Their studies of animal behaviour build up a picture of how communication and social skills developed. “Were interested in how they communicate,” said lead researcher Jennifer Wathan.“And being sensitive to what another individual is thinking is a fundamental skill from which other more complex skills develop.”Ms Wathan and her colleague Prof Karen McComb set up a behavioural experiment where 72 individual horses had to use visual cues from another horse in order to choose where to feed. They led each horse to a point where it had to select one of two buckets. On a wall behind this decision-making spot was a life-sized photograph of a horses head facing either to left or right. In some of the trials, the horses ears or eyes were covered. If the ears and eyes of the horse in the picture were visible, the horses being tested would choose the bucket towards which its gaze - and its ears - were directed. If the horse in the picture had either its eyes or its ears covered, the horse being tested would just choose a feed bucket at random.Like many mammals that are hunted by predators（捕食者）, horses can rotate（旋转）their ears through almost 180 degrees - but Ms Wathan said that in our human-centric view of the world, we had overlooked the importance of these very mobile ears in animal communication.It seems theres something in the visual cues - from both the eyes and the ears - that are really important, she told BBC News. Horses have quite rich social lives and relationships with other horses, so theyre a good species to look at this in. And the more we look at communication across different species, the more we can consider what might have promoted the evolution of sophisticated communication and social skills.24. Why does a horse rotate its ears?A. To tell each other where they can go for the buckets.B. To be curious about what the other horse is thinking.C. To warn the other horse when an attacker is coming closer.D. To express its hope to build up social relations with others.25. Why did the researchers use the life-sized photograph of a horse in the experiment?A. To help develop horses complex skills.B. To lead other horses to feed themselves.C. To make the horses in the experiment excited.D. To provide clues for the horses in the experiment.26. Why are ears and eyes important to horses?A. They can find the feeding buckets more easily with ears and eyes.B. With ears and eyes they can escape from dangers more easily.C. With ears and eyes they can communicate with other horses.D. Horses have quite rich social lives with ears and eyes.27. What can be the best title of the passage?A. Rotary Ears Serve as Communication Tools.B. Horses Have More Social Skills than Other Species.C. Experiments with Horses Ears.D. Fundamental Skills of Horses.CI had a great time this past summer visiting Stone Mountain Park with my twin grandsons. I had the opportunity to spend the day with them seeing the various sights and attractions. One thing that my grandsons had really wanted to do that particular day was to climb to the top of the mountain. Stone Mountain isnt a particularly tall mountain and fortunately has walking trails to the top, but for two 5-year olds, along with grandpa, its a formidable task.Since my grandsons enthusiasm was much greater than mine, I decided to start the slow walk up the mountain. The beginning part of the trail was slow and gradual. It seemed like we were taking forever to climb just a short distance, but I had to remind myself that it took 3 of their steps to equal 1 of mine, so I found myself walking ahead of them, then having to stop and let them catch up, over and over again.I was tired and sweaty, just wanting to get to the top of the mountain so I could rest well before starting my way back. I learned early on during our walk that this wasnt going to be the case. We had to stop and look at every large rock with someones name carved in it. We looked at unususal plant formations. We examined large trees and we explored small rock overhangs that reminded the kids of caves. My grandsons viewed the walk as an exciting adventure. Climbing the mountain was a trial to me but my grandsons were not focused at all on the trial of climbing the mountain; they were simply enjoying the journey of the walk.I know when I face a trial in life, I tend to always think of the problem. I want the trial to be over quickly and let life get back to normal. What can I learn during the course of the trial? At some point, the trial will be over and well be joyous for sure.However, the real joy should not be that the trials over, but I am celebrating what I learned during the journey.28. What does the underlined word“formidable”in Paragraph 1 mean?A. Relaxing B. Meaningful. C. Strange D. Difficult.29. What can we know from Paragraph 2?A. The writer kept challenging his grandsons to catch up with him.B. Old as the writer was , he walked much faster than his grandsons.C. The writer and his grandsons walked up the mountain very fast at the beginning.D. The writer was more eager to climb to the top of the mountain than his grandsons.30. Why did the writer only want to reach the mountain top? A. To have a good rest B. To get a better view C. To enjoy unusual plants. D. To see large rocks carved with names.31. What can be the best title of the text? A. A tiring day spent with grandsons. B. Joy coming from mountain-climbing. C. A life lesson learnt form grandsons. D. Learning to enjoy the journey.DWe all have an idea about the common types of environmental problems. However, light pollution may be a newterm to many of us.
