can also help to book early.
4.When you travel together，you can split the costs with your friends and family
There's something to be said about solo travel.
But if you're on a budget，you can split the costs of hotels and rental cars when you travel
with a small group of friends or family.So don't be shy about squeezing into a small motel room or
renting an entire home on Airbnb if it's less expensive per person.
"The optimal party size tends to work out to be four people，" says Atienza.Any more than that and the hotel might charge you for another room.
You should also be able to fit about four people in your rental car，depending on the type of car
you rent.
（1）What is learned from the passage？
A.The airfare from San Francisco to Bali is only ﹩364.
B.You may find cheap flights from TheFlightDeal.com and SecretFlying.com.
C.The tighter your time frame，the more chance you're going to get a cheap fare.
D.Atienza believes that the optimal party size tends to work out to be three people.
（2）According to this article，which of the following is NOT a way to get cheap airline
tickets？
A.Redeem Points for Airline Tickets.
B.Notice the airlines' price reduction and discount emails.
C.Choose off﹣season travel times.
D.Split the costs with your friends and family.
（3）This article is most likely to come from .
A.a travel magazine
B.a speech
C.a promotion email
D.a daily newspaper
19．The books we read when we're young have a special sort of power：they can inspire us to be
brave and resilient （Matilda by Roald Dahi），take us on thrilling adventures （Divergent by
Veronica Roth）and even introduce us to tragedy （The Bridge to Terabithia by Katherine
Paterson）.They're as formative as anything else in our young lives，and sometimes they're the
first place we encounter larger﹣than﹣life ideas.Consider the lasting cultural import of To Kill
a Mockingbird or even the urgency of a newer best seller like I'll Give You the Sun，Jandy
Nelson's 2014 novel centering on a contradictory issue.In The Magic Words，Cheryl B.Klein，
an executive editor at Scholastic whose projects include the last two Harry Potter books，sets
out to inform would﹣be writers on how great novels for young readers work.
The market for YA novels is booming：sales in the children's and YA sector have been neckand neck with those of adult books in recent years，and adult authors，including Meg Wolitzer
（Belzhar） and Carl Hiaasen （Razor Girl），are getting in on the phenomenon.Magic Words
aims to be a master class.If you think it sounds silly，it isn't.In the era of elevated self﹣help
sensations like Marie Kondo and Breníé Brown，The Magic Words is of a piece.
Klein deconstructs the seemingly obvious（clear plotlines，sympathetic characters）to reveal
the technical intricacies of some beloved classics.L.M.Montgomery surely didn't whip up Anne of
Green Gables as a cash﹣in endeavor.But for those who want to capitalize，Anne is instructive：
what's timeless and broadly appealing about Anne ﹣ her teenage heart and impulses ﹣ is what
to examine.Once you understand that.Klein encourages you to get personal：What makes you
ideal to write your story？And what does it mean to the reader？
On the latter question，The Magic Words is more than a handbook.It is also a timely social
commentary on the responsibility YA writers have to young adults.Those who write to a younger
demographic must start with an awareness of their readers ﹣ not only their age but also how
they might connect with the issues，both the mundane （bullies） and the cultural （tolerance）
that characters face.The narratives we tell young readers can influence how they understand and
value the world around them.The magic isn't in the words：it's in how the words come together to
reflect and affirm the realities of a diverse young﹣adult experience.
（1）According to the first paragraph，it can be learned that .
A.The Bridge to Terabithia can inspire us to be brave and resilient
B.Matilda by Roald Dahi can take us on thrilling adventures
C.Divergent by Veronica Roth even introduce us to tragedy
D.To Kill a Mockingbird has lasting cultural significance
（2）Which of the following is NOT true about YA novels？
A.Anne is a master in the field YA novels.
B.Sales in the children's and YA sector have been neck and neck.
C.Adult authors are getting in the field of YA novels.
D.The market for YA novels is booming.
（3）According to the text，the Magic Words is .
A.full of absurd plots and complex narrative structureB.one of the masterpieces of Klein
C.not only a handbook but also a timely social commentary
D.a novel composed of many letters
（4）According to the last paragraph，those writers who write to a younger should .
A.find someone to sponsor their writing
B.fully understand their readership first
C.develop a strategy to meet the market
D.copy the works of historical masters
20．Directions：Read the following passage.Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the
box.Each sentence can be used only once.Note that there are two more sentences than you
need.
A.The higher the price of film ticket is，the more popular it is among youngers.
B.Imagine if you could instead pay less to see films that are not in high demand？
C.One of the first cinema chains to take up this initiative is Dendy.More will follow.
D.Dynamic ticket pricing relies on the quality and trend of the film，varying from one to
another.
E.Dynamic ticket pricing gives the consumer the ability to purchase film tickets at a wider
range of prices.
F.Dynamic pricing benefits cinemas by optimizing the price mix for every screening of every
film.
Coming soon to a cinema near you？Ticket prices shaped by demand
Chances are that if you see just one film this year，you probably saw it already.The period
between Christmas and Australia Day is typically the busiest and most competitive in our film
calendar.But even when you arrive at a ticket counter at a quieter time of year you will usually pay
the same price to see a film irrespective of its popularity，quality or budget size. （1）
A new smart application means this will soon be a reality for some Australian
consumers.Melbourne﹣based start up Choovie will launch a service offering demand﹣based
ticket pricing to filmgoers at the end of March，with over 100 screens across metropolitan and
regional venues in Victoria，NSW and ACT.（2）
Choovie's app will allow consumers to decide，within parameters set by the cinemas，whatprice they pay to see a film.For example，if you don't want to pay more than ﹩10 to see a
particular title and are prepared to compromise on where and when you see it，the app will locate a
suitable session for you.
The emergence of apps such as Choovie is likely to shake up the film industry by
fundamentally changing our experience of going to the movies.
Dynamic （or demand） ticket pricing aims to change this.
So how does dynamic pricing work？
（3） This depends on a number of demand variables，such as movie life cycle，time
of day，day of the week，film title，venue，size of screen，actual bookings and so on.The number
of seats in each price category for every film is based on demand conditions at the time of
purchase.
It works by using"pricing bots"，which adjust prices in real time according to rules set by the
exhibitor and on the basis of information gathered about consumer preferences.Uber's"surge
pricing"is one example of dynamic pricing.Airline tickets are another.
The idea is that instead of offering customers a limited number of ticket categories，the
cinema sells each seat based on the individual customer 's willingness to pay.Patrons can choose
screenings by specifying things such as the amount they are prepared to spend （say，under ﹩
10），the location of the cinema （no more than 10 km from home），the time of day （any time
after 2pm）and so on.Conversely，cinemagoers should also be prepared to pay higher prices for
films that are close to selling out in popular sessions.
（4） It gives them the flexibility to respond to unexpected fluctuations in demand
and encouraging their patrons to pre﹣purchase seats.And it benefits customers by simplifying the
process of finding cheaper cinema tickets and guaranteeing them a reserved seat.
Summary WritingDirections： Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and
the main point（s） of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as
possible.
21．
Scientists Discover Animal Language
It is human beings' pride that we are the only species on the Planet that can speak and
think.However，recent research cast doubt on that common belief.Zuberbuhler，a psychologist at St.Andrews University，and his colleagues recorded thousands
of calls made by Diana monkeys and noticed that the monkeys adapted their calls to change the
meaning to warn one another about different situations.For example，they made a 'krack' alarm
call at the sight of tiger.However，when they merely repeated calls made by other monkeys they
added an 'oo'.
The researchers found that the same calls would be recognised by other species，like
Campbell's monkeys.So they are communicating across species. "And since then we have found
that hornbill birds can understand these calls and they too can understand all the different
meanings"，said Zuberbuhler.
What is also surprising is that signs of intelligence have been found in birds，whose small
brains were long assumed to be a complete barrier to sentence.However，all is changing fast.A few
years ago Irene Pepperberg of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology taught a parrot to
recognise and count up to six objects and describe their shapes，which couldn't have been achieved
if birds were unable to memorize.
Last year，that was topped by Alex Kacelnik，a professor of behavioral ecology at Oxford，
who discovered that crows（乌鸦） are capable of using tools in complex orders，the first time
such behaviour has been observed in non﹣humans.In an experiment seven crows successfully
grabbed a piece of food placed out of reach using three different lengths of stick.Crucially，they
were able to complete the task without any special training，suggesting the birds were capable of a
level of abstract reasoning normally associated only with humans.
All this is powerful evidence against the idea that people are unique.

【解答】DBA
Every year in the U.S.about 133 million pounds of food goes to waste.A lot of it is fruits and
vegetables，like three legged carrots，and faulty strawberries.They are deserted simply because
they are not pretty enough to be displayed on store shelves.If you look at the big picture，about
a third of the planet's food goes to waste for the same reason.That's enough to feed 2 billion people.Now，a company called Imperfect Me is trying to change
that situation.The company collects ugly fruits and vegetables from farmers and markets and
sells them to local residents at a deep discount.It can be 30 to 50% of the regular price.Similar
campaigns are underway in places like Boston，as well as Portugal and the UK.
For now，most chain supermarkets don't carry ugly fruits and vegetables.But Steve Clark's of
Imperfect Me hopes the supermarkets will come around because customers want such food.He
says it is really easy to convince people when they realize they can pay a lower price to get the
same kind of taste and health.
Now listen again.

【解答】CCA Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following passage.
A city in England has started an ambitious plan to plant as many as 1 million trees every yearfor the next decade.The project is called the City of Trees.Project director Tony Brown
explained that the green venture has three main aims.He said，One is to plant a tree for every
man，woman，and child over the next decade.Next，we are very much focused on bringing
existing woodland into management because it doesn't make any sense to plant new woodland
if you can't manage what you've got already.
Finally，we want to engage people a lot more in their natural environment that is implanting
trees in managing areas.And in understanding more about the benefits that trees and woodlands
bring to our society ， Mr.Brown further outlined the reasons for the recently launched
environmental project.He said，"our city wants to be a world class region.We have a lot of
fantastic economic development going on，but the natural environment needs to keep up with
that."
He believes the project will reconnect people with trees and the natural world，provide benefits
to health and reduce stress.He said "woodlands can do great things in terms of air pollution
reduction and can help to protect against noise pollution.They can also help cities and towns
reduce the urban heat island effect and flooding".

Introduction to English as a Second Language Teacher's Book
One of the earliest﹣known inventions is the bow and arrow，which is still used throughout
the world today，15，000 years （1） after it was first invented.Of course，these days，the
bow and arrow （2） is used （use） mainly in sporting events，but in some places it is still
a means of killing animals for food.
In western Asia，another extremely important invention was born﹣the ability to produce
pots.As long as 6500 years ago，people were producing pottery，mostly plain and without
designs，but the technique has changed little since.
Some people say that the wheel is the single most important invention.Early examples from
about 5000 years ago have been found in the forests of Europe.Around 1500 years later，the
Phoenicians used sand，limestone and sodium carbonate to produce （3） something else
which we would be lost without﹣glass.
How many things do you lock with a key every day？Doors，cupboards？The car？We
really don't think much about them，（4） do we？Well，the first example of a lock and keydates back to 2750 years ago，in Assyria.This is a lock on a large wooden door in the palace of
Sargon Ⅱ.
Another amazing invention，which we probably take for granted these days，is the skill of
knitting（5） which first appeared in the Roman Empire，some 1700 years ago.The （6）
earliest （early） examples are knitted socks!
Eye glasses developed from just one lens in a frame，like a simple magnifying glass，way
back in the 13th century.In about 1290，the idea to put two lenses in a frame to sit on the nose was
developed in Florence.And，believe it or not，the modern contact lens is 120 years old!
Time flies and we spend a lot of time（7） checking （check）how much time we have
left!This would be impossible （8） without clocks and watches，（9） which are all around
us：on walls，on our wrists，on our PCs，and even on our mobiles and iPod's.The first pocket
watch was invented by Thomas Tompion（1639﹣1714）in England 330 years ago，and his watch
﹣face design，with two（and sometimes three） hands moving around a single dial， （10） has
remained （remain） largely unchanged in all that time.
【答案】（1）after（2）is used（3）something（4）do（5）which（6）earliest（7）checking
（8）without（9）which（10）has remained
【分析】本文为一篇说明文。文章介绍了人类发展史上一些重要的发明：弓箭、罐、车
轮、玻璃、锁和钥匙、编织、眼镜和钟表。
【解答】（1）after.考查时间状语从句。句意：已知最早的发明之一是弓和箭，在其被发
明15000年后的今天，仍然在世界各地使用。弓箭在发明之后，沿用至今，设空处应用
从属连词after，引导时间状语从句。故填after。
（2）is used.考查动词时态、语态和主谓一致。句意：当然，现在弓箭主要用于体育比赛，
但在一些地方它仍然是一种猎杀动物的手段。设空处为谓语动词，根据时间状语these
days以及后半句的时态，此处应用一般现在时态；动词use与逻辑主语the bow and arrow
为动宾关系，应用被动语态；主语the bow and arrow说的是弓箭这个整体的意思，为单
数，故be动词为is。故填is used。
（3）something.考查不定代词。句意：大约1500年后，腓尼基人用沙子、石灰石和碳酸
钠制造出了别的我们不可或缺的东西﹣﹣玻璃。设空处应填不定代词something，短语
something else，意为"别的东西"符合句意。故填something。
（4）do.考查反义疑问句。句意：我们真的没怎么想过他们，不是吗？此处为反义疑问句，前半句中有do not，为否定句，后面的附加问句应用肯定形式，根据前面的do not，可知
助动词应用do。故填do。
（5）which.考查定语从句。句意：另一项令人惊叹的发明，我们现在可能认为是理所当
然的，就是编织技术，它首先出现在罗马帝国，大约1700年前。the skill of knitting为先
行词，为物，后接限制性定语从句，先行词在从句中作主语，设空处应用关系代词which
或that。故填which/that。
（6）earliest.考查形容词最高级。句意：最早的例子是针织袜子！结合句意可知，"发明"
应该是该物出现最早的时候，编织的手艺首次出现在1700年前的罗马帝国，最早的范例
是织袜子。设空处前面的the，应与形容词最高级连用，early的最高级为earliest，作名
词examples的前置定语。故填earliest。
（7）checking.考查动名词。句意：时间飞逝，我们花了很多时间检查我们还剩下多少时
间！此处涉及动词短语spend...doing...，意为"花……时间做……"，设空处应填动名词形
式。故填checking。
（8）without.考查介词。句意：这一切都是不可能的，如果没有我们身边的钟表——它
们在墙上，在我们的手腕上，在我们的电脑上，甚至在我们的手机和iPod上。句中的this
指代的上一句内容we spend a lot of time checking how much time we have left，根据常识，
查看时间需要用到时钟或者手表，没有时钟或手表将不可能查看时间，因此设空处应填
介词without。故填without。
（9）which.考查定语从句。句意：这一切都是不可能的，如果没有我们身边的钟表——
它们在墙上，在我们的手腕上，在我们的电脑上，甚至在我们的手机和iPod上。clocks and
watches为先行词，为物，后接非限制性定语从句，作从句的主语，应填关系代词which。
故填which。
（10）has remained.考查时态和主谓一致。句意：330 年前，英国的 Thomas Tompion
（1639﹣1714）发明了第一块怀表，他的两根或三根指针围绕表盘运动的设计，一直以
来基本没有改变。his watch﹣face design为主语，后接了介词短语作定语，设空处为谓语
动词，时间状语in all that time，意为"一直以来"，表明：自从发明第一块怀表以来，设
计一直保持不变的状态，可用现在完成时态；主语为第三人称单数，助动词用has。故填
has remained。
【点评】语法填空考查学生英语综合知识的运用，做题时要首先明确短文大意，从词语
搭配，固定句型，语法，时态等方面综合考虑，结合上下文语境找出正确答案。Section B Directions： Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each
word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need.

exercise routine.
One of the most important steps in your fitness routine comes at the conclusion.Many know the
importance of properly warming up and preparing to exercise ， but experts say that

正确的选择。Section B Directions： Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by
several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked
A， B， C and D. Choose the one that fit s best according to the information given in the
passage you have just read.
17．James Cameron，writer﹣director﹣producer of best picture Oscar winner "Titanic"
（1997），has again denied a claim perennially put forth by fans：that there was room for Jack
（Leonardo DiCaprio） to climb aboard the floating door holding Rose （Kate Winslet） and
avoid death by hypothermia （低体温） following the shipwreck in the North Atlantic.
Stating that "it says on page 147 [of the script] that Jack dies，" Cameron，63，told Vanity Fair，
"Obviously it was an artistic choice， [that] the thing was just big enough to hold her，and not big
enough to hold him".Finding it "silly，really，that we're having this discussion 20 years later." the
filmmaker pointed out that ， "Had he lived ， the ending of the film would have been
meaningless...So whether it was that，or whether a smokestack fell on him，he was going down."
He added he believed the physics were correct as well. "I was in the water with the piece of
wood putting people on it for about two days getting it exactly buoyant（漂浮）enough so that it
would support one person with full free﹣board，meaning that she wasn't immersed at all in the 28
degree water，so that she could survive the three hours it took until the rescue ship got there...And
we very，very finely tuned it to be exactly what you see in the movie because I believed at the time，
and still do，that that's what it would have taken for one person to survive."
Winslet and fellow "Titanic" star Kathy Bates suggest otherwise，with Bates at the SAG
AFTRA Foundation 2nd Annual Patron of the Artists Awards on Nov.9 introducing Winslet by
saying，"He lets go of her hand and sinks into the depth of the Atlantic.And I personally think that
there was plenty of room on there!" Winslet agreed，telling the audience lightheartedly， "He
could have fit on it!He could have fit on that door!" She similarly said on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!"
in February 2016 that Jack "could have actually fitted on that bit of door"
As far back as 2012，Cameron toldIGN.com，"It's not a question of room，it's a question of
buoyancy...It's clear that there's really only enough buoyancy available for one person...She's
completely out of the water on the raft，and ...if he got on with her，they'd both be half in and half
out of the water ...and they would have both died of hypothermia."
As well，he had told The Daily Beast in January，"You read page 147 of the script and it says，" Jack gets off the board and gives his place to her so that she can survive "It's that simple".
Referring to a 2012 episode of Discovery's "MythBusters" in which he gamely guest﹣starred，
Cameron told the website，"You're Jack，you're in water that's 28 degrees，your brain is starting to
get hypothermia. 'MythBusters' asks you to now go take off your life vest，take hers off，swim
underneath this thing，attach it in some way that it won't just wash out two minutes later ﹣
which means you're underwater tying this thing on in 28﹣degree water，and that's going to take
you five to 10 minutes，so by the time you come back up you're already dead.So that wouldn't
work.His best choice was to keep his upper body out of the water and hope to get pulled out by a
boat or something before he died."
（1）What question have the fans raised about the plot of the Titanic？ D
A.They think the ending of the story was not good enough.
B.They question the director's level of direction.
C.They oppose the separation of the hero and heroine.
D.They believe that the hero has a chance of survival as well.
（2）According to James Cameron，Jack should have been dead because B .
A.it comes up to the fans' expectations
B.the process the screenplay can be satisfied
C.the true story that attracts more fans
D.the core role of the film is the actress not the actor
（3）Which of the following people hold（s） a different viewpoint of Jack's life？ C
A.Kathy Bates.
B.Winslet.
C.James Cameron.
D.The fans.
（4）According to the passage，which of the following is incorrect？ C
A.According to the director，the hero is dead on page 147 of the script.
B.If the hero were still alive，the ending of the movie would be meaningless.
C.James Cameron attended the Foundation 2nd Annual Patron of the Artists Awards.
D.Some fans don't want to believe that the hero is dead in the movie.【答案】DBCC
【分析】本文主要讲述了奥斯卡最佳影片《泰坦尼克号》的编剧、导演、制片人詹姆斯•
卡梅隆再次否认了影迷们长期以来提出的一个说法：在北大西洋海难发生后，杰克有空
间登上扶着罗斯的浮门，避免她体温过低死亡。
【解答】（1）D.推理判断题。根据第二段中的Stating that "it says on page 147 [of the script]
that Jack dies，" Cameron，63，told Vanity Fair， "Obviously it was an artistic choice， [that]
the thing was just big enough to hold her，and not big enough to hold him".Finding it "silly，
really，that we're having this discussion 20 years later." the filmmaker pointed out that， "Had
he lived，the ending of the film would have been meaningless...So whether it was that，or
whether a smokestack fell on him，he was going down."（63岁的卡梅隆在接受《名利场》
杂志采访时表示："剧本147页上写着杰克去世的消息。很明显，这是一个艺术上的选择，
这个东西只够容纳她，而不够容纳他。"发现这"很傻，真的，我们20年后才讨论这个问
题"，电影制作人指出，"如果他还活着，电影的结局将毫无意义……。所以，不管是这
样，还是一个烟囱压在他身上，他都要倒下了。）可推断，粉丝们对泰坦尼克号的情节提
出的问题是：他们相信英雄也有生存的机会。故选D。
（2）B.细节理解题。根据第二段中的Stating that "it says on page 147 [of the script] that Jack
dies，" Cameron，63，told Vanity Fair， "Obviously it was an artistic choice， [that] the thing
was just big enough to hold her，and not big enough to hold him".（63岁的卡梅隆在接受《名
利场》采访时说："剧本第147页说杰克死了。很明显，这是一种艺术选择，它只够容纳
她，而不够容纳他。"）可知，根据詹姆斯•卡梅隆的说法，杰克应该已经死了，因为剧
本的制作过程可以得到满足。故选B。
（3）C.推理判断题。根据第四段前两句Winslet and fellow "Titanic" star Kathy Bates suggest
otherwise，with Bates at the SAG AFTRA Foundation 2nd Annual Patron of the Artists
Awards on Nov.9 introducing Winslet by saying，"He lets go of her hand and sinks into the
depth of the Atlantic.And I personally think that there was plenty of room on there!" （温斯
莱特和《泰坦尼克号》的演员凯西•贝茨则不这么认为。11月9日，贝茨在美国演员工会
基金会（SAG AFTRA Foundation）第二届年度艺人奖颁奖典礼上介绍温斯莱特时说："他
松开了她的手，沉入了大西洋深处。"我个人认为还有足够的空间！"）以及前文讲述影
迷们对卡梅隆的质疑可知，温斯莱特、凯西•贝茨和影迷们观点相同，所以排除ABD选
项。故选C。（4）C.细节理解题。根据第四段第一句Winslet and fellow "Titanic" star Kathy Bates suggest
otherwise，with Bates at the SAG AFTRA Foundation 2nd Annual Patron of the Artists
Awards on Nov.9 introducing Winslet by saying，"He lets go of her hand and sinks into the
depth of the Atlantic.（温斯莱特和《泰坦尼克号》的另一位主演凯西•贝茨则不这么认为。
贝茨在11月9日举行的美国演员工会AFTRA基金会第二届年度艺术家奖颁奖典礼上介
绍温丝莱特时说："他放开了她的手，沉入了大西洋的深处。）可知，温斯莱特和凯西•贝
茨出席了基金会第二届年度资助艺术家奖，但并没有说卡梅隆去了，所以C选项表述错
误。故选C。

18．When I became a budget traveler，and I discovered some of the cheapest ways to travel around
the world.Don't let money problems stop you from traveling.Here are a few ways to travel
cheap that can help you see the world on a budget.
1.Pay with points
You're smart enough to know money doesn't grow on trees，but earning credit card points and
miles may have you thinking otherwise.
Figure out how much money you regularly spend，and consider making those purchases on a
travel card，like the Chase Sapphire Preferred Card，so that you have the potential to be rewarded
with points and miles every time you swipe.You can redeem（兑换）these rewards for airfare，
hotels and other qualifying expenses.
2.Want to score even cheaper flights？
You may want to subscribe to Scott's Cheap Flights.This email newsletter alerts budget
travelers when airlines hold sales or mistakenly lower their prices.In the past，Scott's Cheap Rights
has notified subscribers about amazing deals like a ﹩260 flight from New York to Paris and a
flight from San Francisco to Bali for ﹩364.
TheFlightDeal.com and SecretFlying.com are two more sites that may be able to help you
find cheap flights，according to Nico Atienza，a front desk agent at the Travel Hacking Cartel.
3.Timing is everythingIt's typically easier to find cheap flights when your travel schedule is flexible.
Often，you'll find the best deals when you travel in the middle of the week or take a red﹣eye
flight overnight.If you're prepared to face less﹣than﹣idyllic weather，you could save even more
money on airfare and hotels by traveling during off﹣peak seasons.
"The most important thing is to be flexible on timing"，says Atienza. "The tighter your time
frame，the less chance you're going to get a cheap fare".
It can also help to book early.
4.When you travel together，you can split the costs with your friends and family
There's something to be said about solo travel.
But if you're on a budget，you can split the costs of hotels and rental cars when you travel
with a small group of friends or family.So don't be shy about squeezing into a small motel room or
renting an entire home on Airbnb if it's less expensive per person.
"The optimal party size tends to work out to be four people，" says Atienza.
Any more than that and the hotel might charge you for another room.
You should also be able to fit about four people in your rental car，depending on the type of car
you rent.
（1）What is learned from the passage？ B
A.The airfare from San Francisco to Bali is only ﹩364.
B.You may find cheap flights from TheFlightDeal.com and SecretFlying.com.
C.The tighter your time frame，the more chance you're going to get a cheap fare.
D.Atienza believes that the optimal party size tends to work out to be three people.
（2）According to this article，which of the following is NOT a way to get cheap airline
tickets？ D
A.Redeem Points for Airline Tickets.
B.Notice the airlines' price reduction and discount emails.
C.Choose off﹣season travel times.
D.Split the costs with your friends and family.
（3）This article is most likely to come from A .
A.a travel magazineB.a speech
C.a promotion email
D.a daily newspaper
【答案】BDA
【分析】本文是一篇广告布告类应用文，主要讲的是一些省钱旅行的方法，可以帮助你
省钱看世界。
【解答】（1）B.细节理解题。根据文中 2.Want to score even cheaper flights？部分中的
TheFlightDeal.com and SecretFlying.com are two more sites that may be able to help you find
cheap flights（TheFlightDeal.com和SecretFlying.com是另外两个可以帮助你找到便宜航
班的网站。）可知你可以在TheFlightDeal.com和SecretFlying.com上找到便宜的航班。故
选B。
（2）D.细节理解题。根据文中4.When you travel together，you can split the costs with your
friends and family部分中的 when you travel with a small group of friends or family.（当你
和一小群朋友或家人一起旅行时。）可知，当你们一起旅行时，你可以和你的朋友和家人
分摊费用。这个可以省钱但是并不能帮助你获得廉价机票，故选D。
（3）A.文章出处题。根据第一段中的Here are a few ways to travel cheap that can help you
see the world on a budget.（这里有一些便宜的旅行方式，可以帮助你省钱看世界。）后文
围绕这一话题展开，全文和旅游相关。可知，本文很可能来自于一本旅游杂志。故选A。

19．The books we read when we're young have a special sort of power：they can inspire us to be
brave and resilient （Matilda by Roald Dahi），take us on thrilling adventures （Divergent by
Veronica Roth）and even introduce us to tragedy （The Bridge to Terabithia by Katherine
Paterson）.They're as formative as anything else in our young lives，and sometimes they're the
first place we encounter larger﹣than﹣life ideas.Consider the lasting cultural import of To Kill
a Mockingbird or even the urgency of a newer best seller like I'll Give You the Sun，Jandy
Nelson's 2014 novel centering on a contradictory issue.In The Magic Words，Cheryl B.Klein，
an executive editor at Scholastic whose projects include the last two Harry Potter books，setsout to inform would﹣be writers on how great novels for young readers work.
The market for YA novels is booming：sales in the children's and YA sector have been neck
and neck with those of adult books in recent years，and adult authors，including Meg Wolitzer
（Belzhar） and Carl Hiaasen （Razor Girl），are getting in on the phenomenon.Magic Words
aims to be a master class.If you think it sounds silly，it isn't.In the era of elevated self﹣help
sensations like Marie Kondo and Breníé Brown，The Magic Words is of a piece.
Klein deconstructs the seemingly obvious（clear plotlines，sympathetic characters）to reveal
the technical intricacies of some beloved classics.L.M.Montgomery surely didn't whip up Anne of
Green Gables as a cash﹣in endeavor.But for those who want to capitalize，Anne is instructive：
what's timeless and broadly appealing about Anne ﹣ her teenage heart and impulses ﹣ is what
to examine.Once you understand that.Klein encourages you to get personal：What makes you
ideal to write your story？And what does it mean to the reader？
On the latter question，The Magic Words is more than a handbook.It is also a timely social
commentary on the responsibility YA writers have to young adults.Those who write to a younger
demographic must start with an awareness of their readers ﹣ not only their age but also how
they might connect with the issues，both the mundane （bullies） and the cultural （tolerance）
that characters face.The narratives we tell young readers can influence how they understand and
value the world around them.The magic isn't in the words：it's in how the words come together to
reflect and affirm the realities of a diverse young﹣adult experience.
（1）According to the first paragraph，it can be learned that D .
A.The Bridge to Terabithia can inspire us to be brave and resilient
B.Matilda by Roald Dahi can take us on thrilling adventures
C.Divergent by Veronica Roth even introduce us to tragedy
D.To Kill a Mockingbird has lasting cultural significance
（2）Which of the following is NOT true about YA novels？ A
A.Anne is a master in the field YA novels.
B.Sales in the children's and YA sector have been neck and neck.
C.Adult authors are getting in the field of YA novels.
D.The market for YA novels is booming.（3）According to the text，the Magic Words is C .
A.full of absurd plots and complex narrative structure
B.one of the masterpieces of Klein
C.not only a handbook but also a timely social commentary
D.a novel composed of many letters
（4）According to the last paragraph，those writers who write to a younger should B .
A.find someone to sponsor their writing
B.fully understand their readership first
C.develop a strategy to meet the market
D.copy the works of historical masters
【答案】DACB
【分析】本文主要写了青少年小说的市场正蓬勃发展，和作家对年轻人的责任。
【解答】（1）D.细节理解题。根据第一段Consider the lasting cultural import of To Kill a
Mockingbird or even the urgency of a newer best seller like I'll Give You the Sun，Jandy
Nelson's 2014 novel centering on a contradictory issue.（想想《杀死一只知更鸟》的持久文
化意义，甚至是像《我给你太阳》这样一本更新的畅销书的紧迫性，詹迪•纳尔逊（Jandy
Nelson）2014年的小说围绕着一个矛盾的问题展开。）可知《杀死一只知更鸟》有经久不
衰的文化意义，故选D。
（2）A.细节理解题。根据第二段The market for YA novels is booming：sales in the children's
and YA sector have been neck and neck with those of adult books in recent years，and adult
authors，including Meg Wolitzer （Belzhar） and Carl Hiaasen （Razor Girl），are getting in
on the phenomenon.（YA小说的市场正在蓬勃发展：近年来，儿童和YA领域的销量与
成人书籍不相上下，包括梅格•沃利策（Meg Wolitzer，Belzhar）和卡尔•希亚森（Carl
Hiaasen，剃须刀女郎）在内的成人作家也参与了这一现象。）可知青少年小说的市场正蓬
勃发展，近年来青少年小说在儿童和青少年领域销售与成年书籍不相上下，一些成年人
作家也加入这些行列，故选A。
（3）C.细节理解题。根据最后一段The Magic Words is more than a handbook.It is also a
timely social commentary on the responsibility YA writers have to young adults.（《神奇词汇》
不仅仅是一本手册。这也是一篇及时的社会评论，阐述了作家对年轻人的责任。）可知
《神奇词汇》不仅是一本手册，这也是一篇及时的社会评论，故选C。（4）B.细节理解题。根据最后一段.Those who write to a younger demographic must start
with an awareness of their readers ﹣ not only their age but also how they might connect with
the issues，both the mundane （bullies） and the cultural （tolerance） that characters face
（那些给年轻人写信的人必须首先了解他们的读者﹣﹣﹣不仅是他们的年龄，而且还要
了解他们可能如何与人物所面临的世俗和文化问题联系起来。）可知给年轻读者写书的人
必须首先了解他们的读者，故选B。

20．Directions：Read the following passage.Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the
box.Each sentence can be used only once.Note that there are two more sentences than you
need.
A.The higher the price of film ticket is，the more popular it is among youngers.
B.Imagine if you could instead pay less to see films that are not in high demand？
C.One of the first cinema chains to take up this initiative is Dendy.More will follow.
D.Dynamic ticket pricing relies on the quality and trend of the film，varying from one to
another.
E.Dynamic ticket pricing gives the consumer the ability to purchase film tickets at a wider
range of prices.
F.Dynamic pricing benefits cinemas by optimizing the price mix for every screening of every
film.
Coming soon to a cinema near you？Ticket prices shaped by demand
Chances are that if you see just one film this year，you probably saw it already.The period
between Christmas and Australia Day is typically the busiest and most competitive in our film
calendar.But even when you arrive at a ticket counter at a quieter time of year you will usually pay
the same price to see a film irrespective of its popularity，quality or budget size. （1） B
A new smart application means this will soon be a reality for some Australian
consumers.Melbourne﹣based start up Choovie will launch a service offering demand﹣based
ticket pricing to filmgoers at the end of March，with over 100 screens across metropolitan andregional venues in Victoria，NSW and ACT.（2） C
Choovie's app will allow consumers to decide，within parameters set by the cinemas，what
price they pay to see a film.For example，if you don't want to pay more than ﹩10 to see a
particular title and are prepared to compromise on where and when you see it，the app will locate a
suitable session for you.
The emergence of apps such as Choovie is likely to shake up the film industry by
fundamentally changing our experience of going to the movies.
Dynamic （or demand） ticket pricing aims to change this.
So how does dynamic pricing work？
（3） E This depends on a number of demand variables，such as movie life cycle，time of
day，day of the week，film title，venue，size of screen，actual bookings and so on.The number
of seats in each price category for every film is based on demand conditions at the time of
purchase.
It works by using"pricing bots"，which adjust prices in real time according to rules set by the
exhibitor and on the basis of information gathered about consumer preferences.Uber's"surge
pricing"is one example of dynamic pricing.Airline tickets are another.
The idea is that instead of offering customers a limited number of ticket categories，the
cinema sells each seat based on the individual customer 's willingness to pay.Patrons can choose
screenings by specifying things such as the amount they are prepared to spend （say，under ﹩
10），the location of the cinema （no more than 10 km from home），the time of day （any time
after 2pm）and so on.Conversely，cinemagoers should also be prepared to pay higher prices for
films that are close to selling out in popular sessions.
（4） F It gives them the flexibility to respond to unexpected fluctuations in demand and
encouraging their patrons to pre﹣purchase seats.And it benefits customers by simplifying the
process of finding cheaper cinema tickets and guaranteeing them a reserved seat.
【答案】BCEF
【分析】这是一篇说明文。作者介绍了实施动态票价的好处。
【解答】（1）推理判断题。根据前文Chances are that if you see just one film this year，you
probably saw it already.The period between Christmas and Australia Day is typically the
busiest and most competitive in our film calendar.But even when you arrive at a ticket counterat a quieter time of year you will usually pay the same price to see a film irrespective of its
popularity，quality or budget size（如果你今年只看一部电影，你可能已经看过了。圣诞节
和澳大利亚日之间的这段时间通常是我们电影日历上最繁忙、最具竞争力的时期。但即
使你在一年中比较安静的时候到达售票处，你通常也会花同样的价格去看一部影片，无
论它的受欢迎程度、质量或预算大小），以及后句A new smart application means this will
soon be a reality for some Australian consumers（一个新的智能应用程序意味着这将很快
成为一些澳大利亚消费者的现实），可知表示"想象一下，如果你能花更少的钱去看需求
不高的电影"的选项B可以承接前文看电影的话题，引出后一段介绍一个新的智能应用程
序，这个智能应用程序可以让你花更少的钱去看需求不高的电影，故选B。
（2）推理判断题。根据前句Melbourne﹣based start up Choovie will launch a service offering
demand﹣based ticket pricing to filmgoers at the end of March，with over 100 screens across
metropolitan and regional venues in Victoria，NSW and ACT（总部位于墨尔本的初创公司
Choovie将于3月底推出一项服务，为电影观众提供基于需求的票价，在维多利亚州、新
南威尔士州和澳大利亚首都直辖区的大都市和地区场馆拥有100多个屏幕），可知表示
"Dendy是最早采取这一举措的连锁影院之一。接下来还会有更多"的选项C可以承接前
文采用这个程序的公司，举例说明这样的影院，故选C。
（3）主题判断题。根据小标题So how does dynamic pricing work（那么，动态定价是如
何运作的呢）；以及后文This depends on a number of demand variables，such as movie life
cycle，time of day，day of the week，film title，venue，size of screen，actual bookings and
so on.The number of seats in each price category for every film is based on demand conditions
at the time of purchase（这取决于许多需求变量，如电影生命周期、一天中的时间、一周
中的哪一天、电影名称、场地、屏幕大小、实际预订等。每部电影在每个价格类别中的
座位数量取决于购买时的需求条件），可知表示"动态票价使消费者能够以更广泛的价格
购买电影票"的选项E可以承接前面的标题，引出后文对于动态票价使消费者能够以更广
泛的价格购买电影票的解释，故选E。
（4）主题判断题。根据后文It gives them the flexibility to respond to unexpected fluctuations
in demand and encouraging their patrons to pre﹣purchase seats.And it benefits customers by
simplifying the process of finding cheaper cinema tickets and guaranteeing them a reserved
seat（它使他们能够灵活应对需求的意外波动，并鼓励顾客预购座位。它还简化了寻找更
便宜电影票的过程，并保证他们有一个预定座位，从而使顾客受益），可知表示"动态定价通过优化每部电影每次放映的价格组合，使影院受益"的选项F可以作为本段的主题，
介绍动态定价使影院受益，故选F。

Scientists Discover Animal Language
It is human beings' pride that we are the only species on the Planet that can speak and
think.However，recent research cast doubt on that common belief.
Zuberbuhler，a psychologist at St.Andrews University，and his colleagues recorded thousands
of calls made by Diana monkeys and noticed that the monkeys adapted their calls to change the
meaning to warn one another about different situations.For example，they made a 'krack' alarm
call at the sight of tiger.However，when they merely repeated calls made by other monkeys they
added an 'oo'.
The researchers found that the same calls would be recognised by other species，like
Campbell's monkeys.So they are communicating across species. "And since then we have found
that hornbill birds can understand these calls and they too can understand all the different
meanings"，said Zuberbuhler.
What is also surprising is that signs of intelligence have been found in birds，whose small
brains were long assumed to be a complete barrier to sentence.However，all is changing fast.A few
years ago Irene Pepperberg of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology taught a parrot to
recognise and count up to six objects and describe their shapes，which couldn't have been achieved
if birds were unable to memorize.
Last year，that was topped by Alex Kacelnik，a professor of behavioral ecology at Oxford，
who discovered that crows（乌鸦） are capable of using tools in complex orders，the first time
such behaviour has been observed in non﹣humans.In an experiment seven crows successfully
grabbed a piece of food placed out of reach using three different lengths of stick.Crucially，theywere able to complete the task without any special training，suggesting the birds were capable of a
level of abstract reasoning normally associated only with humans.
All this is powerful evidence against the idea that people are unique.
_______

audience.Moreover，chances are that we may have an album with performers autographs on it.You
should never miss such a fabulous concert !

will be available on that day so that he can drive us to the scene.I have managed to persuade him
to make his promise.In addition，in case of a rainy day，I have prepared two raincoats.I am
confident that we will indulge ourselves into the elegant flow of notes.
I am looking forward to hearing your reply.
Yours，
