The giant vending machine
（自动售货机）
is a new village shop
Villagers have long been used to facing a drive when they run out of basic supplies. However,
help
is

nearer
at

in
the
form

Let's say you've decided you want to eat more healthfully. However, you don't have time to
carefully
plan
menus
for
meals
or
read
food
_41_
at
the
supermarket.
Since
you
really
_42_
yourself to a healthier lifestyle, a little help would come in handy, wouldn't it? This is where a
people
who
organize
the
contexts
in
which
customers
make
decisions.
For
example,
the
person
who decides the layout of your local supermarket- including which shelf the peanut butter goes on,
and how the oranges are piled up
—
is a choice architect.
Governments
don't
have
to
_44_
healthier
lifestyles
through
laws
for
example,
smoking
bans.
Rather,
if
given
an
environment
created
by
a
choice
architect- one
that
encourages
us
to
choose what is best-we will do the right things. In other words, there will be designs that gently
push customers toward making healthier choices, without removing freedom of choice. This idea
combines freedom to choose with _45_ hints from choice architects, who aim to help people live
longer, healthier, and happier lives.
The British and Swedish governments have
introduced a so-called
light system
to
_46_ foods as healthy or unhealthy. This means that customers can see at a glance how much fat,
sugar, and salt each product contains _47_ by looking at the lights on the package. A green light
_48_ that the amounts of the three nutrients are healthy; yellow indicates that the customer should
be _49_; and red means that the food is high in at least one of the three nutrients and should be
eaten in _50_. The customer is given important health information, but is still free to decide what
to choose.
III. Reading Comprehension
Section A
Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B,
C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.
Research has shown that two- thirds of human conversation is taken up not with discussion of
the cultural or political problems of the day, not heated debates about films we've just watched or
books we've just finished reading, but plain and simple _51_.
Language is our greatest treasure as a species, and what do we _52_ do with it? We gossip.
About
others'
behaviour
and
private
lives,
such
as
who's
doing
what
with
whom,
who's
in
and
who's
out-and
why;
how
to
deal
with
difficult
_53_
situations
involving
children,
lovers,
and
colleagues.
So why are we keen on gossiping? Are we just natural _54_
，
of both time and words? Or do
we talk a lot about nothing in particular simply to avoid facing up to the really important issues of
life? It's not the case according to Professor Robin Dunbar. In fact, in his latest book, Grooming,
Gossip and the Evolution of Language, the psychologist says gossip is one of these really _55_
issues.
Dunbar _56_ the traditional view that language was developed by the men at the early stage
of social development in order to organize their manly hunting activities more effectively, or even
to
promote
the
exchange
of
poetic
stories
about
their
origins
and
the
supernatural.
Instead
he
suggests that language evolved among women. We don't spend two-thirds of our time gossiping
just because we can talk, argues Dunbar
—
_57_, he goes on to say, language evolved specifically
to allow us to gossip.
Dunbar arrived at his cheery theory by studying the _58_ of the higher
primates
（灵长类动
物）
like monkeys. By means of grooming--cleaning the fur by brushing it, monkeys form groups
with other individuals on whom they can rely for support in the event of some kind of conflict
within the group or _59_ from outside it.
As we human beings evolve from a particular branch of the primate family, Dunbar _60_ that
at
one
time
in
our
history
we
did
much
the
same.
Grouping
together
made
sense
because
the
bigger
the
group,
the
greater
the
_61_
it provided;
on
the
other
hand,
the
bigger
the
group,
the
greater
the
stresses
of
living
close
to
others.
Grooming
helped
to
_62_
the
pressure
and
calm
everybody down.
But as the groups got bigger and bigger, the amount of time spent in grooming activities also
had to be _63_ to maintain its effectiveness. Clearly, a more _64_ kind of grooming was needed,
and
thus
language
evolved
as
a
kind
of
vocal
（有声的）
grooming
which
allowed
humans
to
develop relationship with ever-larger groups by exchanging information over a wider network of
individuals than would be possible by one-to- one _65_ contact.

Section B
Directions:
Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or

(A).
Most people agree that honesty is a good thing. But does Mother Nature
agree?

behave
dishonestly
