第一局部选修8Unit 1Ⅰ.阅读理解A(高三一模,D)You are a new manager at the American branch of your German firm in Chicago.With a few minutes to spare between meetings,you go to get a quick cup of coffee.“Hey, David, how are you?〞one of the senior partners at the firm asks you.“Good,thank you,Dr.Greer,〞you reply.You've really been wanting to make a connection with the senior leadership at the firm,and this seems like a great opportunity.But as you start to think of something to say,your American colleague breaks in to steal your spotlight.“So, Arnold,〞your colleague says to your boss,in such a casual manner that it makes your German soul cringe(畏缩),“So what's your Super bowl prediction? I mean,you're a Niners fan, right?〞The conversation moves on,and you walk silently back to your desk with your coffee.You know how important small talk is in the U.S.,and you feel jealous of people who're your colleague who can do it well.There's nothing small about the role that small talk plays in American professional culture.People from other countries are often surprised at how important small talk is in the U.S.and how naturally and comfortably people seem to do it—with peers,men,women,and even with superiors.You can be the most technically skilled worker in the world,but your ability to progress in your job in the United States is highly dependent on your ability to build and maintain positive relationships with people at work.And guess what skill is critical for building and maintaining these relationships? Small talk.What can you do if you are from another culture and want to learn to use small talk in the U.S.to build relationships and establish trust? Work hard to hone(磨炼)your own version of American-style small talk.Watch how others do it.You don't have to mimic what they do;in fact,that would likely backfire because people would see you as inauthentic.But if you can develop your own personal version,that can go a long way toward making you feel comfortable and competence.()1.The author introduces the topic of the passage by________.A.raising an interesting questionB.describing an interesting sceneC.making comparisonsD.telling a small jokes()2.What do we know about German people?A.They usually make small talk in work breaks.B.They hate making small talk.C.They don't make so much small talk.D.They are good at making small talk too.()3.What makes people from other countries surprised in American professional culture?A.American workers' ability to make progress.B.American workers' attitude towards superiors.C.The special meaning of small talk.D.The role small talk plays in work settings.()4.What does“backfire〞underlined in the last paragraph mean?A.Be difficult.B.Be helpful.C.Have a good result.D.Have the opposite effect.【主旨大意】本篇为说明文。

Canada's Anouk Leblang-Boucher got the bronze in 44.759 with Chinese Fu Tianyu disqualified for cross tracking. The 20-year-old Wang, who has won four World Cup races over 500m, proved herself as the most consistent short tracker in the world. Her victory helped ease China's pain of losing an expected gold in the women's 500m long-track speed skating when World Cup leader Wang Manli came second to Russia's Svetlana Zhurova on Tuesday.Like China's Athens Olympic champion Liu Xiang, Wang jumpedonto the podium and waved excitedly to the cheering crowd. "Until I jumped onto the podium did I know my name had not yet been announced," Wang said, laughing. "I was just so excited and anxious to get onto the podium."South Koreans Kang Yun-Mi and Jin Sun-Yu, tipped as biggest threats to Chinese skaters before the competition, were edged out in the semifinals.41. Which of the following statements is true?A. Wang Manli had been expected to win the women's 500m long track speed skating but she failedB. Evgenia Radanova became world record holder in 2002.C. Wang Meng won the first gold medal in the Turin Winter OlympicGames.D. Svetlana Zhurova came second together with Wang Manli.42.Why did Wang Meng jumped onto the podium before her name was announced?Because Liu Xiang had done so before.Because she didn't understand the language.Because the cheering crowd wanted her to do so.Because she was so excited and anxious.43. How many skaters are mentioned in this passage?A. 10B. 9C. 11D. 844. Which of the following explanations is closest in meaningwith the underlined word “edged out”in the last paragraph?A. forbidden to take partB. kicked outC. chosenD. picked outBWith the number of college graduates climbing to a record highthis year—some 2.12 million are entering the job market, anincrease of 670,000, or 46.2 percent, over last year, manypeople are asking if China's first “McDonald's generation",born in the early 1980s,can stand the intense competition andfind a place in the job market. They say this will be a testof both China's job market and its carefree younger generation.“Do not worry. We'll get whatever we want",they tell each otherto ease their own anxiety.Born in the early days of the country's reform and opening tothe outside world, growing up in the market economy, the youngsters, familiar with McDonald's and Mickey Mouse, love toeat hamburgers, and wear foreign brand jeans and T-shirts andworship Bill Gates. Compared with their parents, they enjoymore freedom in looking for a job—and with that freedom comingburdens.These college graduates are seen scouring recruitment information in newspapers and journals, the Internet and job markets nationwide.Shortly after hotel management major, Hao Wenhua, a young woman from Chongqing in Southwest China, failed the recruitment test of a five star hotel in Guilin, South China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. She appeared at a job market in Nanning, approximately 300 kilometers from Guilin, looking rather tired.Many businesses and companies say that they would take on experienced staff rather than the new graduates who are short of the experience of how to succeed in today's fast paced society.45.

Fierce Competition in the Job Market.B. McDonald's Generation Has Grown up.C. McDonald's Generation Faces Job Hunting.D. The Number of College Graduates Climbs to the Highest Point.CYour mobile phone rings, and instead of usual electronic signals, it's playing your favorite music. A friend sends you a favorite song to cheer you up. One day, a record company might forward new records and music videos to your phone.The mobile business is getting into the music business. For the moment, the interest is in pleasant ring tones, but somecompanies are hoping to take full advantage of the next generation of mobile phones---all –purpose gadgets that blend phone, personal stereo, video player and Internet browser into one. Finally, record companies might send new records and videos to fans who register their cell phone numbers.The fans could pass music or songs along to friends--- a kind of musical trading card. Unlike Internet tracks, mobile phone downloads would be easy for record companies to control, said former record industry official Ralph Simon, who is now chairman of your mobile, based in Santa Monic, California. “If you pass a song along to other phones through a network, each phone can be charged,” said Simon. “It's like going through a toll (收费)gate. There's more possibility for copyright control than there is on the Internet.”Massachusetts-based converse is offering a service in Portugal and the Netherlands that let people record tunes on their voice mail or send music as presents to friends. Finally, people might be able to sing karaoke and pass them along. The company is sure that people will want to use music to reach out and touch someone.“A mobile phone is not a listening machine, and you'll be disappointed if you think you can change it into a radio,”saidOhad Ouziel, a creative manager for Converse in Israel. “But if someone sends you a song while you are on vacation, you appreciate the feeling.”48. The title of this passage should be _______.A. Wonderful Mobile PhonesB. The Music BusinessC. The Internet, A Modern InventionD. Music On Your Phone49.The underlined word “blend”(in Paragraph 2)probably means _______.A. sendB. becomeC. combineD. compare50.Record companies _______ the idea of passing songs and music along mobile phones.A. are worried aboutB. are interested inC. try hard to stopD. take no notice of51.According to Ralph Simon it would be easier to______ through the mobile phone network than on the Internet.A. protect the copyright of music worksB. send personal messagesC. pass music to friendsD. send voice mailDJune 26,2000—the Human Genome Project, a great 3 billion,15-year task aimed at drawing the genetic map of humans,is now more than 90 percent completed. The scientific and medical communities are very excited about the chances genetic research provides for getting rid of diseases and prolonging human life. But those communities and policy makers also are careful about the scientific door they are opening as the project uncovers the mysteries of life.For the last few years, the genetic advances in fast developing field of biotechnology(生物学) have provided material for all kinds of work, but the developments of modern science in unlocking the secrets of the human genetic code have opened a world of possibilities for human health, as well as for the popular imagination。

单元仿真检测(一)Unit 1 A land of diversity(满分:120分限时:100分钟)Ⅰ.阅读理解AAmerican culture is unique because it is formed and developed under certain conditions. The major factors contributing to the making of this flew nation and the forming of a new culture are the hard environment, ethnic diversity (多民族) and plural religion, which is quite different from other nations in the world. What is more, these elements are still influencing the American culture.The early immigrants who were English Puritans settled down in northeast part of America. From 1607 to 1892, frontiers were pushed further west. The frontiersmen looked for a land of rich resources and a land of promise, opportunity and freedom. Actually they looked for a better life. So individualism (个人主义), self-reliance, and equality of opportunity have perhaps been the values most closely associated with the frontier heritage (遗产) of America.In history, people from different countries in the world rushed to America three times. They brought their own culture to America and later on, different cultures were mixed together. Thus the unique American culture is formed, a common cultural life with commonly shared values.The fundamental American belief in individual freedom and the fight of individuals to practice their own religion is at the center of religious experience in the United States. The great diversity of ethnic backgrounds has produced religious pluralism; almost all of the religions of the world are now practiced in the United States.Nowadays, we can see the continual influence of the three elements in the current American society. American family is typically parents and their unmarried children. Middle-aged and elderly people generally do not live with their married children. The people in America have a very strong desire to start a new life in a new place. Quite a number of people change residences every year. The average American moves fourteen times in his lifetime.1.We can learn from this article that ________.A.the frontiersmen left important society values for American cultureB.the early immigrants brought about the unique American cultureC.people in the world once rushed to America because of its unique cultureD.the American family members don’t get along well with each other2.What’s the author’s attitude towards American culture?A.He is critical of it.B.He admires it very much.C.He just states the facts.D.He looks down upon it.3.The last paragraph is about ________.A.the family structure in American societyB.the influence of the three elements in the current American societyC.the new life style of American familyD.the reason why American people like to change residences4.What might be the most suitable title of this article?A.The Immigrants in AmericaB.Why American Culture is UniqueC.The Influence of American CultureD.Plural Religion and American CultureBThe USA just endured its hottest summer in 75 years and the second-hottest summer on record, according to data released Thursday afternoon by the National Climatic Data Center in Asheville, N.C.The average US temperature during the summer of 2011 was 74.5 degrees, which was 2.4 degrees above the long-term (1901-2000) average. Only the Dust Bowl (沙尘暴) year of 1936, at 74.6 degrees, was warmer.Four states — Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico and Louisiana — had their warmest summer ever recorded, the climate center also reported.BLOG: Report links extreme weather events to global warming.Average temperatures for the summer in Texas and Oklahoma, at 86.8 degrees and 86.5 degrees, respectively, exceeded the previous statewide average temperature record for any state during any season.Texas also suffered through its driest summer on record. The state is in the midst of its worst drought since the 1950s. More than 81% of the state is listed as experiencing extreme drought, the worst category, according to Thursday’s US Drought Monitor.The drought monitor also reported that a third of the contiguous USA is currently in a drought.A total of 15 states in the South and East sweltered (闷热) through one of their top 10 warmest summers on record.“Based on a government index using residential energy demand as an indicator of temperature,”the contiguous US temperature — related energy demand was 22.3% above averageduring summer, the climate center noted in an online report. “This is the largest such value during the index’s period of record, which dates to 1895.”On the other side, two states — Oregon and Washington — had a cooler than average summer, while California had its wettest summer on record.US climate data go back to 1895. The climate center defines summer as June 1-Aug. 31. It will release global temperature data for the summer of 2011 next week.5.Which of the following statements is TRUE?A.The weather in the summer of 1936 was cooler than this summer in the USA.B.The weather in the USA this summer is the second-hottest one on record.C.The average US temperature during the summer of 2011 is below the long-term (1901-2000) average.D.The extreme weather has nothing to do with global warming.6.What does the underlined word mean in the fifth paragraph?A.Less than.B.Quicker than.C.More than.

If you are thinking about transferring, here is some information you should have to get started on the progress.The most common reasons for transferring are:1.Moving from a two-year community college to a four-year college/universityCommunity Colleges are designed to be transfer schools and offer only the first two years of undergraduate (本科) study. Their graduates often go on to do the last two years of a bachelor’s degree at another school. Many students choose such an approach to their university education. Community college tuition is low, though many community colleges offer great educations.2.Getting into a better schoolFor those students who want a second try at their dream schools or for those who simply want to trade up, transferring after their freshman or sophomore (二年级) year might be an option (选择). It’s much easier to get into selective schools as a sophomore/junior than as a freshman.3.MajorsGiven that US schools generally only require students to declare their majors in their sophomore year, sometimes students do not realize their preferred majors are unavailable at their schools until they’ve attended classes for a full year. Students transferring for this reason are best advised to research which schools are highly respected in their preferred majors before making their transfer choice.Keep in mind that some credits (学分) may not be transferable. If you are transferring from a two-year school to a four-year school, you may be required to retake course that you have already completed at the community college.Furthermore, some schools require you to complete a minimum number of credits at your new school before you can graduate (usually 60 credits or two years of coursework). This may delay your graduation date.9.Why is the American education system special?A.Because it permits students to change from one school to another.B.Because it provides high education.C.Because its tuition is low.D.Because college only takes two years’time.10.Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A.Community college tuition is not high.B.It’s not hard to get into selective schools as a sophomore than as a freshman.C.Students had known their preferred majors are available at their schools before they attended classes.D.Some schools ask you to complete a minimum number of credits at your new school before you can graduate.11.What does the last paragraph mean?A.Some credits may not be transferable.B.Some credits may be transferable.C.When you go to a new school, you needn’t retake course.D.If you transfer, your graduate date may be delayed.12.What’s the main idea of the passage?A.The tips of transferring.B.Think hard before you change schools.C.The American education system.D.Deciding to transfer is very important during your college career.DNeil Kerwin became American University’s (AU) 14th presidentin September 2007. Kerwin joined AU in 1975 and has held numerousdepartment and leadership positions, including head of the School ofPublic Affairs. In this interview, he speaks about developing leadershipamong AU students and inspiring them to public service and thelessons he has learned as the president of American University.“The longer I do this kind of work, the clearer it is to me that leadership is a collective activity. This happens here at American University hundreds of times every day at every level of the doing and managing hard work to reach those goals. Simply, leadership cannot be the field or responsibility of one person or a small group at the top. At its best, it is up to the organization.”“A president’s role is to make that clear, ensure it happens, and provide space, ideas, encouragement and acknowledgment of accomplishments. Vision (有远见卓识) is important, but one that colleagues have not contributed to or are not widely shared will not serve the purpose. I have also learned delegation (授权) is also important to success and that it is a process of constant adjustment, not a single act. No one is perfect in the work we do, and by recognizing this, you’re developing a healthy culture that supports reform. And, of course, none of this relieves the president of most responsibility for the institution, and the need to be clearly and visibly accountable.”“Another lesson is that crises (危机) assume a life of their own. They are a great time to learn and a bad time to plan. It is when times are good and stable that you need to examine the things that are of the greatest risk to your organization in the long term. As a leader, you must be able to provide the energy and motivation among your employees to ask these difficult questions, because difficult times will come.”13.According to Neil Kerwin, leadership mainly depends on ________.A.the president himselfB.students in the universityC.small group at the topD.the organization itself14.In the third paragraph, “it” means ________.A.the management B.the leadershipC.the responsibility D.the institution15.What does the passage mainly tell us about?A.The lessons Neil learned in University.B.The difficulty Neil has in his office.C.Neil’s opinion on leadership.D.Neil’s motivation and organization.Ⅱ.任务型阅读Life in ancient RomeCity and country lifeRoman cities were very modern places, the center of which was a large open space surrounded by markets, baths, arenas (竞技场) and other public buildings.

If I put on your shoes,I would be angry tooB. If I wore your shoes,I would also be happy tooC. If I were in your situation,I would also be angryD.

They need a listener and understanding.23.According to the passage,what would you best say before getting away from acomplainer if you were a listener?______A. I'm sorry to hear that,but it's no use complaining like that.B. I'm also unsatisfied with my own job.C. Pardon?What job would you like better?D. What can I do for you?24.The author writes the passage mainly to ______ .A. teach readers how to deal with complainersB. teach readers to be patient with complainersC. help deal with complainers' problemsD. help readers listen to complaints betterBGrandparents Answer a Call As a thirdgeneration native of Brownsville,Texas,Mildred Garza never planned to move away.Even when her daughter and son asked her to move to San Antonio to help with their children,she politely refused.Only after a year of friendly discussion did Ms.Garza finally say yes.That was four years ago.Today all three generations regard the move as a success,giving them a closer relationship than they would have had in separate cities.No statistics show the number of grandparents like Garza who are moving closer to adult children and grandchildren.Yet there is evidence suggesting that the trend is growing.Even President Obama's motherinlaw,Marian Robinson,has agreed to leave Chicago and move into the White House to help care for her granddaughters.According to a study by grandparents.com,83 percent of the people said Mrs.Robinson's decision will influence grandparents in the American family.Twothirds believe more families will follow the example of Obama's family."In the 1960s we were all a little wild and couldn't get away from home far enough or fast enough to prove we could do it on our own,"says Christine Crosby,publisher of Grand,a magazine for grandparents."We now realize how important family is and how important it is to be near them,especially when you're raising children."Moving is not for everyone.Almost every grandparent wants to be with his or her grandchildren and is willing to make sacrifices,but sometimes it is wiser to say no and visit frequently instead.Having your grandchildren far away is hard,especially knowing your adult child is struggling,but giving up the life you know may be harder.25.Why was Garza's move a success?______A. It strengthened her family ties.B. It improved her living conditions.C. It enabled her to make more friends.D. It helped her know more new places.26.What was the reaction of the public to Mrs.Robinson's decision?______A. 17% expressed their support for it.B. Few people responded sympathetically.C. 83% believed it had a bad influence.D. The majority thought it was a trend.27.What did Crosby say about people in the 1960s?______A. They were unsure of themselves.B. They were eager to raise more children.C. They wanted to live away from their parents.D. They had little respect for their grandparents.28.What does the author suggest the grandparents do in the last paragraph?______A. Make decisions in the best interests of their own.B. Ask their children to pay more visits to them.C. Sacrifice for their struggling children.D. Get to know themselves better.五、完形填空(本大题共20小题,共30.0分)A Shelter for the Homeless Last summer I was a volunteer (志愿者)at a shelter for the homeless,a place for homeless people to sleep at night.I wasn't working that summer and was(29)only two classes in summer school,so I had some(30)time.Three nights a week,I(31)in the kitchen of the shelter along with four other volunteers.We planned and(32)for 45 people hot meals(33)vegetables,chicken,fish and fruit.The homeless people(34)this good food because many of them usually didn't eat well.I(35)this volunteer work,making(36)with the four volunteers in the kitchen.One was a very nice elderly housewife,one a movie actor,another a young teacher,and the other a college student,(37)me.I talked to a lot of the homeless peop le at the shelter.Their life stories(38)me with sympathy (同情).Some of them had(39)with alcohol (酒)or drugs while others only hadbad(40).One woman worked for almost 30 years for a small company,and(41)she lost her job.She looked for a(42)job,but couldn't find one,for she was too(43).She could do nothing but sell her furniture-sofas,chairs,and tables(44)she could pay for her food.The woman(45)on job hunting,but she(46)couldn't find one.She had no money for her(47)and had to sleep in her car.Then she had to sell her car.Alone,(48),and homeless,she finally came to the shelter.29.

And this retired couple will add another locally grown delicious food to their menu.“We started harvesting roadkilled deer last year,” Bruce explained. His fridge is filled with meat harvested from deer killed in car accidents. Bruce and his wife think it is a right road toward a greener life. Their idea might best bedescribed as locavorism (本土膳食主义). And they believe that eating local food is healthier and better for the environment.About two years ago, the couple ran across a car accident. The only victim was a deer. And then they found an interesting list by chance.In Massachusetts, many deer always rush to the motorway and often cause the accidents. So some Massachusetts police departments keep lists of people interested in ha rvesting meat if a deer isn’t damaged too much after a runin with a car. There are eight people on the Westf ord Police Department’s official list. In addition, animal control officials also call people to harvest the meat. But Massachusetts law requires that the driver of the car get first right to the deer. If the driver or passengers don’t want to get the deer, then police can give the animal to people living in Massachusetts. In other words, they can go to the list.Bruce and his wife weren’t on the Wes tford list, when they came across that first deer in 2009. But now, they are, and they have harvested three d eer as a result, putting the extra meat in the fridge for regular dinners and special occasions like Christmas.34.

Why does the couple have such a diet?A. To save money.B. To seek a greener life.C. To enjoy a special food.D. To show their kindness. 36. When did the Sweetsers find the interesting list?A. After they happened upon a car accident 2 years ago.B. After they were asked to harvest the deer by chance.C. After they heard about the road-killed deer.D. After they failed to save the injured deer.37. “An interesting list” mentioned in Paragraph 3 records ________.A. the food prepared for the Christmas DayB. the steps how to cook the delicious foodC. the punishment for the drivers who drive too fastD. the names of people who can harvest the deer meat四、语法填空(共10小题,每小题1.5分,共15分)Long, long ago, a Frenchman traveled to a small Italian town.

一、阅读理解(共7小题,每小题2分,共14分)ANorthern California’s national parks appear pure and clean, almost untouched. But scientists are finding that there is more to this wild area than one can see. Even in the deep forests and on the mountain tops, animals may be poisoned by pesticides used in valley farms far below.Researchers with the United States Geological Survey (美国地质勘探局) are working late into the night. They are searching for and catching frogs in the mountains of the Sierra Nevada. The Pacific chorus frog (拟蝗蛙) breeds in the high mountains just as the snow melts. The pools basically fill with melt water, and as soon as the ponds melt the chorus frogs begin breeding there. Some Pacific chorus frogs in the mountains of California have tested positive for farming pesticides.Gary Fellers is a researcher who once worked for the USGS. He and other team members are collecting the frogs to test them for agricultural poisons. No one farms in these forested national parks. However, winds carry chemicals from the Central Valley farming area into the mountains.Kelly Smalling was the lead writer of the USGS study. “The decline of amphibians (两栖动物) has been documented for decades and decades. Some populations have gone extinct. And why these populations are declining is still amystery.” Ms. Smalling says pesticides could be harming frogs and other amphibians.The researchers tested pond water and soil from the bottom of the ponds. They were clean or almost free of pesticides. But tests on the bodies of the frogs showed thepresence of 12 agricultural pesticides.The concentration on the frog becomes greater than the concentration that ispresent on the water or some other part of the environment. Kelly Smalling says the nextstep is to find a way to deal with the pollution. “The first thing we need to do isunderstand how these chemicals that we’re finding harm the frogs. We have to understand the problem before we can fix it.”1. Animals in Northern California’s national parks ________. A. are well protected B. are killed by air pollution C. are harmed by pesticidesD. will be sent to the farms in the valley2. According to the text, the Pacific chorus frogs ________. A. breed when it snows B. are only found in the ocean C. are studied by the scientists D. are free from the farming pesticides3. What will the researchers do next? A. Keep the pond clean. B. Deal with the pollution.此卷只装订不密封班级 姓名 准考证号 考场号 座位号C. Find new homes for the frogs.D. Search for and catch the frogs.BUnder the cold clear water of Lake Huron, researchers have found a five-and-a-half-foot-long piece of wood that is 8,900 years old. The wood, which is tapered (使成锥形) on one side in a way that looks deliberate, may provide important clues to a mysterious period in North American prehistory.“This was the stage when humans gradually shifted from hunting large animals to fishing, gathering and agriculture,” said anthropologist John O’Shea. “But because most of the places in this area that prehistoric people lived in are now under water, we don’t have good evidence of this important shift itself. We just have clues from before and after the change.”With support from the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), O’Shea and his colleague Guy Meadows began exploring the area several years ago. In 2009 they reported finding a series of stone features that they believe were “drive lanes” used by ancient Indian hunters.Since that discovery, O’Shea and Meadows have worked on identifying human campsites, which are typically located away from hunting areas. On their 25-foot boat, the researchers first spotted the ancient wood object using a small piece of equipment with a camera. Then a team of divers —including O’Shea — went down about 100 feet to get it.The wood’s age has now b een fixed by means of carbon dating. It is currently undergoing more detailed analyses to determine whether there has been human modification, which visual examination suggests. “The first thing you notice is that it appears to have been shaped with a rounded base and a pointed tip,” O’Shea said. “It must have been created. It looks like it might have been used as a tent pole or a pole to hang meat.”In addition to the wood, the researchers have collected many other samples from the bottom of the lake. O’Sh ea and his colleagues will need to wait for calmer weather before they can resume their search for evidence of human life under the great lake.4. During the mysterious period mentioned in the passage, the Lake Huron ________.A. was deserted by ancient IndiansB. witnessed the start of agricultureC. was taken up by large animalsD. began to be covered by water5. Which of the following statements is WRONG?A. The findings of John O’Shea and his colleagues may prove a previous theory.B. The effort that Jo hn O’Shea and Meadows made before 2010 was meaningless.C. Some equipment was used to support the discovery.D. John O’Shea and his colleagues didn’t draw the final conclusion from visual examination.6. What’s the fourth paragraph mainly about?A. How the wood was found.B. Why the wood is important.C. Preparations that were made for the discovery of the wood.D. Conclusions the experts have made from the discovery of the wood.7. According to the passage, ________.A. experts haven’t found out the age of the woodB. experts first noticed the wood when they were divingC. the wood was probably a human-made toolD. the wood is the most important discovery among all the samples found under the lake二、单句改错(共10小题,每小题1分,共10分)每句中有1处错误,找出并改正。
