18．Scientists in Britain have managed to teach bumblebees （大黄蜂）to pull strings to get to food and then pass on what they have learned to others in their colony （群体）一showing a high level of intelligence despite their tiny brains．
Researchers at Queen Mary University of London said the experiments，often used to test the intelligence of apes （猿）and birds，showed for the first time that some insects are up to the task，and can also pass skills on through several generations．
The findings add to the evidence suggesting the ability for"culture spread"一 the ability to learn and pass on knowledge and skills-may not be exclusive to humans．
In the research，published in the journal PLOS Biology on Tuesday，the scientists were able to train 23out of a group of 40bees to pull strings with their legs and feet．
The strings were attached to discs-or artificial"flowers"一 containing food at their center but placed under a transparent screen．The bees，spotting the food beneath the screen，learned to pull the"flowers"out by pulling the string with their legs and feet to be able to get to it．
From another group of bees given the chance to solve the task without any training，only two of 110were successful．
Another group of bees was then allowed to observe the trained bees pulling the strings，and 60percent of them successfully learned the skill．Finally，trained bees were put in colonies，and the scientists found the technique spread successfully to a majority of the colony's worker bees．
Lars Chittka，a Queen Mary University professor who guided the project，said the team is interested in figuring out the brain processes behind the bees'learning and teaching skills．

29．What does the underlined word"exclusive"in Paragraph 3 probably mean？A
A．unique．B．ordinary．C．widespread．D．beneficial．
30．What did the researchers find about bees？C
A．Bees are as clever as birds．
B．Bees learn best in insects．
C．Bees can be trained to learn skills．
D．Bees are born good learners．
31．What may the research team focus on next？C
A．Where bees learn skills．
B．What else bees can do．
C．How bees'brain work．
D．How bees teach others．
32．What may be the best title for the text？A
A．Bees can learn and teach
B．Small bees，great abilities
C．Let bees learn
D．Bees are smarter．

5．The film stars out as a normal day at a typical American high school．Friends chat in the dining room and boys play football．But there's big surprise when the movie ends with two students going crazy in the school-shooting and killing people．
This is Elephant．It stars real school kids．American director Gus Van Sant had no ready-made lines．The student actors made up their own dialogue，with Van Sant asking them to base their characters on their own lives．
Although it may not sound very high quality，the film won the Palmed'Or （金棕奖） for Best Film and the award for Best Director at the Cannes film festival．
The film is based on the shootings at a high school in the US，where two boys killed 13 people and then themselves in 1999．
The title of the movie refers to the old expression about a problem that's as hard to ignore as an elephant in the house．
The film takes a close look at a few hours in the lives of the victims and the killers．It shows how high school is a different experience for everyone---fun and friendly，or hard and lonely．
In many ways，the two boys，who carry out the shooting，act like ordinary kids．They joke around with one boy's mother as she serves them cakes and play the piano．
But there're hints of the anger they feel inside．One of the boys is bullied （欺负） at school．The other plays violent video games．But Van Sant isn't blaming their killings on either bullying or violent games．In fact，the film doesn't offer any reason for why school violence happens．
"I didn't want to explain anything．It's up to the audience to draw its own conclusions，"said the 51-year-old director．

21．The lines of the film wereB．
A．given by the director
B．created by student actors
C．thought out by the director during the acting
D．carefully designed by professional people
22． The film doesn't tell why school shootings happenA．
A．so as to leave room for the audience to think and judge
B．because life itself is the problem maker
C．because the mental problems of students are hard to explain
D．but there are some hints of the reasons
23．The film is named Elephant becauseC．
A．an elephant is always gentle and never causes trouble
B．an elephant is a symbol of big problems in American schools
C．elephant is used to suggest that the school crime is a big problem
D．the two boys liked elephants when alive
24．What's the passage mainly about？B
A．It shows American school life．

C．It tells people to be careful while in peace．
D．It reports a school killing in a US school．

15．Deep in the islands on the Andaman Sea，and along the west coast of Thailand live small tribes called the Moken people，also known as sea-nomads （海上牧民）．Their children spend much of their day in the sea，diving for food．They are uniquely adapted to this job-because they can see underwater．And it turns out that with a little practice，their unique vision might be accessible to any young person．
In 1999，Anna Gislen at the University of Lund，in Sweden was delving different aspects of vision，when a colleague suggested that she might be interested in studying the unique characteristics of the Moken tribe．
Gislen and her six-year old daughter travelled to Thailand and lived within the Moken communities，who mostly lived on houses sat upon poles．Gislen set up an experiment to test just how good the children's underwater vision really was．The kids were excited about joining in．
The kids had to dive underwater and place their heads onto a panel（表盘）．From there they could see a card displaying quite a few lines．Once they had stared at the card，they came back to the surface to report where the lines travelled Each time they dived down，the lines would get thinner，making the task harder．It turned out that the Moken children were able to see twice as well as European children who performed the same experiment at a later date．
Gislen figured that in order to see clearly underwater，the Moken children must have either picked up some adaptation that completely changed the way their eyes worked，or they had learned to use their eyes differently under water．

28．Why are the Moken people known as sea-nomads？C
A Because they live on the coast of the Andaman Sea．
B．Because they like to dive into the sea to play．
C．Because they depend on the sea for food
D．Because they raise sea animals themselves．
29．What does the underlined word"delving"in Paragraph 2 most probably mean？A
A Doing research on
B．Showing interest in
C．Taking care of．
D．Catching hold of．
30．What did the children report when they came back to the surface？B
A．The number of lines they saw underwater．
B．The direction in which the lines travelled
C．How much thinner the lines had become
D．Whether the lines were straight or not
31．What could be the best title for the text？A
A．Children who can see underwater
B．People who depend on the sea for food
C．People who live on houses sat upon poles
D．Children who change the way their eyes develop．
