26、Since 1960, considerable scientific researches have been done on chimps in their natural habitats. Scientists have found out that the social behaviors of chimps are very different from humans’. Chimps just cooperate in certain ways. But beyond the minimum requirements as social beings, they have little instinct (本能) to help one another. Chimps in the wild seek food for themselves. Even chimp mothers regularly refuse to share food with their children.

In the laboratory, chimps don’t naturally share food either. If a chimp is put in a cage where he can reach one plate full of food for himself or, with no greater effort, a plate that provides food for a neighbour in the next cage, he will pull casually—he just doesn’t care whether his neighbour gets fed or not. Chimps are truly selfish.

Human children, on the other hand, are extremely cooperative. The psychologist Michael Tomasello has studied this cooperation in a series of experiments with very young children. He finds that if babies aged 18 months see a worried adult with hands full trying to open a door, almost all will immediately try to help.

There are several reasons to believe that the urges to help, inform and share are not taught, but naturally possessed in young children. One is that these instincts appear at a very young age before most parents have started to train their children to behave socially. Another is that the helping behaviors are not improved if the children are rewarded. A third reason is that social intelligence develops in children before their general cognitive (认知的) skills, at least when compared with chimps. In tests conducted by Tomasello, the human children did no better than the chimps on the physical world tests but were considerably better at understanding the social world.

The central part of what children’s minds have and chimps’ don’t is what Tomasello calls shared intentionality. Part of this ability is that they can infer what others know or are thinking. But beyond that, even very young children want to be part of a shared purpose.

【1】What can be known about chimps from the first paragraph?

A．They behave identically as humans do.

B．They don’t care about others a lot.

C．They are willing to share food.

D．They are social animals as humans.

【2】Why did Tomasello conduct experiments with young children?

A．To link his studies with home schooling.

B．To teach those babies how to be cooperative.

C．To show worried parents how to raise babies.

D．To better understand humans’ instinct to cooperate.

【3】What can we infer about young children from the text?

A．They did better than chimps in physical tests.

B．They are born with the urges to help and share.

C．Their ability to know the social world is as good as chimps’.

D．Their helping behaviors will be improved if they are rewarded.

【4】Which can be a suitable title for the text?

A．Chimps’ Outstanding Social Behaviors

B．Chimps: Mankind’s Closest Living Relatives

C．Difference Between Humans and Chimps

D．Close Connection Between Humans and Chimps

27、The mall(购物商场)is increasingly the exception. Dozens nationwide have fallen into disuse in the past decade, and a quarter of the around 1,100 -that remain are projected to follow by 2022, leaving large areas of empty space.

“We built too many malls, and we built them too cheaply,” said Amanda Nicholson, a professor at Syracuse University. “Only the strong will survive, while the weaker ones fold.”

After losing three of its four anchor(主力)department stores, the country’s oldest shopping mall was in need of new life. Southdale Center in Edina, Minnesota, is getting it this month in the form of a Life Time “resort(度假胜地),” complete with a rooftop pool and beach club. The new gym—which also has a full-service spa—will take the place of a former J. C. Penney store. Life Time is spending $43 million building the three-story facility.

“Malls have become a great opportunity for growth,” said Parham Javaheri, president of Life Time. “They have great visibility, great access and many of them have been around for a long time, so they’re located at the center of offices and homes.”

Fitness centers and gyms now lease(租用)three times as much space in US shopping malls 12 as they did a decade ago. Chains such as Planet Fitness, SoulCycle and Life Time have become coveted because they draw a lot of rich members who stop in a few times a week. Life Time now has country club-like locations at malls around the country and plans to open more than 30 more mall gyms in the coming years. Each gym attracts about 3,000 people a day, Javaheri said, which amounts to “a lot of consumers”.

Other cities have been even more creative with empty mall space. Simon Property Group, the country’s largest mall owner, recently spent $5 million on Allied Esports and announced plans to create 200 mall gaming rooms for competitive video gaming events across the country. “We believe focusing on gameplay will drive traffic and excitement for our properties,” said Lee Sterling, a senior vice president at Simon.

【1】What can we infer from Paragraph 1?

A．Malls are dying in the US.

B．Shoppers have changed in the US.

C．Shops mean a lot to most US families.

D．More malls will be built by 2022 in the US.

【2】What is Southdale Center trying to do now?

A．It is changing into a gym.

B．It is expanding its anchor shops.

C．It is taking over America’s oldest store.

D．It is spending millions reinventing itself.

【3】What does the underlined word “coveted” in Paragraph 5 mean?

A．Independent.

B．Traditional.

C．Attractive.

D．Similar.

【4】Which of the following can best describe Sterling’s attitude to Simon’s gaming plan?

A．Doubtful.

B．Favorable.

C．Objective.

D．Unconcerned.

29、阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

A

It is quite unusual to know who contributes most to the first Oxford English Dictionary. In 1879, Oxford University in England asked Prof. James Murray to serve as editor for what was to be the most ambitious dictionary in the history of the English language. It would include every English word possible and would give not only the definition but also the history of the word and quotations (引文)showing how it was used.

This was a huge task. So Murray had to find volunteers from Britain, the United States, and the British colonies to search every newspaper, magazine, and book ever written in English. Hundreds of volunteers responded, including William Chester Minor. Dr. Minor was an American Surgeon who had served in the Civil War and was now living in England. He gave his address as “Broadmoor, Crowthorne, Berkshire,” 50 miles from Oxford.

Minor joined the army of volunteers sending words and quotations to Murray. Over the next years, he became one of the staff’s most valued contributors.

But he was also a mystery. In spite of many invitations, he would always decline to visit Oxford. So in 1897， Murray finally decided to travel to Crowthorne himself. When he arrived, he found Minor locked in a book-lined cell at the Broadmoor Asylum for the criminally insane.

Murray and Minor became friends, sharing their love of words. Minor continued contributing to the dictionary, sending in more than 10,000 submissions in 20 years. Murray continued to visit Minor regularly, sometimes taking walks with him around the asylum grounds.

In 1910, Minor left Broadmoor for an asylum in his native America. Murray was at the port to wave goodbye to his remarkable friend.

Minor died in 1920, seven years before the first edition of the Oxford English Dictionary was completed. The 12 volumes defined 414,825 words, and thousands of them were contributions from a very scholarly and devoted asylum patient.

【1】 According to the text, the first Oxford English Dictionary _________.

A. came out before Minor died

B. was intended to be the most ambitious English dictionary

C. included the English words invented by Murray

D. was edited by an American volunteer

【2】 Which of the following best describe Dr. Minor?

A. Brave and determined   B. Cautious and friendly

C. Considerate and optimistic   D. Unusual and scholarly

【3】What does the text mainly talk about?

A. The history of the English language.

B. The friendship between Murray and Minor.

C. Minor and the first Oxford English Dictionary.

D. Broadmoor Asylum and its patients.
