(2019·全国Ⅲ，D)
Monkeys seem to have a way with numbers.
A team of researchers trained three Rhesus monkeys to associate 26 clearly different symbols consisting of numbers and selective letters with 0－25 drops of water or juice as a reward.The researchers then tested how the monkeys combined—or added—the symbols to get the reward.
Here’s how Harvard Medical School scientist Margaret Livingstone，who led the team，described the experiment：In their cages the monkeys were provided with touch screens.On one part of the screen，a symbol would appear，and on the other side two symbols inside a circle were shown.For example，the number 7 would flash on one side of the screen and the other end would have 9 and 8.If the monkeys touched the left side of the screen they would be rewarded with seven drops of water or juice; if they went for the circle，they would be rewarded with the sum of the numbers—17 in this example.
After running hundreds of tests，the researchers noted that the monkeys would go for the higher values more than half the time，indicating that they were performing a calculation，not just memorizing the value of each combination.
When the team examined the results of the experiment more closely，they noticed that the monkeys tended to underestimate(低估)a sum compared with a single symbol when the two were close in value—sometimes choosing，for example，a 13 over the sum of 8 and 6.The underestimation was systematic：When adding two numbers，the monkeys always paid attention to the larger of the two，and then added only a fraction(小部分) of the smaller number to it.
“This indicates that there is a certain way quantity is represented in their brains，” Dr Livingstone says.“But in this experiment what they’re doing is paying more attention to the big number than the little one.”
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。哈佛医学院科学家Margaret Livingstone带领他的团队通过反复实验得出结论：猴子能算算术，且它们对大数值的关注胜过小数值。 32．What did the researchers do to the monkeys before testing them? A．They fed them. B．They named them. C．They trained them. D．They measured them. 答案 C
解析 细节理解题。根据第二段首句“A team of researchers trained three Rhesus monkeys to associate 26 clearly different symbols consisting of numbers and selective letters with 0－25 drops of water or juice as a reward.”可知答案为C。 33．How did the monkeys get their reward in the experiment? A．By drawing a circle. B．By touching a screen. C．By watching videos. D．By mixing two drinks. 答案 B
解析 细节理解题。根据第三段末句“If the monkeys touched the left side of the screen they would be rewarded with seven drops of water or juice; if they went for the circle，they would be rewarded with the sum of the numbers—17 in this example.”
可知答案为B。
34．What did Livingstone’s team find about the monkeys? A．They could perform basic addition. B．They could understand simple words. C．They could memorize numbers easily. D．They could hold their attention for long. 答案 A
解析 细节理解题。根据第四段可知，研究人员在进行了数百次测试后发现，猴子多半时候会选择更高的值，这表明它们是在进行计算，而不仅仅是记忆每个组合的值。故选A。
35．In which section of a newspaper may this text appear? A．Entertainment. C．Education. 答案 D
解析 文章出处题。根据全文可知，本文讲述了科学家们通过科学实验得出猴子能够算算术的结论。由此可知，该文章可能出现在报纸的科学版上。故选D。
一、题型解读
几乎所有话题都可能涉及文章出处、文章类别或读者对象题。设问形式常有： (1)This passage would probably/most likely be found in . (2)The passage is probably taken from/out of . (3)Where does the text probably come from? (4)The passage is probably intended for . (5)What type of writing is this passage? 二、解题技巧——内容细节巧判断
B．Health. D．Science.
1．利用内容判断文章出处
(1)文章前面有日期、地点或通讯社名称→newspaper (2)推销介绍新产品→advertisement (3)文章中有click here等网络用语→website (4)旅游胜地方面的介绍→travel guide
(5)时尚、名人或娱乐方面的介绍→magazine/journal/entertainment section (6)科普知识→science report
(7)文化教育类文章→education section 2．利用内容判断文章类别
(1)旅游景点方面的介绍：travel guide
(2)新产品/新书/新影片/演出介绍：advertisement (3)活动介绍：notice/announcement
(4)文章前面有日期、地点或通讯社名称：news (5)科普知识/研究介绍：science report/study report 3．确定读者对象
先确定文章主题，再根据文章具体细节判断读者对象。
例如：【真题感悟】中第35题，通读整篇文章可知，该文介绍的是哈佛医学院的科学家Margaret Livingstone带领他的研究团队对猴子进行实验得出的研究结果。这属于“科学研究”范畴，故该文应出现在报纸的“科学”板块。故选D项。
