adults because their bodies never had to milk drinking simply wasnt an optionas people began to extract milk from animals, though, some people developed the ability to keep drinking it throughout their lives scientists mow know of a milk-related mutation(变异) in our genesthe chemical instructions for life that we carry in almost every cell in our bodiespeople who have a mutated form of one particular gene can drink milk just finepeople without the mutation tend to get sick from milk to figure out where, and possibly why, milk drinking started, some scientists have been looking at who has the milk-digesting mutation to day pattems are striking most adults in northern and central europe are able to digest milkand they docheese, butter and other dairy products are popular in countries such as sweden, denmark, germany and englandbecause european settlers dominated north america, most people here can handle milk just fine, as wellthat may explain why ice cream is such a popular dessert in the united states in much of africa, asia and south america, on the other hand, people tend to avoid dairy products because they lead to diarrhea（腹泻） and other stomach problems（thats why you wont typically find cheese on the menu at a chinese, japanese or ethiopian restaurant） native americans are also unable to digest milk based on these genetic patterns, scientists have long thought that milk drinking started in northern europe, where dairy is an institution and the milk-digesting mutation is everywhere a recent study painted a different picturewith a computer model, thomas and colleagues looked at the spread of the milk-drinking mutation, farming and other related factorsworking backward, the scientists concluded that the first milk-drinkers lived in central europe around whats now hungary about 7500 years agothe practice didnt start farther north, as scientists had thought before62which of the following is the proper order of events according

startedd walk through the amazon rainforest today and you will find it is steamy, warm, damp and thickbut if you had been around 15000 years ago, during the last ice age, would it have been the same? for more than 30 years, scientists have been arguing about how rainforests like the amazon might have reacted to the cold dry climates of the ice ages, but until now, no one has reached a satisfying answer rainforests like the amazon are important for mopping up co2 from the atmosphere and helping to slow global warmingcurrently the trees in the amazon take in around 500 million tons of co2 each year: equal to the total amount of co2 giving off in the ukeach yearbut how will the amazon react to future climate change? if it gets drier, will it still survive and continue to draw down co2? scientists hope that they will be able to learn in advance how the rainforest will manage in the future by understanding how rainforests reacted to climate change in the past unfortunately, getting into the amazon rainforest and collecting information are very difficultto study past climate, scientists need to look at fossilized pollen （花粉） kept in lake mudgoing back to the last ice age means drilling deep down into lake sediments（沉淀物），which requires specialized equipment and heavy machinerythere are very few roads and paths, or places to land helicopters and aeroplanesrivers tend to be the easiest way to enter the forest, but this still leaves vast areas between the rivers completely unsampledso far, only a handful of cores have been drilled that go back to the last ice age and none of them provide enough information to prove how the amazon rainforest reacts to climate change67the underlined phrases“mopping up” in the 2ndparagtaph means acleaning upbtaking incsending offdgiving out68how will the amazon rainforest react to future climate change?aitll get drier and continue to remove co2bitll remain steamy, warm, damp and thickcitll continue to help slow global warmingd there is no exact answer up to present.69whats the main idea of the last paragraph?athere is little information to study the past climate bits impossible to prove how climate changes in the amazon rainforestcits hard to collect information for studies of the past climate in the amazon rainforestdits necessary to have specialized equipment and machinery to study the past climate70the best title for the passage may be _athe history of the rainforests bclimates of the amazoncsecrets of the rainforests dchanges of the rainforests第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。as
