Culture Exchange参考答案13、BAD Blind imitation(模仿) is self-destruction. To those who do not recognize their unique worth,imitation appears attractive;to those who know their strength,imitation is unacceptable.In the early stages of skill or character development,imitation is helpful. When I first learned to cook,I used recipes(菜谱) and turned out some tasty dishes. But soon I grew bored. Why follow someone elses way of cooking when I could create my own?Imitating role models is like using training wheels on a childs bicycle;they help you get going,but once you find your own balance,you fly faster and farther without relying on them.In daily life,imitation can hurt us if we subconsciously(下意识地) hold poor role models. If,as a child,you observed people whose lives were bad,you may have accepted their fear and pain as normal and gone on to follow what they did. If you do not make strong choices for yourself,you will get the results of the weak choices of others.In the field of entertainment,our culture glorifies celebrities. Those stars look great on screen. But when they step off screen,their personal lives may be disastrous. If you are going to follow someone,focus on their talent,not their bad character or unacceptable behaviors.Blessed is the person willing to act on their sudden desire to create something unique. Think of the movies,books,teachers,and friends that have affected you most deeply. They touched you because their creations were motivated by inspiration,not desperation. The world is changed not by those who do what has been done before them,but by those who do what has been done inside them. Creative people have an endless resource of ideas. The problem a creator faces is not running out of material;it is what to do with all the material knocking at the door of imagination.Study your role models,accept the gifts they have given,and leave behind what does not serve you. Then you can say,“I stand on the shoulders of my ancestors tragedies and declare victory,and know that they are cheering me on.”1. Imitation proves useful when you.A. know you are uniqueB. lose the balance of lifeC. begin to learn something newD. get tired of routine practice2. To avoid the bad result of imitation,we should.A. forget daily fear and pain B. choose the right exampleC. ask others for decisions D. stay away from stars3. According to the author,the world moves on because of those who are.A. desperate to influence others with their knowledgeB. ready to turn their original ideas into realityC. eager to discover what their ancestors didD. willing to accept others ideas4. The trouble a creator faces is.A. the lack of strong motivationB. the absence of practical ideasC. how to search for more materialsD. how to use imagination creatively5. What is the authors purpose in writing this passage?A. To highlight the importance of creativity.B. To criticize the characters of role models.C. To compare imitation with creation.D. To explain the meaning of success.【参考答案】75.1-5 CBBDA 阅读理解-AEverybody is happy as his pay rises. Yet pleasure at your own can disappear if you learn that a fellow worker has been given a bigger one. Indeed, if he is known as being lazy, you might even be quite cross. Such behavior is regarded as “all too human”, with the underlying belief that other animals would not be able to have this finely developed sense of sadness. But a study by Sarah Brosnan 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 behaviors of some kind of female brown monkeys. They look smart. They are good-natured, co-operative creatures, and they share their food happily. Above all, like female human beings, they tend to pay much closer attention to the value of “goods and services” than males. Such characteristics make them perfect subjects for Doctor Brosnans study. The researchers spent two years teaching their monkeys to exchange tokens (奖券) for food. Normally, the monkeys were happy enough to exchange pieces of rock for pieces of cucumber. However, when two monkeys were placed in separate and connected rooms, so that each other could observe what the other is getting in return for its rock, they became quite different. In the world of monkeys，grapes are excellent goods (and much preferable to cucumbers). So when one monkey was handed a grape in exchange for her token, the second was not willing to hand hers over for a mere piece of cucumber. And if one received a grape without having to provide her token in exchange at all, the other either shook her own token at the researcher, or refused to accept the cucumber. Indeed, the mere presence of a grape in the other room (without an actual monkey to eat it) was enough to bring about dissatisfaction in a female monkey.The researches suggest that these monkeys, like humans, are guided by social senses. In the wild, they are co-operative and group-living. Such co-operation is likely to be firm only when each animal feels it is not being cheated. Feelings of anger when unfairly treated, it seems, are not the nature of human beings alone. Refusing a smaller reward completely makes these feelings clear to other animals of the group. However, whether such a sense of fairness developed independently in monkeys and humans, or whether it comes from the common roots that they had 35 million years ago, is, as yet, an unanswered question. 1. According to the passage, which of the following statements is true? A. Only monkeys and humans can have the sense of fairness in the world. B. Women will show more dissatisfaction than men when unfairly treated. C. In the wild, monkeys are never unhappy to share their food with each other.D. Monkeys can exchange cucumbers for grapes, for grapes are more attractive. 答案解析：答案为B。本题为推断题，考生需通读全文进行推断。本文讲述了当受到不公平待遇的时候，每个人都会生气，包括动物。但是雌性的动物比雄性的动物更加在意不公平的待遇，研究中用猴子作为实验来证明这一点。文章中第二段 “Above all, like female human beings, they tend to pay much closer attention to the value of “goods and services” than males.” 与第三段 “Such characteristics make them perfect subjects for Doctor Brosnans study.” 都有此表达，故答案为B “当受到不公平待遇的时候，女性比男性更加不满”。 从最后一段 “Refusing a smaller reward completely makes these feelings clear to other animals of the group. However, whether such a sense of fairness developed independently in monkeys and humans, or whether it comes from the common roots that they had 35 million years ago, is, as yet, an unanswered question.”中可知，independently (独立)对应A选项中的only，whetheroran unanswered question（是否或者未知的问题）的表达方式与A选项的意思 “只有猴子与人类才具有公平意识” 不同，故A选项是错误的。从第三段 “Normally, the monkeys were happy enough to exchange pieces of rock for pieces of cucumber. However, when two monkeys were placed in separate and connected rooms, so that each other could observe what the other is getting in return for its rock, they became quite different.”可知，猴子乐意用石块交换黄瓜，但是当看到另外一只猴子因为石块得到的回报，态度就不一样了。因此C选项 “猴子从不会不高兴彼此分享食物” 与该句意思不符。从第四段首句 “In the world of monkeys，grapes are excellent goods (and much preferable to cucumbers).” 中注意 “excellent (极好的)” 与 “ preferable(更好的)” 两词，与D选项 “for grapes are more attractive（更具有吸引力的）” 意思不一致。综上分析，A, C, D都不符合文章意思。2. The underlined statement “it is all too monkey” means that _. A. monkeys are also angry with lazy fellows B. feeling bitter at unfairness is also monkeys nature C. monkeys, like humans, tend to be envious of each other D. no animals other than monkeys can develop such feelings 答案解析：答案为B。本题为句意推断题。结合文章第一段中 “all too human”前面的内容是说当得知别人懒惰却加薪更多的时候，人人都会生气，这是人的本能。接下来提到的 “it is all too monkey” 也是表达 “猴子受到不公平待遇的时候感到痛苦也是猴子的本能。”的意思。故答案为B。A选项 “猴子对懒惰的同伴也会生气”, C选项 “猴子像人类一样会彼此嫉妒”, D选项 “除了猴子没有其他的动物会有那种感觉” 都与文章意思不符。3. Female monkeys of this kind are chosen for the research most probably because they are _ . A. more likely to weigh what they get B. attentive to researchers instructions C. nice in both appearance and behaviorsD. more ready to help others than their male companions 答案解析：答案为A。本题为细节推理题。从文
