instinct（本 能）to help one another.Chimps in the wild seekfood for themselves.Even chimp mothers regularly decline to share food withtheir children.Who are able from a young age to gather their own food.In the laboratory,chimps don,t naturally share food either.If a chimp is putin a cage where he can pull in one plate of food for himself or,with no greateffort,a plate that also provides food for a neighbor to the next cage,hewill pull at random-he just doesn,t care whether his neighbor gets fed ornot.Chimps are truly selfish.Human children,on the other hand are extremely corporative.From the earliestages,they decide to help others,to share information and to participate aachieving common goals.The psychologist Michael Tomasello has studied thiscooperativeness in a series of expensive with very young children.He findsthat if babies aged 18 months see an worried adult with hands full trying toopen a door,almost all will immediately try to help.There are several reasons to believe that the urges to help,inform and shareare not taught.but naturally possessed in young children.One is that theseinstincts appear at a very young age before most parents have started to trainchildren to behave socially.Another is that the helping behaviors are notimproved if the children are rewarded.A third reason is that socialintelligence.Develops in children before their general cognitive（认 知 的）skills,at least when compared with chimps.In tests conducted by Tomtasell,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 children s minds have and chimps don,t in what Tomasellocalls what.Part of this ability is that they can infer what others know or arethinking.But that,even very young children want to be part of a sharedpurpose.They actively seek to be part of a“we”,a group that intends towork toward a shared goal.58.What can we learn from the experiment with chimps?A.Chimps seldom care about othersJ 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.59.Michael Tomasello s tests on young children indicate that theyA.have the instinct to help othersB.know how to offer help to adultsC.know the world better than chimpsD.trust adults with their hands ful160.The passage is mainly about _.A.the helping behaviors of young childrenB.ways to train children,s shared intentionalityC.cooperation as a distinctive human natureD.the development of intelligence in children材 料 CEl Nifio,a Spanish term for“the Christ child”,was named by South Americanfisherman sho noticed that the global weather pattern,which happens every twoto seven years,reduced the amount of fishes caught around Christmas.El Nifiosees warm water,collected over several years in the western Pacific,flow backeastwards when winds that normally blow westwards weaken,or sometimes theother way round.The weather effects both good and bad,are felt in many places.Rich countriesgain more from powerful Nifio,on balance,than they lose.A study found that astrong Nifio in 1997 helped American s economy grow by 15 billion,partlybecause of better agricultural harvest,farmers in the Midwest gained fromextra rain.The total rise in agricultural in rich countries in growth than thefall in poor ones.But in Indonesia extremely dry forests are in flames.A multi-year drought（干 旱）in south-east Brazil is becoming worse.Though heavy rains brought about byEl Nino may relieve the drought in California,they are likely to cause surfaceflooding and other disasters.The most recent powerful Nino,in 1997-98,killed around 21,000 people andcaused damage worth$36 billion around the globe.But such Ninos come withmonths of warning,and so much is known about how they happen that governmentscan prepare.According to the Overseas Development Institute（ODI）,however,just 12%of disaster-relief funding in the past two decades has gone onreducing risks in advance,rather than recovery and rebuilding afterwards.Thisis despite evidence that a dollar spent on risk-reduction saves at least two onreconstruction.Simple improvements to infrastructure（基 石 出 设 施）can reduce the spread ofdisease.Better sewers（下 水 道）make it less likely that heavy rain is followedby an outbreak of the disease of bad stomach.Stronger bridges mean villagesare less likely to be left without food and medicine after floods.According toa paper in 2011 by Mr Hsiang and co-authors,civil conflict is related to ElNino,s harmful effects-and the poorer the country,the stronger the link.Though the relationship may not be causal,helping divided communities toprepare for disasters would at least reduce the risk that those disasters arefollowed by killing and wounding people.Since the poorest are least likely tomake up for their losses from disasters linked to El Nino,reducing theirlosses needs to be the priority.61.What can we learn about El Nino in Paragraph 1?A.It is named after a South American fisherman.B.It takes place almost every year all over the world.C.It forces fishermen to stop catching fish around Christmas.D.It sees the changes of water flow direction in the ocean.62.What may El Ninos bring about to the countries affected?A.Agricultural harvests in rich countries fall.B.Droughts become more harmful than floods.C.Rich countries gains are greater than their losses.D.Poor countries suffer less from droughts economically.63.The data provided by ODI in Paragraph 4 suggest thatA.more investment should go to risk reductionB.governments of poor countries need more aidC.victims of El Nino deserve more compensationD.recovery and reconstruction should come first64.What is the author?s purpose in writing the passage?A.To introduce El Nino and its origin.B.To explain the consequences of El Nino.C.To show ways of fighting against El Nino.D.To urge people to prepare for El Nino.材 料 DNot so long ago,most people didn,t know who Shelly Ann Francis Pryce wasgoing to become.She was just an average high school athlete.There was everyindication that she was just another American teenager without much of a future.However,one person wants to change this.Stephen Francis observed theneighteen-year-old Shelly Ann as a track meet and was convinced that he had seenthe beginning of true greatness.Her time were not exactly impressive,but evenso,he seemed there was something trying to get out,something the othercoaches had overlooked when they had assessed her and found her lacking.Hedecided to offer Shelly Ann a place in his very strict training seasons.Theircooperation quickly produced results,and a few year later at Jamaicay sOlympic games in early 2008,Shelly Ann,who at that time only ranked number 70in the world,beat Jamaica s unchallenged queen of the sprint（短 跑）.aWhere did she come from?”asked an astonished sprinting world,beforeconcluding that she must be one of those one-hit wonders that spring up fromtime to time,only to disappear again without signs.But Shelly Ann was toprove that she was anything but a one-hit wonder.At the Beijing Olympic sheswept away any doubts about her ability to perform consistently by becoming thefirst Jamaican woman ever to win the 100 meters Olympic gold.She did it againone year on at the World Championship in Briton,becoming world champion with atime of 10.73 the fourth record ever.Shelly-Ann is a little woman with a big smile.She has a mental toughness thatdid not come about by chance.Her journey to becoming the fastest woman onearth has been anything but smooth and effortless.She grew up in one ofJamaica s toughest inner-city communities known as Waterhouse,where she livedin a one-room apartment,sleeping four in a bed with her mother and twobrothers.Waterhouse,one of the poorest communities in Jamaica,is a reallyviolent and overpopulated place.Several of She11y-Anns friends and familywere caught up in the killings;one of her cousins was shot dead only a fewstreets away from where she lived.Sometimes her family didn t have enough toeat.She ran at the school championships barefooted because she couldn tafford shoes.Her mother Maxime,one of a family of fourteen,had been anathlete herself as a young girl but,like so many other girls in Waterhouse,had to stop after she had her first baby.Maxime s early entry into the adultworld with its responsibilities gave her the determination to ensure that herkids would not end up in Waterhouses roundabout of poverty.One of the
