Until recently, several lines of evidence — from fossils genetics, and archaeology — suggested that humans first moved from Africa into Eurasia (the land of Europe and Asia) about 60,000 years ago, quickly replacing other early human species, such as Neanderthals and Denisovans, that they may have met along the way.
However, a series of recent discoveries, including 100,000-year-old human teeth found in a cave in China, have clouded this straightforward statement.And the latest find, a prehistoric jawbone at the Misliya Cave in Israel dating back to nearly 200,000 years ago, which is almost twice as old as any Homo sapiens (智人) remains discovered outside Africa, where our species was thought to have originated from, has added new and unexpected twist.The find suggests that there were multiple waves of migration across Europe and Asia and could also mean that modern humans in the Middle East were interacting, and possibly mating, with other human species for tens of thousands of years.“Misliya breaks the mould (模式) of existing assumptions of the timing of the first known Homo sapiens in these regions,” said Chris Stringer, head of human origins at the Natural History Museum in London.“It's important in removing long-lasting-constraint (限制) on our thinking.”
Prof.Hershkovitz, who led the work at Tel Aviv University said, “What Misliya tells us is that modern humans left Africa not 100,000 years ago, but 200,000 years ago.This is revolution in the way we understand the evolution of our own species.” He also added that the record now indicates that humans probably travelled beyond the African continent whenever the climate allowed it.“I don't believe there was one big departure from Africa,” he said.“I think that throughout hundreds of thousands of years humans were coming in and out of Africa all the time.”
The discovery means that modern humans were potentially meeting and interacting during a longer period with other ancient human groups, providing more opportunity for cultural and biological exchanges.It also raises interesting questions about the fate of the earliest modern human pioneers.Genetic data from modern-day populations around the world strongly suggest that everyone outside Africa can trace their ancestors back to a group that left around 60,000 years ago.So, the inhabitants of the Misliya Cave are probably not the ancestors of anyone alive today, and scientists can only guess why their branch of the family tree came to an end.
【语篇解读】 这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了人类迁徙的历史要比此前证实的要早,这一发现意味着现代人类有可能在更长的时期内与其他古代人类群体相遇和互动,为文化和生物交流提供了更多的机会。
4. What does the underlined word “they” refer to in Paragraph 1?
A.Early human species living in Europe.
B.Neanderthals and Denisovans.
C.People first moving from Africa into Eurasia.
D.Ancient people living in Africa all the time.
【解析】 C 词义猜测题。根据文章第一段“Until recently, several lines of evidence — from fossils genetics, and archaeology — suggested that humans first moved from Africa into Eurasia (the land of Europe and Asia) about 60,000 years ago, quickly replacing other early human species, such as Neanderthals and Denisovans”(直到最近,来自化石遗传学和考古学的几行证据表明,大约6万年前,人类首次从非洲迁移到欧亚大陆(欧亚大陆的欧洲和亚洲),迅速取代了其他早期人类物种,如尼安德特人和丹尼索瓦人)可知,此处they指代前文的humans first moved from Africa into Eurasia(第一批从非洲到欧亚大陆的人)。
5. What does the Misliya discovery suggest?
A.Our ancestors were powerful and kind of aggressive.
B.Our ancestors left Africa much earlier than thought.
C.The origins of modern humans are from Europe.
D.Homo sapiens, Neanderthals and Denisovans once lived together.
【解析】 B 推理判断题。根据文章第一段中“humans first moved from Africa into Eurasia (the land of Europe and Asia) about 60,000 years ago,”(大约6万年前,人类第一次从非洲迁移到欧亚大陆(欧亚大陆),)和第二段中“a prehistoric jawbone at the Misliya Cave in Israel dating back to nearly 200,000 years ago, which is almost twice as old as any Homo sapiens (智人) remains discovered outside Africa, where our species was thought to have originated from, has added new and unexpected twist.”(在以色列米斯利亚(Misliya)洞穴中发现的一块史前颌骨,可追溯到近20万年前,几乎是在非洲以外发现的智人遗迹的两倍,而我们的物种被认为来自非洲。这一发现为我们带来了意想不到的新变化。)可推知,我们的祖先离开非洲的时间比我们想象的要早得多。
6.What can be learned from Prof Hershkovitz's words?
A.Climate was a big factor in human migration from Africa.
B.There was a large-scale human migration from Africa.
C.Human migration was occasional in Africa 200,000 years ago.
D.The Misliya find is against our understanding of human evolution.
【解析】 A 推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段“He also added that the record now indicates that humans probably travelled beyond the African continent whenever the climate allowed it.”(他还补充说,现在的记录表明,只要气候允许,人类很可能会到非洲大陆以外的地方旅行。)可推知,Hershkovitz教授认为气候是人类从非洲迁徙的一个重要因素。
7. What can we infer about those living in Misliya 200, 000 years ago according to the last paragraph?
A.They were ancestors of people living in China.
B.They left evidence for their mysterious disappearance in history.
C.They probably contributed little to present-day people genetically.
D.They could be traced by their remains left on their travelling route.
【解析】 C 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“everyone outside Africa can trace their ancestors back to a group that left around 60,000 years ago.So, the inhabitants of the Misliya Cave are probably not the ancestors of anyone alive today”(非洲以外的所有人都可以追溯到大约6万年前离开非洲的族群。所以,米斯利亚洞穴的居民很可能不是今天活着的任何人的祖先)可知,Misliya可能对当代人的基因贡献不大。

30 St Mary Axe, commonly known as the Gherkin, was designed by internationally noted architect, Lord Norman Foster.Built in 2004, London's first environmentally sustainable sky-scrapper was constructed for Swiss-Re, the largest re-insurance company in the world.The Gherkin, which is the sixth tallest building in London, was sold for over £600 million in 2007, making it the most expensive location in Britain to have an office.Since its completion, 30 St Mary Axe has won many architectural awards including in 2004 the Royal Institute of British Architects Stirling Prize and in 2006 the BD World Architecture the “most admired new building in the world”.
Lying in the heart of the city, Foster's building is on the site of London's historic Baltic Exchange which was severely damaged in 1992.Constructed exactly 100 years before completion of the Gherkin, surviving parts of the Baltic Exchange building were sold and are being re-constructed in Tallinn, the capital of the Baltic country Estonia.The Baltic Exchange, which trades in the sale of merchant vessels and transportation of industrial bulk commodities and originates back to 1744, was started by ship owners and brokers meeting in a coffee house.
At the top of the Gherkin, on the 40th floor, there is a private bar featuring a 360° panoramic view of London.Despite the building being rounded, the “lens” (镜头) shaped glass roof above the bar is the only curved glass in the building, and is similar in design to the glass dome which covered part of the ground floor of the old Baltic Exchange.
The smooth clean lines of the building cover a high tech and environmentally designed interior.To reach the roof bar there is a hydraulic lift, pushed from below, which doesn't require any machinery above it.Double-glassed gaps in each floor create vertical corridors that help keep warm in the winter and improve air flow in the summer.This, coupled with all the natural light flooding in through the windows, results in the building needing much less energy.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章简单介绍了位于英国伦敦的Gherkin ——“瑞士再保险塔”的相关知识。
8.What can we know from the first paragraph?
A.Foster isn't an English architect.
B.The Gherkin is very famous in the world.
C.The Gherkin is the tallest building in London.
D.The Gherkin is the first sky-scrapper in London.
【解析】 B 推理判断题。根据文章第一段最后一句“Since its completion, 30 St Mary Axe has won many architectural awards including in 2004 the Royal Institute of British Architects Stirling Prize and in 2006 the BD World Architecture the “most admired new building in the world”.(自落成以来,30 St Mary Axe获得了许多建筑奖项,包括2004年英国皇家建筑师协会的斯特林奖和2006年BD世界建筑“世界上最受赞赏的新建筑”)”可知,Gherkin非常著名。
9.When was the Baltic Exchange building constructed?
A.In the mid-19th century.
B.In the late 19th century.
C.In the early 20th century.
D.In the mid-20th century.
【解析】 C 推理判断题。根据文章第二段第二句“Constructed exactly 100 years before completion of the Gherkin, surviving parts of the Baltic Exchange building were sold and are being re-constructed in Tallinn, the capital of the Baltic country Estonia.(在Gherkin完工前整整100年,Baltic Exchange大楼的残存部分被出售,并正在波罗的海国家爱沙尼亚的首都塔林重建)”可知,Baltic Exchange在瑞士再保险塔建成前100年建成,所以推断出是1904年,也就是20世纪早期。
10.What is at the top of the Gherkin?
A.A coffee house.
B.The Baltic Exchange.
C.A private bar.
D.A private office.
【解析】 C 细节理解题。根据文章第三段第一句“At the top of the Gherkin, on the 40th floor, there is a private bar featuring a 360° panoramic view of London.(在Gherkin的顶部,40层,有一个私人酒吧,提供360度的伦敦全景)”可知,在该建筑物顶部有个私人酒吧。故选C。
11.How does the Gherkin manage to save energy?
A.By being equipped with double glass.
B.By stopping people using electricity.
C.By opening all the windows in the summer.
D.By asking people to use less air-conditioning.
【解析】 A 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段最后两句“Double-glassed gaps in each floor create vertical corridors that help keep warm in the winter and improve air flow in the summer.This, coupled with all the natural light flooding in through the windows, results in the building needing much less energy.(每层楼的双层玻璃缝隙创造了垂直走廊,在冬天帮助保暖,在夏天改善空气流通。这一点,再加上所有自然光通过窗户涌入,使得建筑需要更少的能源)”可知,每层楼的双层玻璃能够在冬天帮助保暖,在夏天改善空气流通。

In the land of the Sagas, it isn't Christmas if there isn't a flood of books under the tree—literally.
The Jolabokaflod, or Christmas Book Flood, is a much-loved tradition that has been celebrated in Iceland since 1945.It's a bit like Britain's Super Thursday, when hundreds of hardbacks hit the shelves on the first Thursday of October, but much bigger: Two-thirds of books in Iceland are published in November and December.Hundreds of new titles go on sale in bookshops and supermarkets at reduced prices, a Yuletide(圣诞季) custom that has also become vital for the publishing industry's survival.
On Christmas Eve, Icelanders traditionally exchange books and spend the evening reading books—perhaps curling up by the fireside with the latest crime novel by Arnaldur Indridason.Almost seven out of ten Icelanders buy at least one book as a Christmas gift,according to the Icelandic Publishers Association.
“Literature is very important in Iceland and it is, I guess, the art form that is something the whole public can relate to, ”said Sigrun Hrolfsdottir, an artist and mother of two children.Her daughter and son have already picked the books they want out of the Bokatidindi, an 80-page catalog of novels,poetry and children's books distributed free to all households.
Iceland's literary tradition was born about 900 years ago with the Icelandic Sagas, widely seen as a gem in world literature and still studied in school by Icelandic children today.The Jolabokaflod started during World War I, when paper was one of the few things not rationed in Iceland.Because of this,Icelanders gave books as gifts while other commodities were in short supply,turning them into a country of bookaholics to this day, according to jolabokaflod.org.In fact,a 2013 study conducted at Bifröst University found that 50 percent of Icelanders read more than eight books a year and 93 percent read at least one.
【语篇解读】 文章主要介绍了冰岛人钟爱的一项传统——“圣诞书潮(Jolabokaflod)”。 它起源于1945年, 全国2/3的图书都集中在十一月和十二月发售。各地书店里、超市中, 数百种新书全都折价促销。冰岛人习惯在圣诞节前夕互赠图书作为礼物并一起在阅读中度过美好的圣诞节时光。这一圣诞节传统如今还关系到出版业的生死存亡。
12.How do Icelandic people celebrate Christmas each year?
A.Giving books as gifts and reading.
B.Purchasing smaller gifts for children.
C.Holding large family parties on ChristmasEve.
D.Composing stories for family members.
【解析】 A 细节理解题。根据第三段中的On Christmas Eve,Icelanders traditionally exchange books and spend the evening reading books...Almost seven out of ten Icelanders buy at least one book as a Christmas gift...可知, 冰岛人通过赠送书籍作为礼物和读书来庆祝每年的圣诞节。
13. Why does the author give the example of Sigrun Hrolfsdottir?
A.To advertise Christmas Book Flood.
B.To tell us how clever her two children are.
C.To publicize the grand Christmas occasion in Iceland.
D.To show the importance of reading in Icelandic culture.
【解析】 D 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Literature is very important in Iceland and it is, I guess,the art form that is something the whole public can relate to,” said Sigrun Hrolfsdottir,an artist and mother of two children.Her daughter and son have already picked the books...” 可知, 作者给出Sigrun Hrolfsdottir的例子是为了表明阅读在冰岛文化中的重要性。
14. What does the underlined word “gem” in the last paragraph most probably mean?
A.A fine tradition.
B.The best work.
C.A great event.
D.An important subject.
【解析】 B 词义猜测题。根据画线词所在句子Iceland's literary tradition was born about 900 years ago with the Icelandic Sagas,widely seen as a gem in world literature and still studied in school by Icelandic children today.可知, 冰岛的文学传统被广泛视为世界文学的珍宝, 至今仍被冰岛儿童在学校里学习,由此可知划线单词意思为“最好的作品”。
15. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?
A.The history of Iceland.
B.The origin of the Jolabokaflod.
C.The activities on Christmas Eve.
D.The impact of the Jolabokaflod.
【解析】 B 段落大意题。根据最后一段中的The Jolabokaflod started during World War I, when paper was one of the few things not rationed in Iceland.Because of this,Icelanders gave books as gifts while other commodities were in short supply,turning them into a country of bookaholics to this day,according to jolabokaflod.org.”可知“圣诞书潮”开始于第一次世界大战期间, 当时纸张是冰岛少数不限量供应的东西之一, 所以冰岛人在其他商品供应不足的时候把书作为礼物送给别人。由此可知, 最后一段主要讲述的是“圣诞书潮”的起源。

【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了纪录片《零零后》的内容、拍摄过程和影响。
36.【解析】 were 考查动词的时态和主谓一致。句意:它展示了出生在2000年到2009年之间的孩子们的真实生活。根据between 2000 and 2009可知,此处描述的是发生在过去的事情,用一般过去时。关系代词who指的是先行词children,定语从句的谓语也应用复数形式。故填were。

第二节 读后续写(满分25分)
阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。
Last Saturday I received a call from my close friend, Peter.He asked me to help with his group who provided musical performances at the local hospitals.At first I was unwilling to go because of my unfinished homework, but I was finally persuaded into helping out this one time, which turned out to be an unforgettable and fruitful experience.
That evening, I was picked up by Peter and went to a local hospital with him, taking my guitar and hoping I could sing some solo songs with his musical group.An extremely large hospital came into our sight.When guided into the hall, we were shocked to find so many patients and staff there.What we saw next aroused our sympathy.Some patients were in wheelchairs or with their arms in bandages, while others were with their drips attached.Some faces were rather pale; some wore worried expressions; some walked as fast as they could.Maybe their days seemed to be dull during the period of their treatment, so our coming brought some color into their lives.Seeing their happy faces, I thought it was worthwhile to join Peter's group.
Among the audience, I spotted one particular young girl aged about 16, who was wearing a head scarf and appeared to be more delighted than the others.When we started our performance, excitement filled the hall.Peter mentioned to me that the young girl I had noticed earlier was singing along with all our songs quietly to herself.At a break, out of curiosity, I asked one of the nurses about the girl.She said that the girl suffered serious burns and was under treatment and that she was a bit down these days, but our performance had lifted her spirits.Our songs moved all the people present.They all cheered for us, including the young girl and we were inspired.Facing these lovely people, we really wanted to do more.

Paragraph 1:
We_asked_the_girl_if_she_would_like_to_sing_with_us. At first, she refused our suggestion without the slightest hesitation, saying she had never sung in front of audience before.Additionally, she was afraid of messing it up.However,after our constant encouragement and persuasion,she finally made up her mind to give it a shot as part of our group.Surprisingly,her soft and melodious voice made her performance a great success.All the audience burst into deafening applause and cheers which lasted for several minutes at the end of her performance.
Paragraph 2:
After_her_performance,I_saw_a_change_in_the_girl's_eyes. They seemed much brighter than when we had first met her just a couple of hours ago.She appeared to have gained a lot of confidence from this experience.She told me we had made her day.A bright smile spread across the little girl's face.I was pleased that I neither missed the opportunity to help others nor just thought of myself and my own needs.Not only stepping out did help those in need, but also it allow me to taste the sweetness of helping others.
