22、Men hunted.Women gathered. But the discovery of a woman buried 9,000 years ago in the Andes Mountains with weapons and hunting tools challenges this widely accepted view. The woman, thought to be between 17 and 19 years old when she died, was buried with items that suggested she hunted big-game animals by spear (矛) throwing.
The objects accompanying people in death tend to be those that accompanied them in life. Although some scholars have suggested a role for women in ancient hunting, others have dismissed this idea even when hunting tools were uncovered in female burials.
To examine whether this woman found at this site was an exception, the researchers examined 429 skeletons at 107 burial sites from around 8,000 to 14,000 years ago. Of those, 27 individuals were buried with hunting tools—11 were female and 15 were male. The sample was sufficient to “justify the conclusion that female participation in early big-game hunting was likely nontrivial,” said lead study author Haas.
The findings add to doubts about “man-the-hunter” assumption about early humans since the mid-20th century. That theory assumes that it was men who went out and hunted, bringing home meat to feed women and children, who were responsible for gathering berries, plants and nuts to enrich the dict.
But recent research suggests hunting was very much a community-based activity, needing the participation of all able-bodied individuals to drive large animals, the study said. Meanwhile, the spears used at that time had low accuracy, encouraging participation, and using it was a skill learned from childhood. Women may also have been freed from child care demands by “allo-parenting”—raising children was a job shared by many.
“Our findings have made me rethink the most basic organizational structure of ancient hunter-gatherer groups, and human groups more generally,” Haas said.
【1】The discovery of the buried woman shows ________.
A．she was killed by a big-game animal
B．she might use hunting tools when alive
C．women were good at throwing spears
D．women were buried alone after death
【2】The underlined word “nontrivial” in Paragraph 3 probably means “________”.
A．limited
B．direct
C．significant
D．passive
【3】Which of the following lead to women’s involvement in hunting?
①allo-parenting ②big-game hunting ③tasks of gathering ④less accurate tools
A．①②③
B．②③④
C．①③④
D．①②④
【4】Haas probably believes that ________.
A．most of our ancestors were buried with hunting tools
B．we should reconsider previous views on human groups
C．division of labor in hunter-gatherer society remains unchanged
D．the tomb found in the Andes justifies “man-the-hunter” assumption
23、When you’re behind the wheel, distractions (分心) cost lives. Nevertheless, drivers take selfies, and respond to text messages. 【1】
Smartphones are often at the root of these tragedies. As Big Tech sets its sights on modern vehicles, it’s appropriate to ask if it’s time to limit attention-stealing technology that distracts the driver.
Big Tech wants to take on the automotive industry. And it is good at grabbing both attention and information from users. At first, the goal of these technology companies was to give away services at no cost, simply to attract a customer base. 【2】 Their increasing thirst for valuable user information has led them to the automotive industry, where a whole new world of data awaits. Location data, frequent destinations, passenger preferences — such data is found in family cars. 【3】
Mobile tech is walled off from vehicle operating systems by software that keeps infotainment (information and entertainment) features away from the mission-critical driving electronics. If auto makers give up their core operating system to tech powerhouses, they will essentially become hardware suppliers to Silicon Valley.
【4】 Their responsibility is to keep attention on the road, providing vehicle information and a small amount of entertainment options while getting passengers from place to place as safely as possible. Smartphone makers and digital-media providers don’t have this priority. They want eyes on their products, not on the road.
With electric vehicles transforming the auto industry, and artificial intelligence more common than ever, we’re at a dangerous moment. 【5】 Because their hardware is wrapped around families, they have a duty to keep them safe. The only way they can do that is to maintain control of the driver’s seat.
The quality, safety and security will make or break trust in auto makers. Without it, cars will be simply one more intrusive and risky mobile device.
A．Car companies have priorities opposed to those of Big Tech.
B．Now they exist to sell information about their users to advertisers.
C．They enjoy the convenience and fun brought by modern technology.
D．Car makers are, and should be, the most trusted technology companies in the world.
E．Currently video-streaming services are starting to be built into car operating systems.
F．And operating systems and autonomous-driving software are all gateways for this information.
G．Statistics show that an average of eight people a day die in accidents caused by distracted driving.
24、An eco-friendly lunch bag is great because it is a game-changer. 【1】 It is so convenient that, after buying one, you’ll wonder how you ever survived the workday without a handy supply of food stored under your desk.
Why do I focus on lunch bags? Because it's so beneficial both personally and environmentally. Here is a list of my reasons:
【2】 Depending on where you live, you could save $1,000-$3,000 per year. I had a personal financial crisis a few years ago and I was floored by how much money I saved just by packing a lunch every day.
Buying lunch in single-use items is wasteful. If you buy a small meal and a drink, you could go through many single-use items and a pile of napkins with each meal. 【3】
Now such lunch bags have been invented by rü. This company, whose name is short for “re-use”, is based in Vancouver, British Columbia. 【4】 And post-consumer plastic waste can be made full use of. Just as impressive as the recycled material is the fact that rü bags are machine washable. Moreover, the bags are lovely to look at and come in a wide range of colors and patterns.
The bags also have an impressive 3-gallon capacity. The roll-down top means they can be easily adjusted for size. 【5】 Combined with some lightweight sandwich bags, everything can be put in a briefcase or clipped onto a purse at the end of the day.
A．When empty, it can be rolled up easily.
B．So you can buy one that adjusts to your bag.
C．Everyone wants to own a beautiful lunch bag.
D．Bringing lunch to work saves so much money.
E．It creates beautiful lunch bags from recycled material.
F．It saves money, boosts nutrition, reduces plastic waste.
G．Packing lunch saves thousands of single-use products every year.

26、阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
Whatever life threw at us each year, come Christmas our family had one constant tradition: our dog Pepper opened our presents for us. Watching our sweet dog unwrap gifts always warmed the holiday, which was often a little bittersweet because college, studying abroad, or work commitments often kept my two sisters and me away.
One year, everyone made it home for a Christmas together. I visited from college, Kaci flew in from Arizona, and Kara was back from Ireland. Mom’s jubilance kept her busy baking cookies for us all. Our Christmas season should have been perfect.
It couldn’t feel perfect, though, because Pepper’s health was deteriorating. Her life had already been longer than we expected —she was fourteen —and yet her mind was still sharp. Her enthusiasm for life made us feel better. But her body could not keep up with her spirit. She’d already shown the usual signs of deafness and stiffness. That year, her hips and back legs started giving out on her. We knew we would soon have to make a difficult decision.
It was likely Pepper’s last Christmas, so we decided to make sure she enjoyed it. On Christmas Eve, we gathered around the tree to open an early present. We each took a turn and then called Pepper to open one more. But her tangled legs could not navigate the boxes and shredded wrapping paper on the floor. She stumbled over the obstacles, and soon she disappeared into the next room. She crumpled back to the floor, as out of the way as she could get.
We were heartbroken. Could Pepper even participate in her last Christmas? Pepper stayed on the periphery of all our holiday activities. Throughout the day, we gave gifts but did not feel very giving. We shared stories over cinnamon rolls that tasted bland. We played games by the tree whose twinkles had dimmed.
That evening, Kaci said what we’d all been thinking: “I wish Pepper could have helped open presents this year.” We all put down our mugs of spiced tea. “Maybe she still could,” Kara said. “But there’s none left,” Mom reminded her. Kara jumped up and left the room. We heard her opening drawers and cabinets in the kitchen.
注意：(1)字数150左右，
(2)请按如下格式在答题纸上作答。
Kara returned with a box of dog biscuits, scissors, a pile of color paper, and a roll of tape.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Soon, Pepper selected her first Christmas gift.
