This saying has provided scientists with clues about the diet of hominids-our early relatives of 3 million years ago.Studying carbon atoms locked up in tooth enamel（珐琅质）, two researchers argue against the widely held belief that hominids ate little more than fruits and leaves. Sponheimer and Julia Lee-Thorp of the University of Cape Tomn, South Africa, report their findings in Friday's Science.There aren't many clues for us to know the life of early hominids. The shape of hominids' teeth offered the first clues. Large and flat-edged with thick enamel, they looked perfect for eating nuts and fruits, different from the sharp teeth one would want to tear into meat with. The first stone tools, which would help in eating meat, didn't appear until about half a million years later.Scientists have also found marks on hominids' teeth with patterns very similar to those on the teeth of modern-day fruit eaters. Sponheimer and Lee-Thorp tried a new method, looking at the chemical composition of the tooth enamel. They studied the enamel for the carbon-13. Animals that eat grasses have higher carbon-13 levels than those eating fruits and other plants.What they found was that the teeth of the hominids had an in-between amount of carbon-13, which meant not only they were eating fruits, they were eating a lot of grasses, or animals eating grasses. The lower carbon-13 levels could also come from eating certain types of insects.But there are people who understand differently. Prof. Ungar of the University of Arkansas agrees the study offers new suggestions of hominid diet, but disagrees about the suggestion that meat could explain the lower carbon-13 levels.One suggestion might be true though - take good care of your teeth. In 3 million years, ascientist might be using them to figure out what you ate for dinner.31. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. Protect Your TeethB. What the Hominid AteC. Where the Hominid livedD. The Formation of Tooth Eeamel 32．Before the two scientists' findings, most people thought that hominids ______A. lived half a million years agoB. ate mainly fruits and leavesC. used tools to dig grassD. had sharp teeth33. The two scientists' findings were mainly based on the study about__________A. the shape of hominids' teethB. the teeth marks of early fruit eatersC. the grasses of 3 million years agoD. the make-up of the tooth enamel34. What is it that Prof. Ungar finds doubtful?A. Hominids possibly ate grass-eating animals.B. Hominids probably had different dietsC. Hominids were basically fruit-and grass-eaters.D. Hominids had lower level of carbon-13 in their teeth.BNo one can fail to stand in awed (令人敬畏的) admiration of the great discoveries of history—Newton’s laws of motion; Kepler’s principles of planetary movement, Einstein’s general theory of relativity. Equally awe-inspiring are artistic creations in painting, theatre, music and literature, which have also been brought about by discovery through personal efforts. What do these extraordinary achievements of well-known scientists and artists have to do with problem solving?A great scientific discovery or a great work of art is surely the result of problem-solving activity. The solution to a problem, w e are told, often comes to thinkers in a “flash of insight (顿悟)，although they may have been turning the problem over in their minds for some time. As a particular form of problem solving, these creative acts are based on the broad knowledge gained in the past, whether this be of the “public” sort known to science, or of the “private” sort known to the artist.Many creative thinkers state that they have completely devoted themselves to the subject matter of the problem, often over fairly long periods of time. Indeed, it would be strange if they had not done this. Nothing in such statements supports the idea that there is anything very different about the problem solving that leads to discoveries of the great contributions to the society. The act of discovery, even in the relatively predictable sense that it occurs in everyday learning, involves a “sudden insight” which changes the problem situation into a solution situation. As we have seen, everyday discovery also requires that the learner have the knowledge of the rules gained in the past, which is involved in the solution.35. Newton, Kepler and Einstein are mentioned in the first paragraph to______.A. bring about the subject of the discussionB. explain that scientists are more creativeC. show the difference between science and artsD. prove that arts require more personal efforts36. While knowledge from the past plays an important role in their achievements, thinkers sometimes also depend on their______.A. artistic tastesB. sudden insightC. admiration of discoveriesD. scientific experiments37. What does the u nderlined word “this” refer to?A. Great contributions to the societyB. Long-time study of the subject matter.C. Various statements about problem solving.D. Complete devotion to artistic creation.38. We may conclude from the passage that ______.A. it is more likely to make scientific and artistic discoveries in everyday learning.B. a sudden insight and knowledge from the past are required in making discoveriesC. scientific discoveries or artistic creations are usually unpredictable in natureD. knowledge of the rules in the past is often developed in the changes of situation四、任务型阅读Have you heard or read stories about people who are sick and have been healed by listening to music? Is it a miracle or a successful form of medicine? Can listening to music relieve pain?Around the world, music therapy(疗法) is being used to treat different medical conditions and illnesses. Some of the ways people use music therapy are to reduce pain, such as in childbirth or during cancer treatments, or to stimulate brain activity after an injury or memory loss. Music therapy has also been successful in aiding children to overcome disabilities. Children can move their bodies with the music and stamp along to the beat.Why is music a useful therapy? Music is soothing and relaxing but it also stimulates our brains. Emotionally and physically, we respond to the sounds of music. But the complexity of music(the different tempos，rhythms，melodies and harmonies) provokes(激发)the biggest response. Thus, classical music is most typically used for therapies due to complex sounds and patterns. Although rap or hip hop might be fun to listen to, it’s unlikely that such styles of music would produce the same kind of therapeutic effect. Playing a musical instrument rather than simply listening to music can also be therapeutic for some people, helping relieve stress and anxiety.Have scientists been able to prove that music can heal disease? Music has been shown to reduce pain in cancer patients by increasing the release endorphins(内啡肽). Endorphins are the body’s natural painkillers and when we listen to music, our brains respond by releasing these natural painkillers. It has also been known to contribute to the brain development of the babies who have just been born and even babies still in the mother’s womb. Certain types of music have also been found to lower blood pressure and slow a person’s heart rate. Many people are hopeful that music could replace the need for some medications(药物)that are normally used to treat certain illnesses. At present, music therapy is used in a variety of settings such as hospitals, rehabilitation centers, nursing homes, day cares, and schools.Although music therapy is not yet considered a mainstream treatment, it is recognized more and more as a useful addition to traditional treatment.
