共用题干第一篇Human EvolutionBeing a man has always been dangerous.There are about 105 males born for every 100 females, but this ratio drops to near balance at the age of maturity,and among 70-year-old there are twice as many women as men. But the great universal of male mortality is being changed.Now,boy babies survive almost as well as girls do. This means that,for the first time,there will be an excess of boys in those crucial years when they are searching for a mate. More important,another chance for natural selection has been removed. Fifty years ago,the chance of a baby(particularly a boy baby)surviving depended on its weight. A kilogram too light or too heavy meant almost certain death.Today it makes almost no difference.Since much of the variation is due to genes,one more agent of evolution has gone.There is another way to commit evolutionary suicide:stay alive,but have fewer children.Few people are as fertile as in the past. Except in some religious communities,very few women have 15 children.Nowadays the number of births,like the age of death,has become average.Most of us have roughly the same number of offspring. Again,differences between people and the opportunity for natural selection to take advantage of it have diminished.India shows what is happening. The country offers wealth for a few in the great cities and poverty for the remaining tribal peoples.The grand mediocrity of today一everyone being the same in survival and number of offspring means that natural selection has lost 80%of its power in upper-middle一class India compared to the tribes.For us,this means that evolution is over;the biological Utopia has arrived.Strangely,it has involved little physical change.No other species fills so many places in nature.But in the past 100,000 years一even the past 100 years一our lives have been transformed but our bodies have not. We did not evolve,because machines and society did it for us.Darwin had a phrase to describe those ignorant of evolution:"they look at an organic being as savage looks at a ship,as at something wholly beyond his comprehension."No doubt we will remember a 20th century way of life beyond comprehension for its ugliness. But however amazed our descendants may be at how far from Utopia we were,they will look just like us.What does the example of India illustrate?A:Wealthy people tend to have fewer children than poor people.B:Natural selection hardly works among the rich and the poor.C:The middle class population is 80%smaller than that of the tribes.D:India is one of the countries with a very high birth rate.

共用题干FriendshipFriends play an important part in our lives,and although we may take the fact of friendship for granted,we often don't clearly understand how we make friends.While we get on well with a number of people,we are usually friends with only a very few一for example,the average among students is about 6 per person.Moreover,a great many relationships come under the blanket term"friendship".In all cases,two people like each other and enjoy being together,but beyond that,the degree of intimacy between them and the reasons for their mutual interest vary enormously.Initially,much depends on how people meet,and on favourable first impressions.As we get to know people,we take into account things like age,race,physical attractiveness,economic and social status,and intelligence.Although these factors are not of prime importance,it is more difficult to relate to people when there is a marked difference in age and background.On a more immediate level,we are sensitive to actual behaviour,facial expression, and tone of voice.Friends will stand closer together and will spend more time looking at each other than mere acquaintances.Smiles and soft voices also express friendliness,and it is because they may transmit the wrong signals that shy people often have difficulty in making friends.A friendly gaze with the wrong facial expression can turn into an aggressive stare,and nervousness may be misread as hostility.People who do not look one in the eye are mistrusted when,in fact,they simply lack confidence.Some relationships thrive on argument and discussion,but it is usual for close friends to have similar ideas and beliefs,to have attitudes and interests in common一they often talk about"being on the same wavelength".It generally takes time to reach this point; sometimes people"click"immediately.The more intimately involved people become, the more they rely on one another.People want to do friends favours and hate to let them down.Equally,friends have to learn to make allowances for each other,to put up with irritating habits,and to tolerate differences of opinion.Imagine going camping with someone you occasionally meet for a drink!In contrast with marriage,there are no friendship ceremonies,no rituals to strengthen the association between two people.But the mutual support and understanding that results from shared experiences and emotions does seem to create a powerful bond,which can overcome differences in background,and break down barriers of age,class or race. The degree of intimacy between friends is largely determined by their social status.A:Right B:Wrong C:Not mentioned

Cats are creatures of habit.They like to go to sleep about the same time every day and for a certain length of time.They seem to have a natural clock inside them that tells them when to sleep.Cats increase their regular sleep with occasional cat naps（打盹）.Some experts feel that humans could also benefit from this habit.Cat naps help to build up energy in the body.They are also a good way to get rid of trouble!Since cats have the same moods（情绪）as humans,some experts behave that people can improve their moods.People might become happier.A number of famous people have copied cats by taking cat naps during the day.The naps would usually last from 15 to 30 minutes.Winston Churchill took cat naps.So did Presidents Harry Truman,John F.Kennedy and Lyndon B.Johnson.These famous men were known for their energy.They were also able to work long hours,often into the night.Napping was their secret.Perhaps more people learn from cats and take naps to feel better and live longer!This selection was probably written to__________.A.show how lazy cats areB.talk about the habits of catsC.tell about famous people and their habitsD.persuade people to take naps
