29、lieved that she had successfully taken a small first step toward overcoming whatSouth Koreans consider one of their biggest weaknesses in global competitiveness:the fear of speaking in English to westerners.Kim was among 300 junior high school students going through a weeklongtraining in this new En

30、glish Village.The complex looks like a mini-towntransplanted from a European country to this South Korean countryside.It has its ownimmigration office,city hall,bookstore,cafeteria,gym.a main street with Westernstorefronts,police officers and a live-in population of 160 native English speakers.Allsi

32、rency or red dots on their village passports.South Korea has become one of the most aggressive countries in Asia at teachingEnglish to its citizens.Outside the school system,parents are paying an estimated 10trillion won a year to help their children learn English at home or abroad.Nevertheless,many

33、 college graduates are afraid of chatting with native speakers.That,linguists say,is a result of a national school system that traditionally stresses readingand memorization of English grammar and vocabulary at the expense of conversation.In Korea University of Seoul,30 percent of all classes are no

34、w in English.Speaking English with a native accent has become a status symbol.56.What was Kim Hyo Jins problem?A.She spoke English with a Korean accent,B.She dared not talk with westerners in English.C.She was afraid of looking at the English teacher.D.She kept staying with her Korean classmates.57.

38、ard dependence of one species on another occurs with parasites,organisms that live on or in other living things and get nutrients directly from them.The parasitic way of life is widespread,A number of micro-organisms(includingviruses and bacteria)and an army of invertebrates(无脊椎动物)make their livings

39、directly at the expense of other creatures.In the face of this attack,living things haveevolved a variety of defense mechanisms for protecting their bodies from invasion byother organisms.Certain fungi(真菌)and even some kinds of bacteria release substances known asantibiotics into their external envi

40、ronment.These substances are capable of killing orpreventing the growth of various kinds of bacteria that also occupy the area,thuseliminating or reducing the competition for nutrients.The same principle is used indefense against invaders in other groups of organisms.For example,when attacked bydise

41、ase-causing fungi or bacteria,many kinds of plants produce chemicals that help tofight off the invaders.Members of the animal kingdom have developed a variety of defense mechanismsfor dealing with parasites.Although these mechanisms vary considerably,all majorgroups of animals are capable of detecti

42、ng and reacting to the presence of fdreigrTcells.In fact,throughout the animal kingdom,there is evidence that transplants ofcells or parts of tissues into an animal are accepted only if they come from closelyrelated individuals.The ability to distinguish between self and nonselF while present in all

43、 animals,is most efficient among vertebrates,which have developed an immune system as theirdefense mechanism.The immune system recognizes and takes action against foreigninvaders and transplanted tissues that are treated as foreign cells.6O.What does the passage mainly discuss?A.How organisms react

46、bout other creatures would be to ask ourselves how different species havedeveloped different kinds of minds to solve different adaptive problems.Surely theimportant question is not whether animals can do the same things humans can,buthow those animals solve the cognitive（认知的）problems they face,like

47、how toimitate the sea floor.Children and some animals are so interesting not because theyare smart like us,but because they are smart in ways we havent even considered.Sometimes studying childrens ways of knowing can cast light on adult-humancognition.Childrens pretend play may help us understand ou

48、r adult taste for fiction.De Waal s research provides another interesting example.We human beings tend tothink that our social relationships are rooted in our perceptions,beliefs,and desires,and our understanding of the perceptions,beliefs,and desires of others-whatpsychologists call our theory of m

49、ind”.In the 80s and 90s,developmentalpsychologists showed that preschoolers and even infants understand minds apart fromtheir own.But it was hard to show that other animals did the same.Theory of mind1became a candidate fbr the special,uniquely human trick.Yet de Waafs studies show that chimps（黑猩猩）p

50、ossess a remarkablydeveloped political intelligencethey are much interested in figuring out socialrelationships.It turns out,as de Waal describes,that chimps do infer something aboutwhat other chimps see.But experimental studies also suggest that this happens only ina competitive political context.T
