Yet pleasure at your own can vanish if y

19、ou learn that a colleague has been given a bigger one. Indeed, if he has a reputation for slacking, you might even be outraged. 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 grievance(不滿,不平). Bu

20、t a study by Sarah Brosnan and Frans 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 creat

21、ures, 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. Brosnans and Dr. de Waals study. The researchers spent two years

22、teaching their monkeys to exchange tokens 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 adjoining chambers, so that each could observe what the other was getting in return for its rock, their

23、 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 ha

24、ving to provide her token in exchange at all, the other either tossed her own token at the researcher or out of the chamber, 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 induce resentment(憤恨)in

25、 a female capuchin.The researchers suggest that capuchin monkeys, like 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 indignation(憤慨)

26、, 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 evolved independently in capuchins and humans, or whether it stems from the common ancestor that the sp

27、ecies had 35 million years ago, is, as yet, an unanswered question.361、In the opening paragraph, the author introduces his topic by _.Amaking a comparisonBjustifying an assumptionCmaking a conclusionDexplaining a phenomenon1、The statement “it is all too monkey” (Last line, Paragraph I) implies that

28、_.Aresenting unfairness is also monkeys natureBmonkeys are also outraged by slack rivalsCmonkeys, like humans, tend to be jealous of each otherDno animals other than monkeys can develop such emotions2、Dr. Brosnan and Dr. de Waal have eventually found in their study that the monkeys _.Aprefer grapes

29、to cucumbersBwill not be co-operative if feeling cheatedCcan be taught to exchange thingsDare unhappy when separated from others3、What can we infer from the last paragraph?AMonkeys can be trained to develop social emotions.BCooperation among monkeys remains stable only in the wild.CAnimals usually s

30、how their feelings openly as humans do.DHuman indignation evolved from an uncertain source.23（8分） The other morning on the subway I sat next to an attractive young blonde woman who was reading something on her iPad. She was very well-dressed, carrying a Prada bag with tastefully applied make-up inde

31、ed, she had an unmistakable air of wealth, material success and even authority. I suspected she worked as a highly-paid Wall Street lawyer or stockbroker or something of that sort. So, I was curious to see what she was so focused on. The Wall Street Journal perhaps? The Economist?Quite the contrary;

32、 rather, she was concentrating on a romance novel. Then I realized that I have known many women who love romance novelssmart, attractive, successful, “l(fā)iberated,” modern females who nonetheless find some kind of deep satisfaction and thrill from those hyper-romantic, artificial and extremely unreali

33、stic tales of handsome, manly heroes falling in love with virginal women, enduring a series of adventures, then no doubt having a happy ending.These romance stories are to literature what hot dogs are to fine food. Yet, the genre(體裁) remains enormously popular. Consider some of these surprising stat

34、istics from the good folks at the Romance Writers of America (RWA):*More than 9,000 romance titles were released last year, with sales of about $1.44 billion (more than triple the taxes produced by classic literary fiction).*More than 90 percent of the market are women (okay, thats not at all surpri

35、sing).* Readers are typically women between the ages 30 and 54 who are themselves involved in a romantic relationship (betraying the stereotype that only lonely women long for these tales of love and adventure).*Almost 40 percent of romance book consumers have an annual income of between $50,000 and

36、 $99,900 (placing them firmly in the middle class).I had thought that romance novels accounted for a very small share of the literary market, so I was quite surprised that this part has such enormous popularity. But I must wonder why so many womenforty years after the womens liberation movementconti

37、nue to enjoy themselves in the fanciful tales?Im not sure if it represents a kind of “rejection” of the womens liberation movement, but clearly something is missing in the lives of contemporary ladies. A romance author named Donna Hatch who focuses on the Regency period (early 19th century Britain)

38、explained the appeal of such books this way: “Regency men were civilized and treated women with courtesy. When a lady entered the room, gentlemen stood, doffed their hats, offered an arm, bowed, and a hundred other little things I wish men still did today. But they were also very athletic; they hunt

39、ed, raced, boxed, rode horses. They were manly. Strong. Noble. Honorable. And that is why I love them!”Mrs. Hatch may have expressed the secret desires and attitudes of untold millions of her peersthat is, in the early 21st century, have women grown tired of the burdens and expectations that the “fr

40、eedoms” they have gained give them? Is this a rejection of modern feminism? Do women long for days of old when men were masculine gentlemen and women were feminine and protected as precious treasures and regarded as possessions?Perhaps most women (even the ones who get lost in romance novels) do not

41、 want to go all the way back but it is obvious,_.1、What is the function of the opening paragraph?ATo summarize the whole passage.BTo prove the authors argument.CTo lead in the main topic of the passage.DTo raise problems that will be solved later.2、What does the underlined sentence in the third para

42、graph imply?ARomance novels are satisfying and thrilling.BRomance novels are not of much “nutrition”.CRomance novels are as popular as hot dogs.DRomance novels are an essential part of contemporary life.3、In the authors opinion, what is missing in the lives of contemporary women?AAuthority.BDignity.

43、CLiberty.DCare.4、Which sentence can be put in the blank in the last paragraph?Athey prefer tales of innocent romance to classicsBthey are unhappy with how the world has turned outCtrue love described in romance novels does exist in realityDromance novels provide them with an access to society24（8分）

44、In spring, chickens start laying eggs again, bringing a welcome source of protein at winters end. So its no surprise that cultures around the world celebrate spring by honoring the egg.Some traditions are simple, like the red eggs that get baked into Greek Easter breads. Others upgrade the egg into

45、a fancy art, like the heavily jewel-covered “eggs” that were favored by the Russians starting in the 19th century.One ancient form of egg art is egg painting, which comes to us from Ukraine. For centuries, Ukrainians have been drawing complicated patterns on eggs. Contemporary artists have followed

46、this tradition and adapted the traditional methods to create eggs that speak to the anxieties of our age: Life is precious, and delicate. Eggs are, too.“Theres something about their delicate nature that crazily appeals to me,” says New Yorker cartoonist Roz Chast. Several years ago, she became inter

47、ested in egg painting and learned the traditional Ukrainian technique to draw her very modern characters. “Ive broken eggs at every stage of the process from the very beginning to the very, very end.”But theres an appeal in that vulnerability. “Theres part of this sickening horror that I kind of lik

48、e, the horror of knowing youre walking on the edge with this, knowing that it could all fall apart at any second.” Chasts designs, such as a worried man alone in a tiny boat, reflect that delicateness.Traditional Ukrainian decorated eggs also spoke to those fears. The complex and detailed patterns w

49、ere believed to offer protection against evil.Egg painting art, dating back to 300 BC, was later absorbed into the Christian church. The old symbols, however, still survive. A decorated egg with a bird on it, given to a young married couple, is a wish for children. A decorated egg thrown into the fi

50、eld would be a wish for a good harvest.1、What do we learn about the decorated “eggs” in Russia?AThey are shaped like jewel cases.BThey are heavily painted in red.CThey are favored as a form of art.DThey are valued by the rich.2、Why have contemporary artists continued the tradition of egg painting?AB

51、ecause eggs serve as a symbol of the coming of spring.BBecause eggs provide a source of protein in winters end.CBecause eggs provide a unique surface to paint on.DBecause eggs reflect the anxieties of people today.3、Which of the following best explains “vulnerability” underlined in paragraph 5?ADeli

52、cateness.BTechnique.CFear.DAnxiety.4、What is the main idea of the text?AEgg painting art preserves traditional and popular symbols.BDifferent cultures have different ways of honoring the egg.CUkrainian egg painting art appeals to contemporary artists.DEgg painting art continues and develops in pace

53、with time.25（10分）Each year, the National Council of Teachers of English（NCTE）presents several awards to recognize outstanding books written for all age levels. Earlier this month at a book awards luncheon（午宴）held during their 107th Annual Convention，they announced the winner of the 2018 Charlotte Hu
