This "Flores Human" was three foot tall and her brain was smaller than that of the average chimp (黑猩猩), yet she and her relatives apparently lived fully human lives. They seem to have made tools, worked together to find food and cook it, and perhaps even buried their dead with ceremony.It was a major surprise to find tools associated with the new human family member. The tools are like those formerly seen only with European fossils(化石) from our own species; Homosapiens (智人) , and the oldest of them were made 94,000 years ago. Homo sapiens is thought to have arrived in the island about 40,000 years ago, much too late to be responsible for the tools. Ifstructure(结构) of its brain must have been more like our own than a chimp's, despite being just a third the size of ours.This "new human" was suspected to be a dwarfed branch of Homo erectus(直立人). When creatures are separated in regions with rare resources but few enemies, being big is a disadvantage, and evolution tends to shrink them, a process known as island dwarfing. Could natural selection make a human smaller while keeping—even improving—mental ability? Quite possibly, believes Christopher Wills of the University of California.Has the "Flores Human" even shown the ability of language? "I find it difficult to imagine that people could make tools, use fire, and kill large animals without fairly advanced communication." Wills says. Did "Flores Human" possess the basic components of human culture—such as the burying of the dead with ceremony? Emiliano Brunet of the Italian Institute points out that Indonesia's hot, wet environment is bad for fossilization. It is reasonable to assume, he says, that the 18,000-year-old bones of the most complete Flores woman were well-preserved because she was buried with special care.46. According to the passage, the "Flores Human" ____________________ .A.lived a partly human lifeB.was a branch of Homo sapiensed tools before Homo sapiens arrivedD.had a brain as large as a common chimp's47. The underlined part "this tiny human" in Paragraph 2 refers to ________________________ .A. a chimpB. Flores HumanC. Homo sapiensD. Homo erectus48.

In most societies, schooling improves your ability to get a good job, to support yourself and your family, and to contribute to your country's economy. But many children around the world don't have the opportunity to attend school—currently, more than 425 million children aged 6-17. In many nations, more boys than girls receive a formal education. In these countries, various social and economic problems prevent girls from going to and staying in school. One of the main reasons for this is poverty (贫穷) —school can be expensive, and in many countries, school is not free. Even where it is free, the fees for books, uniforms and transportation can be too costly for many families. When resources are limited, parents often educate their sons first. Even though more girls are attending school than ever before, nearly a quarter of all girls aged 6-11 are currently not enrolled in primary schools. Compared withprimary school, a much smaller number of children attend secondary school — but again, more of them are boys. Education has special benefits for girls, both when they are young and in their adult lives. Girls with little or no education are more likely to become teenage mothers and to live in poverty; girls with more schooling marry and have children later, and lead healthier, more prosperous lives. To achieve these benefits, girls need to complete at least 6 to 7 years of schooling. Today, of our 6 billion population, nearly 1 billion adults can not read — and two thirds of them are women.50. In families with limited income, parents tend.A.to give education to their sons while ignore their daughtersB.to give education to their daughters while ignore their sonsC.to keep all their children from schoolD.send all their children to school51. Compared with primary school, the number of boys attending secondary school is .A. as big as that of girlsB. bigger than that of girlsC. smaller than that of girls ________D. not mentioned52. According the passage, the main reason that many children don't have the opportunity to attend school is _______________________________ .A. politicalB. socialC. economicD.culturalCFor centuries, the only form of written correspondence（通信) was the letter. Letters were, and are, sent by some form of postal service, the history of which goes back a long way. Indeed, the Egyptians began sending letters from about 2000 BC, as did the Chinese a thousand years later.Of course, modern postal services now are much more developed and faster, as they do on cars and planes for delivery. Yet they are still too slow for some people to send urgent documents （紧急文件). and letters.The invention of the fax(传真) machine increased the speed of delivering documents even more. When you send a fax you are sending a copy of a piece of correspondence to someone by telephone service. It was not until the early 1980s that such a service was developed enough for businesses to be able to fax documents to each other.The fax service is still very much in use when copies of documents require to be sent, but, as a way of fast correspondence, it has been largely replaced by e-mail. E-mail is used to describe messages sent from one computer user to another.There are advantages and disadvantages with e-mails. If you send someone an e-mail, then he will receive it extremely quickly. Normal postal services are rather slow as far as speed of delivery is concerned.However, if you write something by e-mail, which you might later regret, and send it immediately, there is no chance for second thoughts. t least, if you have to address and seal(封) the envelope and take it to the post box, there is plenty of time to change your mind. The message is« think before you e-mail \53. We can learn from the text that_________________ .A.the postal service has over the years become fasterB.e-mail is less popular than the fax serviceC.the postal service has over the years become slowerD.the fax service has a history as long as the postal service does54. It can be inferred from the text that _________________ .A.the fax machine was invented after the 1980sB.letters have been used in China for about 1,000 yearsC.the fax service had been fully developed by the 1980sD.letters have been used in Egypt for about 2,000 years55. In the last sentence of the last paragraph, the writer mentions "think before youe-mail" to show that ____________ .A.you'd better not send your e-mail in a hurryB.you may regret if you don't seal your envelopeC.you may regret before you send something by e-mailD.you need plenty of time to send an e-mail56. The text mainly deals with_______________ .A.the invention of fax machinesB.the advantage of fax machinesC.the advantage of e-mailsD.the progress in correspondenceKeys: 46. CBDB50. ABC53.

There is one extra heading which you do not need.57.I had spent six years working nights while I attended college during the day. I always wanted to be a teacher, and I worked hard to earn my degree. When I finally graduated, I was very optimistic. With the help of the friends who teach at the school, I landed an interview with the principal. I noticed a tiny hole in my stockings that morning. I thought about changing, but I knew I'd be late if I did. By the time I got to the interview, the hole stretched from my ankle to my knee. I walked in and immediately apologized for not looking my best. I spent the rest of the time trying to sit in a way that he couldn't see the hole.I didn't get the job. In fact, one of my friends told me the principal's only comment was: "Ifa person doesn't present her best image at an interview, what kind of teacher is she going to be?"I worked for ten years as an administrative in a large accounting firm. When the office manager retired last year, I applied for the position. I wasn't even granted an interview. I thought it was an oversight, so I asked the director of personnel what happened. He told me I didn't fit the image of an office manager. He suggested I renew my wardrobe—get rid of my colorful skirts and dangling earrings—before I applied again for another position. I was shocked. I do a great job, and the way I dress shouldn't have any bearing. My clothes reflect my personal style.When I was a telemarketing specialist in Athens, I applied for a promotion. My interview went so well I was offered the job on the spot. I was ecstatic. I remembered that I reacted to the offer with too much enthusiasm. Once the boss sensed how excited I was he knew I wasn't going to turn him down. Consequently, he offered me a lower salary than I'd hoped for. I was convinced I could have gotten more had I contained myself.Open and close your conversation on a positive note. For example, if you've studied the company's annual report and you should have! Consider remarking on any substantial progressthe firm has made within the past year, or cite an area of company involvement that interests you. When you leave, summarize why you're the best candidate for the job and thank the person for his interest.Master the art of small talk. Most people who appear comfortable with strangers in social and business situations will tell you that they've worked hard to look that way. Read a weekly news magazine and at least one daily newspaper—especially the sports section—so you can hold your own in a conversation.Ask questions. Too often when people meet, they feel awkward about what to say after the introductions. Almost everyone likes to be asked questions, so don't be afraid to be the initiator.There is the matter of how you speak. Any voice coach will tell you can learn to sound more relaxed, more assertive and more confident. One good technique is to record your voice on a tape. As you play it back, be alert for voice tones that sound apologetic, tentative, or imploring.In this book—You Are The Massage. Secrets of the Master Communicators, media consultant Roger Ailes suggests a voice-improvement exercise he calls "tape and ape".Get a cassette tape of a famous actor or actress reading a classic. Record yourself reading the same selection and compare. "Your goal isn't to become a performer," says Ailes, "But when you hear a good speech and attempt to emulate it, you will improve your voice.

Then answer the questions or complete the sentences according to the information given in the passage you have just read.PITTSBURGH — For most people, snakes seem unpleasant or even threatening. But Howie Choset sees in their delicate movements a way to save lives.The 37-year-old Carnegie Mellon University professor has spent years developing snakelike robots. He hopes his robots will eventually slide through fallen buildings in search of victims trapped after natural disasters or other emergencies.Dan Kara is president of Robotics Trends, a Northboro, Mass-based company that publishes an online industry magazine and runs robotics trade shows. He said there are other snake-like robots being developed, mainly at universities, but didn't know of one that could climb pipes.The Carnegie Mellon machines are designed to carry cameras and electronic sensors andcan be controlled with a joystick (操纵杆). They move smoothly with the help of small electric motors, commonly used by hobbyists in model airplanes.Built from lightweight materials,the robots are about the size of a human arm or smaller. They can sense which way is up, but areonly as good as their human operators, Choset added.Sam Stover, a search team manager with the Federal Emergency Management Agencybased in Indiana, said snake-type robots would offer greater mobility than equipment currently available, such as cameras attached to extendable poles."It just allows us to do something we've not been able to do before," Stover said, "We needed them yesterday. "He said sniffer dogs are still the best search tool for rescue workers, but that they can onlybe used effectively when workers have access to damaged building.Stover, among the rescue workers who handled the aftermath (后果) of Hurricane Katrina,said snake robots would have helped rescuers search flooded houses in that disaster.Choset said the robots may not be ready for use for another five to ten years, depending on funding.32.
