He was one of the world’s first apes(猿) to learn sign language(手语).In 1979, when Chantek was a 9-month-old baby, he came to the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga in the US. Researcher Lyn Miles led an unusual experiment there. She wanted to teach Chantek like a human child.The scientists then taught Chantek sign language. He learned at least 150 words in American Sign Language. He even came up with hi s own words, including “Tomato toothpaste” for ketchup(番茄酱). He was also taught other basic human skills, such as using a bathroom and cleaning his room.Chantek stayed at the university for eight years. He sometimes even walked to classes with students. But in 1986, Chantek ran away from his place and scared a student. People had to send him to an animal center. He spent 11 years there, living in a cage and becoming fat and unhappy.Chantek moved into Zoo Atlanta in 1997, where he could finally go outside and swing(摇荡) from tree to tree.The zoo said the orangutan often used sign language to “talk” with his caretakers. But he was too shy to do it with strangers.Miles visited Chantek often at the zoo. She said that Chantek still saw himself as half human, a nd called the zoo’s other orangutans “orange dogs”.On Aug 7, Chantek died of heart disease at the age of 39.31. What was Dr Miles’ experiment?A. She wanted to teach Chantek like a humanB. She taught Chantek to speakC. She helped Chantek stay at the universityD. She encouraged Chantek to go outside32. According to the article, which statement is true?A. Chantek often talked to strangers.B. Chantek liked the animal center.C. Chantek was able to create new wordsD. Chantek was only taught sign languageBEmpathy(同情心) lets us feel another person’s pain and drives us to help. Do any other animals feel empathy? Scientists recently found that rats(老鼠) do, too.Most people don’t like rats. In many people’s eyes, rats are only bad. But Jean Decety and his partners at the University of Chicago did an experiment. It showed that rats are kind, warm-hearted animals. They can feel each other’s pain.Scientists placed pairs of rats in plastic cages(笼子) for two weeks. During this time they got to know each other. Then they put one of the rats from each pair into a small container(容器) in the cages. The small container had a door. It was so designed as to fall to the side when the free rat touched it. Many of the trapped(困住的) rats squeaked(吱吱叫) to show their discomfort. The other rats of the pairs could see their suffering(受苦的) friends clearly.In most pairs, the free rats would become very worried about their friends. They kept trying to save their friends again and again throughout the month. Scientists put the rats’favorite chocolate in the cages, but the rats didn’t eat it until they had saved their friends successfully. Scientists also found that female rats seemed to act more empathetic than male rats.“The results are the first to show that rats take action in response to another’s trouble,”Decety said. “Monkeys and chimpanzees have similar behavior. But unlike those animals, rats can be ready used in laboratory studies. They will help us to learn which parts of the brain lead toempathy and helping behavior and whether empathy is natural.”33. A person with empathy is often _____.A. kind-heartedB. cleverC. activeD. strong34. Why didn’t the free rats eat the chocolate at first?A．Because they were not hungry at that time.B．Because chocolate was not their favorite food.C．Because they wanted to save the trapped rats first.D．Because they were afraid that the chocolate was bad.35. Which of the following animals were NOT mentioned in the passage?A. MonkeysB. ChimpanzeesC. RatsD. Cats36. What does the passage mainly tell us?A．Rats can feel other animals’ pain.B．Chocolate is rats’ favorite food.C．Rats are empathetic and can feel each other’s pain.D．Female rats are more empathetic than male rats.CThey look like common biscuits and don’t taste bad, either. But if they are made with unusual things, like crickets(蟋蟀), do you still dare to try?Three students at Abertay University in Dundee, UK, are using ground-up(磨成粉的) crickets to make biscuits. They are trying to find more sustainable(可持续发展的) food sources to solve world hunger, reported Daily Mail.The students are using Thailand house crickets flour(粉末). About 1,100 crickets can make 100 gram of flour. The cricket flour is then mixed with eggs, butter and wheat flour(全麦面粉). Finally, it is baked to make biscuits.Anja Sieghartsleitner is leading the study. She said that insects are a lot more sustainable than other meats.Insects are easier to raise. They use less water and land, and produce less greenhouse gases than cows and pigs. They also have more protein(蛋白质) than beef, chicken and pork.In fact, in a 2013 report, the United Nations called on more people to eat insects to beat world hunger.Scientists have found more than 1,900 edible(可食用的) insects. Some of these include crickets, beetles(甲虫), grasshoppers(蚂蚱) and cicadas(蝉).People may not want to eat a whole cricket, said Sieghartsleitner. But if it’s hidden away in flour or biscuits, then they may be more likely to accept it. Cricket flour is already for sale on the market, she added.“If we are seeking to feed 9 billion people by 2050, then we have to change our eating behavior,” she said.37. Why do the three UK students use crickets to make food?A. To live a healthy life.B. To help solve world hunger.C. To make some moneyD. To become famous.38. How many crickets does it take to make 1kg of flour?A. 1,100B. 11,000C. 1,900D. 2,05039. Why do they choose insects rather than animals to make new food?a. Insects are smaller.b. Insects are cheaper.c. Insects are easier to raise.d. Insects give off less greenhouse gases.e. Insects are healthier.A. a-b-cB. b-c-dC. c-d-eD. a-d-e40. What can we tell from the story?A. All insects can be eaten.B. The UN called on people to eat insects.C. Most people are unlikely to eat a whole insect.D. Cricket biscuits are for sale on the market.五、看中文，或根据上下文提示写出单词(15’)1.__________(松鼠) living areas are becoming smaller and smaller.2.The snow is much __________(厚的) than it looks.
