We acknowledge them as Americans in the making, or identify them as aliens to be kicked out. That framework has contributed

28、a great deal to our broken immigration system and the long political paralysis over how to fix it. We dont need more categories, but we need to change the way we think about categories.

36、. Legal or Illegal: Big Mistake.DIn 2014, UC Berkeley biologist Robert Dudley wrote a book The Drunken Monkey: Why We Drink and Abuse Alcohol, proposing that our attraction to alcohol arose millions of years ago, when our monkey ancestors discovered that the smell of alcohol led them to ripe and nut

37、ritious fruit. Recently, a new study led by Christina Campbell of California State University, Northridge (CSUN) supports this idea, which Dudley calls the “drunken monkey” hypothesis (假说). In his book, Dudley laid out evidence for his idea, which showed that some fruits known to be eaten by monkeys

38、 have a naturally high alcohol content of up to 7%. But he did not have data showing that monkeys or apes preferentially sought out and ate fermented (发酵的) fruits, or that they digested the alcohol in the fruit. For the newly reported study, the CSUN researchers analyzed the alcohol content in the f

39、ruits eaten by black-handed spider monkeys at a field site, Barro Colorado Island in Panama. They found that the fruits routinely had alcohol concentrations of between 1% and 2%, a by-product of natural fermentation by yeasts. Moreover, the researchers collected urine (尿液) from the free-moving monke

40、ys and found that the urine contained secondary metabolites (代谢产物) of alcohol. This result shows that the animals were actually using the alcohol for energyit wasnt just passing through their bodies. “They would get more calories from fermented fruit than they would from unfermented fruit. The highe

41、r calories mean more energy,” Campbell said. The need for the monkeys high caloric intake may similarly have influenced human ancestors decisions when choosing which fruit to eat, Campbell added. “Human ancestors may also have preferentially selected alcohol-laden fruit for consumption, given that i

42、t has more calories,” she said. Today, the availability of alcohol in liquid form, without the belly-filling pulp of fermenting fruit, means its easy to have too much of it. The idea that humans natural love for alcohol comes from our primate ancestors could help society deal with the consequences o

43、f alcohol abuse. “Heavy alcohol consumption can be viewed conceptually as a disease of nutritional excess,” Campbell said. 32. What is the “drunken monkey” hypothesis about? A. Monkeys can hardly resist the attraction to alcohol. B. Monkeys get drunk easily by eating fermented fruits. C. It is diffi

44、cult for humans to deal with drunken monkeys. D. Our love for alcohol has its roots in our monkey ancestors. 33. What can we learn from Dudleys book written in 2014? A. Some fruits are high in alcoholB. Monkeys prefer to eat fermented fruits. C. It takes a long time for monkeys to digest alcohol. D.

45、 Alcohol in the fruit harms monkeys digestive system. 34. What did the researchers find in the urine samples? A. Alcohol has obvious effects on monkeys. B. Monkeys take in the alcohol for some energy. C. Alcohol can stay in monkeys bodies for long. D. Unfermented fruit is much healthier for monkeys.

46、 35. What does the author want to tell us in the last paragraph? A. The significance of the new research. B. The ways to fight against alcohol abuse. C. The problem of heavy alcohol consumption. D. The effects of alcohol abuse on human health.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为

And another interesting finding has been revealed recently. 36. _ As a typical form of caring about others, volunteering has been proved to be beneficial to us in the following ways. l Volunteering makes us happier.

48、Throughout history, cooperation and community have been essential parts of human survival. One reason we feel so rewarded when helping others is that the happiness of those around us has taken root in our survival instinct. According to one study, people who volunteered at least once a month reporte

49、d better mental health than those who didnt. 37. _l Volunteering increases our sense of purpose. Typically, the act of volunteering involves taking action and engaging with others.

73、of childrens vision is facing a growing threat. As a recently conducted survey indicates, the rate of students being shortsighted is increasing at a discouraging speed.According to the survey, about 14.3% of pre-school kids are shortsighted. As for primary school students, the rate has climbed to 35

74、.6%. However, that rate dramatically doubles after students attend junior high school, which accounts for 71.1% of the total. Astonishingly, nearly four fifths of senior high school students are suffering from a poor vision. From the survey, it is apparent that the age for the beginning of shortsightedness is getting younger. Meanwhile, there is a sharp progression of shortsightedness during the high school.
