11、rs of the crow（烏鴉）family. A new study tested the birds outside this naturally occurring behaviour, which may have evolved（進化）specifically because it gives crows a survival advantage. Some crow species are known to naturally use tools to recover food. So the researchers tested whether the birds could

12、 store and recover a tool so they could get it at their food after a gap of 17 hourssomething we wouldnt expect them to do naturally. But they were able to instantly select the tool out of a number of unnecessary items.In another experiment, the researchers taught crows to select a token （禮品券）from a

13、 number of items so that they could then exchange for food. Again, the birds then showed that they could plan for the future using this new behaviour.

Most critics would say the former, as the animals were tested in naturally occurring behaviours.But the new research provides the first evidence that animal species can plan for the future using behaviour that doesnt typica

Instead, it suggests that animals can apply these behaviours flexibly across problems in a similar way to humans. We need to investigate how flexible beh

Then we might be able to see how crows ability to plan for the future fits in with their broader cognitive powers.1、Whats the new finding about some crows according to Paragraph 1?AThey can store food. BThey can use tools to recover food.CThey can store and recover tools. DThey can s

DBuild a nest with it.3、What do scientists think of the studies that animals can plan for the future?AThey are controversial. BThey are disappointin

19、g.CThey are contradictory.
