Clues at Ancient Lake Site Reveal Earliest Known Cooked Meal

Scientists have found the earliest known evidence of cooking at an archaeological site in Israel. The discovery has suggested prehistoric humans were able to deliberately make fires to cook food at least 780,000 years ago.

The detailed study of fish teeth unearthed at the Gesher Benot Ya'aqov site revealed that some of our early ancestors一most likely Homo erectus (直立猿人) believed to be the first hominin(古人族) 21_______(migrate) outside Africa were able to cook fish, said Dr. Irit Zohar, a researcher at Tel Aviv University's Steinhardt Museum of Natural History.

No human remains 22_______ (find) at the site before, but the stone tools matched 23_______ found at Homo erectus sites across Africa, Zohar said. She said the lake would have been shallow, and it might have been easy to catch large fish like the extinct Luciobarbus longiceps, which 24_______ grow up to 6.5 feet (2 meters), by hand.

This is an incredibly important discovery 25_______ the shift to eating cooked meals meant humans spent less energy on the intensive work of searching for and digesting raw food, freeing up 26_______ (much) time to develop new social and behavioral systems.

“Diet has had a big impact on the evolution of our species. It has been suggested 27_______ the consumption of meat in particular contributed to the increase in relative brain size of our early Homo ancestors一but they risked 28_______ (contract) diseases while consuming the uncooked meat which was likely to be contaminated by infective bacteria," Linscott said.

“Cooking, however, kills bacteria and increases the energetic value of meat, 29_______ (create) a new reliable food source for early hominins. Understanding when this happened is therefore a topic of great interest, because it might help to explain 30_______ our hominin ancestors evolved the way in which they did."

Section B

Directions: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need.

Ball-Rolling Bumble Bees Just W anna Have Fun

Playtime isn't just for children. Lab-kept bumble bees roll small wooden balls around for no 31______ purpose other than fun, a new study reveals. It supports evidence that bees experience pleasure, 32______ the importance of protecting them in the wild and treating them well in their natural habitats.

“It is super cool," says Elizabeth Tibbetts, an evolutionary biologist at the University of Michigan. “We usually think about insects as being so different that they lack complex behaviors." But not everyone is convinced the behavior is in fact play.

Lars Chittka, a behavioral ecologist at Queen Mary University of London, and his colleagues 33______ came across the new evidence. The team was studying how bumble bees learn complex behaviors from their comrades by training the insects to move wooden balls to specific locations. If a bee moved a ball to the right place, it got a sugary 34______. The researchers noticed that some bees moved the balls even when no reward was offered. They just seemed to like going back to them and playing around with them and rolling them all over the place. The careful design of the experiments has convinced him the bees are indeed 35______ in play.

Because play implies a capacity to experience emotions, documenting it in insects could have 36______ implications. Insects are 37______ being raised for animal feed, and there are no regulations governing their welfare. Honey bees are also known to become stressed and more 38______ to disease and bee communities collapse when industrialized beekeepers transport them long distances on trucks to 39______ and vast fields without diverse flowers nearby, Chittka says. The researchers hope their findings might also 40______ greater fellow feeling for-and protection of一wild insects.

III. Reading Comprehension

Section A

Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.

If people actually embrace the concept of stress, it can make them stronger, smarter and happier, a Stanford expert says.

One reason why how you think about stress matters is that it changes how you 41______ stress. Viewing stress as 42______ leads people to cope in ways that are less helpful, whether it's dragging your feet to avoid stress, or imagining worst-case scenes.

43______, viewing stress more positively seems to encourage people to cope in ways that help them thrive, whether it's tackling the source of stress, 44______ social support or finding meaning in it.

Choosing to see the upside of stress isn't about_ 45_ the fact that stress can be harmful. It's about trying to balance your mindset so that you feel less overwhelmed and 46______ about the fact that your life is stressful. Psychologists have found that the ability to embrace stress requires a high 47______ for uncertainty. You have to be able to understand that two 48______ opposite things can be true at the same time. It can be true that 49______ something stressful can make you sick or depressed, and it can also be true that the same stressful experience can ultimately make you stronger, more compassionate and more resilient over time.

Stress is most likely to be harmful when the following conditions are 50______: it feels against your will, out of your control and utterly lacking in meaning. If you can 51______ any of these conditions -by finding some meaning in it - you can reduce the harmful effects of stress.

Rather than being a sign that something is wrong with your life, feeling stressed can be a(n) 52______ of how engaged you are in activities and relationships that are personally meaningful.

One simple mindset reset that can help us face and find the good in the stress in our lives is to view it as a(n) to learn and grow. The ability to learn from stress is 54______ into the basic biology of the stress response. This is why putting people through practice stress is a key 55______ technique for NASA astronauts, emergency responders, elite athletes and others who have to thrive under high levels of stress.

Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.

(A)

Arens, a driver of a delivery company, was making his rounds near a pond in Bozeman, Montana, when he heard an unearthly sound.

It was December 2018, and about 15 feet from the frozen banks was the source of that cry - half-submerged brown-and-white wirehaired dog, struggling to hold on to a thin layer of ice.

How she got there no one knows, but an elderly man was already on the scene, determined to save her. He' 'd entered the pond in a rowboat and was hacking a way at the ice with a rock to create a path to the dog.

It was slow going, and Arens, 44, thought he stood a better chance. He took off his clothes, even though the temperature was -30C, and jumped into the rowboat.

His heart beating fast, Arens slid closer to the dog and used the other man's rock to smash away at the ice. He gave himself a strong pull and slipped off the boat, crashing into 16 feet of freezing water. He resurfaced in time to see the dog going under. Using nervous energy to keep warm, he swam about five feet toward her, grabbed hold of her collar, and pulled her to the ice. He then boosted the dog into the boat and slid it back to the shore, where anxious bystanders carried the dog to the home of the rowboat owner.

Once in the house himself, Arens jumped into a warm shower with the dog until they both felt warmer.

A few more minutes in the pond, the vet (兽医) told Arens, and she would have likely suffered heart failure.

The next day, Arens was back working in the same neighborhood when the dog's owner came over to thank him for saving Sadie.

Arens says, “That special delivery was the highlight of my career."

D. He was a faster swimmer.

58. Which of the following statements is true about the incident?

A. After saving the dog, Arens carried her home.

B. Arens jumped into the river on seeing the dog.

C. The dog was hunting when she fell into the water.

D. Without Aren's help, the dog could hardly survive.

59. What is the main idea of the passage?

B. A special delivery of a driver.

(C)

A database that follows the world's fossil fuel production, reserves, and release of carbon was launched on Monday. The launch comes out at the same time as two important climate talks happening at the international level. One is the climate talks at the United Nation's General Assembly in New York which began on September 13. The other is COP27 in Sharm EI Skeikh which began in November. It really matters to environmental sustainability.

The database is called The Global Registry of Fossil Fuels. It includes data from over 50,000 oil, gas, and coal fields in 89 countries. That covers 75 percent of the world's reserves, production, and release of carbon into the atmosphere. And it is available for public use, a first for a collection of this size.

Until now, there has been private data available for purchase, and research of the world's fossil fuel usage and reserves. The International Energy Agency also keeps public data on oil, gas, and coal. But it centers on the demand for those fossil fuels. This new database, however, looks at what is yet to be burned. The information could help environmental groups to pressure leaders for stronger policies reducing the amount of carbon they release.

The database was developed by Carbon Tracker. It is a nonprofit organization that researches changes in energy use and their effects on financial markets. Global Energy Monitor also helped develop the database. It is an organization that follows different energy projects around the world.

Mark Campanale, a founder of Carbon Tracker, said he hopes the database will empower groups to hold governments accountable. He said that civil groups need to have more information on what governments are planning to do in terms of giving permits for coal, oil, and gas. He said they need to, “... actually begin to challenge this permitting process." He thought that it is very important that the world should reduce carbon output.

In the research, Carbon Tracker found that the United States and Russia still have enough underground and unused fossil fuel to go over the world's remaining amount of carbon budget. The carbon budget is the point at which the world will go over the set amount of 1.5 degrees Celsius of warming.

Campanale said investors should be holding the world's largest fossil fuel companies responsible when they approve new fuel mining projects. Campanale said the hope is that the investment community will use the data to begin to challenge the investment plans of companies which still plan to expand oil, gas, and coal projects. “We already have enough extractable fossil fuels to cook the planet. We can't afford to use them all - or almost any of them at this point." he added.

63. The Global Registry of Fossil Fuels is special compared with other similar data available because ________.

A. it aims at reducing the amount of carbon

B. it records the world's demand for fossil fuel

C. it keeps data on fossil fuel public to the world

D. it centers on the remaining amount of fossil fuel

64. According to the passage, ________ is a leading developer of the new database launched on Monday.

A. the United Nation's General Assembly

B. the International Energy Agency

C. Carbon Tracker

D. Global Energy Monitor

65. According to the passage, which of the following does Mark Campanale most probably suggest?

A. There are still enough fossil fuel to mine both in the United States and Russia.

B. The community should question companies' planning to mine coal, oil and gas.

C. The new database is developed to help investment groups challenge plans for mining.

D. The government should rely on the new database to prevent mining plan of companies.

66. What's the writer 's attitude towards the launch of the new database?

A. Positive.

B. Flexible.

C. Critical.

D. Ironical.

Why gratitude is good for you

Gratitude is more than just saying “thank you" to someone who has helped us or given us a gift. 67______ And this positive emotion can be good for our health - our emotional and physical health, as well as the health of our relationships.

Let's start by looking at the emotional or mental health benefits of expressing gratitude. There have been many studies, as described in a 2018 paper from the Greater Good Science Center titled “The Science of Gratitude", showing that writing a gratitude letter to another person or writing in a gratitude journal, if done regularly, improves mental health. 68______ But even if we don't share our writing with anyone, like in a journal, the act of completing the exercise alone makes us happier and more satisfied with life. And this gets better with time. As we are essentially training our brain to be more in tune with noticing the positive, after several weeks or months, this becomes more intuitive. And so, the more we express gratitude, the more positive we feel.

69______ There are studies linking a gratitude practice to better sleep quality, better eating habits, and reduced infection in people who have had heart problems. So gratitude is clearly good for us, but is it also good for the people in our lives?

The simple answer is “yes”". When shared- spoken or written-gratitude is about feeling valued and helping others feel valued too. 70______ And that's on top of all the other ways gratitude is clearly good for us. Maybe we should all stop counting sheep or counting calories and start counting our blessings instead?

IV. Summary Writing

Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.

71. Want to join the online fitness program?

Online training is one of the fastest growing section of the fitness industry. A 2015 study found that more than half of all smartphone users had downloaded a fitness or health app. If you're considering joining the online fitness community, consider these benefits and drawbacks.

There are many reasons that online training may work for you. As long as you have access to pre-downloaded videos or a WiFi connection for streaming videos, you can work out wherever you are. Besides, compared with similar offline programs, most online fitness programs range in cost between $10 and $20 per month. This is due in part to the wider audience and the greater opportunity to sell programs to more people.

All this growth is incredibly positive-it provides health and fitness resources to the general consumer wherever they happen to be, without requiring access to a gym or fitness studio. But it's not without problems.

The first thing to think about when considering an online fitness program is “know yourself." If you struggle with self-motivation, you don't like exercising at home, and you prefer a social workout environment, online fitness may not be for you. Not to mention the fact that very few online fitness programs enable the instructor to see you, check your form, and offer modifications or corrections based on your performance. This means you might perform exercises incorrectly, or even unsafely, without knowing it, which is particularly concerning for beginners and those recovering from injuries, as they' re more likely to perform exercises incorrectly.

Therefore, like any training format, there are pros and cons to consider when deciding if it is right for you. Take time and make the most suitable decision to reap more benefits.
