阅读理解一 (限时15分钟，每小是 A In 1879,an 8-year-old girl made a discovery that would rock our understanding of human history.On the walls of Altamira cave in northem Spain,she spotted amazing drawings of wild cows,painted in vivid red and black.More striking even than the images was their age:they were made thousands of years ago by modern humans'supposedly primitive ancestors.Today,nearly 400 caves across Europe have been found decorated with hand stencils(模板)，strange symbols and beautiful images of animals created by these skillful artists. The discoveries led to the view that artistic talent arose after modern humans arrived in the region some 40,000 years ago,as part of a "cultural explosion" reflecting a flowering of the human mind.But more recent evidence has blown this idea out of the water. For a start,modern humans might not have been the first artists in Europe.What's more,a collection of cave paintings emerging in Indonesia has dismissed the idea that Europe was the center of creativity. Local people have long known that the caves of the island of Sulawesi,Indonesia,contain many painted images.Modern humans are thought to have reached the region some 65,000 years ago,but nobody imagined the art could be very old because ancient paintings seem unlikely to survive in the environment of high temperatures.A team of researchers led by Maxime Aubert,now at Griffith University in Australia, upended this idea using a technique that is shifting our understanding of cave art.Using this technique in seven caves,they found a hand stencil was at least 39,900 years old,making it the oldest known hand stencil at that time. This opened a floodgate to new discoveries in Indonesia.These included a hunting scene created at least 43,900 years ago,and by far the oldest descriptive artwork."When we found that image,we were absolutely delighted,but when it turned out to be that old,we were almost jumping with joy,"says Adam Brumm,also at Griffith University. 1.What did the girl find in the cave? A.Wild animals.B.Ancient images. C.Painting techniques.D.Recording artists. 2.What was a misunderstanding removed by recent evidence about the cave art? A.It can be traced back to Europe.

B Next time you're walking through a park on a hot day,take a moment to sit under a big old tree.You'll find that the temperature is something like 2C cooler than if you were beneath an umbrella.Why?Because a mature tree releases a massive amount of water from its leaves,which cools the surrounding air,just like the way sweating cools our bodies down. So a single tree influences the microclimate around it-but what about an entire forest?That's the question explored in The Power of Trees by German forester Peter Wohlleben.He writes about trees,ecosystems,roots and the many creatures who live in and among them in a fresh,lively way.He believes forests and trees make decisions about their survival,protect and look after their young. For readers,some of this language is familiar,and some may know that this style has been a source of derision (in the past.However,it's this down- to-earth,conversational style that makes the book come to life and makes complex science accessible.He explains processes,such as the way trees access and use sugars at different times of the year,in simple, everyday terms. Wohlleben writes in a calm style,but he can't hide his anger with the way people today-including many environmentalists-now "think of trees as little more than biological storage units for carbon dioxide either while they are alive or when they are dead".This narrow perspective ignores the vast beneficial effects that forests generate for global temperature management.His claims and criticisms are backed by emerging science and new research,as well as practical observations of how the presence of forests changes the landscape nearby.
