My two- and four-year-old boys love to win, whether they're racing their bikes down the sidewalk or just finishing their snacks. It's true that those with high status, from world leaders and prize winners to athletes and movie stars, are people we like and respect. A recent study published in Nature Human Behaviour showed that we seem to have an innate (天生的) preference for high-ranking peoples—but only if those people aren't hurtful toward others.Researchers showed toddlers (aged 21 to 31 months) a scene where two puppets (木偶) approached one another from opposite sides of a stage and one bowed to let the other pass first. Asked which puppet they liked better, 18 of the 21 toddlers in the experiment reached for the puppet who had been allowed to pass. Because respect from others is a marker of status, this suggests that children have a preference for those with a higher status—even before age three. However, the results were quite different when two puppets approached one another and one used force to knock the other down before continuing to the other side. In this case, 18 of the 21 toddlers reached for the one who was knocked down. As the researchers concluded, "When approaching others, very young children care not only who wins, but also how." The previous experiment has shown that toddlers know about social status, but this experiment went one step further by proving they have an obvious preference for high status. Since the participants were so young, this might even be an innate human preference.In a word, this new research suggests that young children appreciate people who do well while at the same time doing good to others. So, when my four-year-old thinks that he has to get his shoes on first, I'll keep reminding him that helping his brother so they both finish faster is what winning is all about.(1)What do we tend to do according to the first paragraph?A.Seek challenges all the time.B.Admire high-ranking people.C.Take advantage of high status.D.Hurt others with offensive words.(2)Why did toddlers prefer the puppet allowed to pass?A.It looked adorable.B.It behaved smartly.C.It seemed polite.D.It was respected.(3)What can we infer from the latter study?A.Slower people are better loved by toddlers.B.People naturally dislike unkind behavior.C.Toddlers care little about high social status.D.Being helpful contributes to being supported.(4)What should we do when we encourage children to win?A.Instruct them to use proper and creative ways.B.Advise them to be as hardworking as possible.C.Remind them to be considerate to other people.D.Tell them to try to cooperate with someone else.【答案】(1)B(2)D(3)B(4)C【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了人们更倾向于喜欢和尊敬地位高而又无害于他人的人,这似乎是一种天性,即使是蹒跚学步的孩子也是如此。
(1)考查细节理解。
根据第一段中的“A recent study published in Nature Human Behavi our showed that we seem to have an innate(天生的)preference for high-ranking peoples—but only if those people aren't hurtful toward others.”可知,我们更倾向于敬佩那些地位高的人。
故选B。
(2)考查细节理解。
根据第二段中的“Asked which puppet they liked better, 18 of the 21 toddlers in the experiment reached for the puppet who had been allowed to pass. Because respect from others is a marker of status, this suggests that children have a preference for those with a higher status—even before age three.”可知,蹒跚学步的孩子喜欢那个被允许通过的木偶,是因为这种行为代表着受人尊敬,孩子们更喜欢受尊敬的人。
故选D。
(3)考查推理判断。
根据第三段中的“In this case, 18 of the 21 toddlers reached for the one who was knocked down.和Since the participants were so young, this might even be an innate human preference.”可知,孩子们会走向被撞倒的人,而由于孩子太小,甚至可能是人类与生俱来的偏好。
由此可推断出,人们天生不喜欢不友善的行为。
故选B。
(4)考查推理判断。
根据最后一段中的“In a word, this new research suggests that young children appreciate people who do well while at the same time doing good to others.”可知,孩子欣赏那些在做好事的同时表现出色的人。
由此可推断出,我们鼓励孩子去赢的同时,提醒他们要体谅他人。
故选C。
【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解和推理判断两个题型的考查,是一篇科教类阅读,考生需要准确掌握细节信息,同时根据上下文进行逻辑推理,从而选出正确答案。
2.犇犇Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have read.Stocky, slow-moving whale, rarely grows beyond 15 metres in lengthFlippers are a third of body length; variable dorsal fin size and shape; saw-toothed trailing edge on flukes, often raised when divingBumpy tubercles on top of headBody colour is dark brown to black; often extensive white on flippers and underside of body and flukes; such patterns enable individual recognitionBushy blow, occasionally V-shaped270-400 olive baleen platesHumpback whales belong to the rorqual (groove-throated) family, which includes fin, sei, Bryde's, minke and blue whales. The big family migrate between winter tropical breeding areas (North West Shelf, Great Barrier Reef, New Caledonia, Vanuatu, Fiii, Tonga) and summer Antarctic feeding areas. Once common in New Zealand waters, humpbacks are now rarely seen and may migrate further offshore. Males compete for mates either by physical fight or by song. Females give birth to their young every two to three years; some non-breeding females probably remain in the southern waters during winter. Young humpback whales return to their area of birth but in later life some wander between breeding areas. Humpbacks eat small shrimps and other schooling prey, such as fish, forming small, cooperative groups of two to three individuals to feed. Similar species: Easily identifiable due to a 'hump' back when submerging, but at a distance may be confused with other species that raise their flukes when diving, such as sperm, right and blue whales.Protection status: Recovering well from past whaling and now numerous in some former migration and aggregation areas, rarely seen in others.(1)Which of the following is TRUE about humpback whales?A. Their long flippers vary in length, size and shape like dorsal fin.B. They are large and likely to grow longer than 15 metres.C. The different colors and patterns of the body help to be recognized.D. Their bumpy tubercles and blowholes are on both sides of head.(2)Which of the following can be inferred from this article's description of humpback whales' migration?A. They need warmer waters to breed.B. They can't survive in extreme cold.C. They find plentiful food in tropical waters.D. They are mostly hunted in New Zealand waters.(3)This article is mainly intended to .A. explain why humpbacks are still hunted in some parts of the worldB. introduce how humpbacks migrate through some dangerous watersC. popularize the basic knowledge of humpbacks and call for protectionD. help distinguish humpbacks from other similar species【答案】(1)C(2)A(3)C【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了座头鲸外形特点、体重、颜色,以及其如何繁殖、喂养等生活习性等,并呼吁大家保护它。
