17、ommon in members of the crow（烏鴉）family. A new study tested the birds outside this naturally occurring behaviour, which may have evolved（進(jìn)化）specifically because it gives crows a survival advantage. Some crow species are known to naturally use tools to recover food. So the researchers tested whether t

18、he birds could store and recover a tool so they could get it at their food after a gap of 17 hourssomething we wouldnt expect them to do naturally. But they were able to instantly select the tool out of a number of unnecessary items.In another experiment, the researchers taught crows to select a tok

19、en （禮品券）from a number of items so that they could then exchange for food. Again, the birds then showed that they could plan for the future using this new behaviour. This is different from all of the previous studies in future planning, which have focused on naturally occurring behaviour. For example

20、, we know that chimpanzees select, transport and save appropriate tools for future needs.These studies have shown that animals can plan for the futurebut they left an important question open for debate. Are animals only able to plan to use abilities that have evolved to give them a specific advantag

21、e, or can they flexibly and intelligently apply planning behaviour across various actions? Most critics would say the former, as the animals were tested in naturally occurring behaviours.But the new research provides the first evidence that animal species can plan for the future using behaviour that

22、 doesnt typically occur in nature. This supports the view that at least some recognitive abilities in animals dont evolve just in response to specific problems. Instead, it suggests that animals can apply these behaviours flexibly across problems in a similar way to humans. We need to investigate ho

23、w flexible behaviour evolved. Then we might be able to see how crows ability to plan for the future fits in with their broader cognitive powers.1、Whats the new finding about some crows according to Paragraph 1?AThey can store food. BThey can use tools to recover food.CThey can store and recover tool

24、s. DThey can select and store food.2、What are crows trained by scientists to do when given a token?AReject it casually. BExchange it for food.CSave it as their food. DBuild a nest with it.3、What do scientists think of the studies that animals can plan for the future?AThey are controversial. BThey ar

DThey are convincing.4、What can be inferred about recognitive abilities in animals?AThey develop only with age.BIt is unclear how theyve evolved now.CNo animals but crows benefit from them.DPlanning for the future helps their evolution.23（8分） Dutch designer D

The experience was designed to make the public know more about how much space junk there are.To find a solution, the designer has been thinking with experts. One of the projects being considered is Shooting Stars，which attempts to reintroduce the trash to

Roosegaarde envisages that if successful .burning space trash could someday replace fireworks at large public events!In September 2018。the RemoveDEBRIS satellite successfully sent a net to

31、catch a target while orbiting at an altitude of about 300 kilometers(190 miles). Sometime this year. the capsule will set free a harpoon that has been designed to remove space trash.
