8、want to think too hard. Its name is made up of the Japanese characters for “number” and “single,” and players place the numbers 1 through 9 in rows, columns and blocks without repeating them.

These birds have inspired legends for centuries. But the more scientists know about their brain structure and behaviors, the
23、 more crows seem to resemble humans. John Marzluff, a professor from the University of Washington, has been studying crows for decades. Hes explored the exceptional size and function of crow brains, their long life and lifestyle. “Big brain, long life and sociality, those are really linked features,
24、” Marzluff says. “You put those together, and it should sound pretty familiar.”To top that off, just last fall other researchers determined that crows seem to exhibit a level of consciousness shown only in humans and very few of our mammal relatives. The breakthrough study published in Science showe
25、d that crows have an ability to draw on subjective experiences from the past in order to solve a task. This means the birds keep new information, or memories, in the front of their brains for extended periods, and use it in reasoning and dealing with new situations they meet. That is, for people and
26、 crows alike, the forebrain deals with higher tasks, including reasoned decision-making, problem-solving and executive function. Taken together, these findings help explain the problem-solving and tool use in crows. The New Caledonian crow, for example, has recently gained welcome for not only tool
27、use, but its ability to make compound tools out of various materials. These birds have been known to make hooks and sharp spears that they use to catch insects in hard-to-reach places. In research labs, theyve successfully bent wire to grab baskets with food inside. “They understand the concept of h
28、ooking and-pulling and spearing and what tools are needed to do that,” Marzluff says. These reasoning skills appear to be significantly more advanced than primitive tool usesuch as using rocks to break open shells and other foodthat researchers have observed in some other animals.12What does Marluff
29、 mean by saying “it should sound pretty familiar”?AHe knows how to study crows.BHe was very familiar with crows.CThe way crows live is related to humans.DCrows have features similar to those of humans.13What can we infer about crows according to the passage？AThey can draw pictures.BThey like to eat
30、insects.CThey use tools creatively.DThey existed for centuries.14What makes Marzluff think crows are more advanced than other animals?ACrows special size.BCrows better reasoning skills.CCrows longer life.DCrows way of raising babies.15Which of the following can be the best title for the text?ACrows,

32、 hard to take. _17_. Their civilization once thrived (繁荣) with its amazing architecture of pyramids and cities. One of the cities, Tikal, was built in what is now Guatemala. “It was quite a remarkable place, with temples towering above the top of the rainforest,” says Dunning. Although the region is
33、 a tropical rainforest, Tikal was built in a place that got little rain for half the year. Additionally, it had no year round lakes or riveralthough it did have an important spring. The Maya also did not have a system to reach groundwater. _18_. “As Tikal grew, people there would have had to cut dow
34、n parts of the surrounding rainforest to raise food._19_ to meet their needs for wood and other resources,” Dunning says. Dunning compares it to todays practice of chopping down much larger parts of the Amazon rainforest raise cattle for beef. He calls this deed “bad for the health of local environm
35、ent and the global environment, too.”The Maya would have used cut-and-burn techniques and let the forest grow back after a few years. Although the Maya changed the environment with their farming and other practices, they had much less impact on the climate than we do now. The Maya understood that th
