One of the most common beliefs among researchers is that humans first arrived in North America 16,000 years ago. According to a recent fossil discovery, that might not be true. The new finding suggests that humans might have arrived
in North America far earlier.
In 2013,a damaged mammoth(猛犸象) skull and other bones that looked “deliberately broken” were found. The damage to the bones suggested that humans were the ones who caused it to make tools. Carbon-dating analysis suggested the pieces are roughly 37,000 years old. This discovery could shift our understanding of humans' earliest existence in North America. These fossils
suggest humans killed animals in the area much earlier than 16,000 years ago.
Previous research led scientists to believe the first humans that settled in North America belonged to the Clovis culture. This was a group of people who left behind carefully made tools 16,000 years ago. However, carbon-dating analysis of the mammoth bones indicates that the site is around 36,250 to 38,900 years old. That means it's the oldest known site left behind by ancient humans in North America.
“That’s not the only interesting thing about the discovery,” said Timothy Rowe, a professor at the University of Texas. “The similar findings supporting an earlier date for human arrival have been mostly ignored. This is because they have contradicted previous research.” Now, however, he thinks there's a good chance that researchers will find evidence of humans farther back in time.
The early humans shaped bones into sharp blades, which were used to take apart animals’ remains, according to Rowe. There are also signs that they cooked the animal bones over a fire to melt off the fat. “The real evidence that we have has to do with the breakage patterns, and how thorough they are. They must have used rocks or hammer stones to bust the skeleton apart…These people would use whatever they could,” Rowe told USA Today.
28. What can be learnt about the earliest humans in North America?
A. They arrived t here 16,000 years ago. B. They caused mammoth to disappear.
C. They could make tools with bones. D. They belonged to the Clovis culture.
29. Why are the findings similar to the new one ignored?
A. They lack a good chance. B. They fail to draw attention.
C. They aren't studied scientifically. D. They disagree with earlier research.
30. How does Rowe find the new discovery?
A. Annoying. B. Inspiring. C. Puzzling. D. Embarrassing.
31. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Evidence of Earlier Humans' Arrival in North America
B. The Earliest Humans’ Settling in North America
C. The Earliest Tool Makers in North America
D. Research on Mammoths in North America
D
A new study suggests the Apple Watch was able to identify abnormal heart rates that could be linked to a serious heart condition.
More than 400,000 Apple Watch users volunteered for the study. It was a project of researchers at the Stanford University School of Medicine. Apple, the American teleology company, provided money for the study. Results were recently presented at a major conference on heart health in New Orleans, Louisiana.
The researchers looked for signs of atrial fibrillation, also, called "a-fib", the most common form of irregular heartbeat. Some people with a-fib feel changes in their heartbeat, while others do not. Because of this, many people do not know they have the condition. People with untreated a-fib are about five times more likely to suffer a stroke(中风). In the United States, a-fib causes an estimated 130,000 deaths and 750,000 hospitalizations each year.
People taking part in the study wore the Apple Watch for extended periods. The devices contain an app that continuously gathers information without users having to do anything. It uses the watch's light sensor technology to measure blood flow. The system is designed to identify changes that might show an irregular
heartbeat.
The researchers said that out of those taking part, about 2,000 subjects(实验 对象)received a warning from the device that they might have a problem. Those individuals were then asked to contact a doctor, who decided whether they should receive more close watch for a possible irregular heartbeat.
Lloyd Minor, head of Stanford's School of Medicine, said in a statement that the results show great promise in using technology to create "more predictive and preventive health care". Doctor Minor added that a-fib is just one example of a condition devices can help identify in the future. "This study opens the door to further research into wearable technologies and how they might be used to prevent disease before it strikes" he said.
But some health researchers warned against making any general judgements based on the Apple- financed study. They have called for much more research to measure the effectiveness of wearable devices to identify signs of disease. Richard Kovacs, who was with the American College of Cardiology and was not involved with the study, told the Associated Press that despite the results, the Apple Watch system "is not perfect." He noted that since the study did not have a comparison group getting regular ECG measurements, there is no way of knowing if the device missed heartbeat problems. This could give users a false sense of security, he said.
Other experts agreed that more studies are needed before similar device- based health observation systems are widely recommended.
32 、What does the new study mainly find out?
A. Apple Watch can warn of heart problems.
B. The change of a-fib can lead to a serious heart condition.
C. Abnormal heart rates can cause a stroke.
D. Heart problems can be identified and cured.
33 、Apple Watch identifies irregular heartbeats by________.
A. measuring the wearer's heart rates. B. sending information to the wearer.
C. monitoring the wearer's bloodstream. D. extending the time of wearing it.
34 、Which of the following might be what Lloyd Minor means in his statement?
A. Ifs difficult for doctors to predict and prevent disease now.
B. There are more possibilities of development in wearable teleology.
C. Wearable technologies will identify and treat any disease one day.
D. A-fib is just one example of a condition that causes heart problems.
35 、Which statement will the author probably agree with?
A. Device-based health observation systems are convenient and should be widely used.
B. Wearable technologies are developing fast but shouldn't be applied to medicine.
C. The study is greatly influenced by a commercial company so the results are a little unfair.
D. The study results are inspiring but more proofs are needed to ensure the accuracy.
第二节 (共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)
根据短文内容， 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项 为多余选项。
Wherever you live, you always look forward to a comfortable home. However, people don't often turn it into what they want because they worry about the costs. Actually, this is a common misconception(错误认识)—you don’t need to spend a lot of money in order to make your home comfortable. 36 .
Clear
The first thing you need to do before buying or rearranging anything is clearing rooms 37 . There is no way to turn a cluttered(杂乱的) space into an
attractive one without organizing it. So, the first thing you do is clearing rooms. You don’t have to throw out everything. Though clearing rooms can be an ongoing process that takes time, it's worth it.
Add Green Plants
38 . Besides the eye- pleasing effect that plants and flowers have, they also remove toxins(毒素) from the air, making your environment healthier. If that isn’t enough for you,they tend to help calm people down.
Try Darker Colors
Another thing you can do to make a room look warmer is use some darker shades in the decoration. Lighter colors are great for making a room feel bigger, but darker colors create a comfortable and attractive environment 39 .
Adjust the Lighting
The last thing is lighting. The lighting in a room can make or break it 40 . Think of using the fireplace if you have one, lighting some candles and hanging up some string lights. Even a lamp can make all the difference to the environment of a room.
A. Warm lighting can make a room pleasant and sweet
B. Disorder is the exact opposite of warm and attractive
C. You shouldn't keep plants and flowers in your bedroom
D. Throwing in some darker colors will make the room look perfect
E. Besides making it keep warm, blankets add more color to a room
F. Here are some inexpensive ways to make your home comfortable
G. One way to make a room attractive is to add plants and fresh flowers

They say there are three ways to experience the Grand Canyon : on foot , on mules (骡子) or by air . We chose the first . Up early , my husband and I and our three children couldn ' t wait to get started . We decided to walk along a lovely path named Bright Angel Trail .
As we set out , I was shocked at how narrow the path was . And I couldn ' t help noticing that the other tourists weren ' t like us . They had heavy backpacks , water bottles ,and hats . But as usual we were dressed . As the sun rose higher , Arizona ' s famous heat seemed to roast us . There was no shade and our legs were aching . We decided to go back ,with the girl on my back and the boys far behind .
By the time we finally got back , our legs were like jelly .
The next day , after we ' d had a long rest and a good breakfast , we were ready for another view of the Canyon - by air . After our last walk , this would be the easiest thing in the world .
We called to each other excitedly as the plane took off and circled around the Canyon . But the smiles on our faces disappeared as the pilot tossed (翻转) the
plane around , pretending he was going to hit the ground . I shouted ," STOP , TAKE US BACK !" When we finally arrived back on land , once again our legs were like jelly . We hardly spoke as we drove back .
As I said , there are three ways to view the Grand Canyon . We never tried the mules , but personally I ' d suggest a fourth : buy yourself a good magazine like National Geographic . That way , you can see the Canyon , without fear or tiredness .

One of the most common beliefs among researchers is that humans first arrived in North America 16,000 years ago. According to a recent fossil discovery, that might not be true. The new finding suggests that humans might have arrived
in North America far earlier.
In 2013,a damaged mammoth(猛犸象) skull and other bones that looked “deliberately broken” were found. The damage to the bones suggested that humans were the ones who caused it to make tools. Carbon-dating analysis suggested the pieces are roughly 37,000 years old. This discovery could shift our understanding of humans' earliest existence in North America. These fossils
suggest humans killed animals in the area much earlier than 16,000 years ago.
Previous research led scientists to believe the first humans that settled in North America belonged to the Clovis culture. This was a group of people who left behind carefully made tools 16,000 years ago. However, carbon-dating analysis of the mammoth bones indicates that the site is around 36,250 to 38,900 years old. That means it's the oldest known site left behind by ancient humans in North America.
“That’s not the only interesting thing about the discovery,” said Timothy Rowe, a professor at the University of Texas. “The similar findings supporting an earlier date for human arrival have been mostly ignored. This is because they have contradicted previous research.” Now, however, he thinks there's a good chance that researchers will find evidence of humans farther back in time.
The early humans shaped bones into sharp blades, which were used to take apart animals’ remains, according to Rowe. There are also signs that they cooked the animal bones over a fire to melt off the fat. “The real evidence that we have has to do with the breakage patterns, and how thorough they are. They must have used rocks or hammer stones to bust the skeleton apart…These people would use whatever they could,” Rowe told USA Today.
28. What can be learnt about the earliest humans in North America?
A. They arrived t here 16,000 years ago. B. They caused mammoth to disappear.
C. They could make tools with bones. D. They belonged to the Clovis culture.
29. Why are the findings similar to the new one ignored?
A. They lack a good chance. B. They fail to draw attention.
C. They aren't studied scientifically. D. They disagree with earlier research.
30. How does Rowe find the new discovery?
A. Annoying. B. Inspiring. C. Puzzling. D. Embarrassing.
31. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Evidence of Earlier Humans' Arrival in North America
B. The Earliest Humans’ Settling in North America
C. The Earliest Tool Makers in North America
D. Research on Mammoths in North America

A new study suggests the Apple Watch was able to identify abnormal heart rates that could be linked to a serious heart condition.
More than 400,000 Apple Watch users volunteered for the study. It was a project of researchers at the Stanford University School of Medicine. Apple, the American teleology company, provided money for the study. Results were recently presented at a major conference on heart health in New Orleans, Louisiana.
The researchers looked for signs of atrial fibrillation, also, called "a-fib", the most common form of irregular heartbeat. Some people with a-fib feel changes in their heartbeat, while others do not. Because of this, many people do not know they have the condition. People with untreated a-fib are about five times more likely to suffer a stroke(中风). In the United States, a-fib causes an estimated 130,000 deaths and 750,000 hospitalizations each year.
People taking part in the study wore the Apple Watch for extended periods. The devices contain an app that continuously gathers information without users having to do anything. It uses the watch's light sensor technology to measure blood flow. The system is designed to identify changes that might show an irregular
heartbeat.
The researchers said that out of those taking part, about 2,000 subjects(实验 对象)received a warning from the device that they might have a problem. Those individuals were then asked to contact a doctor, who decided whether they should receive more close watch for a possible irregular heartbeat.
Lloyd Minor, head of Stanford's School of Medicine, said in a statement that the results show great promise in using technology to create "more predictive and preventive health care". Doctor Minor added that a-fib is just one example of a condition devices can help identify in the future. "This study opens the door to further research into wearable technologies and how they might be used to prevent disease before it strikes" he said.
But some health researchers warned against making any general judgements based on the Apple- financed study. They have called for much more research to measure the effectiveness of wearable devices to identify signs of disease. Richard Kovacs, who was with the American College of Cardiology and was not involved with the study, told the Associated Press that despite the results, the Apple Watch system "is not perfect." He noted that since the study did not have a comparison group getting regular ECG measurements, there is no way of knowing if the device missed heartbeat problems. This could give users a false sense of security, he said.
Other experts agreed that more studies are needed before similar device- based health observation systems are widely recommended.
32 、What does the new study mainly find out?
A. Apple Watch can warn of heart problems.
B. The change of a-fib can lead to a serious heart condition.
C. Abnormal heart rates can cause a stroke.
D. Heart problems can be identified and cured.
33 、Apple Watch identifies irregular heartbeats by________.
A. measuring the wearer's heart rates. B. sending information to the wearer.
C. monitoring the wearer's bloodstream. D. extending the time of wearing it.
34 、Which of the following might be what Lloyd Minor means in his statement?
A. Ifs difficult for doctors to predict and prevent disease now.
B. There are more possibilities of development in wearable teleology.
C. Wearable technologies will identify and treat any disease one day.
D. A-fib is just one example of a condition that causes heart problems.
35 、Which statement will the author probably agree with?
A. Device-based health observation systems are convenient and should be widely used.
B. Wearable technologies are developing fast but shouldn't be applied to medicine.
C. The study is greatly influenced by a commercial company so the results are a little unfair.
D. The study results are inspiring but more proofs are needed to ensure the accuracy.

Wherever you live, you always look forward to a comfortable home. However, people don't often turn it into what they want because they worry about the costs. Actually, this is a common misconception(错误认识)—you don’t need to spend a lot of money in order to make your home comfortable. 36 .
Clear
The first thing you need to do before buying or rearranging anything is clearing rooms 37 . There is no way to turn a cluttered(杂乱的) space into an
attractive one without organizing it. So, the first thing you do is clearing rooms. You don’t have to throw out everything. Though clearing rooms can be an ongoing process that takes time, it's worth it.
Add Green Plants
38 . Besides the eye- pleasing effect that plants and flowers have, they also remove toxins(毒素) from the air, making your environment healthier. If that isn’t enough for you,they tend to help calm people down.
Try Darker Colors
Another thing you can do to make a room look warmer is use some darker shades in the decoration. Lighter colors are great for making a room feel bigger, but darker colors create a comfortable and attractive environment 39 .
Adjust the Lighting
The last thing is lighting. The lighting in a room can make or break it 40 . Think of using the fireplace if you have one, lighting some candles and hanging up some string lights. Even a lamp can make all the difference to the environment of a room.
A. Warm lighting can make a room pleasant and sweet
B. Disorder is the exact opposite of warm and attractive
C. You shouldn't keep plants and flowers in your bedroom
D. Throwing in some darker colors will make the room look perfect
E. Besides making it keep warm, blankets add more color to a room
F. Here are some inexpensive ways to make your home comfortable
G. One way to make a room attractive is to add plants and fresh flowers
