Thanks to funding from the Heritage Lottery Fund, professional archaeologists from Wardell Armstrong will be investigating an archaeological mystery and they need your help.Romans?“The site is a bit of a mystery”, Frank Giecco from Wardell Armstrong said. “There is a very nice cropmark recorded on the site that has got lots of people very excited. Geophysicists failed to find anything relating to the cropmark. There is anecdotal evidence of Roman material being found, but nothing is officially recorded. We hope to finally answer the question of what is in this field, during the two weeks on site. Is there evidence of any Roman occupation on the site? Can you help us find out?”Get involvedThis is an opportunity for both adults and children to take part in field walking and trial trenching (small hand-dug test pits for children). No experience is necessary, training will be provided by the professional archaeologists from Wardell Armstrong, and all equipment will be provided. Volunteers can attend for as few or as many days as they wish, but they do need to book a place.For more information, and to book your place, please contact Norman Kirtlan at .56. If you intend to take part in the activity, you _.A. will be coached by experts in the fieldB. will be charged for using equipmentC. should spare two weeks to stay at the siteD. should have worked with archaeologists before57. Whats the main purpose of the passage?A. To seek funding for archaeological research.B. To find volunteers to help solve an archaeological mystery.C. To appeal for help in proving findings based on anecdotal evidence.D. To organize volunteers to help sort our data on the Roman occupation.BThe number of new deaths from the novel coronavirus（新型冠状病毒）reported in Wuhan, Hubei province, by Monday reaching the lowest in 10 days can indicate a change, said Qiu Haibo, a member on the expert panel of the National Health Commission.Qiu said in an interview with China Central Television on Tuesday that the number of new infections and new deaths is declining, which means that the measures adopted in the city have gradually taken effect. He said the critically ill patients were treated intensively . The 10 appointed hospitals with 8, 000 beds for critical patients had 1, 000 empty beds on Tuesday.Moreover, a large number of national medical teams have arrived in Wuhan since the beginning of February, bringing Wuhans treatment level to a national standard , he said. “In general, it can be said with caution and optimism that the treatment of critically ill patients has gradually shown its effect through the previous efforts,” he said.He said the declining number is also owing to more timely treatment since February when medical resources have become more sufficient. It may also be related to the nature of infectious diseases . As medical resources are becoming more and more sufficient and the countrys medical strength is gathered in Wuhan, they are confident that the number of critically ill patients will continue to drop.He added that the treatment has become more standardized and general patients can now receive more timely treatment to prevent them from becoming critically ill . The treatment concept has also changed from treating a single organ to multiple organs. “A series of progress in treatment and knowledge can help reduce the proportion of severe illness and increase the recovery rate,” he said.58. What is not the factor contributing the reduced number of new deaths?A. The virulence becomes weak as it gets warmer.B. Diverse resources have become more sufficient.C. Medical teams from across the country have come.D. There are many more beds in hospitals in Wuhan.59. Where can “that the virulence may be decreasing as the disease passes from person to person” be put in the passage?A. B. C. D. 60. What is the best title of the passage?A. Treatment has become more standardizedB. Ill patients are treated intensively in WuhanC. From treating a single organ to multiple organsD. Decline in new Wuhan deaths shows measures workCAs PhD research goes, Brian Wisenden was enviable, watching baby fish swimming swiftly through the clear waters in the Costa Rican tropical dry forest. By recording their growth and numbers, he hoped to look at their risks of being eaten. Instead, he witnessed something odd. Many groups were increasing in numbers. In these groups, some were smaller than others, suggesting they werent siblings（兄弟姐妹）. Wisenden had accidentally discovered that the fish, called convict cichlids, adopt each others babies. Why would they do that, he wondered?In the human world, we think of adoption as a selfless act. But in nature, its presence is puzzling. Taking on the burden of bringing up babies with no genetic link would seem to reduce an animals chances of survival or at least provide no gain. Yet, adoption is surprisingly common in the world.Take the eastern grey kangaroo. Between 2008 and 2013, Wisenden followed the fates of 326 baby kangaroos in the National Park in Victoria and recorded 11 cases of pouch swapping. The circumstances behind some of these adoptions arent known, but four were straight swaps and another four occurred after a mother had lost her own baby.How come? Before independence, baby kangaroos go through a period inside and outside their mothers pouch. Following out-of-pouch forays, mothers normally sniff their young before allowing them back in, but Wisendens team suspect that during an emergency they may skip the sniff test, allowing a vulnerable baby to quickly climb in before fleeing from danger. Once inside the wrong pouch, the young may fake the mothers odor, making them smell confusingly like her own progeny. So, poor baby recognition is the prime cause of “accidental” adoption.Some of natures adoptions are, actually, driven by young looking for better prospects. In burrower bugs, for example, females lay a nest of eggs close to those of unrelated bugs. Mother bugs tend their developing eggs before they hatch, then feed their babies nuts from weedy mint plants. Finding nuts is a competitive business, so not every mother bug gets her fair share. And if the delivery rate isnt up to scratch, clever young may abandon their mothers to join a better-fed group. Thats similar to behavior in several species of gull whose babies, if poorly fed, may leave home in search of better parents.The consequences of adoption following mistaken identity can be dire. The true babies of adopting mothers were abandoned. But it can have remarkable benefits, not just for adoptees but also for adoptive parents.61. It can be inferred from the passage that Wisendens findings are . A. too weird to be witnessed B. envied by his peer co-researchersC. out of his own expectations D. a sound proof of his research object62. Which is NOT the reason for adoption in the animal kingdom?A. Parents, inability to provide enough food.B. Baby animals looking for better parenting.C. Parents failure to recognize their own babies.D. Selfless adoption commonly seen in animal world.63. The underlined word “vulnerable” in the fourth paragraph means .A. independent and well-fed B. fragile and poorly raisedC. naughty and easily hurt D. weak and easily attacked64. What will the author most probably talk about next?A. The benefits for adopters. B. The consequences of adoption.C. The benefits for baby animals. D. The consequences of wrong identity.DAlthough Bertha Young was thirty she still had moments like this when she wanted to run instead of walk, to take dancing steps on and off the pavement, to throw something up in the air and catch it again, or to stand still and laugh at nothing at nothing, simply.What can you do if you are thirty and, turning the corner of your own street, you are overcome, suddenly by a feeling of happiness absolute happiness.Oh, is there no way you can express it without being “drunk and disorderly”? How stupid civilization is! Why should you be given a body if you have to keep it shut up in a case like a rare, rare fiddle(小提琴)?“No, that about the fiddle is not quite what I mean,” she thought, running up the steps and feeling in her bag for the key shed forgotten it, as usual and rattling the letter-box. “Its not what I mean, because Thank you, Mary” she went into the hall. “Is nurse back?”“Yes, M,m.”“Ill go upstairs.” And she ran upstairs to the nursery.Nurse sat at a low table giving Little B her supper after her bath. The baby looked up when she saw her mother and began to jump.“Now, my lovey, eat it up like a good girl,” said nurse, setting her lips in a way that Bertha knew, and that meant she had come into the nursery at another wrong moment.“Has she been good, Nanny
