23、eatures in the animal kingdom, a shark is the one many people are likely to avoid. But of the 400 or so shark species swimming in the oceans, just three or four attack humans. And now a study suggests that, in fact, sharks have complex personalities, and many of them are surprisingly sociable. The r

24、esearch appears to prove that sociability between sharks varies enormously, and is not determined by the species or where they happen to live. The study analyzed 10 groups of 10 small spotted catsharks, watching their interaction in three environments. It showed that some sharks regardless of enviro

25、nment enjoy each others company, gathering in groups and sometimes lying on top of each other to rest. But other sharks were loners, staying away from any group. The study shows animals display not just character traits, but individual personalities, and possibly even emotion, too. Prof William Hugh

26、es, an animal behavior expert, says: “Personality is just a term used. Were not talking about animals having human personality traits. What we mean by animal personality is their individual behavioral traits remain the same over time and across contexts.” The professor took human behavior as an exam

27、ple. “Imagine if we took 10 work colleagues and placed them in a bar, and observed which individuals sat with which other individuals for the evening. Then you did the same thing in a nightclub and in the work environment.” Some small spotted catsharks are found fond of hanging out with their friend

28、s. Others just want some peace and quiet away from the dance floor. A similar experiment observed lemon sharks and found that while some were curiosity seekers, others were less keen to explore. “They are not machines, they have personalities,” the researcher said. Scientists are increasingly confid

29、ent that animals, from insects to primates, display complex personalities. They found that freshwater crayfish（螯虾） display anxiety, hiding in dark corners of a tank, rather than brightly lit parts. Brown trouts (鳟鱼) also display shyness.( ) 40. What is the discovery of the study of sharks?A. A small

30、 percentage of sharks attack people. B. People think sharks are very dangerous. C. Sharks have different personalities. D. Sharks like to lie on top of each other to rest. ( ) 41.

31、pecies. B. Animal personality means they always behave in the same way. C. Animal personality refers to their sociability with other individuals. D. Animal personality shows their interests and emotions. ( ) 42. What can we infer from the passage?A. People have a wrong impression of sharks. B. Shark

33、k corners of a tank. D. The hang out in the bright area of the water. C Children today have so many more choices than their parents did in the past. These choices can sometimes beoverwhelming. With so many choices, how do you choose which book to read next? Of course, when youre looking for a new bo

34、ok, the first thing youre likely to see is the books cover. A books cover is like anadvertisement. Its supposed to intrigueyou, give you an idea of what the book is about andenticeyou to give the book a closer look. For example, Harry Potter and the Sorcerers Stone is one of those popular childrens

35、books.However, you may hear people warning “Never judge a book by its cover,” or “You cant judge a book by its cover.” These sayings have become idioms that mean you shouldnt judge the value or worth of something based solely upon outward appearances.In life in general, this is good advice. Appearan

36、ces can be deceiving. Before you can make a judgment about somethings value or worth, you need to take the time to investigate it fully. Take a deeper, closer look. You might be surprised by what you find. True worth and value arent always obvious when we only look at the surface. If you read a lot,

37、 youve most likely come across books that just didnt thrill you as you thought they would based upon their colorful, exciting covers. Likewise, youve probably picked up books with boring covers that turned out to be wonderful.So the old saying does hold good many times: you cant necessarily judge a

38、book by its cover. If you see a book whose cover intrigues you, give it a closer look. Maybe itll turn out to be a new favorite.( ) 44. The underlined word “intrigue” in Paragraph 2 probably means _.A. puzzle B. interest C. surprise D. satisfy( ) 45. The author mentions Harry Potter and the Sorcerer

Teachers C. Children D. Doctors D Having experienced a shocking electrical accident, which caused him to become bo
