In tests conducted by Tomasello，the children did no better than the chimps on the physical world tests，but were considerably better at understanding the social worldThe cure of what childrens minds have and chimps dont in what Tomasello calls whatPart of this ability is that they can infer what others know or are thinkingBut that，even very young children want to be part of a shared purposeThey actively seek to be part of a “we”，a group that intends to work toward a shared goal21.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.22.Micheal Tomasellos tests on young children indicate that they _ A.have the instinct to help others. B.know how to offer help to adults.C.know the world better than chimps. D.trust adults with their hands full.23.The passage is mainly about _ A.the helping behaviors of young children. B.ways to train childrens shared intentionality.C.cooperation as a distinctive human nature. D.the development of intelligence in children. B Larry was on another of his underwater expeditions(探险) but this time, it was different. He decided to take his daughter along with him. She was only ten years old. This would be her first trip with her father on what he had always been famous for. Larry first began diving when he was his daughters age. Similarly, his father had taken him along on one of his expeditions. Since then, he had never looked back. Larry started out by renting diving suits from the small diving shop just along the shore. He had hated them. They were too big or too small. Then, there was the instructor. He gave him a short lesson before allowing him into the water with his father. He had made an exception. Larry would never have been able to go down without at least five hours of theory and another similar number of hours on practical lessons with a guide. Children his age were not even allowed to dive. After the first expedition, Larrys later diving adventures only got better and better. There was never a dull moment. In his black and blue suit and with an oxygen tank fastened on his back, Larry dived from boats into the middle of the ocean. Dangerous areas did not prevent him from continuing his search. Sometimes, he was limited to a cage underwater but that did not bother him. At least, he was still able to take photographs of the underwater creatures. Larrys first expedition without his father was in the Cayman Islands. There were numerous diving spots in the area and Larry was determined to visit all of them. Fortunately for him, a man offered to take him around the different spots for free. Larry did not even know what the time was, how many spots he dived into or how many photographs he had taken. The diving spots afforded such a wide array of fish and sea creatures that Larry saw more than thirty varieties of creatures.Larry looked at his daughter. She looked as excited as he had been when he was her age. He hoped she would be able to continue the family tradition. Already, she looked like she was much braver than had been then. This was the key to a successful underwater expedition.24.In what way was this expedition different for Larry?A.His daughter had grown up.B.He had become a famous diver.C.His father would dive with him. D.His daughter would dive with him.25.What can be inferred from Paragraph 2?A.Larry had some privileges. B.Larry liked the rented diving suits.C.Divers had to buy diving equipment. D.Ten-year-old children were permitted to dive.26.Why did Larry have to stay in a cage underwater sometimes?A.To protect himself from danger. B.To dive into the deep water.C.To admire the underwater view. D.To take photos more conveniently.27.What can be learned from the underlined sentence?A.Larry didnt wear a watch. B.Larry was not good at math.C.Larry had a poor memory. D.Larry enjoyed the adventure CDear Mayor (市长) Lewis, As we know, the city budget for next year does not include enough money to maintain the playing fields and skating rink (溜冰场) in Center Park. We are aware that the storms that hit Lyndon last summer caused a great amount of damage, and the citys budget should first be used to repair the high school, city hall, and airport. Dont you realize, however, what a loss the park will be? Center Park is the best place in the city for sports, picnics, concerts, walking, and enjoying nature. It plays a vital role in the education of our children. Each year science teachers bring their classes to the park on field trips to study plants and animals. Small children use the playground equipment every day. There are no other parks nearby for these kids to enjoy themselves. Every day I see the park on my way to school. It is absolutely necessary to support Center Park. The Lyndon High School Ice Skating Club would like to offer the city some help. We are suggesting a Skatathon. Our members would ask family, friends, and businesses for help, and then skate all day. For every mile skated, we would raise money to be used to maintain the fields and rink. Also, some of our members are willing to help the park staff do simple repairs at the rink. While it appears that the city can no longer afford Center Park, other facts tell us we have to maintain this park as a place for the entire Lyndon community. It is a green, refreshing place to go in the middle of the city. We hope our idea is the first of many good ideas to keep Center Park green and clean. Sincerely yours, Cara Johnson28.What happened to Center Park last summer?A.Lack of money made it almost closed. B.A lot of equipment there was missing.C.It was abandoned by local people. D.It was badly damaged in the storms.29.In the authors opinion, Center Park _.A.means a lot to those living in Lyndon B.should be open to the public for freeC.is too small for people to have fun D.is more important than the airport30.A Skatathon might be run to _.A.make skating more popular B.collect money to maintain Center ParkC.improve peoples healthD.encourage people to join the skating club31.Cara Johnson wrote the letter mainly to _.A.express thanks B.make an apologyC.make a suggestion D.send her congratulations D China is a land of bicycles. At least it was back in 1992 when I traveled the country. Back then everyone seemed to be riding a bicycle. Millions of them, all black. Cars were rare. Yet since my arrival in Beijing last year, Ive found the opposite is true. There are millions of cars. However, people still use their bicycles to get around. For many, its the easiest and cheapest way to travel today. Bicycles also come in different colors-silver, green, red, blue, yellow, whatever you want. Its fun watching people biking. They rush quickly through crossroads, move skillfully through traffic, and ride even on sidewalks. Bicycles allow people the freedom to move about that cars just cant provide. Eager to be part of this aspect of Chinese culture, I decided to buy a bicycle. Great weather accompanied（陪伴）my great buy. I immediately jumped up on my bicycle seat and started home. My first ride home was orderly (守秩序的). To be safe, I stayed with a “pack” of bikers while cars on the streets came running swiftly out of nowhere at times. I didnt want to get hit. So I took the ride carefully.Crossing the streets was the biggest problem. It was a lot like crossing a major highway back in the United States. The streets here were wide, so crossing took time, skill and a little bit of luck. I finally made it home. The feeling on the bicycle was amazing. The air hitting my face and going through my hair was wonderful. I was sitting on top of the world as I passed by places and people. Biking made me feel alive.32.According to the author, why are bicycles still popular in China today? A.Because they are convenient and inexpensive.B.Because they are traditional and safe.C.Because they are colorful and available.D.Because they are fast and environment friendly.33.The author decided to buy a bicycle because he intended_. A.to ride it for fun B.to use it for transportC.to experience local cultureD.to improve his riding skills34.How did the author feel about his street crossing? A.It was boring. B.It was wonderful.C.It was lively. D.It was difficult.35.Which of the following best describes the authors biking experience? A.The author enjoyed showing off his biking skills. B.The author took great pleasure in biking.C.The author was praised by the other bikers.D.The author was annoyed by the air while riding. 第2节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内， 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。 As we know, everyone can make mistakes, but dont worry about it.
