The mind of an elephant should not be underestimated.They are intelligent animals born with both excellent memory and artistic talent.Elephants eat about 495 pounds of vegetarian food a day.They spend about 16 hours a day eating,but must walk about 4 miles a day in search of food.The average elephant lives about 70 years,and its sharp memory allows it to remember places where it has found food as long as 30 years earlier,even as a baby.

In an elephant’s travels,it comes across other elephants also looking for food.Some elephants are friendly,and some are not so nice.Elephants remember every elephant they have ever met.They can even recognize an elephant they perhaps haven’t seen for 30 years.They immediately remember whether this elephant is an enemy or a friend.

When elephants are not searching for food,they sometimes produce art in the sand with their trunks.They seem to enjoy just relaxing and painting in the sand.One day,an elephant zoo-keeper noticed this and gave an elephant a paint brush filled with red paint to see if the elephant would paint on a canvas (画布).Sure enough,it did,and since then elephants in most zoos have been given paint brushes,paints,and canvases.The resulting abstract art has been sold for high prices around the world.The money goes to support feeding the elephants in the zoos.Most felt that the elephants were only capable of painting abstracts.However,they have been trained to paint trees,flowers,and other things in nature.This has enabled us to understand “elephant genius” even more.

talent.”可知,千万不要低估大象的智力。 5.What can we learn about elephants’ memory? A.It can reach as far back as 30 years. B.It is at its best in the first 30 years. C.It differs greatly among elephants. D.It remains excellent for 70 years. 答案A 解析细节理解题。根据第一段中的“...its sharp memory allows it to remember places where it has found food as long as 30 years earlier”和第二段中的“They can even recognize an elephant they perhaps haven’t seen for 30 years.”可知,大象的记忆力可以追溯到30年前。

6.Why did the zoo-keeper give the elephant a brush? A.To attract visitors to it. B.To train it to paint pictures. C.To prove it was a born artist. D.To find out whether it could draw. 答案D 解析细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“an elephant zoo-keeper noticed this and gave an elephant a paint brush filled with red paint to see if the elephant would paint on a canvas”可知,动物园的管理员给大象画笔是想看看它会不会画画。

7.Which can best describe elephants according to the text? A.Highly smart. C.Really brave. 答案A 解析推理判断题。根据文中的intelligent animals以及具体介绍大象的记忆力如何超强和艺术才能如何了得可知,大象是非常聪明的动物。

The Chinese New Year celebration starts with the first new moon of the year and finishes with the full moon 15 days later.In China and other Asian countries this first full moon signals the night of the Shangyuan,or Lantern Festival—the biggest and most important festival in China.

The Lantern Festival is also called Yuanxiao,from the Chinese words Yuan—meaning the first lunar month—and xiao,which means night.The exact beginnings of the festival are lost,going back as they do more than 2,000 years.

settled,wrongs are forgiven and homes and businesses are thoroughly cleaned to begin the year again.It is a time to be spent with family and friends.Some people exchange gifts the night of the Lantern Festival and some wear only new clothing that day.

In ancient days,the day of the Lantern Festival was the one day an unmarried Chinese woman could go out in public,of course—where she could be seen by unmarried men.The celebration of family became a celebration of lovers

B.Unusually quiet. D.Extremely friendly.
