Thats the conclusion of a recent study from South

11、Africas southern coast.There, in a cave lying above the sea, researchers from Arizona State University have found evidence that humans were behaving in surprisingly complex ways as early as 124,000 years ago. Our species, Homo sapiens, appeared an estimated 200,000 years ago.The cave held three impo

12、rtant clues about the behavior of these Stone Age people.First, the researchers found the remains of all kinds of shellfish. The people who lived in the cave probably collected these creatures from rocky shores and tide pools and brought them to the cave to eat.The researchers propose the early Afri

13、cans moved to the South African coast between 191,000 and 130,000 years ago. Around that time, the climate inland turned relatively cold and dry. Therefore, there were fewer plants and animals to eat away from the coast.When these ancient people moved to the coast, they probably experienced a major

14、cultural shift, the researchers suspect. Thats because observations of modern hunter-gatherer societies suggest that men are more likely to hunt for big animals when people live inland. On the coast, women play a more important role in providing food by gathering plants and shellfish.As for the seco

15、nd clue, the researchers unearthed 13 pieces of reddish pigment(颜料). The researchers think that the cave habitants used the paint for coloring their bodies or for other ceremonies. Symbolic behavior is a clearly human feature.Finally, the search discovered over 1,400 stone tools, including well-craf

16、ted blades(刀片). These blades came in various sizes. The smallest were just less than a half-inch wide. Ancient people may have attached these blades to the end of a stick to make spears or other tools.1、Why did the early Africans move to the south African coast according to the text?ATo avoid cold a

19、haviors development22（8分） Parents tend to favour children of one sex in certain situations or so evolutionary biologists tell us. A new study used colored backpack sales data to show that parental wealth may influence spending on sons different from daughters.In 1973 biologist Robert Trivers and com

20、puter scientist Dan Willard published a paper suggesting that parents invest(投入)more resources, such as food and effort, in male children when times are good, and in female children when times are bad. According to the Trivers-Willard hypothesis(假说), a son given lots of resources can become a gentle

21、man but parents with few resources tend to invest them in daughters, who generally find it easier to be a fair maiden.Studying parental investment after birth is difficult, however. The new study looked for a standard of measurement of such investment that met several criteria: it shouldnt be affect

22、ed by sex differences in the need for resources; it should measure investment rather than outcomes; and it should be objective.Study author Shige Song, a sociologist at Queens College, City University of New York, examined spending on pink and blue backpacks purchased in China in 2015 from a large r

23、etailer, JDcom. He narrowed the data to about 5, 000 bags: blue backpacks bought by families known to have at least one boy and pink ones bought by families known to have at least one girl. The results showed that wealthier families spent more on blue than pink backpacks suggesting greater investmen

24、t in sons. Poorer families spent more on pink packs than blue ones. The findings were published in Evolution and Human Behavior.Songs evidence for the Trivers-Willard hypothesis is “indirect” but “pretty convincing,” says Rosemary Hopcroft, a sociologist at the. University of North Carolina at Charl

25、otte, who was not connected with the new study. Hopcroft reported in 2016 that U. S. fathers with high-status occupations were more likely to send their sons to private school than their daughters, while fathers with lower-status jobs more often enrolled their female children. Although the new study

26、 does not prove the families were buying the blue backpacks for boys and pink ones for girls, Hopcroft notes that “its a clever and interesting paper, and its a rather unusual use of big data.”1、What does the writer intend to do in Paragraph 2?AIntroduce an earlier study.BIdentify childrens needs.CA

27、ssess the influence of a study.DExplore into parental investment.2、What offers a challenge for the new study?AThe investment meeting several criteria.BThe measurement of eventual outcomes.CDifferent demands for resources between sexes.DConsistent standards in measuring parental investment.3、What can

28、 be learned from Songs research?AThe new study was done in 2015.BBig data was sampled for research.CPreference was offered to consumers.DBlue packs were favored over pink ones.4、Which of the following is likely to match Hopcrofts remark on Songs research?AIts entertaining.BIts well-designed.CIts unb

29、elievable.DIts unusual.23（8分） With child behavior, there is almost much more than it meets the eye. Because it occurs at so many different levels, child behavior that seems simple at one level can often be much more complex and meaningful at another.For instance, a little childs pattern of getting i

30、nto cupboards, drawers and closed rooms, even after being told not to, is easily considered as bad behavior. When viewed at that level, the pattern is unacceptable and could lead to punishment. But it can be viewed at a more complex and meaningful level, namely child exploration. If a child regularl

31、y experiences an angry parent who seems determined to prevent any exploratory activities, the child will decide to continue to achieve future discoveries. When parents view this behavior as born out of natural curiosity rather than simple opposition, they are more likely to accept and appropriately

32、monitor it. Although it may lead to warning responses to ensure the childs safety, it is less likely to lead to punishment.There are countless other examples. Holding a goldfish outside its bowl is foolish at one level but also can be seen as a young childs attempt to express physical affection for

33、a pet. Spending time with friends rather than family is selfish at one level but also indicates a teens need for independence.The point here is that child behavior is often exhibited in simple forms that can appear to be oppositional, selfish or generally unacceptable if viewed only at that basic le

34、vel. However, when viewed at a more meaningful level, the same apparently simple behavior can be seen as something larger and potentially more adaptive. This doesnt mean the behavior should be ignored, especially if it is inappropriate. But looking at the bigger picture of a childs behavior, adults

35、might gain a fuller understanding of what theyre dealing with, which can create more flexibility in how they respond.1、According to Paragraph 1, we can know that child behavior _.Ais very changeableBis inacceptableCoccurs at different levelsDis fully understood by adults2、The example in Paragraph 2

36、mainly shows that _.Aparents should properly punish child behaviorBparents should keep childrens safety in mindCchildrens behavior shows their interestsDthere are different attitudes to child behavior3、What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 most probably mean?AThe child will insist on doin

37、g things with determination.BThe child will have to make frequent decisions.CThe child will make new discoveries in the future.DThe child will develop a strong sense of achievement.4、It can be inferred from Paragraph 3 that _.Achild behavior usually reflects a childs needBwhat a child does can mean

38、differently when seen from different aspectsCchildren tend to do something to show their dependence to their parentsDchildren spending time with friends show their selfishness5、What does the writer suggest parents should do with a childs behavior?AHave a positive attitude towards it.BIgnore the impr

39、oper behavior.CView it at the basic level.DWatch over it from head to foot.24（8分） While famous foreign architects are invited to lead the designs of landmark buildings in China such as the new CCTV tower and the National Center for the Performing Arts, many excellent Chinese architects are making gr

40、eat efforts to take the center stage.Their efforts have been proven fruitful. Wang Shu, a 49-year-old Chinese architect, won the 2012 Pritzker Architecture Prizewhich is often referred to as the Nobel Prize in architectureon February 28. He is the first Chinese citizen to win this award.Wang serves

41、as head of the Architecture Department at the China Academy of Art (CAA). His office is located at the Xiangshan campus of the university in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province. Many buildings on the campus are his original creations.The style of the campus is quite different from that of most Chinese unive

42、rsities. Many visitors were amazed by the complex architectural space and abundant building types. The curves(曲线) of the buildings perfectly match the rise and fall of hills, forming a unique view.Wang collected more than 7 million abandoned bricks of different ages. He asked the workers to use trad

43、itional techniques to make the bricks into walls, roofs and corridors. This creation attracted a lot of attention thanks to its mixture of modern and traditional Chinese elements.Wangs works show a deep understanding of modern architecture and a good knowledge of traditions. Through such a balance,

44、he had created a new type of Chinese architecture, said Tadao Ando, the winner of the 1995 Pritzker Prize.Wang believes traditions should not be sealed in glass boxes at museums. “That is only evidence that traditions once existed,” he said.“Many Chinese people have a misunderstanding of traditions.

45、 They think tradition means old things from the past. In fact, tradition also refers to the things that have been developing and that are still being created,” he said.“Today, many Chinese people are learning Western styles and theories rather than focusing on Chinese traditions. Many people tend to

46、 talk about traditions without knowing what they really are,” said Wang.The study of traditions should be combined with practice. Otherwise, the recreation of traditions would be artificial and empty, he said.1、What impressed visitors to the CAA Xiangshan campus most?AIts hilly environment.BIts larg

47、e size.CIts unique style.DIts diverse functions.2、What made Wangs architectural design a success?AThe mixture of different shapes.BThe balance of East and West.CThe use of popular techniques.DThe harmony of old and new.3、What should we do about Chinese traditions according to Wang?ASpread them to th

48、e world.BPreserve them at museums.CTeach them in universities.DRecreate them in practice.25（10分） Suppose you become a leader in an organization. Its very likely that youll want to have volunteers to help with the organizations activities. To do so, it should help to understand why people undertake v

49、olunteer work and what keeps their interest in the work.Lets begin with the question of why people volunteer. Researchers have identified several factors that motivate people to get involved. For example, people volunteer to express personal values related to unselfishness, to expand their range of

50、experiences, and to strengthen social relationships. If volunteer positions do not meet these needs, people may not wish to participate. To select volunteers, you may need to understand the motivations of the people you wish to attract.People also volunteer because they are required to do so. To inc

51、rease levels of community service, some schools have launched compulsory volunteer programs. Unfortunately, these programs can shift peoples wish of participation from an internal factor (e.g. “I volunteer because its important to me”) to an external factor (e.g. “I volunteer because Im required to

52、do so”). When that happens, people become less likely to volunteer in the future. People must be sensitive to this possibility when they make volunteer activities a must.Once people begin to volunteer, what leads them to remain in their positions over time? To answer this question, researchers have

53、conducted follow-up studies in which they track volunteers over time. For instance, one study followed 238 volunteers in Florida over a year. One of the most important factors that influenced their satisfaction as volunteers was the amount of suffering they experienced in their volunteer positions.

54、Although this result may not surprise you, it leads to important practical advice. The researchers note that attention should be given to “training methods that would prepare volunteers for troublesome situations or provide them with strategies for coping with the problem they do experience”.Another

55、 study of 302 volunteers at hospitals in Chicago focused on individual differences in the degree to which people view “volunteer” as an important social role. It was assumed that those people for whom the role of volunteer was most part of their personal identity would also be most likely to continu

56、e volunteer work. Participants indicated the degree to which the social role mattered by responding to statements such as “Volunteering in Hospital is an important part of who I am.” Consistent with the researchers expectations, they found a positive correlation(正相关) between the strength of role ide

57、ntity and the length of time people continued to volunteer. These results, once again, lead to concrete advice: “Once an individual begins volunteering, continued efforts might focus on developing a volunteer role identity.Items like T-shirts that allow volunteers to be recognized publicly for their

58、 contributions can help strengthen role identity”.1、People volunteer mainly out of _.Aacademic requirementsBsocial expectationsCfinancial rewardsDinternal needs2、What can we learn from the Florida study?AFollow-up studies should last for one year.BVolunteers should get mentally prepared.CStrategy tr

59、aining is a must in research.DVolunteers are provided with concrete advice.3、What is most likely to motivate volunteers to continue their work?AIndividual differences in role identity.BPublicly identifiable volunteer T-shirts.CRole identity as a volunteer.DPractical advice from researchers.4、What is

60、 the best title of the passage?AHow to Get People to VolunteerBHow to Study Volunteer BehaviorsCHow to Keep Volunteers InterestDHow to Organize Volunteer Activities第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节）第一节（每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项26（30分）阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该选
