During the dinner a man told a humorous story based on the quotation: “Theres a divinity that shapes our ends, rough-hew them how we will.”The storyteller mentioned t
19、hat the quotation was from the Bible. I knew he was wrong. There couldnt be the slightest doubt about it. To get a feeling of importance and display my superiority, I appointed myself as an unwelcome committee member to correct him. He stuck to his guns. “What? From Shakespeare? Impossible! Absurd!
20、That quotation was from the Bible.” And he knew it.The storyteller was sitting on my right; and Frank Gammond, an old friend of mine, was seated on my left. Mr. Gammond had devoted years to the study of Shakespeare. So the storyteller and I agreed to submit the question to Mr. Gammond. Mr. Gammond l
21、istened, kicked me under the table, and then said,“Dale, you are wrong. The gentleman is right. It is from the Bible.”On our way home that night, I said to Mr. Gammond, “Frank, you knew that quotation was from Shakespeare.” “Yes, of course,” he replied, “Hamlet, Act Five, Scene Two. But we were gues
22、ts at a happy time, my dear Dale. Why argue with the storyteller? Why prove to him he is wrong? Why not let him save his face? Always avoid your sharp angle.” I learned a lesson Ill never forget. I not only had made the storyteller uncomfortable, but also had put my friend in - 6 -an embarrassing si
23、tuation. How much better it would have been had I not become argumentative.Nine times out of ten, an argument ends with each of the contestants more firmly convinced than ever that he is absolutely right. You cant win an argument. You cant because if you lose it, you lose it; and if you win it, you
24、lose it.24 What did the author do to get a feeling of importance at the party? A. Tell a humorous story. B. Show off his rich knowledge.C. Teach the storyteller a lesson. D. Correct the storytellers mistake.25 Why did Frank Gammond kick the author under the table? A. Because he didnt know much about

Mind Your Manners at a PartyC If I scratch your back and you scratch mine, then were both better off as a result so goes the principle of reciprocity. As hu
27、mans, we are familiar with the concept. But do animals also help those who help them? The answer may be yes. A paper by Dolivo and Taborsky shows that Norway rats will only give as good as they get.In their laboratory, Dolivo and Taborsky first trained rats to pull on a stick that drew a food item w
28、ithin reach of a rat in a neighboring cage separated from them by wire mesh (钢丝网).They then introduced a further treatment in which an experimental rat was - 7 -placed in a cage with other caged rats on either side. On one side the rat pulled a stick that provided pieces of carrot to the rat in the
29、central cage, while the other pulled a stick that produced banana pieces.In the following trials the focal rat (the one in the central cage) had the opportunity to repay the other rats using the same stick tool to deliver food items.Now, the rats had typically turned their noses up at the carrot and
30、 showed a strong preference for the more desirable banana. On the basis that the banana-providing rat should therefore be remembered as the superior partner, the authors predicted that in the test phase (阶段) the focal rat would more readily provide help for banana-offering rats than for carrot-offer
31、ing rats. This proved to be the case: the rats that had provided better help in the past received greater rewards it seemed that they were behaving reciprocally.Dolivo and Taborskys experiments show that rats can recall the quality of help provided and by which rat, and adjust their behavior so as t
32、o invest more time and energy in helping those that helped them. It is apparent that we shouldnt undervalue the ability of animals to engage in reciprocity.28 What does the underlined word “reciprocity” in Paragraph 1 probably refer to? A. The act of being kind to other people. B. A cooperative exch
33、ange of favors.C. A positive attitude to everything. D. The quality of being generous.29 What would happen if a rat pulled the stick according to the text? A. It would find some food in its own cage. B. Other rats would be able to enter its cage.C. Another rat in another cage would get food. D. It w
34、ould be able to enter a neighboring cage.30 Which got more benefit from the focal rat in the experiments? A. The rats that preferred carrot pieces. B. The rats that - 8 -preferred banana pieces.C. The rats that had provided carrot pieces. D. The rats that had provided banana pieces.31 Which of the f
35、ollowing might Dolivo and Taborsky agree with? A. Some animals may return others help. B. Norway rats have very poor memories.C. It is hard to explain the ability of animals. D. Rats behavior is very uncommon.DTaking charge of yourself involves putting to rest some common beliefs. At the top of the
36、list is the notion that intelligence is measured by your ability to solve complex problems; to read, write and compute at certain levels; and to resolve abstract equations (方 程 式 ) quickly. This vision of intelligence asserts (断言) formal education and bookish excellence as the true measures of self-
37、fulfillment. It encourages a kind of intellectual prejudice that has brought with it some discouraging results. We have come to believe that someone who is very good at some form of school discipline is “intelligent”. Yet mental hospitals are filled with patients who have all of the professional cer
38、tificates. A truer indicator of intelligence is an effective, happy life lived each day and each present moment.If you are happy, if you live each moment for everything its worth, then you are an intelligent person. Problem solving is a useful help to your happiness, but if you know that given your
39、inability to solve a particular problem you can still choose happiness for yourself, or at a minimum refuse to choose unhappiness, then you are intelligent. You are intelligent because you have the ultimate weapon against the big N.B.D. Nervous Break Down.“Intelligent” people do not have N.B.D.s bec
40、ause they are in charge of themselves. They know how to choose happiness over depression, because they know how to deal with the problems of their lives.You can begin to think of yourself as truly intelligent on the basis of how - 9 -you choose to feel in the face of trying circumstances. Everyone w
41、ho is involved with other human beings in any social context has similar difficulties. Disagreements, conflicts and compromises are a part of what it means to be human. Similarly, money, growing old, sickness, deaths, natural disasters and accidents are all events which present problems to actually
42、all human beings. But some people are able to make it, to avoid abandoning themselves to depression and unhappiness despite such occurrences, while others collapse or have N.B.D.s. Those who recognize problems as a human condition and dont measure happiness by an absence of problems are the most int
43、elligent kind of humans we know; also, the most rare.32 According to the author, the notion of intelligence measured in terms of ones ability to read, write and compute _.A. will help remove intellectual prejudice B. is a widely held but wrong concept C. will contribute to ones self-fulfillmentD. is
44、 the root of all mental suffering33 It is implied in the passage that holding a university degree _. A. does not mean that one is highly intelligent B. may make one mentally sick and physically weak C. does not indicate ones ability to write professional documentsD. may result in ones inability to s
45、olve complex real-life problems 34 The author thinks that an intelligent person knows _. A. how to accept some common beliefsB. how to persuade others to compromise C. how to find the best way to achieve success in life D. how to avoid depression and make his life worthwhile35 According to the last
46、paragraph, which statement is TRUE? A. Difficulties are part of everyones life.B. Depression and unhappiness are unavoidable in life.C. Everybody should learn to avoid challenging circumstances.- 10 -D. Good feelings can contribute to eventual academic excellence.第 二 节 （ 共 5 小 题 ； 每 小 题 2 分 ， 满 分 10

48、etal to make tools.37 And we dont need shops or money to do it. Evidence from hunter-gatherers suggests that the exchange of food and other necessary things comes naturally, as well as the ability to keep a record of the credits involved. And once trade begins, the benefits are hard to resist. Ancie
49、nt local coastal people in northern Australia traded fish hooks, along a chain of trading partners, with people living 400 miles inland, who cut and polished local stone to make axes (斧子).38 Finally, both groups of “producers”, by concentrating on things they could produce and exchanging them for other things they needed, benefited as a result.Trade in the necessities of life, such as food and simple tools, is not really
