任务型读写。In a memorybased competition between you and a chimp (猩猩)；who do you think would win?If
you put yourself on top, you might want to guess again.
In a test that challenged participants to remember numbers, a young chimp performed better than
Japanese college students.
Here's how the test worked.At Kyoto University in Japan, human students and chimpanzee
participants sat in front of a computer.Five numbers, ranging from 1 to 9, were combined with one
another and then, they appeared at random places on the screen.
The numbers stayed on the screen for less than a second.In the first test, for example, participants
saw the numbers for 650 milliseconds (about twothirds of a second).
Then, each number disappeared and they saw a white square instead.Participants had to touch the
squares in numerical order, based on the numbers that had been there a moment before.
In this test, the students touched the boxes in the correct order about 80% of the time.A young
chimp named Ayumu performed equally well.
During a harder test, participants were only able to see the numbers for 210 milliseconds.
This time, students only succeeded in putting the boxes in the correct order about 40% of the time.
But Ayumu still could select the boxes in the right order nearly 80% of the time.
"Some people have what's called a 'photographic memory, ' which allows them to remember a
surprising number of details after just a quick glimpse of something.Ayumu's memory might work in a
similar way, " says lead researcher Tetsuro Matsusawa.
The chimp's young age might have something to do with his impressive performance, too.In previous
tests, the Japanese researchers found that young chimps performed better than their mothers.
The scientists are interested to see whether Ayumu loses his strong memory as he grows older.They
already know that young children sometimes have sharp memories when offered something
photographical, but they lose this ability over time.

考点
据考高分专家说，试题“任务型读写。 In a me.....”主要考查你对 [日常生活类阅读 ]考点的理解。日常生活类阅读
日常生活类阅读的概念：

【题型说明】
该类文章内容涉及到人们的言谈举止、生活习惯、饮食起居、服饰仪表、恋爱婚姻、消遣娱乐、节日起源、家庭生活等。文章篇幅短小，追根溯源，探索各项风俗的历史渊源，内容有趣。命题也以送分题为主，如事实细节题、语义转换题、词义猜测题和简单推理判断题等。虽然这类文章读起来感觉轻松，试题做起来比较顺手，但绝不能掉以轻心。因为稍不留神，就会丢分。
【备考提醒】
为了保证较高准确率，建议同学们做好以下几点：
1、保持正常的考试心态。笔者在教学中发现，越是容易的试题，同学们越是容易失分。为什么呢？因为在这种情况下，同学们极易产生麻痹思想，认为题目好做，就不引起高度重视，于是思维不发散、不周密。而命题人就是利用同学们的这一弱点，设计陷阱题。所以，无论试题难易与否，我们都要保持正常的考试心态。试题容易，不欣喜；试题难，不悲观。
2、根据前面讲到的方法，认认真真、细细心心做好事实细节题。
3、做好语义转换题。这类题是根据英语中一词多义和某些词语在文中能表达一定的修辞意义的原则而设计的。要求同学们解释某生词的含义，确定多义词或短语在文中的意思，确认文中的某个代词所指代的对象，或者对英语中特有的表达、格言、谚语进行解释。这种题要求同学们一定要根据上下文猜测词义或理解句子，切不可望文生义。
4、做好简单推理判断题。简单推理判断题要以表面文字为前提，以具体事实为依据进行推理，做出判断。这种推理方式比较直接，只要弄清事实，即可结合常识推断出合理的结论。
