Scientists at Harvard University and Bates College find female chimpanzees (黑猩猩) appear to treat sticks as dolls, carrying them around until they have children of their own. Young males engage in such behavior much less frequently.
The new work by Sonya M. Kahlenberg and Richard W.Wrangham, described this week in the journal Current Biology, provides the first evidence of a wild nonhuman species playing with dolls, as well as the first known sex difference in a wild animal's choice of playthings.
The two researchers say their work adds to a growing body of evidence that human children are probably born with their own ideas of how they want to behave, rather than simply mirroring other girls who play with dolls and boys who play with trucks. Doll play among humans could have its origins in object—carrying by earlier apes (猿类), they say, suggesting that toy selection is probably not due entirely to socialization.
“In humans, there are obvious sex differences in children's toy play, and these are remarkably similar across cultures,” says Kahlenberg. “While socialization by elders and peers has been the primary explanation, our work suggests that biology may also have an important role to play in activity preferences.”
In 14 years of data on chimpanzee behavior at the Kibale National Park in Uganda, Kahlenberg and Wrangham counted more than 100 examples of stickcarrying. Some young chimpanzees carried sticks into the nest to sleep with them and on one occasion built a separate nest for the stick.“We have seen juveniles occasionally carrying sticks for many years, and because they sometimes treated them rather like dolls, we wanted to know if in general this behavior tended to represent something like playing with dolls,” says Wrangham, a Professor at Harvard. “If the doll hypothesis (假设) was right, we thought that females should carry sticks more than males do, and that the chimpanzees should stop carrying sticks when they had their first child. We have now watched enough young chimpanzees to prove both points.”
文章大意:本文是一篇科普文。研究发现,雌性黑猩猩会把棍子当作自己的玩偶,直到它们有了自己的孩子。
1.What does a female chimpanzee do with sticks?
A.She gives them to her child to play with.
B.She treats them as weapons.
C.She treats them as dolls.
D.She makes useful tools from them.
答案:C 细节理解题。根据第一段第一句“... female Chimpanzees (黑猩猩) appear to treat sticks as dolls...”可知,雌性黑猩猩会把棍子当作自己的玩偶。故选C项。
2.What causes the different toy selection of chimpanzees, according to the passage?
A.Socialization. B.Sex difference.
C.Environment. D.Cultural difference.
答案:B 细节理解题。据第二段中的“as well as the first known sex difference...playthings.”可知,性别差异是导致黑猩猩玩具选择差异的主要原因。故选B项。
3.We can infer from the fourth paragraph that ________.
A.socialization has nothing to do with human's choice of playthings
B.the biology factor may also influence toy choice
C.sex difference is the only factor in human's choice of playthings
D.people choose different toys in different cultures
答案:B 推理判断题。根据第四段倒数第一句“our work suggests that biology may also have an important role in activity preferences.”可知,这两位科学家的研究表明:生物学因素也可能影响黑猩猩对玩具的偏好。A项与原文中的“While socialization by elders and peers has been the primary explanation”不符,排除;C项过于绝对;D项文中未涉及。故选B项。
4.Wrangham probably believes that ________.
A.observing so many chimpanzees has been enough for them to make a conclusion
B.the study proves human beings have evolved (进化) from chimpanzees
C.all chimpanzees treat the sticks as dolls
D.children playing with sticks are abnormal
答案:A 推理判断题。根据第五段最后一句“We have now watched enough young chimpanzees to prove both points.”可推断,A项正确。
5.It can be concluded from the passage that ________.
A.chimpanzees usually choose playthings for their children
B.different factors cause humans and chimpanzees to choose different playthings
C.only female chimpanzees have playthings
D.both humans and chimpanzees choose their playthings due to sex difference
答案:D 推理判断题。综合文章内容可知,无论是人类还是黑猩猩,性别是导致玩具选择差异的重要原因。故选D项。
Ⅲ.七选五
(2013·石家庄一模)
People living in the flat can also have a garden because a balcony is never too small to add a garden.
Plan your garden to take advantage of the balcony exposure (朝向). __1__ Coolweather crops such as lettuce also do well with an eastern exposure that gets most of its direct sun in the morning, since leafy vegetables tend to go to seed rather than maturing if they're grown in a desert climate or with hot afternoon sun on them. A southern exposure permits almost anything.
__2__ Root vegetables, such as long carrots and most potatoes, require soil depths that you really can't get in a containerbased garden.
Line up your containers according to size and list a crop for each container. __3__ For example, radishes or herbs grow nicely in a long flower box only a few inches deep. Bell peppers need more depth and plenty of horizontal space to spread out, so you place them in 5gallon containers.
__4__ Read planting instructions or ask the nursery worker to determine how many plants you should start with in each container for each type of vegetable.
Let the starter plants sit for 24 hours in their nursery containers to allow them to recover from handling. __5__ Make holes in the potting soil and transplant your starter plants.
Now enjoy your balcony garden and wait for a good harvest.
A.But you'd better stay away from tall crops such as corn if you have limited
space.
B.Write the container size in a notebook with the vegetable or herb.
C.During that time, fill your growing containers half to twothirds full of potting soil.
D.Take your notebook to the nursery.
E.Select a container that has a large opening.
F.An eastfacing balcony can grow flowers, herbs, and smaller vegetables.
G.Cut a hole in the bottom of the container.
答案:1-5 FABDC

Health
A recent survey shows that the health of the students in our school has been going from bad to worse in the past three years.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
答案:
Health
A recent survey shows that the health of the students in our school has been going from bad to worse in the past three years. The number of short-sighted students has increased from 77% in 2010 to 93.5% in 2013, while that of overweight students from 38% to 57.2%. Nearly 15% more students don't have enough sleep because of more homework. Besides, over 21% more students become mentally unhealthy.
It seems to me that the reasons for this lie in heavier burden of study and more homework, thus making students unable to spare any time to take exercise or have enough sleep.To improve students' health, we call for less homework. Only in this way can students get plenty of sleep and be more healthy. Proper diets and exercise should also be paid attention to so that they won't easily put on weight. With their heavy burdens removed, students can then keep in normal mental health.
