An animal that is aware (意识) of itself has a high level of intelligence.‎ ‎ Awareness can be tested by studying whether the animal recognizes itself in the mirror, that is, its own reflected image (反射出的影像). Many animals fail this exercise bitterly, paying very little attention to the reflected image. Only humans,and some intelligent animals like apes and dolphins,have been shown to recognize that the image in the mirror is of themselves.‎ Now another animal has joined the club. In the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, researchers report that an Asian elephant has passed the mirror selfreflection test. ‎ ‎“We thought that elephants were the next important animal,”said Diana Reiss of the Wildlife Conservation Society, an author of the study with Joshua M. Plotnik and Fans B. M. de Waal of Emory‎ ‎University. With their large brains,Reiss said, elephants “seemed like cousins to apes and dolphins.”‎ The researchers tested Happy. Maxine and Patty, three elephants at the Bronx Zoo. They put an 8footsquare mirror on a wall of the animals' play area (out of the sight of zoo visitors) and recorded what happened with cameras, including one built in the mirror.‎ The elephants used their long noses to find what was behind it,and to examine parts of their bodies.‎ Of the three, Happy then passed the test,in which a clear mark was painted on one side of her face. She could tell the mark was there by looking in the mirror, and she used the mirror to touch the mark with her long nose.‎ Diana Reiss said,“We knew elephants were intelligent, but now we can talk about their intelligence in a better way.”‎ 文章通过实验说明能意识到自身形象的动物具有高智商。‎ ‎1. What can mirror tests tell us about animals?‎ A. Whether they have large brains. B. Whether they have selfawareness.‎ C. Whether they enjoy outdoor exercises. D. Whether they enjoy playing with mirrors.‎ 答案:B。细节理解题。由文章第二段第一句话“Awareness can be tested by...”可知B项正确。‎ ‎2. Why does the author mention apes and dolphins in the text?‎ A. They are most familiar to readers.‎ B. They are big favorites with zoo visitors.‎ C. They are included in the study by Reiss.‎ D. They are already known to be intelligent.‎ 答案:D。推理判断题。由第二段最后一句可知人们已经知道apes和dolphins是聪明的。‎ ‎3. What made Happy different from Maxine and Patty?‎ A. She used her nose to search behind the mirror.‎ B. She recognized her own image in the mirror.‎ C. She painted a mark on her own face.‎ D. She found the hidden camera.‎ 答案:B。推理判断题。由倒数第二段可推出Happy能辨别出自己在镜子中的形象。‎ 阅读理解。阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。‎ It is often necessary to release a fish, that is , set it free after catching, because it is too small, or you just don’t want to take it home to eat. In some cases, releasing fish is a good measure that will help keep fish variety and build their population size. The Department of Game and Inland Fisheries (DGIF) encourages fishermen who practice catch-and-release fishing to use a few simple skills when doing so. The advice provided below will help make sure that the fish you release will survive (存活) to bite again another day. —When catching a fish, play it quickly and keep the fish in the water as much as possible.   Don’t use a net in landing the fish and release it quickly to prevent it from dying. —Hold the fish gently. Do not put your fingers in its eyes. Don’t wipe the scales (鱼鳞) off the  fish because it might cause it to develop a disease and reduce its chance of survival. —Remove your hook (鱼钩) quickly. If the hook is too deep or hooked in the stomach, cut the   line and leave the hook in. The hook left inside will cause no serious problem to the fish. —Take good care of the fish by moving it gently in water . Release the fish when it begins ‎ to  struggle and is able to swim. —Do not hold fish in a bucket or some other containers and later decide to release it. If you are  going to release a fish, do so right away. With a little care and by following the suggestions given above, you can give the released fish a better chance of survival.‎ ‎64.

Many television companies have used sports to attract viewers from particular sections of the general public, and then they have sold audiences to advertisers.‎ ‎ An attraction of sport programs for the major U. S.‎ media companies is that events are often held on Saturday and Sunday afternoons—the slowest time periods of the week for general television viewing. Sport events are the most popular weekend programs, especially among male viewers who may not watch much television at other times during the week. This means the television networks are able to sell advertising time at relatively high prices during what normally would be dead time for programming.‎ ‎ Media corporations also use sports to attract commercial sponsors that might take their advertising dollars elsewhere if television stations did not report certain sports. The people in the advertising departments of major corporations realize that sports attract male ‎ viewers. They also realize that most business travelers are men and that many men make family decisions on the purchases of computers, cars and life insurance.‎ ‎ Golf and tennis are special cases for television programming. These sports attract few viewers, and the ratings (收视率) are unusually low. However, the audience for these sports is attractive to certain advertisers. It is made up of people from the highest income groups in the United States, including many lawyers and business managers. This is why television reporting of golf and tennis is sponsored by companies selling highpriced cars, business and personal computers, and holiday trips. This is also why the networks continue to carry these programs regardless of low ratings. Advertisers are willing to pay high fees to reach highincome consumers and those managers who make decisions to buy thousands of “company cars” and computers. With such viewers, these programs don't need high ratings to stay on the air. ‎ ‎ 41. Television sport programs on weekend afternoons ________.‎ ‎ A.result in more sport events ‎ B.get more viewers to play sports ‎ C.make more people interested in television ‎ D.bring more money to the television networks ‎ 42. Why would weekend afternoons become dead time without sport programs?‎ ‎ A.Because there would be few viewers.‎ ‎ B.Because the advertisers would be off work.‎ ‎ C.Because television programs would go slowly.‎ ‎ D.Because viewers would pay less for watching television.‎ ‎ 43. In many families, men make decisions on ________. ‎ ‎ A.holiday trips ‎ B.sports viewing ‎ C.television shopping ‎ ‎ D.expensive purchases ‎ 44. The ratings are not important for golf and tennis programs because ________.‎ ‎ A.their advertisers are carmakers ‎ B.their viewers are attracted by sports ‎ C.their advertisers target at rich people ‎ D.their viewers can afford expensive cars ‎ 45. What is the passage mainly about?‎ ‎ A.Television ratings are determined by male viewers.‎ ‎ B.Rich viewers contribute most to television companies.‎ ‎ C.Sports are gaining importance in advertising on television.‎ ‎ D.Commercial advertisers are the major sponsors of sport events.‎ ‎【要点综述】本文讲述的是通过在星期六和星期日的下午播放一些电视节目来吸引那些高收入的人来看,给广告带来了极大的效益。说明体育在电视广告中起着很重要的作用。‎ ‎41.
