12、mely connected world, (78)people appear to have more chances to get into contact with one another than ever. Yet societies known as uncontacted peoples remain in parts of the world. These are communities with little contact with the wider world. It is estimated that about one hundred groups of uncon

13、tacted peoples exist today. In general, these groups remain uncontacted by choice; because of this, it is impossible to know much about their societies. For example, North Sentinel Island in the Indian Ocean is home to a group that clearly wishes to stay separate from the rest of the world. They are

14、 referred to as the North Sentinelese. North Sentinel Island is one of the Andaman Islands, which are part of India. While groups on other Andaman Islands have slowly accepted tourism and development, the North Sentinelese fire warning arrows from their beaches at any boat that approaches their land

15、. Over many decades, gifts and other efforts from outsiders have been rejected. From what little we know about their language, they have probably been isolated for tens of thousands of years. Why might uncontacted peoples choose to remain isolated? Unfortunately, in many cases these groups past enco

16、unters with the outside world were violent. Former members of uncontacted groups have said that after friends and family were attacked or killed by outsiders, they avoided any kind of contact. Even peaceful contact can have disastrous effects. Many uncontacted groups have never been exposed to disea

17、ses, not even the common cold or flu. As a result, they often dont have immunity to these diseases, meaning that even minor contact with outsiders has resulted in deadly outbreaks. Its not surprising, then, that some groups prefer to keep to themselves. 6. What is the passage mainly about? A. Societ

18、ies known as “uncontacted peoples. B. The North Sentinelese. C. Encounters with uncontacted peoples. D. Contact with groups on the Andaman islands. 7.

21、wing passage: There are more species(种类of beetles(甲虫than any other form of life. About 380,000 species of beetles are known to exist, and more are discovered all the time. (79) There are several theories about why there are so many beetles, but evidence shows that beetles have the lowest extinction

22、rate of any animal ever. One of the reasons beetles survive so well is their body design. Most beetle species have two pairs of wings. The front pair of a beetles wings are hard and thick. These project he rear set of wings and the beetles stomach region. They are not used for flying. Indeed, some s

23、pecies of beetles have lost the ability to fly, but they are still equipped with front wings. Beetles can also eat a wide range of foods. Beetle species live all over the world, and they have many different types of food available to them. Most beetles are omnivores. That means they eat both plants

24、and animals. The mixed diets help beetles adapt to many different environments. Finally, beetles are good at moving quickly over long distances. Any change in an animals environment can be dangerous to it, but some species can avoid dangerous environment changes by migrating to a new place. Research

25、 shows that beetles respond quickly to shifts in temperature. They can migrate to safer environments. Beetles bodies and habits help give them an edge over other creatures. (80) They are unlikely to die out. As a result, beetles make up nearly one quarter of all animal species. There are more types

26、of beetles on earth than there are types of plants. Some types of beetles that exist today were around during the Permian period of history, 284 million years ago. Beetles, clearly, are here to stay. 11. What is the passage mainly about? A. Why beetles have two pairs of wings. B. Why there are so ma
