A.Theywerenotsmall.

B.Theywereverytall.

C.Theywere30inchestall.

D.Theywere36inchestall.

答案:D

解析:細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)"ThisFloresHuman?wasthreefeettallandherbrainwassmaller...”看出這

些矮人有三英尺高，一英尺等于12英寸。

2.Accordingtothepassage,t6FloresHuman“.

A.livedapartlyhumanlife

B.wasabranchofHomosapiens

C.usedtoolsbeforeHomosapiensarrived

D.hadabrainasacommonchimp's

答案:c

解析:推理判斷題。由“Itwasamajorsurprisetofindtoolsassociatedwiththenewhumanfamily

member.Thetools...forthetools.”推出C項(xiàng)正確。

3.Theunderlinedpart“thistinyhuman“inParagraph2refersto.

A.achimpB.FloresHuman

C.HomosapiensD.Homoerectus

答案:B

解析:詞義猜測(cè)題。從"adwarfed（矮個(gè)的）'humanbeing'...This'FloresHuman'thistiny

humanmadethetools,thentheinsidestructure（結(jié)構(gòu)）ofitsbrainmusthavebeenmorelikeourownthana

B.thelanguageusedby"FloresHuman^^

C.theevolutionof“FloresHuman”

D.themajorsurprisingfindingsabout"FloresHuman^^

方面。

5.Accordingtothepassage,itisbelievedthat"FloresHuman^^.

A.wasdwarfedbyitsenemies

B.coulduselanguage

為，說明"FloresHuman''能夠使用語言。

A.Chimpsseldomcareaboutothers'interests.

B.Chimpstendtoprovidefoodfortheirchildren.

C.Chimpsliketotakeintheirneighbors,food.

D.Chimpsnaturallysharefoodwitheachother.

答案:A

角翠析:細(xì)節(jié)理解題o根據(jù)第二段的"Chimpsdon'tnaturallysharefoodeither”以及"hejustdoesn'tcare

whetherhisneighborgetsfedornot.”可知，黑猩猩天生不會(huì)共享食物，它從不關(guān)心鄰居同伴的饑飽和利

益。故選A項(xiàng)。

7.MichaelTomasello?stestsonyoungchildrenindicatethatthey.

A.havetheinstincttohelpothers

B.knowhowtoofferhelptoadults

C.knowtheworldbetterthanchimps

D.trustadultswiththeirhandsfull

答案:A

解析:推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段的“Hefindsthatifbabiesaged18monthsseeanunrelatedadultwith

hands...trytohelp”可知,Michael發(fā)現(xiàn),18個(gè)月大的嬰兒看見一個(gè)和自己毫不相干的人雙手拿著東西去

開門時(shí)，他們會(huì)馬上去幫忙。這個(gè)實(shí)驗(yàn)表明，小孩子有幫助他人的本能。故選A項(xiàng)。

8.Thepassageismainlyabout.

A.thehelpingbehaviorsofyoungchildren

B.waystotrainchildren?ssharedintentionality

C.cooperationasadistinctivehumannature

D.thedevelopmentofintelligenceinchildren

答案:C

解析:主旨大意題。文章通過實(shí)驗(yàn)表明，幫助他人和相互合作是人的本性，而非后天習(xí)得的。選項(xiàng)A:

小孩子的助人為樂行為只是Michael實(shí)驗(yàn)的一部分，以此來得出結(jié)論;選項(xiàng)B“培養(yǎng)孩子的分享意識(shí)的

方法”和選項(xiàng)D“孩子的智力發(fā)展”在文中都沒有提及。故選C項(xiàng)。
