主要介绍的是通过实验对比了黑猩猩与人类在相互帮助的本能方面的巨大不同。
黑猩猩除了在某些方面偶尔合作外,在其他方面都是各顾各的,非常自私,而人却从小就知道帮助他人,善于与他人合作,这是人类独有的天性。

B.Chimpstendtoprovidefoodfortheirchildren.
C.Chimpsliketotakeintheirneighbors’food.
D.Chimpsnaturallysharefoodwitheachother.
答案 A
解析 细节理解题。
根据第一、二段可知,黑猩猩很少关心其他的黑猩猩,比如第二段中的例子:
随意吃邻居盘子里的食物,根本不关心邻居是否有东西吃,再结合第二段最后一句“Chimpsaretrulyselfish.”,可知与A项说法一致。
59.MichaelTomasello’stestsonyoungchildrenindicatethatthey.
A.havetheinstincttohelpothers
B.knowhowtoofferhelptoadults

D.trustadultswiththeirhandsfull
答案 A
解析 细节理解题。
根据第三段中的“Humanchildren,ontheotherhand,arenaturallycooperative.Fromtheearliestages,theydesiretohelpothers...”可知,人类的孩子有帮助他人的本能。
60.Thepassageismainlyabout.
A.thehelpingbehaviorsofyoungchildren
B.waystotrainchildren’ssharedintentionality
C.cooperationasadistinctivehumannature
D.thedevelopmentofintelligenceinchildren
答案 C
解析 主旨大意题。
通读全文可知,通过实验,发现黑猩猩没有相互帮助的本能,非常自私,而人类却从小就知道帮助他人,善于与他人合作,这是人类独有的天性。
故C项为最佳答案。
C
