16、way. After a few steps, I turned and asked him whether he needed help. He told me his house was one station further and he would only need to take the train there. So I reached for his hand to help him stand up.He wanted to take the stairs but I feared that he would hurt himself since he seemed too

17、weak to walk, so I asked him to take the elevator. Even though my mind was trying to turn the danger lights on, I put the thought that I should not go alone with a drunken man out of my mind and accompanied him on the elevator.We arrived on the platform with no incidents. The mans knees seemed to so

18、ften, so I asked him to rest on a bench. While sitting there, he thanked me, telling me that I saved him. No, I said, I really did nothing; he saved himself as he walked on his own feet.At the next station, we said our goodbyes. Before I knew it, he left 100 dollars and dashed out of the train. Ther

I wanted to leave it on the seat, but a young woman who thought it belonged to me ran after me and gave me the note.My initial reaction to getting that money was of shame and I even felt offended.

23、rouble.Personality, just as among people, varies among trees.Some are anxious, some bold.On the authors land, there are three oak trees growing close together.One of the oak trees always starts to shed its leaves two weeks earlier than the others.Since they all experience the same temperature, the s

24、ame soil and the same length of day, such variables cant be the explanation.So whats happening？Well, this tree is simply more careful than the others.Whoever holds on to their leaves longer can do more photosynthesis(光合作用) and store more nutrients.However, the longer a tree keeps its leaves, the hig

25、her the risk of injury.Not only do trees make their own decisions, they also learn from their mistakes.A tree, for example，keeping its leaves too long during one year will never make this mistake again.This leads to several other conclusions：trees must notice the temperature and the length of the da

The dominant hypothesis(假设) suggests that tough social interactions are the driving force. But our new study done in an unusual way shows that huma

32、n brain expansion is likely driven by ecology(生态)Scientists have tested the ecological and social hypotheses before. The common approach is to look at many species and investigate whether large brains are associated with specific problems. For example, do primates or other animals with large brains

33、have a diet that is challenging to find but nutritionally rewarding? This would indicate an ecological origin. Or do they live in large groups where they face lots of social problems?While many studies have found such associations, there is a problem. It cannot tell whether large brains evolved to s

34、olve the difficult problems or whether they evolved for other reasons and then enabled their bearers to deal with the hard problems.To find out the causes of brain expansion, we recreated the scenarios(情景) of the two hypotheses using a mathematical model. We found that a combination of ecological an

35、d social challenges does produce the brain size we see in humans. But it was ecological challenges that expanded brains. In contrast to the dominant view and our own expectation, we found that social challenges contributed by decreasing brain size. But you need both factors to get the brain size we

36、see todayif there were no social challenges our brains would have been even larger but likely poorly suited to social life. Bigger isnt necessarily better.But many animals face hard ecological problems. Why dont they all have large brains? We found that ecological problems only lead to humansized br

So our results and those of others suggest that hard ecology and the accumulation of cultural knowledge could act together to produce a humansized brain.Will the human brain expand further? The complexity of the systems involved makes

78、heir worries behind and just participate in some fun games outdoors.”可知，Wellesley College的做法是为了让学生得到乐趣。23D解析：细节理解题。根据最后一段第二句“UNHs vendor provides wrinkleresistant caps and gowns made of recycled plastic bottles.”可知，答案选D项。【解题导语】本文是一篇记叙文。作者在地铁站台看到有个醉汉坐在地上，于是把对方搀扶起来并陪他坐上地铁，临下车的时候对方塞给作者一百美元，作者准备用这笔钱继续帮助

79、别人。24C解析：细节理解题。根据第二段第二句中的“I put the thought.with a drunken man”可知，这个人坐在地铁站的地上是因为喝醉了。25A解析：细节理解题。根据尾段第一句中的“My initial reaction.was of shame”可知，作者看到这笔钱最初的反应是感到羞愧，因此选A。26D解析：推理判断题。根据尾段最后一句“Now, my question is.do with these 100 dollars？”可推知，作者下一步要用这笔钱去帮助他人，因此选D。27C解析：推理判断题。根据第二段可知，作者先是把不应该单独与这个醉汉同行的念头赶走

80、，然后在电梯里陪着他，因此C项正确。【解题导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了树的智慧：每棵树都有它不同的个性，遇到困难时它们也会互相帮助；研究发现，树不但能自己做决定，还能从自己的错误中吸取教训。28B解析：推理判断题。根据第二段第四句“One of the oak trees always starts to shed its leaves two weeks earlier than the others.”可知，三棵橡树中，有一棵总比其他两棵先落叶；结合第三段第一句“Not only do trees make their own decisions, they also learn f

81、rom their mistakes.”可知，树木能自己做决定；据此可推知，作者提及三棵橡树旨在说明树木可以自己做决定，故B项正确。29D解析：推理判断题。根据第三段第一句“Not only do trees make their own decisions, they also learn from their mistakes.”，并结合第三段的内容可知，树木不仅能自己做决定，还能从自己的错误中吸取教训；据此可推知，树木适应能力强；根据第四段第一、二句“But trees arent only clever when it comes to caring for themselves.Th

82、ey also support each other whenever theres trouble by giving warnings and even taking care of sick and weak conspecifics with nutrients.”可知，树木不仅善于照顾自己，当遇到困难时，它们会发出警告，相互支持，甚至照顾生病、虚弱的同类；据此可推知，树木之间互帮互助，故D项正确。30B解析：词义猜测题。根据第四段尾句“Well, the stump was nourished by its neighbors with nutrients from the root

83、 system, and had been for at least 400 years！”可知，树桩是由它的邻居从根处给予营养来滋养的；结合第五段第一句“Why do trees do_such_a_thing？”和第五段的内容可知，该处表示“为什么树木要互相帮助？”，故画线短语是指提供帮助，故B项正确。31B解析：文章出处题。通读全文可知，本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了树的智慧：每棵树都有它不同的个性，遇到困难时它们也会互相帮助；研究发现，树不但能自己做决定，还能从自己的错误中吸取教训；据此可推知，本文最可能选自科学书籍，故B项正确。【解题导语】本文是一篇说明文。科学研究发现，人类大脑的大小

84、是由生态环境和文化知识的积累共同作用决定的；大脑并非越大越好，如果大脑过大，人类将无法适应社会交往活动。32A解析：细节理解题。根据第一段第二句“The dominant hypothesis(假设) suggests that tough social interactions are the driving force.”并结合第一段内容可知，大部分人认为棘手的社会交往活动是人类大脑进化的动力，故A项正确。33B解析：细节理解题。根据第三段第二句“It cannot tell whether large brains evolved to solve the difficult probl

85、ems or whether they evolved for other reasons and then enabled their bearers to deal with the hard problems.”可知，传统的研究方法无法解释清楚大脑进化的原因和影响，故B项正确。34D解析：推理判断题。根据第五段第二、三句“Why dont they all have large brains? We found that ecological problems only lead to humansized brains when individuals can keep learnin

86、g hard skills as they grow.”可知，只有当个体在成长过程中不断学习艰难的技能时，生态环境才会导致人类特定大小的大脑。据此可以判断，动物在成长过程中并没有持续学习艰难的技能，所以动物没有大的大脑，故D项正确。35B解析：细节理解题。根据第四段第四句“In contrast to the dominant view and our own expectation, we found that social challenges contributed by decreasing brain size”可知，与主流观点及我们自己的预期相反，我们发现社会挑战导致大脑变小。据此
