These are seemingly simple activities that the majority of us dont question. But an international team of researchers, including Dr. Richmond from GWs Columbian C

2、ollege of Arts and Sciences,have discovered that human walking upright, may have originated millions of years ago as an adaptation to carrying scarce, high- quality resources. The team of researchers from the U. S., England, Japan and Portugal investigated the behavior of modern-day chimpanzees as t

3、hey competed for food resources,in an effort to understand what ecological settings would lead a large ape one that resembles the 6 million-year old ancestor we shared in common with living chimpanzees to walk on two legs. “These chimpanzees provide a model of the ecological conditions under which o

4、ur earliest ancestors might have begun walking on two legs, ,said Dr. Richmond. The research findings suggest that chimpanzees switch to moving on two limbs instead of four in situations where they need to monopolize a resource. Standing on two legs allows them to carry much more at one time because

5、 it frees up their hands. Over time,intense bursts of bipedal activity may have led to anatomical changes that in turn became the subject of natural selection where competition for food or other resources was strong. Two studies were conducted by the team in Guinea. The first study was conducted by

6、the team in Kyoto Universitys “ outdoor laboratory ” in a natural clearing in Bossou Forest. Researchers allowed the wild chimpanzees access to different combinations of two different types of nut the oil palm nut,which is naturally widely available, and the coula nut, which is not. The chimpanzees

7、behavior was monitored in three situations:(a) when only oil palm nuts were available,(b)when a small number of coula nuts were available,and(c) when coula nuts were the majority available resource. When the rare coula nuts were available only in small numbers, the chimpanzees transported more at on

8、e time. Similarly, when coula nuts were the majority resource, the chimpanzees ignored the oil palm nuts altogether. The chimpanzees regarded the coula nuts as a more highly-prized resource and competed for them more intensely. In such high-competition settings,the frequency of cases in which the ch

9、impanzees started moving on two legs increased by a factor of four. Not only was it obvious that bipedal movement allowed them to carry more of this precious resource, but also that they were actively trying to move as much as they could in one go by using everything available 一even their mouths. Th

10、e second study, by Kimberley Hockings of Oxford Brookes University, was a 14-month study of Bossou chimpanzees crop-raiding, a situation in which they have to compete for rare and unpredictable Resources.

A第一段第一句和第二句說明,大多數(shù)人對人類直立行走習(xí)以為常,并不質(zhì)疑這種習(xí)慣。而A的內(nèi)容正好與此相反,所以是答案。其他選項(xiàng)所述內(nèi)容均可從第一段和第二段推斷出2.

19、 B 文章報(bào)道,科學(xué)家通過實(shí)驗(yàn)證實(shí)黑猩猩直立行走是為了解放前肢,讓前肢搬運(yùn)對其生命至關(guān)重要的資源,從而推斷出人類祖先也經(jīng)歷了從四足到二足的進(jìn)化過程??茖W(xué)家想通過對黑猩猩的實(shí)驗(yàn)解釋人類直立行走的成因。所以B是答案,A、C、D選項(xiàng)不是科學(xué)家進(jìn)行研究的目的。3. C第五段明白無誤地描述了黑猩猩全然不顧油棕櫚堅(jiān)果(ignored the oil palm nuts altogether),集中精力搶運(yùn)可樂果。所以C是答案,B、C、D的內(nèi)容不符合文章原意。4. D黑猩猩用后肢直立行走,搬運(yùn)資源的效率提高了四倍。選項(xiàng)D符合原意,是答案。選項(xiàng)A、B、C的內(nèi)容文章中沒有提到,所以不是答案。5. D 了解了通篇

20、文章的意思,就會(huì)選擇選項(xiàng)D。人類直立行走是受生態(tài)環(huán)境所迫,是人類生存的一種手段,直立行走是自然選擇的結(jié)果。選項(xiàng)A和C的內(nèi)容文章中沒有涉及。文章中有選項(xiàng)B的內(nèi)容,但它不是文章的主旨。譯文:我們大多數(shù)人每天都走路而且手里搬著東西。這樣的活動(dòng)看似太簡單,大多數(shù)人沒有疑問。但是一個(gè)國際研究者(包括喬治華盛頓大學(xué)哥倫比亞藝術(shù)與科學(xué)學(xué)院的Richmond博士)團(tuán)隊(duì)已經(jīng)發(fā)現(xiàn)了人類直立行走可能源于數(shù)百萬年以前適應(yīng)搬運(yùn)稀有的、高質(zhì)量的資源。這些來自美國、英國、日本和葡萄牙的研究者研究了當(dāng)代黑猩猩爭搶食物時(shí)的行為特征,試圖對什么樣的生態(tài)環(huán)境竟然導(dǎo)致大猿(一種我們與現(xiàn)存的黑猩猩一樣的600萬年前的祖先)直立行走作出

21、解釋?!斑@些黑猩猩居住的生態(tài)環(huán)境和我們最早的祖先開始直立行走時(shí)是相同的,” Richmond博士說。研究結(jié)果顯示,當(dāng)黑猩猩需要獨(dú)占一種資源時(shí),它們就從四肢行走轉(zhuǎn)換為直立行走。由于直立行走可以解放它們的雙手,這使得它們能搬更多的東西。久而久之,雙足活動(dòng)的強(qiáng)烈爆發(fā)可能導(dǎo)致了解剖學(xué)上的變化,因此這種變化也就成為自然選擇的主題,在那種情況下,對食物或其他資源的爭奪是十分激烈的。有兩項(xiàng)研究是在幾內(nèi)亞完成的。第一項(xiàng)研究是在京都大學(xué)博蘇森林的一塊天然空地“室外實(shí)驗(yàn)室”進(jìn)行的。研究者們允許森林里的黑猩猩能得到兩種不同的堅(jiān)果,一種叫油棕櫚堅(jiān)果,自然界隨處可見,一種叫可樂果,自然環(huán)境中不常見。人們監(jiān)控黑猩猩在下列

22、三種情形下的行為:(a)只有油棕櫚堅(jiān)果;(b)只有少量的可樂果,大多數(shù)是油棕櫚堅(jiān)果;(c)大多數(shù)是可樂果,少數(shù)是油棕櫚堅(jiān)果。當(dāng)稀有的可樂果數(shù)量很少時(shí),黑猩猩一次就會(huì)拿得多。同樣,當(dāng)大部分是可樂果時(shí),黑猩猩對油棕櫚堅(jiān)果根本視而不見。黑猩猩認(rèn)為可樂果才是珍貴的資源,并為得到可樂果激烈競爭。處于這種激烈競爭的環(huán)境中,黑猩猩直立行走的頻率增加了四倍。很顯然,雙足行走可以使它們拿走更多的稀有資源,而且,為了盡可能地一口氣多拿,它們積極利用可用到的任何方法,甚至嘴巴。第二項(xiàng)研究是在牛津布魯克斯大學(xué)的Kimberley Hockings進(jìn)行的。該研究歷時(shí)14個(gè)月,主題是博蘇的黑猩猩搶劫糧食,場景是它們不得不

23、為稀有和不可預(yù)知的資源競爭。在這項(xiàng)研究中,黑猩猩35%的活動(dòng)是直立行走。而這一次研究再一次證實(shí)了黑猩猩的直立行走與它們試圖一次搬走盡可能多的東西有關(guān)。第五十篇Cell Phones Increase Traffic, Pedestrian FatalitiesCell phones are a danger on the road in more ways than one. Two new studies show that talking on the phone while traveling, whether youre driving or on foot, is increasin

24、g both pedestrian deaths and those of drivers and passengers, and recommend crackdowns on cell1 use by both pedestrians and drivers.The new studies, lead-authored by Rutgers University, Newark, Economics Professor Peter D. Loeb2, relate the impact of cell phones on accident fatalities to the number

25、of cell phones in use, showing that the current increase in deaths resulting from cell phone use follows a period when cell phones actually helped to reduce pedestrian and traffic fatalities. However, this reduction in fatalities disappeared once the numbers of phones in use reached a critical mass

26、3 of 100 million, the study found.These studies looked at cell phone use and motor vehicle accidents from 1975 through 2002, and factored in4 a number of variables, including vehicle speed, alcohol consumption, seat belt use, and miles driven. The studies found the cell phone-fatality correlation to

27、 be true even when including factors such as speed, alcohol consumption, and seat belt use.Loeb and his co-author determined that, at the current time, cell phone use has a significant adverse effect on pedestrian safety and that “cell phones and their usage above a critical thresholds adds to motor

28、 vehicle fatalities. In the late 1980s and part of the 1990s, before the numbers of phones exploded, cell phone use actually had a life-saving effect in pedestrian and traffic accidents, Loeb notes. Cell-phone users were able to quickly call for medical assistance when involved in an accident. This

29、quick medical response actually reduced the number of traffic deaths for a time, Loeb hypothesizes.However, this was not the case when cells were first used in the mid-1980s, when they caused a life-taking effect among pedestrians, drivers and passengers in vehicles. In those early days, when there

30、were fewer than a million phones, fatalities increased, says Loeb, because drivers and pedestrians probably were still adjusting to the novelty of using them, and there werent enough cell phones in use to make a difference in summoning help following an accident, he explains.The life-saving effect o

31、ccurred as the volume of phones grew into the early 1990s, and increasing numbers of cells were used to call 911 following accidents, leading to a drop in fatalities, explains Loeb. But this life-saving effect was canceled out6 once the numbers of phones reached a critical mass of about 100 million

32、and the life-taking effect - increased accidents and fatalities outweighed the benefits of quick access to 911 services, according to Loeb.Loeb and his co-authors used econometric models to analyze data from a number of government and private studies. He and his co-authors recommend that governments

37、D When the number of cell phones decreased to a certain number.3. What is said about cell phone use in paragraph 4?A The number of cell phones in use exploded in the late 1980s and part of the 1990s.B The number of traffic deaths was reduced in the late 1980s and part of the 1990s due to cell phone

B 短文第二段最后兩個(gè)句子提供了答案:在手機(jī)使用者達(dá)到 1 億的臨界點(diǎn)之前,手機(jī)的 使用的確減少了交通事故的死亡率。A、C 和 D 的表述內(nèi)容都沒有在文章中提到。3.

A第五段的大概意思是,80 年代中期,交通事故的死亡率增加,因?yàn)槿藗冞€在適應(yīng)這一 新事物,沒有足夠的手機(jī)讓人們在發(fā)生交通事故時(shí)及時(shí)求救。該段沒有討論 80 年代中 期手機(jī)數(shù)量的增減問題,所以 B、C 和 D 都是錯(cuò)誤選擇。5. B第六段最后一個(gè)句子說,

43、當(dāng)手機(jī)使用者數(shù)量達(dá)到 100 萬時(shí),life-saving effect 就被 抵消了,life-saving effect 超過了手機(jī)使用者能迅速呼叫 911 服務(wù)的優(yōu)點(diǎn)。所以,B 不是問題的答案。其他選項(xiàng)都表述了該段的內(nèi)容。第四十二篇Renewable Energy Sources Today petroleum provides around 40% of the worlds energy needs, mostly fuelling automobiles.

44、ter of our energy needs, but it is the least efficient, unhealthiest and most environmentally damaging fossil fuel. Natural gas reserves could plug some of the gap from oil, but reserves of that will not last into the 22nd century either. Most experts predict we will exhaust easily accessible reserv

45、es within 50 years. We could fast reach an energy crisis. We need to rapidly develop sustainable solutions to fuel our future. Less-polluting renewable energy sources offer a more practical long-term energy solution. They may benefit the worlds poor too. “Renewable” refers to the fact that these res

46、ources are not used faster than they can be replaced. Hydroelectric power is now the most common form of renewable energy, supplying around 20% of world electricity. Chinas three gorges Dam, which has just been completed, is the largest ever. At five times the size of the USs Hoover Dam, its 26 turb

47、ines will generate the equivalent energy of 18 coal-fired power stations. It will satisfy 3% of Chinas entire electricity demand. In 2003, the first commercial power station to harness tidal currents in the open sea opened in Norway. It is designed like windmill, but others take the form of turbines

48、. As prices fall, wind power has become the fastest growing type of electricity generation quadrupling worldwide between 1999 and 2005. Modern wind farms consist of turbines that generate electricity. Though it will be more expensive, there is more than enough wind to provide the worlds entire energ

54、le.答案與題解 :1. D 文章的第一段提到石油 (petroleum)、煤(coal)和天然氣(natural gas)三種礦物燃料 (fossil fuel),并且說這些可采掘到的燃料將在 50年的時(shí)間里用完,所以需要開發(fā)再生能源,文章后幾段提到了水資源和風(fēng)能這兩種 renewable resources。根據(jù)這一理解 D是正確選項(xiàng)。2. C A是錯(cuò)誤選項(xiàng).因?yàn)榈诙蔚诙湔f世界上第一個(gè)水利大壩建在英國 ;B是錯(cuò)誤的選項(xiàng),因?yàn)樵摱蔚谖寰渲赋鋈龒{大壩比美國的 Hoover大壩大五倍 ;該段第三句說水力發(fā)電為世界提供 20%的電能,所以 D也是錯(cuò)誤的選項(xiàng)。該段第四句則明確告訴我們 C是答案。

55、3. B文章第三段說 2003年挪威首次運(yùn)營利用潮汐進(jìn)行發(fā)電的商業(yè)電站。所以 B是正確選項(xiàng)。4. D 文章的第四段提到了 A、B、C的內(nèi)容,所以 D是正確選項(xiàng)。5. B 這個(gè)問題的理解依賴對整篇文章內(nèi)容的理解。文章的第一段昀后一句說 :refers to the fact that “Renewable”these resources are not used faster than they can be replaced.其意思是 :再生能源消耗的速度很慢,以至于不會(huì)被替代。所以這種能源是 sustainable。譯文:可再生能源現(xiàn)今,汽油滿足了世界上約百分之四十的能源需要,大多用來為汽車

56、提供燃料。煤仍被使用,主要是在發(fā)電站,以解決我們四分之一的能源需求。但煤卻是最無效率,最不健康,最不環(huán)保的礦物燃料。天然氣的儲(chǔ)量可填補(bǔ)部分石油短缺。但這些儲(chǔ)量也不能維持到22世紀(jì)。許多專家預(yù)計(jì),我們很容易在50年內(nèi)耗盡可采掘的燃料儲(chǔ)備。我們將很快遇到能源危機(jī)。我們需要立即發(fā)展可持續(xù)的方案來為未來提供能源。污染少的可再生能源為我們提供了一個(gè)更現(xiàn)實(shí)的長期解決方案。這些能源也會(huì)對世界上的窮人有益?!翱稍偕笔侵高@些能源被使用的速度低于其被更新的速度。2000多年前,中國人和羅馬人使用風(fēng)車。但第一個(gè)水電大壩是1870年建于英國?,F(xiàn)在的水力發(fā)電已是最常見的可再生能源,占世界電力總量的20。中國剛建成的三

59、icantly higher risk of cancer in the mouth and neck than do those taking their libations with food. Luigino Dal Maso and his colleagues studied the drinking patterns of 1,500 patients from four cancer studies2 and another 3,500 adults who had never had cancer. After the researchers accounted for the

60、 amount of alcohol consumed, they found that individuals who downed a significant share of their alcohol outside of meals3 faced at least a 50 to 80 percent risk of cancer in the oral cavity, pharynx, and esophagus, when compared with people who drank only at meals. Consuming alcohol without food al

61、so increased by at least 20 percent the likelihood of laryngeal4 cancer. “ Roughly 95 percent of cancers at these four sites5 traced to smoking or drinking6 by the study volunteers,” Dal Maso says. The discouraging news, his team reports, is that drinking with meals didnt eliminate cancer risk at an

62、y of the sites.For their new analysis,the European scientists divided people in the study into four groups,based on how many drinks they reported having in an average week7.
