You would work in areas such as scientific analysis, the health service, and education. If you are interested in practical science, testing and analyzing things, this job could be perfect for you.Having a curious mind and an eye for detail will help you solve problems in the lab. You’ll also need to be well aware of health and safety. To become a laboratory or lab technician, you would usually need at least four GCSEs(普通中等教育证书)including science, maths and English. For some jobs employers may expect you to have A levels or degree.Whatever area you work in, your main duties are likely to include setting up experiments or investigations, carrying out risk assessments (评估) for lab activities, collecting and analyzing samples, preparing solutions and cultures recording and presenting data, and making sure that equipment is clean and in good working order.In an educational setting, you would also set up equipment and show experiments. You would usually work in a team that includes scientists and other technicians. With experience you may also guide lab support workers or junior technicians.You will usually work 37 hours a week as a full-time lab technician. You will usually work in sterile（无菌的）lab conditions and wear protective clothing such as lab coats, safety glasses and gloves. In some industries, you may need to travel to carry out field work or collect samples for analysis.Starting salaries for lab technicians are around $15,000 a year. With experience this can rise to between $20,000 and $25,000. Senior lab technicians may earn $30,000 a year or more.56. To become a lab technician, you should have .A. a college degreeB. at least A levels of four subjectsC. four GCSEs of any four subjectsD.four GCSEs including science, maths and English57.Which of the following may NOT be one of the main duties of a lab technician?A.Collecting samples.B.Checking equipment.C.Doing experiments alone.D.Preparing for experiments58.The text is meant to .A. Recommend various jobsB.find laboratory techniciansC.tell about laboratory techniciansD.help people become interested in scienceBOnly 1 in 10 people could or would perform CPR if someone needed it, with most people choosing instead to wait for emergency services to help. But unfortunately emergency services come too late for more than 140,000 people a year.So what’s the solutio n? How can we increase the confidence and skills of a nation so that we are all ready and capable of delivering first aid to our families, friends, co-workers and even strangers in the street? Many believe we should begin by teaching first aid to children in schools. In Wales and Ireland, this is already the case with first aid being a compulsory part of the curriculum, but in Scotland and here in England, this is not the case.Maisie Parkinson, aged just 11, learned basic first aid skills during lessons at Derby High School and put them to use when her mother Rachel dropped a scalding hot drink on her head. Although the injury wasn’t life or death. Maisie knew enough to cool the burn under cold running water and remove her mother’s ring to stop swelling . S he stayed calm throughout, proving thatshe has the confidence and the ability to act quickly in an emergency!The Red Cross believes that every child aged between five and 11 should be taught basic first aid, which helps them to stay safe and save lives in emergency situations. It will ensure that from the day they learn their new skills, we have a new culture of first aid, with a whole generation of children growing up with the skills and confidence to save a life.Children are less likely to experience the "Bystander Effect". So if you faint , have a heart attack or fall and break a bone and if there is a child present you are much more likely to get the help you need.By teaching children life-saving skills they will always have them ready to help their classmates and families and will take these skills with them whenever they go for the rest of their lives.59.What does the author want to show by mentioning the fact in Paragraph 1?A. Learning first aid is necessary.B. Many deaths can be prevented.C. Performing CPR is challenging.D. Emergency services are not qualified.60.How dis Maisie Parkinson react when her mother burned her hand?A. She tried to handle it but failed.B. She called emergency services.C. She was afraid her mother would dieD. She took action calmly and confidently.61.Which of the following benefits of children’ s learning first aid is NOT mentioned?A. Developing a new culture of first aidB. Children will have the skills all their lives.C. Children are less likely to get injured themselves.D Those in need of first aid are more likely to be helped.62.What is the main idea of the text?A. Children can perform first aid.B. Emergency services should be improved.C. It’s importan t for everyone to learn first aid.D. First aid should be included in school education.CWhen babies are just 3 to 4 months old, they can pick out images differences that adults never noticed. But after the age of four months, the infants lose their duper-sight abilities, reports Susana Martinez-Conde for Science America.The reasons why adults-or even babies older than about 8 months - don't have it is that over time our brains learn what differences are important to notice. For example, when adults and look out at the images of a snail, they typically say that glossy(光滑的)snail A and glossy snail B are the most similar. The matte（表面无光泽的）snail C seems to be different. But a baby can tell that snail B and snail C are actually more similar. Though it is hard for adults to seem snail A stands out from the others- The surface of this snails reflects very different lighting conditions babies are more sensitive to that image difference.Researchers based in Tokyo, Japan explored this ability of very young children by testing 42 infants ranging in age from 3 months to eight months. Since these babies couldn't yet talk the researchers tracked their perception of images based on how long the babies stared at each image. Previous research ahs shown that when the a baby see something they consider new , they starelonger , objects they are familiar with, only a passing glance.The time differences in gaze showed that the three-and four-months-old babies noticed the lightning difference and were less impressed with differences in the surface-weather the images were glossy or matte. But by the time the infants are 7 to 8 months old , their vision is closer to that of adults and they can no longer see the difference. Scientists call this type of change of perceptual narrowing, meaning that attention for classes and that people can't miss out on certain differences. It's a normal part of the development of the brain and the vision.The loss of sensitivity isn't anything to mourn, though. The babies are keying in a difference that amounts to light changes, not a change and object itself. Adults instead recognize that this is the same snail , even if the environment around it has shifted in someway. Ignoring that relatively meaningless differences is a way that human tune our perception to our environment, allowing us to navigate it efficiently and successfully," Martinez-Conde writes for Science America. "even if it's left a large part of reality forever outside our reach." She adds.63.Adults don’t have super-sight abilities like babies because .A.adults do not care about normal thingsB.they have had eyesight unimportant differencesC.they have had eyesight after they grow upD.babies are good at identifying unfamiliar things64.Babies can tell the snails apart according to .A.the colors of the snails’ surfaceB.the light conditions in the laboratoryC.the degree of familiarity with the imagesD.the amount of light reflected by snails’ surface65.According to the last paragraph, what can be inferred from Marinez-Conde’s words?A. It is necessary for humans to evolve at a fast speed.B. It is a pity that humans cannot see small light changes.C. People can find reality with the changing of environment.D. The loss of sensitivity results from environmental adaptions.66.What is the purpose of the passage?A. To show the steps of a new study.B. To present the result of a new studyC. To explain the purpose of a new study.D. To stress the importance of a new study.DWhen I told my father that I was moving to Des Moines, Iowa, he told me about the only time he had been there. It was in the 1930s, when he was an editor if the literary magazine of Southern Methodist University（SMU）in Dallas, Texas. He also worked as a professor at SMU, and there was a girl student in his class who suffered from a serious back disease. She couldn;t afford the operation because her family was poor.Her mother ran a boardinghouse in Galveston, a seaside town near Houston, Texas. She was cleaning out the attic（阁楼）one day when she came across an old dusty manuscript（手稿）. On its top page were the words, “By O. Henry”. It was a nice story, and she sent it to her daughter at SMU, who showed it to my father. My father had never read the story before, but it sounded likeO. Henry, and he knew that O. Henry had once lived in Houston. So it was possible that the famous author had gone to the beach and stayed in the Gainestown boardinghouse, and had written the story there and left the manuscript behind by accident. My father visited an O. Henry expert at Columbia University in New York, who authenticated the story as O. Henry’s.My father then set out to sell it. Eventfully, he foud himself in Des Moines, meeting with Gardner Cowles, a top editor at the Des Moines Register. Cowles loves the story and bought it on the spot. My father took the money to the girl. It was just enough for her to have the operation she so desperately needed.My father never told me what the O. Henry story was about. But i doubt that it could have been better than his own story.67.Who found the O. Henry’s manuscript?A．The girl’s mother.B．The author’s father.C．The girl. D．The author.68.Which of the following might explain the fact that the manuscript was found in the attic? A．O. Henry once worked in Houston.B．O. Henry once stayed in Galveston.C．O. Henry once moved to Des Moines.D．O. Henry once taught at SMU.69.The underlined word “authenticated” in Paragraph 2 probably means __________. A．named B．treatedC．proved D．Described70.According to the text, why did the author’s father go to Des Moines?A. To meet the author himself.B. To sell the O.Henry story.C. To talk with the O.Henry expert.D. To give money to the girl.第II卷第一节任务型阅读：请认真阅读下面短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入最合适的单词。

His idea was to begin the Olympics all over again.Sports teachers of other countries liked de Coubertion’s ideas. So in 1896, the modern Olympic Games were held in Athens（雅典）, Greece. Since then the Olympics have been held once every four years, except three times, when there were wars.Before the start of the Olympic Games, runners carry lighted torch（火炬）through many nations towards the stadium（运动场）where the games will be held. These sportsmen are from different countries. Yet they work together to carry the Olympic torch. It is passed from runner to runner. When the last runner enters the stadium, he or she places the torch in a special（专门的）basin filled with oil. It catches fire. It is then, only then, that the Olympic Games can begin.The Olympic flame（火焰）burns throughout the games. It is the flame of peace.21.

It looked as if the Romans would win.One night, the leader of the Scots marched his soldiers to the top of a hill. “We will rest here tonight, my men,” he said, “Tomorrow we will fight one more battle（战役）. We must win, or we will die.”They were all very tired. So they ate their supper quickly and fell asleep. There were four guards on duty, but they were very tired, too, and one by one, they fell asleep.The Romans were not asleep. Quickly they gathered at the foot of the hill. Slowly they went up the hill. Closer they came to the sleeping Scots. They were almost at the top. A few minutes more the war would be over. Suddenly, one of them put his foot on a thistle (蓟). He cried out and his sudden cry woke the Scots. In a minute they were on their feet and ready for a battle. The fighting was hard, but it did not last long. The Scots wiped out the Romans and saved Scotland（苏格兰）.The thistle is not a beautiful plant. It has sharp needles all over it. Few people liked it.

Three years ago, few people would go swimming in the icy waters. But now there is a Winter-swimming Enthusiasts’ Club（冬泳爱好者协会）and it has more than 2 000 members. The oldest is 84 years old and the youngest is only 7. The members are from all walks of life. They may be workers, peasants, soldiers, teachers, students…Though it is now the coldest part of the season and the water temperatu re in the city’s lakes is around 0℃, many winter-swimmers still swim in the icy waters, even when it is snowing. They enjoy themselves in the lake, while the people by the side of the lake are wearing heavy clothes. Why are so many people interested in winter-swimming? Because winter-swimming can be good for one’s health.Bei Sha is a good example. He is 69, and he once suffered from（患……病）heart trouble for 26 years. After ten years of winter-swimming he is now in good health. Scientists are now studying the effects of winter-swimming on health.28. Among the winter-swimmers the oldest man is_______ years older than the youngest one.A. 91B. 84C. 77D. 729. Guess what “The members are from all walks of life” means?A. The members do different jobs at different places.B. They come from all parts of Beijing.C. They are persons of different ages.D. They are men and women, old and young.30 The winter-swimmers are able to swim in the icy waters, even on snowy days because______.A. they are not afraid of coldnessB. they often swim in the icy watersC. they know that they can benefit（得益）from itD. winter-swimming can make people healthy31. Winter-swimming has become popular in Beijing because ________________.A. more and more people like to swim in BeijingB. it is more interesting than swimming in summerC. winter-swimmers are brave menD. winter-swimming does a lot of good to one’s healthDThe Americans and British use different greetings. In the USA the commonest greeting is "Hi". In Britain it is "Hello!" or "How are you?". "Hi!" is creeping into (不知不觉地进入) British, too. When they are introduced to someone, the Americans say, "Glad to know you." The British say, "How do you do?" or "Pleased to meet you." When Americans say "Good-bye", they nearly always add, "Have a good day," or "Have a good trip," etc. to friends and strangers alike. Britains are beginning to use "Have a good day."The British usually use "have got" in the sense of "have". The Americans hardly ever do.Am. E:--- Do you have a car, room, etc.?--- Yes, I do.Br. E:--- Have you got a car, room, etc.?--- Yes, I have.There are a number of differences between American English and British English in the spelling of words, for example, check (US) / cheque (UK); center (US) / centre (UK). Many American English words ending in "or" such as honor, vigor, labor are spelt in British English with an "our" like honour, vigour, labour. Many verbs in American English with "ize" or "izing" forms such as organize, realizing are spelt in British English with "ise" or "ising" like organise, realising. In American English, "practice" is used as both a verb and a noun. In British English, the verb is spelt "practise", and the noun "practice". And in the main, American English avoids the doubling up of consonants(辅音字母) in nouns and verbs while British English does not. In American English, for example, one writes "travel, traveled, traveling, traveler" while in British English one writes "travel, travelled, travelling, traveller".It was once predicted(预测) that British English and American English would become separate languages finally. But the opposite has happened. The links between the two countries are so strong that linguistically(语言上), and probably culturally too, they are closer together than ever.32. The Americans hardly sayA. Good-bye, have a good day!B. Glad to know you!C. Hi!D. Have you got a car?33. An Englishman writes .A. cheque; centerB. honor; organizeC. traveled; practiceD. labour; traveller34. What does the third paragraph talk about?A. There are lots of differences in spelling between Am. E and Br. E.B. Why the Americans and the British use different spellings.C. There are few differences in spelling between Am. E and Br. E.D. The different usages of words in Am. E and Br.E.35. What is the passage mainly talking about?A. British English and American English would become separate languages finally.B. The differences between British English and American English in every way.C. The differences between British English and American English in greetings and spellings.D. British English and American English are closer together than ever.短文7选5（共5小题；共10分）It is easy for some people to learn a second language. However, others have difficulty in learning a new language.

2010-2023历年—江苏省南通中学高一第一学期期中考试英语试卷第1卷一.参考题库(共20题)1.Without proper planning, tourism can cause problems. For example, too many tourists can crowd public places that are also enjoyed by the inhabitants of a country. If tourists create too much traffic, the inhabitants become annoyed and unhappy. They begin to dislike tourists and to treat them impolitely. They forget how much tourism can help the country’s economy. It is important to think about the people of a destination country and how tourism affects them. Tourism should help a country keep the customs and beauty that attract tourists. Tourism should also advance the well-being of local inhabitants.Too much tourism can be a problem. If tourism grows too quickly, people must leave other jobs to work in the tourism industry. This means that other parts of the country’s economy can suffer.On the other hand, if there is not enough tourism, people can lose jobs. Business can also lose money. It costs a great deal of money to build large hotels, airports, first-class roads, and other support facilities needed by tourist attractions. For example, a major international-class tourism hotel can cost as much as 50 thousand dollars per room to build. If the room is not used most of the time, the owners of the hotel lose money. 1.___________: TourismAdvantages●Helping develop 2. __________●Keeping the 3. _________and beauty●Advancing the well-being of local people●4._________ more jobs5. __________●6._________ other parts of the country’s economy●Making p ublic places 7._________●Increasing 8._________ on traffic●9._______ a large amount of money to build infrastructures●Causing a 10._____ of money if the facilities are left unused2.—Bob!

And one of them is the Holiday Inn Hotel, with rooms built around a swimming pool and a friendly family atmosphere.The Holiday Inn is where Manhattan people often go for a special party, or a night out.A lot of them choose to eat in the brightly lighted restaurant near the pool. And many of them will be served by Ellen Logan, who has worked as a waitress here for more than two years.Ellen, like most of the waitresses, is also a student. She comes from Nebraska, but she’s planning one day to be aveterinary surgeon, and to care for small animals. But in order to support herself at college, she works twenty hours a week at the Holiday Inn.Ellen soon learned what every waitress finds out. Your best friend has a good pair of shoes. She paid forty -five dollars for hers, much more than she would usually spend. She’s discovered something else too. You don’t have to know much about food to be a good waitress, but you do have to know a lot about people.“A lot of business people always stay here when they come to Manhattan,” she explains. “They like you to recognize them and remember their favorite dishes. But some couples come for a night out together. They just want to be left alone. Then there are people who can’t make up their minds. They look down the menu and say‘What do you suggest?’So I ask them how hungry they are. If they say, ‘Not very’, I suggest the salad bar, with soup, salad, bread, and a fruit plate. But if they say they’re very hungry, I suggest a Kansas Strip Steak, with potatoes or rice. You get salad and bread as well. It’s very nice. Real good value.”Ellen may get tired feet sometimes, but at least she’s learning too much about people. She’ll probably make a good animal doctor, but if she find she doesn’t like it after all, she can always become a psychiatrist（心理医生）instead.【小题1】A good title for this passage is______________.A．Ellen Logan at the Holiday InnB．American Holiday InnC．A Special Holiday Inn Hotel in ManhattanD．How to Deal with People【小题2】The word “a veterinary surgeon” probably means____________.A．an animal doctor.B．an animal trainerC．a hotel managerD．a food expert【小题3】From the passage we can infer that_______________.A．waitresses in the Holiday Inn are all studentsB．waitresses are required to buy a good pair of shoes before they go to work C．waitresses should be familiar with the food thereD．it is more important for the waitresses to know much about people than food【小题4】 According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT true?A．The Holiday Inn hotel is one of the big surprises in Manhattan. B．Businessmen like to be recognized by the people and suggested what to eat. C．Some couples prefer to be left alone without being bothered too much.D．One of the reasons why people like to eat in the hotel is that it is full of a friendly atmosphere.9.The ______ look on her face suggested that she _________ such a result. A．puzzling; hadn’t expectedB．puzzled; hadn’t expectedC．puzzling; wouldn’t expectD．puzzled; shouldn’t expect10.小明减肥以后，感到身体疲倦、虚弱，不知如何是好，于是他写了一封电子邮件向健康专家求教。

2019-2020学年南通市第一中学高三英语上学期期中考试试题及答案第一部分阅读（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项AThank you. It’s my great honor to be given this award.You cannot imagine that I have always been a late starter. Years ago, when I was 16, I took an important exam — GCE(General Certificate of Education), which turned out to be a failure. My dad was reading my report card and saw that my position in class was 29th, but the number in class was 29. It meant that I had achieved the distinction of being bottom of my class.I wasn’t lazy, and I was really trying. You can picture how I felt. Dad put his hand on my shoulder and said, “You can only do the best you can, but whatever you decide to do, make sure you love it.” He was a really sweet guy and a great man. I knew his attempt to hide his disappointment with some of his encouraging words. I was depressed for a week, but his advice was a wake-up call.Fortunately I love working with my hands, and I was good at two things: woodwork and art, and I really loved to draw and paint. I was quite talented. Dad strongly encouraged me to go to art school, which in those days wasn’t the obvious place that a father would suggest.So I got into Hartlepool College of Art. The college was a revelation (出乎意料), the passionate teachers there, who were extremely interested in the students, not just tolerating them but actually engaging with them. It was a world apart from my schooling until then. It’s extraordinary what an enthusiastic teacher can do, drawing the student out, lighting independence, and encouraging a design of your own future, rather than waiting for something to happen. I’m honored to have become one of these passionate teachers years later.My teachers inspired me, and thanks to my dad, here I am tonight. I think I should mention all the talents I have worked with over time, and to my kids and my wife Giannina, thank you.Thank you for this great award. I shall find a very special place for it.1. How did the author feel after taking GCE?A. Happy.B. Upset.C. Tired.D. Relieved.2. What didHartlepoolCollege of Art impress the author most?A. The teachers were strict with students.B. The students set good examples for each other.C. The teachers inspired students’ passion for learning.D. The students got prepared for their lessons independently.3. The author gave this speech to ________.A. share his career choiceB. explain his teaching methodsC. describe his life experienceD. show his appreciationBHoneybees can’t swim, and when their wings are wet, they can’t fly, either. But Chris Roh and other researchers at the California Institute of Technology found that when bees drop into bodies of water, they can use their wings toproduce little waves and slide toward land-like surfers who create and then ride their own waves.As with many scientific advances-IsaacNewton’s apple or Benjamin Franklin’s lightning bolt-Dr. Roh’s experiment began with a walk. Passing Caltech’s Millikan Pond in 2016, he observed a bee on the water’s surface producing waves. He wondered how an insect known for flight could push itself through water.Dr. Roh and his co-worker, Morteza Gharib, used butterfly nets to collect localPasadenahoneybees and observed their surf-like movements. The researchers used a wire to restrict each bee’s bodily movement, allowing close examination of their wings. They found that the bee bends its wings at a 30-degree angle, pulling up water and producing a forward force. Bees get trapped on the surface because water is roughly three times heavier than air. But that weight helps to push the bee forward when its wings move quickly up and down. It’s a tough exercise for the bees, which the researchers guess could handle about 10 minutes of the activity.The researchers said the surf-like movement hasn’t been documented in other insects and most semiaquatic insects use their legs forpropulsion, which is known as water-walking. It may have evolved in bees, they-predicted.Dr. Roh and Dr. Gharib have imagined many practical applications for bees’ surfing. One plan is to use their observations to design robots able to travel across sky and sea. “This could be useful for search and rescues, or for getting samples of the surface of the ocean, if you can’t send a boat or helicopter,” Dr. Gharib said.4. What does the author intend to show by mentioningNewtonandFranklin?A. Roh’s admiration for them.B. Roh’s chance discovery about bees.C. Their outstanding talent for science.D. Their similar achievements in discovery.5. What plays the most vital role in a bee’s moving forward on water?A. The air weight.B. Its leg extension.C. The water movement.D. Its continuous wingbeat.6. What does the underlined word “propulsion” in Paragraph 4 mean?A. Fast flightB. Driving force.C. Pulling speed.D. Explosive power.7. What does the text mainly tell us?A. Honeybees can surf to safety.B. Bees help scientists make inventions.C. Insects can adapt to the environment.D. Nature is a helpful guide for discovery.CIt's a popular belief that a fish's memory lasts for only seven seconds. It may seem sad to think that they don't remember what they've eaten or where they’ve been, and they don't identify you or any of their friends--every moment intheir life would be like seeing the world for the first time.But don't be so quick to feel sorry for them. A new study has found that fish have a much better memory than we used to think. In fact, certain species of fish can even remember events from as long as 12 days ago. In the study, researchers from Mac Ewan University in Canada trained a kind of fish called African cichlids to go to a certain area of their tank to get food.They then waited for 12 days before putting them back in the tank again. Researchers used computer software to monitor the fish’s movements.They found that after such a long break the fish still went to the same place where they first got food. This suggested that they could remember their past experiences.In fact. scientists had been thinking for a long time that African cichlids might have a good memory. An earlier study showed that they behaved aggressively(挑衅地) in front of certain fish, perhaps because they remembered their past "fights".But until the latest findings, there was no clear evidence.Just as a good memory can make our lives easier, it also plays an important part when a fish is trying to survivein the wild. "If fish are able to remember that a certain area contains safe food, they will be able to go back to that area without putting their lives at risk,"lead researcher Trevor Hamilton told Live Science.For a long time, fish were placed far below chimpanzees, dolphins and mice on the list of smart animals.But this study has given scientists a new understanding of their intelligence.8. According to the text, people commonly believe that ______.A. fish don't recognize any of their friendsB. a fish's memory lasts for only seven minutesC. fish can only remember part of their past experiencesD. fish can remember things that happened long ago9. How can fish benefit most from a good memory?A. They can remember their enemies and fight.B. They can remember where to get food and survive.C. They can remember their friends and help each other.D. They can remember where to go when in danger.10. What can we learn from the text?A. Only African cichlids have a good memory.B. African cichlids can remember things for 12 days.C. African cichlids always treat other fish aggressively.D. African cichlids don't belong to the list of smart animals.11. What is the text mainly about?A. What we can learn from fish.B. Fish having a very bad memory.C. How fish improve their memory.D. Fish being smarter than we thought.DChimps use loud calls and gestures to make their feelings known but until now, the exact meaning for individual movements has remained a mystery. Now researchers believe they have translated the key gestures used in the chimp community and identified their intentions for the first time.From 4,351 gestures, experts were able to identify 66 that are used for 19 specific message meanings, including showing a foot to tell a child they can climb on their back. The researchers were able to narrow down these 66 gestures to 36 that are used intentionally to achieve 15 purposes. The translations were made by Dr Catherine Hobaiter and her colleagues at St Andrews University in Scotland.Dr Hobaiter used behavior sampling and filmed all recorded cases of gestural communication. Other gestures include stomping their feet to ask another chimp to stop what they are doing, and slapping objects together to ask another to follow them. Of the 19 meanings,17 encouraged interactions to start, or to develop, such as “move closer,” and “change play”. Some of the gestures were found to have more than one meaning. and only 10 of the 66 gestures were used for only a single meaning.Researchers collected a total of 471 video clips from two social groups of chimps at a shelter near Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of Congo. As well as identifying what the gesture means, they also discovered the techniqueneeded to increase the chances of success.“Human children use gestures to communicate before they produce their first words, and their earliest gestures typically appear around 10 months of age,” explained the researchers. “In great apes, there is good evidence that language-trained individuals are capable of acquiring and understanding signals, but this is far less clear in their natural communication. ”12. Chimps slap the objects to____________.A. tell others to stop what they are doingB. ask others chimps to join themC. gather other chimps to move closerD. encourage interactions to start13. What did researchers find after studying 471 video clips?A. Chimps trained in language are good at understanding signals.B. Two social groups of chimps live at a shelter near Kinshasa.C. Language-trained individuals do well in natural communication.D. Chimps’earliest gestures appear around 10 months of age.14. How is the last paragraph developed?A. By analyzing causes.B. By examining differences.C By making comparisons. D. By following time order.15. What can be a suitable title for the text?A A New Research on Chimps B. Human Children and ChimpsC. Getting the Chimps Trained for LanguageD. Translating the Sign Language of Chimps第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10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。
