21、   If I scratch your back and you scratch mine, then we're both better off as a result — so goes the principle of reciprocity. As humans, we are familiar with the concept. But do animals also help those who help them? The answer may be yes. A paper by Dolivo and Taborsky shows that Norway rats will only give as good as they get.

In their laboratory, Dolivo and Taborsky first trained rats to pull on a stick that drew a food item within reach of a rat in a neighboring cage separated from them by wire mesh (钢丝网).

They then introduced a further treatment in which an experimental rat was placed in a cage with other caged rats on either side. On one side the rat pulled a stick that provided pieces of carrot to the rat in the central cage, while the other pulled a stick that produced banana pieces.

In the following trials the focal rat (the one in the central cage) had the opportunity to repay the other rats using the same stick tool to deliver food items.

Now, the rats had typically turned their noses up at the carrot and showed a strong preference for the more desirable banana. On the basis that the banana-providing rat should therefore be remembered as the superior partner, the authors predicted that in the test phase (阶段) the focal rat would more readily provide help for banana-offering rats than for carrot-offering rats. This proved to be the case: the rats that had provided better help in the past received greater rewards - it seemed that they were behaving reciprocally.

Dolivo and Taborsky's experiments show that rats can recall the quality of help provided and by which rat, and adjust their behavior so as to invest more time and energy in helping those that helped them. It is apparent that we shouldn't undervalue the ability of animals to engage in reciprocity.

【1】What does the underlined word 'reciprocit' in Paragraph 1 probably refer to?

A.The act of being kind to other people. B.A cooperative exchange of favors.

C.A positive attitude to everything. D.The quality of being generous.

【2】What would happen if a rat pulled the stick according to the text?

A.It would find some food in its own cage.

B.Other rats would be able to enter its cage.

C.Another rat in another cage would get food.

D.It would be able to enter a neighboring cage.

【3】Which got more benefit from the focal rat in the experiments?

A.The rats that preferred carrot pieces.

B.The rats that preferred banana pieces.

C.The rats that had provided carrot pieces.

D.The rats that had provided banana pieces.

【4】Which of the following might Dolivo and Taborsky agree with?

A.Some animals may return others' help.

B.Norway rats have very poor memories.

C.It is hard to explain the ability of animals.

D.Rats behavior is very uncommon.

22、For the first time, a rat has won a British aid group’s top award for animal bravery. The animal is being honored for its work searching out unexploded landmines (地雷) in Cambodia. The award winner is an African giant rat named Magawa.

The group, APOPO, which aims to help clear landmines left behind from wars and conflicts says that more than 60 million people in 59 countries continue to be threatened by landmines and unexploded weapons. In 2018, landmines and other remains of war killed or injured 6,897 people.

Magawa was trained by a Belgian organization that has been teaching rats to find landmines for more than 20 years, and he is the group’s most successful rat. Magawa has cleared more than 141,000 square meters of land over the past four years. Many animals including brave dogs, birds and cats can be trained to search things out with their noses and perform work for food. But the giant African rats were best equipped to help clear landmines because of their African roots and lifespan of up to eight years. The rats’ size permits them to walk across mine fields without setting off explosives. Magawa was from Tanzania, but is now based in the Cambodian city of Siem Reap. British charity PDSA gave its Gold Medal to Magawa for his lifesaving bravery and devotion to duty. He is the first rat to receive a PDSA medal in the 77-year history of the awards.

APOPO’s chief Christophe Cox said Magawa’s medal was a huge honor for the group's animal trainers. But also, it is big for the people in Cambodia, and all the people around the world who are suffering from landmines. He hopes the Gold Medal award can bring more worldwide attention to the problem of landmines.

【1】What can be learned from paragraph 2?

A．Landmines still threaten people’s life.

B．APOPO left many landmines in Africa.

C．Rats set off the most landmines in 59 countries.

D．Wars and conflicts are still threatening 59 countries.

【2】Where was Magawa born?

A．Britain.

B．Tanzania.

C．Belgium.

D．Cambodia.

【3】Why did British charity PDSA give Magawa the Gold Medal?

A．For his giant body.

B．For his long lifespan.

C．For his saving life.

D．For his twenty years’ training.

【4】What is Christophe Cox’s expectation?

A．To change people’s attitudes to rats.

B．To advertise the British charity PDSA.

C．To praise animal trainers around the world.

D．To arouse people’s attention to the remains of wars.

23、Losing weight comes with a lot of health benefits—including making your brain sharper.

There have been few studies of overweight and cognitive functioning, (认知功能) possibly because it is generally believed that it is not a primary risk cause for poor cognitive performance. Yet, it turns out that overweight may damage cognitive functions such as memory and attention. Losing weight, therefore, may help improve these mental functions, according to a new research led by John Gunstad, assistant professor of psychology at Kent State University.

Growing evidence suggests that being fat is linked to cognitive deficits (缺陷). So Gunstad and his team guessed that losing weight might improve mental function. For their study, they measured memory and attention in a group of 150 overweight participants, some of whom had some kind of operation for weight loss and some did not. All of the volunteers completed mental skills tests to assess their abilities of memory and attention at the beginning of the study, and again 12 weeks later. To begin with, about 24% of the patients showed damaged learning and 23% showed signs of poor memory when tested. At the end of the study, those who had lost weight after operation improved their scores into the average or above average range for cognitive functions. Scores for the volunteers who didn’t lose weight dropped even further.

The study helped Gunstad to find out whether losing weight had any effect on mental function. Now that he’s seen the positive effect that weight loss can have on memory and attention, he says he will next study those who choose to lose weight by the traditional way—eating healthier and getting more active. He expects that losing weight in this way will have a similarly positive effect on the brain. “If we can improve the condition with operations, then we can probably produce the same change with behavioral weight loss as well,” he says.

【1】There is less research on overweight and cognitive functions because researchers _____.

A. believe overweight only affects our body

B. have focused on ways to sharpen people’s mind

C. do not consider overweight a main cause for low cognitive ability

D. are clear about the relation between weight and mental functions

【2】The result of Gunstad’s study shows that ______.

A. losing weight has little effect on people’s memory

B. losing weight can improve people’s mental functions

C. overweight people are likely to have psychology problems

D. overweight people’s abilities of concentration differ greatly

【3】What is Gunstad planning to prove next in his research?

A. Overweight people will get smarter by taking more exercise.

B. Healthy diet is better than exercise in losing weight.

C. Traditional ways of losing weight are better than operation.

D. Slim people are smarter than overweight people.

【4】Which of the following is the best title for the text?

A. Body Weight and Health

B. Losing Weight by Operation

C. Ways to Improve Mental Functions

D. Losing Weight to Sharpen Your Mind

24、The starting point of herd immunity (群体免疫) for COVID-9 is still uncertain, but many epidemiologists (流行病学家) believe it will be reached when between 60 percent and 80 percent of the population has been infected and develops resistance. A lower level of immunity in the population can slow the spread of a disease somewhat, but the herd immunity number represents the point where infections are generally less likely to turn into large outbreaks.

Studies that use the tests to examine only a small quantity of population, often called serology (血清学) surveys, are being undertaken around America and the world. The purpose of these new studies is to look for antibodies (抗体) in people’s blood, proteins produced by the immune system that indicate a past infection.

An advantage of the tests is that they can pick out people who may have been infected and didn’t know they were sick. A disadvantage is that the tests are sometimes wrong — and several studies, including a notable one in California, have been criticized for not taking the possibility of inaccurate results into consideration or for not representing the whole population.

While these studies are far from perfect, many countries, including parts of Sweden, are on track to achieve so-called herd immunity from the novel coronavirus-caused COVID-19 disease within weeks. In general, they give a better sense of how far the coronavirus has truly spread and its potential for spreading further. The starting point of herd immunity may differ from place to place, depending on factors like density and social interaction.

【1】What do we know about herd immunity number from the text?

A．The higher level of it, the better.

B．The lower level of it, the worse.

C．It is a point indicating a small number of infections.

D．It is a point indicating little chance of large outbreaks.

【2】What kind of people can we get antibodies from?

A．People who are sick.

B．People who were once infected.

C．People who are always healthy.

D．People who were killed by the disease.

【3】What is the third paragraph mainly about?

A．The contents of the studies.

B．The procedure of the studies.

C．Two sides of the studies.

D．The results of the studies.

【4】Which of the following best describe the author’s attitude towards the studies?

A．Hopeful.

B．Supportive.

C．Critical.

D．Unbelievable.
