Yet pleasure at your own can vanish if you learn that a colleague has been given a bigger one. I

11、ndeed, 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 de Waal of Emory Un

12、iversity 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 readily. Above all, like

13、 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 tokens for food. Norm

14、ally, 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.In the world of cap

15、uchins, 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 at all, the other

16、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 suggest that capuchin

17、 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 people alone. Refusi

18、ng 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 yet, an unanswere

19、d question.388、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 monkeys natureBmonkeys a

20、re 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 if feeling cheated

21、Ccan 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.DHuman indignatio

22、n evolved from an uncertain source.22（8分） Measles(麻疹) is only found in human beings. There is a highly effective and safe vaccine(疫苗) for the disease. So, in theory, measles could be destroyed.Yet the number of measles cases is on the rise.The World Health Organization (WHO) reports that, in the fir

23、st three months of 2019, the number of cases is three times higher than it was last year. Africa alone has had a 700 percent increase compared to last year.The Democratic Republic of Congo reported 67,000 measles cases and 901 measles-related deaths in 2018. This year, WHO officials have noted more

24、than 40,000 suspected measles cases in the country. That number includes 284 measles-related deaths in the first weeks of 2019. Between September 2018 and February 2019, Madagascar reported over 67,000 measles cases, including 828 deaths.Dr. Fauci, who directs the National Institute of Allergy and I

25、nfectious Disease in the USA, said thatone in 10 children who get infected with measles will get an ear infection that could cause deafness. One in 20 would get pneumonia. One in a thousand would get brain swelling, and one to three per thousand would die. To say that measles is a slight disease is

26、completely incorrect.Walter Orenstein is with the Emory University Vaccine Center in Atlanta, Georgia. He has spent his life working to end measles. Orenstein says possible effects of the disease are worse in poor countries. In those countries children are already at greater risk. They may be malnou

27、rished(营养不良的). They may have damaged immune systems. They may be underweight and may have no access to health care so measles is a big killer, he said.You have a 90 percent chance of getting measles if you have not been vaccinated and you come in contact with someone who has it. Dr. Rebecca Martin i

28、s the Director of the Center for Global Health at theU.S. Centers for Disease Control. She is working to remove measles from Africa completely. It is very infectious. It will find nearly everybody who is not protected against measles, Martin said.Health experts advise patients to get two treatments

29、of the measles vaccine. U.S. health officials say educating parents about both the disease and the vaccine is an important step in stopping the spread. Equally important is making vaccination a top goal of health systems worldwide.1、The writer shows the sharp increase in measles cases by .Agiving ex

Perhaps you would watch an original performance of a Shakespeares play in Elizabethan England? What about hanging out with Laozi in the Spring an

42、d Autumn Period? Or maybe youd voyage far ahead of the present day to see what the future holds.The possibility of time travel is indeed appealing. Stories exploring the subject have been around for hundreds of years. Perhaps the best known example is science fiction novel. The Time Machine, which w

43、as written by H.G. Wells and published in 1895 for the first time. It was adapted into at least two feature films of the same name, as well as two television versions, and a large number of comic book adaptations. It is generally credited with the popularization of the concept of time travel using a

44、 vehicle that allows an operator to travel purposefully and selectively. The term time machine, coined by Wells, is now universally used to refer to a vehicle transporting people into the far future.But could time travel actually be possible? Some scientists say yes, in theory. They propose using cr

45、acks in time and space called “wormholes”, which could be used as shortcuts to other periods. Einsteins theory of relativity allows time travel in extreme circumstances. And British physicist Stephen Hawking says you could travel into the future with a really fast spaceship going at nearly the speed

46、 of light. Though building such a spaceship would of course be no simple task.Even if you could travel into the past, there is something called the “grandfather paradox”. It asks what would happen if a time traveler were to go back in time and have his own grandfather killed for some reason, and the

47、refore prevent himself from being born. If the time traveler wasnt born, how would he travel back in time?And would you really like to visit the future? In H.G.
