2013-2014学年高二英语同步练习：Unit 23《Conflict》单元检测（北师大版选修8） 单元检测(二) Ⅰ.语言知识及应用(共两节，满分45分) 第一节　完形填空(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分) 阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从1～15各题所给的A、B、C和D项中，选出最佳选项。 Number sense is not the ability to count.It is the ability to recognize a __1__ in number.Human beings are born with this ability. __2__，experiments show that many animals are，too.For example，many birds have good number sense.If a nest has four eggs and you remove one，the bird will not __3__.However，if you remove two，the bird __4__ leaves.This means that the bird knows the __5__ between two and three. Another interesting experiment showed a bird’s __6__ number sense.A man was trying to take a photo of a crow(乌鸦)that had a nest in a tower，but the crow always left when she saw him coming.The bird did not __7__ until the man left the tower.The man had an __8__.He took another man with him to the tower.One man left and the other stayed，but they did not __9__ the bird.The crow stayed away until the second man left，too.The experiment was __10__ with three men and then with four men.But the crow did not return to the nest until all the men were __11__.It was not until five men went into the tower and only four left that they were __12__ able to fool the crow. How good is a human’s number sense? It’s not very good.For example，babies about fourteen months old almost always notice if something is taken away from a __13__ group.But when the number goes beyond three or four，the children are __14__ fooled. It seems that number sense is something we have in common with many animals in this world，and that our human __15__ is not much better than a crow’s.(2013·广东) 1．A.rise B．pattern C．change D．trend 2．A.Importantly B．Surprisingly C．Disappointedly D．Fortunately 3．A.survive B．care C．hatch D．notice 4．A.generally B．sincerely C．casually D．deliberately 5．A.distance B．range C．difference D．interval 6．A.amazing B．annoying C．satisfying D．disturbing 7．A.relax B．recover C．react
