21、每题所给的四个选项(A, B, C 和D)中, 选出最佳选项。Human remains of ancient settlements will be reburied and lost to science under a law that threatens research into the history of humans in Britain, a group of leading archaeologists(考古学家) says. In a letter addressed to the justice secretary, Ken Clarke, 40 archaeologi

22、sts write of their “deep and widespread concern” about the issue. It centers on the law introduced by the Ministry of Justice in 2008 which requires all human remains unearthed in England and Wales to be reburied within two years, regardless of their age. The decision means scientists have too littl

23、e time to study bones and other human remains of national and cultural significance.“Your current requirement that all archaeologically unearthed human remains should be reburied, whether after a standard period of two years or further special extension, is contrary to basic principles of archaeolog

24、ical and scientific research and of museum practice,” they write.The law applies to any pieces of bone uncovered at around 400 dig sites, including the remains of 60 or so bodies found at Stonehenge in 2008 that date back to 3,000 BC. Archaeologists have been granted a temporary extension to give th

25、em more time, but eventually the bones will have to be returned to the ground.The arrangements may result in the waste of future discoveries at sites such as Happisburgh in Norfolk, where digging is continuing after the discovery of stone tools made by early humans 950,000 years ago. If human remain

26、s were found at Happisburgh, they would be the oldest in northern Europe and the first indication of what this species was. Under the current practice of the law those remains would have to be reburied and effectively destroyed.Before 2008, guidelines allowed for the proper preservation and study of

27、 bones of sufficient age and historical interest, while the Burial Act 1857 applied to more recent remains. The Ministry of Justice assured archaeologists two years ago that the law was temporary, but has so far failed to revise it. Mike Parker Pearson, an archaeologist at Sheffield University, said

28、: “Archaeologists have been extremely patient because we were led to believe the ministry was sorting out this problem, but we feel that we cannot wait any longer.”The ministry has no guidelines on where or how remains should be reburied, or on what records should be kept. 47. According to the passa

29、ge, scientists are unhappy with the law mainly because _.A. it is only a temporary measure on the human remainsB. it is unreasonable and thus destructive to scientific researchC. it was introduced by the government without their knowledgeD. it is vague about where and how to rebury human remains48.

30、Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A. Temporary extension of two years will guarantee scientists enough time.B. Human remains of the oldest species were dug out at Happisburgh.C. Human remains will have to be reburied despite the extension of time.D. Scientists have b

31、een warned that the law can hardly be changed.49. What can be inferred about the British law governing human remains?A. The Ministry of Justice did not intend it to protect human remains.B. The Burial Act 1857 only applied to remains uncovered before 1857.C. The law on human remains hasnt changed in

32、 recent decades.D. The Ministry of Justice has not done enough about the law.50. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A. New discoveries should be reburied, the government demands.B. Research time should be extended, scientists require.C. Law on human remains needs thorough

41、只有人类才会感染的疾病其实就是来自动物。国家要制定严格的法律，以防止动物把疾病传播给人类。1D根据We have met the enemy, and he is ours. We bought him at a pet shop. When monkeypox, a disease usually found in the African rain forest, suddenly turns up in children in the American Midwest, its hard not to wonder if the disease that comes from foreig

42、n animals is homing in on human beings.可推断，从宠物商店购买的动物身上携带疾病。2D根据A strange illness killed Isaksens pets, and she now thinks that keeping foreign pets is a bad idea.“I dont think its fair to have them as pets when we have such a limited knowledge of them，”可判断。3B根据上文，猴痘是一种从非洲的动物身上传播到人类身上的疾病，紧接着作者说这种没有经

43、过严格控制的法律需要改变。最后又以猴痘为例，由此可判断“the wakeup call”表示“一种警示”。4A根据We know very little about these new diseases. A new bug (病毒) may be kind at first. But it may develop into something harmful.可知新的病毒会转化成有害的东西，最后导致人与人的传播，因此我们必须与新的疾病作斗争。5C最后一段大意：我们必须改变不检疫而引进野生动物的规定，这样才能避免疾病的传播。阅读理解。Mark Twain has been called the

44、 inventor of the American novel.And he surely deserves additional praise：the man who popularized the clever literary attack on racism.I say clever because antislavery fiction had been the important part of the literature in the years before the Civil War.H.B.Stowes Uncle Toms Cabin is only the most

45、famous example.These early stories dealt directly with slavery.With minor exceptions, Twain planted his attacks on slavery and prejudice into tales that were on the surface about something else entirely.He drew his readers into the argument by drawing them into the story.Again and again，in the postw

46、ar years，Twain seemed forced to deal with the challenge of race.Consider the most controversial, at least today, of Twains novels, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.Only a few books have been kicked off the shelves as often as Huckleberry Finn，Twains most widely read tale.Once upon a time, people hated

47、 the book because it struck them as rude. Twain himself wrote that those who banned the book considered the novel “trash and suitable only for the slums(贫民窟)”More recently the book has been attacked because of the character Jim，the escaped slave，and many occurences of the word nigger.(The term Nigge

48、r Jim，for which the novel is often severely criticized，never appears in it.)But the attacks were and are sillyand miss the point.The novel is strongly antislavery.Jims search through the slave states for the family from whom he has been forcibly parted is heroic.As JChadwick has pointed out, the cha

49、racter of Jim was a first in American fictiona recognition that the slave had two personalities, “the voice of survival within a white slave culture and the voice of the individual：Jim, the father and the man.”There is much more.Twains mystery novel Puddnhead Wilson stood as a challenge to the racia

50、l beliefs of even many of the liberals of his day.Written at a time when the accepted wisdom held Negroes to be inferior(低等的)to whites，especially in intelligence，Twains tale centered in part around two babies switched at birth.A slave gave birth to her masters baby and，for fear that the child should

51、 be sold South, switched him for the masters baby by his wife.The slaves lightskinned child was taken to be white and grew up with both the attitudes and the education of the slaveholding class.The masters wifes baby was taken for black and grew up with the attitudes and intonations of the slave.The

52、 point was difficult to miss：nurture(养育)，not nature，was the key to social status.The features of the black man that provided the stuff of prejudicemanner of speech，for examplewere, to Twain, indicative of nothing other than the conditioning that slavery forced on its victims.Twains racial tone was n

53、ot perfect.One is left uneasy，for example，by the lengthy passage in his autobiography(自传)about how much he loved what were called “nigger shows” in his youthmostly with white men performing in blackfaceand his delight in getting his mother to laugh at them.Yet there is no reason to think Twain saw t

54、he shows as representing reality.His frequent attacks on slavery and prejudice suggest his keen awareness that they did not.Was Twain a racist？Asking the question in the 21st century is as wise as asking the same of Lincoln.If we read the words and attitudes of the past through the “wisdom” of the c

55、onsidered moral judgments of the present，we will find nothing but error.Lincoln，who believed the black man the inferior of the white, fought and won a war to free him.And Twain, raised in a slave state, briefly a soldier，and inventor of Jim，may have done more to anger the nation over racial injustic

56、e and awaken its collective conscience than any other novelist in the past century.65How do Twains novels on slavery differ from Stowes?ATwain was more willing to deal with racism.BTwains attack on racism was much less open.CTwains themes seemed to agree with plots.DTwain was openly concerned with r

57、acism.66Recent criticism of Adventures of Huckleberry Finn arose partly from its _Atarget readers at the bottomBantislavery attitudeCrather impolite languageDfrequent use of “nigger”67What best proves Twains antislavery stand according to the author?AJims search for his family was described in detai

58、l.BThe slaves voice was first heard in American novels.CJim grew up into a man and a father in the white culture.DTwain suspected that the slaves were less intelligent.68The story of two babies switched mainly indicates that _Aslaves were forced to give up their babies to their mastersBslaves babies

61、以及它受到不同人士的批评情况。65B推理判断题。由第二段的“Twain planted his attacks on slavery and prejudice into tales that were on the surface about something else entirely.”可知，马克吐温把对奴隶制和偏见的攻击融在故事中，隐晦地表达。而早期小说是直接攻击方式(dealt directly with slavery)，因此B项说他的小说对种族主义制度的攻击非常不明显是恰当的。A项文章没有提及；C项与题干无关，答非所问；D项文章没有提及。66D推理判断题。根据关键词Advent

62、ures of Huckleberry Finn定位到第三段。由“More recently the book has been attacked because of many occurences of the word nigger.”可知答案。A项中的target readers错误，文章没有说到；B项不符合文意；C项中的impolite language范围过广，文章只是说到批评者对nigger一词的出现感到不满。67C细节理解题。由第四段的末句“the character of Jim was a first in American fictiona recognition tha

63、t the slave had two personalities”可知答案。A项中的in detail文章没有提及；B项中的The slaves voice与文章的the character of Jim不一致；D项文章没有提及。68C推理判断题。由第六段可知，举这个例子是为了说明奴隶的社会地位是由生活环境决定的，而不是人的自然本性。69D词义猜测题。由画线词所在句的前面一句可知：没有理由认为马克吐温把这些表演当作表现现实，后句紧接着解释：马克吐温对奴隶制和偏见的不断攻击说明了他敏锐的意识，而这些是shows所没有表达出来的，可见they应该就是指代shows。70A作者意图题。末段首先提出一个疑问，然后通过论据否定了这个观点，最后总结了一下自己的观点：And Twainmay have done more to anger the nation over racial injustice than any other novelist in the past century，可见作者要反驳的是末段首句所表达的疑问，只有A项符合，其他各项只是对具体例子的说明。
