21、Chimpanzees,long considered reluctant to share,apparently can display selfless tendencies,revealing one more key way our closest living relatives are like humans,scientists find. These findings could shed light on the evolution of altruism in humans.
Previously,a belief was widely held that human altruism evolved only after humans split from their ape cousins about 6 million years ago.In recent years,however,research has revealed just how much chimpanzees have in common with us.They can hunt with spears,play with dolls and mourn their partners'death.
“Most of the earlier studies had presented the apes with a complex implement that helped them deliver food to themselves or others,often so complicated that the experiments tested tool skills rather than social tendencies,”De Waal told Live Science.“Ours is the first study that uses no such implement at all.”
In addition to using complex food-delivery systems,past experiments often placed the chimpanzees so far apart that they might not have realized how their actions benefited others.In these new,simplified experiments,two apes were housed next to each other with a screen through which they could see each other.Then,one chimpanzee had to choose between two differently colored tokens (币) from a bin,one of which represented a pro-social (亲社会的) option,the other a selfish option.The pro-social option would cause both chimpanzees to receive a piece of banana wrapped in paper.The selfish option only rewarded the ape who made the choice.
In a study with seven adult female chimps placed into various pairs,the scientists found all the apes showed a definite preference for the pro-social option.“For me,the most important finding is that like us,chimpanzees take into account the needs and wishes of others,”researcher Victoria Horner,said.
The chimpanzees behaved especially altruistically toward partners who either patiently waited or gently reminded them that they were there by drawing attention to themselves.They were less likely to reward partners who pressured through making a fuss,begging persistently or spitting water at them.This is opposite to a long-standing view that the chimpanzees only share food under pressure.
【1】The word“ altruism” (paragraph 1) is closest in meaning to ______.
A. selfishness
B. selflessness
C. willingness
D. reluctance
【2】Recent researches are performed with less complicated implements mainly to ______.
A. show that chimps are only good at using implements
B. see whether chimps are willing to share food with others
C. find out if chimps are likely to reward partners
D. test chimps’ social tendencies instead of tool skills
【3】Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?
A. Evolution History of Altruism in Humans
B. Similarities between Chimps and Mankind
C. Chimps Do Show Selfless Behavior
D. Chimps Only Share Food under Pressure
22、Outdoor air pollution is an obvious danger because it’s hard to miss.Auto gases, industrial waste, city smog—everyone knows they’re a health hazard(危险) and a call for solutions is on everyone’s lips.But there’s another threat just as perilous— a hidden threat(威胁) we are usually unaware of.We’re speaking about the threat of indoor air pollution.
The dangers caused by indoor air pollution are too often underestimated(低估) and overlooked.According to a recent study, indoor air pollution can be many times higher than outdoor air pollution.A similar study by the Environmental Protection Agency shows that, in general, the air in our homes and offices is two to five times more polluted than outdoor air.
Scientific studies have found that indoor air pollution exacerbates(恶化) the symptoms of asthma(哮喘), and contributes to causing nausea(恶心), headaches and damage to the central nervous system.Evidence has even been found linking poor indoor air quality to certain cancers.Children who spend eighty percent of their time inside are particularly affected by indoor air pollution.
Cigarette smoke, chemical fertilizers(肥料), perfumes and clothing that has been dry-cleaned may contribute to indoor air pollution.Building materials—including paint and glue—are also contributors.
And homes aren’t the only indoor areas affected by this danger.Offices are affected too—sometimes more so—with their copy machines and printers, inks and processing solutions (显影液)and so on.
Fortunately there are many ways to reduce indoor air pollution and improve indoor air quality in your home and office.A major first step would be the use of an air purifier(净化器).
【1】What does the underlined word “perilous” mean?
A.Nervous. B.Similar. C.Obvious. D.Dangerous.

【3】Which of the following is the usual contributor of air pollution in our homes?
A.Smoking. B.Printing.
C.Copy machines.D.Processing solutions.
7.【4】What would be discussed in the paragraph that follows?
A.An introduction to the air purifier.
B.Other dangers of indoor air pollution.

D.More solutions to the problem of air pollution.
23、 Road rage is commonly seen or often happens in our daily lives. There have been countless stories about this new and scary phenomenon, considered a type of aggressive driving. While drunk driving remains a critical problem, the facts about aggressive driving are surely as disturbing. For instance, last year alone, 41, 907 people died on the highways. Of those deaths, it’s estimated that about two-thirds were caused at last in part by aggressive driving behavior.
Why is this phenomenon occurring more than ever now? Experts have several theories, and all are probably partially correct. One suggestion is sheer overcrowding. In the last decade, the number of cars on the roads has increased by more than 11 percent, and the number of miles driven has increased by 35 percent. However, the number of new road miles has only increased by 1 percent. That means more cars in the same amount of space; and the problem is magnified in urban areas.
Also, people have less time and more things to do. With people working and trying to fit extra chores and activities into the day, stress levels have never been higher. Stress creates anxiety, which leads to short tempers. These factors, when combined in certain stations, can spell Road Rage.
You may think you are the last person who would drive aggressively, but you might be surprised. For instance, have you ever yelled out loud at a lower driver, sounded the born long and hard at another car, or sped up to keep another driver from passing? If you recognize yourself in any of these situations, watch out!
Whether you are getting angry at other drivers, or another driver is visibly upset with you, there are things you can do to avoid any major conflict. If you are easily influenced by road rage, the key is to discharge your emotion in a healthy way. If you are the target of another driver’s rage, do everything possible to get away from the other driver safely, including avoiding eye contact and getting out of their way.
【1】 Last year on the highways, .
A. approximately two thirds of drivers were killed by road rages
B. road rage remained the No. 1 killer and took 41,907 people’s lives
C. more people were killed by aggressive driving than by drunk driving.
D. drunk driving was a problem more serious than aggressive driving.
【2】As a cause of aggressive driving, which of the following is not included?
A. Drivers’ stress and anxiety.
B. Rush hour traffic.
C. Increasing number of cars.
D. Overcrowded roads.
【3】Which of the following shows the main idea of the last paragraph?
A. The bad results of road rage
B. How to discharge your emotion properly.
C. The practical ways to escape any fight on roads
D. People easily influenced by road rage
24、 Imagine someone who has spent the majority of their life sitting with a sign on the side of the road and that very person giving someone their last 20 dollars. That’s exactly what Marine Corps veteran (退伍军人) Johnny Bobbitt, 34, did in October in Philadelphia.
Bobbitt served in the U.S. Marine Corps and worked as a paramedic (医务辅助人员) in Vance County, N. C. before he became homeless. Nobody knew how he got to where he was because he was discreet about that.
One night in October, Bobbitt was sitting roadside with a sign in Philadelphia as usual, when Kate McClure of Florence Township, N. J. was driving home down Interstate 95 and ran out of gas. Scared and nervous, she got out of the car to head to the nearest gas station. As McClure was heading to the nearest gas station, she ran into Bobbitt and he told her to get back in the vehicle and lock the door. Minutes later, he appeared with a red gas can. He’d used his last $20 to buy her gas.
After that unexpected meeting, McClure and her boyfriend, Mark D’Amico, who both live in New Jersey, visited Bobbitt several times to deliver gift cards, cash, snacks and toiletries. They then decided to create a fund raising page so he wouldn’t have to spend the holidays sleeping on the street.
McClure started the GoFundMe page on November 10. With the page, the couple hoped to raise $10,000, enough money for his rent, a reliable vehicle and up to six months’ expenses. Bobbitt’s story ran in a local paper. By November 15,more than 10,000 local people had made donations through the GoFundMe page and more than $300,000 had been raised.
On Thanksgiving, Bobbitt was resting in a hotel, his feet up on the bed, drawing up a grand plan for his new life, thanks to several thousand dollars raised to repay him for a good deed.
【1】What does the underlined word “discreet” in paragraph 2 most probably mean?

C.Guilty. D.Optimistic.
【2】McClure met Bobbitt when she .
