Part III Reading Comprehension (25 points)
Section A
Directions: In this ction, there are four passages followed by qucsiions or unfinished stalements, each with four suggested answers A, B, C and D. Choo the best answer and mark your answer on the Answer Sheet.
Passage One
Under the right circumstances, choosing to spend time alone can be a huge psychological blessing. In the 1980s, the Italian journalist and author Tiziano Terzani. after many years of reporting across Asia, holed himlf up in a cabin in Ibaraki Prefecture, Japan. "For a month I had no one to talk to except my dog Baoli," he wrote in his book A Fortune Teller Told Me. Terzani pasd the time with books, obrving nature, "listening to ihe winds in the trees, watching butterflies, enjoying silence" For
the first time in a long while he felt free from the unending anxieties of daily life:"At last I had time to have time."
Terzani’s embrace of isolation was relatively unusual: Humans have long considered solitude an inconvenience, something to avoid, a punishment, a realm of loners. Science has often associated it with negative outcomes. Freud, who linked solitude with anxiety, noted that, "in children the first fears relating to situatious are tho of darkness and solitude." John Cacioppo, a modern social neuro-scientist who has extensively studied loneliness—what he calls “chronic perceived isolation”—contends that, beyond damaging our thinking powers, isolation can even harm our physical health. But increasingly scientists are approaching solitude as something that, when pursued by choice, can prove a therapy.
This is especially true in times of personal disorder, when the instinct is often for people to reach outside of themlves for support.“When people are experiencing crisis it's not always just about you: It's about how you are in society," explains Jack Fong, a sociologist at California State Polytechnic University who has studied solitude.
In other words, when people remove themlves from the social context of their lives, they are better able to e how they're shaped by that context. Thomas Merton, a monk and writer who spent years alone, held a similar notion. "We cannot e things in perspective until we cea to hug them to our breast,” he writ es in Thoughts

Passage Two
Science is finally beginning to embrace animals who were, for a long time, considered cond-class citizens.
As Annie Potts of Canterbury University has noted, chickens distinguish among one hundred chicken faces and recognize familiar individuals even after months of paration. When given problems to solve, they reason: hens trained to pick colored buttons sometimes choo to give up an immediate
(lesr) food reward for a slightly later (and better) one. Healthy hens may aid friends, and mourn when tho friends die.
Pigs respond meaningfully to human symbols. When a rearch team led by Candace Croney at Penn State University carried wooden blocks marked with X and O symbols around pigs, only the O carriers offered food to the animals. The pigs soon ignored the X carriers in favor of the 0's. Then the team switched from real-life objects to T-shirts printed with X or O symbols Still, the pigs ventured only toward the 0-shirtcd people: they had transferred thrir knowledge to a two-dimensional format, a not-inconsiderable feat of reasoning.
Fairly soon, I came to e that along with our clost living relatives, cetaceans （鲸目动物）too are masters of cultural learning，and elephants express profound joy and
mourning with their social companions. Long-term studies in the wild on the mammals helped to fuel a perspective shift in our society: the public no longer so easily accepts monkeys made to undergo painful procedures in laboratories, elephants forced to perfonn in circus, and dolphins kept in small tanks at theme parks.
Over time, though, as I began to broaden out even further and explore the inner lives of fish, chicken,
pigs, goats, ami cows, I started to wonder: Will the new science of "food animals" bring an ethical revolution in terms of who we eat? In other words, will the breadth of our ethics start to catch up with the breadth of our science? Animal activists are already there, of cour, committed to not eating the animals. But what about the rest of us? Can paying attention to the thinking and feeling of the animals lead us to make changes in who we eat?
26. According to Annie Potts, hens' choice of a later and better reward indicates their ability of _____ .
A. social interaction
B. facial recognition
