10．Most kids can walk into a library or bookstore and find hundreds of books to read.But it's not that simple for kids who are blind.They read in a different way.Jenny Lee and other braille （盲文） transcribers take the printed words of a book and change them into a code of raised dots.Blind people can read these dots with their fingers.To know what braille feels like，take a ballpoint pen and press hard onto a piece of paper.Now turn the paper over and touch the raised dot made by the pen point.
When Lee first saw the dots of the braille alphabet，she wondered if she'd ever be able to read and write them easily.She took a class and practised hard for about six months before she passed the final exam：she had to convert 35 pages of a book into braille.Today，Lee works for a publisher.One of her jobs is to change children's books into braille.
To do this，Lee first types the story into a computer and then uses a computer program to translate it into the braille code.Next，she looks over the translation several times to make sure it's mistake-free.After that，a copy of the braille story is printed with a special printer.Then Lee and a proofreader work together to find and correct any mistakes.When a book is ready，many copies of it are printed.Afterwards，some are sold through websites and others are sent to libraries.
Sometimes，going over a story again and again gets tiring.That's when Lee takes a break.Several of Jenny Lee's co-workers，who are blind，use guide dogs.When the animals aren't working，Lee likes spending a few minutes with them.To her，playing with dogs "is always a pick-me-up in the middle of the day".
"I love this mission，" Lee says. "Through my brain power and my fingers，I am putting the dots into some kid's hands."
（1）How does the writer explain what braille feels like？
A．By explaining what braille words look like.
B．By describing how blind people read books.
C．By asking readers to experience it themselves.
D．By giving examples of different braille words.
（2）What was Lee's first reaction to braille？
A．She was excited to get a new skill.
B．She was amazed at the clever idea.
C．She realized she could teach it herself.
D．She believed it would be difficult to learn.
（3）What does the underlined word "pick-me-up" in paragraph 4 most probably mean？
A．A discussion to release work stress.
B．Something to improve one's appetite.
C．Something to help restore one's spirit.
D．A free ride accompanied with a guide dog.
（4）What does Lee think of her job？
A．Profitable and hopeful.
B．Tiring but meaningful.
C．Relaxing and helpful.
D．Boring but challenging.组卷：2引用：5难度：0.5 -
11．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."
（1）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.
（2）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.
（3）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.
（4）In which section of a newspaper may this text appear？
A．Entertainment.
B．Health.
C．Education.
D．Science.组卷：2引用：3难度：0.5
