In one test a scientist sets three samecans on a table. While the animal watches, he puts food under one of the cans. Then he leads the animal away. Some time later, he brings it back to see if it remembers which can has the food. No smelling is allowed; the animal must go directly to the correct can or it fails.This is called a delayed- response text. The idea is to find out how long an animals memory can keep information. The scientists would try showing the cans to the animal one hour later, or two hours later, or even a full day later. They discovered that chimpanzees and elephants had the best memory, and were able to remember the correct can for at least twenty hours. No other animal is close. Dogs came next, but they only remembered for nine hours.To settle the matter, the scientists designed a huge maze (迷宫) and ran the chimps and elephants throughit. The maze was very difficult, with many blind paths and dead ends. It took the chimps (chimpanzees) ten minutes to find their way out. The elephants needed half an hour. Even allowing for the elephants slower rate of speed, the test shows that chimpanzees are the cleverest animals.From this and other tests, the scientists drew the following conclusion: an animals intelligence depends on the size of its brain in proportion (比例) to the size of its body. The elephants brain weighs ten pounds. But this is only 1/600th of its 6,000 pounds body. A chimps brain weighs about one pound, or 1/120th of its total body weight. So in proportion to its body size, the chimp has four times as much brain as the elephant-more brain for less body. The chimp is the champ!4. Which is the best title?A. The Elephants MemoryB.

Worried about an industry wide writers strike, struck by a series of theater-chain bankruptcies(破产), burdened with unreasonable corporate profit, requirements and seemingly incapable of producing consistently creative movies, the American film industry is in a period of soul-searching. Theres little doubt it will survive this crisis. But most insiders agree there is disease at both ends of the businesswhere films are produced, and where theyre shown-that may take years to overe.While annual box-office ine increases for nine straight years, largely due to increased ticket prices, the number of actual tickets sold declined for the second year in a row. The construction boom has added nearly 10,000 theaters (more than 200,000 more seats) in the last five years. But due to a static(静止的)audience base, eight major chains have gone into bankruptcy and several others are in terrible financial situations.In fact, insiders say, Hollywood is now in a business it does not want to be in. “Theres a general problem because the panies that have the most consistent output of material are least interested in what theyre making,” says former 20th Century Fox CEO, Bill. And, Bill adds, “Were in a period where movies are getting bigger and more costly and less interesting and fulfilling to an audience.”Today the studios are under the stress to increase profit margins(营业利润) for their corporate parents, and profit margins are hard to control in a business whose products are seen as impulse buys. Other business can increase profits by cutting costsbuying cheaper material, or making the candy bar smaller. Not Hollywood.“What were cutting is risk,” says the head of one major studio, who asked not to be named, “And risk is what great film has always demanded.” While the studios are avoiding risky concepts, their petitors in the home entertainment business have been expanding the boundaries of the imagination. It was this pressure-in electronic games, the Internet-that forced the movie theater chains into a self-destructive craze of expansion.11.

Being unable to produce creative movies.12. What has directly caused major theater-chains in terrible financial situations?A. Bigger movies.B. More costly movies.C. Increased ticket prices.D. More theaters but an unchangeable audience base.13. What do we know about the profit of the film industry?A. Its not easy to control the profit.B. The studios can shorten the material.C. Cutting the cost can increase the profit.D. The studios can buy cheap material to increase profits.14. Whats the main idea of the passage?A. Hollywood will survive financial crisis.B. Hollywood is on the edge of destruction.C. Its hard to increase the profits of the studios.D. The construction boom leads to theater-chain bankruptcies.第二节（共 5 小题; 每小题 2 分，共 10 分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。They are both so much related to each other. And both are so dissimilar! What are the differences between friendship and love? Is platonic(柏拉图式的) friendship possible between persons of the opposite sex? 36 What is friendship? Why do we call a person our friend? When do we call someone a very good friend? If we care for a person, if we are always ready to help that person and if we share most of our thoughts with a person, they are our good friends. We can always count upon our good friends in an emergency. We are always sure that our friends will understand why we acted in a certain way. 37 The friendship is so deep and the relationship is so intimate that most of the things are automatically understood by our friends. 38 In a relationship of deep love, all the sharing that we discussed above is taken for granted. But love transcends(超出) all this. During love, we are attached to a particular person, while in friendship, one may have many friends. A loving relationship makes one so much attached to the other that one gets pained if his/her beloved is hurt! Love also involves a physical element. 39 . Nature gives us love so that the species can go forward. Nature does not give us friendship.Your heart beats will never increase in anticipation of meeting your friend. 40 You will not feel totally lost, if you dont meet your friend for a few days.
