A
Researchers have found bees can do basic mathematics, in a discovery that deepens our understanding of the relationship between brain size and brain power. Recently, A study conducted by researchers from RMIT University in Melbourne, Australia showed that bees could perform arithmetic operations like addition and subtraction (减法).
Solving math problems requires a complex level of involving the mental management of numbers, long-term rules and short-term working memory. The finding that even the tiny brain of a honeybee can grasp basic mathematical operations has a possible effect on the future development of Artificial Intelligence, particularly in improving rapid learning.
RMIT’s Professor Adrian Dyer said numerical (数字的) operations like addition and subtraction are complex because they require two levels of processing. “You need to be able to hold the rules around adding and subtracting in your long-term memory, while mentally using skillfully a set of given numbers in your short-term memory,” Dyer said. “On top of this, our bees also used their short-term memories to solve arithmetic problems, as they learned to recognize plus or minus as abstract concepts.”
The findings suggest that advanced numerical cognition (认知) may be found much more widely in nature among non-human animals than previously suspected.
“If math doesn’t require a massive brain, there might also be new ways for us to include interactions of both long-term rules and working memory in designs to improve rapid AI learning of new problems,” said Dyer.
Many species can understand the difference between quantities and use this to search for food, make decisions and solve problems. But numerical cognition, such as exact number and arithmetic operations, requires a more complex level of processing.
Previous studies have shown some primates (灵长目动物), birds, babies and even spiders can add and/or subtract. The new research, published in Science Advances, adds bees to that list.
1、What have the researchers from RMIT University discovered?
A．The relationship between brain size and brain power.
B．Long-term rules and short term working memory.
C．Bees can perform complex arithmetic operations.
D．Bees can do basic mathematics.
2、According to Adrian Dyer, bees’ numerical cognition ________.
A．requires addition and subtraction two complex processing
B．has a possible effect on the future development of AI
C．only involves their short-term working memory
D．calls for a lot of maths knowledge
3、What does the finding of the new research suggest?
A．Bees can recogize the exact number.
B．Arithmetic operations exist in human and bees.
C．Numerical cognition has been found in many more species.
D．Some primates, birds and even spiders can add and substract.
4、What can be the best title for the text?
A．A Discovery About the Tiny Brain of Bees
B．New Findings About Bees Having Numerical Cogintion
C．Numerical Cognition Requires a Complex Level of Processing
D．The Relationship Between Brain Size and Brain Power

B
My husband Dave and I unloaded our car after a fun-filled day trip to Wellington. As soon as I walked in the front door, I noticed a flashing light on our answering machine. I pressed the button. “Hi, Dave and Sharon. You don’t know me. My name is Janet. I have your camera.”
What? I rummaged(仔细搜寻) through my bag—sure enough, my camera was nowhere to be found. How did this stranger have it? How did she know it was mine?
The photos on this camera were priceless. Almost all from our recent vacation to Wyoming to visit our youngest son and his wife were on it. Our oldest son joined us and it was the first time we’d all been together in over a year. I’d cleared the memory card beforehand—just some old photos that I’d already downloaded—so I would have plenty of room to capture every precious moment.
Dave and I had one day after our trip to Wyoming before we had to return to work, so we mapped out a bike ride in Wellington. Upon our arrival, I took a few photos while Dave took our bikes out of our car. Now I realized that was the last time I’d seen my camera.
I hadn’t downloaded our Wyoming pictures. They could have been lost forever. There was no name or address on the camera. Who was this Janet? Some detective?
I called her back. “How did you find it?” I asked. “How did you find me?”
“I recognized your church in a few photos,” she said. “Another photo had a young man wearing a name badge(姓名牌). I phoned the church secretary to connect the dots.” Janet described old photos I thought I’d deleted. But how could she have recognized our church?
“Where are you?” I asked. “Where can I meet you to get the camera?”
I didn’t have to travel far. Janet lived just fifteen minutes away—she attended our sister church the next town over.
1、Hearing the message on the answering machine, the author was ________
A．very excited
B．deeply grateful
C．pretty annoyed
D．greatly surprised
2、What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?
A．The advantages of the camera.
B．Why the photos were important.
C．The author’s love for photographing.
D．How much the author missed her sons.
3、It turned out that Janet ________.
A．was the church secretary
B．also attended the author’s church
C．knew the young man in the photo
D．was familiar with the author’s church
4、What does the underlined part “connect the dots” in Paragraph 7 mean?
A．To form a good relationship.
B．To feel a sense of agreement.
C．To make connections in one’s mind.
D．To have the dots on a paper connected.
