话题40 考古发现（Unit 5 Meeting your ancestors）Archeologists are like detectives of the past, unearthing clues about past events. Archeology is the reconstruction of past cultures through their material remains and the study of how cultures change over time.“Culture” is not an easy term to define, but it can be thought of as every aspect of a group of people, including the clothing they wear, the language they speak, and the items they use for every day life. The primary source of information used by archeologists is “artifacts”. Artifacts are objects that people create or modify.汉语大意：考古学家像过去事件的侦探，出土过去事件的线索。
考古学通过他们材料的残留以及对文化是如何随时间变化的研究重建过去。
“ 文化”不是一个简单的术语定义，而是可以被认为是一群人的各个方面，包括他们的衣着，他们说的语言，和他们每日使用的物品。
考古学家所利用的信息的基本来源是“文物”。
文物是人们创建或修改的东西。

In The Future of Life, he takes us on a tour of the world's natural resources. How are they used? What has been lost? What remains and is it able to continue with the present speed of use? Wilson also points out the need to understand fully the biodiversity(生物多样性)of our earth.Wilson begins with an open letter to the pioneer in environment protection, Henry David Thoreau. He compares today's Walden Pond with that of Thoreau's day. Wilson will use such comparisons for the rest of the book. The problem is clear: man has done great damage to his home over the years.Can the earth, with human help, be made to return to biodiversity levels that will be able to support us in the future?Biodiversity, Wilson argues, is the key to settling many problems the earth faces today. Even our agricultural crops can gain advantages from it. A mere hundred species(物种) are the basis of our food supply, of which but twenty carry the load. Wilson suggests changing this situation by looking into ten thousand species that could be made use of, which will be a way to reduce the clearing of the natural homes of plants and animals to enlarge farming areas.At the end of the book, Wilson discusses the importance of human values in considering the environment. If you are to continue to live on the earth, you may as well read and act on the ideas in this book.16．What is the purpose of writing the book?A．To call people on to protect the environment.B．To explore the nature.C．To make good use of the natural resource.D．To call on people to explore, make good use of and protect the earth.17．We learn from the text that Wilson cares most about ________.A．the environment for plantsB．the biodiversity of our earthC．the waste of natural resourcesD．the importance of human values18．How many species are most important to our present food supply?A．Twenty.B．Eighty.C．One hundred.D．Ten thousand.19．Wilson suggests that one way to keep biodiversity is to ________.A．learn how to farm scientificallyB．build homes for some dying speciesC．make it clear what to eatD．use more species20．We can infer that the text is ________.A．a description of natural resourcesB．a research reportC．a book reviewD．an introduction to a scientistB[2011·广东卷]In the animal kingdom, weakness can bring about aggression in other animals.This sometimes happens with humans also. But I have found that my weakness brings out the kindness in people.I see it every day when people hold doors for me, pour cream into my coffee, or help me to put on my coat. And I have discovered that it makes them happy.From my wheelchair experience, I see the best in people, but sometimes I feel sad because those who appear independent miss the kindness I see daily. They don't get to see this soft side of others.Often, we try every way possible to avoid showing our weakness, which includes a lot of pretending. But only when we stop pretending we're brave or strong do we allow people to show the kindness that's in them.Last month, when I was driving home on a busy highway, I began to feel unwell and drove more slowly than usual. People behind me began to get impatient and angry, with some speeding up alongside me, horning (按喇叭) or even shouting at me. At that moment，I decided to do something I had never done in twenty－four years of driving. I put on the car flashlights and drove on at a really low speed.No more angry shouts and no more horns!When I put on my flashlights, I was saying to the other drivers, “I have a problem here.I am weak and doing the best I can.” And everyone understood. Several times, I saw drivers who wanted to pass. They couldn't get around me because of the stream of passing traffic. But instead of getting impatient and angry, they waited, knowing the driver in front of them was in some way weak.Sometimes situations call for us to act strong and brave even when we don't feel that way. But those are few and far between. More often, it would be better if we don't pretend we feel strong when we feel weak or pretend that we're brave when we're scared.21．The author has discovered that people will feel happy when ________.A．they offer their helpB．they receive others' helpC．they feel others' kindnessD．they show their weakness22．The author feels sad sometimes because ________.A．he has a soft heartB．he relies much on othersC．some people pretend to be kindD．some people fail to see the kindness in others23．What did the other drivers do when they saw the flashlights?A．They speeded up to pass.B．They waited with patience.C．They tried their best to help.D．They put on their flashlights too.24．In this passage, the author advises us to ________.A．handle problems by ourselvesB．accept help from othersC．admit our weaknessD．show our bravery25．Which of the following is the best title of this passage?A．A Wheelchair Experience.B．Weakness and Kindness.C．Weakness and Strength.D．A Driving Experience.答案课时作业(四十)Ⅰ.1.D名词辨析。

In 1879, Oxford University in England asked Prof. James Murray to serve as editor for what was to be the most ambitious dictionary in the history of the English language. It would include every English word possible and would give not only the definition but also the history of the word and quotations(引文)showing how it was used.This was a huge task, so Murray had to find volunteers from Britain, the United States, and the British colonies to search every newspaper, magazine, and book ever written in English. Hundreds of volunteers responded, including William Chester Minor. Dr. Minor was an American surgeon who had served in the Civil War and was now living in England. He gave his address as “Broadmoor, Crowthorne, Berkshire，” 50 miles from Oxford.Minor joined the army of volunteers sending words and quotations to Murray. Over the next 17 years, he became one of the staff's most valued contributors.But he was also a mystery. In spite of many invitations, he would always decline to visit Oxford. So in 1897, Murray finally decided to travel to Crowthorne himself. When he arrive d, he found Minor locked in a booklined cell at the Broadmoor Asylum(神经病院)for the Criminally Insane.Murray and Minor became friends, sharing their love of words. Minor continuedcontributing to the dictionary, sending in more than 10，000 submissions in 20 years. Murray continued to visit Minor regularly, sometimes taking walks with him around the asylum grounds.In 1910, Minor left Broadmoor for an asylum in his native America. Murray was at the port to wave goodbye to his remarkable friend.Minor died in 1920, seven years before the first edition of the Oxford English Dictionary was completed.

话题40 考古发现（Unit 5 Meeting your ancestors）Archeologists are like detectives of the past, unearthing clues about past events. Archeology is the reconstruction of past cultures through their material remains and the study of how cultures change over time.“Culture” is not an easy term to define, but it can be thought of as every aspect of a group of people, including the clothing they wear, the language they speak, and the items they use for every day life. The primary source of information used by archeologists is “artifacts”. Artifacts are objects that people create or modify.汉语大意：考古学家像过去事件的侦探，出土过去事件的线索。
考古学通过他们材料的残留以及对文化是如何随时间变化的研究重建过去。
“ 文化”不是一个简单的术语定义，而是可以被认为是一群人的各个方面，包括他们的衣着，他们说的语言，和他们每日使用的物品。
