[单项选择] Passage Two
Can animals be made to work for us
Some scientists think that one day animals may be trained to do a number of
simple jobs that are now done by human beings.
They point out
that at a circus, for example, we may see elephants, monkeys, dogs and other
animals doing quite skillful things. Perhaps you have seen them on the
television or in a film. If you watch closely, you may notice that the trainer
always gives the animal a piece of candy or a piece of fruit as a reward. The
scientists say that many different animals may be trained to do a number of
simple jobs if they know they will get a reward for doing them.
Of course, as we know, dogs can be used to guard a house, and soldiers in
both old and modem times have used geese to give warning by making a lot of
noise when a stranger or an enemy comes near. But it may be possible

[单项选择] Passage 1
All animals must rest, but do they
really sleep as we know it The answer to this question seems obvious. If an
animal regularly stops its activities and stays quiet and unmoving——if it looks
as though it is sleeping——then why not simply assume that it is in fact
sleeping But how can observers be sure that an animal is sleeping
They can watch the animal and notice whether its eyes are open or closed,
whether it is active or lying quietly, and whether it responds to light or
sound. These factors are important clues, but they often are not enough. Horses
and cows, for example, rarely close their eyes, and fish and snakes cannot close
them. Yet this does not necessarily mean that they do not sleep. Have you ever
seen a cat dozing with an eye partly open Even humans have occasionally been
observed to sleep with one or both eyes par
A. spend some time resting
B. close their eyes when sleeping
C. are good sleepers
D. are poor sleepers
