Talkingis unique tohumans.Ananimalmightmake 10different sounds,butanadulthuman
knows more than20,000 words.Additionally, we’rethe onlyanimal thatexpressesthoughts infull
sentences.Researchersdon’tthink languagewas invented.Instead,they think itevolved.How
didtalkingevolve? There aretwo main theories.Thefirsttheory isthatlanguage started with
peoplemaking different sounds,mostly imitating thethings around them,like animalcalls,nature
sounds,and the sounds oftools.Perhapsthey made the sound ofwindtocomment onthe
weatheror imitated the sound ofabirdtotell afriend thatthere was abird nearby. Then over
hundredsofthousandsof years,thosesounds turned into wordsthat peoplebeganto learn as
partoftheir language.Atsomepoint,peoplestarted stringing the words together toform
sentences.Theother main theory, whichismore recent,isthat people startedoffby gesturing,
pointingat things withtheir hands andimitatingactions usingtheir bodies.Eventually, these
gesturesturned intofull signlanguage.This theoryguessesthatafter developing sign languages,
peopleeventually started makingsounds alongwith theirgestures. Atsomepoint,they switched
tomostlymakingsounds thatbecamewordsinstead ofjustusingtheir bodies.Thereason they
switchedto making sounds,the theorygoes, isthattalking outloud lets you communicate with
someoneevenwhen you can’tsee them.

Isitagood idea todisplay luxury brandsand othersignals ofstatus? Itdepends onthe situation.
Studieshave shown thatpeoplewho appear tobe wealthy tend tobeconsidered more intelligent,disciplined,andcompetentthanthose who donot. Butnew researchfoundthat people believe
someonewho shows offtheir socialstatus caresmore aboutbenefiting themselves than helping
others.Thismeans peopleare less willingto collaboratewith them.Modesty may bekey when
cooperationis essential,buttheresearchers also foundthatin somecases,status signalinghas
advantages.Experiments showed thatparticipants were lesslikely tochoose someonewho
signals their wealthorstatus tojoin agroup seeking cooperativemembers. Butparticipants were
morelikely tochoose thatperson when theywere looking for acompetitive team member.These
findings suggestthatpeople should changehow they presentthemselves,dependingon their
socialgoal.This isthe era ofsocialmedia.Peoplecan easily sharetheir wealthandstatus to
large audiences,butthey need toconsider the consequences.Postingaboutluxury purchases
andexpensivevacations online may helpyou topersuadeothers and frightencompetitors,butit
couldalsosignaltopotentialfriends or futureemployers that you are unlikely tothinkabout the
needsofothers. Thismakes things trickyfor people who maywant toimpressothers while also
demonstrating thattheyare ateam player.

Humanfascination with animalsgoes back asfar ashumans do.Ofthe oldestcave paintings
discovered,someare up to 40,000 years old and there are more imagesof animals than humans.
Atsomepoint,humans began tocapture andhold animals.Thefirstknown collections wereheld
by royaltyand were notopen tothe public.InEgypt, researchershavefoundbuildings from
around 3,500 BC containingthe remainsofanimals, includingelephants,which werenotnative to
Egypt.Butlifewasn’teasyfor theseanimals.They probably hadshortlives,andthe remains
show evidence ofsevere injuries.Thefirstpublic exhibitof animals mayhavebeen createdby
Egypt’sQueen Hatshepsutaround 1480 BC.Researchersthinkthe zoo was startedwith animals
broughthomefromafar-offland known as Punt. It’sunclear why thequeen builtthe zoo,butit
mighthave been toshow offher wealth and power. Earlyzoos arefound allover the world. In
China,Emperor WenWangis saidto havebuiltagarden ofintelligence around1060 BC.It
includeddeer,birds,andmany fish.In England,King Henrythe firstsetupacollectionof animals

米小子”的称号——此前他的在线采访吸引了数百万观看量并被改编成歌曲。南达科他州是美国玉

快时尚能否可持续？研究者认为可以。识别该商业模式为何产生浪费，并确定监管者能否激励消费
者和制造商，是减少浪费的关键步骤。近期，服装业因造成严重环境影响的浪费问题受抨击。由于

建议：从可持续处理库存到征收生产税，以激励厂商和消费者减少浪费。为制定有效政策遏制服装

响，设计减少浪费、激励创新和管理废物的新商业模式。

女：我觉得政府可以改善。高峰消除不了，但总能让它好受点吧？比如地铁装空调！我知道全球很
多地铁都有空调，为什么我们没有？夏天闷得无法呼吸，再加上高峰期的拥挤人群，简直可怕。
男：你说得对！这儿的列车太旧了，政府该投资新车型。幸好我坐公交。
女：公交更好吗？
男：是啊，36路直达办公室，半小时不用换乘。

PASSAGE 1
原文翻译：
语言是人类独有的能力。动物或许能发10种声音，但成人掌握超2万词汇，且唯人类能用完整句子
表达思想。研究者认为语言非发明而是进化而来。如何进化？两大理论：其一，语言始于人类模仿
周围声音（如动物叫声、自然声、工具声），如模拟风声评天气，或学鸟叫告知附近有鸟。几十万
年后，这些声音演变为语言中的词汇。随后，词汇组成句子。其二较新的理论认为，人类始于手势
（用手指物或身体模仿动作），逐渐发展成手语，后加入声音辅助手势。最终，声音取代手势成为
主要交流方式——因发声能在看不见对方时交流。
重点词汇解析：
1.evolved（进化）：动词，强调“自然渐进发展”。
2.imitate（模仿）：动词，如“imitateaccents”（模仿口音）。
3.gesturing（打手势）：动名词，指“肢体语言交流”。

5.commenton（评论）：动词短语，正式表达观点。
PASSAGE 2
原文翻译：
炫耀奢侈品和地位信号是否明智？视情境而定。研究表明，看似富有者常被认为更聪明、自律、能
干。但新研究发现，炫耀社会地位者被视为“利己大于助人”，导致他人不愿合作。当协作至关重要
时，谦逊是关键；但某些情境下，地位信号也有优势。实验表明：参与者不愿选择炫耀财富者加入
协作团队，但若需竞争性成员时则更倾向选择此人。结论是：人们应根据社交目标调整自我展示方
式。在社交媒体时代，分享财富地位需考虑后果——晒奢侈品或豪华假期或可震慑竞争者，但也向
潜在朋友或雇主传递“不关心他人需求”的信号，令想展示团队精神者陷入两难。重点词汇解析：
1.status signaling（地位信号）：名词短语，指“通过物品展示地位”。
2.collaborate（协作）：动词，正式用语，近义词“cooperate”。
3.modesty（谦逊）：名词，反义词“arrogance”（傲慢）。
4.competitive（竞争性的）：形容词，此处指“具有竞争意识”。
5.consequences（后果）：名词，常指“负面影响”。
PASSAGE 3
原文翻译：
人类对动物的痴迷与人类历史一样久远。现存最古老洞穴壁画（约4万年）中，动物形象多于人类。
后来，人类开始捕获圈养动物。最早的已知收藏由皇室拥有，不对外开放。埃及公元前3500年的
建筑中发现非本土动物（如大象）遗骸，但这些动物生存艰难，遗骸显示重伤痕迹。首个公共动物
园或由埃及女王Hatshepsut（公元前1480年）创建，动物来自遥远之地Punt。女王建园动机不明，
但可能是炫耀财富权力。早期动物园遍布全球：中国周文王（公元前1060年）建“灵囿”养鹿鸟鱼；
英国亨利一世（约1110年）将狮虎收藏作为皇家资产，1235年迁至伦敦塔并留存600年。
重点词汇解析：
1.fascination（痴迷）：名词，搭配“with”，指“对...着迷”。
2.royalty（皇室）：集合名词，单数形式表整体。
3.remains（遗骸）：名词，考古术语，指“生物残骸”。
4.exhibit（展览）：名词，此处指“动物园的展示”。
5.royal estate（皇家资产）：名词短语，指“君主拥有的财产”。
