2．Goffin's cockatoos，a kind of small parrot native to Australasia，have been shown to have similar shape-recognition abilities to a human two-year-old.Though not known to use tools in the wild，the birds have proved skillful at tool use while kept in the cage.In a recent experiment，cockatoos were presented with a box with a nut inside it.The clear front of the box had a "keyhole" in a geometric shape，and the birds were given five differently shaped "keys" to choose from.Inserting the correct "key" would let out the nut.
In humans，babies can put a round shape in a round hole from around one year of age，but it will be another year before they are able to do the same with less symmetrical（對稱的）shapes.This ability to recognize that a shape will need to be turned in a specific direction before it will fit is called an "allocentric frame of reference".In the experiment，Goffin's cockatoos were able to select the right tool for the job，in most cases，by visual recognition alone.Where trial-and-error was used，the cockatoos did better than monkeys in similar tests.This indicates that Goffin's cockatoos do indeed possess an allocentric frame of reference when moving objects in space，similar to two-year-old babies.
The next step，according to the researchers，is to try and work out whether the cockatoos rely entirely on visual clues （線索），or also use a sense of touch in making their shape selections.
（1）How did the cockatoos get the nut from the box in the experiment？
A．By following instructions.
B．By using a tool.
C．By turning the box around.
D．By removing the lid.
（2）Which task can human one-year-olds most likely complete according to the text？
A．Using a key to unlock a door.
B．Telling parrots from other birds.
C．Putting a ball into a round hole.
D．Grouping toys of different shapes.
（3）What does the follow-up test aim to find out about the cockatoos？
A．How far they are able to see.
B．How they track moving objects.
C．Whether they are smarter than monkeys.
D．Whether they use a sense of touch in the test.
（4）Which can be a suitable title for the text？
A．Cockatoos：Quick Error Checkers.
B．Cockatoos：Independent Learners.
C．Cockatoos：Clever Signal-Readers.
D．Cockatoos：Skillful Shape-Sorters.組卷：230引用：6難度：0.5 -
3．Chinese companies are ramping up（提高）production capacity in Europe，as local customers' demand for Chinese heating products ranging from electric carpets and heat pumps（熱泵）to heaters and hot-water bags has boomed.Europe faces an enormous gap in fuel supplies that makes the winter intolerably cold for many households.
European firms have been actively sourcing warming equipment from Chinese sellers in recent months to help get through the winter，as the region faces tight energy supplies after relations with Russia soured.Russia used to be Europe's biggest supplier of natural gas.
Data provided by Chinese Customs showed that in July，the EU imported about 1.29 million electric carpets from China，up nearly 150 percent from June.
The energy crisis in Europe is boosting the heat pump market，Cheng Lin，general manager of MBT overseas business with Midea Group，said in an online video conference，along with Europe's efforts to realize carbon neutrality.
Luo Lanxian，manager of a hot-water bag shop in Yiwu，told the Global Times on Thursday that orders from Europe were up about 20-30 percent this year. "European customers used to be conservative in placing orders，but this year they're bolder（大膽的） ，" she said.
Experts said that the rising popularity of Chinese "heating gadgets（小器具）" is another example of Chinese private economy helping overseas households get through the energy supply crunch（短缺）.That is to say，without China，it's hard for Europe to find other sources to meet the mounting market demand，as factories elsewhere can't adjust supply chains as fast as China.
（1）What does the underlined word "sourcing"mean in Paragraph 2？
A．Originating.
B．Obtaining.
C．Providing.
D．Selling.
（2）Which word can best describe European customers in the past？
A．Fearless.
B．Courageous.
C．Traditional.
D．Adventurous.
（3）What can we infer from the passage？
A．Chinese private economy helped foreigners overcome the shortage of energy supply before.
B．Europeans can only find the fastest adjustment of supply chains in China.
C．Russia has been Europe's biggest supplier of natural gas.
D．The energy crisis in Europe makes little difference to the heat pump market.
（4）What does the passage mainly tell us？
A．The business of the Chinese.
B．Europeans' great demand for heating gadgets.
C．The great popularity of Chinese heating products in Europe.
D．The boom of the resource need in Europe.組卷：4引用：2難度：0.5

Then Jeff noticed steam shooting out of the pot and the lid starting to shake.The next minute，the porridge boiled over and put out the fire.Jenna panicked.Thankfully，Jeff stayed calm and turned off the gas quickly.But the stove was a mess now.Jenna told Jeff to clean it up so they could continue to cook the rest of the porridge.But Jeff's hand touched the hot burner and he gave a cry of pain.Jenna made him put his hand in cold water.Then she caught the smell of burning.Oh dear!The piece of bread in the pan had turned black as well.
