Goats are amazing animals. They can survive just about anywhere. Altogether there are nine species of goats in the world.
Goats have more uses than you could ever imagine. Goat’s meat can be eaten and goat’s milk is becoming popular as a healthy choice to drink milk. Goat’s milk is easier to take in than cow’s milk and it is called universal milk as it can be used to bottle-feed most animals. In nutrition, it is also good. Goat’s skins are still used today to make gloves and other items of clothing. The initial reasons for domesticating (驯化) goats were to get goat’s hair, meat and milk. Goat’s skins were used up until the Middle Ages for making bottles to hold water and wine for people who were traveling or camping.
Just like sheep, goats are considered to be the first domesticated animal. The domestication process began over 10,000 years ago in a North Iranian town. A lot of people keep goats as pets nowadays.
Goats are easily trained and you can teach them to pull carts and walk on ropes. Goats are also known for escaping their pens(圈). If you have unsecured fencing, your goats will be interested in it and test it out and soon you will know where the openings are. Goats are also widely known for their ability to climb trees, although the tree generally has to be at a slight angle(角度).
If goats are raised correctly and trained from an early age, they never develop any bad habits. Goats will attack each other. However, if they’re corrected from an early age they never attack humans or other animals.

People with bigger brains ftend to score higher on standardized tests of intelligence, according to new study findings.
However, the study author Dr Michael A.McDaniel of the Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond emphasized that these findings represent a general trend, and people with small heads should not automatically believe they are less intelligent. For instance, Albert Einstein’s brain was “not particularly large”, McDaniel noted. “There’s some relationship between brain size and intelligence on the average, but there’s plenty of room for exceptions,” he said.
Interest in the relationship between brain size and intelligence grew in the1830s,  when German anatomist(解剖学家) Frederich Tiedmann wrote that he believed there was “an unquestionable connection between the size of the brain and the mental energy displayed by the individual man”. Since that statement, scientists have conducted numerous studies to determine if Tiedmann’s  assertion was, in fact, correct. Most studies have looked into the link between head size and intelligence. More recently, however, researchers have published additional studies on brain size and intelligence, measured using MRI scan(核磁共振成像扫描).
For his study, McDaniel analyzed more than 20 studies that looked into the relationship between brain size and intelligence in a total of 1,530 people. The studies showed that on the average, people with larger brain volume tended to be more intelligent. The relationship between brain volume and intelligence was stronger in women than men, and in adults than in children. McDaniel notes in the journal Intelligence.
McDaniel is not sure why the relationship was stronger for adults and women. “Other research has shown that women, on the average, tend to have smaller brains than men, but score just as well—if not higher—in tests of intelligence,” he said.
McDaniel insisted that the relationship between brain size and intelligence is not a “perfect” one. “One can certainly find lots of examples of smaller-sized people who are highly intelligent,” he said, “But, on the average, the relationship holds.”
小题1:. What does the text mainly talk about?
A.MRI scans are applied to intelligence.
B.On the average, a bigger brain means higher IQ.
C.Dr McDaniel did well in his intelligence study.
D.Scientists are interested in Tiedmann’s idea.
小题2: By mentioning Albert Einstein, the writer wants to show    .
A.Albert Einstein was intelligent
B.the result of intelligence test was false
C.being hard working is more important than intelligence
D.brain size doesn’t necessarily decide the level of intelligence
小题3: The underlined word “assertion” in Para. 3 probably means “    ”.
A. experiment   B. statement  C proof      D. demand
小题4: After Frederich Tiedmann wrote his article,    .
A.many scientists agreed with him
B.numerous studies have failed to prove his idea
C.MRI scan became popularly used
D.lots of researchers were interested in the connections between head size and intelligence
小题5: According to the text, Dr McDaniel’s study    .
A.proves Tiedmann’s idea was completely true
B.shows women are smarter than men
C.involves many studies and a lot of people
D.explains why people with smaller brains are clever

The deserts of the world are not all covered with sand. Many of them have surfaces of rock or clay(黏土) or small stones. They are not flat, either. They often have high hills and deep valleys. There is some plants’ life in many parts of the desert. There is little rain in the desert, but it does fall often enough for most plants.
The deserts of the world are not uninhabited(无人居住的). People also live outside oases(绿洲), but these people are not farmers. They have camels, goats, donkeys, sheep, etc. These animals can live on the desert plants and do not need much water.
The people of the desert have to move constantly from place to place, they must always look for grass or desert plants for their animals. They usually live in tents. When there is no more food for their animals, they fold up their tents, put them on their camels and donkeys, and move to another place. In good years, when there is enough food for their animals, they trade their skins and their goats and camel hairs with the people of oases for wheat and fruit. But in bad years, when there is not enough food for their animals, the people of the desert would attack the oases people. But they are also hospitable, no man in the desert would ever refuse to give a stranger food and water.
小题1:According to the passage, deserts are mostly made up of ________.
A.clayB.rockC.stonesD.sand
小题2:The underlined word “hospitable” has the meaning of being ________.

As in the field of space travel, new technologies continue to appear in undersea exploration. They share a number of similarities with each other — as well as some important differences.
Manned submersibles (潜水器), like spaceships, must maintain living conditions in an unnatural environment. While a spaceship must simply be sealed against the vacuum space, a submersible must be able to bear extreme pressure if it is not to break up in deep water.
In exploring space, unmanned vehicles were employed before astronauts. In undersea exploration, on the other hand, men paved the way, and only recently have unmanned remote-operated vehicles (ROVs) been put to use.
One reason for this is that communicating with vehicles in orbit is much easier than talking to those underwater. A vacuum is an ideal medium for radio communications, but underwater communications are limited to much slower sound waves. Thus, most undersea vehicles — particularly ROVs — operate at the end of long ropes.(电缆终端)
For a similar reason, knowing where you are undersea is much more difficult than in space. A spaceship’s position can be located by following its radio signal, or by using telescopes and radar. For an undersea vehicle, however, a special network of sonar (声纳系统)devices must be laid out in advance on the ocean floor in the area of a dive to locate the vehicle’s position.
Though undersea exploration is more challenging than outer space in a number of respects, it has a distinct advantage: going to the ocean depths doesn’t require the power necessary to escape Earth’s gravity. Thus, it remains far less expensive.
小题1:The purpose of the passage is ______.
A.to persuade you to explore the depths of the ocean
B.to stress the importance of the undersea exploration
C.to make you believe that the undersea exploration is better
D.to tell some differences between two kinds of explorations
小题2: By saying “men paved the way” in Paragraph 2 the author means that in undersea exploration ______.
A.unmanned vehicles were used in the beginning
B.men covered the ocean floor with stones and bricks
C.manned vehicles were employed before unmanned ones
D.men invented unmanned remote-operated vehicles in the past
小题3:The sonar devices must be placed ______.
A.from time to time
B.after the undersea vehicles dive
C.before the undersea vehicles dive
D.when the undersea vehicles are diving
小题4:What can we infer from the passage?
A.Submersibles usually break up in deep water.
B.Undersea vehicles can receive signals immediately.
C.Going to space needs power to escape the gravity.
D.Radio communications are quite difficult in a vacuum.

Boom boom!( I’m here, come to me!)
Krak krak!( Watch out, a leopard (豹)!)
Hok hok hok!( Hey, crowned eagle!)
Very good — you’ve already mastered half the basic vocabulary of the Campbell’s monkey, which lives in the forests of the Tai National Park in Ivory Coast. The adult males have six types of call, each with a specific meaning, but they can mix two or more calls together into a message with a different meaning.
Having spent months recording the monkeys’ calls in response to both natural and artificial stimuli (刺激物), a group led by Klaus Zuberbuhler of the University of St. Andrews in Scotland argues that the Campbell’s monkeys have a certain form of syntax(句法).
This is likely to be controversial because despite great effort to teach chimpanzees(大猩猩) language, they showed little or no ability to combine the sounds they learned into a sentence with a larger meaning. Syntax, basic to the structure of language, uniquely belongs to humans.
“Krak” is a call that warns of leopards in the neighborhood. The monkeys give it in response to real leopards and to leopard shouting broadcast by the researchers. The monkeys can vary the call by adding “-oo”: “Krak-oo” seems to be a general word for hunter, but one given in a special context – when monkeys hear but don’t see a hunter, or when they hear the alarm calls of another species.
The “boom-boom” call invites other monkeys to come toward the male making the sound. Two booms can be combined with a series of “krak-oos”, with a meaning entirely different to that of either of its single parts. “Boom boom krak-oo krak-oo krak-oo” is the monkey’s version of “Timber!” – it warns of falling trees.
If Zuberbuhler is correct, the Campbell’s monkeys can both vary the meaning of specific calls by adding something and combine calls to make a different meaning.
小题1:What is the passage mainly about?
A.A group of scientists.B.Calls of Campbell’s monkeys.
C.The lifestyle of monkeys.D.The importance of language.
小题2:According to the passage, chimpanzees       .
A.don’t communicate by sounds
B.only understand simple sentences
C.fail to learn language from humans
D.are not related to the Campbell’s monkeys
小题3:If the Campbell’s monkeys hear a lion’s shouting, they will call “  ”.
A.KrakB.BoomC.Boom boom krak-oo krak-oo krak-oo D.Krak-oo
小题4: According to the passage, it seems that        .
A.Zuberbuhler has spent years in the forests
B.the writer isn’t sure of Zuberbuhler’s opinions
C.the Campbell’s monkeys are cleverer than other animals
D.the Campbell’s monkeys can express six meanings by calls
