they ate fruits, manioc(树薯) and corn and only had cloths made of tree barks(皮). they even built a tree house.they are ho van thanh, 82, and his son, ho van lang, 42, who were found by some local people while they were travelling in a deep forest.being very surprised by abnormal appearances, gestures and manners of the “jungle men”, these people reported their finding to the local government, who set up a team to look for them, and after five hours of search in the forest, caught the father and son staying in a small hut built on some branches of a large tree.due to being isolated from social contact for a long time, both father and son could only speak a little of the language of the local place.after carrying out an investigation into the mens identity, they found that thanh once lived a normal life with his family at a local village 40years ago. but one day at that time, a bombing happened in the village, killing thanhs mother and three of his four children on the spot. it is suspected that due to the shock, thanh took his remaining son, 2 years old at the time, and ran away into this jungle. he and the son, now ho van lang, had since lived their lonely life, without contact with anyone. their daily foods were fruits and manioc they found in the forest. it is believed that they also planted corn for food.the district government has asked the local health agency to make medical check-ups for the father and son, the first in a process to get them back to society.28. which best describes the father and the son when they were found?a.hungry. b frightened c.

was no food at his village.30. what can we know about the father and the sons life in the jungle?a.they didnt have normal clothes to wear. b. they enjoyed staying in their small hut.c. they got ill

talk about terrible influence of war. d. to persuade people to help others.da british study showed that young men in the united kingdom have grown by 10 centimeters since the turn of the 20th century.in the study, the average height of british men, who had an average age of 20, was about 168 centimeters at the turn of the century, whereas now they stand on average at about 178 cm. the increase is most likely related to improved nutrition and health services, said the researchers from the university of essex in colehester(科尔切斯特).in a number of other developed countries, people have been growing taller, too, reaching the worlds current greatest average height of 1.85 meters in the netherlands. interestingly, americans were the tallest people in the world by world war ii, measuring 1.77meters, but by the end of the 20th century, they fell behind, and the average u.s. has stopped rising.and even in some of those countries where the average height has been rising, the increase has not been uniform. for instance, after years of communist rule, people from former east germany are still catching up height-rise with former west germans. and in some non-western countries that have been bothered by war, disease and other serious problems, average height has decreased at one point in time or another. for instance, there was a decline in the average height among blacks in south africa between the end of the 19th century and 1970. the decline was likely related to the effects of poor socio -economic conditions before and during apartheid (种族隔离).the generation- after- generation effects of something bad that happened to a mother gets carried on to her children and her grandchildren, and it takes about five generations to overcome just one generation of starvation, or epidemic illness, or something like that.32. which is the best title for the passage?a. people have grown taller. b. the reason for height rise.c. how different are people? d. who are the tallest people? 33. what probably caused british mens height increase according to the study?a. their birthplace. b. their young age.c. more rest time. d. better nutrition34. what does the underlined word “uniform” mean?a. rapid b. the same c. obvious d. important 35. what do we know about peoples height rise according to the last two paragraph?a. peoples height has stopped rising in germany. b. there isnt height rise in non-western countries.c. height rise can probably be influenced by wars. d. peoples height rise isnt related to their mothers.第二节
