After the first day, little Tommy came home with a very serious look on his face. He didnt kiss his mother hello. Instead, he went straight to his room and started studying. Boo

23、ks and papers were spread (铺开) out all over the room and little Tommy was hard at work. His mother was surprised.

Some birds may form pairs，or even cooperate to hunt，but the complexity (复杂性) of their relationships can hardly compare to those within a school of dolphins，a herd of

30、elephants or a group of humans. What makes mammalian social groups different from a flock of starlings or a shoal of fish，is that in many cases the individuals could recognize each other. Although we may think that all elephants look pretty much the same，we can easily tell individuals of our own spe

31、cies apart and it has become clear through studies that the same is true of other species. Dolphins have their own signature whistles that act like “names，and elephants can recognize and greet other individuals they have known but not seen for many years. This is something that only a few species of

You have to learn who to trust，who your friends are，and who to watch out for.All this remembering goes on in a particular part of the br

34、ain called the neocortex (大脑皮层)If you compare the size of a mammals social group with the size of this part of the brain，you will find they are remarkably closely related. This area seems to take a long time to develop fully and animals in which it is very large take a very long time to grow up to a

35、dulthood. During this time，the youngster has to learn all the rules of social behaviour in their group and to piece together all the relationships between the group members：Knowledge that will be needed to avoid getting into trouble.36What is special about a mammalian social group according to the p

36、assage?AAll the individuals cooperate to hunt.BThe individuals can communicate with each other.CThe individuals can recognize each other.DThe individuals form closer relationship.37The passage suggests that elephants_.Aare cleverer than dolphinsBcan recognize other speciesCmay mistake a member for a

37、notherDhave good memories38Animals whose area of the neocortex is large_.Awill have a long period of time before they become adultsBwill spend a shorter time learning the necessary knowledgeCwill learn the necessary knowledge much more easilyDwill have more difficulty in growing up as adults39If the

They do not produce smoke but a water vapor without smell. Sold mos

42、tly on the Internet，ecigarettes were first made in China.Last year the World Health Organization (WHO) warned against using ecigarettes，saying there was no evidence to prove they were safe or helped smokers break the habit. The WHO said people who smoke ecigarettes breathe in a fine fog of nicotine

43、into the lungs.Nearly a third of people questioned in the survey think that ecigarettes should be allowed in places where smoking is forbidden，because they dont produce smoke，but 46 percent disagree. Men who were aware of the availability of ecigarettes were more likely than women to say they should

44、 be a choice available to smokers who want to quit. Young people，aged 1829，and singles were the groups most open to trying ecigarettes. Smoking is the single largest cause of preventable death worldwide，according to the WHO.41What can we learn from Paragraph 1?AAmerican smokers ought to try ecigaret

48、dults and singles are the main groups who agree to try ecigarettes.DThe problem of smoking is becoming worse around the world.EWhen my family moved to America in 2023 from a small village in Guangdong, China, we brought not only our luggage, but also our village rules, customs and culture. One of th

49、e rules is that young people should always respect elders. Unluckily, this rule led to my very first embarrassment in the United States. I had a part-time job as a waiter in a Chinese restaurant. One time, when I was serving food to a middle-aged couple, the wife asked me how the food could be serve

50、d so quickly. I told her that I had made sure they got their food quickly because I always respect the elderly. As soon as I said that, her face showed great displeasure. My manager, who happened to hear what I said, took me aside and gave me a long lecture about how sensitive(敏感) Americans are and

51、how they dislike the description “old. I then walked back to the table and apologized to the wife. After the couple heard my reason, they understood that the problem was caused by cultural differences, so they laughed and were no longer angry. In my village in China, people are proud of being old. N

52、ot so many people live to be seventy or eighty, and people who reach such an age have the most knowledge and experience. Young people always respect older people because they know they can learn from their rich experience. However, in the United States, people think “growing old is a problem since “

53、old shows that a person is going to retire or that the body is not working well. Here many people try to keep themselves away from growing old by doing exercises or jogging, and women put on makeup, hoping to look young. When I told the couple in the restaurant that I respect the elderly, they got a

54、ngry because this caused them to feel they had failed to stay young. I had told them something they didnt want to hear. After that, I changed the way I had been with older people. It is not that I dont respect them any more; I still respect them, but now I dont show my feelings through words. By Jac
