19、ting habits.CWe know that our pet dogs and cats can recognize our faces, but our pet fish? A team of scientists from the UK and Australia have discovered that archer-fish(喷水鱼 ) can distinguish human faces!This marks the first time that a species of fish has shown such an ability. Such abilities have
20、 been previously shown in birds, but unlike fish, they have been proven to possess structures similar to the neocortex(大脑新皮层), the researchers added.“Being able to distinguish between a large number of human faces is a surprisingly difficult task, ” Dr Newport said, “mainly due to the fact that all
21、human faces share the same basic features.”During their experiments, Dr Newport and her colleagues presented archerfish with two images of human f aces, and trained them to choose one by spitting jets(喷射流)of water at that picture. Next, the fish were presented with the familiar face and several that
22、 were unfamiliar, and were able to correctly pick the one that they had been trained to recognize, even when features such as head shape and color were removed from the selected pictures.In the first experiment, the archerfish were tasked with picking the previously learned face from a group of 44 n
23、ew ones, which they did with 81 percent accuracy. In the second, the researchers decided to make things a little harder. They took the pictures and made them black and white and evened out (使平均) the head shapes. You would think that would throw the fish for a loop. But no, they were able to pick the
24、 familiar face even thenand with more accuracy: 86%!“Fish have a simpler brain than humans and entirely lack the section of the brain that humans use for recognizing faces. Despite this, fish may still be capable of findi ng the face they are trained to recognize,” Dr Newport said. “The fact that ar
25、cherfish can learn this task suggests that complicated brains are not necessarily needed to recognize human faces.”8. What does the underlined word “they” in paragraph 2 refer to?A Species B. Birds. C. Fish. D. Abilities.9. The research shows that _.A archerfish are cleverer than other fishes. B. al

28、undred years ago the English poet William Wordsworth wrote “I wander d Lonely as a Cloud”, a poem that expresses a basic spirit of early English Romanticism.What makes this poem an example of Romantic thinking? It isnt just that Wordsworth chooses to write about natural scene：it is the way he descri
29、bes the scene as if it had human emotions. For him, nature is not only a neutral (无感情色彩的) mixture of scenery, colours, plants, rocks, soil, water and air. It is a living force that feels joy and sadness, shares human pain and even tries to educate us human beings by showing us the beauty of life.Wor
