used to think that knowing when and how to comfort others was an ability that only humans have . but scientists have discovered that apes（猩猩）have this ability , too , according to a study published in the journal of the proceedings of the national academy of sciences .two researchers from emory university in atlanta , us , went to an ape protection centre in congo to study bonobos（倭黑猩猩）, which are closely related to humans .the researchers analyzed the bonobos reactions after more than 370 cases of stressful situations , such as fights and losing temper , and found that some bonobos rushed to hug those that were screaming after being attacked , just like humans would have done .however , researchers noted hat not all bonobos were capable of comforting others . in the protection centre , many bonobos are orphans whose mothers were killed by hunters . they were found to be more anxious in times of tension and to have greater difficulty controlling their own emotions , making them worse at reaching out to help friends in need .“ orphans , who have not had the benefit of a mother helping them handling their emotions , are much worse at comforting others , ” professor frans de waal , one of the researchers , told the telegraph . “ bonobos with moms were able to curb their negative emotional reactions more quickly . therefore , they pay more attention to others . ”this pattern mirrors the way that human children have been found to react . those who seem more capable of handling their own emotions for example , the ones who can calm themselves down more quickly after upsetting experiences are usually better at expressing their concerns for others .24. the 4th paragraph is mainly developed by _ .a. making comparisons b. following time orderc. giving examples d. presenting causes and effects25. the underlined word “ curb ” in the 5th paragraph probably means “_ ” .a. express b. observec.hide d. control 26. which of the following statements is true according

others is unique to human beings .27. whats the main purpose of this passage ?a. to provide better protection for apes. b. to inform readers of a new study .c. to uncover the mystery of apes. d. to compare human behaviors with apes .ci dont ever want to talk about being a woman scientist again. there was a time in my life when people asked constantly for stories about what its like to work in a field dominated by men. i was never very good at telling those stories because truthfully i never found them interesting. what i do find interesting is the origin of the universe, the shape of space-time and the nature of black holes.at 19, when i began studying astrophysics, it did not bother me in the least to be the only woman in the classroom. but while earning my ph.d. at mit and then as a post-doctor doing space research, the issue started to bother me. my every achievementjobs, research papers, awardswas viewed through the lens of gender (性别) politics. so were my failures. sometimes, when i was pushed into an argument on left brain versus (相对于) right brain, or nature versus nurture (培育), i would instantly fight fiercely on my behalf and all womankind.then one day a few years ago, out of my mouth came a sentence that would eventually become my reply to any and all provocations(刺激): i dont talk about that anymore. it took me 10 years to get back the confidence i had at 19 and to realize that i didnt want to deal with gender issues. why should curing sexism be yet another terrible burden on every female scientist after all, i dont study sociology or political theory.i research and teach at barnard, a womens college in new york city. recently, someone asked me how many of the 45 students in my class were women. you cannot imagine my satisfaction at being able to answer, 45. i know some of my students worry how they will manage their scientific research and a desire for children. and i dont dismiss those concerns. still, i dont tell them “war” stories. instead, i have given them this: the visual of their physics professor heavily pregnant doing physics experiments. and in turn they have given me the image of 45 women driven by a love of science. and thats a sight worth talking about.28. why doesnt the author want to talk about being a woman scientist again？a. she feels unhappy working in male-dominated fields.b. she is not good at telling stories of the kind.c. she is fed up with the issue of gender discrimination.d. she finds space research more important.29. from paragraph 2, we can infer that people would say the authors failures were due to _.a. the burden she bears in a male-dominated society b. her involvement in gender politicsc. her over-confidence as a female astrophysicist d. the very fact that she is a woman 30. what did the author constantly fight against while doing her ph.d. and post-doctoral research？a. lack of confidence in succeeding in space science. b. peoples stereotyped(模式化的) attitude toward female scientists.c. unfair accusations from both inside and outside her circle.d. widespread misconceptions about nature and nurture.31. what does the image the author presents to her students suggest？a. women can balance a career in science and having a family.b. women have more barriers on their way to academic success.c. women students neednt have the concerns of her generation.d. women now have fewer problems pursuing a science career.dmy grandfather died more than twenty-five years ago. i was fifteen. he was kind, strong, fair, and very funny. when i was a young musician, he was my biggest fan. i played my violin for him when he visited, and he loved everything, but each time he had one request. “could you play amazing grace?” he asked, full of hope and with a twinkle in his eye, because he knew my answer was always, “i dont know that one!” we went through this routine at every major holiday, and i always figured id have time to learn it for him later.about the time i entered high school and started guitar, grandpa got cancer. the last time i saw him alive was thanksgiving weekend in 1985. my mom warned us that grandpa didnt look the same anymore and that we should prepare ourselves. for a moment i didnt recognize him. he looked so small among all the white sheets. we had all gathered in ohio for the holiday, and im sure we all knew we were there to say good-bye. i can see now that grandpa held on long enough to see us each one more time. i remember how we ate in the dining room and laughed and talked while grandpa rested in his hospital bed. i wonder if it was sad for him to be alone with our voices and laughter. knowing grandpa, he was probably content.the next morning i found my moment alone with him. i pulled out my guitar, tuned to his appreciative gaze, and finally played for him “amazing grace.” i had worked on it for weeks, knowing it never mattered whether i actually played it well and choosing not to believe as i played that it was my last concert for my biggest fan. the cancer had stolen his smile, but i saw joy in his eyes. he held my hand afterward, and i knew i had done something important.i argued with people all through college about my music major. i was told by strangers that music wouldnt make me any money and it wasnt useful like being a doctor. but i know firsthand that with music i was able to give my grandpa something at a point when no one else could. 32. at first the author didnt play amazing grace for grandpa because _.a. her grandfather was just joking. b. she found it difficult to playc. she disliked playing it. d.
