9、est answer to each question. Then, mark your answer by blackening the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.20 The discovery of a dwarfed(矮个的)“human being“ who lived in Flores, Indonesia, up to 18, 000 years ago is changing the way we think about the human family. This “Flores Human“was three foo

10、t tall and her brain was smaller than that of the average chimp(黑猩猩 ), yet she and her relatives apparently lived fully human lives. They seem to have made tools, worked together to find food and cook it, and perhaps even burried their dead with ceremony.It was a major surprise to find tools associa

11、ted with the new human family member. The tools are like those formerly seen only with European fossils(化石)from our own species: Homo sapiens(智人): and the oldest of them were made 9, 400 years ago. Homo sapiens is thought to have arrived in the island about 4, 000 years ago, much too late to be resp

12、onsible for the tools. If this tiny human made the tools, then the inside structure(结构 )of its brain must have been more like our own than a chimps, despite being just a third the size of ours.This “new human“ was suspected to be a dwarfed branch of Homo erectus(直立人). When creatures are separated in

13、 regions with rare resources but few enemies, being big is a disadvantage, and evolution tends to shrink them, a process known as island dwarfing. Could natural selection make a human smaller while keepingeven improvingmental ability? Quite possibly, believes Christopher Wills of the University of C

14、alifornia.Has the “Flores Human“ even shown the ability of language? “I find it difficult to imagine that people could make tools, use fire, and kill large animals without fairly advanced communication, “Wills says. Did “Flores Human“ possess the basic components of human culturesuch as the burying

15、of the dead with ceremony? Emiliano Bruner of the Italian Institute points out that Indonesias hot, wet environment is bad for fossilization. It is reasonable to assume, he says, that the 18, 000-year-old bones of the most complete Flores woman were well-preserved because she was buried with special

16、 care.21 According to the passage, “ Flores Human“_.（A）lived a partly human life（B） was a branch of Homo sapiens（C） used tools before Homo sapiens arrived（D）had a brain as large as a common chimps22 The underlined part “this tiny human“in Paragraph 2 refers to_.（A）a chimp（B） Flores Human（C） Homo sap

17、iens（D）Homo erectus23 This passage mainly talks about_.（A）the tools made by “ Flores Human“（B） the language used by “Flores Human“（C） the evolution of “Flores Human“（D）the major surprising findings about “Flores Human“24 According to the passage, it is believed that “Flores Human“_.（A）was dwarfed by

18、 its enemies（B） could use language（C） left a lot of fossils in the hot and wet environment（D）reached Flores 40, 000 years ago24 Unlike modern animal scientists, dinosaur scientists cannot sit on a hillside and use telescopes to watch dinosaurs in order to know how they lived and whether they were go

19、od parents. Instead, they have to search hard for information from dinosaurs fossils(恐龙化石)because dinosaurs died out millions of years ago.Its very difficult for the scientists to reach an agreement because different results can be got from the same fossils. Many fossils of the same kind of dinosaur

20、s have been dug out from one place. They might have formed when an entire group of dinosaurs got stuck(陷入)all at once. Or they might have been the result of dinosaurs getting stuck one after another over a course of a few centuries. Thus we can say that dinosaurs might have in the first case lived i

21、n big groups and in the second lived alone.Though there are two different results, dinosaur scientists now generally agree that at least some kinds of dinosaurs lived in big groups. “Thats pretty much settled at this point, “ says Paul Sereno. A kind of dinosaurs called Sauropods left behind tracks

22、in the western United States that appear to run north and south, suggesting that they even moved long distances together.As to whether dinosaurs cared for their young, dinosaur scientists have turned to the closest living relatives of dinosaursbirds and crocodilesfor possible models. Birds give a lo

23、t of care to their young, while crocodiles just help their young to the water. The discovered fossils of dinosaurs sitting on their eggs and staying with their young suggest the parents were taking care of their babies, but we still cannot say that all dinosaurs did the same.There is still a long wa

24、y to go before the above questions could be answered. Dinosaur scientists will have to find more proof to reach an agreement.25 Dinosaur scientists can get information directly by_.（A）studying dinosaur fossils（B） examining modern animals（C） watching dinosaurs（D）using telescopes26 What is pretty much

25、 settled according to Paul Sereno?（A）Half of the dinosaurs lived alone.（B） Most dinosaurs moved long distances.（C） Many dinosaurs settled in the north.（D）Some dinosaurs lived in big groups.27 Dinosaur scientists can probably know whether dinosaurs were good parents by_.（A）watching many kinds of anim

26、als（B） studying dinosaurs living relatives（C） following the tracks left behind（D）working on dug-out dinosaur eggs28 Which of the following is TRUE according to the 4th paragraph?（A）Birds hardly pay attention to their young.（B） Baby crocodiles can look after themselves well.（C） Some dinosaurs took ca

27、re of their young.（D）Birds and crocodiles take good care of their young.28 Would you like to spend all evening reading a lovely story with beautiful illustrations and make $35, 000 at the same time? Millions of people all over the world tried to do just that. Only one succeeded. The book is called M

28、asquerade, and was written by British painter Kit Williams. Within its pages are clues to the location of a golden jewel, and whoever figured out the clues could find and keep the treasure.Some years ago, Williams was asked to write a childrens book. Wanting to do something no one else had done befo

29、re, he decided to bury a golden treasure and tell where it was in the book. He began painting without a clear idea of what the story would be about, where he would bury the treasure, or even what the treasure would be. As he painted, he decided that in the story a hare, or rabbit, would travel throu

30、gh earth, air, fire and water to deliver a gift from the moon to the sun.After three years, he finished the paintings and then wrote the story. The treasure became an 18-carat gold hare, adorned with precious stones, and it was made by Kit Williams himself. This beautiful jewel, worth around $ 35, 0

31、00 , depending on gold prices, was buried somewhere in Britain, free to anyone who could decipher the clues. Williamss book kept people of all ages amused trying to solve the mystery of Masquerade.The rabbit was finally found in the spring of 1982 , by a 48-year-old design engineer. It was buried in

32、 a park about thirty-five miles from London.29 The function of the first sentence in this passage is to _.（A）give detail（B） sum up the story（C） capture the readers interest（D）elaborate upon a point30 When Williams began working on his book, he _.（A）was paid $35 , 000（B） learned to paint（C） had alrea

33、dy buried the treasure（D）did not know what the story would be about31 We can conclude from the passage that_.（A）the clues in Masquerade are easy to decipher（B） Kit Williams has many artistic talents（C） many people bury treasures in Britain（D）Kit Williams said he would pay$ 35, 000 to whoever found t

34、he treasure32 This passage is about_.（A）British painters（B） golden jewelry（C） a modern treasure hunt（D）writing childrens books32 In Japans capital city of Tokyo, earthquake danger limits the height of buildings. The city has spread out so far and the traffic has become so heavy that it is very diffi

35、cult to get from one place to another. The price of land, too, has become very high. All this explains why a group of Japanese land developers came to the conclusion that there was nowhere to go but down. So far they have dug out space underground for fifteen major shopping centers, and the undergro

36、und construction has only begun.What are some of the advantages of shopping and eating underground? Clean, filtered(过滤的 )air is one of them. The city of Tokyo has one of the most serious smog problems in the world. Another advantage is that there wont be traffic accidents as that on the citys busy s

37、treets. Still another is the convenience of moving from place to place. Youre usually right next to, or even in, a subway station. And you can even spend the night underground if you like. The Kyobashi Station, for example, in down town Tokyo, has a hotel with a bar, restaurant and barbershop.33 It

38、is very difficult to get from one place to another in Tokyo because_.（A）the city is so large and so high（B） there is no traffic（C） we dont know the road（D）the city is so large and the traffic is so heavy34 All are the reasons for Tokyo to develop underground EXCEPT_.（A）the high buildings（B） the high

39、 price of land（C） the far spreading of the city（D）the heavy traffic35 Shopping underground is clean_.（A）without air pollution（B） of water（C） and tidy（D）and beautiful36 The second paragraph tells us_.（A）underground is convenient（B） the advantages of underground（C） we can have good food underground（D）

40、you can spend the night underground36 If we had to rely on only five senses for survival, we would be in very sad shape indeed. We wouldnt know up from down. We wouldnt know when to eat or drink. We wouldnt know what our muscles were doing or what position our limbs were in. We wouldnt know when our

41、 body was damaged because we wouldnt feel pain. We might freeze to death without even a shiver, or overheat without a drop of sweat. The five sensestouch, taste, smell, hearing and sightrespond only to stimulation from the outside world, but the inside world of our bodies must also receive and respo

42、nd to important messages.Our internal senses keep us alive and enable us to use our external senses. In effect, the internal senses tell our brains how to run our bodies. Hunger or thirst registers in a part of the brain called the hypothalamus(丘脑下部), when a lack of food chemicals are detected in th

43、e blood.Another internal sense that controls our balance is maintained by three fluid-filled loops in the inner ear. Changes in position and gravity affect the motion of this liquid and cause changes in the brain. A sense called kinesthesia(肌肉运动知觉)lets us know the relative positions of parts of our

44、bodies. Even our breathing is caused by a sense that identifies an overabundance of carbon dioxide and a lack of oxygen in the blood.No one has been able to count the number of internal senses. The presence of delicate internal senses shows just how marvelously complex we human beings are.37 This pa

45、ssage deal mostly with the_.（A）internal senses（B） sense of balance（C） five senses（D）brains function38 Hunger is caused by_.（A）too much food and water in the body（B） a lack of oxygen in the blood（C） seeing or thinking about food（D）a lack of certain chemicals in the blood39 The passage implies that th

46、ere are many senses we _.（A）can use only in emergencies（B） may not understand at present（C） never realize we have（D）do not actively use in everyday living40 In the second paragraph, the term “in effect“ means _.（A）in fact（B） it is doubtful（C） often（D）without reason四、Part IV ClozeDirections: There ar

47、e some blanks in the following passages. For each blank there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should choose the one that best fits into the passages. Then, mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.40 In Britain, people have different attitudes to the police. Most people generally
