[单项选择]"What a difference a word makes " The issue of semantics (语义学) has been an ongoing complaint against the media, which has been characterized by an increasing level of sensationalism and irresponsible reporting over the years, fostered by increasingly-fierce competition and struggle for wider distributions and readerships.
A focal point for the criticism is the coverage of high-profile criminal cases. With such headlines as "Mr. X Arrest for First-degree Murder" prominently displayed across the front page, it has been argued that such provocative language influences public opinion, causing premature assumptions of guilt before the matter can be properly and legally decided in a court of law. The power of the media to influence public opinion and, by extension, legal and political perceptions, has long been established and recognized, spurting outcries when inaccurate or overly-embellished stories result in unwarranted destruction of public image or intrusions into privacy of unwi
A. such information is necessary for proper decision-making by public leaders
B. the way that information is presented to the public can influence opinions and outcomes

[单项选择]Research on animal intelligence always makes me wonder just how smart humans are.

the fruit-fly experiments described in Carl Zimmer"s piece in the
Science Times
on Tuesday. Fruit flies who were taught to be smarter than the average fruit fly
42
to live shorter lives. This suggests that
43
bulbs burn longer, that there is an

in not being too terrifically bright.
Intelligence, it

, is a high-priced option. It takes more upkeep, burns more fuel and is slow

the starting line because it depends on learning—a
47
process—instead of instinct. Plenty of other species are able to learn, and one of the things they"ve apparently learned is when to

Is there an adaptive value to

intelligence That"s the question behind this new research. I like it. Instead of casting a wistful glance
50
at all the species we"ve left in the dust I.Q.-wise, it implicitly asks what the real
51
of our own intelligence might be. This is
52
the mind of every animal I"ve ever met.
Research on animal intelligence also makes me wonder what experiments animals would
53
on humans if they had the chance. Every cat with an owner,
54
, is running a small-scale study in operant conditioning. We believe that
55
animals ran the labs, they would test us to
56
the limits of our patience, our faithfulness, our memory for terrain. They would try to decide what intelligence in humans is really
57
, not merely how much of it there is.
58
, they would hope to study a
59
question: Are humans actually aware of the world they live in

the results are inconclusive.
