megaliths, prehistoric large stone structures, sometimes acted as graves for family groups in northwestern europe thousands of years ago. the latest findings throw new light on the origins and social structure of the groups that built megaliths in this regiona history that has long been hidden in mystery.for their study, the international team of researchers analyzed the genomesthe complete set of genetic material in a cellof 24 stone age individuals from five megalithic burial sites in ireland, scotland and gotland, a large swedish island in the baltic sea.this analysis showed that many of the individuals buried at each megalith, who all lived between 3,800 b.c. and 2,600 b.c. according to radiocarbon-dating of their remains, were closely related via family ties.the results also showed that the individuals buried at the megaliths were related to neolithic farmers in northern and western europe but genetically distinct from other hunter-gatherers. this was particularly noticeable at the ansarve site on the island of gotland.“the people buried in the ansarve tomb are remarkably different on a genetic level compared to the individuals dug out from hunter-gather contexts, showing that the burial tradition in this megalithic tomb. which lasted for over 700 years, was performed by distinct groups with roots in the european neolithic expansion, magdalena fraser, co-first author from uppsala university, said in the statement.24 what is the significance of the findings?a. it reveals the family ties between people in ireland and sweden.b. it implies that many people buried in the tombs were closely related.c. it indicates the long-hidden mystery concerning dna analysis.d. it suggests that the megaliths became tombs thousands of years ago.25. how did the researchers reach their

buried in the tombs were related to farmers.b. few people buried in the tombs were genetically different.c. all the people buried at megaliths had family relationships.d. people buried in the ansarve tomb were dug out 700 years later.27. whats the main idea of this passage?a. megaliths served as tombs thousands of years ago.b. people buried at the megaliths were recently analyzed.c. latest findings shed light on a mystery about burials.d. stone-age people in lreland and sweden had close ties.cbeing highly successful in any field is pretty rare. it takes a combination of natural talent, luck, determination, and plenty of outside support for someone to make it big in sports, entertainment, or business. but what if competing is all that matters to you, whether you are likely to succeed or not? this was the goal of michael eddie the eagle edwards, and that he reached that goal was an amazing achievement.born in the u.k. in 1963, michael was an enthusiastic downhill skier whose dream was to compete for britain in world-class competitions. he would have liked to represent his country in the 1984 winter olympics, but there were a large number of downhill competitors, and edwards didnt qualify. seeing his chance elsewhere, he switched to ski jumping. ski jumping didnt cost nearly as much, and there was almost no competition for a place on the britain team.but a number of hurdles (障碍）could have meant the end of edwards dream. he weighed more than most competitors, which put him at a disadvantage. he had no financial support for his training. poor eyesight meant that he had to wear glasses under his goggles (护目镜）not a good thing when they steamed up at high altitudes. but he couldnt let any of this discourage him. he saw himself as a true lover of the sport who simply wanted the chance to compete. winning wasnt the point. having the opportunity to try was all he cared about. and nothing could stop him from trying. in the end, edwards took 55th place in the 1987 world championships. he then went on to the calgary olympics in 1988, where he finished last in both of his events. many athletes would have been embarrassed by this result, but he is proud of his achievement to this day. his determination to fight against all the odds made him a global hero, and in 2016, the inspiring film eddie the eagle was made about his life.28. what is the purpose of the first paragraph?a. to add some background information.b. to uncover the secret of success.c. to expect an answer from readers.d. to introduce the topic.29. why did michael edwards choose ski

germanys northern lower saxony state. the new train will run 100-kilometer trips and can travel up to 140 kilometers an hour.a french railroad company called alstom built the two trains. team in germany and france cooperated on the project, which was supported by the german government. the new train model, called the coradia ilint, signals the beginning of efforts in germany and other nations to move away from pollution-producing diesel(柴油) trains.the coradia ilint is designed to run on non-electrified train lines with low levels of noise. it uses a process that combines hydrogen and oxygen to produce electrical power. if the system produces more energy than the train needs at that time, it can store the extra energy in batteries. the only emissions (排放物) are water and steam.a single tank of hydrogen can run a coradia ilint train for about 1,000 kilometers. this is very similar to the distance a diesel-powered train can run on with a single tank.hydrogen-powered trains cost more than diesel trains to build. but alstom officials say the operating costs are much lower. the company plans to provide another 14 coradia ilint trains to lower saxony by 2021. the head of railroad operations in the area, carmen schwabl, praised replacing diesel trains with hydrogen. she said the move was an important first step in using clean-burning technologies to reach climate protection goals. officials say the areas many wind turbines (涡轮机）will produce part of the energy to create the hydrogen to power the trains.alstom says several other european countries have also expressed interest in developing hydrogen train systems. france has already said it wants its first hydrogen train to be operating by 2022.32. why did germany build the new trains?a. to replace diesel trains. b. to carry more passengers.c. to make traveling much easier. d. to develop friendship with france.33. what is one advantage of the coradia ilint?a. it runs without making any noise. b. it

pollution d. can produce water and oxygen35. what might be the best title for the text?a. saving natural resources b. efforts to reduce emissionsc. worlds first hydrogen trains d. a new way to make
