AThere are dozens of movie recommendation engines on the Web. They’re all different, but some are definitely bett er than others.Rotten TomatoesInstead of telling Rotten Tomatoes which films you like, you can tell it what kind of films you enjoy, which actors you want to see, and other standards to help it find the best movie for you. There’s a lot of variability in the quality of Rotten Tomatoes recommendations but it’s also a nice way to find the right film for any mood.NetflixNetflix asks you to rate(划分等级) movies to determine which films you’ll want to see next. And althou gh it does make it easy to rate movies and it does return huge lists, the ideas it gives you aren’t all that strong. It’s easy to use, but it’s not the best way to get movie recommenda tions.JinniWhether you want to search for films based on your mood,time available, or reviews, the site has it all. But Jinni’s most amazing feature is its semantic(语义的)search. You can enter a term like “films that show Chris Farley yelling” and the site will return films that match your question. Go to use Jinni. You wo n’t regret it!CritickerInstead of just allowing you to rank films, Criticker compares your ratings to those of other users and see how closely your tastes match those of other users. Once the service finds matches, you can view these users’ lists and se e which movies they like.1．Which one does the author recommend most?A．Rotten Tomatoes.B．Netflix.C．Jinni. D．Criticker.2．What makes Criticker special?A．Comparing users’ ratings.B．Ranking your favourite films.C．Offering different standards.D．Finding films based on mood.3．What is the purpose of the text?A．To recommend the best online movies.B．To show how to use movie search engines.C．To introduce several movie search engines.D．To explain how to find the best online movies.BI realized something this morning. I have been writing now for 34 years. It all started when I was just18 years old. As a boy I had read literally hundreds of books. I had a thirst for knowledge that seemingly could never fade. Then suddenly I found I had something I wanted to share. I tried to ignore it, but as any writer tells you once the ideas awaken inside of you they won’t leave you alone until you write them down.I didn’t have a computer, word processor, or even a typewriter. Still, I grabbed a pen and lined not ebook paper and wrote everything that was burning inside of me.When I was done I didn’t know how to share it. There was no internet back then, no smart phones, and no social media. I sought out the editor of my local county newspaper and asked him to print what I had written. He was a good man full of both wisdom and kindness. He not only printed my first story but agreed to publish anything else I was willing to write. I continued to write new articles each week and shared them first with other local papers and later online as well. Years later at the urging of my readers I even self-published two collections of my stories in book form.Through my writing I slowly became more than I was. In my writings I encountered my highest self. In my writings I discovered the goodness and light that lie in us all. In my writings I found great love and joy and encouraged others to choose love and joy as well. I also found that we all are writers whether we put pen to paper or not. With every choice we make, with every thought we hold, and with everything we do, we are writing our own life story.Lance Wubbels once wrote：“I hope you realize your life is truly your life. It belongs to you. It is your story to write with love. Day by day, line by line, write it well.”4．As a boy, when the author found he had something to share, ________．A．he wrote it downB．he ignored itC．he shared it on social mediaD．he told it to a writer5．How did the author begin his writing career?A．He was hired as a newspaper editor.B．He put his stories online by himself.C．He self-published two books.D．He was helped by a local newspaper editor.6．What does the author think of writing?A．Writing takes practice and efforts.B．Writing can benefit oneself and others.C．Writing helps people tell right from wrong.D．Only with a pen can one write his life story.7．Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A．A Way to Be a WriterB．A Way to Share IdeasC．Living Is WritingD．Writing Is the Source of LoveCWhile an entire month free of homework or tests may sound too good to be true, that is exactly what the students at Sturenskolan School in Boden, Sweden were treated to in April. What’s more, if the results of the experiment prove encouraging, starting 2019, the middle schoolers will never have to worry about after－school work or tests, aside from the national examinations, which are compulsive for students across the country.The school’s principal, Petronella Sirkka, who came up with the idea, said,“We a re constantly receiving new reports that our children feel bad. And that’s because they have a high level of stress all the time. This is our way of trying to reduce that stress.”The educator says that while ba nning homework and tests sounds radical(激进的), it makes sense given the changes in the curriculum and approaches to education. While in the past students were primarily subjected to memorizing facts, learning today is all about reflection and analysis. As a result, it is often harder for kids, especially those with little support at home, to comprehend the material by themselves.Sirkka is not the only one who believes after-school work does not help students learn. In March 2018, another principal in Canada also decided to do away with homework. They hope parents will spendthe extra time reading to their kids.While the long－term impact of the recent decisions made by the two educators remains to be seen, the experiment has already proved successful in Finland which has done away with homework, grades, and even teaching by subjects for many years. Yet, Finnish students always rank high in the PISA(Programme for International Student Assessment) tests especially in math and science but they have the least homework! Hopefully, it will only be a matter of time before US educators follow their lead and ban after-school work as well!8．The students at Sturenskolan School had no homework in April because ________．A．the headmaster was experimenting with her ideaB．they needed to do some experiments during the monthC．they were busy preparing for the national examinationsD．the headmaster had to carry out the government’s policy9．What makes children’s learning hard nowadays?A．Children have to do more analyzing.B．The approach to education is complex.C．Children get no support at home and school.D．There are more facts to memorize.10．What does Petronella Sirkka most likely advise parents to do?A．Help children with their hom ework.B．Free children from after－school housework.C．Spend more time reading to their children.D．Communicate with teachers from time to time.11．What can we infer about the students in Finland?A．They study the hardest at school.B．They have a more relaxing school life.C．They enjoy great success after graduation.D．They all have a talent for math and science.DA new study has shown how computers and robots powered by artificial intelligence can read humaneye movements to “read” human personalities.The eyes, they say, are the windows to the soul. And if that is true, computers and robots powered by sophisticated(复杂的) artificial intelligence algorithms(演算法) may soon have the ability to peer into your soul. That is the result of a new study on the connection between eye movements and personality, conducted by neuroscience researchers based at the University of South Australia and published in the scientific journal Frontiers in Neuroscience.“Eye movements during an everyday task predict aspects of our personality,” wrote the researchers, led by University of South Australia neuroscientist Tobias Loetscher, whose team followed 42 study subjects around the university campus recording their eye movements, then determined their personalit y traits with “well­established questionnaires” for determining the personality type, accordi ng to a summary of the study published by the site Science Daily.The researchers fed the data into their AI algorithms and found that computers running the algorithms were able to record human eye movements and immediately determine a person’s major perso nality traits, such as “neuroticism, extraversion(外向), agreeableness, conscientiousness, as well as curiosity”，the scientists wrote.“The new findings could improve the way human beings interact with their computers and other high-tech devices, even robots, allowing for more natural and r ealistic social interactions with machines，” Loetscher said.“People are always looking for improved, personalized services. Today’s robots and computers are not socially aware so they cannot adapt to non-verbal information，” Loetscher said in a statement quoted by The Indian Express. This research provides opportunities to develop robots and computers so that they can become more natural, and better at interpreting human social signals.The study revealed previously undiscovered relations between specific personality characteristics and specific eye movement tendencies, according to a summary in Britain’s Daily Mail newspaper. 12．What do the underlined words “peer into” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A．Understand.B．Stare at.C．Search for.D．Concern about.13．How did the researchers conduct the research?A．It was carried out in a lab.B．42 subjects’ eye movements were recorded.C．The students’ daily movements were tracked.D．Its subjects’ personalities were determined by co mputer.14．What can we know according to Tobias Loetscher?A．Robots and computers are socially conscious.B．People care less about improved, personalized services.C．Today’s robots and computers can accustom to non­verbal information.D．The discovery will improve the interaction between human beings and machines.15．What can be a suitable title for the text?A．Human Personality TraitsB．What Human Eye Movements AreC．Tell Personalities by Eye MovementsD．How Humans and Machines Interact第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Before being sent away this boy was the brightest student in his class. He was at the top in every competition. He was a champion.But the boy changed after leaving home and attending the boarding school. His grades started dropping. He hated being in a group. He was lonely all the time. And there were especially dark times when he felt like killing himself. All of this was because he felt worthless and that no one loved him.His parents started worrying about the boy. But even they did not know what was wrong with him. So his dad decided to travel to the boarding school and talk with him.They sat on the bank of the lake near the school. The father started asking him casual questions about his classes, teachers and sports. After some time his dad said, “Do you know son, why I am here today?”The boy answered back, “to check my grades?”“No, no” his dad replied, “I am here to tell you that you are the most important person for me. I want to see you happy. I don’t care about grades. I care about you. I care about your happiness. YOU ARE MY LIFE.”These words caused the boy’s eyes to fill with tears. He hugged his dad. They didn’t say anything to each other for a long time.Now the boy had everything he wanted. He knew there was someone on this earth who cared for him deeply. He meant the world to someone. And today this young man is in college at the top of his class and no one has ever seen him sad!Thanks a lot dad. YOU ARE MY LIFE.1.The father went to the boarding school to_________.A.know if he was still the best studentB.find out what was wrong with his sonC.ask some questions about his classmatesD.talk with the boy’s teacher about his grades2.If we say the questions are casual, we mean they are________.A.unimportantB.strangeC.specialD.difficult3.Why were the boy’s eyes filled with tears when he heard what his father said?A.Because his fa ther didn’t care about his grades any more.B.Because he hadn’t had a talk with his father for a long time.C.Because he had a chance to say his worries.D.Because he was deeply moved by his father’s words.4.The passage mainly tells us never to _________.A.send a small boy to a boarding schoolB.care too much about a student’s gradesC.pay no attention to the power of caringD.miss the chance to say thanks to our fathers3、This may sound like a joke about a lazy person's dream job: Earn big money by staying in bed and watching TV. But this is really happening, and it's a project of NASA and two European space agencies the Institute of Aerospace Medicine at the Cologne-based German Aerospace Center and the European Space Agency. It’s called Artificial Gravi ty Bed Rest Study, aimed at studying how the body adapts to weightlessness in space.Scientists are seeking 12 women to spend two full months in bed in the fall at a German lab, plus an additional month there for preparation and recovery. The first 12 test subjects all men, already have started the study.Participants spend two entire months in bed and remain lying down even to do everyday things like eating drinking and exercising. They also answer nature's call and shower but it's unclear from the NASA website how those tasks are accomplished in bed."Daily routine showering getting dressed eating exercising takes much time when you cannot stand up to do them," says the website adding that there is “continuous data collection, including blood pressure, heart rate, nutrient absorption and also the participants' feelings. Study subjects will spend the 60 days with their heads tilted (倾斜) down six degrees which imitates(模仿)conditions in space.Participants are encouraged to pass the time by watching TV, taking online courses reading and any other activities they can perform while lying down alone in bed to relieve what could be boredom. Family and friends are allowed to visit.The high $18, 500 payment for two months of lazing about is probably a major motivation for people willing to go through something this extreme. However, if you're an American who really needs the money, you probably can't afford it. Candidates need to travel to Cologne four times at their own expense for the employment process between April and July. Plus they need strong German-speaking skills. Also participants need to be nonsmokers between ages 24 and 55 in good health, with normal body weight.1.What are participants expected to do during the study?A.Report their feelings regularly.plete their daily routines in bed.C.Keep their bodies tilted down six degrees.D.Record their physical responses every day.2.What data about the participants will the researchers collect?A.The changes in their weight.B.Their behaviors to weightlessness.C.The ways they do their dailyD.Their physical and mental reactions.3.What will be a challenge for the participants?A.The language skills they need.B.The difficulty meeting family.C.The possibility that they feel dull.D.The slow discovery of their health.4.The requirements for potential participants are______.A.challenging for AmericansB.tailored to thin personsC.easy for the youth to satisfyD.suitable for most people4、Slowly but surely, we’re moving closer and closer to 5G world. From sma rt-home security to self-driving cars, all the internet-connected devices in your life will be able to talk to each other at lightning-fast speeds with reduced delay, Objectively speaking, the fastest 4G download speeds inthe U. S. top out at an average of 19.42 Mbps. But by comparison 5G promises gigabit (千兆) speeds.“5G is one of those signs, along with artificial intelligence, of this coming data age,” said Steve Koenig, senior director of market research for the Consumer Technology Association. “The self-driving vehicle is a great emblem of this data age, and that is to say, it is a sign of time, because with one single task, driving, you have massive amounts of data coming from the vehicle itself, and a variety of sensors are collecting a lot of information to model its environment as it moves. It’s pulling in data from other vehicles about road conditions down the lane. It could be weather information, but also connected infrastructure (基础设施) construction. There’s lots of data behind that task, which is why we need high speed.Augmented reality glasses and virtual headset haven’t yet broken the mainstream, but tech companies are joyfully betting that these devices will eventually replace our smart-phones. With 5G, that could actually happen. This is notable because companies such as Apple are reportedly developing AR glasses to assist — or perhaps even replace — smartphones.Ericsson stated at February’s Mobile World Congress how smart glasses could become faster and lighter with a 5G connection, because instead of being weighed down with components, the glasses could rely on hardware for processing power.But don’t get too excited. There’s still a lot of work to be done in the meantime, including various trials to make sure the radios play nicely with hardware and infrastructure construction so 5G isn’t concentrated only in big cities.1.What does the author want to stress in Paragraph 1?A.The lighting-fast speed of 5G.B.The expectation of 5G world.C.The difference between 4G and 5GD.The internet-connected devices in our life.2.What does the underlined word “emblem” in Paragraph 2 mean?A.Exhibition.B.Success.C.Symbol.D.Explanation.3. We can infer from the text that ________.A.5G world won’t come without AR glassesB.5G helps to create the artificial intelligence vehicleC.Apple company is developing AR glasses worldwideD.Tech companies will face the fact that smartphones may be replaced4.What will the author probably tell us next?A.How to fully expand 5G coverage.B.Smart glasses will become faster and lighter.C.Why 5G isn’t concentrated in big cities.D.The importance of infrastructure construction.5、根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Women have jumped ahead of men for the first time in using the Internet to do their holiday shopping, according to a study published last week in the US.For years men have been more likely to shop on the Internet than women, but during the 2019 holiday season 59 percent of those shopping online were women.“It shows how popular the Internet is becoming,” said Lee Rainie, director of the Pew Internet and American Life Project group, which carried out the study. Rainie said it was only a matter of time before women shoppers caught up with men. This is because women traditionally make decisions about spending.Users were more likely to shop online to save time. Internet users between the ages 19 and 29 were responsible for some of the surprising increase in the online gift buying population this time around.However, three-quarter of the US Internet users did not buy holiday gifts online in 2019. They worried about credit card security (信用卡安全), or just compared online prices with off-line prices, then dashed off to the shops to get the best deals.“But even if shoppers don't buy online, we bsites are becoming promotion (促销) tools for stores,” said DanHess, vice president of Com Score Network Inc. Hess said that actually most stores' websites can make customers fully believe the security of their credit card numbers. And most are able to ensure that gifts arrive on time.“It's all about making the shopping experience more efficient (效率高的), more reliable and more comfortable.” Hess said.4．What can we know from the passage?A．There were fewer women online shoppers than men in 2019.B．More women shopped online than men in 2019.C．Most of the Internet users between the ages 19 and 29 were women.D．People in the US were more likely to buy gifts online.5．What does the underlined part “dashed off” probably mean?A．Turned. B．Put off.C．Hurried. D．Take off.6．According to Dan Hess, shopping online is ________.A．unsafe B．convenientC．a waste of money D．cheaper7．Where does the passage probably come from?A．an introduction textbook B．a news coverageC．an essay collection D．brochureCCalifornia has lost half its big trees since the 1930s, according to a study to be published Tuesday and climate change seems to be a major factor(因素).The number of trees larger than two feet across has declined by 50 percent on more than 46, 000 square miles of California forests, the new study finds. No area was spared or unaffected, from the foggy northern coast to the Sierra Nevada Mountains to the San Gabriels above Los Angeles. In the Sierra high country, the number of big trees has fallen by more than 55 percent; in parts of southern California the decline was nearly 75 percent.Many factors contributed to the decline, said Patrick McIntyre, an ecologist who was the lead author of the study. Woodcutters targeted big trees. Housing development pushed into the woods. Aggressive wildfire control has left California forests crowded with small trees that compete with big trees for resources(资源).But in comparing a study of California forests done in the 1920s and 1930s with another one between 2001 and 2010, McIntyre and his colleagues documented a widespread death of big trees that was evident even in wildlands protected from woodcutting or development.The loss of big trees was greatest in areas where trees had suffered the greatest water shortage. The researchers figured out water stress with a computer model that calculated how much water trees were getting in comparison with how much they needed, taking into account such things as rainfall, air temperature, dampness of soil, and the timing of snowmelt(融雪).Since the 1930s, McIntyre said, the biggest factors driving up water stress in the state have been rising temperatures, which cause trees to lose more water to the air, and earlier snowmelt, which reduces the water supply available to trees during the dry season.8．What is the second paragraph mainly about?A．The seriousness of big-tree loss in California.B．The increasing variety of California big trees.C．The distribution of big trees in California forests.D．The influence of farming on big trees in California.9．Which of the following is well-intentioned but may be bad for big trees?A．Ecological studies of forests.B．Banning woodcutting.C．Limiting housing development.D．Fire control measures.10．What is a major cause of the water shortage according to McIntyre?A．Inadequate snowmelt. B．A longer dry season.C．A warmer climate. D．Dampness of the air.11．What can be a suitable title for the text?A．California’s Forests: Where Have All the Big Trees Gone?B．Cutting of Big Trees to Be Prohibited in California SoonC．Why Are the Big Trees Important to California Forests?D．Patrick McIntyre: Grow More Big Trees in CaliforniaDAbout one million adults in the USA need someone to help them eat. Researchers at the University of Washington are working on a robotic system that can help make it easier. After identifying different food on a plate, the robot can decide how to use a fork to pick up and deliver the desired bite to a person s mouth.“Being dependent on a caregiver to feed every bite every day takes away a person's sense of independence, "said the researcher. “Our goal with this project is to give people a bit more control over their lives the idea was to develop a feeding system that would be attached to wheelchairs and feed people whatever they wanted to eat.“When we started the project, we realized there are so many ways that people can eat a piece of food depending on its size, shape or consistency(坚实度)," said the researcher, “So we set up an experiment to see how humans eat common foods.”The researchers arranged plates with about a dozen different kinds of food, ranging in consistency from hard carrots to soft bananas, Then the team gave volunteers a fork and asked them to pick up different pieces of food andfeed them to a model. The fork contained a sensor to measure how much force people used when they picked up food.To design a feeding strategy that changes based on the food item, the researchers combined two different algorithms (算法).First they used an object-detection algorithm called Retina Net, which scans the plate, identifies the types of food on it and places a frame around each item. Then they developed SPNet, an algorithm that examines the type of food in a specific frame and tells the robot the best way to pick up the food.The team is currently working with the Taskar Center for Accessible Technology to get advice from caregivers and patients on how to improve the system to meet people's need.12．Why do the researchers work on the robotic system?A．To help old people live a normal life.B．To help people improve their health.C．To release people from heavy housework.D．To make some people more independent.13．How does the robotic system work?A．By picking up some soft food. B．By picking out food on the wheelchair.C．By working with some nurses. D．By observing and delivering food.14．What can be inferred about the robotic system?A．It needs further research. B．It has come onto the market.C．It is suitable for any disabled person. D．It has won people's great concern.15．What may be the best title for the text?A．The process of inventing a robotic system.B．A new way to help those who don't like eating.C．Robotic feeders for humans are coming into being.D．Caregivers are going to lose their jobs in the future.第二节(共5小题:每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

I stood on the playground, tears pouring down my face because I wasn’t ready for this first day of kindergarten,but she was ready. Today I will be standing on the playground, once again with tears, because this precious time went by too quickly. This week I realized that I never told you ‘thank you’,I don’t know how to express a mother’s thanks in the way a teacher deserves.We first met you at the open house the week before school started and I immediately knew you would be the type of teacher we would appreciate forever. While the students lined up for the day, you touched each one on the shoulder as you greeted them. If a student was having a tough morning, you quietly held his hand and walked him into the school.I got to know you as I volunteered in the lunch room. You made sure your students were all ready for lunch before you went on your own lunch break. You kept track of their big things and small things, because as a veteran kindergarten teacher, you know that the small things are the big things. I loved the way you made each student feel special. You helped them fall in love with school, which is so important at the start.To all of the teachers in the world who are like you, I wish you knew how grateful parents are for you. We adore you, respect you, and appreciate you. We don’t tell you enough—we probab ly don’t tell you ever.I wish we could take you with us to the next 12 grades.4．Why did the author’s tears come down on her daughter’s first day of kindergarten?A．She hadn’t made full preparations for her daughter.B．Her daughter wasn’t willing to go to kindergarten.C．She felt worried about her daughter’s being away.D．Her daughte r wasn’t familiar with the teachers.5．The author noticed the teacher’s characteristics when ________.A．she stood on the playgroundB．she was at the open houseC．she said goodbye to the teacherD．she worked as a teacher at lunch time6．What does the under lined word “veteran” in Paragraph 3 mean?A．Beautiful.B．Generous.C．Skillful. D．Humorous.7．What is this text mainly about?A．Good wishes to a kindergarten teacher.B．Sincere thanks to a kindergarten teacher.C．A sweet memory of kindergarten life.D．A kid’s daily behavior in the kindergarten.CI started to work as an editor for a travel magazine. I didn’t really mind the work, but I wanted something more challenging. My sister sent me some details for a position in a start-up. The job was a seemingly perfect mix of my skills and interests, so I jumped at it.However, soon after I joined the company, its model changed to focus on education, and everything about my position changed. I was asked to take on the completely different roles of selling contents to teachers and trainin g people. I had no experience in sales, training or education. On top of that, I’m an introvert(内向的人)．I felt more a little outside my comfort zone.I knew I wanted to grow as an individual and make a serious impact on the company. I told myself that everyt hing feels overwhelming at first and I should at least try. In a way, I felt like I didn’t have a choice. I knew jumping out of the nest was the right thing for me, even though it felt pretty awful.I was fortunate to be surrounded by very helpful people, both at work and at home. My boss never asked if I thought I could do it; she asked if I was interested in trying.I spent hours researching my company’s products. I asked lots of questions and spoke to so many teachers that there were soon more good experiences than difficult ones. I looked for opportunities to put in extra effort. The more I did, the better I felt.Over time, I discovered that the job was something I could do and liked doing. It was incredibly rewarding to see the company grow. I also learned it’s important to take risks and a ccept new opportunities, even when you’re not sure if you’ll do well. I don’t think there’s anything worse than failing to try. I’m so glad I tried, and it surely paid off.8．Why did the author want to change her job?A．She intended to challenge something new.B．She was paid too little at her old job.C．She followed her sister’s advice.D．She got bored of her old boss.9．How did the author feel after she entered the new company?A．Excited. B．Curious.C．Stressed. D．Comfortable.10．The author could finally handle her job mainly because________．A．people around her helped her solve the challengeB．she was hardworking and made a lot of effortC．she knew she would do wellD．her boss trusted her to try11．What’s the author’s purpose in writing the text?A．To tell readers that failure is the mother of success.B．To warn about the risks and challenges when changing jobs.C．To expose risks and challenges in a small and newly founded company.D．To encourage readers to take on challenges and turn risks into opportunities.DAs evolution tends to remove waste, how come we evolved such large, energy-consuming brains? The dominant hypothesis(假设) suggests that tough social interactions are the driving force. But our new study done in an unusual way shows that human brain expansion is likely driven by ecology(生态)．Scientists have tested the ecological and social hypotheses before. The common approach is to look atmany species and investigate whether large brains are associated with specific problems. For example, do primates or other animals with large brains have a diet that is challenging to find but nutritionally rewarding? This would indicate an ecological origin. Or do they live in large groups where they face lots of social problems?While many studies have found such associations, there is a problem. It cannot tell whether large brains evolved to solve the difficult problems or whether they evolved for other reasons and then enabled their bearers to deal with the hard problems.To find out the causes of brain expansion, we recreated the scenarios(情景) of the two hypotheses using a mathematical model. We found that a combination of ecological and social challenges does produce the brain size we see in humans. But it was ecological challenges that expanded brains. In contrast to the dominant view and our own expectation, we found that social challenges contributed by decreasing brain size. But you need both factors to get the brain size we see today,if there were no social challenges our brains would have been even larger but likely poorly suited to social life. Bigger isn’t necessarily better.But many animals face hard ecological problems. Why don’t they all have large brains? We found tha t ecological problems only lead to human-sized brains when individuals can keep learning hard skills as they grow. So our results and those of others’ suggest that hard ecology and the accumulation of cultural knowledge could act together to produce a human-sized brain.Will the human brain expand further? The complexity of the systems involved makes it impossible to say much with certainty at present.12．In most people’s view, what makes human evolve large brains?A．Social challenges.B．Social and ecological challenges.C．Ecological challenges.D．Competition with other large animals.13．What’s the problem of the common approach?A．Its model is not reliable enough.B．It doesn’t tell the cause and effect clearly.C．Its hypothesis cannot be proved effectively.D．It doesn’t find brain size is connected with problems.14．Why don’t many animals have large brains?A．They don’t learn from each other.B．They don’t face hard ecological problems.C．They don’t need to cooperate with each other.D．They don’t keep l earning tough skills as they grow.15．Which of the following do the researchers find most surprising?A．Animals don’t have large brains.B．Social challenges decrease brain size.C．Ecological challenges increase brain size.D．It’s unclear whether human brains will expand further.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
