【题目】For those who study the development of intelligence（智力）in the animal world, self-awareness is an important measurement. 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 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 self-reflection test.
“We thought that elephants were the next important animal,” said Dinana 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 8-foot-square 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."
【1】What can mirror tests tell us about animals?
A. Whether they have self-awareness.
B. Whether they have large brains.
C. Whether they enjoy outdoor exercises.
D. Whether they enjoy playing with mirrors.
【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 already known to be intelligent.
D. They are included in the study by Reiss.
【3】What made Happy different from Maxine and Patty?
A. She used her nose to search behind the mirror.
B. She painted a mark on her own face.
C. She recognized her own image in the mirror.
D. She found the hidden camera.
【答案】self-awareness is an important measurement …like apes and dolphins，recognize that the image in the mirror is of themselves.C选项They are already known to be intelligent.
【3】C
细节理解题。由第七段第一句"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．"可知 Happy 通过镜子看到自己脸上的记号，并且通过照镜子能知道记号的位置并且用它的长鼻子去摸了那个记号。由此可知Happy能认出自己在镜子中的自己，而 Maxine 和 Patty 没有。由此可判断出happy与它们的不同，故正确答案为C项。
【解析】本文主要讲述了人类通过研究动物是否能够认出镜中的自己，即自己反射出的影像来测试意识。事实证明，只有人类和一些高智商的动物，如猿和海豚，能够辨认出镜中的影像就是自己．
【1】A
细节理解题。由第二段第一句"Awareness can be tested by studying whether the animal recognizes itself in the mirror"可以通过研究动物是否能够认出镜中的自己，即是否能认出自己反射出的影像来测试意识． 可知正确答案为A。
【2】C
此题属于推理判断题中的（4）根据事实细节，推断合理信息。答案需要从文章的。 "For those who study the development of intelligence in the animal world，self-awareness is an important measurement．"和"Only humans and some intelligent animals like apes and dolphins，have been shown to recognize that the image in the mirror is of themselves．"进行推断。
【答案定位】由第一段第一句"For those who study the development of intelligence in the animal world，self-awareness is an important measurement．"可知，自我意识是衡量智力的一个重要标准．而第二段"Only humans and some intelligent animals like apes and dolphins，have been shown to recognize that the image in the mirror is of themselves．"告诉我们只有大猩猩和海豚能像人类一样通过镜像测试，所以他们是有较高智力的。
【推理关系】题干Why does the author mention apes and dolphins in the text?I.文章内容"For those who study the development of intelligence in the animal world，self-awareness is an important measurement．"和"Only humans and some intelligent animals like apes and dolphins，have been shown to recognize that the image in the mirror is of themselves．"

【题目】Many people go to school for an education. They learn languages, history, geography, physics, chemistry and mathematics. Others go to school to learn a skill so that they can make a living. School education is very important and useful. Yet no one can learn everything they want to know. The teacher’s job is to show his students how to learn. He teaches them how to read and how to think. So, much more is to be learned outside school by the students themselves.
It is always more important to know how to study by oneself than to memorize some facts or a formula (公式). It is usually quite easy to learn a certain fact in history or a formula in mathematics. But it is very difficult to use a formula in working out a maths problem. Great scientists, such as Einstein, Newton and Galileo didn’t get anything from school. But they were all so successful. They invented so many things for mankind.
The reason for their success is that they knew how to study. They read books that were not taught at school. They worked hard all their lives, wasting not a single moment. They would ask many questions as they read and they did thousands of experiments.
Above all, they knew how to use their brains.
【1】Many people go to school for an education. But some others go to school for .
A. enjoying themselves B. learning subjects
C. learning a skill D. making a living
【2】A teacher’s job is mainly to train his students to master the ability of .
A. learning by themselves B. making a living
C. reading and thinking D. studying all the subjects
【3】Using a formula in working out a maths problem is memorizing it.
A. much easier than B. more difficult than
C. as easy as D. as difficult as
【4】The scientists were successful because .
A. they read books that were not taught at school B. they worked all their lives
