what

三、阅读理解
A
【2016高考训练】阅读下列短文,
从给的四个选项
(A、B、C和D)
中,
选出最佳选项。
Working
with
a
grou
( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )p
of
baboons
(狒狒)
in
the
Namibian
desert，Dr.Alecia
Carter
of
the
Department
of
Zoology，Cambridge
University
set
baboons
learning
tasks
involving
a
novel
food
and
a
familiar
food，hidden
in
a
box.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
( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )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
( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )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
( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )
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
m
( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ay
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.
1．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.
2．According
to
the
( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )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.
3．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.
4．Dr.Carter's
findi
( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ngs
indicate
that
our
culture
might
be
formed
through
________.
A．storing
information
B．learning
from
each
other
C．understanding
different
people
D．travelling
between
social
groups
答案：
【语篇解读】　本文是一篇科普说明文。剑桥
( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )大学的一些研究人员通过对狒狒的研究发现，影响狒狒学习成效的因素不是它们的智力，而是其性格以及对学习的渴望程度。这一研究结果也适用于人类社会：如果我们不善于与他人沟通或太胆怯而不能利用所得到的信息，那么会阻碍以社会学习为基础的文化的形成。
1．A　解析：推理判断题。第一段描述了研究人
( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )员如何开展这一研究的具体细节：把新奇的食物和熟悉的食物藏在一个盒子里，有些狒狒有机会观看另外一只狒狒是如何完成任务的，而另外一些狒狒则不得不自学完成任务，因此选A项“卡特博士研究的设计”，而非研究的“结果”“目的”或“重要性”。
2．D　解析：细节理解题。由文章第二
( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )段中The
braver
baboons
learnt，but
the
shy
ones
did
not
learn...及第三段中The
anxious
individuals
learnt...while
those
who
were
relaxed
did
not...这些对实验的描述可知D项“那些渴望学习的狒狒”符合题意。
3．C　解析：推理判断题。该词所在上文
( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )，即第二、三段提到在观察了别的狒狒之后，勇敢的、渴望学习的狒狒学到本领，而害羞的狒狒学了却不像别的狒狒那样去做；再根据between
collecting
social
information
and
using
it可知与“收集”和“使用”对应的是“观察别人但不跟着做”，即C项。
4．B　解析：细节理解题。最后一段首句T
( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )he
findings
may
impact
how
we
understand
the
formation
of
culture
in
societies
through
social
learning.意为“研究结果可能会影响我们如何理解社会文化的形成，该文化的形成是通过社会学习获得的”。换言之，作者认为我们的文化是通过social
learning而形成的，与B项“互相学习”相呼应，而非“储存信息”“理解不同的人”或“在社会群体间传播”。

Four
Must-See
Route
66(66号公路)
Attractions
The
United
States
( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )
is
full
of
odd
roadside
attractions.
Route
66
is
home
to
some
of
the
oldest
and
most
known
attractions
of
them
all.
Here
are
four
attractions
you
should
see
along
the
Mother
Road:
1.
Paul
Bunyan
and
a
Hot
Dog
Route
66
travelers
( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )
pass
by
many fiberglass giants(巨人)
right
along
the
road.
These
giants
were
a
popular
form
of
advertising
in
the
1960s.
Many
of
them
stood
in
front
of
service
stations.
They
held
car
parts,
such
as mufflers.
The
collection
of
Route
66
giants
became
known
as
“Muffler
Men”.
Businesses
hoped
the
strange
statues
would
get
travelers’
attention.
The
first
fiberglas
( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s
giant
was
a
“Paul
Bunyan”
figure,
built
in
the
early
1960s.
It
is
said
that
Paul
Bunyan
is
a
famous wood
worker.
2.

Candy
Kitchen

Jamaica
Ray
Crown
Candy
Ki
( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )tchen
has
been
serving
Route
66
travelers
from
the
very
beginning.
It
is
just
a
few
short
blocks
from
the
66
path
through
St.
Louis,
Missouri.
The
family-run
soda
fountain
shop
opened
more
than
100
years
ago,
and
has
been
making
candies
and
meals
ever
since.
On
weekends,
( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )people
sometimes
wait
in
line
for
a
table
at
Crown
Candy
for
over
an
hour.
Luckily
there
is
free
entertainment
right
outside.
Jamaica
Ray,
a
local
folk
artist,
creates
unusual
sculptures.
3.
The
World's
Largest
Rocking
Chair
Fanning,
Missouri,
is
( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )
home
to
one
of
the
strangest
Route
66
attractions.
Just
off
the
road
sits
an
almost
13-meter-tall
rocking
chair.
The
structure
was
comp
( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )leted
in
2008
on
the
first
of
April,
or
April
Fool’s
Day.
At
one
time
the
chair
( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )actually
rocked.
But
officials
decided
it
had
to
be
still
to
be
safe
for
ever.
People
are
not
permitted
to
climb
the
chair.
We
think,
however,
that
it
probably
happens
once
in
a
while
when
no
one
is
watching.

happiness,
we
usually
think
of
something
extraordinary,
a

And
those
pinnacles
seem
to
get
rarer
the

we

playing
police
and
robbers
in
the
woods,
getting
a
speaking
part

Of

but
their
delight
at
such
peaks

For

In

the
( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )things
that

great

adults,
happiness
is
complex.
54

But
I
think
( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )
a
better
definition
of
happiness
is
“
the
ability
to
enjoy
something”.
The
more
we
can
enjoy
what
we
have,
the
happier
we
are.
It's
easy
to
overlook
the
pleasure
we
get
from
loving
and
being
loved,
the
company
of
friends,
the
freedom
to
live
where
we
please,
even
good
health.
While
happiness
may
( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )
be
more
complex
for
us,
the
solution
is
the
same
as
ever.
Happiness
isn't
about
what
happens
to
us;
it’s
the
ability
to
find
a
positive
for
every
negative,
and
view
a
difficulty
as
a
challenge.

E.
The
dictionary
defines
“happy”
as
“lucky”
or
“
fortunate”.
F.
It's
not
( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )wishing
for
what
we
don't
have,
but
enjoying
what
we
do
possess.
G.
Suddenly
it’s
( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )conditional
on
such
things
as
excitement,
love,
and
popularity.
