29、e Archaic era (8,000-1,000 B.C) were, in a way, already adapted to beginnings of cultivation through their intensive gathering and processing of wild plant foods. In both areas, there was a well-established ground stone tool technology, a method of pounding (5) and grinding nuts and other plant food

30、s, that could be adapted to newly cultivated foods. By the end of the Archaic era, people in eastern North America had domesticated certain native plants, including sunflowers; weeds called goosefoot, sumpweed, or marsh elder; and squash or gourds of some kind. These provided seeds that were importa

31、nt sources of carbohydrates and fat in the diet. (10) The earliest cultivation seems to have taken place along the river valleys of the Midwest and the Southeast, with experimentation beginning as early as 7,000 years ago and domestication beginning 4,000 to 2,000 years ago. Although the term “Neoli

32、thic” is not used in North American prehistory, these were the first steps toward the same major subsistence changes that took place during the Neolithic (8,000-2,000 B.C.) period (15) elsewhere in the world. Archaeologists debate the reasons for beginning cultivation in the eastern part of the cont

33、inent. Although population and sedentary living were increasing at the time, there is little evidence that people lacked adequate wild food resources; the newly domesticated foods supplemented a continuing mixed subsistence of hunting, fishing, and gathering (20) wild plants, Increasing predictabili

34、ty of food supplies may have been a motive. It has been suggested that some early cultivation was for medicinal and ceremonial plants rather than for food. One archaeologist has pointed out that the early domesticated plants were all weedy species that do well in open, disturbed habitats, the kind t

35、hat would form around human settlements where people cut down trees, trample the ground, deposit trash, and (25) dig holes. It has been suggested that sunflower, sumpweed, and other plants almost domesticated themselves, that is , they thrived in human disturbed habitats, so humans intensively colle

36、cted them and began to control their distribution. Women in the Archaic communities were probably the main experimenters with cultivation, because ethnoarchaeological evidence tells us that women were the main collectors of plant food and had detailed knowledge of plants. （分数：1.00）(1).The passage ma

37、inly discusses which of the following aspects of the life of Archaic peoples?（分数：0.10）A.The principal sources of food that made up their dietB.Their development of ground stone tool technologyC.Their development of agricultureD.Their distribution of work between men and women(2).The word “these” in

38、line 13 refers to（分数：0.10）A.seedsB.river valleysC.the Midwest and the SoutheastD.experimentation and domestication(3).According to the passage, when did the domestication of plants begin in North America?（分数：0.10）A.7,000 years agoB.4,000 to 2,000 years agoC.Long after the Neolithic periodD.Before th

39、e Archaic period(4).The word “adequate” in line 18 is closest in meaning to（分数：0.10）A.sufficientB.healthfulC.variedD.dependable(5).According to the passage, which of the following was a possible motive for the cultivation of plants in eastern North America?（分数：0.10）A.Lack of enough wild food sources

40、B.The need to keep trees from growing close to settlementsC.Provision of work for an increasing populationD.Desire for the consistent availability of food(6).The phrase “rather than” in line 21 is closest in meaning to（分数：0.10）A.in addition toB.instead ofC.as a replacementD.such as(7).The plant “sum

41、pweed” is mentioned in line 25 in order to（分数：0.10）A.contrast a plant with high nutritional value with one with little nutritional valueB.explain the medicinal use of a plantC.clarify which plants grew better in places where trees were not cut downD.provide an example of a plant that was easy to dom

42、esticate(8).The word “thrived” in line 26 is closest in meaning to（分数：0.10）A.stayedB.originatedC.grew wellD.died out(9).According to the passage, which of the following is true about all early domesticated plants?（分数：0.10）A.They were varieties of weeds.B.They were moved from disturbed areas.C.They s

43、ucceeded in areas with many trees.D.They failed to grow in trampled or damaged areas.(10).According to the passage, it is thought that most of the people who began cultivating plants were（分数：0.10）A.medical workersB.leaders of ceremoniesC.womenD.huntersSome animal behaviorists argue that certain anim

44、als can remember past events, anticipate future ones, make plans and choices, and coordinate activities within a group. These scientists, however, are cautious about the extent to which animals can be credited with conscious processing. (5) Explanations of animal behavior that leave out any sort of

45、consciousness at all and ascribe actions entirely to instinct leave many questions unanswered. One example of such unexplained behavior: Honeybees communicate the sources of nectar to one another by doing a dance in a figure-eight pattern. The orientation of the dance conveys the position of the foo

46、d relative to the suns position in the sky, (10)and the speed of the dance tells how far the food source is from the hive. Most researchers assume that the ability to perform and encode the dance is innate and shows no special intelligence. But in one study, when experimenters kept changing the site

47、 of the food source, each time moving the food 25 percent farther from the previous site, foraging honeybees began to anticipate where the food source would (15)appear next. When the researchers arrived at the new location, they would find the bees circling the spot, waiting for their food. No one h

48、as yet explained how bees, whose brains weigh four ten-thousandths of an ounce, could have inferred the location of the new site. Other behaviors that may indicate some cognition include tool use. Many (20)animals, like the otter who uses a stone to crack mussel shells, are capable of using objects

49、in the natural environment as rudimentary tools. One researcher has found that mother chimpanzees occasionally show their young how to use tools to open hard nuts. In one study, chimpanzees compared two pairs of food wells containing chocolate chips. One pair might contain, say, five chips and three chips, the other (25)our chips and three chips. Allowed to choose which pair they wanted, the chimpanzees almost always chose the one with the hig
