Research on animal intelligence always makes me wonder just how smart humans are. 【C1】______the fruit-fly experiments described by Carl Zimmer’ s piece in the Science Times. Fruit flies who were taught to be smarter than the average fruit fly【C2】______to live shorter lives. This suggests that【C3】______bulbs burn longer, that there is an【C4】______in not being too bright.
Intelligence, it【C5】______, is a high-priced option. It takes more upkeep, burns more fuel and is slow【C6】______the starting line because it depends on learning—a(n) 【C7】______process—instead of instinct. Plenty of other species are able to learn, and one of the things they’ve apparently learned is when to【C8】______.
Is there an adaptive value to【C9】______intelligence? That’ s the question behind this new research. Instead of casting a wistful glance【C10】______at all the species we’ve left in the dust I.Q.-wise, it implicitly asks what the real【C11】______of our own intelligence might be. This is【C12】______the mind of every animal we’ ve ever met.
Research on animal intelligence also makes us wonder what experiments animals would【C13】______on humans if they had the chance. Every cat with an owner,【C14】______, is running a small-scale study in operant conditioning. We believe that【C15】______animals ran the labs, they would test us to【C16】______the limits of our patience, our faithfulness, our memory for locations. They would try to decide what intelligence in humans is really【C17】______, not merely how much of it there is. 【C18】______, they would hope to study a(n)【C19】______question: Are humans actually aware of the world they live in?【C20】______the results are inconclusive.
【C4】
选项
A、tendency
B、advantage
C、inclination
D、priority
答案
B
解析
考查上下文理解与名词辨析。上文已经告诉我们聪明的果蝇往往寿命较短,越不亮的灯泡用的时间越长,所以这里的含义为:“不亮的灯泡和不聪明的人是有优势的”,故选B.advantage“优势”,an advantage in…“在…方面具有优势”。这里的bright是双关语,既可表示“灯泡不那么亮”,也可表示“人不那么聪明”。tendency“趋势,倾向”,常用作a tendency for…或a tendency to do…“有(做)…的倾向”。inclination“倾向,意愿,倾斜度”,常用作an inclination for…或an inclination to do…“有意向(做)…”。priority“优先权”,后常接over。
