1、　　課 時(shí) 作 業(yè)　 Ⅰ.閱讀理解 (2019·康杰中學(xué)高三調(diào)研) Food storing is common in members of the crow (烏鴉) family. A new study tested the birds outside this naturally occurring behaviour, which may have evolved (進(jìn)化) specifically because it gives crows a survival advantage. Some crow species are known to naturally use

2、 tools to recover food. So the researchers tested whether the birds could store and recover a tool so they could get it at their food after a gap of 17 hours—something we wouldn't expect them to do naturally. But they were able to instantly select the tool out of a number of unnecessary items. In a

3、nother experiment, the researchers taught crows to select a token (禮品券) from a number of items so that they could then exchange for food. Again, the birds then showed that they could plan for the future using this new behaviour. This is different from all of the previous studies in future planning,

4、which have focused on naturally occurring behaviour. For example, we know that chimpanzees select, transport and save appropriate tools for future needs. These studies have shown that animals can plan for the future—but they left an important question open for debate. Are animals only able to plan

5、to use abilities that have evolved to give them a specific advantage, or can they flexibly and intelligently apply planning behaviour across various actions? Most critics would say the former, as the animals were tested in naturally occurring behaviours. But the new research provides the first evid

6、ence that animal species can plan for the future using behaviour that doesn't typically occur in nature. This supports the view that at least some cognitive abilities in animals don't evolve just in response to specific problems. Instead, it suggests that animals can apply these behaviours flexibly

7、across problems in a similar way to humans. We need to investigate how flexible behaviour evolved. Then we might be able to see how crows' ability to plan for the future fits in with their broader cognitive powers. 本文通過烏鴉，談?wù)撚嘘P(guān)動(dòng)物的進(jìn)化，但是目前還不清楚它們是怎樣進(jìn)化的。 1．What's the new finding about some crows accord

9、 a number of unnecessary items.可知，對(duì)烏鴉的新發(fā)現(xiàn)是：他們可以存儲(chǔ)和恢復(fù)工具。故選C。 2．What are crows trained by scientists to do when given a token? A．Reject it casually. B．Exchange it for food. C．Save it as their food. D．Build a nest with it. 答案：B 解析：細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段第一句In another experiment, the researchers taught cro

10、ws to select a token (禮品券) from a number of items so that they could then exchange for food.可知，訓(xùn)練烏鴉用獎(jiǎng)品券來交換食物。故選B。 3．What do scientists think of the studies that animals can plan for the future? A．They are controversial. B．They are disappointing. C．They are contradictory. D．They are convincing.

11、 答案：A 解析：推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段第一句These studies have shown that animals can plan for the future—but they left an important question open for debate.可知，科學(xué)家們關(guān)于動(dòng)物可以為未來做計(jì)劃的研究是有爭(zhēng)議的。故選A。 4．What can be inferred about cognitive abilities in animals? A．They develop only with age. B．It is unclear how they've evolved

12、 now. C．No animals but crows benefit from them. D．Planning for the future helps their evolution. 答案：B 解析：推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段中We need to investigate how flexible behaviour evolved.可知，還不清楚它們是怎樣進(jìn)化的。故選B。 Ⅱ.七選五 (2019·成都外國(guó)語學(xué)院高三檢測(cè)) Choosing the right college for you is not so easy.You should have a general

25、s。 2．showing　解析：考查非謂語作定語。句意：一個(gè)中國(guó)園林就像一卷畫，展示了一系列精心構(gòu)成的場(chǎng)景。分析句子A Chinese garden __1__ (be) like a scroll(卷軸)painting, __2__ (show) a series of carefully composed scenes.可知，本句中的show在句子中作定語，修飾主語painting, 二者是主動(dòng)關(guān)系，故用showing。 3．what　解析：考查名詞從句。句意：在花園里，最常見到的是蜿蜒的小徑，似乎是無盡的。分析句子In the gardens, __3__ most frequen

26、tly meets the eye is winding paths that seemingly lead to nowhere.可知，句中主語從句中缺少主語，缺少主語指物的要用what，故填what。 4．a(chǎn)　解析：考查固定搭配。all of a sudden為固定搭配，意為“突然地”，故填a。 5．entrance/entry　解析：考查名詞。分析句子可知，本句中的enter前有定冠詞the，在英語中the修飾的是名詞，故要用enter的名詞形式entrance/entry。 6．used　解析：考查非謂語作定語。在一個(gè)中國(guó)花園的入口處，通常有一塊巨大的石頭或墻用來遮擋你的視線。分

27、析句子可知，本句中的use是作stone or wall 的定語，本句中是用石頭和墻來遮擋視線的。因此二者是被動(dòng)關(guān)系，故填used。 7．its　解析：考查代詞。句意：中國(guó)的花園可能在它所有的四個(gè)墻壁上都有窗戶。分析句子可知，本句是指墻自身有窗戶，故填its(它的)。 8．interesting　解析：考查形容詞。句意：有趣的是，通過窗戶，游客可以在不同的角度看到不同的風(fēng)景。本句是常用句式It is＋adj.＋that從句，而interest是名詞，所以用其形容詞interesting。 9．seasons　解析：考查名詞復(fù)數(shù)。句意：所有的植物都標(biāo)志著季節(jié)的變化。而一年有四季，故季節(jié)要用

28、復(fù)數(shù)形式seasons。 10．a(chǎn)nd　解析：考查連詞。句意：同樣地，水是千變?nèi)f化的象征，巖石是永恒的象征，它們創(chuàng)造了自然界陰陽的和諧。分析句子可知“水”和“巖石”二者是并列的主語，所以要填and。 Ⅳ.短文改錯(cuò) (2019·寧夏銀川一中高三模擬) Wolf Warrior Ⅱ， which opens across the country on July 27, 2017, was the biggest hit of the summer.
