Martin Gregus and Brittany Crossman are among the 25shortlisted nominees (被提名的候选人) for this year’s Wildlife Photographer of the Year People’s Choice Award. Since he was eight years old, Gregus has been passionate about photography, working on projects with his father, who is also a photographer. In 2015, he had the opportunity to visit various areas of the Arctic (北极), where he saw polar bears in a summer climate for the first time. After that, Gregus worked to develop a relationship with the bears in this area, which he says is key to his success in photographing them. To Gregus, this nomination is more than just a physical award but a chance to connect with others in the profession and celebrate everyone’s achievements. “We live a very secluded life as wildlife photographers. You know, we give up most of our life to fiIm animals, so when we are given a chance to be around people, it’s remarkable.” Earlier in 2022, Crossman was named the Canadian Wildlife Photographer of the Year by Canadian·Geographic. Her nomination for the Wildlife Photographer of the Year People’s Choice Award, Fox affection, features two red foxes in Ontario. Now, she teaches wildlife workshops for people who are also interested in nature photography. “Right now, I have been focusing on exploring urban wildlife. I hope in the future that I will get to see other parts of the world, recording different species with my camera. In particular, I’d love to photograph brown bears on the west coast of Canada or Alaska,” Crossman says. 4. What scenes are displayed in paragraph 1? A. The harmony between humans and nature. B. The interaction among distinct species. C. Impressive urban landscapes. D. Sweet moments of nature. 5. What can be learned about Gregus? A. He became known for his Fex nffection. B. He was influenced a lot by his grandfather. C. He's been into photography from a young age. D. He's been involved in bear conservation for years. 6. What does the underlined word “secluded” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Disconnected. B. Stressful. C. Uhhappy. D. Complicated. 7. What is Crossman’s wish at present? A. To spend the rest of her life in Alaska. B. To photograph animals around the world. C. To set up a wildlife workshop of her own. D. To get a decent job at Canadian Geographic. 【答案】4. D 5. C 6. A 7. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。本文讲述了两位加拿大野生动物摄影师Martin Gregus和Brittany Crossman的摄影经历、成就以及他们未来的愿望。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“A pair of red foxes playing together against a snowy backdrop and a baby polar bear bathing in brilliant sunshine surrounded by a mass of purple fireweed-both scenes are documented by two Canadian wildlife photographers.(一对红狐狸在雪地上嬉戏，一只小北极熊在灿烂的阳光下沐浴，周围环绕着一大片紫色的柳兰，这两个场景都被两位加拿大野生动物摄影师记录了下来。)”可知，第一段展示的是大自然的甜蜜时刻。故选D。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Since he was eight years old, Gregus has been passionate about photography, working on projects with his father, who is also a photographer.(Gregus从8岁起就对摄影充满了热情，他和同样也是摄影师的父亲一起工作。)”可知，Gregus从小就喜欢摄影。故选C。 【6题详解】 词句猜测题。根据下文“we give up most of our life to film animals, so when we are given a chance to be around people, it’s remarkable.(我们把人生的大部分时间都用来拍摄动物，所以当有机会和人相处时，这种体验堪称难得。)”可知，野生动物摄影师放弃生活中的很多去拍摄动物，有机会和人相处都觉得难得，说明他们的生活是与外界相对隔绝的，由此可知，secluded意为“隔绝的，不相连的”。故选A。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段““Right now, I have been focusing on exploring urban wildlife. I hope in the future that I will get to see other parts of the world, recording different species with my camera. In particular, I’d love to photograph brown bears on the west coast of Canada or Alaska,” Crossman says.(Crossman说：“现在，我一直在专注于探索城市野生动物。我希望将来我能去看看世界的其他地方，用我的相机记录不同的物种。特别是，我很想在加拿大或阿拉斯加的西海岸拍摄棕熊。”)”可知，Crossman目前的愿望是拍摄世界各地的动物。故选B。 C In psychology, culture is often discussed as a fairly unique human capacity, rooted in our ability to learn from others, come up with new innovations, and pass down our knowledge across historical time. But as biologist Frans de Waal notes, the more we study other species, the less unique we appear to be. “After the apes (类人猿) break down the wall between humans and the rest of the animal kingdom, the floodgates often open to include species after species.” Planning for the future and recognizing oneself in a mirror, all of these were once thought to be cognitive (认知的) capacities that were exclusive to humans. Yet time and again, species ranging from bonobos to crows have been shown to possess these abilities as well. Some of the earliest evidence of animal culture comes from observations of songbirds. It turns out that different songs are observed in different regions. Just as humans in different regions speak different languages or dialects, so too do birds. Scientists have also observed evidence that animals may possess dietary cultures as well. One classic example comes from the observation in the 1950s of monkeys living on a Japanese island. One monkey began to wash her sweet potatoes in a nearby stream. Over time other members of the group began to copy this behavior and started washing them in the ocean, potentially to add a salty flavor. This novel way of preparing food spread through the group, learned by one generation after the next, and continued for years. And it’s not just mammals (哺乳动物) that have been shown to have the ability to puss down cultural practices. In a recent study researchers trained a bee to pull on a string to release nectar (花蜜) from an artificial flower. The researchers then had other bees observe this behavior from a distance and found that they readily learned it as well. The authors concluded that this work was a powerful demonstration of how cultural practices are passed down among insects. 8. What does the author stress in the first paragraph? A. Culture is a unique human capacity. B. Apes differ significantly from other animals. C. Knowledge is passed down across generations D. Humans and animals share some cognitive abilities 9. Why did the monkeys wash the sweet potatoes? A. To clean them. B. To improve the taste. C. To copy the behavior of other species. D. To gain attention from other group members. 10. What did the string-pulling task show? A. Bees could train each other. B. Animals could learn from observation. C. Mammals were no smarter than insects. D. Innovation spread faster among certain animals. 11. What is the best title for the text? A. Do animals have culture? B. How do animals live? C. How do animals communicate? D. Do animals create rules? 【答案】8. D 9. B 10. B 11. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要关于动物是否有文化列举了一系列研究。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“In psychology, culture is often discussed as a fairly unique human capacity, rooted in our ability to learn from others, come up with new innovations, and pass down our knowledge across historical time. But as biologist Frans de Waal notes, the more we study other species, the less unique we appear to be. “After the apes (类人猿) break down the wall between humans and the rest of the animal kingdom, the floodgates often open to include species after species.” Planning for the future and recognizing oneself in a mirror， all of these were once thought to be cognitive (认知的) capacities that were exclusive to humans. Yet time and again, species ranging from bonobos to crows have been shown to possess these abilities as well.(在心理学领域，人们通常将文化视为一种相当独特的人类能力，这种能力源于我们从他人身上学习、提出新创意以及在历史长河中传承知识的能力。但正如生物学家弗兰斯·德瓦尔所指出的那样，当我们对其他物种进行更深入的研究时，我们似乎就越不显得独特了。“当类人猿打破人类与动物界其他成员之间的界限后，各种物种往往会相继被纳入进来。”规划未来以及通过镜子认识自己，这些曾经都被认为是人类独有的认知能力。然而，从倭黑猩猩到乌鸦等众多物种都一次次地被证明也具备这些能力)”可知，作者在第一段中强调了人类和动物具有某些相同的认知能力。故选D。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段One monkey began to wash her sweet potatoes in a nearby stream. Over time other members of the group began to copy this behavior and started washing them in the ocean, potentially to add a salty flavor.(一只猴子开始在附近的溪流中清洗她的红薯。随着时间的推移，群体中的其他成员也开始模仿这种行为，开始在海洋里清洗红薯，可能是为了增添一种咸味)”可知，猴子洗红薯是为了增加咸味，改善味道，故选B。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“In a recent study, researchers trained a bee to pull on a string to release nectar (花蜜) from an artificial flower. The researchers then had other bees observe this behavior from a distance and found that they readily learned it as well. The authors concluded that this work was a powerful demonstration of how cultural practices are passed down among insects.(在最近的一项研究中，研究人员训练一只蜜蜂通过拉动一根绳子来从一个人造花朵中获取花蜜。随后，研究人员让其他蜜蜂从远处观察这一行为，并发现它们也很快学会了这一动作。作者得出结论，这项研究有力地证明了昆虫之间是如何传承文化行为的)”可知，动物可以通过观察学习，故选B。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“Some of the earliest evidence of animal culture comes from observations of songbirds.(动物文化的最早证据之一来自对鸣禽的观察)”以及文章开篇指出文化常被认为是人类独特的，但实际动物也有类似文化的表现，接着从鸟类不同地区叫声不同、猴子洗红薯、蜜蜂学习拉绳子等方面举例说明动物存在文化相关行为，核心围绕“动物是否有文化”展开，A选项最符合文章标题。故选A。 D A decade ago, I was advising a newly-hired chief financial officer (CFO) in chargc of 300people. I’d asked her to prepare a ninc-minutc speech and then all 300 souls gathered in thc ballroom. Unfortunately, our new CFO misplaced her purse and couldn’t find the talking points for her opening specch. So what did shc say? She talked a bit about her life and began giving credit and appreciation to he cmployces for all the fantastic work they had done. She went on to lead with empathy (共情) and kindness, and conscquently her people were energized. That was a successful speech. These days. the number of employccs who say they feel cngaged, satisfied and energized at work is at a historic low. More people are leaving the corporate rat race to pursue their own entrepreneurial ventures (创业企业). So can companies maintain their top performers? Certainly they can. A study led by researcher Mei Feng from Berkeley University reveals firms with prosocial leaders perform better. Prosociality is defincd as ‌“positive” social behavior intended to promote others’ welfare. In this case, researchers categorized certain leaders as “prosocial” based on whether or not they gave credit to their employees for good performance and took responsibility themselves during poor performance. They found that companies with prosocial leaders had lower turnover among employees, more policies that are favorable to employees’ well-being and development, higher customer satisfaction ratings, higher profitability, as well as lower financial, operational and reputational risk, which suggests prosocial managers improve organizational efficiency. Berkeley’s another researcher Lalin Ank and her co-workers explored the effects of “prosocial bonuses” where employees could allocate monetary rewards to charitable donations or as gifts to co-workers. In their experiments, Belgian parmaceutical sales teams and Canadian dodgeball teams were offered either “spend it on yourself’ or ‌“spend it on your teammates” bonuses. When participants received money to spend on teammates, the team performed better than teams given funds for personal use. Overall, these findings-suggest that creating a prosocial workplace is not only the right thing to do but also a strategic business decision, with clear financial returns. 12. What was the key to the CFO’s success in her opening speech? A. Detailed company plans. B. Touching personal life stories. C. Recognition of employees’ efforts. D. Criticism of previous management. 13. What is the function of the question in paragraph 2? A. To question the experiments. B. To commpate two different topics. C. To doubt the previous assumption. D. To introduce the following paragraphs. 14. What do prosocial leaders tend to do according to the text? A. Show confidence in themselves. B. Frequent employees’ private houses. C. Acknowledge incompetent employees. D. Take responsibility for the team’s mistakes. 15. Which is the best title for the text? A. Kinder Emnployees Are More Acceptable B. Prosocial Workplaces Are More Successful C. Solutions to Poor Organizational Efficiency D. Financial Strategies for Struggling Ccompanies 【答案】12. C 13. D 14. D 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章通过讲述CFO的成功演讲引出话题，指出企业员工工作积极性低，而研究表明利他型的领导者能让公司表现更好，创建利他型的工作场所是明智的商业决策。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“So what did shc say? She talked a bit about her life and began giving credit and appreciation to he cmployces for all the fantastic work they had done. She went on to lead with empathy (共情) and kindness, and conscquently her people were energized. That was a successful speech.(她是怎么做的呢？她简单分享了自己的经历，接着开始真诚赞扬并感谢员工们取得的卓越成绩。整场演讲她始终以共情与善意引领，团队因此备受鼓舞。这无疑是一次成功的演讲)”可知，CFO演讲成功的关键在于真诚赞扬并感谢员工们取得的卓越成绩，对员工努力的认可。故选C项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“These days, the number of employees who say they feel engaged, satisfied and energized at work is at a historic low. More people are leaving the corporate rat race to pursue their own entrepreneurial ventures (创业企业). So can companies maintain their top performers? Certainly they can.(如今，声称自己在工作中感到投入、满意且充满活力的员工比例已跌至历史低点。越来越多人选择逃离企业间的激烈竞争，转而投身个人创业。那么，企业还能留住顶尖人才吗？当然可以)”、第三段中“A study led by researcher Mei Feng from Berkeley University reveals firms with prosocial leaders perform better.(伯克利大学研究员梅峰领导的一项研究表明，拥有利他型领导的公司表现更好)”和第四段中“They found that companies with prosocial leaders had lower turnover among employees(他们发现，拥有利他型领导者的公司员工流动率较低)”可推知，此处提出的问题是为了引出下文关于公司如何留住优秀员工以及利他型领导者对公司的影响等内容。故选D项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“In this case, researchers categorized certain leaders as “prosocial” based on whether or not they gave credit to their employees for good performance and took responsibility themselves during poor performance.(在这种情况下，研究人员根据领导者是否会因员工表现出色而给予赞扬，以及在表现不佳时是否自己承担责任，将某些领导者归类为“利他型”领导者)”可知，利他型的领导者倾向于为团队的错误承担责任。故选D项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，结合最后一段“Overall, these findings suggest that creating a prosocial workplace is not only the right thing to do but also a strategic business decision, with clear financial returns.(总体而言，这些研究结果表明，打造一个利他型工作场所不仅是正确的选择，更是具有明确财务回报的战略性商业决策)”可知，本文主要论述了利他型的工作场所能让公司表现更好，更成功。故B项“Prosocial Workplaces Are More Successful(利他型职场更具竞争力)”能概括文章内容，最适合做文章标题。故选B项。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Summer is the swimming season.

The rocket competition was about to begin, and he wanted to be sure he hadn’t left any detail unchecked. No possible fault was too small to be ignored. Nothing could threaten his winning. Always being on top, he pushed himself to remain there. Although the other kids rarely came over to him, he would never go over to them because he’d win again and they couldn’t ignore that. He opened his toolbox. Moving past various parts and tools, he took out the pieces of his launching stand and started putting it together. As he worked, he glanced at the other rockets. He noticed problems quickly: one rocket had messy areas around its stickers, and another had wings placed too high — without doubt, these rockets would fall down. One rocket, however, caught his eye. Its body shone in the sun. The painted areas were finely done, and connection between the parts was perfect. His critical eye detected that this rocket could beat his. A thin boy lifted it carefully. “Hi, my name is Ed. Nice rocket you’ve got there!” said the boy friendly. “Thanks,” Tom looked up and replied without much emotion, but then regretted it. He added, “I haven’t seen you at any of the competitions. You don’t care for these contests?” Ed said, “I never really thought about them. I keep pretty much to myself.” It was then that the announcer began explaining the rules, but Tom wasn’t paying attention. He kept staring at Ed’s rocket. Then his heart suddenly raced — Ed had no chance of winning. As Ed lifted his rocket to place it on the stand, one wing had gotten caught and was now loose. It was now fatally (致命地) weakened. But Ed hadn’t noticed. He glanced back at Tom and gave a thumbs-up sign. Though Tom felt a wave of regret, he decided not to say anything — why risk his certain victory? Then it went, one rocket after another, most gaining respectable heights, but none as high as Tom’s. Tom watched, yet the problems they had didn’t make him feel good. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 At that moment, Ed set off for the launch area with his rocket. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Ed’s rocket reached the highest. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 At that moment, Ed set off for the launch area with his rocket. Tom watched nervously, his hands sweating. Guilt washed over him like a wave. As Ed prepared to launch, Tom finally couldn’t stand it anymore. He rushed over and shouted, “Stop! Your wing is loose! It might be dangerous!” Ed looked at him in surprise, then gratitude. With Tom’s help, they quickly fixed the problem. Though it meant risking his own win, Tom felt a strange sense of relief. Ed’s rocket reached the highest. The crowd cheered wildly. Ed ran to Tom, his eyes shining with excitement. “Thank you so much! I couldn’t have done it without you,” he said, hugging Tom tightly. Tom felt a warmth spreading through his chest. For the first time, he realized that helping others brought more joy than winning alone. From that day on, Tom became friends with Ed, and they often worked on rockets together, sharing their passion and skills. 【解析】 【导语】本文以火箭比赛为线索展开，主要讲述了争强好胜的Tom在火箭比赛中发现Ed的火箭可能威胁到自己的胜利，后又发现Ed的火箭存在致命问题，在纠结后做出选择的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“就在那一刻，Ed带着火箭出发前往发射区。” 可知，第一段可描写Tom看到Ed带着有问题的火箭前往发射区时内心的纠结与挣扎，最终良心促使他上前提醒Ed，二人共同解决火箭的问题。 ②由第二段首句内容“Ed的火箭达到了最高点。”可知，第二段可描写Ed的火箭取得胜利后对Tom表示感谢，Tom在这个过程中体会到帮助他人的快乐，二人因此成为朋友并共同研究火箭。 2.续写线索：Ed带着问题火箭前往发射区——Tom内心纠结挣扎——Tom上前提醒Ed—— 二人共同修复火箭 ——Ed的火箭获胜并感谢Tom——Tom收获友谊与助人的快乐 3.词汇积累 行为类 ①冲过去：rush over/dash over/hurry over ②呼喊：shout/yell/call out ③拥抱：hug/embrace 情绪类 ①紧张地：nervously/anxiously/on edge ②感激：gratitude/appreciation/thankfulness 【点睛】【高分句型1】As Ed prepared to launch, Tom finally couldn’t stand it anymore.（运用了as引导的时间状语从句） 【高分句型2】For the first time, he realized that helping others brought more joy than winning alone.（运用了that引导的宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 鸡西市第一中学2024-2025学年度第二学期高二学年期中考试 英语学科试卷 考试时间：120分钟 分值：150分 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项，并标在试卷的相应位置。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 例：How much is the shirt？ A. f 19.15.

B A pair of red foxes playing together against a snowy backdrop and a baby polar bear bathing in brilliant sunshine surrounded by a mass of purple fireweed-both scenes are documented by two Canadian wildlife photographers. Martin Gregus and Brittany Crossman are among the 25shortlisted nominees (被提名的候选人) for this year’s Wildlife Photographer of the Year People’s Choice Award. Since he was eight years old, Gregus has been passionate about photography, working on projects with his father, who is also a photographer. In 2015, he had the opportunity to visit various areas of the Arctic (北极), where he saw polar bears in a summer climate for the first time. After that, Gregus worked to develop a relationship with the bears in this area, which he says is key to his success in photographing them. To Gregus, this nomination is more than just a physical award but a chance to connect with others in the profession and celebrate everyone’s achievements. “We live a very secluded life as wildlife photographers. You know, we give up most of our life to fiIm animals, so when we are given a chance to be around people, it’s remarkable.” Earlier in 2022, Crossman was named the Canadian Wildlife Photographer of the Year by Canadian·Geographic. Her nomination for the Wildlife Photographer of the Year People’s Choice Award, Fox affection, features two red foxes in Ontario. Now, she teaches wildlife workshops for people who are also interested in nature photography. “Right now, I have been focusing on exploring urban wildlife. I hope in the future that I will get to see other parts of the world, recording different species with my camera. In particular, I’d love to photograph brown bears on the west coast of Canada or Alaska,” Crossman says. 4. What scenes are displayed in paragraph 1? A. The harmony between humans and nature. B. The interaction among distinct species. C Impressive urban landscapes. D. Sweet moments of nature. 5. What can be learned about Gregus? A. He became known for his Fex nffection. B. He was influenced a lot by his grandfather. C. He's been into photography from a young age. D. He's been involved in bear conservation for years. 6. What does the underlined word “secluded” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Disconnected. B. Stressful. C. Uhhappy. D. Complicated. 7. What is Crossman’s wish at present? A. To spend the rest of her life in Alaska. B. To photograph animals around the world. C. To set up a wildlife workshop of her own. D. To get a decent job at Canadian Geographic. C In psychology, culture is often discussed as a fairly unique human capacity, rooted in our ability to learn from others, come up with new innovations, and pass down our knowledge across historical time. But as biologist Frans de Waal notes, the more we study other species, the less unique we appear to be. “After the apes (类人猿) break down the wall between humans and the rest of the animal kingdom, the floodgates often open to include species after species.” Planning for the future and recognizing oneself in a mirror, all of these were once thought to be cognitive (认知的) capacities that were exclusive to humans. Yet time and again, species ranging from bonobos to crows have been shown to possess these abilities as well. Some of the earliest evidence of animal culture comes from observations of songbirds. It turns out that different songs are observed in different regions. Just as humans in different regions speak different languages or dialects, so too do birds. Scientists have also observed evidence that animals may possess dietary cultures as well. One classic example comes from the observation in the 1950s of monkeys living on a Japanese island. One monkey began to wash her sweet potatoes in a nearby stream. Over time other members of the group began to copy this behavior and started washing them in the ocean, potentially to add a salty flavor. This novel way of preparing food spread through the group, learned by one generation after the next, and continued for years. And it’s not just mammals (哺乳动物) that have been shown to have the ability to puss down cultural practices. In a recent study, researchers trained a bee to pull on a string to release nectar (花蜜) from an artificial flower. The researchers then had other bees observe this behavior from a distance and found that they readily learned it as well. The authors concluded that this work was a powerful demonstration of how cultural practices are passed down among insects. 8. What does the author stress in the first paragraph? A. Culture is a unique human capacity. B. Apes differ significantly from other animals. C. Knowledge is passed down across generations D. Humans and animals share some cognitive abilities 9. Why did the monkeys wash the sweet potatoes? A To clean them. B. To improve the taste. C. To copy the behavior of other species. D. To gain attention from other group members. 10. What did the string-pulling task show? A. Bees could train each other. B. Animals could learn from observation. C. Mammals were no smarter than insects. D. Innovation spread faster among certain animals. 11. What is the best title for the text? A Do animals have culture? B. How do animals live? C. How do animals communicate? D. Do animals create rules? D A decade ago, I was advising a newly-hired chief financial officer (CFO) in chargc of 300people. I’d asked her to prepare a ninc-minutc speech and then all 300 souls gathered in thc ballroom. Unfortunately, our new CFO misplaced her purse and couldn’t find the talking points for her opening specch. So what did shc say? She talked a bit about her life and began giving credit and appreciation to he cmployces for all the fantastic work they had done. She went on to lead with empathy (共情) and kindness, and conscquently her people were energized. That was a successful speech. These days. the number of employccs who say they feel cngaged satisfied and energized at work is at a historic low. More people are leaving the corporate rat race to pursue their own entrepreneurial ventures (创业企业). So can companies maintain their top performers? Certainly they can. A study led by researcher Mei Feng from Berkeley University reveals firms with prosocial leaders perform better. Prosociality is defincd as ‌“positive” social behavior intended to promote others’ welfare. In this case, researchers categorized certain leaders as “prosocial” based on whether or not they gave credit to their employees for good performance and took responsibility themselves during poor performance. They found that companies with prosocial leaders had lower turnover among employees, more policies that are favorable to employees’ well-being and development, higher customer satisfaction ratings, higher profitability, as well as lower financial, operational and reputational risk, which suggests prosocial managers improve organizational efficiency. Berkeley’s another researcher Lalin Ank and her co-workers explored the effects of “prosocial bonuses” where employees could allocate monetary rewards to charitable donations or as gifts to co-workers. In their experiments, Belgian parmaceutical sales teams and Canadian dodgeball teams were offered either “spend it on yourself’ or ‌“spend it on your teammates” bonuses. When participants received money to spend on teammates, the team performed better than teams given funds for personal use.

The rocket competition was about to begin, and he wanted to be sure he hadn’t left any detail unchecked. No possible fault was too small to be ignored. Nothing could threaten his winning. Always being on top, he pushed himself to remain there. Although the other kids rarely came over to him, he would never go over to them because he’d win again and they couldn’t ignore that. He opened his toolbox. Moving past various parts and tools, he took out the pieces of his launching stand and started putting it together. As he worked, he glanced at the other rockets. He noticed problems quickly: one rocket had messy areas around its stickers, and another had wings placed too high — without doubt, these rockets would fall down. One rocket, however, caught his eye. Its body shone in the sun. The painted areas were finely done, and connection between the parts was perfect. His critical eye detected that this rocket could beat his. A thin boy lifted it carefully. “Hi, my name is Ed. Nice rocket you’ve got there!” said the boy friendly. “Thanks,” Tom looked up and replied without much emotion, but then regretted it. He added, “I haven’t seen you at any of the competitions. You don’t care for these contests?” Ed said, “I never really thought about them. I keep pretty much to myself.” It was then that the announcer began explaining the rules, but Tom wasn’t paying attention. He kept staring at Ed’s rocket. Then his heart suddenly raced — Ed had no chance of winning. As Ed lifted his rocket to place it on the stand, one wing had gotten caught and was now loose. It was now fatally (致命地) weakened. But Ed hadn’t noticed. He glanced back at Tom and gave a thumbs-up sign. Though Tom felt a wave of regret, he decided not to say anything — why risk his certain victory? Then it went, one rocket after another, most gaining respectable heights, but none as high as Tom’s. Tom watched, yet the problems they had didn’t make him feel good. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 At that moment, Ed set off for the launch area with his rocket. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Ed’s rocket reached the highest. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
