Reading Comprehension
Section A
Directions:
For each blank
in the following passage there are four words or
phrases marked A, B, C and D
Fill in
each blank with the word or phrase that best fits
the context.
Marmoset monkeys exist on a branch of
the evolutionary tree that is distinct from the
one that led to
mans. But they
constantly astonish researchers with __ 41___
behavior that seems pretty highly evolved.
Their
social
organization
and
__
42___
practices
could
have
been
the
model
for
the
phrase
“It
takes
a
village.
”
A
dominant male and female breed, and their babies
are carefully looked after by extended family
members who then aren't free to breed
themselves.
A
new
study
further
__
43___
the
m
armoset’s
reputation
for
admirable
community
values.
Researchers report
that these caregivers share their food more
generously with little ones __ 44___ than
when they’re surrounded by the watchful
eyes of other community members. In complex
so
cieties where
individuals
band together for
_ 45__ protection,
researchers have come up with a few widely
accepted
explanations for selfless
behavior. But specific acts, like sharing a
delicious cricket
(蟋蟀
) with a
begging
baby marmoset, seem to need
more _ 46__ explanation
One
possibility is that an individual practices _ 47__
as a means of enhancing his status among peers.
By
_
48__
that
he
is
so
well
gifted
with
material
goods
that
he
can
give
some
away,
this
do-
gooder
enhances his power within the
group. That, in turn, may _ 49__ prospective
mates. The other explanation
for
charitable
behavior
_
50_
that
kindnesses
extended
to
others
are
simply
the
fees
of
group
membership,
which
offers
some
future
promise
of
a
chance
to
mate.
Failure
to
share
would
result
in
exclusion
from
the
group
and
a
loss
of
_
51__
partners.
Scientists
call
this
the
“pay
to
stay”
model.
Importantly, for both
of these models to work, acts of kindness must
have a(n) _ 52__. That suggests you
would see more sharing in group
settings; away from judging eyes, a caregiver
might be more likely to
keep food for
himself or herself. And yet, in 2,581 tests
conducted with 31 adult and 14 baby marmosets,
the _ 53__ appeared to be true
Anthropologists
(
人类学家
) from the University
of Zurich carefully documented how often, in
groups
and in conditions that found
caregiver and baby separated from the crowd, an
adult would share his or her
cricket.
When alone with a baby begging for a taste, adult
marmosets shared their cricket 85% of the time.
When in a group,
caregivers
offered up their cricket 67% of the time.” Our
results show that helping in
common
marmosets is not driven by reputation management
or _ 54__
avoidance, “ the study
authors
reported
Rather,
it
is
driven
by
a
deep-down
motivation
to
help
that
is
more
_
55__
expressed
when
individuals are alone with
young.

Section B
Directions:
Read the
following three passages. Each passage is followed
by several questions or unfinished
statements. For each of them, there are
four choices marked A, B, C and D. choose the one
that fits best
according to the
Information given in the passage you have just
read.
(A)
What to endure before
publication?
It takes a lot to write a
novel. Even those who haven’t tried would say,
“Well, duh!” to this. But it’s not
much
the
mind
space
or
the
considerable
time
it
takes
to
write
a
novel
that
is
as
discouraging
as
how
many times any writer
must go back to the drawing board for yet another
draft. To really ready a novel for
publication,
a
writer
must
spend
time
with
his
or
her
book.
Like
any
promising
relationship,
you,
the
writer ,
must date your novel, take it out to dinner, meet
its parents, and see it through its most trying
and
desperate
times.
As
a
writer,
you
have
to
stay
up
all
night
with
your
novel
crying
and
talking
and
sometimes even pulling your hair out
before that perfect moment of inspiration can
truly help you cross
the finish line.
For many published authors I know,
myself included, a completed novel takes them
about 10, that’s
right, 10 drafts, and
at least a year of real editing. Will you be
spending every single second editing your
novel? No, of course not. Just as
drafts need some real time on the surgery table,
they also need rest in
the recovery
room. You don’t nurse a relationship by spending
every waking second with them until you
can’t stand the sight of each other,
and you can’t produce a novel by
breathing down its literary
neck
.
However, a novel
should undergo many drafts---and
different kinds
of
drafts
—
before declaring it
ready for
an agent or editor to see.
Everyone has their own way
to write a novel, and not all cra
ft
advice (or even craft “rules”) should all
be
followed
by
everyone,
but
when
it
comes
to
the
many
drafts
of
a
novel,
there
are
specific
things
a
writer should focus on during each
revision to help create a smooth transition from
the initial idea to final
products.
56. People are discouraged from writing
a novel mainly because it requires _____.
A. a good publisher
B. too much
thinking
C.
tons of working time
D. frequent revisions
57.
What do writers do in the course of creating a
novel?
A. They spend every minute with
the novel.
B.
They treat the novel as a lover.
C.
They go out with some readers for dinner.
D.
They hurt themselves to stay awake.
58.
By “
breathing down its literary
neck
” in Paragraph 2, the author most
probably means _
____.
A.
writing casually thus failing to take readers’
breath away
B. letting go a
single mistake thus annoying the readers
C. X-raying the
work thus finding each literary mistake
D. sticking too
close to the work thus causing anxiety
59. Which of the following is most
likely to come after the last paragraph?
A. The importance of using proper
transitional words in writing.
B. The
writing experience shared by famous successful
write.
C. Tips on how to make ten
drafts to complete a good novel.
