PAGE  PAGE 7 Module 2同步练习题（4—阅读）（外研版选修8） .阅读理解 A team of scientists proved that seals (海豹) had a very good sense of hearing. These men trained blind seals to expect food when they heard sounds. The seals always began snapping (猛咬) when a strong signal was sounded. It was proved that even a soft signal, a considerable distance (相当远的距离) away, could make these sea animals respond (起反应). That should make the fishermen who make much noise while working, or talk loudly, start thinking. The same team of scientists also trained seals to recognize different sounds. One bell-tone meant food, two bell-tones meant no food. In the beginning, the seals made mistakes when the two bell-tones were sounded. They were given a light tap after each mistake. The seals were good learners. They easily learned to tell the difference between the sounds. 1．To those seals a strong signal meant ________. A．snapping B．nothing C．food D．a light tap 答案：C　每当信号强烈时，海豹就开始猛咬，这就意味着它们有食物吃了。 2．The article doesnt say directly but suggests that fishermen usually think ________. A．seals have no sense of hearing B．seals have good sense of hearing C．seals can only recognize bell sounds D．seals can not hear soft and long distant sounds 答案：D　文中提到海豹对微弱的声音，甚至是对远离的微弱声音都能敏捷地作出反应。而渔夫们工作时却大声喧哗，这是因为他们孤陋寡闻而对海豹产生的错误认识。 3．Light taps were given to those who ________. A．expected food B．came for food C．made mistakes D．recognized the sounds 答案：C　在驯化海豹的过程中，科学家们轻轻拍打一下那些犯错误的海豹，帮助它们识别声音。 4．Which title will be the best to suit the article? A．Clever Seals B．Smart Learners C．An Underwater School D．An Unknown School答案：C　A、B两项仅仅涉及海豹，而没有体现出科学家驯化海豹的目的。D项没能反映出文章的主题。An Underwater School这一标题新颖，主题鲜明、突出。故选C。 ****************************************************2013 .阅读理解 A Watercolor is the oldest paints known.
