7、and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center.11 I doubt that any historically valid treatment of that presidential administration can emerge for at least another decade, if then. I confess that when I came out of the White House I signed up to do an “insider volume“

8、, but sober, professional second thoughts have led me to put that project on ice until at least 1980. The problem is that I simultaneously know too much, and not enough. I know what I thought was happening. But I cannot fully document what happened. And I have seen enough highly classified documents

9、 to know that most of what the observers thought was happening was at best half right, at worst dead wrong. This has steered me in a different direction as far as writing is concerned. I am now preparing what is frankly and unashamedly an ex parte memoir, “My Experiences in Washington“. It is based

10、on what I believed to be tree, on the picture as I conceptualized it, of the presidential administration under which I worked.11 According to the speaker, the problem with “insider volumes“ is that they _.（A）tell things that should not be told（B） lack historical perspective（C） are too sensational（D）

11、often intentionally distort the troth12 When the speaker says that he “put that project on ice“, he means that he _.（A）put it in the refrigerator（B） gave up on it completely（C） took a rather cold attitude towards it（D）put it aside until later13 When the speaker says that he simultaneously knew “too

12、much, and not enough“, he means that he was _.（A）more perceptive than others who were involved at this time（B） too close to the events to see them objectively（C） unable to see any significance in current events（D）confused by the number of important events that were taking place14 The speakers experi

13、ence in reading classified documents made him realize that _.（A）others had been mistaken in interpreting events that they had observed（B） others knew more about current events than he did（C） he was the only responsible person who knew the truth about government affairs（D）he was a more impartial obse

14、rver than anyone else in the government15 According to the speaker, “My Experiences in Washington“ will deal with _.（A）secret documents never before released to the public（B） an “insiders“ conceptualization of the governments failures（C） his personal view of that presidential era（D）the administrativ

15、e problems of the president16 Everybody loves a fat pay rise. Yet pleasure at your own can vanish if you learn that a colleague has been given a bigger one. Indeed, if he has a reputation for slacking, you might even be outraged. Such behaviour is regarded as “all too human“, with the underlying ass

16、umption that other animals would not be capable of this finely developed sense of grievance. But a study by Sarah Brosnan and Frans de Waal of Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia, which has just been published in Nature, suggests that it all too monkey, as wellThe researchers studied the behaviour

17、of female brown capuchin monkeys. They look cute. They are good-natured, co-operative creatures, and they share their food tardily. Above all, like their female human counterparts, they tend to pay much closer attention to the value of “goods and services“ than males. Such characteristics make them

18、perfect candidates for Dr. Brosnans and Dr. Dewaals study. The researchers spent two years teaching their monkeys to exchange tokens for food. Normally, the monkeys were happy enough to exchange pieces of rock for slices of eucumber. However, when two monkeys were placed in sepa rate but adjoining c

19、hambers, so that each could observe what the other was getting in return for its rock, their became markedly different.In the world of capuchins grapes are luxury goods (and much preferable to cucumbers). So when one monkey was handed a grape in exchange for her token, the second was reluctant to ha

20、nd hers over for a mere piece of cucumber. And if one received a grape without having to provide her token in exchange at all, the other either tossed her own token at the researcher or out of the chamber, or refused to; accept the slice of cu cumber indeed, the mere presence of a grape in the other

21、 chamber (without an actual monkey to eat it) was enough to reduce resentment in a female capuchin.The researches suggest that capuchin monkeys, like humans, are guided by social emotions. In the wild, they are a co-operative, groupliving species. Such co-operation is likely to be stable only when e

22、ach animal feels it is not being cheated. Feelings of righteous indignation, it seems, are not the preserve of people alone. Refusing a lesser reward completely makes these feelings abundantly clear to other members of the group. However, whether such a sense of fairness evolved independently in cap

23、uchins and humans, or whether it stems form the common ancestor that the species had 35 million years ago, is, as yet, an unanswered question.16 In the opening paragraph, the author introduces his topic by_（A）posing a contrast.（B） justifying an assumption.（C） making a comparison.（D）explaining a phen

24、omenon.17 The statement “it is all too monkey“(Last line, Paragraph 1) implies that_（A）monkeys are also outraged by slack rivals.（B） resenting unfairness is also monkeys nature.（C） monkeys, like humans, tend to be jealous of each other.（D）no animals other than monkeys can develop such emotions.18 Fe

25、male capuchin monkeys were chosen for the research most probably because they are_（A）more inclined to weigh what they get.（B） attentive to researchers instructions.（C） nice in both appearance and temperament.（D）more generous than their male companions19 Dr. Brosnan and Dr. Dewaal have eventually fou

26、nd in their study that the monkeys_（A）prefer grapes to cucumbers.（B） can be taught to exchange things.（C） will not be co-operative ii feeling cheated.（D）are unhappy when separated from others.20 What can we infer from the last paragraph?（A）Monkeys can be trained to develop social emotions.（B） Human

27、indignation evolved from an uncertain source.（C） Animals usually show their feelings openly as humans do.（D）Cooperation among monkeys remains stable only in the wild.20 Nonverbal (非语言的) communication has to do with gestures, movements and closeness of two people when they are talking. The scientists

28、 say that those gestures. movements and so on have meaning which words do not carry.For example, the body distance between two speakers can be important. North Americans often complain that South Americans are unfriendly because they tend to stand close to the North American when speaking, while the

29、 South American often considers the North American to be “cold“ or “distant“ because he keeps a greater distance between himself and the person he is speaking to. The “eye contact“ provides another example of what we are calling nonverbal communication. Scientists have observed that there is more ey

30、e contact between people who like each other than there is between people who dont like each other. The length of time that the person whom you are speaking to looks at your eyes indicates the amount of interest he has in the things you are talking about.On the other hand, too long a gaze can make p

31、eople uncomfortable. The eyes apparently play a great part in nonverbal communication. Genuine warmth or interest, shyness or confidence can often be seen in the eyes. We do not always consider a smile to be a sign of friendliness. Someone who is always smiling, and with little apparent reasons, oft

32、en makes us uneasy.21 According to the passage, nonverbal communication _.（A）is a method often used by people who cannot speak（B） can tell something that words cannot（C） can be used to talk with people who cannot bear（D）is less used than words22 The South American _.（A）tends to keep a distance betwe

34、he more interest he has in you.（C） There is more eye contact between people who like each other.（D）Shorter eye contact shows more interest in what one is talking about.24 Too long a gaze _.（A）may upset people being looked at（B） shows ones great confidence（C） indicates ones interest in the talk（D）tel
