Yet the plants an
3、d animals, if not the men, were all essentially different from those known in the old world. This was unexpected; it was thought to be quite remarkable. Then a question arose, what is the origin of these plants and animals and men? How could they come to a continent that is cut off apparently from a
4、ll intercourse (交流) and connection with the rest of the world? For the American continent is entirely separated from the old. The nearest approach to it is at BehringsStraits (白令海峡), on the north-west, where it is divided from the Asiatic continent by a channel about forty miles wide. Means of Commu
5、nication with the Old World Some animals and perhaps some plants, and most certainly men, may be supposed to have been transported across such a channel of water as this of Behrings Straits, either by boats made by the savages living on the coasts, or possibly by means of ice at some time when the w
6、hole channel was entirely frozen over. There is also at some distance south of Behrings Straits a remarkable chain of islands, called the Aleutian Islands (阿留申群岛), which extend in a regular and continuous line from the American to the Asiatic shore. These islands are volcanic. They contain now numer
7、ous volcanoes, some active and some dead. They bear no trees, but they produce a great variety of animals. They look, upon the map, like a row of stepping stones, placed on purpose to enable men and animals from the old world to make their way to the new. These islands are nearly all inhabited, and
8、the natives navigate (航海) the seas around them in boats made of a frame-work of wood or bone, covered externally with seal skins. It is perhaps possible to imagine also that a company of men might have been forced accidentally to sea in some large canoe from the coast of Africa, or on the other side
9、 from some of the islands of the Pacific, and landed upon the American shores. It is true that it would be exceedingly improbable that any such combination of circumstances would occur as could lead to such a result. The canoe or boat must have been very large, the stock of provisions very great. Th
10、e wind must not have been violent enough to engulf (吞没) the boat and must still have blown very long and very steadily to have carried a company of men so far before they all perished of hunger and thirst. All this would have been very improbable. Still it would be difficult to show that it could no
11、t occur. From the hundreds and perhaps thousands of boats full of savages that have been blown off to sea from the coasts of Africa, or from the South Sea Islands, it would be impossible to prove positively that there could never have been one that by any chance could have reached the American shore
12、s. There is still another mode by which we can imagine the animal and vegetable life of America to have been communicated to it from other regions, and that is, by supposing that there was in former ages some direct connection between the two continents by a tract of land which has since become subm
13、erged (淹没的). It is well known now that the crust of the earth is not in a stable condition. It is subject to changes and movements of various kinds, which are now going forward all the time, and have probably always been going forward. In some places the land is slowly rising; in others it is slowly
14、 subsiding (下沉). There are many places in the world where towns and cities which formerly stood high and dry on the land are now under water. The land has slowly subsided, so that the sea at the present time flows over it, and people passing in boats now look down and see the old foundations, and fr
15、agments of the fallen walls and columns, at the bottom. The Plants and Animals of America Generally New These and various other similar theories were devised in former times in endeavors to contrive some way of bringing plants and animals from other countries to America. But they have been generally
16、 considered unsatisfactory, since when people examined the plants and animals living here, they were found to be, as it seemed, essentially different from those found in other countries, so different that they could ever be descended from the same stock (祖先，血统), at least by ordinary generation. The
17、fauna (动物群) and the flora (植物) were both found to be in general essentially dissimilar. The flora is its system of plants. By the fauna of a country is meant the system of animals that inhabit it. With a moderate number of exceptions such as these, however, the plants and animals found in America pr
18、oved on examination to be entirely new. So, since both the fauna and the flora of America were so essentially different from those of the old world, it seemed to be wholly useless to attempt to design means by which the forefather (祖先) of the present races in America could have sailed across the oce

It usually disappears quickly and does not require any special attention. The second kind, (39) 4 loneliness, is a natural result of a particular sit

40、 1:_七、Reading Comprehensio(总题数：2，分数：177.00)This new generation of twenty-somethings, the offspring of the baby boomers, is the most talented, competitive (and compulsive) group this country has seen. A record 84 percent of adults now hold a high-school diploma, compared with 63 percent in 1975, acco
41、rding to the U.S. Census Bureau. “Its a Renaissance generation,“ says David Morrison, president of Twentysomething, a consulting firm. “They are, more than anything else, grabbing as many tools as possible, being as valuable as possible, constantly pursuing.“ They, the “Me“ generation, wanted their
42、children to be spoiled with every possible option. Like helicopters, they hovered in the background, ready to sweep down, solve crises and offer new destinations. But what, you wonder, is the outcome of all this coddling? And when will the pilots retire, letting you steer into your own future? But y
43、ou wonder: would this generation, raised to accomplish so much, be better equipped to handle adulthood if more independence was forced upon them? Most of your friends, who came from elite families and went to top schools, never worked regular jobs at ice-cream parlors or fast-food joints they were t
44、oo busy rsum-building. As a result, some 780,000 college graduates a year boomerang back home after graduation. They dont know who they want to be, and their parents, welcoming them back, are often happy to help them plan the next stage of their lives. When your friends finally enter the job market,
45、 theyre often impatient, viewing work as a springboard to greater things. The average adult under 34 holds a job for only 20 months. “The illusion that theyre going to get on this magical conveyor belt of a company and ride it out 40 years is completely shattered,“ says Eric Chester, author of “Gett
46、ing Them to Give a Damn“. Theres also less patience for mindless tasks, says Jessica Ashooh, a senior at Brown, who spent a summer in high school as a retail-store clerk. “I hated it,“ she says. “It was not intellectual. I just wanted to die every day.“ The shrinks question, in the end, is how do you view yourself? The academic youve been taught to imitate one, after all would answer this question through literature. To you, your generation has been ping-ponging between two lines from T. S. Eliot: “Indeed there will be time.“ (For fun, later.) And: “Hurry up please its time.“ (For su
