21、th of the Hudson River.Over 300 years its population grew gradually from 800 people to 8 million.But not all cities develop slowly over a long period of time.Boom towns grow from nothing almost overnight.In 1896,Dawson,Canada,was unmapped wildeness （荒地）.But gold was discovered there in 1897,and two
22、years later,it was one of the largest cities in the West,with a population of 30,000. Dawson did not have any of the natural conveniences of cities like London or Paris.People went there for gold.They travelled over snow-covered mountains and sailed hundreds of miles up icy rivers.The path to Dawson
23、 was covered with thirty feet of wet snow that could fall without warming.An avalanche （雪崩）once closed the path,killing 63 people.For many who made it to Dawson,however,the rewards were worth the difficult trip.Of the first 20,000 people who dug for gold,4,000 got rich.About 100 of these stayed rich

C Cats love mirrors-they often either look at them curiously or try to touch the other catwith their fluffy paws (爪子)*But do they actually recognize themselves in the mirror?And how can we learn the an
29、swer when we have no way of knowing what animals are thinking.Back in 1970,Gordon Gallup,a scientist from the State University of New York,developed a test called the mirror self-awareness test”，according to Science Daily.His team of researchers painted a red dot (圈点)the animals forehead （前额）*which
30、the animal could only see by looking into the mirror-and watched its reaction to the dot. In the test,some cats ignored their reflections （镜像） *and just went away.Some attempted to look behind the mirror.Some even acted aggressively (侵略地)toward the mirror.All of these behaviors show that cats think
31、of their reflections as separate cats instead of as themselves. However,when chimpanzees saw the dots on their foreheads in the mirror,they first attempted to make direct contact with the reflections,then looked behind the mirror and finally touched their own fore-heads.This means the chimps realize
32、 that the dots are on their own bodies.That suggests self-awareness. Its just like when you look into the mirror and see something on your face-you touch your own face to brush it off instead of reaching for the image in the mirror. Very few animals pass this test and cats certainly dont.Besides chi
33、mpanzees,other animals that seem to have a sense of self include gorillas,dolphins and elephants.However,the mirror test has received plenty of criticism (批评),People say that although it proves that certain animals are self-aware,it cant be used to prove that other animals are not.They say that its
34、unfair to the animals that rely （依赖）more on senses other than sight,such as cats and dogs. Its also possible that by not touching the spot,the cat is simply showing that it doesnt care about cleaning it . 33.Whats the purpose of the test that was developed by Gordon Gallup in 1970? A.To find out why
35、 cats love playing with mirrors. B.To test whether animals have self-awareness. C.To test the intelligence of different animals. D.To find the differences between cats and other animals. 34.What happened to the animals in this test according to the passage? A.Cats didnt see the red dot in their refl
36、ections. B.Cats tried to clean the red dot in their reflections. C.Chimpanzees acted badly toward their reflections. D.Chimpanzees touched the dot on their forehead. 35.The underlined wordignorein Paragraph 2 most probably means _ . A.fail to notice B.refuse to review C.angry to know D.happy to see
37、36.People have different ideas about the mirror test because they think_ .
