    在2010年以前,考研英语是不分考研英语一和考研英语二的,但并不意味着2010年以前的英语真题可以不用刷,每一年的真题都有自己的价值,而且真题价值的大小远超模拟。以下是2005考研英语阅读理解Text 1真题附答案详解的内容。
  Text 1

  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 assumption 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 is all too monkey,as well.

  The researchers studied the behaviour of female brown capuchin monkeys.They look cute.They are good-natured,co-operative creatures,and they share their food readily.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 perfect candidates for Dr.Brosnan’s and Dr.de Waal’s 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 cucumber.However,when two monkeys were placed in separate but adjoining chambers,so that each could observe what the other was getting in return for its rock,their behaviour 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 hand 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 cucumber.Indeed,the mere presence of a grape in the other chamber(without an actual monkey to eat it)was enough to induce resentment in a female capuchin.

  The researchers suggest that capuchin monkeys,like humans,are guided by social emotions.In the wild,they are a co-operative,group-living species.Such co-operation is likely to be stable only when each 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 capuchins and humans,or whether it stems from the common ancestor that the species had 35 million years ago,is,as yet,an unanswered question.

  21.In the opening paragraph,the author introduces his topic by ________.

  [A]posing a contrastjustifying an assumption

  [C]making a comparison[D]explaining a phenomenon

  22.The statement“it is all too monkey”(Last line,Paragraph l)implies that ________.

  [A]monkeys are also outraged by slack rivalsresenting 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

  23.Female capuchin monkeys were chosen for the research most probably because they are ________.

  [A]more inclined to weigh what they getattentive to researchers’instructions

  [C]nice in both appearance and temperament[D]more generous than their male companions

  24.Dr.Brosnan and Dr.de Waal have eventually found in their study that the monkeys ________.

  [A]prefer grapes to cucumberscan be taught to exchange things

  [C]will not be co-operative if feeling cheated[D]are unhappy when separated from others

  25.What can we infer from the last paragraph?

  [A]Monkeys can be trained to develop social emotions.

  [B]Human 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.
答案解析

  文章是讲猴子有一种天然的公平意识,文章本身难度不是太大,一开始做了一个类比,讲人的公平意识。这篇对比性的文章两个方面要理解,第一:人类和猴子之间都有一种近似的表现,当受到不公正待遇的时候,都有义愤填膺的感觉,如果把握这个逻辑,就是类比的逻辑。第二:最后两段关于选择实验的对象以及实验的结果。

  21题,我们应该选择C,考察第一段的写作手法,明显用的是猴和人之间的相似形的比较关系。

  22题答案是B,也是在把猴子和人做类比,指出猴子与人一样都抱怨不公平。

  23题答案选A,这个是事实细节题,答案是根据文章第三段第一句话得到的,雌性的猴子被选择做研究,是因为她们更加注重她们获得的东西。

  24题答案选择C,他们最终的发现是什么,篇章最后两段反复重复,如果没有受到公平的话。

  25题选择B。这篇文章第一段和最后一段都出现一个词,“假设”为什么猴和人都有这种心理反应,这个问题没有得以解决。
