21、Sharing truly is caring, even among babies. A recent study found that babies would not only offer up their food to a hungry stranger but will do so even when facing hunger themselves. The study which included 100 19-month-olds, was done by the University of Washington’s Institute for Learning & Brain Sciences (I-LABS).
Lead author on the study and researcher at I-LABS, Rodolfo Cortes Barragan, said, “We think altruism is important to study because it is one of the most unique aspects of being human. We adults help each other when we see another in need and we do this even if there is a cost to the self. So we tried out the roots of this in babies.”
The researchers monitored how the babies behaved when different fruits — such as strawberries, bananas, and grapes — were presented in front of them. They also divided the babies into two groups: the “Non-begging” group and the “Begging” group. The experimenter dropped a piece of fruit and pretended to be unsuccessful when trying to reach for it, indicating that they were begging for the lost food. More than half of the babies picked up the food and gave it to the researcher!
Then researchers brought in some babies, all of the the same age, right before their scheduled mealtimes. Again, researchers showed the same behavior. “The babies in this second experiment looked longingly at the fruit, and then they gave it away!” said Andrew Meltzoff, the Co-Director of I-LABS. “We think this captures a kind of baby-sized version of altruistic helping.”
After researchers analyzed the data, they found that babies that came from families with brothers and sisters or specific cultural backgrounds were also more likely to help. “We think certain family and social experiences make a difference, and continued research would be desirable to more fully understand what maximizes the expression of altruism in young children,” Barragan said. “If we can discover how to promote altruism in our kids, this could move us towards a more caring society.”
【1】Why did the researchers conduct the research?
A．To know how food attracts babies.
B．To see whether babies help each other.
C．To test the origins of altruism in humans.
D．To find the motivation of babies to help others.
【2】How did the babies in the second experiment differ from those in the first one?
A．They were of all ages.
B．They had brothers or sisters.
C．They were hungry when tested.
D．They came from special families.

22、The University of Birmingham is the first excellent UK Russell Group university to announce that it will accept the "Gaokao" exam for high-flying Chinese students wishing to join its. undergraduate courses in 2019. High school students who complete the "National Higher Education Entrance Examination", or Gaokao, with top grades will be able to apply for direct entry onto Birmingham degree programmes without first completing a foundation year which is a routine for the freshman.
Gaokao is usually taken by students in their last year of senior high school and, every year, each province in China sets the grades required to gain admission to its universities. It is usually held across China in early June. Students are tested in Chinese, Mathematics, a Foreign Language and social sciences or natural sciences.
University of Birmingham Vice-Chancellor Professor Sir David Eastwood said: "The University of Birmingham has been challenging and developing great minds for more than a century. We welcome people from around the globe to study at Birmingham and Chinese students form an integral part of our education and research community. We are further opening access to Birmingham's wealth of education opportunities for the brightest and most dedicated Chinese students by accepting this strict and important qualification. I look forward to welcoming these high-flying students to the University of Birmingham. "
Gaokao is increasingly accepted by universities in Australia, the USA, Canada and mainland Europe. Birmingham will only be considering high quality students who achieve a minimum 80% Gaokao score and meet additional academic and English language requirements.
Professor J on Frampton, Director of the University of Birmingham's China Institute said:"The University of Birmingham has a long history of educating students from China and one of our most famous graduates is Li Siguang-the founding father of Chinese geology. I am delighted that the University is now accepting the Gaokao. This gives the brightest and best Chinese students an opportunity to move straight into the first year of our undergraduate programmes and experience the benefits of studying at a global Top 100 university, such as Birmingham. "

23、 Litterati is an app that people can use to upload information about litter they collect outside, such as its appearance, material, location, and brand. Shared online, this information contributes to building a global database of "litter maps", which can influence policy and packaging design.
"Society's failure to solve the litter problem has not been from a lack of trying. There have been public service announcements, and coastal cleanups. But I believe two components are missing from the discussion—community and data," said Jeff Kirschner, the developer of Litterati app.
Uploading pictures to an app shows users that they’re not the only ones picking up litter from public places and that others are invested in cleaning the planet, too. And the data accumulates rapidly, telling a story that helps people understand who picked up what, where, and when. In this way, people are encouraged to do more.
In San Francisco, the Litterati app was able to identify and map more than 5,000 pieces of litter in order to determine how much was caused by cigarettes specifically. Using this information the city successfully challenged a lawsuit by tobacco companies and doubled an existing cigarette sales tax, bringing in US $4 million annual revenue（税收）.
By joining forces with others using the same platform, individuals are able to take their anti-litter activism to another level. The power of combined data leads to more Extended Producer Responsibility, which is precisely what we want and advocate here—producers are forced to be responsible for dealing with their own products once consumers no longer find them useful and are incentivized to create more environmentally friendly packaging or better policies as a result of that new responsibility.
Litterati takes a refreshingly non-judgmental approach. It shows a positive we-can-do-it attitude. Just as Jef Kirschner said, "Our goal isn't to shame. It's to provide transparency to the problem. We provide access to data and share insights with cities, citizens and businesses, guiding us all to identify the root cause of the problem, and make informed decisions of how to clean the planet."
【1】What makes us fail to solve the litter problem according to Kirschner?
A．Lack of necessary data about litter.
B．The public's laziness in taking action
C．People's poor environmental awareness.
D．Absence of government publicity and support.
【2】Why are tobacco companies mentioned?
A．To show the influence of Litterati
B．To describe the details of the map
C．To warn people of the harm of cigarettes.
D．To prove the large consumption of tobacco.
【3】What does the underlined word "incentivized" in paragraph 5 most probably mean?
A．Allowed.
B．Appointed.
C．Inspired.
D．Believed.
【4】What is the advantage of Litterati?
A．It can sort out litter automatically
B．It makes litter problem transparent.
C．It can shame people into not littering.
D．It can guide people when they collect litter
24、（B）
I needed to get some money so, after Christmas, I took a job in the clothes department at Graham’s for the first fortnight of the January sale. I can’t say that I enjoyed it, but it was an experience I’ll never forget.
I could never understand why there were so many things in the sales; where did they all come from? Now I know the secret! Firstly, there is the special winter stock (货物) and the stock that people buy all the year round; some of these things are slightly reduced. Secondly, there are the summer clothes they couldn’t sell last year; these are heavily reduced to clear them. Thirdly, there are cheap clothes bought in specially for the sales; these are put out at high prices ten days before the sale begins and then are reduced by 60% in the sale. Clever! Lastly, they buy in “seconds? (clothes not in perfect condition) for the sale and they are sold very cheaply.
When I arrived half an hour before opening on the first day of the sale, there was already a queue around three sides of the building. This made me very nervous.
When the big moment arrived to open the doors, the security guards, looking less confident than usual, came up to them, keys in hand. The moment they had unlocked the doors, they hid behind the doors for protection as the noisy crowd charged in. I couldn’t believe my eyes; this wasn’t shopping, it was a battlefield! One poor lady couldn’t keep her feet and was knocked over by people pushing from behind.
Clothes were flying in all directions as people searched for the sizes, colours and styles they wanted. Quarrels broke out. Mothers were using their small children to crawl(爬行) through people’s legs and get hold of things they couldn’t get near themselves.
Within minutes I had half a dozen people pushing clothes under my nose, each wanting to be the first served. Where had the famous English Queue gone? The whole day continued like that, but I kept my temper(脾气)! I was taking money hand over fist and began to realize why, twice a year, Graham’s were happy to turn their expensive store into a battlefield like this.
In the sale fever, people were spending money like water without thinking whether they needed what they were buying. As long as it was a bargain it was OK.
You won’t believe this but as soon as I got home I crashed out for four hours. Then I had dinner and went back to bed, fearing the sound of the alarm which would tell me to get ready for the second day of the sale.
【1】What kind of clothes is likely to be sold 5% cheaper?
A．Last summer’s clothes.
B．Clothes not in perfect condition.
C．Clothes bought in specially for the sales.
D．Clothes for winter.
【2】Which of the following statements is true?
A．The customers gave up the queuing for which the English are famous.
B．The customers kept their temper while looking for clothes they wanted.
C．Small children enjoyed crawling through people’s legs.
D．The security guards were fearless of the crowd.
【3】In the author’s opinion, why were Graham’s happy to make their expensive store into “Battlefield?
A．There were too many clothes and they wanted to clear them in the sales.
B．They were eager to show that they were clever at doing business.
C．They could take the chance to raise the prices of all their clothes.
D．They wanted to make more money by having sales.
【4】The expression “crashed out” means ________.
A．chatted with her friends
B．slept soundly
C．broke down
D．dined out
【5】What would be the best title for the passage?
A．The Best Bargain.
B．Hunting for a job.
C．Sale Fever.
D．A Pleasant Fortnight.
