A
Small discoveries in Indonesia are causing a stir in the science world. Researchers have unearthed (挖掘) tiny bones that they believe belong to an entirely new human species. If that’s true, it will change how we think about our ancestors.
Clues that the little people may have lived long ago were first revealed last year in the scientific journal Nature. Scientists said that they had found the bones of a three-foot-tall female on the island of Flores, in Indonesia. When they looked more closely, they saw that the nearly complete skeleton (骨骼) belonged to a full-grown adult. Researchers named her Hobbit, after the tiny heroes of the Lord of the Rings books.
Now the team is saying it has unearthed even more pieces of the puzzle, including a jawbone and parts of arms, legs and hands from several individuals, as well as stone tools. They reported their find in Nature this month. “The new evidence makes it very clear that these people are a new species, distinct from modern humans,” Peter Brown, a scientist on the team, said. They named these ancient humans Homo floresiensis.
Brown says that these little people lived as recently as 12,000 years ago. If Homo floresiensis was a different species from modern humans, that would make our family tree bigger than we knew. It means, says Brown, that “until recently, a relative shared the planet with us.”
Many scientists think a new species is unlikely. Some argue that the bones must have belonged to modern humans whose small size was the result of a genetic problem.
Daniel E. Lieberman, a scientist at Harvard University, thinks that the debate over the discovery is healthy. He believes that the questions and arguments raised by critics will help us learn more about these unusual skeletons. “Disagreement is an important part of the scientific process,” Lieberman said. “As far as I’m concerned, the story’s only just begun.”
56. Researchers name the skeleton Hobbit because _____.
A. it is a figure described in the Lord of the Rings B. it resembles the tiny heroes in a set of books
C. it proves to be a full-grown adult D. it belongs to an ancient human species
57. Small discoveries in Indonesia are important because _____.
A. they are revealed in the scientific journal Nature B. they are made by Peter Brown, a famous scientist
C. they are about ancestors of modern humans D. they might provide new evidence for human study
58. According to Daniel E. Lieberman, _____.
A. Homo floresiensis doesn’t exist B. disagreement leads to further research
C. the investigation hasn’t begun yet D. our family tree is bigger than we knew
59. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?
A. Comparison between Different Peoples B. Arguments over Human Origin
C. Discovery of a Possible New Human Species D. History of Indonesian People
B
Rail passengers are being forced to pay thousands of pounds more in fares as a result of poor advice from the national telephone helpline and individual stations, a consumer organisation reveals today. Research by Which? found that in some cases passengers are being charged almost double the cheapest price because of errors made by staff.
Which? asked 25 questions of both station staff and the National Rail Enquiries (NRES) helpline. Only half of the 50 questions were answered correctly. If customers had followed all the advice given, they would have been £1,263.60 worse off.
Bad advice was given for the cheapest fare for a single journey between London and Grantham. For a ticket bought on the day of travel, both NRES and a King’s Cross station clerk quoted GNER’s £44.50 fare, ignoring a Hull Trains service which leaves 10 minutes earlier and costs just £20.
Some of the most costly misinformation was given for journeys where season tickets should have been recommended. Passengers making a return journey between Swindon and Penzance twice in a week could buy a ticket from one company for £70 which would cover all the travel. But both NRES and station staff quoted £67 for each journey, making £134. However, the NRES website proved to be a much more reliable source of information.
Which? also checked “the earlier you book, the cheaper the ticket” claims by five companies and found this was not always the case. On some services, prices went up and down at random.
Ithiel Mogridge, 52, gave one example of poor advice: “Last Christmas I found my brother a ticket on the thetrainline.com to travel from Blackburn to Yate. While the direct route was £51, this one involved a change in Newport and cost just £21. I emailed the details to him and his partner. They went to Blackburn station, where the clerk insisted the fare was £51.”
Malcolm Coles, editor of which.co.uk, said: “Staff training needs to be improved. In the meantime, we’ve designed a checklist, available at which.co.uk/railadvice.”
60. According to the passage, “Which?” is a _____.
A. national telephone helpline B. department under the British Rail
C. consumer organisation D. website under the National Rail Enquiries
61. When the author said that customers “would have been £1,263.60 worse off”, he was telling us that customers would have _____.
A. saved £1,263.60 if they had followed the advice B. spent £1,263.60 more than the lowest price
C. used £1,263.60 for the survey of 25 questions D. been cheated of £1,263.60 from the poor advice
62. The phrase at random in paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to “_____”.
A. casually B. purposefully C. exactly D. inevitably
63. The passage is mainly concerned with the phenomenon that _____.
A. train passengers get bad advice on fares B. rail passengers are ill-treated by station staff
C. booking clerks and the telephone helpline offer reliable information
D. rail passengers can get cheaper tickets if they book earlier
C
Since the making in 1086 of the Domesday Survey, a detailed compilation(编纂) that enabled the earliest reasonable estimate of England’s population to be made (the survey did not cover other areas),the number of people has been increasing. This growth has continued despite some setbacks, by far the most serious of which was the Black Death in the mid-14th century, in which it is estimated that about one third of the population died. There is little concrete information, however, concerning variation in rates of births to deaths and of immigration to emigration until 1801,when the first official census(人口普查) was taken. The assumption is that a population of about two million lived in what became the United Kingdom at the end of the 11th century and that this figure had increased to about 12 million by 1801. This slow growth rate, in contrast with that of more modern times, resulted mainly from the fact that a high birth rate was accompanied by an almost equally high death rate. It is estimated that in the first half of the 18th century three quarters of the children born in London died before they reached adolescence. Despite the awful living conditions it produced, the Industrial Revolution resulted in an acceleration of the birth rate; gradually the greater medical knowledge, improved nutrition, and concern for public health that characterized the 19th and 20th centuries bore fruit in a lower death rate and an overall increase in population. Since the 1930s the population has experienced a complete cycle in its pattern of growth. A low rate of increase during the 1930s was followed by a postwar marriage boom that gave rise to an acceleration in the rate of growth, reaching a peak during the mid-1960s. Since 1964, a considerable fall in the birth rate has brought about a dramatic decline in growth, even giving rise to an absolute decline between 1974 and 1978.
64. Which of the following statements is true as to the Domes Day Survey?
A It was made in 1086 to show the variation in population growth in England.
B It was a compilation that first gave an estimation of the population of England.
C It gave an account of the Black Death in the mid-14th century.
D It studied the relation of birth rate to death rate.
65. In 1801, it was discovered that _________.
A. one third of the population died in the Black Death
B. the population had increased rapidly due to higher rates of birth and immigration
C. the population had grown very slowly since 1086 D. 10 million children had been born since 1086
66. The population growth in England began to increase rapidly _______.
A. since 1801 when the first official census was taken B. in the 18th century when industrial revolution began
C. in the 19th century when death rate was greatly reduced D. in the 1930s before the world war Ⅱ broke out
67. The growth rate of population reached the highest point ________.
A. in the1930s B. during mid-1960s C. between 1964 and 1967 D. between 1974 and 1978
D
While researchers have long shown that tall people earn more than their shorter counterparts, it's not only social discrimination that accounts for this inequality -- tall people are just smarter than their height-challenged peers, a new study finds.
"As early as age three -- before schooling has had a chance to play a role -- and throughout childhood, taller children perform significantly better on cognitive tests," wrote Anne Case and Christina Paxson of Princeton University in a paper published by the National Bureau of Economic Research.
The findings were based primarily on two British studies that followed children born in 1958 and 1970, respectively, through adulthood and a U.S. study on height and occupational choice.
Other studies have pointed to low self-esteem, better health that accompanies greater height, and social discrimination as culprits(罪犯) for lower pay for shorter people.
But researchers Case and Paxson believe the height advantage in the job world is more than just a question of image.
"As adults, taller individuals are more likely to select into higher paying occupations that require more advanced verbal and numerical skills and greater intelligence, for which they earn handsome returns," they wrote.
For both men and women in the United States and the United Kingdom, a height advantage of four inches equated with a 10 percent increase in wages on average.
But the researchers said the differences in performance crop up long before the tall people enter the job force. Prenatal care(产前护理) and the time between birth and the age of 3 are critical periods for determining future cognitive ability and height.
"Prenatal care and prenatal nutrition are just incredibly important, even more so than we already knew," Case said in an interview.
Since the study's data only included populations in the United Kingdom and the United States, the findings could not be applied to other regions, Case said.
And how tall are the researchers?
They are both about 5 feet 8 inches tall, well above the average height of 5 feet 4 inches for American women.
68. What can be learnt from the study of Anne Case and Christina Paxson is that ______ .
A. the reason for lower pay for shorter people is social discrimination
B. taller children perform significantly better on cognitive test
C. tall people earn more than shorter counterparts
D. prenatal care and prenatal nutrition are less important than we already knew
69. Which period is the most important for determining future cognitive ability and height?
A. between age 3 and schooling B. between birth and the age of 3
C. the whole childhood D. between 1958 and 1970
70. The underlined phrase “crop up” in the Eighth Paragraph is closest in meaning to ______.
A. get in B. rise up C. come up D. stand up
71. The best title for this passage would be _______.
A. Tall people earn more than shorter counterparts B. A study on height and occupational choice
C. The difference between tall people and short people D. Taller people are smarter

As soon as it was revealed that a reporter for Progressive magazine had discovered how to make a hydrogen bomb, a group of firearm fans formed the National Hydrogen Bomb Association, and they are now lobbying against any legislation (立法) to stop Americans from owning one.
“The Constitution(宪法),” said the association’s spokesman, “gives everyone the right to own arms. It doesn’t spell out what kind of arms. But since anyone can now make a hydrogen bomb, the public should be able to buy it to protect themselves.”
“Don’t you think it’s dangerous to have one in the house, particularly where there are children around?”
“The National Hydrogen Bomb Association hopes to educate people in the safe handling of this type of weapon. We are instructing owners to keep the bomb in a locked cabinet and the fuse (导火索) separately in a drawer.”
“Some people consider the hydrogen bomb a very fatal weapon which could kill somebody.”
The spokesman said, “Hydrogen bombs don't kill people—people kill people. The bomb is for self protection and it also has a deterrent effect. If somebody knows you have a nuclear weapon in your house, they're going to think twice about breaking in.”
