【題目】Stories of Animals Acting Just Like Humans

◆Monkeys do math

If monkeys manage the world, we might have stayed away from the recent banking hardship. In an experiment led by Keith Chen at Yale, monkeys showed an understanding of pricing and planning the money, as well as a wish to stay away from losses when required to buy food with money. Makes sense this one looks like it’s checking its stocks (股票) on a smart phone. Think that’s impressive?

◆Camel eats breakfast with people

The first time Joe ate with British farmers, he was uninvited. The four-year-old Bactrian camel stuck his head through their open kitchen window, and emptied a fruit bowl. Now the couple, who rent out reindeer, camels, goats, and other creatures for television shows, movies, and photo shoots, set a place at their table for the confident double-humped creature, where Joe eats grain food and his favorite: bananas on toast.

◆Marmots (土撥鼠) befriend a boy

A group of marmots in the Austrian Alps has made friends with eight-year-old Matteo Walch by chance, whose family vacations there in summer. Typically, they beat their tails, chatter, and whistle to warn other marmots of danger, but with Matteo, they behave much differently, allowing the boy to feed, pet, and even touch noses with them. “Watching them makes me feel a connection with nature,” says Matteo. How sweet!

【1】In what way do monkeys behave like humans according to the text?

A. In character.B. In intelligence.

C. In communication.D. In the way of lifestyle.

【2】Why do the British couple raise the animals?

A. To make money.

B. To have dinners with them.

C. To protect endangered animals.

D. To train them to act as humans.

【3】Why did Matteo Walch go to the Austrian Alps?

A. To warn marmots of danger.

B. To develop interest in nature.

C. To make friends with marmots.

D. To go on a holiday with his family.

【答案】

【1】B

【2】A

【3】D

【解析】

本文為記敘文。文章講述了幾個動物和人類行為相似的故事。

【1】推理判斷題。根據(jù)Monkeys do math部分的monkeys showed an understanding of pricing and planning the money, as well as a wish to stay away from losses when required to buy food with money（猴子們表現(xiàn)出了對定價和理財?shù)睦斫猓约霸谛枰缅X購買食物時避免損失的愿望）可推知，猴子在智力上表現(xiàn)得像人類。故B選項(xiàng)正確。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)Camel eats breakfast with people部分的Now the couple, who rent out reindeer, camels, goats, and other creatures for television shows, movies, and photo shoots（現(xiàn)在，這對夫婦把馴鹿、駱駝、山羊和其它動物出租出去用于電視節(jié)目、電影和攝影）可知，這對英國夫婦養(yǎng)這些動物是為了賺錢。故A選項(xiàng)正確。

【3】推理判斷題。根據(jù)Marmots (土撥鼠) befriend a boy部分的A group of marmots in the Austrian Alps has made friends with eight-year-old Matteo Walch by chance, whose family vacations there in summer.（奧地利阿爾卑斯山上的一群土撥鼠偶然結(jié)識了8歲的馬泰奧·瓦爾奇，瓦爾奇一家夏天都在那里度假）可推知，馬泰奧瓦爾奇去奧地利阿爾卑斯山是和家人一起去度假的。故D選項(xiàng)正確。

細(xì)節(jié)事實(shí)理解題主要考查考生對文章中某一些特定細(xì)節(jié)或文章的重要事實(shí)的理解能力。它一般包括直接理解題和語義理解題兩種。直接理解題的答案與原文直接掛鉤，從閱讀材料中可以找到。此外，在閱讀中可以使用定位法與跳讀法解決細(xì)節(jié)理解題。定位法即根據(jù)題干和選項(xiàng)所提供的信息直接從原文中找到相應(yīng)的句子(即定位)，然后進(jìn)行比較和分析(尤其要注意一些同義轉(zhuǎn)換)，從而找出正確答案。跳讀法即根據(jù)題干和選項(xiàng)所提供的信息跳讀原文，并找到相關(guān)的句子(有時可能是幾個句子)或段落，然后進(jìn)行分析和推理等，從而找出正確答案。

以本文第3小題為例，本題運(yùn)用定位法：我們根據(jù)題干Why did Matteo Walch go to the Austrian Alps?其關(guān)鍵詞是Matteo Walch，從而直接定位到Marmots (土撥鼠) befriend a boy部分的A group of marmots in the Austrian Alps has made friends with eight-year-old Matteo Walch by chance, whose family vacations there in summer.（奧地利阿爾卑斯山上的一群土撥鼠偶然結(jié)識了8歲的馬泰奧瓦爾奇，瓦爾奇一家夏天都在那里度假）可推知，馬泰奧瓦爾奇去奧地利阿爾卑斯山是和家人一起去度假的。故D選項(xiàng)正確。

【題目】請認(rèn)真閱讀下面短文，并根據(jù)所讀內(nèi)容在文章后表格中的空格里填上一個最恰當(dāng)?shù)脑~。

When we are born, we are unspoiled. As we grow, we develop many complexities due to many influences in our lives. During childhood, we are repeatedly discouraged, blamed, and in some cases, abused. As we grow older, we develop our own version of right and wrong. We create a world of our own.

Our brain collects and keeps all visual, auditory information from the moment we are born and to the smallest of the details. Apart from our brain having memory, cells in our body, in billions, have their own memory. In other words, our body store both physiological and psychological memories. We are complex emotional beings in nature compared to any other living animal.

Apparently, physical and psychological memories strongly influence our emotions! Interestingly, we can create, store, and release emotion like energy. Moreover, if we do not process our emotions properly and suppress them for a long time, they can find a way out violently and unexpectedly.

Unfortunately, we carry our guilt throughout our lives resulting in ever-increasing burden on our shoulders. We become heavy with guilt and anger for things we could or did not achieve, for things we cannot have, to cite few examples. Evidently, everyone carries his or her own sack of guilt and anger.

One must question our nature of accumulating and carrying our guilt and anger until the end. Both guilt and anger are useless for us. They give us no advantage. Therefore, one may ask: is there a way to put down the sack from our weary shoulders? It is possible, indeed. Importantly, since our guilt and anger inside us are neither addressed nor given attention to, they are stored. Actually, we should process and address our emotions in order to remove them from our system. We cannot just wish them away.

In fact, by acknowledging their presence and providing a channel for them to disappear, we can remove our emotions gradually. Taking drugs, consuming alcohol only worsens the situation. They only provide temporary comfort and relief. Is there a better way to unload our burden Luckily, we have natural gift to process our feeling and emotions. Forgiveness stands first of all other natural remedies (療法).

Indeed, there is no better way than forgiving ourselves. Not withstanding, we should learn to readily forgive others. When we learn to forgive ourselves, we also naturally forgive others.

In summary, there is no benefit carrying our years of emotional baggage. By forgiving, we can throw away the emotional baggage we carry for years, if not decades, and it can lead to positive ones. Forgive your past mistakes. The moment you start forgiving, you feel a lot lighter and years of heaviness lifted magically! To your surprise, you start feeling a lot more energetic and optimistic in your daily life.
