(2017·南京市、盐城市高三模拟考试)A little social support from your best buds goes a long way, whether you're a human or a chimpanzee (黑猩猩). A new study that followed a chimpanzee community in the forests of Uganda has found that quality time with close companions significantly decreased stress hormone levels in the primates — whether they were resting, grooming or facing off against rival groups.

The findings, described this week in the journal Nature Communications, shed light on the physiological effects of close companionship on chimpanzees — and could have implications for human health too.

Researchers have long known that stress can worsen health and raise the risk of early death in humans as well as other social mammals.

“It can have effects on immune function, cardio function, fertilit y, cognition, and even your mood,” said study co-author Kevin Langergraber, a primatologist at Arizona State University.

Maintaining close social bonds can help these animals (humans included) reduce some of that stress, potentially minimizing some health risks. But scientists have yet to pin down the exact physiological mechanisms at work.

“Social bonds make you survive and produce better —but how do they do that?” Langergraber said.

To find out, the international team of researchers studied members of the Sonso chimpanzee community in Uganda's Budongo Forest, a group consisting of 15 males, 35 females and 28 juveniles and infants during the study period from February 2008 to July 2010.

Like humans, chimpanzees tend to have besties — bond partners with whom they appear to feel close. The researchers wanted to see whether interactions with these bond partners led to lower stress levels during particularly stressful situations, such as when fighting rival groups, or whether time spent with friends helped lower stress levels more generally, throughout the day.

The scientists observed the chimpanzees perform three types of activities: resting, grooming or quarrelling with other groups of chimpanzees. The researchers kept track of whether the chimpanzees were doing any of these three things with their bond partners or with other chimpanzees in their group.

A team of up to six observers watched the chimpanzees and followed them around to collect urine (尿液) samples. The samples, collected from nine adult male and eight adult female chimpanzees, were tested to see how much of the stress hormone cortisol they contained.

The scientists found that chimpanzees' levels of urinary cortisol were 23% lower, on average, during the activities when they were with their bond partner. This was especially true for stressful activities, such as the intergroup rivalries, where any chimpanzee on the front line might face physical harm or even death.

The findings in chimpanzees, some of our closest living relatives, could shed light on the role such close social relationships play in human health too, he said. Such friendships may be just as important during good times as bad — though more research needs to be done before any conclusions can be drawn.

“This has interest for a lot of people in a medical context as well,” Langergraber said.

(2017·江苏省高考名校联考)54-year-old Michael h as got accustomed to picking up things at Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) in Massachusetts. He has been working as a custodian (管理员) there for the last eight years, cleaning the floors, vacuuming the carpets, wiping the blackboards and picking up the trash. But last month, Michael picked up something he really wants to obtain all his life —a degree in mechanical engineering.

In the year 2008, Michael, a businessman, with two decades of successful business, felt his world crashing down around him. Fewer phone calls were coming in, but he tried not to panic. Then customers stopped calling completely and he had no choice but to apply for bankruptcy. Soon, his home was foreclosed (取消抵押品赎回权). And without his income to support his wife, her vending machine (自动售货机) business eventually went under as well. He and his family had to move from their big house to a tiny apartment. Michael started looking for jobs with construction companies, but no one had the intention to hire a man in his age.

The only work he could find was to be a custodian at a local college.The pay was about half what he used to make, but the benefits were good, so he told himself that he would take advantage of the benefits offered by the school, to feel like he was making more money. One of the added job benefits was tuition-free classes, so he decided to make good use of them as well. Michael would take the classes by day and clean up after his schoolmates at night. “I was angry. I was depressed. But as the semester went on, I thought, ‘Oh g eez, this is taking my mind away from everything,’” the happy graduate said. “When I got my first A, I thought, ‘This is really nice.’”

But it didn't all go smoothly. His new job wasn't something that he was especially

proud of. Besides, the failure of his business still crowded his mind, which challenged him most. “When you lose everything like that, you don't trust your ambition. You're just trying to get through the day,” Michael said. “It was hard to look my kids in the eye. I couldn't tell them to work hard and they'd be successful ... because I did that, and I lost.”

In spite of the hardships Michael had to go through, he kept going to classes, and after three years into his studies he realized he was well on his way to a college degree. He felt awkward attending school along with students at his kids' age, but the support of the other students turned out to be a big factor in his unbelievable achievement. “I realized it was more my own judgment than anyone else's,” he said.“They thought what I was doing was really great.”

On May 14, 2016, eight years after taking his first class at WPI, Michael walked out on the stage to pick up his diploma, under the proud eyes of his family and colleagues. He continued to work as a custodian at WPI, but he was also looking forward to the day when he could pick up a job in engineering. On the big day, Michael wrote “OLD DOG HAS NEW TRICKS” on the top of his mortarboard (学位帽), and on each corner inscribed a single letter: a “J” for Joyce, his wife; a “P” for Paul, his son; and an “A” and “N” for Amanda and Nicole, his daughters — a perfect gift to his supportive family.

Michael's ambition and insistence have inspired the entire custodial staff at WPI. Over the years, other members of the staff had attended the free classes offered by the school like him, but none of them could achieve their goals to the extent he did. “When people say my story inspires them, I know what that means on the other side. From time to time, other people's stories got me through unpleasant times. I'm glad I can be that person,”Michael said.

C

(2017·江苏省六市高三联考)HIV is a tricky virus that escapes typical immune responses. During a successful immune system response to a foreign body, white blood cells produce antibodies that target the foreign body. These antibodies then mark the foreign body for destruction by other immune cells. For the most part, HIV escapes these immune defenses, but rare individuals develop antibodies that effectively block the virus. Researchers are now showing that these

antibodies can also act as treatments in other HIV patients.

HIV has several ways of escaping the immune response.

Unlike most viruses, HIV specifically attacks a type of white blood cell that is critical to our immune system. During reproduction, the HIV virus also picks up many new mutations (变异), which often change it enough that any antibodies produced earlier during the infection no longer recognize it.

These rare antibodies can also keep the virus from infecting new cells, which could make them an effective treatment. In animal studies, injection of low concentrations of these antibodies could act as a vaccine (疫苗) and provide protection against infection.Injections can even control active infections when combined with additional antibodies that target other molecules (分子) on the HIV surface. These findings led to humans phase 1 clinical trials to evaluate a specific antibody that targets HIV. This study revealed that a single injection of the antibody typically reduced the presence of HIV in the blood of patients who have viruses that were sensitive to the antibody.

After performing test-tube studies showing the effectiveness of the antibody,

III. Reading Comprehension Section B Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. B Kettlebells do not hurt people. People do. A kettlebell will get your respect – the easy way or the hard way. Here is the easy way. 1. Get a medical clearance. Get clearance, especially from an orthopedist and a cardiologist. The latter is no joking matter, since kettlebell training can be extremely intense. 2. Always be aware of your surroundings. Find a training area with a non-slippery surface on which you are not afraid to drop a kettlebell. The area must be clear of objects you might trip over – including other kettlebells – or that you might hit with a kettlebell. There should be no people or animals in a radius where you could injure them. 3. Train barefoot or wear shoes with a flat, thin sole and room for the toes to spread. Training barefoot is superior for health and performance reasons. If you must wear shoes, wear Converse Chuck Taylors, Vibram Five Fingers, or similar shoes that have thin soles and do not pinch the toes together. You have sensory receptors on the bottoms of your feet that make you stronger and improve balance and coordination. Wearing traditional shoes diminishes the ability of these receptors to work properly, and therefore inhibits performance and can increase the risk of injury. Go native. 4. Never contest for space with a kettlebell. Do not try to save a rep that has gone wrong. Guide the kettlebell to fall harmlessly, and move out of the way if necessary. And remember, quick feet are happy feet. 5. Practice all safety measures at all times. Respect every kettlebell, even the lightest one. Always use perfect form picking up and setting down a kettlebell. The set is not over until the bell is safely parked.

In 1873, Strauss received a letter from a Jewish tailor named Jacob Davis who had invented a process of connecting pockets with copper rivets(铆钉).This made the pants last a long time.Because Davis did not have the money to patent his idea, he offered to share it with Strauss if Strauss would agree to pay for the patent. 4 . By the time Strauss died in 1902, he had made a great contribution to American fashion. 5 The business has been growing ever since and Levi Strauss' company is now one of the largest clothing companies in the world. A.As a young boy, he moved with his family to the United States. ! B.Nobody knew what kind of material was suitable. C.He did and Levi jeans have been made with metal rivets ever since. D.However, he did not get much business for those products. E.He also made a great contribution to America's clothing industry. F.Since they were invented by Levi Strauss, they have become a symbol of American consumer culture. G.As the business grew, Strauss got much money from it.

The problem is that we don’t have enough money. She expressed the hope that they would come to China one day. ②宾语从句中的连接词that有时可省有时又不可省,在以下几种情况中that不能省略:(A)当that 从句和主句谓语动词之间有插入词语或者从句主语之间有插入语时,that不可省略;(B)当that 从句与另一名词性从句并列作宾语时,that不能省;(C)当that作介词宾语时,that不可省掉。如:He judged that,because he was a child, he did not understand wine Everyone knew what happened and that she was worried. The reason lies in that she works harder than the others do. ③that从句作主语和宾语时,可以用it 来替换成以下几种结构表达。 (A)It is clear/certain/likely/true/surprising that… (B)It is a pity/shame/good idea/no wonder that ...(C)It is said/reported/ believed/known/thought/suggested that … (D)It seems/happens that。如: It happened that I went out last night. It is said that China will win in the World Cup. ④that和what的区别。 that 引导名词性从句时,在主从句中不以当任何句子成分,也没有任何含义;而what引导名词性从句时,在主从句中都要充当一定的句子成分,what可以分解成定语从句中的先行词+ 关系代词即常说的先行词+ that。如: It’s shame that he has made such a mistake. Do what he says. ⑤同位语从句与定语从句中that的区别。 同位语从句中的连词that只起连接作用,在从句中不担当任何句子成分;而定语从句中的关系代词that在句中做宾语或主语,宾语与先行词有修饰关系。如果句子是同位语从句,就应用连词that而不能用which.同位语从句一般放在表具体含义的名词后解释名词的含义或内容,如以下名词:news、fact、suggestion、truth、plan、belief、doubt、possibility、idea等,而定语从句只是对先行词的限定和修饰。如: They expressed the hope that they would come to visit China again.(同位语从句) The hope she expressed is that they would come to visit China again.(定语从句) 选择填空 1._____________ you have done might do harm to other people.
