21、 Six Neanderthals who lived in what is now France were eaten by their fellow Neanderthals some 100,000 years ago, according to fearful evidence of the cannibalistic (食人的) event discovered by scientists in a cave in the 1990s. Now, researchers may have figured out why the Neanderthals , including two children , became victims of cannibalism (食人):Global warming.
While previous studies have examined Neanderthal remains to find proof of cannibalistic behavior, this is the first study to offer clues as to what may have led Neanderthals to become cannibals. Scientists found that rapid changes in local ecosystems as the planet warmed may have wiped out the animal species that Neanderthals ate, forcing them to look elsewhere to fill their stomachs.
The researchers examined a layer of sediment (沉积物) in a cave known as Baume Moula-Guercy, in southeastern France. In that layer , charcoal (碳)and animal bones were so well-preserved that scientists could reconstruct an environmental picture representing 120,000 to 130,000 years ago. They discovered that the climate in the area was likely even warmer than it is today , and that the change from a cold ,dry climate to a warmer one happened quickly .Maybe within a few generations, “study co-author Emmanuel said. As the animals that once populated the landscape disappeared, some Neanderthals ate what they could find-their neighbors.
Cannibalism is by no means unique to Neanderthals, and has been practiced by humans and their relatives “from the early Palaeolithic to the Bronze Age and beyond,” the study authors reported. The behavior adopted by the starving Neanderthals in the Baume Moula-Guercy should therefore not be viewed as “a mark of bestiality(兽性)or sub-humanity ”, but as an emergency adaptation to a period of severe environmental stress, according to the study. The findings were published in the April issue of the Journal of Archaeological Science.
【1】What does the study mainly focus on?
A.The social behavior of Neanderthals.
B.The climate change in southeastern France.
C.The reason for cannibalism among Neanderthals.
D.The influence of global warming on ancient animals.
【2】What was the climate possibly like in southeastern France 120,000 to 130,000 years ago?
A.It was cold and dry all the time.
B.It was first cold, dry and later warm.
C.It was first warm and later cold, dry.
D.It was warm all the time.
【3】Which of the following might the study authors agree with?
A.Neanderthals’cannibalism showed their bestiality.
B.Climate change drove some Neanderthals to cannibalism.
C.Neanderthals’cannibalism guaranteed their rule over other tribes.
D.Only Neanderthals were found to have cannibalism in human history.
22、 Does your local high school have a student newspaper? Only 1 in 8 of New York’s public high schools has student newspapers – and many of those are published just a few times a year. A few more are online, which can leave out poorer schools.
Rebecca Dwarka, an 18-year-old senior who works for her student paper said, “Facebook is the new way of finding out what happened. Nobody wants to actually sit down and read a whole article about it. This makes a ‘whole article’ sound a little like a long sentence in lonely places.”
I am not nostalgic(怀旧的) about high school student newspapers and never worked for mine. I put out what was then called a personal magazine with a group of friends because we wanted to write about peace, war and rock and roll without school officials warning us not to make jokes about the local officials.
School newspapers are in decline because students now find out what happened on social networking websites. This is a little discouraging because it proves that for millions of Americans, journalism is becoming a do-it-yourself thing. Every citizen can be a reporter.
When something happens, we look for social media messages. Facebook posts and Tweets have become the means by which citizens and reporters can prove, deny (否认), pass on stories and express opinions without the press’ challenging, researching or slowing the message.
But truly good journalism is a craft, not just a blog post. It requires seeing something carefully and it uses an eye for details to help prove a larger view. And even journalism that gives an opinion tries to be fair. If school newspapers begin to disappear, I hope there are other ways for students to learn that.
【1】What can we infer from Rebecca’s words?
A.Students like reading detailed articles.
B.Facebook is the quickest way of spreading news.
C.School newspapers are becoming unpopular.
D.Long sentences are becoming popular in lonely places.
【2】What does the underlined word “decline” in paragraph 4 mean?
A.Fall. B.Popularity
C.Increase D.Failure
【3】What should good journalism do according to the author?
A.Ignore some details.
B.Spread a message quickly.
C.Act as blog posts in modern times.
D.Give an opinion in a fair way.
【4】Which opinion does the writer intend to express in this passage?
A.Social media is becoming more and more important.
B.Everyone can become a reporter at present.
C.Social networking brings about new journalism.
D.High school newspapers shouldn’t be replaced by social media.
23、Need an app for that?Anvitha Vijay,9 years old,can build it.With the help of YouTube videos,the young girl from Melbourne,Australia,Learned to code(编程)at age 7.Soon,she was trying her hand at making apps.
"When I first got my iPad, I was attracted by all the apps on it,"she told TFK."It wasn't long before I wanted to create my own."
She built her first two apps with her younger sister in mind.Smartkins Animals helps children know more than 100 animals and their sounds.Smartkins Rainbow Colors teaches kids colors. Each app has been downloaded thousands of times.
Anvitha's skills won her an award to attend a big tech conference hosted by Apple in San Francisco,California There,she got tips from so many smart people.She went to workshops where she learned about the latest software(软件)for app building.
All that training led to an idea for a third app. This one, called GoalsHi, inspires kids to practice good habits. Users are rewarded for achieving goals, such as eating their vegetables or practicing piano."Kids can set goals with this app and get stars when they achieve them,"she says,"The idea is to encourage kids to achieve one little step a day."
Anvitha's goal is to continue creating technology that helps kids learn while having fun.But even more important to her is that the world sees the power of technology in kids' hands."The more training we get in technology at an early age,"she says,"the better chance we have of becoming people who will one day change the world."

24、High-sugar diets raise risks for heart disease, obesity and diabetes, but we do love our sweets, so health experts have tried to suggest alternatives, and honey has been foremost among them.
Honey is actually sweeter than sugar is , which means, in theory at least, that you could enhance flavor equally with a smaller quantity of honey. But honey actually has a higher calorie count. It may have more minerals, which looks better on a label but, in reality, these are such trace amounts that they don’t offer any real advantages.
Honey’s reputation as a medicine is not wholly unfounded. Some honey does indeed have antibacterial properties. One byproduct of enzymes in honey is hydrogen peroxide, a powerful germ killer. Plus, honey’s texture and consistency are good for keeping wounds clean, and bad for bugs that might want to infect them. Honey is moist and its gooey consistency mean it can easily spread over and stay over wounds while keeping the tissue from becoming dry and fragile. The sticky substance means bacteria can not accumulate and multiply easily. It is particularly well-known for fighting bacteria like staph, salmonella, E. Coliand certain bacteria that can infect the gut and cause ulcers.
However, scientists can only say this for sure about Makuna and Malaysian Tualang honey. We don’t know yet whether local home grown honey has the same potency-or safety. A hot cup of tea with some honey stirred in certainly sounds like it would make you feel better. But it’s difficult to say for sure that it will.
When you have a cold, contact with warm water (from tea) may help to bust up phlegm(痰)that blocks your airways. But some suspect the real secret to the qualities of a cuppa is in the honey. There are studies that suggest that honey does work as well or better than cough suppressant(抑制性的)drugs like Robitussin.
Most of these, however, were considered by the academic world to be widely misinterpreted by the media. One of the findings that seemed to have given the honey trend some additional legs came from a study that said there was “no difference”, statistically speaking, between honey and one particular cough suppressant.
【1】What can we learn from the passage?
A. Honey has more minerals than sugar.
B. Honey can be used to treat wounds.
C. The sweetness in honey can fight bacteria.
D. All kinds of honey can act as medicines.
【2】What is the author's attitude when it comes to the functions of honey?
A. Objective B. Critical
C. Supportive D. Skeptical
【3】What might be talked about next?
A. Honey will be widely used in other fields.
B. Honey will not be recommended in medical treatment any more.
C. Other studies showed honey worked better than some cough medicines.
D. Other studies showed neither honey nor some cough medicines functioned well.
