21、“Adolescent chimpanzees (黑猩猩) are in some sense facing the same psychological characteristics that human teens are,” said Alexandra Rosati,a professor at the University of Michigan. “Our findings show that several key features of human adolescent psychology are also seen in our closest primate relatives.”

The researchers conducted two tests involving food rewards with 40 wild-born chimpanzees in Republic of Congo. The chimpanzees voluntarily participated in the games to receive food treats.

Chimpanzees experience adolescence at about 8 to 15. Like humans, chimpanzees show rapid changes in hormone levels during adolescence,start forming new bonds with companions, show increases in aggression and compete for social status.

In the first test, adolescent and adult chimpanzees could choose between two containers in a gambling (投机) task. One container always contained peanuts, a food that chimpanzees somewhat like. Hidden in the other one was either an unlined food — a cucumber slice — or a favorite food — a banana slice. The chimpanzees could play it safe and get the peanuts, or take a chance for some greatly desired banana at the risk of ending up with unappetizing cucumber. The chimpanzees’ emotional reactions were recorded, including angers, screams, or sticking on the table.

During several rounds of the test, adolescent chimpanzees took the risky option more often than adult chimpanzees, but adolescents and adults had similar negative reactions when they received cucumber.

The second lest, modeled after the famous “marshmallow test” with human children, examined delayed satisfaction where chimpanzees could receive one banana slice immediately or wait for one minute to receive three slices. Both adolescent and adult chimpanzees chose the greater delayed reward at a similar rate. Human teens lend to be more impulsive (冲动) than adults so they would be more likely to take the immediate reward.

“Prior research indicates that chimpanzees are quite patient compared with other animals, and our study shows that their ability to delay satisfaction is already mature at a fairly young age, unlike in humans,” Rosati said.

Risk-taking behavior in both adolescent chimpanzees and humans appears to be deeply biologically rooted, but increases in impulsive behavior may be specific to human teens.

【1】What does the first test aim to find out about chimpanzees?

A．Their problems of emotions.

B．The signs of aggression.

C．Their sense of adventure.

D．The change in hormone levels.

【2】What does the underlined expression “play it safe” in paragraph 4 mean?

A．Give it a try.

B．Take an action.

C．Play with fire.

D．Avoid taking risks.

【3】How might chimpanzees feel after getting the cucumber in the experiment?

A．Puzzled.

B．Delighted.

C．Disappointed.

D．Surprised.

【4】What is the finding of the second test?

A．The chimpanzees prefer bananas to any other reward.

B．Human adolescents tend to enjoy the instant satisfaction.

C．Human teens’ ability to delay satisfaction develops better.

D．The chimpanzees are impatient to wait for delayed rewards.

22、   Several months ago I decided it would be wise to investigate the possibilities of buying a life insurance policy，if for no other reason than because I understood it might be a good investment. I got the name of an insurance agent from a friend and called the agent to get some information.

From the kinds of questions I put to him，the agent would tell that I knew nothing about insurance so he kindly offered to explore the matter with me in more detail -to help me determine the kind of policy I ought to be considering.

That evening he appeared at my door promptly at 7：30；without wasting time on amenities he spread his papers out on the kitchen table and launched into a lengthy explanation. I listened attentively as he talked about the difference between various types of policies，and he explained the kind of coverage he felt I ought to have because of my age bracket and financial objectives. Toward the end of the evening (after three or four hours of talking)，he kindly helped me fill out an application for a 50，000 dollar policy，and then he asked if I could go to a Dr. Luther's office on Friday for a physical examination.

I don't know why，but it was not until the mention of the doctor's appointment that I realized fully what was happening. I was about to sign a lifetime contract yet I had not really made a decision about whether I wanted to buy the policy or not. As a matter of fact，the question of the need for a decision from me one way or the other had not even come up. Suddenly I felt sure that I definitely did not want to buy the policy. However, since he had spent so much time with me，I didn't want to make him feel that he had wasted his time. So I invented an excuse about things I had to do on Friday，and I assured him I would call him in a few days. Actually，I had no intention of going to see Dr. Luther or of calling the agent again. I wanted to forget the whole thing.

It's been over three months now since our meeting，and my friendly insurance agent still calls at my office faithfully two or three times a week. My secretary knows that I don't want to talk to him，so when he calls she tells him that I'm in a meeting or that I'm out of the office or that I'm away on a business trip. I realize now that it was a mistake not to tell him outright that I'm not interested，and please not to bother me any more，all I can do is to avoid his calls and hope I don't run into him someplace.

A.He wanted to fill out an application for a life insurance policy.

B.He had decided to buy a life insurance policy.

C.He wanted to explore the possibilities of buying a life insurance policy.

D.He took great interest in the insurance company.

【2】According to the passage，the agent was ______ .

A.an experienced salesman B.kind but inexperienced

C.ineffective D.easy to deal with

【3】The writer didn't tell the agent the truth because ______ .

A.he was afraid of him.

B.he felt embarrassed to do so.

C.he thought it none of the agent's business.

D.he didn't wish to lose the agents friendship.

【4】The writer realizes that ______ .

A.he should have told the truth to the agent earlier.

B.he should buy the policy.

C.the agent is a real friend.

D.insurance is but swindle(骗局)

23、   Biology researcher Sayaka Mitoh loves studying Japanese sea slugs. Her research at Nara Women’s University sounds like something from out of scary movies. While studying these small, cute creatures in the lab one day, she saw something strange. A sea slug had cut off its own head but kept on living and moving. Then a couple more sea slugs did the same!

So, Mitoh and another researcher Yoichi Yusa tried it themselves. They cut off the heads of 16 sea slugs. Six of the creatures started regeneration. Three of them survived. One of the three even lost and regrew its body twice. And two different kinds of Japanese sea slugs went through the regeneration process.

Other creatures can lose body parts when needed. For example, some lizards drop their tails to get away from danger and regrow them later. This is a biological event called autotomy (自切).

“We think that this is the most extreme case of autotomy,” Yusa said. He added that some animals can autotomize their legs or tails but no other can drop their whole body.

One kind of sea slug can grow to 15 centimeters long. Scientists had long thought that a creature of that size could not survive without a heart to pump blood and nutrients to the brain.

When these sea slugs eat a certain type of algae (藻类), Yusa said, they can photosynthesize (光合作用) their food from sunlight and oxygen, just like a plant, for about 10 days. He guessed that after autotomy, the head sort of acts like a plant. It turns green and gets its energy from oxygen and sunlight. Mitoh and Yusa said that sea slugs probably developed this ability as a way of fighting off parasites (寄生虫).

Nicholas Curtis is a biology professor at Ave Maria University. What is especially interesting, he said, is that these sea slugs are more complex than other creatures that are known to regenerate. This discovery could help scientists better understand how to regenerate, or regrow, human tissue in the future.

【1】What did Sayaka Mitoh find when studying Japanese sea slugs?

A．They mainly fed on plants.

B．They often fought against each other.

C．They could regrow their bodies.

D．They looked like creatures in a certain movie.

【2】How did the author develop the second paragraph?

A．By presenting figures.

B．By making comparisons.

C．By following time order.

D．By describing the process.

【3】Why can Japanese sea slugs survive after autotomy according to Yusa?

A．Their body size is extremely small.

B．Their brain doesn’t need nutrients to grow.

C．They mainly feed on a certain type of algae.

D．They can make food from sunlight and oxygen.

【4】What is Nicholas Curtis’s attitude towards the findings?

A．Uncaring.

B．Disapproving.

C．Positive.

D．Doubtful.

24、Whether it be a person, an animal, or even an insect, a mother’s instincts(本能)are never wrong. This idea rings true for a mother cat who acted fast and sought out help when her kittens were in trouble. This mother cat’s quick thinking may have just saved her babies.

In the urban district of Izmir in western Turkey, a cat walked into a regular hospital holding a kitten in her mouth. As the mother cat moved through the hospital, people were surprised to see such a sight, but let her pass. The mother cat asked for help, crying for a long time. She was familiar to the hospital staff, who had been leaving her food and water outside, but they were unaware that she had given birth to kittens.

The mother cat was concerned for her young because they weren’t able to open their eyes. After the doctors looked at the kittens, they noticed that they were suffering from eye infections. One of the doctors recalls, “We consulted with vets and gave medicine as described. When the kittens opened their eyes a short time later, we were excited." Later, they were sent to an animal hospital for further care. The cats are now up for adoption and will hopefully find loving forever homes.

When it comes to mother cats and kittens, kittens completely depend on mothers for the first few months of their lives. Because they are blind and almost deaf until about two or three weeks old, the mother cat must protect them from any threat or danger. Without the mother cat’s help, the kittens may not make it to adulthood.

As shown by the mother cat in Turkey, a mother’s love and protection knows no bounds. Whether the mom is a human or a cat, mothers will always look out for their babies and make sure they are safe and healthy.

【1】Why did the mother cat show up in the hospital?

A．To seek out food.

B．To express thanks.

C．To get her babies treated.

D．To give birth to her babies.

【2】What makes newly-born cats dependent on their mothers?

A．Their physical state.

B．Their eating habit.

C．Their appearance.

D．Their behavior.

【3】What can we learn from the story?

A．A cat has nine lives.

B．Love makes a difference.

C．One good turn deserves another.

D．God helps those who help themselves.

26、阅读下面材料.根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

Once upon a time, two brothers, who lived on adjoining（毗邻的）farms, fell into conflict. It was the first serious fight in 10 years of farming side by side, sharing machinery, and trading labour and goods as needed without a hitch.

Then the long cooperation fell apart. 11 began with a small misunderstanding and it grew into a major difference, and finally it exploded into an exchange of bitter words followed by weeks of silence.

Very early one morning there was a knock on the older brother's door. He opened it to find a man with a carpenter's toolbox. " I'm looking for a few days' work,“ he said. "Perhaps you would have a few small jobs here and there. Could I help you?"

"Well as it happens there is." said the older brother.

“1 do have a job for you. Look across the stream at that farm. That’s my neighbour. In fact,   it's my younger brother. Once there was a meadow（草地）between us and last week he took his bulldozer（推土机）and plowed a stream between us. Well, he may have done this to hurt me, but I'll go one better than that. See that pile of wood by the barn? I want you to build me a fence. a 2-metre-high fence, so I won't need to see him or his place anymore. "

The carpenter said, "I think I understand the situation. Show me the nails and the post-hole   digger and I'll be able to do a job that pleases you.

注意：

1.续写词数应为150左右；
