21、 Scientists dug up human remains from the Stonehenge dating back to about 5,000 years ago. To our surprise, people journeyed far to get to the Wessex site. These men and women potentially played a huge role in the construction of Stonehenge.
The study, published in the journal Scientific Reports, reveals that a number of people buried at the Wessex monument originated from West Wales, which is also the source of the bluestones used in Stonehenge’s early construction.
According to a report from the University College London, scientists from Oxford and Belgium came together to analyze 25 of the burials dug in 2008. Many of them were buried around 3,000 BC, which is around the time when the bluestones were put up to form the Aubrey holes around Stonehenge. The famous stones weren’t built until 500 years later. The team used chemical isotope (同位素) analysis and radiocarbon dating (放射性碳年代测定法) the study and found out that at least 10 of the 25 individuals analyzed didn’t live near the Stonehenge site but in western Britain. This region includes West Wales, where the bluestones were sourced. Furthermore, the wood that was used to burn the bodies was also found to have come from different trees. Some of the pieces of trees come from trees in dense woodland, many of which are found in West Wales. Some of the individuals may have been cremated elsewhere before being buried in Stonehenge.
The researchers suggest that these prehistoric people may have been part of the sacred site’s early construction crew. They may have been the ones to transport the bluestone materials from the Preseli Mountains in West Wales. The findings are an interesting revelation, particularly since it means that there were significant interregional connections that existed as far back as 5,000 years ago. Even back then, in the Neolithic Period (新石器时代), human civilization had wide contacts and exchanges.
【1】According to the text, some of the people buried at the Wessex monument came from .
A.the Wessex site B.West Wales
C.dense woodland D.the Stonehenge site
【2】What can we learn from the third paragraph?
A.The Aubrey holes formed before Stonehenge.
B.The bodies were buried about 3000 years ago.
C.The research objects mostly lived near the Stonehenge site.
D.Stonehenge appeared around the Aubrey holes around 3000 BC.
【3】What does the underlined word “cremated” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A.Hidden. B.Covered. C.Burned. D.Displayed.
【4】Why did the buried people most probably come to Wessex?
A.To recall their past days. B.To see the local king.
C.To build Stonehenge. D.To transport the bluestone materials.
【5】What does the study indicate?
A.Human contacts and exchanges began even a long time ago.
B.It is important to study the history of Stonehenge.
C.Wessex used to be a powerful country in Europe.
D.The early construction crew promoted interregional connections.
22、We’ve all been told that different types of fruits and vegetables have different benefits that help us keep healthy. A new international study has found that eating one fruit regularly can help reduce the risk of cancer (癌症), among those people who have a high risk of developing certain cancers.
The research, which followed almost 1,000 patients with a variety of cancers, found that taking regular resistant starch (抗酶解淀粉) could have a great preventative effect on the risk of cancer. Here’s what you need to know about how eating bananas regularly can help reduce the risk of cancers.
Resistant starch is found in green bananas. By eating green bananas your body gets resistant starch, which has been found to reduce the risk of cancers in some parts of the body by more than a half, according to the new research. The study, which was published in Cancer Prevention Research, was led by experts at the Universities of Newcastle and Leeds. It found that resistant starch, if taken regularly for two years, had a very good effect on some cancers, which can be difficult to find.
John Mathers, a professor at Newcastle University explained, “Resistant starch really helps in fact, which has several health benefits and fewer calories than regular starch.”
In addition to green bananas, resistant starch is also found in foods such as peas, beans and other starchy foods. In terms of bananas, experts think that eating one banana every day has the same effect as a certain amount of resistant starch. The secret is to eat the bananas before they become too ripe (成熟的) or soft.
【1】What advantage does eating bananas regularly have?
A．Avoid developing diseases.
B．Suffer from no stress.
C．Have a lower risk of cancer.
D．Expect a longer life.
【2】Why can green bananas often help reduce the risk of cancer?
A．They contain resistant starch.
B．They help discover cancer.
C．They improve a person’s diet.
D．They are quite healthy fruit.
【3】What is John Mathers’ attitude to resistant starch?
A．Doubtful.
B．Supportive.
C．Worried.
D．Unclear.
【4】What do the experts suggest people do?
A．Find hidden cancers.
B．Get enough sleep.
C．Take regular exercise.
D．Eat green bananas daily.
23、My parents had been married less than two years when my dad was diagnosed with ALS. Making a decision regarding whether or not to start a family was difficult at the time, but due to their faith and positive outlook, they chose to do so. Had they not shared the same optimism, my older brother John would not be here, and I would not be writing this today. To say that I am thankful for their decision is an understatement. My dad has had a long battle with ALS and is still fighting after 26 years.
As a child, my parents did everything in their power to keep things as normal as possible for my brother and me. Unfortunately, I have very few memories of my dad when he was still able to walk because of how young I was when he lost that ability. However, I can confidently say that as a girl, my childhood felt completely normal. Our friends came over a lot. John and I were very involved in sports, and my parents were at every game.
ALS isn’t just a deadly disease — it is incurable. Most patients do not live even close to 26 years like my father has been able to. ALS is also a lonely disease, for both the patients and caregivers, as they go through hardships those around them will rarely understand. My mom is his primary caregiver, and my brother and I help out as much as we can. She is a remarkable mother and wife, the backbone of our family, and none of us would be here without her.
Dad is the strongest person I know. He has overcome his physical limitations due to how strong he is mentally. Every day is a battle, and every day he fights hard. He truly believes every day is a gift. Some days are worse than others, but he would rarely ley you know. It takes a certain kind of faith, will, ambition, and strength to handle such a desperate diagnosis, and he has never faltered (退缩).
【1】How does the author feel about her parents’ choice of starting a family?
A．Grateful.

【4】What can be concluded from the family’s story?
A．Hardships and difficulties are unavoidable in life.
B．One has to learn to shoulder responsibility courageously.
C．The presence of parents is important to children’s development.
D．Inner strength and family support can help overcome physical limitations.
24、In an effort to discourage people from using plastics, scientists have been hard at work inventing alternative packaging products. From water bottles made from seaweed to cutlery(餐具) made from rice and wheat, a number of inventions are set to change the way we eat while we are on the go, or having a relaxing picnic in the park.
The idea of using seaweed to make eco-friendly water bottles has been around for a few years. Recently, Ari Jonsson took his invention—a water bottle made from red seaweed—to show off at a festival. The bottles will only hold their shape as long as they are filled. As soon as these bottles are empty they will begin to break down, though they would be perfectly safe to eat. Ari Jonsson's bottles are a step closer to a widely used alternative to the current plastic ones.
The eatable water container is not the only product to add to our image of the future. Narayana Pessapaty has also created eatable spoons. After the success of his spoons, Mr. Pessapaty is ready to expand and introduce forks and chopsticks to his menu. His aim is to largely reduce the amount of plastic waste, which is a huge problem for waste sites all over the world, It is a product that may take up to 500 years to break down, and recycling companies worldwide are struggling to deal with it.
Aside from the obvious benefits to the environment, this new packaging is also cheap to produce and therefore cheap to buy. Even better is the fact that similar eatable cutlery can be made at home, possibly a science project for children or just fun with friends. Why not experiment and create your own recipes?
【1】Why do scientists invent alternative packaging products?
A. To make people's life more convenient.
B. To show off their inventive talents.
C. To change the way we picnic outside.
D. To reduce the amount of plastic waste.
【2】What makes Art Jonsson's water bottles eco-friendly?
A. They can be made at home.
B. They are cheap to produce and buy.
C. They will hold their shape when they are filled.
D. They will break down themselves when empty.
【3】What do Ari and Narayana's inventions have in common?
A. They are convenient to carry.
B. They are safe to eat.
C. They can be used for a short time.
D. They are heavier than plastics.
【4】What can be inferred from this passage?
A. Home-made eatable cutlery is likely to be popular.
B. Eatable cutlery will completely replace plastics in the near future.
C. No recycling companies can break down plastic waste.
D. It’s unsafe for individuals to invent eatable cutlery at home.
