cooperate in certain ways，like gathering in war parties to protect their territory.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 decline to share food with their children, who are able from a young age to gather their own food.in the laboratory， chimps dont naturally share food either.if a chimp is put in a cage where he can pull in one plate of food for himself or， with no greater effort， a plate that also provides food for a neighbor in the next cage， he will pull at randomhe just doesnt care whether his neighbor gets food or not.chimps are truly selfish.human children， on the other hand,are naturally coroperative.from the earliest ages， they desire to help others， to share information and to participate in achieving common goals.the psychologist michael tomasello has studied this cooperativeness in a series of experiments with very young children.he finds that if babies aged 18 months see an unrelated 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 core of what childrens minds have and chimps dont 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.they actively seek to be part of a “we”， a group that intends to work toward a shared goal.语篇导读科学家经过实验发现：与黑猩猩相比，合作是人类与生俱来的一种独有的本能。21.what can we learn from the experiment with chimps?a.chimps seldom care about others interests.b.chimps tend to provide food for their children.c.chimps like to take in their neighbors food.d.chimps naturally share food with each other.解析：a 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“they have little instinct(本能)to help one another”和下文的实验可知，黑猩猩很少关心别的黑猩猩，只顾自己。因此选项a正确。22.michael tomasellos tests on young children indicate that they_.a.have the instinct to help othersb.know how to offer help to adultsc.know the world better than chimpsd.trust adults with their hands full解析：a 细节理解题。根据第三段首句和下文对于实验结果的描述可知，帮助别人是儿童的本能，因此选择a。23.the passage is mainly about_ .a.the helping behaviors of young childrenb.ways to train childrens shared intentionalityc.cooperation as a distinctive human natured.the development of intelligence in children解析：c 主旨大意题。文章前两段说明了黑猩猩的自私，第三段作者话锋一转，提出了本文要说明的中心：human children,on the other hand,are naturally cooperative。因此选项c正确。for many people，leisure time is an opportunity to get outdoors，have some fun and meet interesting people.add two pieces of advanced 21st century technologyglobal positioning system (gps) devices and the internetto get “geocaching”.the word “geocaching” comes from “geo” (earth) and “cache” (hidden storage).geocachers log on to a website to find information about the location of a cacheusually a waterproof plastic box containing small items such as toys and cdsalong with a notebook where “finders” can enter comments and learn about the cache “owner”， the person who created and hid the cache.finders may take any of the items in the cache but are expected to replace them with something of similar value.they then visit the website again and write a message to the owner.geocaching became possible on may 1， 2000， when a satellite system developed by the u.s.department of defense was made public.using an inexpensive gps device， anyone on earth can send a signal to the satellites and receive information about their position.this is basically a hightech version of orienteering， the traditional pastime which uses maps and compasses instead of gps to determine ones location.geocachers are a very considerate group.owners carefully choose a caches location to give finders an enjoyable experience，such as a beautiful view or a good campsite.they also consider the environmental impact of their cache since it could result in an increased number of visitors to an area.as for the content of the caches， owners and finders must only use items that are suitable for the whole family， as caches are found by geocachers of all ages.语篇导读本文介绍了21世纪户外娱乐的新模式：地理藏宝。24.according to the passage， geocaching is_ .a.an outdoor leisure activity b.a new type of technologyc.a game used to teach geographyd.a program to protect environment解析：a 推理判断题。根据第一段的“leisure time is an opportunity to get outdoors”“add two pieces of advanced 21st century technologyto getgeocaching”可推知，geocaching是一种户外娱乐方式。25.how can finders learn about the cache owners?a.by meeting them.b.by going to a website.c.from the notebook.d.from the satellite.解析：c 细节理解题。根据第二段第二句可知，搜寻的人可以从笔记本里了解所有者的信息。26.which of the following is not used in geocaching?a.a gps device. b.a compass.c.a plastic container. d.the internet.解析：b 细节理解题。根据第三段的最后一句可知，传统的娱乐方式用地图和指南针而不是现代先进的gps找位置，因此地理藏宝不会用到指南针。27.which of the following is true according to the passage?a.most geocachers are adults.b.any item can be placed in the caches.c.the caches should be put in a remote place.d.geocachers try to avoid damaging the environment.解析：d 推理判断题。根据最后一段的第三句可推知，参与地理藏宝的人会尽量避免破坏环境。i was born and raised in england in a culture where privacy and “keeping yourself to yourself”were valued traditions.speaking to strangers was not encouraged.people were most hospitable(好客的) and friendlybut only once they had been introduced to new people.however，i have been lucky enough to spend some time in both italy and the us，where i found traditions of hospitality and politeness to be very different.i experienced italian hospitality firsthand on a crowded railway carriage travelling， one afternoon， from genoa to florence.sinking gratefully into an empty seat， i was berated(训斥) in rapid italian by a gentleman who was returning to this seatit had not been “spare” after all.i apologized in english， and got up to allow him back into the seat.the gentleman obviously had no understanding of the english language，but he，too，realized my genuine mistake.he smiled and gestured for me to remain in the seat，and he himself remained standing in the corridor for the remainder of the journey.the other occupants of the carriage smiled and nodded at me and made me feel quite welcome amongst them.i feel that if this had been in england， a foreigner who made a mistake would not always be so kindly treated.transport also featured in the differences i noticed between english and american culture.i flew to new york on a plane with mainly english passengers.we sat together in near silence.nobody spoke to me nor， as i expected， to anyone else they did not know.they felt it was not polite to intrude on someone elses privacy.however， when i travelled across the united states，whether by plane or greyhound bus，i was never short of conversation.conversation was going on all around me and whoever sat next to me was happy to introduce themselves and ask me about myself.they obviously felt it would have been rude not to speak to another person， whether they were strangers or not.语篇导读本文作者通过自己的旅行经历说明了不同文化中人们对于“好客”和“礼貌”的表达方式不一样。28.what do we know about the occupants of the carriage when the author was travelling in italy?a.they all laughed at the author for his mistake.b.they were all on the side of the gentleman.c.they would not bear a mistake like the authors in public.d.they all showed their understanding of the authors mistake.解析：d 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“but he,too,realized my genuine mistake.he smiledthe other occupants of the carriage smiled and nodded at me and made me feel quite welcome amongst them”可知，车厢里其他的人都对作者点头微笑，说明他们理解作者的错误。故选d。29.the author finally believes the italian people are_.a.cold b.rudec.hospitable d.helpful解析：c 推理判断题。根据第三段第一句的“i experienced italian hospitality”以及本段内容可推知，意大利人热情友好。故选c。30.according to the last paragraph，english passengers sat in near silence because_.a.they were all strangers to each otherb.they were too tired to speakc.privacy was a valued tradition in englandd.everybody had their own share of privacy解析：c 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“we sat together in near silence.nobody spoke to me nor,as i expected,to anyone else they did not know.they felt it was not polite to intrude on someone elses privacy”可知，英国乘客几乎都不说话，因为他们国家的传统认为干涉别人的隐私是不礼貌的。故选c。31.the purpose of the author is to tell us_.a.his travelling experienceb.cultural differences to show hospitality and politenessc.the culture shock he experienced
