threatens research into the history of humans in britain, a group of leading archaeologists(考古学家) says. i a letter addressed to the justice secretary, ken clarke, 40 archaeologists write of their “deep and widespread concern” about the issue. it centers on the law introduced by the ministry of justice in 2008 which requires all human remains unearthed in england and wales to be reburied within two years, regardless of their age. the decision means scientists have too little time to study bones and other human remains of national and cultural significance.“your current requirement that all archaeologically unearthed human remains should be reburied, whether after a standard period of two years or further special extension, is contrary to basic principles of archaeological and scientific research and of museum practice,” they write. the law applies to any pieces of bone uncovered at around 400 dig sites, including the remains of 60 or so bodies found at stonehenge in 2008 that date back to 3,000 bc. archaeologists have been granted a temporary extension to give them more time, but eventually the bones will have to be returned to the ground.the arrangements may result in the waste of future discoveries at sites such as happisburgh in norfolk, where digging is continuing after the discovery of stone tools made by early humans 950,000 years ago. if human remains were found at happisburgh, they would be the oldest in northern europe and the first indication of what this species was. under the current practice of the law those remains would have to be reburied and effectively destroyed.before 2008, guidelines allowed for the proper preservation and study of bones of sufficient age and historical interest, while the burial act 1857 applied to more recent remains. the ministry of justice assured archaeologists two years ago that the law was temporary, but has so far failed to revise it.mike parker pearson, an archaeologist at sheffield university, said: “archaeologists have been extremely patient because we wee led to believe the ministry was sorting out this problem, but we feel that we cannot wait any longer.”the ministry has no guidelines on where or how remains should be reburied, or on what records should be kept.1. according to the passage, scientists are unhappy with the law mainly because _.a. it is only a temporary measure on the human remainsb. it is unreasonable and thus destructive to scientific researchc. it was introduced by the government without their knowledged. it is vague about where and how to rebury human remains2. which of the following statements is true according to the passage?a. temporary extension of two years will guarantee scientists enough time.b. human remains of the oldest species wee dug out at happisburgh.c. human remains will have to be reburied despite the extension of time.d. scientists have been warned that the law can hardly be changed.3. what can be inferred about the british law governing human remains?a. the ministry of justice did not intend it to protect human remains.b. the burial act 1857 only applied to remains uncovered before 1857.c. the law on human remains hasnt changed in recent decades.d. the ministry of justice has not done enough about the law.4. which of the following might be the best title of the passage?a. new discoveries should be reburied, the government demands.b. research time should be extended, scientists require.c. law on human remains needs thorough discussion, authorities say.d. law could bury ancient secrets for ever, archaeologists warn.【参考答案】14、阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（a、b、c、d）中，选出最佳选项。【2014二模】firefighters had largely tamed a tower of flame and smoke that covered the sun and drove thousands from their homes in the foothill suburbs

if it became necessary. nighttime bursts brought a few flame-ups, but they remained within fire lines.two firefighters had minor injuries and a woman trying to fight the fire near her home suffered a

can work on. in fact, you can exercise your brain as often as you work out your arms or abs-and the results can be positive and empowering. its helpful to think of your brain as you work out a muscle. to improve your brain, you cant simply repeat the same exercises over and over. just as lifting a two pound weight will no longer challenge you, so will repetitive exercises such as crosswords or sudoku. once you master easy exercises, you must move on to harder ones in order to push your brainlike your musclesto a new level.scientists once believed that your mental abilities were fixed in adulthood. now that studies on neuroplasticity have shown just the opposite, millions of people around the world have adopted the new practice of brain training.the most popular of these brain training products is made by the san francisco-based lumosity, which employs a team of in-house neuroscientists with degrees from stanford and uc berkeley. realizing that brains need more sophisticated programs and guidance to grow and change, lumositys scientists work with an experienced team of game designers. together theyve developed a fun, effective online brain training program that measures, tracks, and adapts to your progress so youll always be challenged. lumositys training system and 40+ games are based on well-studied tests used in clinical neuropsychology research.in a 2013 stanford study, a treatment group of 21 breast cancer survivors used 12 weeks of lumosity training to work on processing speed, mental flexibility, and working memory tasks. on average, those who trained improved on tests of these abilities, compared to a group that did not train with lumosity. there is even some first round evidence suggesting that lumosity may be beneficial to normal, healthy adults. in a 2011 study by lumosity and san francisco state university researchers, 13 people who did lumosity training over 5 weeks improved on tests of brain performance compared to a group that did not train. on average, those who trained improved working memory scores by 10% and attention scores by 20%.training can take just a few minutes a day, but the rewards can make a difference in many aspects of life. the goal of brain training is not to improve game scores: its to improve the underlying core abilities that those games rely on. lumosity is one of the first and most popular brain training programs in existence. theres a small fee to use the full product, or new users can start a free trial.66. what is the best title for the passage?a. brain training can make a difference.b. brain traininga new science.c. brain training can keep you fit. d. brain trainingan open online course.67. in order to improve our brain, we can _.a. do the same exercises day after dayb. challenge it with harder exercises day by dayc. work out crosswords every dayd. adapt to physical change68. according to the passage, what is lumosity?a. it is a team of in-house neuroscientists.b. it is a team of experienced game designers.c. it is an online brain training program.d. it is a clinical brain training research.69. in paragraph 4, the writer gives so many figures to _. a. explain the cause of lumosityb. clarify the principle of lumosity c. confirm the process of lumosityd. show the effect of lumosity70. it seems to us that the passage is exactly _. a. an ad.b.

memorial day, it was treated as a national event and even international media took notice. in advance of the launch, one blog post on le mondes website claimed, “bike share to conquer america.”the

share to the world in 1998 by replacing coin operation with card access and electronic booths. from there the technology has progressed, picking up gps and real-time tracking along the way, and has
