development of agriculture
[2022新高考I卷]Human speech contains more than2,O00 different sounds,.from the common“m”
and "a"to the rare clicks of some southern African languages.But why are certain sounds more common
than others?A ground-breaking,five-year study shows that diet-related changes in human bite led to new
speech sounds that are now found in half the world's languages.
More than 30 years ago,the scholar Charles Hockett noted that speech sounds called labiodentals,
such as"f"and "v",were more common in the languages of societies that ate softer foods.Now a team
of researchers led by Damian Blasi at the University of Zurich,Switzerland,has found how and why this
trend arose.
They discovered that the upper and lower front teeth of ancient human adults were aligned ()
making it hard to produce labiodentals,which are formed by touching the lower lip to the upper teeth.
Later,our jaws changed to an overbite structure ()making it easier to produce such sounds.
The team showed that this change in bite was connected with the development of agriculture in the
Neolithic period.Food became easier to chew at this point.The jawbone didn't have to do as much work and
so didn't grow to be so large.
Analyses of a language database also confirmed that there was a global change in the sound of world
languages after the Neolithic age,with the use of"f"and""increasing remarkably during the last few
thousand years.These sounds are still not found in the languages of many hunter-gatherer people today.
This research overturns the popular view that all human speech sounds were present when human
beings evolved around 300,000 years ago."The set of speech sounds we use has not necessarily remained
stable since the appearance of human beings,but rather the huge variety of speech sounds that we find
today is the product of a complex interplay of things like biological change and cultural evolution,"said
Steven Moran,a member of the research team.
1.Which aspect of the human speech sound does Damian Blasi's research focus on?
A.Its variety.
B.Its distribution.
C.Its quantity.
D.Its development.
2.Why was it difficult for ancient human adults to produce labiodentals?
A.They had fewer upper teeth than lower teeth.
B.They could not open and close their lips easily.
C.Their jaws were not conveniently structured.
D.Their lower front teeth were not large enough.

演讲的原则
public speaking,principles
[2020新高考I卷]Some individuals are born with a gift for public speaking.1.
Do you
want to be a good public speaker?Here are some principles you must master.
People want to listen to someone who is interesting,relaxed and comfortable.Too often,when you
stand up to give a speech,you focus on the“public”at the expense of the“speaking.”2.
Focus on the speaking.Talk directly to your audience,be yourself and make a connection.
Even the most successful public speaker will make mistakes.Yet,the only one who cares about any
mistake is the one who is speaking.People's attention wanders constantly.In fact,most people only
absorb about 20 percent of a speaker's message.So,don't stop speaking when you make a mistake unless
it's a truly serious one.3.
Your goal is not to be a perfect public speaker.4.And like everything else in life,that
takes practice.Remember,even world champion athletes practice their skills on a consistent basis.
5.
It's rare to hear someone say,"I wish that speaker had spoken longer."On the other
hand,you probably can't count the times that you've thought,"I'm glad that talk is over.It seemed to go
on forever!"So surprise your audience.Always make your presentation just a bit shorter than anticipated.
It's better to leave your listeners wishing for more than shifting restlessly in their seats waiting for your
speech finally to end.
A.Do the opposite.
B.You want to be an effective public speaker.
C.You don't need to apologize for a minor slip.
D.When it comes to public speaking,less is usually more.
E.The objective of most speeches is to benefit the audience.
F.Take the fear out of public speaking by focusing on your listeners.
G.However,the majority of people are effective speakers because they train to be.
