21、Birds don’t need lessons in building nests. Fish don’t need coaching to learn how to swim. All animals have instincts. They’re born with natural abilities to do certain things. Wild animals also learn by copying their parents and practicing. And pets learn through training.
But instincts and training aren’t the only keys to animals’ behavior. Scientists say animals’ thoughts and feelings also influence their actions. Animals often make choices, plans, and sensible changes. They can help others and solve problems. Some even make and use tools!
If animals could talk, what would they say about their thoughts and feelings? A gorilla (大猩猩) born in captivity (关在笼子里) has helped answer that question. Koko, a gorilla, was taught to use sign language. She has learned hundreds of words!
Koko once had a pet cat she named All Ball. “Koko love Ball,” she signed. “Soft good cat.” One time, she blamed the cat for biting her by signing “You bad dirty toilet!” When her pet died, Koko cried. “Sad for sleeping cat,” she signed.
Koko calls herself “fine animal gorilla”. She uses sign language to argue, joke, and ask and answer questions.
“Most animals can’t use words to tell us their thoughts,” says Dr. Jonathan Balcombe. “But Koko shows us that animals have their own ideas and feelings.” Dr. Balcombe is a scientist at the Humane Society of the United States. He says there’s even more to discover about animals through field studies. In field studies, people watch animals in their natural environment.
“Scientists who study animals’ natural behaviors learn how animals live and think,” Balcombe says. “That knowledge can help others respect every animal who shares the planet with us.”
【1】The underlined word “instincts” in Paragraph 1 probably refers to the ability that ________.
A.animals copy their parents B.animals learn by practicing
C.animals are born with D.animals learn through training
【2】The example of Koko shows that ________.
A.an animal likes to have its own pet B.an animal can learn to speak through training
C.an animal has the natural ability to speak D.an animal can speak its mind
【3】According to Balcombe, learning how animals live and think can ________.
A.help people care for animals B.teach animals to use words
C.train animals to use tools D.train animals to be cleverer
【4】What might be the best title for the passage?
A.Raising animals as pets B.Understanding animals
C.Training animals to speak D.Protecting animals from danger
22、Have you ever had someone in your organization who was always agreeable? A type of person who always agrees with everyone else. 【1】
We have most likely all met a yesman at one time or another. Yesmen are cager to please, but find it very difficult to voice their opinion. So what can you do as a leader to deal with them?
Talk to them. The first step is an honest and objective conversation about their behavior. 【2】 Try to get them to see how they respond in these situations so they can start to see themselves objectively as well.
【3】 Start with a recent time when they agreed with a decision, and ask for their opinion. Keep asking "why?" or "how come?" Acknowledge(承认)their views and let them know that the rest of the learn is waiting to bear what they say.
Find out why they always agree. It may be they are just very agreeable people. 【4】 Find the causes and work with them to reduce the external(外部的)barriers to having their voice beard.
Tell them they need to disagree, constructively, when they have the next opportunity. When that time comes about, don't embarrass them by putting them on the spot. Instead, ask them what they think, avoid yes-no questions, and use "why" and "how come" questions to get their thoughts out there for the benefit of the team. Thank them for their ideas, 【5】
A．Ask what their opinions are.
B．They should provide value to the organization.
C．Or they feel like they will be saying something stupid.
D．Even if all the ideas presented conflict with each other!
E．Sometimes the person does not realize that they agree with everything.
F．Yes men are a challenge in any organization that values individual contributions.
G．This will build their confidence and allow then to continue doing what you have started in the future.
23、Directions: Read the following passage.Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box.Each sentence can be used only once.Note that there are two more sentences than you need.
Charity — Humanity’s most kind and generous desire — is a timeless and borderless virtue, dating at least to the dawn of religious teaching. Philanthropy (慈善行为) as we understand it today, however, is a distinctly American phenomenon, inseparable from the nation that shaped it. From colonial leaders to modern billionaires like Buffett, Gates and Zuckerberg, the tradition of giving is woven into the national DNA.
【1】 Benjamin Franklin, an icon of individual industry and frugality (节检) even in his own day, understood that with the privilege of doing well came the price of doing good. When he died in 1790，Franklin thought to future generations, leaving in trust two gifts of 1,000 lb. of sterling silver — one to the city of Boston, the other to Philadelphia. According to his instruction, a portion of the money could not be used for 200 years.
While Franklin's gifts lay in wait, the tradition he established evolved alongside the young nation. 【2】 Often far less famed men and women have played a critical role in philanthropy's evolution. One of my personal heroes is Julius Rosenwald, who helped construct more than 5,300 schools across the segregated (种族隔离) South and opened classroom doors to a generation of African-American students.
【3】 The answer is not just to benefit others.Tax reduction, for one, encourages the rich people to give. And philanthropy has long helped improve the public image of everyone from immoral capitalists to the new tech elite. More troubling, however, are the foundational problems that make philanthropy so necessary. Just before his death, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. wrote, “Philanthropy is praise-worthy, but it must not cause the philanthropist to overlook the circumstances of economic injustice which make philanthropy necessary.”
Franklin’s gifts represent a broader principle. We are guardians of a public trust, even if our capital came from private enterprise, and our most important obligation is ensuring that the system works more equally and more justly for more people. 【4】 America's greatest strength is not the fact of perfection, but rather the act of perfecting.
A．What accounts for this culture of generosity?
B．This belief is central to the national character.
C．How can a sense of generosity be cultivated?
D．Americans’ generosity is rooted in selfless behavior.
E．America’s philanthropic nature is not restricted to the rich.
F．The formal practice of philanthropy traces its origin to a Founding Father.

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头续写两段，使之构成一个完整的故事。
Little Rat
Little Rat was not a rat. She was a girl of seven, but most neighbours thought she was only four. People called her by that because her skin was too dark. In the early 1900s, life was rather tough for a kid without parents. She was often teased with questions like, “Who is your father? Where is your mother?”
One night Little Rat lay down on her bed after a day’s heavy work. She was about to fall into sleep when she saw a rat slipping out of a hole in the wall. “A little rat!” she screamed, which scared the rat to escape away.
Lying down, however, somehow the girl couldn’t sleep any more. “It’s good that I’m not alone here,” she thought. She slipped down from the bed, tiptoed a few steps away, and looked at the hole. Again, the rat ran out, shook off the dust from his furs and smelled around with his little wet nose. At last he found a chicken bone on the floor. The rat picked up the bone with his swift paws and began to bite it greedily.
“He must be very hungry,” the girl thought. The idea made her feel hungry, too. Carefully she took a small piece of bread out of her pocket and threw some onto the floor before the little rat. Seeing no threat from the human before him, the animal reached the bread and all of a sudden he forgot all possible dangers and snatched the bread.
So day after day the girl kept company with the little rat. She fed him with the little food she had, and the rat would eat out of her hand. The girl was beaten by her aunt more often than before, because she always seemed eager to run back to her little room after doing the washing in the evening.
One morning the girl was carrying a barrel of water to her aunt’s garden. Suddenly she heard a sharp cry from the kitchen. It was her aunt. “Rat! A rat!” she screamed. Then the girl heard the woman chasing the rat in the kitchen.
