【文章大意】本文主要讲述了与达尔文的“适者生存论”相反的howtreesocietieswork这一新发现。

29.Theunderlinedsentence“theoppositeistrue”inParagraph2probablymeansthattrees　　　.

A.competeforsurvival

B.protecttheirownwealth

C.dependoneachother

D.providesupportfordyingtrees

文中第二段提到CharlesDarwinthoughtthattreesarecompetingforsurvivalofthefittest（达尔文的适者生存）,而UBCProfessorSimard却认为“正好相反”,下文接着论述树木是如何相互依赖以达到生存目的的。

故C项表述正确。

30.“Mothertrees”areextremelyimportantbecausethey　　　.

A.lookthelargestinsizeintheforest

B.passonnutritiontoyoungtrees

C.seemmorelikelytobecutdownbyhumans

D.knowmoreaboutthecomplex“treesocieties”

根据文章第四段中的Simardtalksabout“mothertrees”,usuallythelargestandoldestplantsonwhichallothertreesdepend.可知,mothertrees是其他树木的依靠,下文接着提到...howdyingtreespassonthewealthtothenextgeneration,transportingimportantmineralstoyoungtreessotheymaycontinuetogrow.故B项“给幼树提供营养”正确。

词义猜测题。

“Wedidn’ttakeanynoticeofit,”Simardsayssadly.是对上面一个段落中提到的mothertrees如何传递营养给幼树的一个解释和说明,是承接上段的内容,故it指的是“树木家族如何运转、传递营养”这一内容。

A.ThedesignofDr.Carter’sresearch.

B.TheresultsofDr.Carter’sresearch.

C.ThepurposeofDr.Carter’sresearch.

段落大意题。

通过第一段最后一句“Toworkouthowbraveoranxiousthebaboonswere,Dr.Carterpresentedthemeitherwithanovelfoodorathreatintheformofamodelofapoisonoussnake.”可知第一段主要论述了Dr.Carter进行的研究计划。

60.Accordingtotheresearch,whichbaboonsaremorelikelytocompleteanewlearningtask?

A.Thosethathavemoreexperience.

B.Thosethatcanavoidpotentialrisks.

C.Thosethatliketoworkindependently.

D.Thosethatfeelanxiousaboutlearning.

根据第三段第二句“Theanxiousindividualslearntthetaskbyobservingotherswhilethosewhowererelaxeddidnot,eventhoughtheyspentmoretimewatching.”可知选择Thosethatfeelanxiousaboutlearning。

61.Whichbestillustratesthe“mismatch”mentionedinParagraph4?

A.Somebaboonsareintelligentbutslowinlearning.

B.Somebaboonsareshybutactiveinsocialactivities.

C.Somebaboonsobserveothersbutdon’tfollowthem.

D.Somebaboonsperformnewtasksbutdon’tconcentrate.

根据第四段第一句得知这种mismatch的行为应在上文第三段已经提及,因此可以定位到第三段“Theanxiousindividualslearntthetaskbyobservingotherswhilethosewhowererelaxeddidnot,eventhoughtheyspentmoretimewatching.”所以答案选C。

62.Dr.Carter’sfindingsindicatethatourculturemightbeformedthrough　　　.

C.understandingdifferentpeople

D.travellingbetweensocialgroups

根据最后一段最后一句可知文化是人们在相互学习、交流中形成的。
