B
She is one of mankind’s oldest ancestors and is more than three million years old. New analysis of the arm bones of Lucy, an early hominid, suggests she was a tree climber. Lucy’s remains were uncovered in Ethiopia in the 1970s, with the 3.18 million-year-old skeleton(骨骼)being the most complete of any upright, walking human ancestor. Since she was discovered, researchers have debated whether she spent her life in the trees or spent time walking on the plains as well.
The new evidence from scans of her arm bones proves she spent time climbing and used her arms to pull herself up. The scans were compared with cross sections of humans and chimpanzees, which spend a mixture of time in trees and walking on all fours on the ground. They found that the arm bones were more heavily built, similar to those of chimps, while her lower limbs(下肢)would have meant she walked less efficiently than modern humans. Professor John Kappelman, atUniversityofTexas, believes the advantage of his study was that it focused on characteristics that reflect actual behavior during life, suggesting that evenwhen Lucy walked upright, she may have done so less efficiently than modern humans, limiting her ability to walk long distances on the ground.
Previous studies suggested that Lucy was just 4 feet tall and weighed just 65 pounds. Combining the new data paints a picture of an ancestor who may have spent a great amount of her time in trees. It also expands on
evidence from earlier this year which claimed that Lucy may have died from a fall, most likely from a tree. The evidence suggests Lucy may have spent time on the ground, returning to the safety of the trees for food and to sleep, to avoid her enemies.
4. What did the researchers argue about after Lucy was discovered?
A. Where she lived.
B. How long she lived.
C. What she ate.
D. How she worked.
5. How could people tell Lucy spent time climbing?
A. By her walking style.
B. By her heavily built arm bones.
C. By her strong lower limbs.
D. By her large cross sections.
6. When Lucy walked, she may________.
A. have walked with bigger steps
B. have walked at a faster speed
C. have walked more efficiently than us
D. have walked a shorter distance than us
7. What is the main idea of the last paragraph?
A. Guesses about Lucy’s characteristics.
B. Some evidence of Lucy’s health.
C. The safety of Lucy.
D. The ancestor of Lucy.
C
Yu Chenrui, 29, is a maker of automata (机关人偶) in Chengdu, Sichuan province. Automata are built to look like humans or animals and give the illusion (错觉) of being able to move ontheir own, “The art form amazes me, because it combines various skills, from storytelling to mechanics, and the pieces are built with a sense of humor,” Yu says. His creations have caught the attention of well-known artists and his fancy pieces of art have attracted collectors worldwide.
Interested in handcrafts as a boy, Yu first encountered automata designed by Japanese artist Kazuaki at an exhibition in 2015 when he studied at the Communication University of China in Beijing. “It was like meeting a like-minded friend, ” Yu says, recalling the moment. As an art and design major, he began to learn the craft by himself and, with the support of his tutor, he kept studying and examining automata in school.
When he graduated in 2016, Yu landed a job at an advertising agency in Beijing. He stayed on at the company for three years because, at that time, he was not sure that he could make a living out of his hobby. While working as a designer Yu kept exploring and advancing his skills in wood carving and mechanics. Eventually, despite the
job’s good salary, it was not enough to make up for not following his true passion. Finally, in 2018, Yu quit his job and returned to Chengdu to open his automata workshop.
To keep himself occupied while running his workshop, he planted blueberries, raspberries and cherries. He watered, weeded and added fertilizer (肥料) every day. “Daily routines helped me calm down and inspire my creativity, which resulted in an automaton called To Observe the Autumn,” Yu says.
Over time, Yu’s reputation grew and his business flourished (兴旺). Many of Yu’s creations are built with a dash of wisdom, a sprinkle of humor and are inspired by observations of real life. Yu knows that there are many more creative ideas waiting to be expressed. “It feels quite good to be fully devoted to automata creation and I am still searching for myself.”
8. What can we learn from the first paragraph?
A. Yu is equipped with various skills.
B. Yu is a person full of sense of humor.
C Yu is now gaining recognition worldwide.
D. Yu is following the latest trend in handcraft.
9. Why did Yu quit his job in Beijing?
A. He couldn't make a living out of it.
B. He wanted to pursue his own dream.
C. He missed his family in Chengdu.
D. He thought he had a lot experience.
10. According to Yu, what contributes to his creativity as an automata artist?
A. The fruits he grows.
B. Success of his business.
C. His devotion to the job.
D. Observation from daily life.
11. Which of the following can best describe Yu’s story?
A. There is no end to learning.
B. Great hopes make great man.
C. Actions speak louder than words.
D. Experience is the mother of wisdom.
D
UK physicist Isaac Newton once said, ''Nature is pleased with simplicity and nature is no dummy (傻子). '' Indeed, Mother Nature can provide almost everything human beings need if we follow her rules. But if we break the rules, she is likely to be cruel andlash out at us.
The outbreak of the novel coronavirus pneumonia (新型冠状病毒肺炎, NCP) in China and some other
countries at the beginning of this year is an example. According to Xinhua News Agency, the new coronavirus is similar to a virus found in a bat in 2017 and probably has an intermediate host (中间宿主). It's believed that the virus originated from the Huanan Seafood Market in Wuhan, Hubei province, where live wild animals were sold.
The Wall Street Journal reported that Dr Peter Daszak, president of the US-based health organization EcoHealth Alliance, said, ''This outbreak is a lesson for us. On a global scale, human population density, wildlife diversity, and land use change are what drive new pandemics (流行病). ''
In ancient times, people needed to rely on nature to survive so they held it in awe (敬畏). For example, the American Indians believed that humans are a part of nature and nature is a part of humans. Chinese ancients always pursued the harmony between nature and human beings.
However, as human beings master more knowledge and make more advanced tools, people try to change and even conquer nature. They use more land to make buildings, genetically modify (改变) plants, capture some wild and rare animals to suit their own needs. In this process, humans gradually lose contact with nature and even throw it out of balance. For example, cutting a large number of forests means carbon dioxide must build up in the atmosphere and it contributes to global warming.
Although we don't know for sure what first caused the NCP outbreak, Brian Lamacraft at Medium said it's time for people to ''reflect on our relationship with our planet'' and ''reconnect with this world and everything that we've been given''. After all, according to US poet Gary Snyder, ''Nature is not the place to visit. It's our home. ''
12. What does the phrase ''lash out at'' in Paragraph 1 probably mean?
A. punish
B. control
C. test
D. challenge
13. What lesson did Daszak think human beings should learn from the NCP outbreak?
A. Bats are one of the most dangerous wild animals.
B. It's impossible to prevent new pandemics globally.
C. We should stop the wildlife trade around the world.
D. Humans should live peacefully with nature.
14. What is the main idea of Paragraph 5?
A. How human beings become their own masters.
B. How human activities cause global warming.
C. How human beings break the balance of nature.
D. How humans use technology to improve their lives.
15. What is the author's purpose in writing this article?
A. To reflect on the NCP outbreak.
B. To explain what led to the NCP outbreak.
C. To describe experts' predictions on new pandemics.
D. To compare ancient and modern attitudes toward nature.
