Some chimpanzees seem to react like humans in the face of a fellow chimp’s death, two new studies have found. Chimps appear to comfort the dying, experience sadness at death and have trouble letting go. In one study, researchers at the University of Stirling and at Blair Drummond Safari Park in Britain watched how three chimpanzees reacted as a fourth chimp, an elderly female named Pansy, sickened and died. Park officials had separated Pansy from the other chimpanzees for treatment when she became ill in November 2008. But when her breathing became irregular a few weeks later, the other three chimps were allowed to join her. In the 10 minutes before she died, the three animals – an elderly female named Blossom, Blossom’s adult son Chippy and Pansy’s adult daughter Rosie – frequently groomed (梳理毛发) and touched Pansy. They stood in close, and Chippy shook her arm, apparently testing for signs of life. When they got no reaction, “they appeared to arrive at a decision that something had changed, and she was no longer the same as she was beforehand,” said lead researcher James Anderson, from the University of Stirling. “It seems they are clearly able to distinguish the difference between being alive and unresponsive .”

Sixteen hours after Pansy’s death, zookeepers removed the body, with the three chimps watching quietly. For several days afterward, the group refused to make a nest at the area where Pansy had died. In the second study, chimpanzee mothers were observed in the forests of Bossou, Guinea, after a disease had swept through a group of 19 chimpanzees, killing five, including two infants . The mothers of those infants continued to carry the corpses (尸体) around, even as the bodies dried out. One mother carried her baby for 19 days; the other mother carried hers for 68 days. “We have two explanations here – one is that there is a very strong bond between chimpanzee mothers and chimpanzee infants,” said lead researcher Dora Biro, a biologist at the University of Oxford. “Another possibility is that they were aware of the death and this was just their way of dealing with it,” Biro added, pointing to human inability to let go of objects that remind us of people we have lost. Craig Stanford, a US expert, called the studies’ findings interesting, but said that although humans and chimpanzees shared similar emotions to some degree, it would be dangerous to extrapolate (推断) too much about chimps’ understanding of death. 57. The studies have found that some chimpanzees ______. A. feel deep affection for their mothers B. are as clever as humans C. are afraid of death like humans D. seem to have emotions similar to those of humans 58. According to the first study, which of the following statements is TRUE? A. Pansy was separated from other chimpanzees until her death when she became seriously ill. B. Chimpanzees seem to know the difference between life and death. C. Blossom was the saddest if the three chimpanzees. D. After Pansy died, the other three chimpanzees refused to sleep in their nest. 59. All of the following might explain why chimpanzee mothers carried the corpses of their babies around for a long time OTHER than ______. A. the very strong relationship between chimpanzee mothers and their infants. B. that the chimpanzees might know what death was. C. that the bodies of the infants might bring back memory of their babies. D. that they wanted to find a good place to bury them 60. From what Craig Stanford said we can infer that ______. A. it’s doubtful whether chimpanzees really have a full understanding of death B. humans and chimpanzees have the same emotions C. it would be dangerous for chimpanzees to understand death D. humans and chimpanzees belong to the same family 第二节 任务型阅读（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 以下是五位专家的建议。请匹配这些建议及对应的生活感想或经验介绍（A、B、C、D、E和F）。选项中有一项是多余选项。请将答案代号（A、B、C、D、E、F）写在答题卷61~65的相应位置上。 61．You should watch where your weight accumulates．You can use the waist to hip ratio to find if there is too much fat around the middle．Belly fat is especially dangerous because it releases free fatty acids directly to the liver, virtually flooding it with fat. 62．If a particular food is important to you, eat it, but work it off．You should try to learn the art of compromise. 63．At the same time，the three-for-one is relatively simple to use．Fat grams and calories are listed on almost all boxed, canned or packaged foods —— you have only to read the label and follow the rule．A five-year-old patient of mine can do this. 64．Drinking water is basic, and drinking enough of it is necessary．Patients are sometimes surprised that basic things work when they do them consistently.

A．More than nine years ago I was 70 pounds overweight and wore a very big dress．I had tried different diets and lost weight only to gain it back．Finally a simple “three-for-one’’ fat rule worked for me：consuming no more than three grams of fat for every 100 calories per serving．Following the rule and eating only foods that contain less than 30 percent fat, I spent eight months getting down to a size seven, and I’ve kept the weight off for nine years. B．And for foods that aren’t packaged, you rely on what we already know about them．Red meat, as well as dishes made or served with butter, gravy, cream sauce or cheese, are almost never less than 30 percent fat——so you just don’t eat them．On the other hand, some non-packed foods——all fruits and vegetables except avocadoes and olives——always pass the test．So do most fish, but not when fried. C．I like vegetables, which are rich in vitamins．Most foods containing vitamins C and E（such as sweet potatoes, tomatoes, spinach and broccoli）are low in calories and are known as antioxidants（抗氧化物质）．They can help reduce the possibility to develop hardening the arteries（动脉）. D．I gain weight around the belly—what we call abdominal obesity, the worst kind．The tendency seems to be hereditary（遗传的）, and it’s common among men．This problem increases the risk of a stroke or heart attack．A guide I use in estimating belly fat is the waist-to-hip ratio or WHR．To find yours, divide the circumference（周围）of your waist by the circumference of your hips．Women with ratios above 0.8 and men with ratios above 1.0 are at increased health risk. E．My ways of keeping healthy are very simple, and they are among our everyday activities：eating healthy food and doing exercise．In addition, I manage to do those basic things, such as drinking water, sleeping well and eating less fat．Sometimes I do some of the other things I used to do in my life like walking for half an hour a day. F．Although I've put on ten pounds．I'm healthy and in good shape．I eat food that’s good for me…but I work off Susan’s homemade brownies（巧克力蛋糕）, for example．To offset these extra calories, I walk for an hour or more, three times a week…often with Susan．We’re both busy and this is one way we have some quiet time together．Equally important, it permits me to practice dieting’s fine art of compromise. 第三部分：写作（共两节，满分40
