    B

    Have you heard of the saying, “Elephants never forget”? We can know that elephants have good memories, But do you know monkeys have good memories, too?

    Monkeys can recollect what they’ve seen, according to a science study. It offers clear evidence (证据) that monkeys have ability of memory like humans.

    Scientists found out that monkeys can recall simple shapes from memory. They even can draw those shapes on a computer touch screen.

    Scientists say that findings suggest that the memory of humans and monkeys is more similar than scientists knew. Monkeys can recall. Recall is necessary for planning and imagining, and can increase social behavior and other skills. By recalling, monkeys show an ability to remember things that are not present at the moment.

    A scientist named Benjamin Basile said, “The ability of monkeys to recall these shapes suggests that they might be able to recollect other kinds of information that would be useful to them in the wild. They may be able to recollect the appearance of things they knew, what their favorite foods look like, or the path they would have to take to a pond.

    The scientists say that the ability to recollect does not depend on language. The ability may have been present in our common ancestor (祖先) million years ago.

    1.After reading the first paragraph, we can know ______.

    A. only elephants have good memories

    B. only monkeys have good memories

    C. both elephants and monkeys have good memories

    D. neither elephants nor monkeys have good memories

    2.The underlined word “recollect” has the same meaning as the word “______”.

    B. Monkeys can not draw shapes they saw on a computer touch screen.

    C. Monkeys may be able to recall what their favorite food look like.

    D. Monkeys may be able to recall the path they would have to take.

    From Asia to America and everywhere in between, Swing-an energetic form of dance that includes six-step and eight-step rhythms(节奏) - has taken the world by storm. Making a recent comeback, swing dance floors have popped up all over the world. Many clubs make fans of Swing happy by holding nights when swing music is played, and sometimes even offering classes to attract customers.

    Though Swing is now popular worldwide, it first appeared alongside the jazz movements of the 1920s and 1930s in New York City. While listening to jazz, the young black people of that time developed the movements of the Lindy Hop - a style of dance that is best known for a break away or ‘swing out’ move and sudden improvisation(即兴表演).

    It was reportedly given this name when a reporter was interviewing a person at the dance hall who was watching other couples dance. When asked what that dance was called, the watcher looked at a newspaper next to him that had an article about Lindbergh- the first person to fly alone across the Atlantic(大西洋)-which was titled, ‘Lindy Hops the Atlantic’. Then the watcher announced that the ‘Lindy Hop’ was the name of the dance, and it has stuck since then.

    In 1926, the Savoy Ballroom was the first large business to offer a place for people to listen to swing music and dance. With its huge dance floor, the Savoy became a big success overnight, attracting some of the best dancers and musicians in the New York area.

    Within ten years, the Lindy Hops was sweeping through the United States and became a symbol of unity, as young people of all racial(种族的)backgrounds crowded into dance halls to swing the night away. Traditional dance teachers did not welcome it because they thought it was not even a real dance and were quite sure about its demise but Swing has proved them wrong; it continues to be one of the world’s most fun dances.

    1.The writing purpose of this passage is __________.

    A. to introduce a popular form of dance

    B. to discover the fun secrets of a dance

    C. to tell stories about an energetic dance

    D. to describe the special moves of a dance

    2.Which of the following words has the closest meaning to ‘demise’?

    A. Challenge. B. Change. C. Development. D. Death.

    3.What can we learn about Swing?

    A. It’s a lively dance with strict rules.

    B. It has a close connection to a pilot.

    C. It has a history of around 90 years.

    D. It attracts mostly young black people.

    4.What can we infer(推断)from the passage?

    A. The dance style will soon be accepted by traditional dance teachers.

    B. The name was changed from ‘Lindy Hop’ to ‘Swing’ in the 1940s.

    C. The movements of different Swing dancers always look the same.

    D. The dance might have become unpopular sometime in its history.
