The first three guests are handed large pieces of

65、cake, while you are handed a teeny-tiny one. How would you feel? Is this fair? Most of us have a clear sense of what is fair and what is not, but where does this come from? Scientists try to study fairness in primate species (灵长类物种) to understand how fairness came about.Fairness often involves equal

66、 outcomes (平等的结果)Do monkeys behave in ways that lead to equal outcomes? To find out, scientists give monkeys choices about how to share food. Scientists ask a monkey to choose between two optionsto provide a piece of food just for themselves, or to provide food for another monkey nearby, as well as

67、for themselves (Figure 1). If monkeys are trying to achieve equal outcomes, they would give food to both themselves and another. Do they? Sometimes.The left monkey has just chosen the board to give food to himself and the neighboring monkey.The left monkey has just chosen the board that provides foo

68、d for himself only.（Figure 1）Whether monkeys favor equal outcomes seems to depend on the species. The species which live in groups will prefer equal outcomes, but not all the time.What else might be influencing whether monkeys create equal outcomes? If the two monkeys are friends, one is more likely

69、 to share food with the other. It also seems that monkeys would make the equal choice when they cannot see the actual foodsome scientists use pictures of food.But wait, does effort matter?Scientists have developed a way to test whether monkeys prefer everyone to be paid equally for doing the same wo

70、rk. In this study, monkeys are trained to work for food by exchanging small coins with a scientist. To determine if and how monkeys respond to unfairness, scientists have two monkeys take turns exchanging coins and give them different foodtheir favorite food or a less-preferred food (Figure2). If th

71、e monkey getting the less-preferred food refuses to keep exchanging coins, scientists conclude the monkeys respond to unfairness.The monkey on the left exchanges the coin for a piece of banana. Next, the neighbor monkey will also exchange a coin, but receive a less-preferred piece of food.（Figure 2）

72、The results of the study have suggested differences across monkey species. Generally, monkeys living in groups do not respond to unfairness, while other monkeys do respond to it. However, monkeys do not appear to mind if they get a better food than others.All in all, monkeys sense of fairness does n

73、ot seem to be as well-developed as our own. By studying their preferences for fairness and responses to unfair situations, we can learn more about how these values developed in humans. And this also helps us to better understand the natural world and how to care for animals as well.28. In the first

74、monkey study, _.A. scientists use more pictures of food than actual foodB. scientists let monkeys choose from a variety of foodsC. the left monkey will get no food if it provides food for anotherD. the left monkey can choose between two ways of providing food29. What can we learn from these monkey s

75、tudies?A. Monkeys living in groups value effort more.B. Monkeys of different species enjoy different work.C. Not all monkeys stop working when treated unfairly.D. Monkeys seem to mind if the neighbor gets less food.30. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. Do Monkeys Care

76、 What Is Fair?B. Can Equal Outcomes Bring Fairness?C. Why Do Monkeys Value Fairness and Effort?D. How Do Monkeys Develop a Sense of Fairness?【答案】28. D 29. C 30. A【解析】【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章通过科学家们研究猴子对公平的偏好和对不公平情况的反应，使我们可以更多地了解这些价值观是如何在人类身上形成的。这也有助于我们更好地了解自然界以及如何照顾动物。【28题详解】细节理解题。根据Fairness often involves equ

77、al outcomes部分“Scientists ask a monkey to choose between two optionsto provide a piece of food just for themselves, or to provide food for another monkey nearby, as well as for themselves (Figure 1).（科学家让一只猴子在两种选择中做出选择只给自己一块食物，或者给附近的另一只猴子和自己一样提供食物(图1)。）”可知，在第一个研究中，科学家让一只猴子在两种选择中做出选择，一种是只给自己提供一块食物，另一种

78、是给附近的另一只猴子和自己都提供食物，也就是猴子可以在两种提供食物的方式中进行选择。故选D项。29题详解】推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“The results of the study have suggested differences across monkey species. Generally, monkeys living in groups do not respond to unfairness, while other monkeys do respond to it. However, monkeys do not appear to mind if they get a b

79、etter food than others.（研究结果表明，不同种类的猴子之间存在差异。一般来说，群居的猴子不会对不公平做出反应，而其他猴子会对不公平做出反应。然而，猴子似乎并不介意自己是否得到了比其他动物更好的食物。）”可知，对于不公平的态度，不同种类的猴子之间存在差异。所以可以推断不是所有的猴子在受到不公平待遇时都会停止工作。故选C项。【30题详解】主旨大意题。根据最后一段“All in all, monkeys sense of fairness does not seem to be as well-developed as our own. By studying their pr

80、eferences for fairness and responses to unfair situations, we can learn more about how these values developed in humans. And this also helps us to better understand the natural world and how to care for animals as well.（总而言之，猴子的公平感似乎没有我们人类那么发达。通过研究它们对公平的偏好和对不公平情况的反应，我们可以更多地了解这些价值观是如何在人类身上形成的。这也有助于我们

81、更好地了解自然界以及如何照顾动物。）”以及整个文章的理解可知，文章主要讲述有关猴子对公平的偏好和对不公平情况的反应的研究。所以A选项“Do Monkeys Care What Is Fair?（猴子在乎公平吗？）”概括文章主旨，适合作为文章标题。故选A项。DWeve all experienced failure. Whether we like it or not, failure is part of life. How people respond to it is of great importance both to their decisions and achievements.

82、 Some are likely to have such expectations: “If I should reach that goal, how happy would I feel?” In a recent study, we wanted to understand how such expectations may change in the face of failure. Are people able to predict their own happiness?The old saying “the grass is always greener on the oth

83、er side” suggests that people spend much of their time longing for things they cant have. In other words, the harder it is to achieve, the higher the valuation. But is this a good model for how ordinary people process failure? According to the story The Fox and the Grapes, failure often leads us to

84、drop our initial (最初的) plan. In the story, the fox jumps with all his strength, yet he fails to reach the grapes. Finally, he walks away, concluding that the grapes were sour (酸的) anyway.So, which is it: greener grass or sour grapes? We did an experiment to determine how people react to failure.In t

85、he study, about 1,200 participants (参加者) received either good or poor feedback (反馈) on the practice trial of a test. Half of them were told that they had performed in the bottom 20 percent, while the other half, in the top 20 percent. They were then asked to predict how they would feel if they earne

86、d a high score on the actual test.The research results showed that those who received poor feedback on the practice trial predicted that they would feel less happiness and less pride, compared to those who received strong feedback. However, when they received a top score on the actual test later, th

87、ey were just as happy as the other half, and much happier than they had predicted before. This suggests that the initial failure made people undervalue how good it would feel to succeed in the future.The question though, is why failure makes us downplay our future happiness. According to Professor J

88、on Elster, people dont always know what they want, and often change their wishes to match what appears within reach. When the outcome doesnt fit the one they have of themselves, they protect themselves by devaluing the goalrather than devaluing self. In other words, when personal failure happens, on

89、e way of protecting our positive (积极的) sense of self is to refuse to accept the emotional importance of future achievements.Detachment (超脱) from personal goals can be useful, if it helps people redirect their attention from the impossible to better and more achievable goals. However, if the sour-gra

90、pe effect kicks in too early and people become fearful of failure, they could miss out on the chance to try again and realize that what once seemed impossible is now within reach.31. What does the story The Fox and the Grapes suggest?A. The outcome valuation depends on what goal is set.B. Difficulti

91、es result in a higher achievement expectation.C. Past performance doesnt help predict future happiness.D. Initial failure makes future success appear less attractive.32. The word “downplay” in Paragraph 6 probably means “_”.A. undervalueB. better understandC. destroyD. discover33. What do we know fr

92、om the passage?A. The participants cared more about strong feedback.B. The happier people are those who predict less happiness.C. The participants performance failed to match their abilities.D. People devalue the goal to keep a positive view of themselves.34. What is the writer trying to tell us?A.

93、Failure is the mother of success.B. Detachment stops people from changing wishes.C. The seemingly impossible is worth trying sometimes.D. The sour-grape effect pushes us to keep moving forward.【答案】31. D 32. A 33. D 34. C【解析】【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要论述了人面对失败时的反应和期望的变化。【31题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段“According to the story

94、 The Fox and the Grapes, failure often leads us to drop our initial (最初的) plan.(根据狐狸与葡萄这个故事，失败常常会导致我们放弃最初的计划)”可知，狐狸与葡萄这个故事告诉我们，失败常常会导致我们放弃最初的计划。即最初的失败会让以后的成功变得不那么有吸引力。故选D项。【32题详解】词句猜测题。根据第五段最后一句话“This suggests that the initial failure made people undervalue how good it would feel to succeed in the f

95、uture.(这表明，最初的失败让人们低估了未来成功的感觉)”可知，研究表明最初的失败让人们低估了未来成功的成就感。所以第六段紧接着提出问题“The question though, is why failure makes us downplay our future happiness.(为什么失败会让我们低估未来的幸福？)”，承接上文，其中downplay呼应上文中的undervalue，两者为同义词，意为“低估，轻视”。A. undervalue低估；B. better understand更好地理解；C. destroy摧毁；D. discover发现。故选A项。33题详解】细节理解

96、题。根据倒数第二段“When the outcome doesnt fit the one they have of themselves, they protect themselves by devaluing the goalrather than devaluing self.(当结果不适合他们自己时，他们通过贬低目标来保护自己，而不是贬低自己)”可知，人们通过贬低目标来保护自己，以保持对自己的积极看法。故选D项。【34题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一段“However, if the sour-grape effect kicks in too early and people bec

97、ome fearful of failure, they could miss out on the chance to try again and realize that what once seemed impossible is now within reach.(然而，如果酸葡萄效应过早出现，人们会变得害怕失败，他们可能会错过再次尝试的机会，并意识到曾经看起来不可能的事情现在已经唾手可得)”可知，作者认为如果在事情的开头就害怕失败，我们可能会错过一些本来可以实现的事情，所以作者告诉我们要转变思维，去尝试看似不可能的事情。C项“The seemingly impossible is w

98、orth trying sometimes.(有时候，看似不可能的事情值得一试)”符合题意。故选C项。E根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。What is a Food CriticA food critic is a writer who specializes in writing criticisms of food.

108、章，从快餐店到高档餐厅”符合语境，故选F。【36题详解】根据上文“Becoming a food critic takes time. Many food critics pursue professional experiences in the world of food, attending culinary schools, working in restaurants, participating in farming, and so forth.(成为一名美食评论家需要时间。 许多美食评论家追求在食物世界的专业经验，参加烹饪学校，在餐馆工作，参与农业，等等)”可知，上文提到了美食评

125、析】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。在大学最后一年作者的政府奖学金被取消了，这让他很生气，但是在读了一篇中国竹农的故事后，作者明白了生活并不是一帆风顺的，通常情况下，做你应该做的事，像中国的竹农一样有耐心，相信事情会解决的，这能帮助你度过最艰难的时刻。【40题详解】考查细节理解。根据第一段第一句“The last thing I wanted to hear when my government-sponsored scholarship was withdrawn during my final year of college was(当我的政府奖学金在大学最后一年被取消时，我最不想听到的就是)”可知，

126、在大学最后一年作者的政府奖学金被取消了。故答案为The authors government-sponsored scholarship was withdrawn.【41题详解】考查细节理解。根据第二段倒第三句和倒第二句“No growth is seen until the fourth year, when the seed finally breaks through the ground. Then, in the space of just five weeks, it grows ninety feet tall. (直到第四年，种子终于破土而出时，才开始生长。然后，仅仅5个星期

127、，它就长到了90英尺高)”可知，在第四年种子最终破土而出，竹子在5个星期后长到了90英尺高。故答案为The seed finally breaks through the ground and the bamboo grows ninety feet tall in five weeks.。【42题详解】考查推理判断。根据最后一段最后一句“Just doing what you are supposed to be doing, having patience like the Chinese bamboo farmer, and trusting that things will work

128、out for you can help you get through the toughest times. (做你应该做的事，像中国的竹农一样有耐心，相信事情会解决的，这能帮助你度过最艰难的时刻)”可知，并不是只要耐心地等待就好了，还要做你应该做的事，耐心等待，相信事情会解决的。所以“simply wait patiently for the great ending to come”处错误，答案为(1)According to the passage, to overcome difficulties, we need to do what we are supposed to be

129、doing rather than simply wait patiently for the great ending to come. (2)To overcome difficulties, we need to trust things will work out, have patience and do what we are supposed to be doing.【43题详解】考查开放性回答。根据最后一段最后一句“Just doing what you are supposed to be doing, having patience like the Chinese bam

130、boo farmer, and trusting that things will work out for you can help you get through the toughest times. (做你应该做的事，像中国的竹农一样有耐心，相信事情会解决的，这能帮助你度过最艰难的时刻)”可知，生活不是一蹴而就，而是通过一点一点的努力，耐心的等待和坚定的信念来达到目标，所以答案最好是回答你的生活像Sum 2一样，并按照最后一段最后一句来解释原因，可以通过举出生活中的具体例子来体现。故答案为Sum 2. My life is also full of ups and downs. For
