Without saying a word, as if they both understood that this was a secret they didnt want to share with anyone, they slipped into the alley, where no one could see them look inside “T
9、heres got to be a million dollars here! “Charlie blurted out, when they saw the pile of hundred- dollar bills. Amy, the more realistic of the two, did a quick estimate, thumbing through the wad of cash. “More like thousands” she said, her voice shaking in disbelief. Theyd found the wallet in a flowe
10、rbed by the sidewalk, when Charlie dropped his cell phone while he was trying to talk and eat a slice of pepperoni pizza at the same time. Amy stuffed the wallet into her backpack and pulled Charlie along by his elbow toward her house. As they rushed toward Viceroy Avenue, they talked excitedly abou
11、t what they could do with the money-buy gifts for parents and friends, get new clothes, travel to the rainforest in Costa Rica, and adopt a whale. It looked like all of their dreams would come true. For the last block, however, they didnt talk. Each began to suspect that the other one was silently a

They opened the wallet and counted the money into piles of ten. The total wasS2400- more money than either of them had ever seen. Then they both

17、things with the money. C An article published in the prestigious scientific journal Nature sheds new light on an important, but up-to-now little appreciated, aspect of human evolution. In this article Professors Dennis Bramble and Daniel Lieberman suggest that being able to run was the necessary con
18、dition for the development of our species which enabled us to come down from the trees. This challenges traditional scientific thinking, which claims that the distinctive, upright body form of modern humans has come about as a result of the ability to walk, and that running is simply a by-product of
19、 walking. Furthermore, humans have usually been regarded as poor runners compared to such animals as dogs, horses or deer. However, this is only true if we consider running at high speed, especially over short distances. But when it comes to long-distance running, humans do astonishingly well. They
20、can keep a steady pace for many kilometres, and their overall speed is at least the same as that of horses or dogs Bramble and Lieberman examined 26 physical features found in humans. One of the most interesting of these is the nuchal ligament( 项韧带 ). When we run, this ligament prevents our head fro
21、m moving back and forth or from side to side. Therefore, we are able to run with 小学英语、英语课件、英语教案、小学英语试题、英语导学案、英语单词短语 小学英语、英语课件、英语教案、小学英语试题、英语导学案、英语单词短语 steady heads, held high. The nuchal ligament is not found in any other surviving primates, such as apes and monkeys. Then there are our Achilles tend
22、ons (跟腱) at the backs of our legs, which connect our calf muscles to our heel bones and which have nothing to do with walking. When we run, these tendons behave like springs, helping to push us forward. Furthermore, we have low, wide shoulders virtually disconnected from our skulls( 颅骨), a physical
23、development which allows us to run more efficiently. But what evolutionary advantage is gained from being good long-distance runners? Perhaps it permitted early humans to obtain food more effectively. “What these features and facts appear to be telling us is that running evolved in order for our dir
24、ect ancestors to compete with other meat-eating animals for access to the protein needed to grow the big brains that we enjoy today,“ says Lieberman. Some scientists put forward the theory that early humans chased animals for great distances in order to exhaust them before killing them. “Research on
25、 the history of humans ability to move has traditionally been controversial, “ says Lieberman. “At the very least, I believe this theory will motivate many researchers to reevaluate and further investigate how humans learned to run and walk and why we are built the way we are. “ 28. In paragraph 1,
26、what do the two professors suggest about humans ability to run? A. It is an evolutionary by-product of walking. B. It helps to form peoples ability to climb trees. C. It has played an important role in human evolution. D. It has not been adequately studied by scientists before. 29. What is true abou
27、t the physical characteristics examined by the professors? A. Achilles tendons assist people to walk long distances. B. The human skull helps people to run more efficiently. C. peoples shoulders allow them to look from side to side. D. The nuchal ligament enables people to hold their head steady. 30
28、. According to paragraph 3, scientists believe that early humans_. A. always came across dangerous situations in life B. ran after animals for long distances when hunting C often failed to find food because they couldnt run fast D developed their hunting skills by running long distances 31.

30、ity D Scientists have solved the mystery of why the overwhelming majority of mammoth fossils(化 石 )are male. Much like wild elephants today, young male Ice Age mammoths probably travelled around alone and more often got themselves into risky situations where they were swept into rivers, or fell throu
31、gh ice or into mud, lakes or sinkholes that preserved their bones for thousands of years, scientists say. Females, on the other hand, travelled in groups led by an older matriarch who knew the landscape and directed her group away from danger. “Without the benefit of living in a herd led by an exper
32、ienced female, male mammoths had a much higher risk of dying in natural traps such as mud holes, rock cracks and lakes, “said co-author Love Dalen of the Swedish Museum of Natural History in a report published on Thursday in the journal Current Biology. The study used genetic data to determine the s
33、ex of 98 woolly mammoth fossils in Siberia Researchers found that 69% of the samples were male, a heavily unbalanced sex ratio, assuming that the sexes were fairly even at birth “We were very surprised because there was no reason to expect a sex bias in the fossil record,“ said first author Patricia
34、 Pecnerova, also of the Swedish Museum of Natural History. Therefore, researchers believe that something about the way they lived influenced the way they died. Most bones, tusks, and teeth from mammoths and other Ice Age animals havent survived,“ explained Dalen “It is highly likely that the remains
35、 that are found in Siberia these days have been preserved because they have been buried, and thus protected from weathering.“ These giant, tusked plant eaters disappeared about 4,000 years ago. While there is no scientific agreement about the causes of their disappearance from the planet, most belie
36、ve that climate change, excessive hunting by humans and the spread of other animals into mammoth feeding grounds were influential factors. 32.

There were more male mammoths in comparison to females C Male mammoths were better able to adapt to the changing circumstances. D

The cooling of the earths temperature. C. The disappearance of male mammoths. D The risky behaviour of young

Through the application of great effort and resources over many, many years, Marys career has developed vigorously, as has her garden. _39_ When she was asked whether is was worthwhile to have devoted so much of her life to this research, she firmly responded, “What I have done is to fulfill a promise I once made. More importantly, I want to bring Chinese herbal medicine to all those in need. _40_”
