9、ansformed into important platforms to display local history, culture and folk traditions. Not just bookstores, they are foundations helping to relieve spiritual poverty (贫困) and centers for gathering and displaying rural culture.To better fit in the lives of local residents, earth village branch has
10、 its own characteristics, like the branch in Shaxi, southwest Chinas Yunnan province. Many of nearly 20,000 books in the store are associated with the history, geography and folk customs of Yunnan and the Bai people.“Turning in profits is not our only aim. Our bookstore has become a public gathering
11、 space for villagers. Not only young people, but many elderly residents come here. They do not buy books, but pass the time by reading or chatting with each other in our store.” Liu Xia, the bookstore owner explained.She added that this is a cultural atmosphere that bookstores offer the area. Some r
12、esidents have grown accustomed to turning to the books of the store to find answers to the troubles they face, such as operating a business or controlling tourists from urban areas. The biggest benefit of opening bookstores in villages is that it helps provide a healthy environment for childrens gro
13、wth. “My kids often come to the store. They love reading books here. They gain knowledge and curiosity about outside world.” one villager said.The arrival of the bookstore menus a lot to the village when young residents have been leaving for urban areas in recent years. During the 2020 May Day and N
14、ational Day holidays, the daily number of tourists traveling to the village reached 5,000, a record high. Visitors were attracted by the bookstore.

18、 - unless they were female. At the time, women generally did not have careers, for they were expected, instead, to focus fully on marrying and raising families. Sophia Behrs was one such young woman. When Sophia married Leo Tolstoy(列夫托尔斯泰)，he was already a well-known author. Both the couple were lit
19、erary in their interests：Sophia had been a gifted student and, even at a very young age, was a keen and sensitive reader.Sophias marriage to Tolstoy gave her the opportunity to put her abilities as a good reader to use, often advising him on his work throughout the writing process. She served as her
20、 husbands copyist, writing out multiple copies of his novels by hand. She made suggestions for and edits to his work, many of which were incorporated into the final product. In addition, she served as his manager, publicist, and agent, keeping track of the financial and legal sides of her husbands w
21、riting career. If Sophia were alive today, she might have found her calling at a publishing house or literary-agency.She wrote her own Russian-language grammar textbook and translated texts from German and English. She also wrote fiction, including a revision of Leos novella The Krcutzer Sonata. In
22、that story, a man recounts the dramatic breakdown of his marriage;Sophia retold the narrative from his wifes point of view. The famous writer was impressed by his wifes literary talents. “What force of truth and simplicity!” he wrote in his diary upon reading one of her stories.However, Sophia never
23、 sought publication for her own work. Writing was not a fantasy that she look seriously;rather, she regarded it with “a certain contempt (轻蔑) and irony.” Limited by personal modesty, her domestic duties, and the expectations for women in her lifetime, Sophia never even considered seeking fame of her
24、 own. Yet Tolstoy would never have been able to produce the work he did without Sophias vital contributions.8What advantages did Sophias marriage bring to her?AA strong interest in literature.BA superior sense of gracefulness.CA profession at a literary agency.DA chance to put her literary gift to u

27、hed last year in Science, a team led by Andreas Nieder of the University of Tubingen in Germany showed that crows already known to be among the most intelligent of animals are even more impressive than we knew. In fact, the evidence suggests that they are self-aware and, in an important sense, consc
28、ious (有意识的).Crows had been observed previously to use tools to solve certain problems. Nieders experiment showed that the birds were actively evaluating how to solve a particular problem; in effect, they were thinking it over. This ability to consciously assess a problem was associated with the cere
29、bral cortex (大脑皮层) in the brains of humans, which birds dont have.Other studies support the idea that the bird brain can, in principle, support the development of higher intelligence. It had been dismissed in the past due to the small size of birds brains. But recent research has shown that in birds
30、, the neurons (神经元) are smaller and more lightly-packed, which makes sense to reduce weight and makes it easier lo fly. The total number of brain cell in crows (about 1.5 billion) is about the same as that in some monkey species. But because they are more tightly-packed, the communication between th
31、e neurons seems to be better, and the overall intelligence of crows may be closer to that of gorillas (猩猩).This research has important consequences for our understanding of the evolution of higher intelligence. First, a cerebral cortex is not needed, and there are other means to achieve the same out
32、come. Second, either the evolution of consciousness is very ancient tracing back to the last common ancestor of mammals and birds about 320 million years ago, or, equally interesting, consciousness arose at least twice later on, independently in mammals and birds. Both options raise the possibility
33、that higher intelligence on the planet may not necessarily be mammal or human-like, but could very well be birdlike.12What did Andreas Nieders team find out about crows?AThey are more intelligent than other animals.BThey have left people a very good impression.CThey are much cleverer than previously
34、 thought.DThey can use tools to solve certain problems.13What does the underlined “It” in paragraph 3 refer to?AThe idea.BThe bird brain.CThe development.DHigher intelligence.14Why do crows have high-level intelligence?AThey have more tightly-packed brains.BThey have a small number of brain cells.CT
35、heir brain neurons could communicate well.DTheir brain cells are the same with the monkeys.15What can be inferred from the last paragraph?ACerebral cortexes are necessary for the evolution of higher intelligence.BBoth mammals and birds got their intelligence from common ancestors.CHigher intelligenc
36、e has already developed separately in different species.DHigher intelligence on the planet might be different from what we imagine.二、七选五Building and supporting your learn has never been more important.
