(2009年合肥第二次检测) Children become more generous as they get older，learning the principles of equality by the age of eight.That may not be too surprising to anyone who has kids.
Humans are born with a sense of fairness that most other animals seem not to share，but it’s not been clear exactly when this concept starts to devel op.
Dr.Alva Zhao and her colleagues conducted a series of tests to measure just how much children care about equality at different ages.In three different versions of a game，children were asked to choose between two ways of sharing a number of sweets with themselves and an unfamiliar partner.They could choose，for example，between oneformeandoneforyou，orjusthavingoneforthemselves.
At the age of three，children were “almost completely selfish〞，says Zhao.
They refused to give sweets away even if it made no difference to themselves.But by the age of eight，children generally preferred the fair option，sharing a prize equally rather than keeping it all to themselves.
Several other factors influenced how fair the children were.The team found that children without brothers or sisters were 28% more likely to share than children with brothers or sisters.On the other hand，the youngest children in a family were 17% less willing to share than children who had only younger brother or sister.
In addition，if children knew that their partner was from the same playgroup or school，they were more concerned about being fair.This suggests that being nice to people you know is something that develops a sense of equality.
1．The main idea of the first paragraph is________.
A．parents know clearly when their kids are more willing to share
B．the kids’ willingness of sharing is learned from their family
C．the older the kids are，the more selfish they will become
D．kids become more generous when they reach a certain age
2．The tests conducted by Dr.Alva Zhao and her colleagues were aimed at________.
A．how kids develop a quality of fairness in games
B．children’s awareness of equality at different ages
C．the reasons why children care about equality
D．children’s attitudes towards other partners
3．Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A．Children under three know little about being fair.
B．Children above eight years old become less selfish.
C．Children with brothers or sisters tend to be more generous.
D．The youngest child in a family tends to be less generous.
4．We can learn that children care more about equality while with________.
A．unknown people B．nice people
C．familiar people D．fair people
(2009年宜昌第一次调研，A) The United Nations says more than 900 million people worldwide do not have enough to eat.Officials say 100 million more could go hungry this year because of the food and financial crises.
To deal with the situation，the UN World Food Program has started a project to help small farmers.These farmers are mainly women.Many cannot produce enough food even to feed and support their own families.
The new effort is called Purchase for Progress，or P4P.It aims to connect local farmers with dependable markets.That way，they could get a chance to sell their surplus (剩余) at competitive prices.P4P will be tested in as many as 21 countries during the next five years.
The biggest contributor to the project is Bill Gates，through the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.Another donor (捐款者) is the Howard Buffett Foundation，led by a son of the American investor Warren Buffett.The government of Belgium is also supporting the project in a former colony (殖民地)，now the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Together these donors have provided more than 76 million dollars for projects in Africa and Central America.
Purchase for Progress will work with United Nations agencies，governments and non­governmental organizations to help increase crop production.The World Bank Group and other partners are to help train farmers in better crop management and marketing skills.
The World Food Program says it expects to buy 40,000 tons of food in the first year using methods carried out by the project.That will be enough to feed 250,000 people.
P4P is expected to develop food cooperatives and long­term agreements for buying corn，wheat and other food crops.About 350,000 farmers could be assisted.
Officials say the project will change the way the World Food Program buys food in developing countries.Executive Director Josette Sheeran says this is the first time her agency will buy a large amount of food from small farmers.The agency has traditionally bought most of its food from developing countries，but through larger trading organizations.
5．From the passage，we know that________.
A．in all 900 million people worldwide lack food
B．a project has been started to help women farmers
C．there are only two donors to help the project
D．some farmers still cannot support their families
6．According to the passage，________will work hard to deal with the situation.
A．the United Nations
B．the combined efforts
C．some governments
D．some non­governmental organizations
7．Which of the following will NOT be done to help small farmers?
A．To donate money.
B．To reform the way of food purchase.
C．To provide them with food.
D．To buy a large amount of food from them.
8．What’s the best title for this passage?
A．Project to Help Small Farmers
B．Contribution to Small Farmers
C．Food Problems
D．P4P Is Being Carried Out
答案：
Ⅰ.单项填空
1．B 考查动词辨析。

根据空格后的of，可知选B。

approve of同意；赞成。

agree 同意，赞成；support支持；assess评估，评定。

2．A 句意为：你在指责我向校长撒谎吗？accuse sb.of (doing) sth.指责，控告某人(做)某事。

scold sb.for sth.因……而指责某人；remind sb.of sth.使某人想起某事；tell sb.of sth.告诉某人关于某事。

3．C 考查倒装语序。

以否认副词开头 (不修饰主语)的句子要用局部倒装语序。

此题干句中Not only...分句，用局部倒装语序，所以C项正确。

4．B 此题考查短语辨析。

other than除……之外，通常用于否认句中；rather than 而不是；more than (程度上)更强；更多；except for除……之外。

结合语境应选B。

5．B intention企图，意图。

6．C 句意表示更准确地预测地震。

句中become是系动词，后需接形容词作表语，排除A项。

B项“正确的〞，D项“有意识的〞，两项均不符合语境。

7．D 题意为：当然，我们要刻苦努力，但“同时 (meanwhile)〞，我们要学会照顾好自己。

8．D 根据前面的so much noise可知不能集中精力，故排除A。

pay attention to 注意，be absorbed in “专注于〞虽然意思上说得通，但是不能和on搭配，只有concentrate one’s attention on 适合。

9．D 在do nothing but...结构以与can’t...but...(but前动词是do或help)结构中，but 后接省略to的动词不定式。

如：She can’t do anything but ask silly questions.I can’t help but be sorry.而其他情况下but后的to一般不省略，如此题。

10．C delight的意思是“使……高兴〞，与teacher之间存在着动宾关系，故用过去分词作原因状语。

11．C 句意为：她盼望着他回来就如同他盼望着看到她一样。

look forward to中的to为介词，跟动词时要用动名词形式。

12．B if条件句中可以用be to结构表示按事态开展，最终会……，或注定会……。

句意为：在如此激烈的竞争下，一个人要想成功，就必须竭尽全力。

13．D defend...against...意为“防卫……以免于〞。

14．B cover在题中意为“报道〞，符合语境。

interview意为“采访；访问〞，多用于interview sb.about sth.结构。

15．A be supposed to意为“应当〞，与不定式完成时连用时表示“理应做过某事 (但可能没有做)〞，有虚拟的含义。

Ⅱ.阅读理解
【语篇解读】文章介绍人类天生的一种特性——力求公平，研究人员通过实验发现三岁时小孩完全自私，到了一定年龄就逐步显露出与人分享的天性。

1．D 归纳段落大意题。

第一句话即该段的主题句：孩子到了一定年龄 (8岁)后就变得更加慷慨大方。

2．B 细节把握题。

根据第三段第一句话“Dr.Alva Zhao and her colle agues conducted a series of test to measure just how much children care about quality at different ages〞可以推断Alva博士和她的助手进展测试的目的在于了解孩子在不同年龄对平等意识的表现程度。

3．C 细节把握题。

根据倒数第二段第二句话“The team found that children without
brothers or sisters were 28%more likely to share than children with brothers or sisters〞可以看出有兄弟姐妹的孩子更倾向于慷慨，和短文表示内容相反。

4．C 细节把握题。

根据短文最后一段可判断小孩子和熟悉的人在一起更关注平等。

5．D 细节理解题。

由“more than 900 million people〞一句可判断选项A错误；根据第二段“a project to help small farmers.These farmers are mainly women〞可判断选项B错误；文章的第四段提到三个赞助者：Bill Gates，the Howard Buffett Foundation 和比利时政府，因此可判断选项C错误。

根据第二段的最后一句可判断选项D正确。

6．B 推理判断题。

根据第六段的内容可知，联合国机构、一些政府和非政府机构共同致力于增加粮食产量。

7．C 推理判断题。
