2．A few years ago.jye.ai female mountain gorillas（大猩猩）left home，abandoning not only their mate - a sick alpha silverback - but their infants （幼崽），which were barely old enough to Iced themselves.Most mammals abandoned by their mothers risk an early death，and researchers worried about the young gorillas.
Instead，the scientists got a heartwarming surprise.The young gorillas' uncle，a male gorilla named Kubaha，began to take care of tjye.aim.He let them sleep in his nest and climb all over him like a jungle gym.
Kubaha's willingness to be a foster dad turns out to be surprisingly common in mountain gorillas.An analysis on mountain gorillas at the Gorilla Fund's Karisoke Research Center in Rwanda has revealed that when young mountain gorillas lose their mothers，they do not have a greater risk of dying or losing their place in the social hierarchy because the rest of the group buffers them from the loss.The social group has evolved to protect the infants from the ill effects of losing their mothers.
The researchers confirmed this assumption by focusing on data on 59 gorillas between the ages of 2 and 8 who lost their mothers or were orphaned（成為孤兒）before they were fully mature.They then compared the survival of these animals across their lifetimes with the survival of 139 nonorphaned gorillas.They also compared their reproductive success and social rank as adults - and tracked who the infants spent the most time with.
Not only were the orphaned and motherless gorillas at no greater risk of dying，they also suffered no long-term effect on their ability to reproduce or on their social rank，the team reports today in eLife.
The findings suggest such altruistic behavior is not unique to humans - and that dads play an important role in primate youngsters' lives，says Duke behavioral ecologist Susan Alberts， "Nonhuman primates often are really good dads，" she says. "This shows that paternal care goes very deep in our primate lineage."
（1）What moved the scientists according to the first two paragraphs？
A．Young gorillas' being abandoned.
B．Kubaha's caring for the infants.
C．Young gorillas' sleeping in uncle's nest.
D．Young gorillas' climbing over their uncle.
（2）What is the life of motherless gorillas like？
A．Little trouble of survival.
B．Risk of dying young.
C．Loss of social status.
D．Inability to reproduce.
（3）How did the researchers test their assumption about orphaned gorillas？
A．They focused on adult gorillas' data.
B．They collected online information.
C．They tracked their companions.
D．They lived with them.
（4）What does the underlined word "altruistic" in the last paragraph probably mean？
A．careless
B．fearless
C．harmless
D．selfless組卷：0引用：1難度：0.5 -
3．Soccer legend：They told me girls couldn't play this game Note：Michelle Akers was a player on the US Women's National Teams who won World Cup titles in 1991（where she won the Golden Hoot as top scorer） and 1999.
（CNN） - In third grade，I shared my dream along with my favorite football with the class，and as I proudly finished my speech，my teacher responded，"Michelle，girls cannot play football" to which I answered，"Yes，I can." I wouldn't let it go，landing myself in the principal's office，trying not to cry.Soon，my mom arrived. "God help me now，" I thought …until I heard her say to both my teacher and the principal，"How dare you tell my daughter what she can or cannot do."
On Wednesday，all the world（myself included）will watch（he 2019 US Women's National Team - Women's World Cup champions.I'm also thinking about how they - like I - got to the place where they lifted that trophy（獎(jiǎng)杯）.To me，the 2019 World Cup and above all，this team，has taken the stories and dreams of the USWNT full circle.
It goes like this：First，you dream.Next，you play.Then，you inspire a legacy.
So many years ago，I dreamed of being a Pittsburgh Steeler.But many of the players on this 2019 World Champion USA Team sat in stadiums or watched games on TV in 1999 and dreamed of playing for the USWNT.No one could tell them they couldn't - they could see for themselves that it was possible.
They have now not only won a World Cup，but have turned their dreams into action.Dreams of being the best in the world.Dreams of equality and equal opportunity.And the actions to back them up and make them real for the people who come after them.They are demanding respect and equality from the powers that be because they know what it is to achieve more than just a trophy.
That，for me，is so very powerful.What this 2019 World Champion team demands for themselves - and put first in their lives - will be their biggest message of change：Respect.Equal opportunity.Team and family.Individual choice.Excellence.Into a new era.
And I am grateful to be celebrating them in their much deserved ticker-tape parade in the Canyon of Heroes in NYC.
