【题目】The chimp didn’t feel well. She fell over, ignoring the other wild chimps. Finally, the sick chimp crawled over to a bush, picked some leaves and swallowed them. By the next afternoon, the chimp was as good as new!

Biologists watching the chimp were surprised. Somehow, the plant had cured the chimp! Did the chimp know the plant would make her feel better? Or was it just a lucky accident?

Many scientists don’t think it has anything to do with luck. They’re discovering that some animals seem to use plants to cure themselves. And these animals are leading scientists to new plants that could cure humans!

Dr. Richard Wrangham, an anthropologist at Harvard University, agrees that animals may know something we don’t know about forest plants.

Wrangham got to know chimps and their diets while studying them for three years in Tanzania. “You must know a lot about an animal’s feeding habits to know what it doesn’t consider food,” Wrangham explains. Every morning, he saw that most chimps ate fruit near their nests. Later on, they ate on leaves.

When he noticed chimps eating the leaves of a plant they usually ignored, Wrangham thought something interesting was going on---especially when he saw that they’d sometimes walk for 20 minutes to find the plant. Another strange thing that caught his eye was how they ate the bitter leaves.

“They swallowed the leaves whole,” explains Wrangham, noting that chimps usually chew their food well. “They seemed to rub(摩擦)the leaves around the roofs of their mouths. They closed their eyes, wrinkled their noses and swallowed slowly.

Wrangham wondered what could be so good about something tasting so bad. He had a chemist analyze the leaves. He discovered that the leaves contain a red oil that kills different viruses(病毒). Later tests showed that the oil might even fight cancer and the AIDS virus!

Why don’t the chimps chew the leaves? “Rubbing the leaves between the tongue and the inside of the mouth might allow the chemicals to enter the bloodstream directly,” he suggests, “instead of going to the stomach, where they might get destroyed by acids. The chimps seem to know what they’re doing.”

【1】We can learn from the passage that _________.

A. chimps cure themselves by chewing plants

B. chemicals in plants help cure animals

C. scientists live with chimps to study their diets

D. Dr. Wrangham knows a lot about forest plants

2How can Dr. Wrangham tell which plants are medicine for chimps?

A. By talking with the biologists.

B.. By studying the chimps’ feeding habits.

C. By analyzing the chimps’ favorite food.

D. By comparing other scientists’ discoveries.

3The author wrote the passage to ___________.

A. provide a solution B. test a theory

C. present a finding D. describe an experiment

4What does the passage mainly talk about?

A. Animal doctors. B. Forest plants.

C. Chimp’s diets. D. A cure for cancer.

【题目】What looks like an angry old man and lives at the bottom of the ocean? Its the worlds ugliest animal---the blobfish(水滴鱼).

Its strange skin is shaped by its habitat. It lives 800 meters below the oceans surface, a depth where very few other creatures can survive.

Most fishes have a swim bladder(鱼鳔), which is filled with gas and helps them stay afloat. At the depth that the blobfish live, water pressure is 80 times higher than that at higher sea levels and any swim bladder wouldnt be able to serve its purpose.

The blobfish don’t have a swim bladder because their skin works the same way. It helps them stay afloat without having to use any energy.

The blobfish have a pretty relaxed attitude towards eating. All they do is stay and wait for crabs or lobsters to come by.

Since the blobfish like to eat crabs and lobsters, they often get caught in nets that are used to catch lobsters or crabs and end up dying or being killed. They are not suitable for eating so they are useless for fishermen.

Theres a purpose behind the blobfishs new title; it has become the new mascot for the Ugly Animal Preservation Society, an organization whose purpose is to preserve endangered ugly animals.

Weve needed an ugly face for endangered ugly animals for a long time and Ive been amazed by the public reaction, said the Societys Simon Watt. For too long cute animals have taken the limelight(风头) but now the blobfish will be a voice for those who always get forgotten.They hope this new face will help the world know that we need to help preserve the populations of ugly animals too.

A. cannot be eaten by people

A. Their skin. B. Their tail.

C. Their mouth. D. Their swim bladder.

【3】We can learn from what Simon Watt said that _____ .

A. most ugly animals are in danger

B. the population of the blobfish is increasing

C. the blobfish have attracted the publics attention
