21、 Recently according to a new research, humans have had a link to starches (含淀粉的食物) for up to 120,000 years — that’s more than 100,000 years longer than we’ve been able to plant them in the soil during the time of the ice Age’s drawing to an end. The research is part of an ongoing study into the history of Middle Stone Age communities.
An international team of scientists identified evidence of prehistoric starch consumption in the Klasies River Cave, in present-day South Africa. Analyzing small, ashy, undisturbed hearths(壁炉) inside the cave, the researchers found “pieces of burned starches” ranging from around 120,000 to 65,000 years old. It made them the oldest known examples of starches eaten by humans.
The findings do not come as a complete surprise — but rather as welcome confirmation of older theories that lacked the related evidence. The lead author Cynthia Larbey said that there had previously only been genetic biological evidence to suggest that humans had been eating starch for this long. This new evidence, however, takes us directly to the dinner table, and supports the previous assumption that humans’ digestion genes gradually evolved in order to fit into an increased digestion of starch.
Co-author Sarah Wurz said, “The starch remains show that these early humans living in the Klasies River Cave could battle against their tough environment and find suitable foods and perhaps medicines. And as much as we all still desire the tubers (块茎), these cave communities were gilling starches such as potatoes on their foot-long hearths. They knew how to balance their diets as well as they could, with fats from local fish and other animals.”
As early as the 1990s, some researchers started to study the hearths in the Klasies River Cave. Scientist Hilary Deacon first suggested that these hearths contained burned plants. At the time, the proper methods of examining the remains were not yet available. We now know human beings have always been searching for their desired things.
【1】When did humans begin to farm starches?
A.After the Ice Age. B.After the Middle Stone Age.
C.About 20,000 years ago. D.About 100,000 years ago.
【2】What was the previous assumption of starches?
A.Starch diet promoted food culture. B.Starch diet shaped humans’ evolution.
C.Starches had a variety of functions. D.Starches offered humans rich nutrition.
【3】What can we learn about the early humans described by Sarah Wurz?
A.They were smart and tough. B.They preferred plants to meat.
C.They were generally very healthy. D.They got along with each other.
【4】What’s the best title for the text?
A.Great Civilization of South Africa B.The Evolution of Foods in History
C.Starches--the Important Food of Today D.Big Findings--the Starches in Ancient Times
22、Coral reefs (珊瑚礁) are full of varieties of sea life, including fish. Some fish are more attractive to humans than others, and their semblance could be influencing how we decide which species to protect.
To understand the relationship between fish beauty standards and conservation needs, researchers showed 481 photographs of reef fishes to 13, 000 members of the public. With that data, they then trained a computer model to make following predictions for an additional 4, 400photographs of 2, 417 of the most common reef fish species. They next compared the aesthetic (美感) rating of each species with other characteristics, including evolutionary history, distinctiveness from other fish, “ecological originality”(which includes traits such as diet, habitat, body size and behaviors), conservation status and importance to fisheries.
After processing the numbers, researchers found that the fish humans rated as the most beautiful — those with bright, colorful, round bodies — were also less ecologically and evolutionarily distinct. Prettier fish were also more likely to be listed as species of “least concern” on the International Union for Conservation of Nature(IUCN)Red List. On the contrary, the fish that humans found to be the least attractive were the most ecologically and evolutionarily distinct, and they were more likely to be listed as “threatened” on the IUCN Red List. Unattractive species also tended to be more important to commercial fisheries, which puts them at higher risk for overfishing.
At a time when conservation funding and energy is limited, uglier fish are likely being overshadowed by more beautiful fish, which could have serious consequences for coral reef ecosystems. “The less attractive species have the highest ecological distinctiveness, and thus provide the highest diversity of ecological functions, ”they write in the paper. “We thus conclude that the raised extinction risk of the less attractive fish species might also have great effects on reef ecosystem functioning. To minimize the influence of aesthetic biases (偏见), scientists, conservation groups and policymakers may need to change how they communicate about wildlife. Raising awareness of the important roles that uglier fish play in reef ecosystems could help them obtain more support.”
【1】The underlined word “semblance” in the first paragraph most probably means “ ”.
A．living style
B．growth speed
C．size
D．appearance
【2】How did the researchers carry out their study?
A．By analyzing aesthetic ratings of fish.
B．By observing fish among coral reefs.
C．By referring to previous similar studies.
D．By conducting an online questionnaire.
【3】What do the researchers suggest we do?
A．Make laws to punish those who overfish.
B．Build natural reserves worldwide for uglier fish.
C．Go all out to have people’s aesthetic levels improved.
D．Educate people on the ecological importance of uglier fish.
【4】What’s the best title for the text?
A．Ugly Fish Also Need Love
B．Appearance Matters Most to Fish
C．Ugly Fish Live Shorter Lives
D．Coral Reefs Rely Heavily on Fish

24、Some of my earliest memories involve sitting with my dad in his study every night when he came home. Dad has a jade green comb. Every night, he would smile, hand me the comb and say: “Help Daddy clean it, OK?” At age five this task brought me such joy. I would excitedly turn the tap on, and then brush the comb with a used toothbrush as hard as I could. Satisfied with my job, I would proudly return it to Dad. He would smile at me, and place the comb on top of his wallet.
About two years later, Dad left his job and started his own business. That was when things started to change. Dad’s business wasn’t doing so well, and our stable life started getting shaky. He didn’t come home as much as he used to. And when he did, it was always late and I’d already be in bed. I started to get mad. Why didn’t he listen to Mum and just stick to his old job? Over the years, I stopped spending my nights with him.
Now 28, I’ve already got a job. Dad’s business has also started to be on track. Things are better. Yet the uncomfortable silence between us persisted.
Two days before my birthday last year, Dad came home early. As I helped him carry his bags into his study, he said. “Hey, would you like to help me clean my comb? It’s been a while: since I last cleaned it.” I looked at him a while, then took the comb and headed to the sink.
As I cleaned the comb, it hit me then: why, as a child, helping my dad clean his comb was such a joy. That routine meant my dad was home early to spend the evening with Mum and I. It meant he would watch TV with us or playa few videogames with me. It meant a happy and loving family.
I pass the clean comb back to Dad. He looks at it and smiles. But this time, I notice something different. My dad has aged. He has wrinkles next to his eyes when he smiles, yet his smile is still heartwarming. The smile of a father who just wants a good life for his family.
Dad carefully places his comb on top of his wallet. The same old jade green comb. I guess some things never change. And for that, I’m glad.
【1】As a child, how did the author feel about cleaning the comb?

A．Her routine with her father changed.
B．Her father grew indifferent to mum and her.

D．Her mother was disappointed with his decisions.
【3】What’s the turning point of the author’s attitude?
A．The boom of her father’s new business.
B．The return of the former sweet happy nights
