21、 Until recently, several lines of evidence—from fossils, genetics, and archaeology—suggested that humans first moved from Africa into Eurasia (the land of Europe and Asia) about 60,000 years ago, quickly replacing other early human species, such as Neanderthals and Denisovans, that they may have met along the way.
However, a series of recent discoveries, including 100,000-year-old human teeth found in a cave in China, have clouded this straightforward statement. And the latest find, a prehistoric jawbone at the Misliya Cave in Israel dating back to nearly 200,000 years ago, which is almost twice as old as any Homo sapiens(智人) remains discovered outside Africa, where our species was thought to have originated from, has added a new and unexpected twist.
The find suggests that there were multiple waves of migration across Europe and Asia and could also mean that modern humans in the Middle East were interacting, and possibly mating, with other human species for tens of thousands of years. “Misliya breaks the mould (模式) of existing assumptions of the timing of the first known Homo sapiens in these regions,” said Chris Stringer, head of human origins at the Natural History Museum in London. “It’s important in removing a long-lasting constraint(限制) on our thinking.”
Prof. Hershkovitz, who led the work at Tel Aviv University said, “What Misliya tells us is that modern humans left Africa not 100,000 years ago, but 200,000 years ago. This is a revolution in the way we understand the evolution of our own species.” He also added that the record now indicates that humans probably travelled beyond the African continent whenever the climate allowed it. “I don’t believe there was one big departure from Africa,” he said. “I think that throughout hundreds of thousands of years humans were coming in and out of Africa all the time.”
The discovery means that modern humans were potentially meeting and interacting during a longer period with other ancient human groups, providing more opportunity for cultural and biological exchanges. It also raises interesting questions about the fate of the earliest modern human pioneers. Genetic data from modern-day populations around the world strongly suggest that everyone outside Africa can trace their ancestors back to a group that left around 60,000 years ago. So the inhabitants of the Misliya Cave are probably not the ancestors of anyone alive today, and scientists can only guess why their branch of the family tree came to an end.
【1】What does the Misliya discovery suggest?
A.Our ancestors were powerful and kind of agreesive.
B.Our ancestors left Africa much earlier than thought.
C.The origins of modern humans are from Europe.
D.Homo sapiens, Neanderthals and Denisovans once lived together.
【2】What does the underlined word “they” refer to in Para. One?
A.Early human species living in Europe
B.Neanderthals and Denisovans.
C.People first moving from Africa into Eurasia.
D.Ancient people living in Africa all the time.
【3】What can be learned from Prof. Hershkovitz’s words in Para. 4?
A.Climate was a big factor in human migration from Africa.
B.There was a large-scale human migration from Africa.
C.Human migration was occasional in Africa 200,000 years ago.
D.The Misliya find is against our understanding of human evolution.
【4】What can we infer about those living in Misliya 200,000 years ago according to the last paragraph?
A.They were ancestors of people living in China.
B.They left evidence for their mysterious disappearance in history.
C.They probably contributed little to present-day people genetically.
D.They could be traced by their remains left on their travelling route.
22、In conversations with strangers, people commonly tend to think they should speak less than half the conversation time to be likable. But we’ve discovered this idea is wrong. Our data shows that people tend to think they should speak about 45% of the time to be likable in a one-on-one conversation with someone new. However, it appears speaking up a bit more is actually a better strategy.
In our research, we randomly assigned people to speak for 30%, 40%, 50%, 60% of the time in a conversation with someone new. We found that the more they spoke, the more they were liked by their new partners. This was only one study with 116 participants, but the outcome is supported by other researchers’ findings. For example, a previous study randomly assigned one in a pair to take on the role of “speaker” and the other to take on the role of “listener. ” After engaging in 12-minute interactions, listeners liked speakers more than speakers liked listeners because listeners felt more similar to speakers than speakers did to listeners. This outcome suggests the reason people prefer those who speak up: Learning more about a new partner can make you feel like you have more in common with him or her.
Further, we assigned people to speak for up to 70% and even 90% of the time. The result shows it is not an ideal strategy. Our research does not suggest people hold down a conversational partner but rather that they feel comfortable speaking up more than they usually might.
Research like ours can help people gain a ‘more reasonable understanding of social interactions with new people and become more confident about how to make a good first impression. It has the obvious benefit of allowing us to carefully control speaking time. However, it does not reflect more natural conversations. Future research should figure out whether our findings generalize to more natural interactions.
【1】What is the common belief concerning conversations with strangers?
A．Speaking a little less is preferred.
B．Speaking half the time is the best.
C．Listeners are more likable than speakers.
D．Listeners fail to control the conversations.
【2】How was the research carried out?
A．By analyzing speaking habits.
B．By making comparisons.
C．By listing examples.
D．By collecting data.
【3】What is the disadvantage of the research?
A．The conversation time is limited.
B．Further study is hard to continue.
C．The findings are less widely appliable.
D．Interactions with strangers are missing.
【4】In which situation can the research finding be applied?
A．Attending a family gathering.
B．Partying with your friends.
C．Meeting a new teacher.
D．Making a public speech.
23、 In recent years, publishers, directors and TV producers have taken a keen interest in popular online novels, thanks to their originality and solid fan base.
Genre(题材) is an important factor. According to a survey by Chinese online literature platform Cloudary, of 100 online novels whose copyrights were sold by Cloudary for adaption in 2012, modern city novels, historical romances and war stories were the most popular.
Online author Liu Chenfeng’s best-known novel A Clear Midsummer Night(《盛夏晚晴天》) is a love story. It attracted more than 30 million web hits and won the top prize in the annual competition for Chinese romance novels in 2012. A TV adaption of the book, starring Yang Mi and Liu Kaiwei, was a huge hit when broadcast in 2013. The success of the TV adaption has brought Liu greater popularity and more confidence in her writing.“It’s as if a feast prepared by me has been appreciated by numerous dinners, which is a great encouragement,” Liu says.
Literature websites have played an important role in this trend. Major websites, which are owned by Cloudary, have established special branches to help film and TV producers who are looking for good stories and to deal with copyright licensing. Liu, who has entrusted(委托) the literature website Hongxiu.com to deal with her copy right licensing to TV producers, thinks it makes things easier for writers and allows them to focus more on their work.
However, many other writers have sought to work closely with film and TV producers and play an active role in the adaption process of their own works. The author’s unique understanding about the original works is valued by producers and directors. Popular online writer Bao Jingjing worked with director Teng Huatao as the screenwriter for one of her online novels. The movie Love Is Not Blind（《失恋33天》）adapted from her story, became an instant hit in 2012. Bao graduated from Beijing Film Academy with a degree in literature. Her background gave her extra weight in winning the director’s trust. The experience has led Bao on a new career path. She won the award for best adapted screenplay at the 49th Golden Horse Awards in Taiwan in 2012.
【1】The following genres adapted in 2012 are among the most popular ones EXCEPT___________
A.Modern city novels. B.Historical romances.
C.War stories. D.Kung fu novels.
【2】What can we learn from Paragraph 3 and 4?
A.Liu was not satisfied with the TV adaption.
B.The success of the TV adaption made Liu more confident in her writing.
C.The success of the TV adaption made Liu feel at a loss.
D.Liu was not popular before the success of the TV adaption
【3】Why did Liu ask Hongxiu.Com to deal with her copyright licensing to TV producers?
A.Because it can help her be more focused on her writing.
B.Because it can help her save a lot of money.
C.Because it can help her earn a lot of fans.
D.Because it can make her more popular.
【4】How did Bao adapt on novels?
A.By working with a director.
B.By working with her teacher.
C.With the help of her friend
D.By herself
24、The hit movie Notting Hill begins with a famous scene. Hugh Grant bumps into Julia Roberts and pours orange juice all over her. After the bump, Grant repeatedly says: “ I am so sorry. I am so sorry.”
【1】 If Roberts’ character were from Britain then she would probably apologize repeatedly as well—even if the bump were not her fault. But this doesn’t happen in the film, as Roberts is from the US.
A report in The Telegraph last week said that three-quarters of British people apologize when they bump into someone in the street — regardless of whether they are responsible or not. In fact, we Britons use “sorry” in many situations. For example, if we mishear someone, we say “Sorry?” The person we are talking to will also apologize by replying: “No, I am sorry!” 【2】
Life is never as simple as “duibuqi” and “meiguanxi”.
【3】 Traditionally, “sorry” was used to express deep regret, but a survey in 2017 showed that we use it to mean anything from “what” to “whatever”.
【4】 Mark Tyrell, a psychology writer in the UK, thinks about our apologetic tendencies are rooted in the British class system. We say sorry because historically the new middle classes in Britain had to apologize for not being working class, but also for not really being upper class.
【5】 For example, if you bump into someone they might get angry. To avoid this we instantly say “Sorry!”. True manners are about being considerate and the modern day hobby with apologizing shows that we are perhaps not as thoughtful as we once were. The word has lost some of its meaning. Do you see my point? Sorry, it might just be a British thing.
A．Why are Britons so sorry?
B．British people are sincere while saying sorry.
C．How we use “sorry” has changed.
D．Saying sorry when necessary is a good manner.
E．This can go on for up to five minutes as we compete over who is the most sorry.
F．Another theory is that we apologize to avoid confrontation (冲突).
G．His actions in this scene are very British.
