10、three things you probably didnt know about pizza.1: Pizzas Origins Are Half-Baked.The Neapolitans（那不勒斯人）in Italy are proud of saying they invented pizza, but its probably more accurate to say, they perfected it. The idea of putting toppings on a flatbread and baking it started in the 6th century B.

11、C. But the people of Naples were the first to put tomato on a flatbread in the 16th century. From its start, pizza was a food of the poor, as it was cheap, filling and easy to eat on the run. In Italian, the word “pizza” refers to anything that is made and then pressed flat.2: Pizza Margherita Is No

12、t Exactly a Symbol of Italy.It was said some day in 1889, a local baker named Raffaele Esposito created three pizzas for Queen Margherita when she was on a tour of Italy. The queen loved the version that had tomato, basil and mozzarella cheese- and just happened to match the colors of the Italian fl

13、ag. So Esposito named the pizza 5after her.But Pizza historian Scott Wiener points out that Italy was unified in name only in 1889 so it was unlikely any Neapolitan baker would want to celebrate “the Northern conquerors.” Further, the letter of gratitude for the pizza from the royal household that P

14、izzeria Brandi displays appears to be a fake（赝品）and may just have been a marketing plan.3: Hawaliian Pizza Invented by a Canadian.Sam Panopoulos, from Greece originally moved to Canada at the age of 20. In 1962, he decided to put some ham and pineapple on a pizza at one of his restaurants in Ontario

15、.“We just put it on for fun to see how it was going to taste,” he told the BBC in 2017. Panopoulos named it the Hawaiian pizza after the brand of canned pineapple he used. The mix of sweet and savory toppings caught on with a certain part of the pizza-loving public. The inventor died in 2017.1. Who

16、was pizza first made for?A. The people of Naples.B. The poor Neapolitan people.C. The rich Italian people.D. Queen Margherita specially.2. What can we learn about Pizza Margherita?A.

20、. The challenges facing small bookstores were-and remain-significant. Apart from the obvious rise in online selling, the increase in the popularity of e-books has negatively affected independent providers.The question is why a new, small-scale（小规模的）provide would voluntarily enter such a challenging

21、market? From a personal view, our reasoning was sound: we wanted to share our love of great books and reading for pleasure with as many like-minded people as possible.Having done our homework, one thing became clear. In order for us to succeed, we would have to offer something that none of our large

22、r competitors already provided. And so we started the Willoughby Book Club. We set up our website in the summer of 2012, and we havent looked back.The idea of service is simple. We offer a range of book subscription gift packages, available in three-month, six-month and 12-month options. Our 7custom

23、ers choose a package, tell us a little about the person theyre buying it for, and we use this information to send the receiver a hand-picked, gift-wrapped book once a month. We also recently decided to give one new book to Book Aid International for every gift subscription sold. These books are sent

33、ider “nothing” a number. Parrots and monkeys understand the concept of zero, and now bees have joined the club, too.Honey bees are known to have some numerical skills such as the ability to count to four, which may come in handy when keeping track of landmarks in their environment. To see whether th

34、ese abilities extended to understanding zero, researchers trained 10 bees to identify the smaller of two numbers. Across a series of trials, they showed the insects two different pictures displaying a few black shapes on a white background. If the bees flew to the picture with the smaller number of

35、shapes, they were given delicious sugar water, but if they flew toward the larger number, they were punished with bitter-tasting food.Once the bees had learned to consistently make the correct choice, the researchers gave them a new choice: a white background containing no shapes at all. Even though

36、 the bees had never seen an empty picture before, 64% of the time they chose it rather than a picture containing two or three shapes, the authors report today in Science. This suggests that the insects understood that “zero” is less than two or three. And they werent just going for the empty picture

37、 because it was new and interesting. Another group of bees trained to always choose the larger number tended to pick the nonzero image in this test.In further experiments, the researchers showed that bees understanding of zero was even more complex: for example, they were able to distinguish between

38、 one and zero-a challenge even for some other members of the zero club. Advanced numerical abilities like this could give animals an evolutionary advantage, 10helping them keep track of predators（捕食者）and food sources. And if an insect can display such a thorough grasp of the number zero, write the r

39、esearchers, then this ability may be more common in the animal kingdom than we think.8. According to the trials, the researchers have found that bees _.A. have the same intelligence as parrots and monkeysB. can count many numbers after being trainedC. can identify the smaller number quicklyD. unders

40、tand the concept of zero9. The researchers trained another group of bees to _ .A. confirm the bees are able to identify the smaller numberB. find the big difference between the two groups of beesC. prove the bees are interested in new thingsD. show the bees can be distinguished easily10. What do the

41、 researchers suggest in further experiments?A. Bees should be trained more.B. Numerical abilities could help predators find bees.C. Insects are better at understanding zero than animals.D. Animals may display a thorough grasp of the number zero.11. What is the best the title for the text?A. New Find

43、 than two or three.”可知，根据试验，研究人员发现蜜蜂能够理解零的概念，故 D 项正确。【9 题详解】推理判断题。第二段说研究人员训练十只蜜蜂来识别两个数字中较小的那一个，再结合第三段中的“Another group of bees trained to always choose the larger number tended to pick the nonzero image in this test.”可知，另一组训练总是挑选较大数字的蜜蜂倾向于选择非零图像，研究人员训练这组蜜蜂的目的就是为了证实蜜蜂能够识别较小的数字，故 A 项正确。【10 题详解】细节理解题。根据

44、最后一段中的“And if an insect can display such a thorough grasp of the number zero, write the researchers, then this ability may be more common in the animal kingdom than we think.”可知，进一步的研究表明动物能够完全掌握零的概念，故 D 项正确。【11 题详解】主旨大意题。通读全文，特别是第一段中的“Parrots and monkeys understand the concept of zero, and now bees

45、have joined the club, too.”可知，本文介绍了研究人员通过试验发现蜜蜂能够理解数字零的概念，故 A 项正确。【点睛】科普类说明文的主旨大意题难度很大，抓住文章的主题句是关键，这类文章的主题句一般会出现在文章第一段，例如本篇第 4 题，根据第一段中的“Parrots and monkeys understand the concept of zero, and now bees have joined the club, too.”可知，本文介绍了蜜蜂也像鹦鹉和猴子一样能够理解数字零的概念。DSome people dream about becoming enginee
