considered a list of the best american books here are five that helped define the national character. most from a century or so ago, they still entertain, teach, and inspire:moby dickby herman melvillefirst published in 1851, the adventure stories of captain ahab and his monomaniacal(偏执的) pursuit of the white whale draws us into a universe full of fascinating characters and stories.the education of henry adamsby henry adamsawarded the pulitzer prize in autobiography(自传) in 1918. adams provides insight into his family, including his experience as private secretary to his father, minister to england during the american civil war.leaves of grassby walt whitmanwhen whitman publishedleaves of grassin 1855, he wanted to define the american experiencesing of the new country in a new voice, reflecting the great changes in the american literary world that had taken place during his lifetime.poemsby emily dickinsonan enthusiastic poet whose works have had considerable influence on modern poetry, dickinsons frequent use of dashes, sporadic (零星的) capitalization of nouns, and unconventional metaphors have contributed to her reputation as one of the most innovative (创新的) poets of 19th-century american literature.the song of hiawathaby henry wadsworth longfellowfirst published in 1855, this is longfellows most popular and most recognized poem, the heroic life and death of a

whatever you say or do, your sibling (兄弟姐妹) copies you. believe it or not, this annoying behavior has a good purpose. by copying what grown-ups and older kids do, little brothers and sisters are learning important life skills. the strange thing is that human kids will copy everything, not just actions that have an obvious useful purpose. psychologists（心理学家）call this particular kind of imitation (模仿) overimitation.“its something that we know otherprimates(灵长目动物) dont do,” said mark nielsen, a psychologist at the university of queensland. a chimpanzee (黑猩猩) wont copy pointless actions. but a human child will. “humans seem to forget about the result and copy everything they see,” he added.nielsen wanted to find out if this human tendency（癖好）to copy even something silly applied to kids all over the world. most psychological studies are done with children from western cultures where adults spend a lot of time teaching their kids and encouraging them to copy, but not all cultures do this. nielsen worked with groups of kids from australia and a community in south africa. an adult showed how to open a box in a strange or complicated (复杂的) way.to nielsens surprise, all of the kids copied the strange step, even kids whod had a chance to play with the box first and figure it out on their own. “i wasgobsmacked,” nielsen said. overimitation is a worldwide, universal human character, and one that may be the reason for our complex（多元的）cultures. because humans focus on the specific way things get done rather than the result, we can develop cultural traditions with no clear result, such as shaking hands.next time your sibling copies everything you say, you can tell him, “go ahead. keep up the overimitation. its good for the development of your cultural mind.” maybe hell be so confused and hell leave you alone!67. what does mark nielsen think of chimpanzees copying?a. its friendly. b. it has a purpose.c. its meaningless. d. it focuses on fun.68. mark nielsen made an experiment with a box to .a. see whether copying is in all childrens natureb. teach kids how to open a box in different waysc. explain why adults should encourage kids to copyd. show peoples attitude to copying in different cultures69. the underlined word “gobsmacked” in the fourth paragraph probably means .a. moved b. amazed c. annoyed d. disappointed70. the author thinks that through overimitation, human beings .a. learn important life skillsb. pay more attention to the resultc. have developed complex culturesd.have developed more scientific methods第卷（满分45分）第四部分
