2.The baby monkey is much more developed at birth than the human baby.Almost from the moment it is born,the baby monkey can move around and hold tightly to its mother.During the first few days of its life the baby will approach and hold onto almost any large,warm,and soft object in its environment,particularly if that object also gives it milk.After a week or so,however,the baby monkey begins to avoid newcomers and focuses its attentions on"mother"-the real mother or the mother-substitute (母亲替代物).
During the first two weeks of its life warmth is perhaps the most important psychological thing that a monkey mother has to give to its baby.The Harlows,a couple who are both psychologists,discovered this fact by offering baby monkeys a choice of two types of mother-substitutes-one covered with cloth and one made of bare wire.If the two artificial mothers were both the same temperature,the little monkeys always preferred the cloth mother.However,if the wire model was heated,while the cloth model was cool,for the first two weeks after birth the baby monkeys picked the warm wire mother-substitutes as their favorites.Thereafter they switched and spent most of their time on the more comfortable cloth mother.
Why is cloth preferable to bare wire?Something that the Harlows called contact (接触) comfort seems to be the answer,and a most powerful influence it is.Baby monkeys spend much of their time rubbing against their mothers'skins,putting themselves in as close contact with the parent as they can.Whenever the young animal is frightened,disturbed,or annoyed,it typically rushes to its mother and rubs itself against her body.Wire doesn't"rub"as well as does soft wire cloth.Prolonged (长时间的)"contact comfort"with a cloth mother appears to give the babies confidence and is much more rewarding to them than is either warmth or milk.
According to the Harlows,the basic quality of a baby's love for its mother is trust.If the baby is put into an unfamiliar playroom without its mother,the baby ignores the toys no matter how interesting they might be.It screams in terror and curls up into a furry little ball.If its cloth mother is now introduced into the playroom,the baby rushes to it and holds onto it for dear life.After a few minutes of contact comfort,it obviously begins to feel more secure.It then climbs down from the mother-substitute and begins to explore the toys,but often rushes back for a deep embrace (拥抱) as if to make sure that its mother is still there and that all is well.Bit by bit its fears of the new environment are gone and it spends more and more time playing with the toys and less and less time holding on to its"mother."

分析 本文是一篇实验报告.作者通过一系列的举例旨在告诉读者实验中幼猴对妈妈的依赖.

解答 50.答案:A.细节理解题.根据第二段中的第一句"During the first two weeks of its life warmth is perhaps the most important psychological(心理的)thing…"可知,出生后的前两周里,幼猴心理上最需要的是温暖.
51.答案:D.细节理解题.第三段中的第一句"Why is cloth preferable to bare wire?"是本段的主题句.整个段落解释了"为什么出生两周后的猴子更喜欢布妈妈".根据第三段的第二句"Something that the Harlows called contact(接触)comfort seems to be the answer…"可知,布妈妈接触起来更舒适.
52.答案:C.细节理解题.根据第三段中的最后一句"Prolonged(长时间的)‘contact comfort'with a cloth mother appears to give the babies confidence…"可知,长时间与布妈妈接触会给幼猴信心.
53.答案:D.推理判断题.根据最后一段If its cloth mother is now introduced into the playroom,the baby rushes to it and holds onto it for dear life.After a few minutes of contact comfort,it obviously begins to feel more secure.的叙述可知,当幼猴看到布妈妈后,它会觉得有安全感,从而在行为上会放松,从而越来越喜欢玩玩具,而减少与"母亲"接触的时间.
54.答案:B.主旨大意题.通读文章可知,本文旨在告诉读者实验中关于幼猴对妈妈依赖的发现.

点评 做这类题要熟悉科普类文章的结构特点.这类阅读理解材料一般不给标题,导语一般位于整篇文章的首段.背景交待一个事实的起因.主体则对导语概括的事实进行详细叙述,这一部分命题往往最多,因此,阅读时要把这部分作为重点.结尾往往也是中心思想的概括,并与导语相呼应.

10.Imagination and fantasy can play an important role in achieving the things we fear.Children know this very well.Fred Epstein,in his book If I Make It to Five,tells a story he heard from one of friends about Tom,a four-year-old boy with a cancer in his back bone.He came through several operations and a lot of pain by mastering his imagination.
Tom loved to pretend,and he particularly loved to play superheroes.Dr.Epstein explained that it was actually a brilliant way for his young mind to handle the terrifying and painful life he led.
The day before his third trip to the operating room,Tom was terribly afraid."Maybe I could go as Superman,"he whispered to his mom.Hearing this,the mother hesitated for a while.She had avoided buying the expensive costume (戏装),but finally she agreed.
The next day Tom appeared as the powerful Superman,showing off through the hospital halls and coolly waving his hand to the people greeting him along the way.And Tom,with the strength of his fantasy,successfully made it through the operation.
The power of imagination need not be reserved for children only.we all have the power to use our fantasies to attempt things we never thought possible,to go through those things that seem impossible,and to achieve what we never believed we could.Just as Dr.Epstein puts it,"If you can dream it,you can do it."
It doesn't mean that you should dress as a superhero for your next job interview.But,next time you are tested in a way that seems impossible,imagine what it would take to overcome it.Become the person you need to become to win over your challenge and do it in your mind first.So,let your imagination run wild,and dare to dream.
