【題目】London—Sheep, like turkeys and ostriches, are not considered the most clever animals. British scientists said last Wednesday humans may have underestimated the woolly creature. They could be much smarter than we think.

Researchers at the Babraham Institute in Cambridge, southern England, have shown that the animals have a good memory system and are extremely good at recognizing faces—which they think is a sure sign of intelligence.

Behavioral scientist Keith Kendrick and his friends trained 20 sheep to recognize and distinguish 25 pairs of sheep faces and used electrodes （電極） to measure their brain activity , which showed they could remember 50 faces for up to two years .

“If they can do that with faces, they have to have reasonable intelligence; otherwise, what is the point of having a system for remembering faces and not remembering anything else?” Kendrick said in an interview.

So hours of seemingly mindless eating grass may not be so mindless after all.

Kendrick believes sheep got their reputation as dumb （unable to speak, unintelligent） animals because they live in large groups and do not appear to have much individuality and are frightened of just about everything.

“All animals, including humans, once they are frightened, don’t tend to show signs of intelligent action,” he explained.

In research reported in the science journal Nature, Kendrick and his team showed that sheep, like humans, have a specialized system in the brain which allows them to distinguish between many different faces which look extremely similar.

“The most important finding （of the study） is that they are able , both from a behavioral point of view and from looking at the way the brain is organized , to remember a large number of individuals for a very long time,” said Kendrick. “It is a very strange system. They are showing similar abilities in many ways to humans.”

【1】From the first paragraph we can find that______. .

A．people used to think sheep are smarter than the other animals

B．people used to raise sheep in a wrong way

C．people don’t consider sheep as clever animals

D．people have done a lot of research on sheep

【2】From what Kendrick said in the interview we learn that_____. .

A．scientists have learned everything about sheep’s intelligence

B．scientists have learned a little about sheep’s intelligence

C．scientists can’t do anything more about sheep’s memory

D．scientists do not have to research animals’ memory

【3】As is known in the passage,__________.

A．sheep are among the week animals

B．it is not right for people to raise sheep in groups

C．when sheep eat grass in the field their minds may be active

D．if people feel frightened, they may become braver

【題目】Sometimes it is difficult to talk to taxi drivers. They must give all their attention to the road as they work out the shortest way to the place where you are going. However, passengers from Wangfujing were in surprise when they took a taxi. The driver just would not stop talking - in English.

Organized by the Cultural and Education Section of the British Embassy, “Dare to Speak” examines if Chinese people will speak English in “real-life” situations.

Matthew Knowles, an acting student from South Carolina at Beijing Film Academy, acted the part as the “driver”. He collected six passengers on Saturday morning, most of whom were female white-collar （白領）workers.

“Of course they were surprised at first, wondering why I’m driving a taxi, and wondering whether this is a real taxi, but then most of them were pretty willing to speak,” he said. Knowles said he was also surprised by his “passengers”. “Apart from my first ‘passenger’, who could speak very little English, all the rest spoke English very well, and it was fun to communicate with them,” he said, adding that some “passengers” were quite talkative.

The “foreign taxi driver” project was just one of the “Dare to Speak” activities, which have been going on since the end of October. Other projects included a foreign store owner near a high school in Beijing, a cook in a Shanghai university canteen. They were testing the willingness of Chinese people, especially students and white-collar workers, to speak to foreigners in English.

Rong Xin, senior manager of IELTS （雅思） with the British Embassy, said they hoped to let IELTS takers in China know that communication is the ultimate goal of IELTS.

“We hope that more and more IELTS takers in China can realize the importance of communicating in English in real life, instead of just getting high test scores,” she said.

【1】Why did Matthew Knowles drive a taxi?

A．He took part in the project “Dear to speak”

B．He played the role of a taxi driver in a film.

C．He enjoyed chatting with people in English.

D．He wanted to improve his Chinese while driving.

【2】The Chinese may meet and talk to _______ in “Dear to speak” projects.

A．a white-collar worker B．a foreign store owner

C．a restaurant manager D．a high school student

【3】The underlined word ultimate is closest in meaning to ________.

A．most difficult B．most common

C．most famous D．most important

【4】The purpose of the project “Dear to Speak” is to _______ .

A．attract more foreigners to start business in China

B．draw Chinese people’s attention to IELT

C．remind language learners of the goal of learning

D．give more chances for English learners in China

【題目】 Arriving in Sydney on his own from India, my husband, Rashid, stayed in a hotel for a short time while looking for a house for me and our children.

During the first week of his stay, he went out one day to do some shopping. He came back in the late afternoon to discover that his suitcase was gone. He was extremely worried as the suitcase had all his important papers, including his passport.

My husband rushed to their home to find a kind family holding all his papers and documents. Their young daughter had gone to the trash can and found a pile of unfamiliar papers. Her parents had carefully sorted them out, although they had found mainly foreign addresses on most of the documents. At last they had seen a half-written letter in the pile in which my husband had given his new telephone number to a friend.

【題目】EDINBURGH, Scotland (AP) —they arrived before polling stations even opened, dressed for the school day in striped ties and blazers, dress slacks and tartan skirts, book bags over their shoulders —and, for the first time in British history, ballot (選票) cards in hands on September 18.

Scotland’s experiment of allowing more than 109,000 Scottish teenagers aged 16 to 17 took part in the Scottish independence referendum (公民投票), in which Scotland finally decided not to become independent.

The age group only made up a small part of the 4.29 million total voters, but they have “demonstrated how the youngest voters can be some of the most enthusiastic in a mature democracy”, commented The Associated Press. Casting their ballots, they were “proud and passionate” to help their nation decide whether to break away from the UK after 307 years in union.

At age 16, Scottish residents are allowed to join the military, get married, and work. Eighteen is the legal drinking age, as well as the UK’s voting age. But in 2013, Scottish law was changed to allow 16- and 17-year-olds in Scotland to vote in the referendum. The government pushed for the change because “younger voters are more likely to vote with their hearts, not their heads—and embrace fundamental change by voting for the pro-independence Yes Scotland campaign”, NBC News said.

But when the decision was handed down, some worried that high school students might not be as informed as adult voters. However, many experts said that assumption was wrong.

Professor Jan Eichhorn of the University of Edinburgh insisted that Scottish teenagers were as likely to read newspaper articles and campaign materials as their parents. They would simply get these resources through social media.

“There’s no evidence to suggest that they’re less capable than adults of voting, from a research point of view,” Eichhorn told NPR.

Scotland’s move to let younger teenagers vote in the referendum has led to a discussion about whether the voting age ought to be lowered to 16, both in the UK and the US.

“By 16, most people have about as stable an ideology (思想意識) as they are going to get,” Professor Jason Brennan of Georgetown University wrote for CNN, arguing that the US should also think about allowing younger US citizens to vote.

【1】The Scottish independence referendum was held on Sept. 18 ______.

A. to encourage youngsters to be concerned with politics

B. to lower the minimum voting age to 16 for the referendum

C. to decide whether Scotland would become independent from the UK

D. to elect who would be the new leader of Scotland

【2】According to the passage, we can learn ______.

A. Scotland gained its independence from the UK eventually.

B. It is possible for the USA to lower the voting age to 16 in the future.

C. All the people in Scotland thought highly of the government’s decision to lower the voting age to 16.

D. Scottish teenagers aged 16 are allowed to join the military, get married, work and drink alcohol now.

【3】What does the underlined word “embrace” (in para.4) probably mean?

A. Admit toB. Object to

C. Know aboutD. Approve of

【4】What is Jan Eichhorn’s opinion of the Scottish teenagers aged 16 to 17?

A. They are as informed and capable as adults of voting.

B. They make no difference to the voting result.

C. They are too enthusiastic to make informed decisions.

D. They are unwilling to be involved in the decision of the country’s future.
