9、an important, but up to now little appreciated, aspect of human evolution. In this article Professors Dennis Bramble and Daniel Lieberman suggest that being able to run is the necessary condition for the development of our species, which enabled us to come down from the trees. This challenges tradit

10、ional scientific thinking, which claims that the distinctive, upright body form of modern humans has come about as a result of the ability to walk, and that running is simply a byproduct of walking. Furthermore, humans have usually been regarded as poor runners compared with such animals as dogs, ho

11、rses or deer. However, this is only true if we consider running at high speed, especially over short distances. But when it comes to longdistance running, humans do astonishingly well. They can keep a steady pace for many kilometres, and their overall speed is at least the same as that of horses or

12、dogs.Bramble and Lieberman examined 26 physical features found in humans. One of the most interesting features is the nuchal ligament(项韧带). When we run, this ligament prevents our head from moving back and forth or from side to side. Therefore, we are able to run with steady heads, held high. The nu

13、chal ligament is not found in any other surviving primates, such as apes and monkeys. Then there are our Achilles tendons(跟腱) at the backs of our legs, which connect our calf muscles to our heel bonesand which have nothing to do with walking. When we run, these tendons behave like springs, helping t

14、o push us forward. Furthermore, we have low, wide shoulders virtually disconnected from our skulls(颅骨), a physical development which allows us to run more efficiently.But what evolutionary advantage is gained from being good longdistance runners? Perhaps it permitted early humans to obtain food more

15、 effectively. “What these features and facts appear to be telling us is that running evolved in order for our direct ancestors to compete with other meateating animals for access to the protein needed to grow the big brains that we enjoy today, ” says Lieberman. Some scientists put forward the theor

16、y that early humans chased animals for great distances in order to exhaust them before killing them. “Research on the history of humans ability to move has traditionally been controversial, ” says Lieberman. “At the very least, I believe this theory will motivate many researchers to reevaluate and f

17、urther investigate how humans learned to run and walk and why we are built the way we are.” 本文为应用文， 主要介绍了发表在自然杂志上有关人类进化的新研究成果。1In Paragraph 1, what do the two professors suggest about humans ability to run?AIt is an evolutionary byproduct of walking.BIt helps to form peoples ability to climb trees.C

18、It has played an important role in human evolution.DIt has been adequately studied by scientists before.解析 C推理判断题。根据第一段第二句可推知， 两个教授关于人类能跑的论述表明了跑在人类进化中起着关键性作用， 故选C项。2What can we infer from the physical characteristics examined by the professors?AAchilles tendons assist people to walk long distances.B

19、The human skull helps people to run more efficiently.CPeoples shoulders allow them to look from side to side.DThe nuchal ligament enables people to hold their head steady.解析 D推理判断题。根据第二段第三、四句可推知， 项韧带让人类在跑的时候头部稳定， 不会来回左右摇摆， 故选D项。3According to Paragraph 3, scientists believe that early humans _.Aalway

Water. Air. Shelter. All living things have

22、 these basic needs.On Earth, we know where to find them. In space, these items usually have to be carried from Earth. So it would be impossible to carry so many supplies from Earth. _1_Cleaning and recycling the air is a big concern for NASA scientists as we plan for longer trips in space. In space

23、and on Earth, human beings breathe out carbon dioxide(CO2). So air inside the spacecraft must be “cleaned” to remove extra carbon dioxide in order to make it safe for the astronauts. Some of the extra carbon dioxide is released into outer space. _2_ Backup systems are in place to ensure that extra c

24、arbon dioxide isnt trapped in an astronauts living space.Currently, each astronaut aboard the International Space Station uses about 3 gallons of water daily. An astronaut on an extended stay on the ISS could use up to 10.6 tons of water per year. _3_Currently, all food astronauts need during their

25、mission is carried into space. To avoid carrying such large amounts of food, scientists are working on ways to grow or “create” that food. _4_ They may also help recycle carbon dioxide into oxygen.A human beings basic needs will not change whether he lives on Earth or travels to Mars. _5_ NASA scien

26、tists are working to find new ways to supply all that well need for longduration space flights.APlants may be a food source.BHow do astronauts find water in space?CWater will have to be recycled in space.DRecycling is one solution to this problem.EThey must find ways to settle the problem.FWhat will

27、 change is how we meet these needs.GOxygen may be removed and used from some of the carbon dioxide.本文为说明文。食物、空气、水、居所是我们生存的必需品， 这些东西在地球上随处可见， 但是宇航员无法带那么多的物品到太空， 他们是如何解决这一问题的呢？1解析 D总分关系。上文谈到“宇航员无法带那么多的物品到太空”可知， 所填的句子应该提供解决的办法， D项(回收利用就是解决这个问题的一种方法)符合语境， 故选D项。2解析 G顺承关系。上文提到二氧化碳， 下文也提到二氧化碳， G项(一些二氧化碳中的氧

28、气可以被提取出来使用)和上下文语境一致， 故选G项。3解析 C递进关系。本段谈论的是宇航员使用的水， 水也需要回收利用， 故选C项。4解析 A诠释关系。上文提到科学家研究解决太空的食物问题， 根据grow和下文中的They may also help recycle carbon dioxide into oxygen可知， A项符合语境， 故选A项。5解析 F递进关系。上文提到人的基本需求是不会变的， 下文说美国宇航局的科学家们正在寻找新的方法， 由此可知， 所填的句子应为衔接上下文的句子， F项符合语境， 故选F项。.短文改错 is known to all that we student

29、s of today have to fix our attention on our lessons, so we know of society.

31、t 众所周知， it是形式主语， 真正的主语为that引导的主语从句。 解析 few指代可数名词， little指代不可数名词， 根据句意“对于社会了解的很少”可知， 了解的内容应为不可数， 故用little。 解析 本句中take a parttime job作主语， 故用动名词形式。 解析 What引导主语从句， 在从句中充当learned的宾语， 但that引导主语从句， 不充当成分。 解析 have an impact on对有影响。 解析 progress进步， 为不可数名词。 解析 bothand 既又。 解析 beside在旁边；besides除之外(还有), 此处表示“除之外(还有)”。 解析 情态动词may后接动词原形。 解析 if possible相当于 if it is possible, 如果有可能。
