【文章內容簡介】 g. Two researchers, Jake and Allison, acted as apple sellers in the experiments. The monkeys were tested one at a time and had 12 disks to spend in each experiment. Jake always showed the monkeys one apple piece, while Allison always showed two pieces. But that39。s not necessarily what they gave the monkeys. The number of apple pieces given for a disk was determined at random. Experiment One: Allison showed two pieces of apples but gave both pieces only half the time. The other half, she took one piece away and gave the monkey just the remaining piece. Jake, on the other hand, always gave exactly what he showed: one piece for each disk. The monkeys chose to trade more with Allison. Experiment Two: Allison continued to sometimes gave two pieces and sometimes one piece. But now, half the time, Jake gave the one apple piece he was showing, and half the time he added a bonus. Guess what? The monkeys chose to trade more with Jake. In the first experiment, the monkeys correctly figured out that if they traded with Allison, they39。d end up with more treats. In the second one, when a monkey received two pieces from Jake, it seemed like again. When Allison gave the monkey only one piece instead of the two she showed, it seemed like a loss. The monkeys preferred trading with Jake because they39。d rather take a chance of seeming to win than seeming to lose. We also sometimes make silly business decisions just to avoid the feeling that we39。re getting less, even when were not. Would you have made the same choices?（1）What conclusion might experts draw from the first experiment? A.The monkeys show certain business sense.B.Business theories can apply to all monkeys.C.People are smarter in terms of finance.D.It39。s easy to teach monkeys how to trade.（2）What does a bonus in paragraph 5 refer to? A.A metal disk.B.An apple piece.C.A chance.D.A coin.（3）Why did the monkeys choose to trade more with Jake in the second experiment? A.Because Jake always gave them two apple pieces.B.Because the apple pieces from Jake were yummy.C.Because they didn39。t like the feeling of losing.D.Because they get more apple pieces from Jake.（4）What could be the best title for the passage? A.People39。s Business Decision: Lose or Gain?B.Moneky39。s Business Sense: Smart or Silly?C.Shopping for Bargain: Same or different?D.Disk for Apple: Who to Trade with?【答案】（1）A（2）B（3）C（4）B 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文，科學家們通過實驗來說明，“猴子的商業(yè)意識：聰明還是愚蠢？”(1)考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第四段中的“The monkeys chose to trade more with Allison.”可知，專家們從第一個實驗中得出的結論是“猴子表現(xiàn)出一定的商業(yè)意識?！惫蔬xA。(2)考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第四段中的“half the time, Jake gave the one apple piece he was showing, and half the time he added a ，a bonus指代的是“一塊蘋果”，故選B。(3)考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)最后一段中的“The monkeys preferred trading with Jake because they39。d rather take a chance of seeming to win than seeming to lose.”可知，猴子在第二個實驗中會選擇與杰克進行更多的交易是因為他們不喜歡失去的感覺。故選C。(4)考查主旨大意。根據(jù)第二段中的“Researchers recently taught six monkeys how to use money. ...The monkeys soon figured out that if they gave one of the disks to a scientist, they d receive a piece of apple in return.”和最后一段中的“We also sometimes make silly business decisions just to avoid the feeling that we39。re getting less, even when were not. Would you have made the same choices?”可知，本文說的是，猴子的商業(yè)意識：聰明還是愚蠢？故選B?！军c評】本題考點涉及細節(jié)理解，推理判斷和主旨大意三個題型的考查，是一篇科普類閱讀，考生需要準確掌握細節(jié)信息，根據(jù)上下文進行邏輯推理，概括和歸納，從而選出正確答案。5．閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個選項（A、B、C和D）中，選出最佳選項。It39。s almost camp season!
