Number sense is not the ability to count. It is the ability to recognize a change in number.?Human beings are born with this ability. ______75______, experiments show that many animals are,?too. For example, many birds have good number sense. If a nest (巢) has four eggs and you?remove one, the bird will notice. However, if you remove two, the bird generally leaves. This?means that the bird ______76______the difference between two and three.

Another interesting experiment showed a bird's______77______number sense. A man was trying to?take a photo of a crow (烏鴉) that had a nest in a tower, but the crow always left when she saw?him coming. The bird did not______78______ until the man left the tower. The man had an idea. He took?another man with him to the tower. One man left and the other stayed, but they weren't successful?in fooling the bird. The crow stayed away until the second man left, too.?The experiment was______79_______with three men and then with four men. It was not until five men went into the tower and only four left that they finally managed to take a photo.

How good is a human's number sense? It's not very good.?For example, babies about fourteen?months old______80______?notice if something is taken away from a small group. But when the number goes beyond three or four, the children are often very confused.

It seems that number sense is something we have in common with many animals in this world,?and that our human ability is not much better than a crow's.

答案：B?B C B C B

解析：

1. B????根據(jù)上下文句意，由“Human beings are born with this ability...”到“experiments show that many animals are,?too...”可看出空格前后句意上表達(dá)出遞進(jìn)關(guān)系。故選Importantly。

2. B ????概括結(jié)論性，根據(jù)上文的事例，“If a nest?has four eggs and you?remove one, the bird will notice...”得出結(jié)論。帶入選項(xiàng)B“found out”句意為“鳥(niǎo)類能發(fā)現(xiàn)兩個(gè)和三個(gè)之間的區(qū)別”。符合句意。故選found out。

3. C ????根據(jù)下文實(shí)驗(yàn)事例，“It was not until five men went into the tower and only four left that they finally managed to take a photo...”推測(cè)結(jié)論為“驚人的數(shù)字意識(shí)”更符合句意。故選C“amazing”。

4. B ????根據(jù)上下文句意，由“The bird did not...until the man left the tower...”得出，return帶入更符合句意。故選B。

   （79）C ????根據(jù)上下文句意，“The experiment was…with three men and then with four men. It was not until five men went into the tower and only four left that they finally managed to take a photo.”可見(jiàn)該實(shí)驗(yàn)進(jìn)行反復(fù)檢測(cè)調(diào)整，故選“repeated”C。

   （80）B?????首尾呼應(yīng)。根據(jù)上文，“How good is a human's number sense? It's not very good...”得知人類對(duì)數(shù)字的意識(shí)不是很好，又由“...But when the number goes beyond three or four, the children are often very confused...”得出“rarely”“很少發(fā)現(xiàn)”更符合句意。故選B。
