第一节 (共15 小题:每小题2分,满分30分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。 A
Chimps(黑猩猩) will cooperate in certain ways,like gathering in war parties to protect their territory.But beyond the minimum requirements as social beings,they have little instinct (本能) to help one another.Chimps in the wild seek food for themselves.Even chimp mothers regularly decline to share food with their children.Who are able from a young age to gather their own food.
In the laboratory,chimps don’t naturally share food either.If a chimp is put in a cage where he can pull in one plate of food for himself or,with no great effort,a plate that also provides food for a neighbor to the next cage,he will pull at random﹣he just doesn’t care whether his neighbor gets fed or not.Chimps are truly selfish.
Human children,on the other hand are extremely corporative.From the earliest ages,they decide to help others,to share information and to participate a achieving common goals.The psychologist Michael Tomasello has studied this cooperativeness in a series of expensive with very young children.He finds that if babies aged 18months see an worried adult with hands full trying to open a door,almost all will immediately try to help.
There are several reasons to believe that the urges to help,inform and share are not taught.but naturally possessed in young children.One is that these instincts appear at a very young age before most parents have started to train children to behave socially.Another is that the helping behaviors are not improved if the children are remanded.A third reason is that social intelligence.Develops in children before their general cognitive(认知的)skills,at least when compared with chimps. In tests conducted by Tomasello,the children did no better than the chimps on the physical world tests,but were considerably better at understanding the social world
The cure of what children’s minds have and chimps’ don’t in what Tomasello calls
what.Part of this ability is that they can infer what others know or are thinking.But that,even very young children want to be part of a shared purpose.They actively seek to be part of a “we”,a group that intends to work toward a shared goal.
21. what can we learn from the experiment with chimps?
A. Chimps seldom care about others’ interests.
B. Chimps tend to provide food for their children.
C. Chimps like to take in their neighbors’ food.
D. Chimps naturally share food with each other.
22. Micheal Tomasello’s tests on young children indicate that they _______.
A. have the instinct to help others. B. know how to offer help to adults.
C. know the world better than chimps. D. trust adults with their hands full.
23. The passage is mainly about ________.
A. the helping behaviors of young children.
B. ways to train children’s shared intentionality.
C. cooperation as a distinctive human nature.
D. the development of intelligence in children.

Larry was on another of his underwater expeditions(探险) but this time, it was different. He decided to take his daughter along with him. She was only ten years old. This would be her first trip with her father on what he had always been famous for. Larry first began diving when he was his daughter's age. Similarly, his father had taken him along on one of his expeditions. Since then, he had never looked back. Larry started out by renting diving suits from the small diving shop just along the shore. He had hated them. They were too big or too small. Then, there was the instructor. He gave him a short lesson before allowing him into the water with his father. He had made an exception. Larry would never have been able to go down without at least five hours of theory and another similar number of hours on practical lessons with a guide. Children his age were not even allowed to dive.
After the first expedition, Larry's later diving adventures only got better and better. There was never a dull moment. In his black and blue suit and with an oxygen
tank fastened on his back, Larry dived from boats into the middle of the ocean. Dangerous areas did not prevent him from continuing his search. Sometimes, he was limited to a cage underwater but that did not bother him. At least, he was still able to take photographs of the underwater creatures.
Larry's first expedition without his father was in the Cayman Islands. There were numerous diving spots in the area and Larry was determined to visit all of them. creatures that Larry saw more than thirty varieties of creatures.
Larry looked at his daughter. She looked as excited as he had been when he was her age. He hoped she would be able to continue the family tradition. Already, she looked like she was much braver than had been then. This was the key to a successful underwater expedition.
24. In what way was this expedition different for Larry?
A. His daughter had grown up. B. He had become a famous diver.
C. His father would dive with him. D. His daughter would dive with him.
25. What can be inferred from Paragraph 2?
A. Larry had some privileges. B. Larry liked the rented diving suits.
C. Divers had to buy diving equipment.
D. Ten-year-old children were permitted to dive.
26. Why did Larry have to stay in a cage underwater sometimes?
A. To protect himself from danger.B. To dive into the deep water.
C. To admire the underwater view.D. To take photos more conveniently.
27. What can be learned from the underlined sentence?
A. Larry didn't wear a watch. B. Larry was not good at math.
C. Larry had a poor memory. D. Larry enjoyed the adventure

Dear Mayor (市长) Lewis,
As we know, the city budget for next year does not include enough money to
maintain the playing fields and skating rink (溜冰场) in Center Park. We are aware that the storms that hit Lyndon last summer caused a great amount of damage, and the city’s budget should first be used to repair the high school, city hall, and airport. Don’t you realize, however, what a loss the park will be?
Center Park is the best place in the city for sports, picnics, concerts, walking, and enjoying nature. It plays a vital role in the education of our children. Each year science teachers bring their classes to the park on field trips to study plants and animals. Small children use the playground equipment every day. There are no other parks nearby for these kids to enjoy themselves. Every day I see the park on my way to school. It is absolutely necessary to support Center Park.
The Lyndon High School Ice Skating Club would like to offer the city some help. We are suggesting a Skatathon. Our members would ask family, friends, and businesses for help, and then skate all day. For every mile skated, we would raise money to be used to maintain the fields and rink. Also, some of our members are willing to help the park staff do simple repairs at the rink.
While it appears that the city can no longer afford Center Park, other facts tell us we have to maintain this park as a place for the entire Lyndon community. It is a green, refreshing place to go in the middle of the city. We hope our idea is the first of many good ideas to keep Center Park green and clean.
Sincerely yours,
Cara Johnson
28. What happened to Center Park last summer?
A. Lack of money made it almost closed.B. A lot of equipment there was missing.
C. It was abandoned by local people. D. It was badly damaged in the storms.
29. In the author’s opinion, Center Park _____.
A. means a lot to those living in Lyndon B. should be open to the public for free
C. is too small for people to have fun D. is more important than the airport
30. A Skatathon might be run to _____.
A. make skating more popular B. collect money to maintain Center Park
C. improve people’s health D. encourage people to join the skating club
31. Cara Johnson wrote the letter mainly to _____.
A. express thanks B. make an apology
C. make a suggestion D. send her congratulations

China is a land of bicycles. At least it was back in 1992 when I traveled the country. Back then everyone seemed to be riding a bicycle. Millions of them, all black. Cars were rare. Yet since my arrival in Beijing last year, I?ve found the opposite is true. There are millions of cars. However, people still use their bicycles to get around. For many, it?s the easiest and cheapest way to travel today. Bicycles also come in different colors---silver, green, red, blue, yellow, whatever you want.
It?s fun watching people biking. They rush quickly through crossroads, move skillfully through traffic, and ride even on sidewalks. Bicycles allow people the freedom to move about that cars just can?t provide.
Eager to be part of this aspect of Chinese culture, I decided to buy a bicycle. Great weather accompanied(陪伴)my great buy. I immediately jumped up on my bicycle seat and started home.
My first ride home was orderly (守秩序的). To be safe, I stayed with a “pack” of bikers while cars on the streets came running swiftly out of nowhere at times. I didn?t want to get hit. So I took the ride carefully.
Crossing the streets was the biggest problem. It was a lot like crossing a major highway back in the United States. The streets here were wide, so crossing took time, skill and a little bit of luck.
I finally made it home. The feeling on the bicycle was amazing. The air hitting my face and going through my hair was wonderful. I was sitting on top of the world as I passed by places and people. Biking made me feel alive.
32.According to the author, why are bicycles still popular in China today?
A. Because they are convenient and inexpensive.
B. Because they are traditional and safe.
C. Because they are colorful and available.
D. Because they are fast and environment friendly.
33.The author decided to buy a bicycle because he intended__________.
A. to ride it for fun
B. to use it for transport
C. to experience local culture
D. to improve his riding skills
34.How did the author feel about his street crossing?
A. It was boring.
B. It was wonderful.
C. It was lively.
D. It was difficult.
35.Which of the following best describes the author?s biking experience?
A. The author enjoyed showing off his biking skills.
B. The author took great pleasure in biking.
C. The author was praised by the other bikers.
D. The author was annoyed by the air while riding.

【小题1】本文主要通过实验得出,黑猩猩生来就缺乏合作意识,他们天生就不会与他人分享食物,并且非常自私;与之相反的是人类从婴幼儿时期开始就有合作意识,有帮助他人并与他人分享的欲望.文章还从多方面的原因证明了合作意识是人类生来就有的本能.
主旨大意题 文中第二段主要讲述了在实验室里,黑猩猩也是生来就不会和他人分享食物,并且还非常的自私;A 黑猩猩很少关心他人的利益.B.黑猩猩往往会为他们的孩子提供食物.C.黑猩猩喜欢拿它邻居的食物.D.黑猩猩生来就互相分享食物;故选A
【小题2】主旨大意题 根据第三段的中心句“Human children,on the other hand are extremely corporative.另一方面.人类的孩子就非常具有合作意识”以及“He finds that if babies aged 18months see an worried adult with hands full trying to open a door,almost all will immediately try to help.他发现如果18个月大的婴儿看到一个因双手满是东西为无法打开门而焦虑的成人时,几乎所有的婴儿都会立刻尝试着去帮忙.”可知,幼小的孩子们就有帮助别人的意识或本能;因此Micheal Tomasello对孩子们的测试表明:A.有帮助别人的本能.是正确的;本题容易错选B.根据本段的主旨大意可知,不是“B.知道如何向成人提供帮助”,而是知道有意识地去帮助成人,所以B不正确;故选A
【小题3】主旨大意题 通读全文可知,本文通过将黑猩猩与婴幼儿的实验结果对比得出,合作是人类所特有的本性.故选C

【文章大意】本文讲述Larry小时候,特别受优待——接受了水下探险的理论和实践的教育。在父亲的带领下开始了惊奇的水下探险之旅,并不断地成长。最后成为一个有名的探险家。今天,他也要带着女儿水下探险,希望女儿能继承家中传统,也成为一个好的水下探险者。
根据第一段第1,2 句(but this time, it was different. He decided to take his daughter along with him.)告诉我们,Larry再一次进行水下探险,但这一次不同,他决定带他女儿一起去。所以D选项正确。B选项干扰性较大。该段最后一句是说:这是Larry成名后女儿第一次跟父亲去的水下探险。Larry的成名并不是此次探险的不同。故选D。
从该段可知,本来像他这样年龄的小孩是不被允许水下探险的(Children his age were not even allowed to dive.,然而他是个例外(He had made an exception),并且下水之前,他必须接受至少5小时的理论教育以及5小时以上的和老师一起下水的实践辅导。(Larry would never have been able to go down without at least five hours of theory and another similar number of hours on practical lessons with a guide.),由此推测,A选项正确。故选A。
第三段告诉我们,Larry潜入深水中,一些危险区域也阻扰不了他的深水搜寻
(Dangerous areas did not prevent him from continuing his search.)。而根据常识,在深水中人呆在铁笼中以防危险的突发(如海底动物的袭击)。故选A。
第四段告诉我们,有个人免费带他在水中在不同的区域探险,这样他得以亲眼目睹到30多种以上类型的海洋生物(The diving spots afforded such a wide array
