16、ected三、阅读理解（共 20 小题；共 40 分）A“Around 500,000 years ago, at the Peking Man Site at Zhoukoudian in Beijings suburban Fangshan district, which is about 50km from the city of Beijing, there lived early human beings,“ says a China history textbook.The textbook now has to be revised. New dating techniques
17、suggest the remains of Peking Manfound in the 1920sare over 200,000 years older than previously thought. Whats important about that date, about 770,000 years ago, is that this was an ice age on Earth.Over Earths long history, there have been a number of times when ice and snow covered a large part o
18、f its surface. Such periods are known as ice ages.Earth is in an ice age now. It started about 2 million years ago. Despite the many warm periods since then, scientists regard the whole time as one ice age because of the continuous existence of at least one large ice sheetthe one over Antarctica.The
19、 new discovery was made by Chinese and US scientists. It suggests Peking Man is probably our oldest cold weather human being, said Darryl Granger, an atmospheric scientist at Purdue University whose research appears in Thursdays edition of the journal Nature.The average yearly temperature at the tim
20、e in that part of China was around the freezing mark, but it was too dry for an ice sheet, Granger said.This raises a question. How did Peking Man survive the cold weather?Rick Potts, a Smithsonian Institution human origins expert who wasnt involved in the research, raised three possibilities:First,
21、 fire. Early findings showed signs of a fire in Peking Mans cave. But there has been debate about whether the fire was accidental or controlled.Second, fur. There is no evidence that Peking Man used simple tools to make more form-fitting clothes. Its more likely he wore animal fur.Last, he may have
22、developed gradually to handle the cold. Peking Man may have experienced physiological changes that allowed more blood to flow to his hands and legs, Potts said. “People in general who live in colder climates tend to be shorter and wider,“ he explained.Unlike the times of Peking Man, today the global
23、 temperature is rising due to the greenhouse effect. In the future, could humans develop to handle the warmth just as Peking Man did to fight the cold?36. According to the new research, Peking Man actually dates back to .A. around 500,000 years ago B. over 200,000 years agoC. about 770,000 years ago
24、 D. about 2 million years ago37. What is the most important standard for scientists to decide an ice age?A. The weather conditions.B. The continuous existence of any large ice sheets.C. The average yearly temperature.D. The long period of snowfall.38. Which of the following is TRUE of Peking Man?A.
25、He is the oldest human being.B. He used fire to keep warm.C. He wore form-fitting clothes made from fur with simple tools.D. He might have been shorter and wider than previously thought.39. What does the passage mainly want to convey to us?A. The latest discovery about Peking Man.B. The life of Peki
26、ng Man during ice age.C. The way Peking Man use to fight against coldness.D. The time Peking Man date from.40. The passage can probably be found in .A. a history textbook B. a scientific magazineC. a research report D. an entertainment newspaperBWe bet that on cold wintry days, many of you love to s
27、tay in your warm home and, every now and then, come out into the kitchen for a snack. Unfortunately, plenty of creepy-crawly critters (爬行生物) like to do the same thing!Winter is the time when bugs(虫子) invade your house without an invitation. The season can be tough for such creatures. In winter the a
28、ir is cold, the ground is hard and many trees have no leaves. So bugs do what they have to do to survive.Monarch butterflies head south to warmer climates. Ants crowd in deep underground colonies and eat food they have been storing all year. Many insects go into a deep sleep called diapauses. Therer
29、e different kinds of diapauses, but all are similar to hibernation, a time when bigger animals become inactive in the cold. Insects go into an inactive period, too, but it often isnt when the temperature drops.They rely on more dependable signals in the environment. For example, many insects can tel
30、l how much sunlight theres each day. They use that to tell themselves when to shut down. Bugs are cold-blooded, meaning that their inside temperature is the same as the outside. They cant move much when it gets below 40 degrees Fahrenheit. So they search for any warm place.Theyre looking for protect
31、ion. These guys have been doing this for 300 million years, so they dont really know theyre coming into your house. The home is a recent event in terms of their evolutionary behavior. They enter through tiny cracks or come in unnoticed on your clothes or shoes. Remember that they may be invading you
32、r homes for warmth and food, but they dont care about humans.41. What is the purpose of the first paragraph?A. To point out that humans like to stay at home in winter.B. To mean that humans and bugs have the same living habits.C. To mean that bugs will invade humans houses for their winter.D. To put
33、 forward the idea that bugs are not welcome in winter.42. According to the text, what is diapauses?A. It is the same as the animals hibernation.B. It often appears in warm areas all the year.C. It is done to keep bugs active in winter.D. It is a deep sleep similar to hibernation.43. What often decid
34、es bugs diapauses?A. The lower local temperature.B. The amount of sunlight.C. Kinds of environmental signals.D. The insects inside temperature.44. According to the text, bugs invade humans homes to .A. attack humansB. look for enough foodC. seek for protectionD. show their evolutionary results45. Wh
35、at would be the best title for the text?A. Bugs Life on Cold Wintry DaysB. Why Do Bugs Invade Your Home in Winter?C. Good Relations Between Humans and BugsD. What Does Diapauses Mean?CAn increase in students applying to study economics at university is being attributed to (归因于) the global economic c
36、risis awakening a public thirst for knowledge about how the financial system works.Applications for degree courses beginning this autumn were up by 15% this January, according to UCAS, the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service. A spokesman for the Royal Economic Society said applications to d
37、o economics at A level (A 级) were also up.Professor John Beath, the president of the society and a leading lecturer at St. Andrews University, said his first year lectureswhich are open to students from all departmentswere drawing crowds of 400, rather than the usual 250.“There are a large number of
38、 students who are not economics majors, who would like to learn something about it. One of the things I have done this year is to relate my teaching to contemporary events in a way that one hasnt traditionally done,“ he added.University applications rose 7% last year, but there were rises above aver
39、age in several subjects. Nursing saw a 15% jump, with peoples renewed interest in careers in the public sector(部门), which are seen as more secure in economic crisis.A recent study showed almost two thirds of parents believed schools should do more to teach pupils about financial matters, and almost
40、half said their children had asked them what was going on, although a minority of parents felt they did not understand it themselves well enough to explain.Zack Hocking, the head of Child Trust Funds, said, “Its possible that one good thing to arise from the downturn will be a generation thats finan
41、cially wiser and better equipped to manage their money through times of economic uncertainty.“46. Professor John Beaths lectures are .A. given in a traditional wayB. connected with the present situationC. open to both students and their parentsD. warmly received by economists47. Careers in the publi
42、c sector are more attractive because of their .A. greater stability B. higher payC. fewer applications D. better reputation48. In the opinion of most parents, .A. economics should be the focus of school teachingB. more students should be admitted to universitiesC. the teaching of financial matters s
43、hould be strengthenedD. children should solve financial problems themselves49. According to Hocking, the global economic crisis might make the youngsters .A. wiser in money managementB. have access to better equipmentC. confident about their future careersD. get jobs in Child Trust Funds50. Whats th
44、e main idea of the text?A. Universities have received more applications.B. Economics is attracting an increasing number of students.C. College students benefit a lot from economic uncertainty.D. Parents are concerned with childrens subject selection.DWhen Mary Moore began her high school in 1951, he
45、r mother told her, “Be sure and take a typing course so when this show business thing doesnt work out, youll have something to rely on.” Mary responded in typical teenage fashion. From that moment on, “the very last thing I ever thought about doing was taking a typing course,” she recalls.The show b
46、usiness thing worked out, of course. In her career, Mary won many awards. Only recently, when she began to write Growing Up Again, did she regret ignoring her mom, “I dont know how to use a computer,” she admits.Unlike her 1995 autobiography, After All, her second book is less about life as an award
47、-winning actress and more about living with diabetes(糖尿病). All the money from the book is intended for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF), an organization she serves as international chairman. “I felt there was a need for a book like this,” she says. “I didnt want to lecture, but I wanted other diabetics to know that things get better when were self-controlled and do our part in managing the disease.”But she hasnt always practiced what she teaches. In her book, she describes that awful day, almost 40 years ago, when she received two pieces of life-changing news. First, she had
