Some baboons were given the chance to watch another baboon who already knew how to solve the task, while others had to learn for themselves. To work out how brave or anxious the baboons were, Dr. Carter presented them either with a novel food or a threat in the form of a model of a poisonous snake.She found that personality had a major impact on learning. The braver baboons learnt, but the shy ones did not learn the task although they watched the baboon perform the task of finding the novel food just as long as the brave ones did. In effect, despite being made aware of what to do, they were still too shy to do what the experienced baboon did.The same held true for anxious baboons compared with calm ones. The anxious individuals learnt the task by observing others while those who were relaxed did not, even though they spent more time watching.This mismatch between collecting social information and using it shows that personality plays a key role in social learning in animals, something that has previously been ignored in studies on how animals learn to do things. The findings are significant because they suggest that animals may perform poorly in cognitive (认知的 ) tasks not because they aren’t clever enough to solve them, but because they are too shy or nervous to use the social information.The findings may impact how we understand the formation of culture in societies through social learning. If some individuals are unable to get information from others because they don’t associate with the knowledgeable individuals, or they are too shy to use the information once they have it, information may not travel between all group members, preventing the formation of a culture based on social learning.5. What is the first paragraph mainly about?A. The design of Dr. Carter’s research.B. The results of Dr. Carter’s research.C. The purpose of Dr. Carter’s research.D. The significance of Dr. Carter’s research.6. According to the research, which baboons are more likely to complete a new learning task?A. Those that have more experience.B. Those that can avoid potential risks.C. Those that like to work independently.D. Those that feel anxious about learning.7. Which best illustrates the “mismatch” mentioned in Paragraph 4?A. Some baboons are intelligent but slow in learning.B. Some baboons are shy but active in social activities.C. Some baboons observe others but don’t follow them.D. Some baboons perform new tasks but don’t concentrate.8. Dr. Carter’s findings indicate that our culture might be formed through .A. storing informationB learning from each otherC. understanding different peopleD. travelling between social groupsCA culture's values can be mirrored by its humor.Humor has been evaluated by many great minds such as Thomas Hobbes,who,in"On Nature",disliked humor,"Laughter is nothing else but sudden glory arising from sudden thought of feeling far better than others."He thought humor to be a negative quality of human narrow-mindedness.However,Mordechai Gordon,PhD of Education,insists,"Humor allows us to view the world from an angle that is amusing rather than serious."I agree with Gordon.Learning to look at the world through humor is important.In the United States,every four years an election occurs.Without humor as a way to express their feelings,how would Americans be willing to support the election?Television shows like "The Daily Show" have become important parts of American culture.They are mothering the masses by unconsciously inputting politics into our mouths.They make politics fun.Of course, politics is only one type of humor.Social humor helps people through the twists and turns of the human condition.American pop culture promotes an unhealthy self image.On the topic of self-image,Hari Kondabolu stands out.He has a joke about the popular musical group "The Pussycat Dolls",describing their hit song "Don't Cha" as a negative representation of women.He points out an obvious offence in American culture.A study from Loyola University of Maryland has shown that humor is one determining factor for selecting a mating partner.Amongst other things,mates look for an outstanding funny bone in a potential partner.Of course,humor is not always used for good purposes.Humor can be linked to vulgarity（粗俗）and racism,but, like everything else,it has potential to unite human beings by allowing us to laugh at ourselves,our failures and our connection with one another.Though life may seem tough and depressing at timesall I have to do is look in the mirror at my increased wrinkles（皱纹）to know that there is a comedy out there that even Chaplin wasn't aware of.With that in mind,remember to laugh with humanity and sometimes at humanity.9. Hobbes believes that humor_______.A. resulted in narrow-mindedness of human beingsB. was only a way to laugh at others to make oneself feel betterC. had the power to mirror personal glory and national valuesD. was for people to view the world from another angle10. What is the author's attitude towards political humor?A Worried B. DisappointedC. Curious D. Appreciative11. The fourth paragraph is developed mainly______.A. by process B. by exampleC. by comparison D. by classification12. What can we learn from the last two paragraphs?A. Chaplin wasn't aware of being laughed atB. The author feels helpless and sad about getting olderC. Never be the one who laughs at other peopleD. The author is determined to face life with a sense of humor.DAll day long, litter builds up between brain cells.A study now finds that trash(垃圾)is washed away by fluids in the brain during sleep.That's potentially good news because such garbage(废物) includes a substance linked to Alzheimer's disease.Evidence of this brain washing emerged in a study on mice.But the finding gave researchers an idea of what may happen in the brains of sleeping people.A sleep researcher at the University of Wisconsin­Madison, Chiara Cirelli called the new finding “eye­opening and exciting”.Maiken Nedergaard is a neuroscientist.Her team had been studying a drainage process in the brain that acts like a sewer system(排水系统). What the scientists hadn't expected was to find that this system performs a different role during sleep than it does while animals are awake.As animals slept, fluids began flowing from the brain into the spaces between brain cells.These fluids washed away the junk that had built up while animals were awake.Other studies had shown that during waking hours, brain cells pump out bits of protein and other substances.The longer someone stays awake, the more litter builds up.That trash includes proteins that gather in the brains of people with Alzheimer's disease, which causes people to lose the ability to think, learn and remember.Once mice fell asleep, fluids flowed into their brains.“It was almost like you opened a tap”, Nedergaard said.As the fluid passed through the spaces between brain cells, it washed away the litter.The tap slowed to a trickle(涓流) when mice woke up.The scientists then looked closely at the brain cells.They found that the cells shrank during slumber(睡眠)—enough to open space through which the fluid can flow freely.When mice were awake, the cells swelled, lessening the fluid's flow.The newfound house­cleaning activity occurs in a part of the brain that few people study, noted scientist Houzel.“That space between brain cells is usually disregarded.It's considered just space, ”she said.The new discovery also may help scientists solve an age­old mystery：Why do animals sleep？Every animal does it.Without it, they die, although no one knows why.Some studies suggest that the brain solidifies memories during sleep.However, Nedergaard notes, “You don't die from forgetting what you learned yesterday.”13. According to the text, Maiken's discovery was________.A. a real surprise B. a natural resultC. a big reward D. a personal purpose14. When we are awake, ________.A. brain cells take in more proteinsB. litter of proteins build up in our brainsC. fluids in the brain continue flowingD. our brains have more fluids flow15. From what Houzel said, we know the space between brain cells________.A. is in fact a kind of spaceB. has ever been carefully studiedC. used to be regarded as unimportantD. is where litter is stored in the end第二节 根据短文内容, 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。____16____Have you heard statements like “If you love me, you would do this for me” or “You should be ashamed of yourself”？Statements like these are used by people to make you feel guilty because you have made a mistake and disappointed someone, or if someone wants a favor of you.Guilt is a destructive (毁灭性的) emotion that is a waste of time. ____17____ To overcome guilt from your life, use the following steps：Know the past can’t be changed.Whatever happened or whatever you did in the past, you can’t remove or change it by feeling guilty. If you cry and shout, you will not make the past different. It is better to concentrate on the present. ____18________19____If you hurt someone while not meaning it, apologize for what you have said or done and then forgive yourself. What happened in the past will teach you a lesson, so you won't repeat it again, but it is important to forgive yourself.Let the people you deal with know you are not easy to feel guilty.If your boss gives you a hard time because you don’t work overtime and starts saying that there is no money award for you to make you feel guilty, then you can say things like “That is perfectly fine. I will get the award next time.”____20____ Don’t deny guilt or run away from it. Analyze it and deal with it. No matter how much time you spend feeling guilty, you are not going to be able to change it.A. You have to face guilt to overcome it.B. Try to learn from your experience.C. Do something useful to improve your life and your future.D. Don't let anyone make you feel guilty.E. So you should learn to remove guilt.F. Someone has disappointed you.G. It is not important to apologize.第三部分 英语知识运用 （共两节, 满分45分）第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分, 满分30分）阅读下面短文, 从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C 和 D）中, 选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项, 并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。I became a gardener when I was twelve.
