张静中学2014高考英语一轮阅读题及答案七(*)people have been acting like peoplein other words, theyve been making tools, creating ceremonies, and sharing foodfor a long time. thats the conclusion of a recent study from south africas southern coast. there, in a cave lying above the sea, researchers from arizona state university have found evidence that humans were behaving in surprisingly complex ways as early as 164,000 years ago. our species, homo sapiens, appeared an estimated 200,000 years ago. the cave held three important clues about the behavior of these stone age people. first, the researchers found the remains of all kinds of shellfish. the people who lived in the cave probably collected these creatures from rocky shores and tide pools and brought them to the cave to eat. the researchers propose the early africans moved to the south african coast between 195,000 and 130,000 years ago. around that time, the climate inland turned relatively cold and dry. therefore, there were fewer plants and animals to eat away from the coast. when these ancient people moved to the coast, they probably experienced a major cultural shift, the researchers suspect. thats because observations of modern huntergatherer societies suggest that men are more likely to hunt for big animals when people live inland. on the coast, women play a more important role in providing food by gathering plants and shellfish. as for the second clue, the researchers unearthed 57 pieces of reddish pigment(颜料). the researchers think that the cave habitants used the paint for coloring their bodies or for other ceremonies. symbolic behavior is a clearly human feature. finally, the search discovered over 1,800 stone tools, including wellcrafted blades(刀片). these blades came in various sizes. the smallest were just less than a halfinch wide. ancient people may have attached these blades to the end of a stick to make spears or other tools.

(二)在南非南部海岸一个洞穴里所发现的古代非洲人的行为说明：人类自古以来一直就像人一样地生活，即一直制造工具，创立仪式和分享食物，最后经过漫长的历史发展到今天。11a主旨大意题。文章首先提出：古代人类一直就像人那样地生活，接着指出：在南非南部海岸一个洞穴里发现的古代非洲人的行为线索就说明这一点，之后第三段提出the cave held three important clues about the behavior of these stone age people.下文便介绍“the cave habitants behavior”，由此判断全文的主要内容是：ancient cave behavior。b项过于抽象，c、d两项与文章内容不符合。12c细节理解题。根据第五段around that time, the climate inland turned relatively cold and dry. therefore, there were fewer plants and animals to eat away from the coast.可知，古代非洲人是因为内陆气候相对寒冷干燥致使能吃的动植物越来越少才不得不南迁至海岸，由此可知，其南迁的主要目的是为了寻找食物求生存。故选c。13a细节理解题。根据倒数第二段the researchers think that the cave habitants used the paint for coloring their bodies or for other ceremonies.可知，洞穴人会用颜料装饰，故选a。非洲人南迁才成了洞穴人，捕猎是他们南迁成为洞穴人之前的生活方式，故排除b；c项错在“onlyrough blades”；d项内容在文中未提到。14d细节理解题。根据第六段men are more likely to hunt for big animals when people live inland. on the coast, women play a more important role in providing food by gathering plants and shellfish.可判断d项正确。15b推理判断题。由第一段可知，在南非南部海岸一个洞穴里发现的古代非洲人的行为线索说明了：人类自古以来一直就像人那样地生活，即一直制造工具，创立仪式和分享食物，最后经过漫长的历史发展到今天，即：现代人的行为是从古代逐渐发展而来的，故选b项。*结束.完形填空words：323难度系数：建议用时：17分钟oliver twist，one of the most

books. choose books that are slightly below his level of reading ability. dont forget what your child likes to do when choosing books for him. dont comment about the books. simply leave the books lying on the table where your child is sure to see them. computer games are not as harmful as most parents usually think them to be. instead, you should take advantage of your childs love of computer games to purchase those that require a lot of reading and avoid those that are simply computerized video games.buy your child a bedside reading lamp, or a tiny book light. tell him that from now on, he must be in bed by a specific time (say 8:30) and that he can either sleep or read. most kids will do anything else rather than go to sleep, so theres a chance youll create a new bedtime reading habit.many children will read when they are sitting alone having a snack, or when they have a few minutes of unplanned free time. put a box of books and magazines near the kitchen table so that reading material is accessible. often, once children learn to read independently, parents stop reading to them. this change of routine causes great sadness to a child who has come to love falling asleep as you read. even a teenager will enjoy being read to if you pick books that interest him. select books together, and make sure theyre ones you enjoy as well, so your enjoyment will come through as you read to them.50. to make children become interested in reading, parents should _. a. tell them what they can learn from these booksb. choose books based on their interestc. choose the

sounded. these sirens were not in celebration; they were a cry to the university that something was wrong. a house, only one block away, was on fire. nine of the universitys students lived there. from the minute the word got out that help was needed, it seemed like everyone showed up. the victims (受灾者) of the fire were offered endless invitations for housing for the night. the very next day, everyone got_into_gear to do their part in helping them. flyers( handbills) were posted with items that were immediately needed, just to get these students through this next couple of days. boxes for donations (捐赠品) and money jars were placed in every residence hall (学生宿舍) as a residence director, i went before the students in my hall to ask them to do what they could. i knew that college students dont have much, but i asked them to do their best: “every little bit will help.” i really didnt think they could do much. i was proved wrong. at the hall council meeting the night after the fire, my residents decided to have a wing competition, where each wing of the building would team up to see who could bring in the most donations. i announced that the wing who won would receive a free pizza party. thursday evening we announced over the pa system that we were beginning the wing competition. within minutes, the place exploded. the single large box that i had placed in the lobby (大厅) was
