Thats the conclusion of a recent study from South Africas southern coast.There，in a cave lying above the sea，researchers from Arizona State University have found evidence that humans were behaving in surprisingly plex ways as early as 164,000 years ago. Our species，Homo sapiens，appeared an estimated 200,000 years ago.The cave held three important clues about the behavior of these Stone Age people.First，the researchers found the remains of all kinds of shellfish. The people who lived in the cave probably collected these creatures from rocky shores and tide pools and brought them to the cave to eat.The researchers propose the early Africans moved to the South African coast between 195,000 and 130,000 years ago. Around that time，the climate inland turned relatively cold and dry. Therefore，there were fewer plants and animals to eat away from the coast.When these ancient people moved to the coast，they probably experienced a major cultural shift，the researchers suspect. Thats because observations of modern huntergatherer societies suggest that men are more likely to hunt for big animals when people live inland. On the coast，women play a more important role in providing food by gathering plants and shellfish.As for the second clue，the researchers unearthed 57 pieces of reddish pigment(颜料)The researchers think that the cave habitants used the paint for coloring their bodies or for other ceremonies. Symbolic behavior is a clearly human feature.Finally，the search discovered over 1,800 stone tools，including wellcrafted blades(刀片)These blades came in various sizes. The smallest were just less than a half inch wide. Ancient people may have attached these blades to the end of a stick to make spears or other tools.21Why did the early Africans move to the South African coast according to the text?ATo avoid cold and dry weather.BTo look for enough food to eat.CTo seek the cultural development.DTo collect more shellfish to make tools.22What does the underlined word “unearthed” in Paragraph 7 mean?AIntroduced. BProduced CUsed. DFound.23According to the text，we can learn that the cave habitants .Amight make tools with kinds of bladesBcould hunt for fish in the sea by shipCmade a living mainly by eating shellfishDknew how to use colors for painting housesBThe International Day of Disabled Persons，an international observance declared by the United Nations since 1992，is observed on December 3，aiming to promote an understanding of disability issues and get support for the rights of people with disabilities. The day takes place annually and focuses on a different issue each year. In South Africa，December 3 also marks the beginning of the Disability Awareness Month.Since the first celebration，people with disabilities have gained recognition of their rights by states across the globe and of their rightful place in society. But there is still much work ahead of us to turn those legal rights into a true revolution, in which diversity is fully accepted and lived.The estimated one billion people living with disabilities worldwide face many obstructions of inclusion in many key aspects of society. As a result，people with disabilities cant enjoy the equal rights as normal people, which include employment, education as well as social and political participation. The right to participate in public life is essential to create stable democracies (民主国家)，active citizenship and reduce inequalities in society.In many cases，people with disabilities must be able to fulfill their role in society. It is important to focus on the ability and not on the disability of an individual. It is important to note that disability is part of the human condition，and that all of us either are or will bee disabled to one degree or another during the course of our lives.By promoting empowerment (授权)，real opportunities for disabled people are created. This supports them in setting their own priorities. Empowerment involves investing in themin jobs，health，nutrition，education, and social protection. When disabled people are empowered, they are better prepared to take advantage of opportunities，and they can more readily accept their civic responsibilities.24. What is the International Day of Disabled Persons meant for?ATo raise money for the disabled.BTo stress the value of the disabled.CTo make an international celebration.DTo make ablebodied people care about the disabled.25What does the underlined word “obstructions” in Paragraph 3 mean?AChances. BBarriers.CTypes. DRegrets.26What is the main problem for disabled people?AThe number of them is too large.BFew of them seek legal rights.CThey cant be fully accepted by society.DThey think poorly of their role in society.27What is indicated in the last paragraph?AThe author is worried about the disabled.BThe disabled will have a brighter future.CWhat society has done is far from enough.DThe disabled must fight hard for their rights.CWhen I first started taking photographs of the night sky, I never thought Id end up doing it for a living. Id always been interested in photography. I used to drive my family and friends crazy because I was always taking photographs of them. Then one day I saw a poster of the Earth taken from outer space. Posters like that were really popular in the 1970s.I had seen lots of them, but there was something different about this one. It attracted me and it ended up changing my life!It hasnt always been easy though. I remember trying to take a picture of the Hale Bopp et for a photography petition in 1997.I checked with the experts at the local weather station to make sure they werent expecting clouds or strong winds. At 3:30 am I set the camera on a tripod(三脚架) in my garden, and then I began the countdown to 4:00 am, when the et was scheduled to appear. I recall thinking, “If everything goes as planned, the photo will show the et as a line of light moving across a background of stars.” But suddenly everything was terribly wrong! At 3:59 a.m., just as I was making the final adjustments, out the bushes came a streak (条纹) of black heading straight for my feet, and before I knew it, the camera, the tripod and I were on the ground! The streak of black was my neighbours cat Tiddles out for his late-night exercise, and he had ruined the only chance I had for the next 2,000 years of taking photographs of the spectacular(壮观的)et!But missed photo opportunities aside, astrophotography is a great job, and it can also be an enjoyable hobby. Surprising enough, you dont need any special equipment: just a 35 mm camera, a tripod and some slow-speed film. But you must remember to take care of your equipment.28.In the text the author mainly describes .A. how he was trained to be a weather expertB. how he took photographs for postersC. how he took photographs of peopleD. how he became an astrophotographer29. What changed the author pletely?A. Taking family photographs for a living.B. Taking up astrophotography as a hobby.C. An attractive poster of the Earth taken from outer space.D.A popular photograph of the et.30. What can we learn from the text?A. The author wanted to take a picture of the et for a petition.B. The author showed people how the et moved across the sky.C. The et was expected to appear at 3:30 am.D. The et once appeared in the year of xx.31. What destroyed the authors last opportunity to take the picture of the et?A. Unexpected clouds.B.A line of light.C.A neighbours cat.D.Strong winds.DLarge clouds of dust blowing off the Sahara desert can easily be seen from space.Joseph Prospero is with the University of Miami in the United States. He has studied African dust for many years. “ Atmospheric dust African dust is one of the most prominent(显著的) atmospheric features, second only to clouds,” he said.In the 1970s, Joseph Prospero found that a large amount of dust can blow all the way across the Atlantic Ocean. “It is obvious that there is a lot of dust. When it rains in Barbados or even here in Miami during the summer months, you actually get a layer of mud in the bottom of a bucket(桶).”African dust storms can harm air quality across the ocean. But new research shows that the storms also can do some good. Scientists observed Saharan dust by satellite as it blew across the Atlantic.Hongbin Yu is an atmospheric scientist at the University of Maryland. He found that an average of 28 million metric tons of dust fall in South Americas Amazon River basin each year.“ Yes, it is surprising because of the huge amount of dust and phosphorus(磷).”Phosphorus is a fertilizer that plants need to grow. Hongbin Yu found that the Amazon receives about 22 thousand metric tons of Saharan dust each year. He says the dust is an important provider of fertilizer. “The soil has limited phosphorus and it also can be washed out by rain and flooding.”In fact, the phosphorus falling from the sky is about the same as the amount that rivers carry away each year. The thick rainforest and the desert dust are joined together on one small planet.32.According to Joseph Prospero, atmospheric dust .A.is similar to cloudsB. can be easily noticedC.is carried by rainwaterD.is actually called African dust33. What can we learn about Saharan dust?A. It pollutes the air in the Amazon badly.B. It contains more phosphorus than the Amazon soil.C. The amount of phosphorus in it isnt enough for the Amazon.D. About 28 million metric tons of it fall in the Amazon each year.34.With the underlined sentence, the author tends to indicate that .A.it is a wonder that nature createsB. the planet we live on is too smallC. desert and rainforest matter the sameD. desert dust does more good than harm35.The text mainly wants to tell readers that Saharan dust .A.is a threat to our planetB. feeds Amazon rainforestC. harms the balance of natureD. puts the Amazon in big danger第二节 （共 5 小题，每小题 2 分，满分 10 分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。 It appears that there is never enough time for many senior school students.

Instead of wasting that time, read a book or do homework. 37._ If a friend asks you to do something and you have homework to do, realize which is more important and see your friend later.Decide on the time that is good for you to do certain things.

Review your notes every day. 38._If you spend a few minutes at the end of every day going over what you learnt, it will mean less time studying when it is time for the exam.39._Studies have shown that getting enough rest helps your memory.

Ive been proud of Gucha，an old temple in my village. Its a cultural relic with a long history，which makes it so famous that many tourists visit it every year.But now I feel worried about it. Though much money is brought in，part of it has been badly destroyed. Worse still，some people in my village want to pull it down and build a new factory where the old temple is. It represents the past of my village，so it should be protected well. The number of the visitors should be limited to protect the old temple. Also，a website should be built where people can look at the pictures of the temple without destroying its beauty. As for the factory，it should be built in some other places. Do you think so?Im looking forward to your early reply. Yours，Li Hua
