A Chimps(黑猩猩) will cooperate in certain ways, like gathering in war parties to protect their territory. But beyond the minimum requirements as social beings, they have little instinct (本能) to help one a 1 . Chimps in the wild seek food for themselves. Even chimp mothers regularly decline to share food with their children, who are able from a young age to gather their own food. In the laboratory, chimps don’t naturally share food either. If a chimp is put in a cage where he can pull in one plate of food for himself or, with no great effort, a plate that also provides food for a neighbor to the next cage, he will pull at random—he just doesn’t care whether his neighbor gets fed or not. Chimps are truly selfish. Human children, on the other hand are extremely cooperative. From the earliest ages, they desire to help others, to share information and to participate in a 2 common goals. The psychologist Michael Tomasello has studied this cooperativeness in a series of experiments with very young children. He finds that if babies aged 18 months see a worried adult with hands f 3 trying to open a door, almost all will immediately try to help. There are several reasons to believe that the urges to help, inform and share are not taught, but n 4 possessed in young children. One is that these instincts appear at a very young age before most parents have started to train children to behave socially. Another is that the helping behaviors are not improved if the children are rewarded. A third reason is that social intelligence d 5 in children before their general cognitive(认知的)skills, at least when compared with chimps. In tests conducted by Tomasello, the children did no better than the chimps on the physical world tests, but were considerably better at understanding the social world. The core of what children’s minds have and chimps’ don’t is what Tomasello calls shared intentionality. Part of this ability is that they can infer what others know or are thinking. But b 6 that, even very young children want to be part of a shared purpose. They actively seek to be part of a “we”, a group that intends to work toward a shared goal. （19-20八年级上·上海黄浦·期中）Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words.(在短文的空格内填入适当的单词，使其内容通顺，每空格限填一词，首字母已给) Bananas don’t grow on trees.

But if you visited a country where it’s hot and rains a lot all the year, you might see a banana plantation, a large farm where bananas grow.

Bananas are ready to eat when they t 5 soft and yellow. Bananas are picked long before this — when they’re hard and green. This is because bananas have to travel many miles before they a 6 at a store. On trucks, boats and trains bananas travel all over the world. There are special boats just for bananas and special trains that keep them just cool enough so that they will get ripe while traveling. If bananas are picked when they are ripe (成熟的), they will spoil (腐坏) on the way. （18-19八年级上·上海·期中）（在短文的空格内填入适当的词，使其内容通顺，每空格限填一词，首字母已给） In April next year, I am going to run the London Marathon!

A Chimps(黑猩猩) will cooperate in certain ways, like gathering in war parties to protect their territory. But beyond the minimum requirements as social beings, they have little instinct (本能) to help one a 1 . Chimps in the wild seek food for themselves. Even chimp mothers regularly decline to share food with their children, who are able from a young age to gather their own food. In the laboratory, chimps don’t naturally share food either. If a chimp is put in a cage where he can pull in one plate of food for himself or, with no great effort, a plate that also provides food for a neighbor to the next cage, he will pull at random—he just doesn’t care whether his neighbor gets fed or not. Chimps are truly selfish. Human children, on the other hand are extremely cooperative. From the earliest ages, they desire to help others, to share information and to participate in a 2 common goals. The psychologist Michael Tomasello has studied this cooperativeness in a series of experiments with very young children. He finds that if babies aged 18 months see a worried adult with hands f 3 trying to open a door, almost all will immediately try to help. There are several reasons to believe that the urges to help, inform and share are not taught, but n 4 possessed in young children. One is that these instincts appear at a very young age before most parents have started to train children to behave socially. Another is that the helping behaviors are not improved if the children are rewarded. A third reason is that social intelligence d 5 in children before their general cognitive(认知的)skills, at least when compared with chimps. In tests conducted by Tomasello, the children did no better than the chimps on the physical world tests, but were considerably better at understanding the social world. The core of what children’s minds have and chimps’ don’t is what Tomasello calls shared intentionality. Part of this ability is that they can infer what others know or are thinking. But b 6 that, even very young children want to be part of a shared purpose. They actively seek to be part of a “we”, a group that intends to work toward a shared goal. 【答案】1．(a)nother 2．(a)chieving 3．(f)ull 4．(n)aturally 5．(d)evelops 6．(b)esides 【分析】本文主要通过实验得出，黑猩猩生来就缺乏合作意识，它们天生就不会与它人分享食物，并且非常自私，与之相反的是人类从婴幼儿时期开始就有合作意识，有帮助他人并与他人分享的欲望。 1．句意：他们没有互相帮助的本能。根据“Chimps in the wild seek food for themselves”及备选词可知，黑猩猩没有互相帮助的本能，one another“互相”，故填(a)nother。 2．句意：从很小的时候起，他们就渴望帮助他人，分享信息，参与实现共同目标。根据“participate in … common goals”及首字母可知，此处指实现共同目标，achieve“实现”，此空应填形容词修饰名词，故填(a)chieving。 3．句意：他发现，如果38个月大的婴儿看到一个双手满是东西而试图开门的焦急成年人，几乎所有人都会立即试图帮忙。根据“a worried adult with hands”及首字母可知，双手拿满了东西，所以无法开门，故填(f)ull。 4．句意：有几个理由相信，帮助、告知和分享的冲动不是教出来的，而是小孩子天生具有的。根据“There are several reasons to believe that the urges to help, inform and share are not taught”及首字母可知，这些不是教出来的，是天生具有的，用副词修饰动词possessed，故填(n)aturally。 5．句意：第三个原因是，儿童的社交智力先于一般认知能力发展，至少与黑猩猩相比是这样。根据“social intelligence …in children”及首字母可知，此处指儿童智力发展，develop“发展”，句子是一般现在时，主语是单数形式，动词用三单形式，故填(d)evelops。 6．句意：但除此之外，即使是很小的孩子也想成为一个共同目标的一部分。根据“but”及“even very young children want to be part of a shared purpose”可知，除了可以推断别人知道什么或在想什么，即使是很小的孩子也想成为一个共同目标的一部分，故填(b)esides。 （19-20八年级上·上海黄浦·期中）Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words.(在短文的空格内填入适当的单词，使其内容通顺，每空格限填一词，首字母已给) Bananas don’t grow on trees.

Some never get sweet, and they are cooked as a kind of v 2 . People in most countries never see a banana until it reaches the store. But if you visited a country where it’s hot and rains a lot all the year, you might see a banana plantation, a large farm where bananas grow. The tasty fruit doesn’t come from a seed but from a root planted deep in the ground. First, a stalk pushes up into the air. Then leaves grow. In the beginning the banana plant grows very f 3 — sometimes as much as the length (长度) of your feet in one night. Soon, sweet-smelling flowers come out, and when their flowers drop off, bananas b 4 to grow. As they get bigger, bananas start turning up. It looks as if they’re growing upside down! Bananas are ready to eat when they t 5 soft and yellow. Bananas are picked long before this — when they’re hard and green. This is because bananas have to travel many miles before they a 6 at a store. On trucks, boats and trains bananas travel all over the world. There are special boats just for bananas and special trains that keep them just cool enough so that they will get ripe while traveling.
