You probably pat them on the back or shoulder , or maybe you give them a big , warm hug .We used to think that knowing when and how to comfort others was an ability that only humans have . But scientists have discovered that apes（猩猩）have this ability , too , according to a study published in the Journal of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences .Two researchers from Emory University in Atlanta , US , went to an Ape Protection Centre in Congo to study bonobos（倭黑猩猩）, which are closely related to humans .The researchers analyzed the bonobos reactions after more than 370 cases of stressful situations , such as fights and losing temper , and found that some bonobos rushed to hug those that were screaming after being attacked , just like humans would have done .However , researchers noted that not all bonobos were capable of comforting others . In the protection centre , many bonobos are orphans whose mothers were killed by hunters . They were found to be more anxious in times of tension and to have greater difficulty controlling their own emotions , making them worse at reaching out to help friends in need .“ Orphans , who have not had the benefit of a mother helping them handling their emotions , are much worse at comforting others , ” Professor Frans de Waal , one of the researchers , told The Telegraph . “ Bonobos with moms were able to curb their negative emotional reactions more quickly . Therefore , they pay more attention to others . ”This pattern mirrors the way that human children have been found to react . Those who seem more capable of handling their own emotions for example , the ones who can calm themselves down more quickly after upsetting experiences are usually better at expressing their concerns for others .25. The 4th paragraph is mainly developed by _ .A. presenting causes and effects B. following time orderC. giving examples D. making comparisons 26. The underlined word “ curb ” in the 5th paragraph probably means “_ ” .A. express B. observeC. control D. hide27. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage ?A.

The ability to comfort others is unique to human beings .28. Whats the main purpose of this passage ?A. To inform readers of a new study . B. To provide better protection for Apes. C. To uncover the mystery of Apes. D. To compare human behaviors with Apes .CIf you can read a clock, you can know the time of the day. But no one knows what time itself is. One way to think about time is to imagine a world without time. But there could be no movement, because time and movement cannot be separated. In early human history, the only changes that seemed to repeat themselves evenly（有规律地）were the movements of objects in the sky. The most easily seen result of these movements was the difference between light and darkness. The sun rises in the eastern sky, producing light. It moves across the sky and sinks in the west, causing darkness. The appearance and disappearance of the sun was even and unfailing. The periods of light and darkness it created were the first accepted periods of time. We have named each period of light and darkness one day. People saw the sun rise higher in the sky during the summer than in winter. They counted the days that passed from the suns highest position until it returned to that position. They counted 365 days. We now know that is the time Earth takes to move once around the sun. We call this period of time a year.They also developed a way to use the changing faces of the moon to tell time. The moon was “full” when its face was bright and round. The early humans counted the number of times the sun appeared between full moons. They learned that this number always remained the same about 29 suns. We now know this period of time as one month.Early humans hunted animals and gathered wild plants. They moved in groups or tribes from place to place in search of food. Then, people learned to plant seeds and grow crops. As hunters, people did not need a way to measure time. As farmers, however, they had to plant crops in time to harvest them before winter. They had to know when the seasons would change. So, they developed calendars.No one knows when the first calendar was developed. But it seems possible that it was based on moons, or lunar months.29. The underlined word “unfailing” (in para. 2) is closest in meaning to “_”. A. reliable B. everlasting C. limited D. changing 30. Why did people invent the first calendar to measure time? A. Because early humans hunted animals and gathered wild plants. B. Because early people had to plant crops and grow crops. C. Because early farmers had to grow and harvest crops in time. D. Because early humans moved in groups or tribes from place to place.31. Which of the following is true? A. Why early people developed calendars is not clear. B. How early people counted a day is still unknown. C. What early people based the first calendar on is mysterious. D. When the calendar was developed remains unknown.32. It can be concluded from the text that _. A. the period of twenty-nine suns is called one month B. the light and darkness differences of the sun were the only movements in the sky C. time and movement are loosely related even at present days D. early humans first accepted periods of time created by the moonD Every year, thousands of new high school graduates pack their bags, move to new cities, and sign papers accepting loans, the money borrowed from a bank or lenders etc, which they might not be able to pay back. Without proper education on personal finance, especially as it relates to paying for college, young adults are guided into improper loan plans that result in years of debt after graduation. In order to set students up to succeed financially, it is important to educate students and parents on their financial options before school in the fall. The best way to support families heading for college is to require that every high school student take a personal finance class before graduation. This will help smooth the transition into adulthood. The average student takes out at least one loan to cover the costs of their education each year. In 2014 the average student graduating from college carried a negative balance of about $20,000 in debt, which often spread over multiple lenders. Upon graduation, students rarely know exactly how much money they owe, and even though they are in the state of being unable to pay their debts, they cannot wipe out student loans. These students spend much of their adult lives paying off the gradual increasing debts. A personal finance course would teach students how to manage their income and expenditures, while helping to significantly reduce the amount of debt students carry into adulthood. By teaching students how to save money and live within their means, this course will provide the next generation with a foundation to progress financially. Students choosing to get a job straight out of high school would also benefit from finance education for these very reasons. With education on how to manage their finances, all young people will have the knowledge to make healthy decisions, leading them to improve good credit and purchase needed items like cars and homes with skill and confidence. While not every young person makes financial mistakes, those who do can face years of difficulty trying to get their finances back under control. Rather than help them through these hard times when they happen, we should try to prevent them from happening at all. Making the completion of personal finance coursework a requirement for graduation would ensure that young people are at least aware of the basics of preserving a financial stability.33. What is the third paragraph mainly about?A. Ways to improve financial credits.B. Advantages of taking a finance course.C. Skills of balancing income and expenditures.D. Introduction to the education on personal finance.34. Having financial knowledge, high school students are probably able to _.A. smooth their way for collegeB. get out of their financial trapC. avoid the risk of the future financial trouble D. free from the cost of their college education35. The main purpose of the passage is to_.A. inform and explainB. discuss and examineC. research and analyze D. argue and persuade 第二节 （共 5 小题，每小题 2 分，满分 10 分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。 Here are some things that you should do in your everyday life to improve your happiness.
