Everybdy is happy as his pay rises. Yet pleasure at yur wn can disappear if yu learn that a fellw wrker has been given a bigger ne. Indeed, if he is knwn as being lazy, yu might even be quite crss. Such behavir is regarded as “all t human”, with the underlying belief that ther animals wuld nt be able t have this finely develped sense f sadness. But a study by Sarah Brsnan f Emry University in Atlanta, Gergia, which has just been published in Nature, suggests that it is all t mnkey, as well.
The researchers studied the behavirs f sme kind f female brwn mnkeys. They lk smart. They are gd-natured, c-perative creatures, and they share their fd happily. Abve all, like female human beings, they tend t pay much clser attentin t the value f “gds and services” than males.
Such characteristics make them perfect subjects fr Dctr Brsnan’s study. The researchers spent tw years teaching their mnkeys t exchange tkens (獎券) fr fd. Nrmally, the mnkeys were happy enugh t exchange pieces f rck fr pieces f cucumber. Hwever, when tw mnkeys were placed in separate and cnnected rms, s that each ther culd bserve what the ther is getting in return fr its rck, they became quite different.
In the wrld f mnkeys，grapes are excellent gds (and much preferable t cucumbers). S when ne mnkey was handed a grape in exchange fr her tken, the secnd was nt willing t hand hers ver fr a mere piece f cucumber. And if ne received a grape withut having t prvide her tken in exchange at all, the ther either shk her wn tken at the researcher, r refused t accept the cucumber. Indeed, the mere presence f a grape in the ther rm (withut an actual mnkey t eat it) was enugh t bring abut dissatisfactin in a female mnkey.
The researches suggest that these mnkeys, like humans, are guided by scial senses. In the wild, they are c-perative and grup-living. Such c-peratin is likely t be firm nly when each animal feels it is nt being cheated. Feelings f anger when unfairly treated, it seems, are nt the nature f human beings alne. Refusing a smaller reward cmpletely makes these feelings clear t ther animals f the grup. Hwever, whether such a sense f fairness develped independently in mnkeys and humans, r whether it cmes frm the cmmn rts that they had 35 millin years ag, is, as yet, an unanswered questin.
1. Accrding t the passage, which f the fllwing statements is true?
A. Only mnkeys and humans can have the sense f fairness in the wrld.
B. Wmen will shw mre dissatisfactin than men when unfairly treated.
C. In the wild, mnkeys are never unhappy t share their fd with each ther.
D. Mnkeys can exchange cucumbers fr grapes, fr grapes are mre attractive.
答案解析：答案為B。本題為推斷題，考生需通讀全文進(jìn)行推斷。本文講述了當(dāng)受到不公平待遇的時候，每個人都會生氣，包括動物。但是雌性的動物比雄性的動物更加在意不公平的待遇，研究中用猴子作為實驗來證明這一點。文章中第二段 “Abve all, like female human beings, they tend t pay much clser attentin t the value f “gds and services” than males.” 與第三段 “Such characteristics make them perfect subjects fr Dctr Brsnan’s study.” 都有此表達(dá)，故答案為B “當(dāng)受到不公平待遇的時候，女性比男性更加不滿”。
從最后一段 “Refusing a smaller reward cmpletely makes these feelings clear t ther animals f the grup. Hwever, whether such a sense f fairness develped independently in mnkeys and humans, r whether it cmes frm the cmmn rts that they had 35 millin years ag, is, as yet, an unanswered questin.”中可知，independently (獨立)對應(yīng)A選項中的nly，whether…r…an unanswered questin（是否…或者…未知的問題）的表達(dá)方式與A選項的意思 “只有猴子與人類才具有公平意識” 不同，故A選項是錯誤的。
從第三段 “Nrmally, the mnkeys were happy enugh t exchange pieces f rck fr pieces f cucumber. Hwever, when tw mnkeys were placed in separate and cnnected rms, s that each ther culd bserve what the ther is getting in return fr its rck, they became quite different.”可知，猴子樂意用石塊交換黃瓜，但是當(dāng)看到另外一只猴子因為石塊得到的回報，態(tài)度就不一樣了。因此C選項 “猴子從不會不高興彼此分享食物” 與該句意思不符。
從第四段首句 “In the wrld f mnkeys，grapes are excellent gds (and much preferable t cucumbers).” 中注意 “excellent (極好的)” 與 “ preferable(更好的)” 兩詞，與D選項 “fr grapes are mre attractive（更具有吸引力的）” 意思不一致。綜上分析，A, C, D都不符合文章意思。
2. The underlined statement “it is all t mnkey” means that ________.
A. mnkeys are als angry with lazy fellws
B. feeling bitter at unfairness is als mnkey’s nature
C. mnkeys, like humans, tend t be envius f each ther
D. n animals ther than mnkeys can develp such feelings
答案解析：答案為B。本題為句意推斷題。結(jié)合文章第一段中 “all t human”前面的內(nèi)容是說當(dāng)?shù)弥獎e人懶惰卻加薪更多的時候，人人都會生氣，這是人的本能。接下來提到的 “it is all t mnkey” 也是表達(dá) “猴子受到不公平待遇的時候感到痛苦也是猴子的本能?！钡囊馑?。故答案為B。A選項 “猴子對懶惰的同伴也會生氣”, C選項 “猴子像人類一樣會彼此嫉妒”, D選項 “除了猴子沒有其他的動物會有那種感覺” 都與文章意思不符。
3. Female mnkeys f this kind are chsen fr the research mst prbably because they are ___ .
A. mre likely t weigh what they get
B. attentive t researchers’ instructins
C. nice in bth appearance and behavirs
D. mre ready t help thers than their male cmpanins
答案解析：答案為A。本題為細(xì)節(jié)推理題。從文章中第二段 “Abve all, like female human beings, they tend t pay much clser attentin t the value f “gds and services” than males.” 與第三段 “Such characteristics make them perfect subjects fr Dctr Brsnan’s study.” 可知，雌性的猴子作為實驗是因為她們比雄性的猴子更加關(guān)注 “物品與服務(wù)” 的價值。A選項 “她們更有可能掂量（weigh）她們得到的”, 與上述分析意思一致，故答案為A。B和D在文章中都未提到；C并不是根本的原因。
4. Which f the fllwing cnclusins is TRUE accrding t the passage?
A. Human beings' feelings f anger are develped frm the mnkeys.
B. In the research, male mnkeys are less likely t exchange fd with thers.
C. C-peratin between mnkeys stays firm befre the realizatin f being cheated.
D. Only mnkeys and humans have the sense f fairness which dates back t 35 millin years ag.
答案解析：答案為C。本題為細(xì)節(jié)理解題。從文章最后一段 “Such c-peratin is likely t be firm nly when each animal feels it is nt being cheated.” 可知，只有當(dāng)每個動物感覺沒有被欺騙的時候合作的態(tài)度才是堅定的”, C選項的意思 “意識到被欺騙之前猴子之間的合作非常堅定” 與上述分析一致。解答此題注意同義句的轉(zhuǎn)換表達(dá)。A, B, D 與文章意思不符合。
5. What can we infer abut the mnkeys in Sarah’s study?
A. The mnkeys can be trained t develp scial senses.
B. They usually shw their feelings penly as humans d.
C. The mnkeys may shw their satisfactin with equal treatment.
D. C-peratin amng the mnkeys remains effective in the wild.
答案解析：答案為C。本題為推斷題。文章中說，猴子受到不公平待遇的時候會生氣，這句話的意思就是C選項的表達(dá) “猴子受到公平待遇的時候會滿意”，故答案為C。解答此題仍然要注意推理題設(shè)置的技巧：用不同的表達(dá)方式來表達(dá)同樣的意思。
從文章最后一段 “The researches suggest that these mnkeys, like humans, are guided by scial senses. In the wild, they are c-perative and grup-living.” 可知，猴子自身就有社會意識，而不是通過訓(xùn)練獲得，故A錯誤。B，D在文章中未提及。
