26、   In the earliest stages of man’s development he had no more need of money than animals have. He was content with very simple forms of shelter, made his own rough tools and weapons and could provide food and clothing for himself and his family from natural materials around him. As he became more civilized, however, he began to want better shelter, more efficient tools and weapons, and more comfortable and more lasting clothing than could be provided by his own neighborhood or by the work of his own unskilled hands. For these things he had to turn to the skilled people such as smiths, leather workers or carpenters. It was then that the question of payment arose.

At first he got what he wanted by a simple process of exchange. The smith who had not the time to look after land or cattle was glad to take meat or grain from the farmer in exchange for an axe or a plough (犁). But as more and more goods which had no fixed exchange value came on the market, exchange became too complicated to be satisfactory. Another problem arose when those who made things wanted to get stocks of wood or leather, or iron, but had nothing to offer in exchange until their finished goods were ready.

Thus the difficulties of exchange led by degree to the invention of money. In some countries easily handled things like seeds or shells were given a certain value and farmer, instead of paying the smith for a new axe by giving him some meat or grain, gave him so many shells. If the smith had any shells left when he had bought his food, he could get stocks of the raw materials of his trade. In some countries quite large things such as cows or camels or even big flat stones were used for trade. Later, pieces of metal, bearing values according to the rarity (稀有) of the metal and the size of the pieces, or coins were used. Money as we know it had arrived.

【1】What does the first paragraph mainly tell us?

A.Man needed little in the earliest stages. B.Man preferred to make tools by himself.

C.How the simple process of exchange arose. D.What the early man needed from others.

【2】As men became more civilized they____.

A.all learnt to make by themselves the things needed

B.wanted better things than those they themselves could provide

C.had to travel a lot to look for what they wanted

D.no longer provided food and clothing for themselves

【3】Exchange of goods became difficult because______.

A.man became more civilized

B.there was not a marketplace for farmers and smiths to exchange their goods

C.farmers hadn’t enough grain or meat to provide for skilled workers

D.more and more goods which had no fixed exchange values appeared on the market.

【4】Money was not used until_________.

B.paper was invented

D.nothing could be offered in exchange

27、Some cities and lawmakers are resisting crime-fighting tech owing to bias (偏见) and accuracy concerns. Police departments around the U.S. are asking citizens to trust them to use facial recognition software as a handy tool in their crime-fighting toolbox. But some lawmakers — and even some technology giants — are against it.

Take the western Massachusetts city of Springfield, where many residents are Latino or black. Springfield police say they have no plans to use facial recognition systems, but some City Council members are moving to block any future government use of the technology anyway.

At an October hearing on the subject, Springfield City Councilman, Orlando Ramos, defended the technology. “The facial recognition technology does not drop a net from the sky and put you to prison,” he said, noting that it could serve as a useful investigative tool. However, he doesn’t want to take any risks. “It would only lead to more racial discrimination.” he said, citing studies that found higher error rates for facial recognition software used to identify women and people with darker skins.

Similar debates across the country are highlighting racial issues and concerns about the technology’s accuracy. Axon, which supplies body-worn cameras nationwide, had already formed an artificial intelligence ethics board (伦理委员会)that concluded facial recognition technology isn’t yet dependable enough to justify its use on police cameras. Axon Chief Executive Rick Smith said, “Even if facial recognition software was perfectly accurate, the ability to track people raises privacy concerns. “Do we want everybody who walks near a police officer to get their face identified and logged in a database?” he said.

Nevertheless, Todd Pastorini, general manager at biometric forensics (生物取证) company DataWorks Plus, said it’s the “extremely effective” method of running images through photos to help identify a suspect. “Society and the public are going to get frustrated, if governments refuse to adopt a technology that keeps improving”, he said. In his eyes, facial recognition hits are just one part of an investigation.

【1】What is Orlando Ramos’ attitude towards facial recognition?

A．Hopeful.

B．Cautious.

C．Ambiguous.

D．Tolerant.

【2】What is one focus of the debates about facial recognition?

B．Speed limit.

C．Accuracy rate.

D．Steadiness control.

【3】What does Rick Smith think of facial recognition?

A．It appears to cause prejudice.

B．It brings about privacy concerns.

C．Its technology is reliable.

D．Its accuracy needs improving.

【4】What can we learn from the passage?

A．Facial recognition tool meets with resistance.

B．All the people disapprove of facial recognition.

C．Facial recognition is the only tool of investigation.

D．Governments should ban facial recognition.

28、Everybody loves a fat pay rise. Yet pleasure at your own can disappear if you learn that a colleague has been given a bigger one. Indeed, if he has a reputation for lazy, you might even be angry. Such behaviour is regarded as “all too human,” with the underlying assumption that other animals would not be capable of this finely developed sense of resentment (不满). But a study by Sarah Brosnan and Franks de Waal of Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia, which has just been published in Nature, suggests that it is all too monkey, as well.

The researchers studied the behaviour of female brown capuchin monkeys. They look cute. They are good-natured, co-operative creatures, and they share their food readily. Above all, like their female human counterparts, they tend to pay much closer attention to the value of “goods and services” than males.

Such characteristics make them perfect candidates for Dr. Brosnan’s and Dr. de Waal’s study. The researchers spent two years teaching their monkeys to exchange tokens(代币) for food. Normally, the monkeys were happy enough to exchange pieces of rock for slices of cucumber. However, when two monkeys were placed in separate but connected rooms, so that each could observe what the other was getting in return for its rock, their behaviour became markedly different.

In the world of capuchins, grapes are luxury goods (and much preferable to cucumbers). So when one monkey was handed a grape in exchange for her token, the second was reluctant to hand hers over for a mere piece of cucumber. And if one received a grape without having to provide her token in exchange at all, the other either threw her own token at the researcher or out of the room, or refused to accept the slice of cucumber. Indeed, the mere presence of a grape in the other chamber (without an actual monkey to eat it) was enough to inspire resentment in a female capuchin.

The researchers suggest that capuchin monkeys, tike humans, are guided by social emotions. In the wild, they are a co-operative, group-living species. Such cooperation is likely to be stable only when each animal feels it is not being cheated. Feelings of righteous anger, it seems, are not the preserve of people alone. Refusing a lesser reward completely makes these feelings abundantly clear to other members of the group. However, whether such a sense of fairness evolves independently in capuchins and humans, or whether it stems from the common ancestor that the species had 35 million years ago, is, as yet, an unanswered question.

【1】In the opening paragraph, the author introduces his topic by____.

A．making a comparison

B．making an assumption

C．giving a conclusion

D．explaining a phenomenon

【2】The statement “it is all too monkey” (Last line, Paragraph 1) implies that____.

A．anger towards unfairness is also monkey’s nature

B．monkeys arc also angered by lazy rivals

C．monkeys, like humans, tend to be jealous of each other

D．no animals other than monkeys can develop such emotions

【3】Dr. Brosnan and Dr. de Waal have eventually found in their study that the monkeys____.

A．prefer grapes to cucumbers

B．will not be co-operative if feeling cheated

C．can be taught to exchange things

D．are unhappy when separated from others

【4】What can we infer from the last paragraph?

A．Monkeys can be trained to develop social emotions.

B．Cooperation among monkeys remains stable only in the wild.

C．Animals usually show their feelings openly as humans do.

D．How a sense of fairness in humans evolves is uncertain.

31、A few years ago, I was working in a small office. I noticed that even though the size of the organization was not huge, we often worked in our different teams.

One particular week, I decided I wanted to make people smile but I wanted to do it 【1】 (secret). So one evening I wrote up some quotes that had inspired me over the years. The next morning, I went to work early and 【2】 (张贴) them up by the sinks and mirrors in the office restrooms. Maybe someone else would enjoy the quotes 【3】 (如同我一样) I had. And perhaps it 【4】 (may) just freshen their day.

For the next few months, some of the quotes 【5】 (take) down. But I noticed that a couple remained. Eventually, I finished out my contact 【6】 that organization, but I’d still often get emails from my former boss and teammates.

A few months ago, I was invited to reunion with my 【7】 (同事) . 【8】 I no longer worked in this office, I had really enjoyed 【9】 (work) with my team and was happy to see them again. Towards the end of the event, I went to the bathroom and found a quote that I 【10】 (write) two and half years earlier was still up in the same spot by the mirror. It reads: “The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new lands, but seeing with new eyes” ——Marcle Proust.
