10、ern Mozambique(Africa) with my dad to help repair water wells(井)in local villages. I took my soccer ball along. I thought I might be able to play with the local kids. When we arrived at the village of Ntette, I threw out my ball and soon, 50 kids were playing .Many of these kids had never had the ch

11、ance to enjoy playing soccer with a real ball. For me, its no big deal to play soccer with a real ball. I do it all the time.Ive discovered that many kids in poor countries want to play soccer, but they cant because they dont have a ball. I have several soccer balls in my house. I thought that these

12、 kids would enjoy this soccer ball far more than me. So, I gave my ball to them.As we prepared to leave, one of the boys brought the soccer ball back to me. I said to him, “No, this is yours. I gave it to you.” He laughed and cheered! I loved seeing that they had a real ball to play with.Every kid w

13、ho loves the game of soccer deserves(值得)to play. Every kid who loves the game of soccer deserves his or her own ball. And thats why I started Charity Ball in 2010.

Yet pleasure at your own can vanish if you learn that a colleague has been giv

16、en a bigger one. Indeed, if he has a reputation for slacking, you might even be outraged. Such behaviour is regarded as “all too human,” with the underlying assumption that other animals would not be capable of this finely developed sense of grievance(不满,不平). But a study by Sarah Brosnan and Frans d

17、e Waal 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 behaviour of female brown capuchin monkeys. They look cute. They are good-natured, co-operative creatures, and they share their food readil

18、y. Above all, like their female human counterparts, they tend to pay much closer attention to the value of “goods and services” than males.Such characteristics make them perfect candidates for Dr. Brosnans and Dr. de Waals study. The researchers spent two years teaching their monkeys to exchange tok

19、ens for food. Normally, the monkeys were happy enough to exchange pieces of rock for slices of cucumber. However, when two monkeys were placed in separate but adjoining chambers, so that each could observe what the other was getting in return for its rock, their behaviour became markedly different.I

20、n the world of capuchins, grapes are luxury goods (and much preferable to cucumbers). So when one monkey was handed a grape in exchange for her token, the second was reluctant to hand hers over for a mere piece of cucumber. And if one received a grape without having to provide her token in exchange

21、at all, the other either tossed her own token at the researcher or out of the chamber, or refused to accept the slice of cucumber. Indeed, the mere presence of a grape in the other chamber(without an actual monkey to eat it) was enough to induce resentment(愤恨)in a female capuchin.The researchers sug

22、gest that capuchin monkeys, like humans, are guided by social emotions. In the wild, they are a co-operative, group-living species. Such cooperation is likely to be stable only when each animal feels it is not being cheated. Feelings of righteous indignation(愤慨), it seems, are not the preserve of pe

23、ople alone. Refusing a lesser reward completely makes these feelings abundantly clear to other members of the group. However, whether such a sense of fairness evolved independently in capuchins and humans, or whether it stems from the common ancestor that the species had 35 million years ago, is, as

24、 yet, an unanswered question.361、In the opening paragraph, the author introduces his topic by _.Amaking a comparisonBjustifying an assumptionCmaking a conclusionDexplaining a phenomenon1、The statement “it is all too monkey” (Last line, Paragraph I) implies that _.Aresenting unfairness is also monkey

25、s natureBmonkeys are also outraged by slack rivalsCmonkeys, like humans, tend to be jealous of each otherDno animals other than monkeys can develop such emotions2、Dr. Brosnan and Dr. de Waal have eventually found in their study that the monkeys _.Aprefer grapes to cucumbersBwill not be co-operative

26、if feeling cheatedCcan be taught to exchange thingsDare unhappy when separated from others3、What can we infer from the last paragraph?AMonkeys can be trained to develop social emotions.BCooperation among monkeys remains stable only in the wild.CAnimals usually show their feelings openly as humans do

27、.DHuman indignation evolved from an uncertain source.23（8分） If we look around us at the things we have purchased at some point in our lives, we would no doubt notice that not everything we own is being put to good use: the thick woolen coat which we thought looked trendy despite the fact that we liv

28、e in a tropical country. the smartphone that got put away when we bought ourselves the newest model, or even the guest room in our house that somehow got turned into a storeroom.Those underutilized(未充分使用的) items may seem useless to some, but could be of value to others. With the occurrence of the In

29、ternet, online communities have figured out a way to generate profit from the sharing of those underused property, Using websites and social media groups that facilitate the buying and selling of second-hand goods it is now easier than ever for peer-to-peer sharing activities to take place. And this

30、 is known as the sharing economy.These popular online platforms are providing a chance for people to make a quick fortune. To give an example, busy parents previously might not have bothered with setting up a stall at the local market to sell their childrens old equipment, but with online marketplac

31、es, parents are now able to sell on those hardly worn baby clothes that their children have outgrown so as to put some cash back into their pockets.Businesses have also caught on to the profitability of the sharing economy and are seeking to gain from making use of those underutilized resources. Com

32、panies like Airbnb act as a middleman for people to cash in on their unused rooms and houses and let them out as profitable accommodation. Another example is Uber, which encourages people to use their own personal cars as taxis to make some extra cash in their free time.This move towards a sharing e

33、conomy is not without criticisms. Unlike businesses, unregulated individuals do not have to follow certain regulations and this can lead to poorer and inconsistent quality of goods and services and a higher risk of fraud. Nevertheless, in the consumerist society we live in today, the increased oppor

34、tunities to sell on our unwanted and underused goods can lead to a lesser impact on our environment.1、Why can people now sell things more easily?APeople nowadays buy more things.BBusinesses want to buy the things they don t use.CThere are now more market stalls.DThere are now online platforms to do

35、business.2、Which of these is something that we might underutilize?AThick coat in a cold country.BClothes our babies don t or cant wear any more.CThe latest smartphone.DThe storeroom in our house.3、It might be a problem for unregulated individuals to sell to others because _.Awhat they sell might be

36、of a lower quality.Bthey have to follow certain regulations.Cthey dont have a business license.Dthey like to criticize their buyers.4、What might be a good title for this article?AThe consumerist societyBParents who need moneyCThe rise of the sharing economyDWhy we buy things we dont need24（8分）Matthe

45、est a glass of water in an hour,” says Omar Yaghi, a chemist at the University of California, Berkeley. “Thats about how much water a person needs a day to survive in the desert.”Although the current device is just a prototype (原型), the technology could be adopted to supply fresh water to the most r

46、emote regions of the globe, such as the Middle East and North Africa.Similar devices in previous attempts worked only below 50 percent relative humidity (湿度). They can extract water from the air even at low relative humidity. However, they either collect water too slowly or require lots of energy.Ho

47、wever, the new device, using a new special material, pulls water from air with as low as 20 percent relative humidity and successfully avoids both problems. Developed by MIT engineers from an existing material, the special material, called MOF-801, creates a network of very small pores (气孔) that can

48、 trap water vapor. At room temperature, water vapor collects in the pores. As temperatures rise, the water escapes into the box designed for water collection.When the device is left in the shade, the layer of MOF-801 collects water vapor from the air. When moved into direct sunlight, the layer heats

49、 up and the water vapor escapes into a box, which cools the vapor, making it into drinkable water. This entire process takes around two hours.Laboratory tests of the device harvested 2.8 liters of water per day. Therefore, the device could be used us a personal water source in dry regions, Yaghi say
