　　Fang Wei had planned to study in Britain for his master's

　　degree, but had to keep putting it off. These days, however, Fang is quite happy about the delay since the exchange rate of the British pound against the RMB has been descending.

　　“The change means I can save a large sum of money for my studies.”said Fang. “I pay a lot of attention to the pound­to­RMB exchange rate every day now.”Last Tuesday the rate broke the 10­yuan mark for the first time since 2005.

　　So what is an exchange rate?

　　This is the standard term for the comparison of two currencies and tells how much one currency is worth when measured by the other. For example, the pound­to­RMB exchange rate last Wednesday was 9.88, meaning that one pound was worth the same as 9.88 yuan.

　　But how could this affect our lives?

　　The exchange rate is important for anyone wanting to travel to or study in a foreign country.

　　A bigger RMB value is good news for Chinese tourists and students. That's because any given amount of RMB can be exchanged for a larger amount of foreign money than with a lower RMB value. It therefore buys more abroad.

　　For example, according to Chinese agencies that handle study abroad, the cost for university study in Britain used to be around 20,000 pounds a year. At the beginning of 2008, when the pound­to­RMB exchange rate stood at 14, Chinese students had to have 280,000 yuan for a year. But now that the rate has fallen to less than 10 yuan，200,000 yuan is enough for a year in Britain.

　　However, the stronger yuan may be bad news for Chinese exporters. A rising RMB means that Chinese products are becoming expensive and less attractive on foreign markets. 16. Why did Fang Wei have to put off his study in Britain?

　　A. Because he didn't have enough money.

　　B. Because the exchange rate of the pound­to­RMB was too

　　high.

　　C. Because he didn't get the letter from the university he

　　had applied for.

　　D. The passage didn't tell us. 答案与解析：D　从本文的第一段来看，作者只说了自己不得不推迟他去英国学习，而且推迟让他很高兴，因为英镑对人民币的汇率正在下降。作者并未提推迟的原因，故选D项。

　　17. What's the meaning of the underlined word“descending”

　　in Paragraph 1?

　　A. Turning down.

　　B. Putting off.

　　C. Falling down.

　　D. Going up. 答案与解析：C　联系上下文语境，可知descending意为下降、下落，而C项falling down也意为下降、下落，故选C项。 18. When the pound­to­RMB exchange rate was 12, Fang Wei

　　would have paid 240,000 yuan for a year's study, now the

　　rate is 9.6, how much can he save if he goes to study in

　　Britain?

　　A. 46,000 yuan.

　　B. 42,800 yuan.

　　C. 41,200 yuan.

　　D. 48,000 yuan. 答案与解析：D　240000－240000× ×9.6＝48000，故选D项。 19. When RMB has a higher value in the currency exchange

　　market, the following are right except that ________.

　　A. it shows we have a strong economic potential

　　B. it indicates we have a stable political environment

　　C. it will help our export business

　　D. it is beneficial for Chinese students and travelers to foreign countries 答案与解析：C　从最后一段话第一句可以判断出人民币汇率升高对出口不利，所以应选C项。 B

　　When it comes to intelligence, human beings are the top dogs of the animal kingdom. But in recent years, scientists have been documenting surprising intelligence and emotional depth in animals ranging from honeybees to elephants. Here are some amazing examples.

　　Artistic Monkey Business

　　Janet Schmid, director of the Little River Zoo in Norman, Oklahoma, learned a lot about the intelligence of capuchin monkeys. She and her husband adopted a young male, named Bailey. The capuchin particularly liked taking car rides, insisting that he insert the key and ride in the front passenger's seat.

　　Now Bailey has become a devoted painter. He uses brushes to create colorful, abstract paintings, and prefers not to be disturbed.

　　Prairie Dog Sound

　　Through a variety of birdlike sounds, prairie dogs warn each other of approaching creatures. They demonstrate a surprisingly complex communication system. In his 25 years of study, Slobodchikoff, a professor of biology, has recorded them pronouncing ten nouns including hawk, deer and coyote,__a number of adjectives to identify color, size and shape, and even some verbs to indicate speed.

　　In an

　　ongoing

　　study,

　　Slobodchikoff learns that their brain contains a very extensive vocabulary. He once used his best prairie dog sound to say coyote, and they just looked at him in anger as if he had said a bad word.

　　Ivy League Parrot

　　One African grey parrot Alex is said to have the cognitive abilities of a five­year­old child. Alex can identify 50 different objects, seven colors, five shapes, quantities up to six, and the concepts of bigger, smaller, same and different.

　　Also Alex is considered to make reasoned decisions. During an experiment, researchers gave Alex different­colored blocks in sets of two, three and six. When asked which color group had five blocks, Alex replied, “None.” And he answered the same in repeated tests. Obviously, he interpreted the concept of “none” as an absence of quantity all on his own. That's a lot like a high school student answering questions on a quiz show. 20. Which of the following is true?

　　A. Bailey is as clever as a child of five.

　　B. The prairie dog loves taking car rides.

　　C. The capuchin monkey is fond of painting.

　　D. Alex develops a communication system. 答案与解析：C　此题可用排除法。从文章第四部分介绍Ivy league parrot, 第一段可知parrot有5岁孩子的智商而不是Bailey排除A项；在第二部分Artistic Monkey Business第一段可知，Bailey喜欢坐车，排除B项；在第三部分Prairie Dog Sound第一段可知Prairie dogs有复杂的联系系统，排除D项。在第二部分第二段可知Bailey喜欢画画，故选C项。 21. The underlined word “coyote” in Paragraph 4 refers to ________.

　　A. a verb

　　B. an animal

　　C. a warning

　　D. an adjective 答案与解析：B　划线词是一个名词。Pronouncing ten nouns including...排除A、D两项。Warning是名词，警告；hawk鹰；deer鹿，因此推测第三个也是一种动物。 22. The African grey parrot Alex can ________.

　　A. answer questions on a quiz show

　　B. understand the figure “7”

　　C. identify five colors and seven shapes

　　D. apply the concept of “none” correctly 答案与解析：D　根据第四部分Ivy League Parrot第二段可知Alex完全依靠他自己理解none的概念，为数量的缺少。 23. What is the passage mainly about?

　　A. Animal communication.

　　B. Animal research.

　　C. Animal intelligence.

　　D. Animal information. 答案与解析：C　由全文第一段的when it comes to intelligence, 和下文可看出全文是关于动物智力的。 Ⅲ.短文改错 As new students at an university in Boston, many of us were unfamiliar with the campus but consequently late for class.
