The people who built Stonehenge in southern England thousands of years ago had wild parties, eating barbecued pigs and breaking pottery. This is according to recent work by archaeologists - history experts who investigate how human beings lived in the past.
Archaeologists digging near Stonehenge last year discovered the remains of a large prehistoric village where they think the builders of the mysterious stone circle used to live. The village is about 4,600 years old, the same age as Stonehenge and as old as the pyramids in Egypt. It is less than two miles from the famous ancient landmark and lies inside a massive man-made circular dirt wall, or "henge", known as the Durrington Walls.
Remains found at the site included jewelry, stone arrowheads, tools made of deer antlers, wooden spears and huge amounts of animal bones and broken pottery'. "These finds suggest Stone Age people went to the village at special times of the year to feast and party", says Mike Parker-Pearson from Sheffield University in England.
He said many of the pig bones they found had been thrown away half-eaten. He also said the partygoers appeared to have shot some of the farm pigs with arrows, possibly as a kind of sport before barbecuing them.
An ancient road which led from the village to the River Avon was also found. Here, the experts think, people came 'after their parties to throw dead relatives in the water so the bodies would be washed downstream to Stonehenge.
Parker-Pearson believes Stonehenge was like a cemetery where ancient Britons buried the dead and remembered their ancestors. "The theory is that Stonehenge is a kind of spirit home to the ancestors."
The recent discovery of the village within the Durrington Walls shows that Stonehenge didn't stand alone but was part of a much bigger religious site, according to Parker-Pearson.
People still come to worship and celebrate at Stonehenge today. They meet there when the sun sets on the shortest day of winter and when it rises on the longest day of summer. But the days of' barbecuing whole pigs there and throwing family members into the river are a thing of the past.
64. What was Stonehenge according to the text?
A. A village where hundreds of people once lived
B. A place that regularly hosted large parties
C. A church where local villagers would get married
D. A site where dead people were placed or remembered
65. The underlined word “it” (Paragraph 2) refers to _____.
A. the village
B. Stonehenge
C. the pyramid
D. the dirt wall
66. From the text we can infer that the people who came to the village ______.
A. liked to drink wine
B. knew how to hunt
C. were from Egypt
D. lived by the River Avon
67. What do experts think people did after the village parties?
A. Returned to live at Stonehenge
B. Prayed for good luck in the new year
C. Hunted farm pigs as a sport.
D. Put their dead relatives in the river.
D
US biologists have created cloned monkey embryos, and successfully transferred them into monkey mothers. Although none of the resulting pregnancies lasted more than a month, this is by far the closest scientists have come to cloning a primate.
The study was unveiled yesterday by reproductive biologist Gerald Schatten of the University of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, at the annual meeting of the American Society for Reproductive Medicine in Philadelphia. Schatten's group copied a technique used earlier this year to clone a human embryo and extract embryonic stem cells.
If researchers are able to repeat this process in monkeys, it might help them to refine the tricky technique without experimenting on human eggs and embryos, which are very difficult to obtain and raise a host of ethical objections. This in turn might help to resolve whether human embryonic stem cells, which can grow into a variety of tissues, will prove useful in medicine.
In the Korean work, the cloned human embryos were allowed to divide in culture for just five or six days before being terminated. But, by adopting the Koreans' technique, Schatten's team made 135 cloned monkey embryos and transferred them into 25 mothers. Schatten says he is not yet sure why the Korean method is so successful. Rather than sucking the nucleus out of the recipient eggs, the technique involves gently squeezing it out. This may remove less of the cell's cytoplasm and leave more of the essential molecules needed by the egg to direct embryo development; or it may simply cause less damage to the eggs.
None of the cloned monkey embryos resulted in a pregnancy that lasted more than a month. But Schatten says it is too early to say whether cloned monkeys will ever be born; it may just take more attempts. It is also impossible, he says, to use these results to predict whether a cloned human baby could survive long in development. But at least his study confirms that the Korean cloning method works, something that has been difficult to prove because very few research groups work in such areas.
68. What’s the best title of the passage?
A. Biologists Come Close to Cloning Primates
B. A Study Made by Reproductive Biologist Gerald Schatten
C. The Korean Cloning Techniques
D. The Process in Cloning Monkeys
69. The underlined word “terminated” in Para. 4 means ______.
A. ended
B. tested
C. continued
D. used
70. What can we know from the last paragraph?
A. Scientists have developed the techniques of cloning a primate
B. Not all of the resulting pregnancies lasted more than a month.
C. Researchers have a long way to go based on this process in monkeys.
D. A cloned human baby could survive longer than cloned monkey embryos.

Obtaining fresh water from icebergs
The idea of getting fresh water from icebergs that are moved to populated areas or places was once treated as a joke. Recently, scientists have warned that the human race will outgrow its fresh water supply faster than it runs out of food. 71 .
Glaciers are a possible source of fresh water that has been overlooked until recently. __72___. It contains fresh water so much that it could sustain all the rivers of the world for 1,000years.
Huge glaciers that stretch over the shallow continental shelf give birth to icebergs throughout the year. ___73__. However, they are formed entirely on land, breaking off when glaciers spread over the sea. As they drift away from the polar region, icebergs sometimes move mysteriously in a direction opposite to the wind. Because they melt more slowly than smaller pieces of ice, icebergs have been known to drift as far north as 35 degrees south of the equator in the Atlantic Ocean. ___74___. The difficulty exists such as its rapid melting in warmer climates. ___75___.
A. Icebergs are not like sea ice, which is formed when the sea itself freezes.
B. Now it is being considered quite serious by many nations.
C. 7,659 trillion metric tons of ice are floating on the sea every year.
D. But the water they could provide would be far cheaper than that produced.
E. To move them to dry parts of the world would not be too difficult.
F. It is not a dream to get water from Icebergs.
G. Three-quarters of the Earth’s fresh water supply is still tied up in glacial ice.

Dear Robert,
How time flies! As you know, my college entrance exam is approaching, which also announces the end of this sort of pressing study life and the coming of my summer vacation.
I intend to have a meaningful summer vacation. First, I will learn to drive to get a driving license, which is a new activity for a high school graduate in China. I will have a good rest, reading some interesting and famous books to broaden my horizon. Meanwhile, I will also help my parents with some housework so that they can have some more time to relax. What’s more, I will devote some time to doing sports to keep me strong and healthy. If possible, I plan to do some part-time job to add my social experience. Such is the plan for my vacation.
Looking forward to hearing from you, telling me about your arrangements of vacation. Best wishes!
Yours,
Li Hua。
