第二部分阅读理解（共10小题；每小题2分，满分20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 in dicate 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.

C. cooperation as a distinctive human nature.

D. the development of intelligence in children.

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

24. What happened to Center Park last summer?

25. 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

26. 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

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.

27.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.

28.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

29.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.

30.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.

51 （keep）a diary in English is one of the effective ways to improve our English writing ability.

52（Compare） with other forms of writing, it is shorter and takes less time. It can help us to develop the habit of thinking in English. If we persist in this practice, gradually we’ll learn how53 （express）ourselves in English. In keeping a diary in English, we certainly run up against many 54 (difficult). In the first place, it often happens that we have trouble in 55 (find) appropriate words and phrases to give expression to our mind. Secondly, there 56 (be) many idiomatic ways of saying things in Chinese. And it is extremely hard for us to put them into English 57 (proper).

As far as I am 58 (concern), my suggestion is 59 we should always have a notebook and a Chinese-English dictionary within easy reach. Whenever something beats us, we can first put it down in our notebook and then consult our dictionary. We can also ask our English teacher 60 help, if necessary. In short, I believe that it is of great use to keep a diary in English for the development of our writing skills.
