reporting on the latest studies of animal mental ability．Edward Wassennan, a professor of experimental psychology at the University of Chicago, says that, like people, pigeons and baboons（狒狒）were able to tell which picturesshowed similar items, like triangles or dots, and which showed different items．In the last 20 years there has been a major revolution in the understanding of animals, added Nicola S．Clayton, a professor of comparative cognition （认知）at the University of Cambridge England．"Animals not only use tools．There is also evidence that some of them save tools for future use," she says．"Planning ahead was once thought to be unique to humans．We now know that's not true．"For example, she said, crows have been seen stashing（把……藏起来）food away for the next day, and even finding ways to protect it from being stolen．Clayton and Elizabeth Branhon have studied how human adults and babies, lemurs（狐猴）and monkeys think about number without using language．After seeing the same number of different objects, infants notice when the number changes．So do macaques．Indeed, college students and macaques seem equally able to estimate numbers of objects without actually counting them．That ability can be useful to macaques in determining whether there is enough food in an area, or to get a sense of how large their group is compared to competing groups．The researchers are currently working to see if monkeys can recognize the concept of zero．The new studies finding increasing similarities between animals and human mental abilities may be making some people uneasy, Wassennan says．With the aim of learning how much the ability to think is general throughout the animal kingdom, he says, "the evidence that we collect constantly surprises us．"41．Which of the following would be

mathsD．why animals save tools for future use43．In the past scientists thought that ___．A．besides humans, only baboons had the ability to plan for the futureB．animals had limited ability to plan for the futureC．besides humans, only monkeys and pigeons could plan for the futureD．only humans could make plans for the future44．The underlined word "macaques" in Paragraph 5 refers to __ _．A．human

travelersC．international studentsD．children with bad memoriesDThe English language, like football and other sports, began in England and has spread to every comer of the globe．Today more than a billion people-speak English．It is becoming the world's language: the language of the Internet, of business, of international flight —the pathway of global communication and global access to knowledge．And it has become the vehicle for hundreds of millions of people of all countries to connect with each other, in countless ways．Indeed, English is much more than a language: it is a bridge across borders and cultures, a source of unity in a rapidly changing world．English does not make us all the same —nor should it, for we honor who we distinctly are．But it makes it possible for us to speak to each other, to better understand each other．So it is a powerful force not just for economics, business and trade, but for mutual respect and progress．For Britain, this is not a matter of narrow national pride．It is an accident of history ?a wave of knowledge and commerce, which gathered even greater global force in the post-war era, that-gave the world the English language．English is our heritage, but it is also becoming the common future of human commerce and communication．This is a great opportunity for Britain—and a measure of the greatness that lies not in empire's territory but through a language that has the power to bring this world of over 200 countries and billions of people closer together, with the versatility（多才多艺）to evolve and adapt．We will take up with vigor （魅力）the bold （冒险的）task of making our language the world's common language of choice．The language that helps the world talk, laugh and communicate together．But there are millions of people in every continent who are still denied this chance to learn English—prevented from enjoying many of the benefits of the Internet, commerce and culture．But no one —however poor, however distant ?should be denied the opportunity that the English language provides．51．In the opinion of the writer, English plays a role of_ __．A．making all the people around the world the sameB．making all the people move across borders freelyC．uniting the world people into a countryD．promoting mutual understanding and respect52．Which word can express the writer's opinion on how English has become a language of the world?A．Natural B．Accidental C．Gradual D．Inevitable53．How should the British treat the power of English?A．They should make full use of it．B．They should be proud of it.C．They should take it for granted.D．They should share it with other people.54．The writer seems to think that English provides the British with a chance _ __．A．to restore the empire of Britain in its historyB．to occupy as much territory as possible in every continentC．to make the world people choose to learn EnglishD．to bring 200 hundred countries under the control of Britain 55．If the writer continues to write this

provide the poor people with the chance to learn English．第Ⅱ卷（非选择题共35分）第三部分：写作（共两节，满分35分）第一节：阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）Doctors say anger can be an extremely damaging emotion, unless you learn how to deal with it．They warn that anger can lead to heart disease, stomach problems, headaches, emotional problems and possibly cancer．Anger is a normal emotion that we all feel from time, to time．Some people express anger openly in a calm reasonable way．Others burst with anger, and scream and yell．Yet a few people keep their anger inside．They can not or will hot express it．This is called repressing anger．For years many doctors thought that repressing anger was more dangerous to a person's health than expressing it．They said that when a person is angry, the brain releases the same hormones （荷尔蒙）．They speed the heart rate, raise blood pressure, or sugar into the blood, etc．In general, the person feels excited and ready to act．Some doctors say that both repressing and expressing anger can be dangerous．They believe that those who express anger violently may be more likely to develop heart disease, and they believe that those who keep their anger inside may face a greater danger of high blood pressure．Docors say the solution is learning how to deal with anger．They say the first step is to admit that you are angry and to recognize the real cause of the anger, men decide if the cause is serious enough to get angry about．If it is, they say, "Do not express your anger while angry．Wait until your anger has cooled down and you are able to express yourself calmly and reasonably．"Doctors say that a good way to deal with anger is to find humor in the situation that has made you angry．They said that laughter is much healthier than anger．56．What's the author's purpose by writing this passage? （No more than 15 words）57．What's the meaning of the underlined word "repressing" in Paragraph 2? （No more than 5 words）58．According to the passage, what are the two common ways for people to express their anger? （No more than 20 words）59．Why do doctors warn us not to get angry easily? （No more than 15 words）60．How can you deal with anger successfully in your daily life?
