Lucy, whose skeleton(骨骼) was discovered in Ethiopia in 1974, died shortly after she fell out of a tree, according to a new study published Monday in the British journal Nature.
For their research, Kappelman and Dr. Richard Ketcham used a CT scanner to create more than 35,000 “slices” of Lucy’s skeleton. Scientists named her Lucy from the Beatles song “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds”, which was played at the camp the night of her discovery.
The following analysis of the slices showed sharp, clean breaks seen at the end of Lucy’s right humerus (肱骨) are similar to bone breaks seen in victims of falls.
The researchers concluded that these and other breaks in her skeleton show that Lucy, who is believed to have stood about 3 feet 6 inches and weighed about 60 pounds, fell feet first and used her arms to support herself - but that the injury was too severe to have been survivable.
The researchers estimate that Lucy was going about 35 miles an hour when she hit the ground after falling from a height of roughly 40 feet, according to the statement.
That sounds plausible. But other scientists are doubtful. “There are countless explanations for bone breaks,” Dr, Donald C, Johanson, director of the Institute of Human Origins and one of the scientists who discovered Lucy, said, “The suggestion that she fell out of a tree is largely a just-so story and therefore unprovable.” Johanson said it was more likely that Lucy’s breaks occurred long after she died, saying that “elephant bones appear to have the same kind of breaks, It's unlikely they fell out of a tree.”
But the new research focused on “a small number of breaks” that are consistent with “high-energy bone-to-bone influences” and which differ from the sorts of breaks commonly seen in other collected bones. Kappelman responded in an email, “These appear to have occurred at or near the time of death.”
24. What can we infer about Lucy from Kappelman and Dr. Richard Ketcham’s research?
A.She got her name from a song. B.She had more than 35,000 slices.
C.She couldn’t use her arms properly. D.She made an effort to save herself.
25. What does the underlined word “plausible” in Paragraph 6 probably mean?
A.Reasonable. B.Creative. C.Surprising. D.Unbelievable.
26. Which of the following would Johanson probably agree?
A.Elephants are unlikely to die from falling.
B.Lucy got breaks at or near the time of death.
C.Other reasons for the breaks should be considered.
D.Lucy’s bone breaks differ from other bone breaks.
27. What conclusion can we draw from the passage?
A.Lucy didn’t die from falling out of a tree.
B.The newly published study was meaningless.
C.The argument on how Lucy died will continue.
D.Scientists will find another way to solve the problem.
C
In ancient Egypt, a shopkeeper discovered that he could attract customers to his shop simply by making changes to its environment. Modern businesses have been following his lead, with more tactics (策略).
One tactic involves where to display the goods. For example, stores place fruits and vegetables in the first section. They know that customers who buy the healthy food first will feel happy so that they will buy more junk food later in their trip. In department stores, the women’s shoe section is generally next to the women’s cosmetics(化妆品) section: while the shop assistant is going back to find the right size shoe, bored customers are likely to wander over and find some cosmetics they might want to try later.
Besides, businesses seek to appeal to customers’ senses, Stores notice that the smell of baked goods encourages shopping, so they make their own bread each morning and then fan the bread smell into the store throughout the day. Music sells goods, too. Researchers in Britain found that when French music was played, sales of French wines went up.
When it comes to the selling of houses, businesses also use highly rewarding tactics. They find that customers make decisions in the first few seconds upon walking in the door, and turn it into a business opportunity. A California builder designed the structure of its houses smartly. When entering the house, the customer would see the Pacific Ocean through the windows, and then the pool through an open stairway leading to the lower level. The instant view of water on both levels helped sell these $10 million houses.
28. Why do stores usually display fruits and vegetables in the first section?
A.To save customers time. B.To show they are high quality foods.
C.To help sell junk food. D.To sell them at discount prices.
29. According to Paragraph 3, which of the following encourages customers to buy?
A.Opening the store early in the morning.
B.Displaying British wines next to French ones.
C.Inviting customers to play music.
D.Filling the store with the smell of fresh bread
30. What is the California builder’s story intended to prove?
A.The house structure is a key factor customers consider.
B.The more costly the house is,the better it sells.
C.An ocean view is much to the customers’ taste.
D.A good first impression increases sales.
31. What is the main purpose of the passage?
A.To explain how businesses turn people into their customers.
B.To introduce how businesses have grown from the past.
C.To report researches on customer behavior
D.To show dishonest business practices
D
Along with soccer, basketball is a global sport. As you read this, young people somewhere in the world are happily passing, dribbling and shooting. It’s enormous fun and a joyful way to spend time with others.
Basketball is a game for everyone. Unlike golf or tennis, it doesn’t require great wealth or a lot of space to play. After all, not many people have a golf course-sized backyard, and tennis equipment is expensive. Basketball, by contrast, just needs a wall with a hoop (篮筐) and a ball.
So after its invention by Canadian-American physical educator James Naismith in 1891, the sport took off with US city-dwellers, who quickly became attracted to the game because it suited their circumstances. Today, 126 years later, basketball remains one of the most popular sports in the US, and the National Basketball Association (NBA) has an increasing appeal to fans around the world.
The success of basketball as a global phenomenon is undoubtedly related to the way African-Americans play the game. “The basketball court reflected some of the major cultural shifts in America, such as from segregation (种族隔离) to integration (融合),” the LIVESTRONG website noted.
From the 1950s onwards, segregation rules, which had prohibited African-Americans from playing in NBA games, were no longer used in the US. In 1950, when Earl Lloyd started to play for the Washington Capital team, things began to change. Since then, most of the greats of the game have been African-Americans, like Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, Kobe Bryant and LeBron James.
It’s not difficult to see that there’s a strong link between political liberation and basketball. Something of this is expressed in a quote from the US author John Edgar Wideman. He makes a connection between basketball and hope: “When it’s played the way it’s supposed to be played, basketball happens in the air; flying, floating, elevated (升起) above the floor, levitating (使飘浮) the way oppressed (压制的) peoples of this earth imagine themselves in their dreams.”
32. What advantage does basketball have over golf or tennis, according to the author?
A.It can be played anywhere. B.It doesn’t cost much to play.
C.It doesn’t require too much skill. D.It interests almost everyone.
33. What can we learn about basketball from Paragraph 3?
A.The sport was created by a PE teacher.
B.The sport was not popular with people at first.
C.Its rules have changed a lot to suit new circumstances.
D.The NBA, with a history of 126 years, attracts people worldwide.
34. The main purpose of Paragraph 5 is to ________.
A.explain the origin and rules of NBA games in the 1950s
B.prove the popularity of basketball among African-Americans
C.stress the success of African-Americans in basketball
D.show how racial integration took place in basketball
35. What do John Edgar Wideman’s words mean?
A.Basketball is sometimes a useful tool for politicians.
B.American people usually have a basketball dream.
C.Basketball stands for the freedom and hopes of people.
D.Political oppression is a serious problem in the US.

I was shocking to find a little child struggling in the water in the distance while many peoples were standing by without doing anything. Without any hesitation (犹豫), I had pushed through the crowd as I took off my coat, but jumped into the water quickly. I managed to reach him and carried him back to safety.

Lucy, whose skeleton(骨骼) was discovered in Ethiopia in 1974, died shortly after she fell out of a tree, according to a new study published Monday in the British journal Nature.
For their research, Kappelman and Dr. Richard Ketcham used a CT scanner to create more than 35,000 “slices” of Lucy’s skeleton. Scientists named her Lucy from the Beatles song “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds”, which was played at the camp the night of her discovery.
The following analysis of the slices showed sharp, clean breaks seen at the end of Lucy’s right humerus (肱骨) are similar to bone breaks seen in victims of falls.
The researchers concluded that these and other breaks in her skeleton show that Lucy, who is believed to have stood about 3 feet 6 inches and weighed about 60 pounds, fell feet first and used her arms to support herself - but that the injury was too severe to have been survivable.
The researchers estimate that Lucy was going about 35 miles an hour when she hit the ground after falling from a height of roughly 40 feet, according to the statement.
That sounds plausible. But other scientists are doubtful. “There are countless explanations for bone breaks,” Dr, Donald C, Johanson, director of the Institute of Human Origins and one of the scientists who discovered Lucy, said, “The suggestion that she fell out of a tree is largely a just-so story and therefore unprovable.” Johanson said it was more likely that Lucy’s breaks occurred long after she died, saying that “elephant bones appear to have the same kind of breaks, It's unlikely they fell out of a tree.”
But the new research focused on “a small number of breaks” that are consistent with “high-energy bone-to-bone influences” and which differ from the sorts of breaks commonly seen in other collected bones. Kappelman responded in an email, “These appear to have occurred at or near the time of death.”
24. What can we infer about Lucy from Kappelman and Dr. Richard Ketcham’s research?
A.She got her name from a song. B.She had more than 35,000 slices.
C.She couldn’t use her arms properly. D.She made an effort to save herself.
25. What does the underlined word “plausible” in Paragraph 6 probably mean?
A.Reasonable. B.Creative. C.Surprising. D.Unbelievable.
26. Which of the following would Johanson probably agree?
A.Elephants are unlikely to die from falling.
B.Lucy got breaks at or near the time of death.
C.Other reasons for the breaks should be considered.
D.Lucy’s bone breaks differ from other bone breaks.
27. What conclusion can we draw from the passage?
A.Lucy didn’t die from falling out of a tree.
B.The newly published study was meaningless.
C.The argument on how Lucy died will continue.
D.Scientists will find another way to solve the problem.

In ancient Egypt, a shopkeeper discovered that he could attract customers to his shop simply by making changes to its environment. Modern businesses have been following his lead, with more tactics (策略).
One tactic involves where to display the goods. For example, stores place fruits and vegetables in the first section. They know that customers who buy the healthy food first will feel happy so that they will buy more junk food later in their trip. In department stores, the women’s shoe section is generally next to the women’s cosmetics(化妆品) section: while the shop assistant is going back to find the right size shoe, bored customers are likely to wander over and find some cosmetics they might want to try later.
Besides, businesses seek to appeal to customers’ senses, Stores notice that the smell of baked goods encourages shopping, so they make their own bread each morning and then fan the bread smell into the store throughout the day. Music sells goods, too. Researchers in Britain found that when French music was played, sales of French wines went up.
When it comes to the selling of houses, businesses also use highly rewarding tactics. They find that customers make decisions in the first few seconds upon walking in the door, and turn it into a business opportunity. A California builder designed the structure of its houses smartly. When entering the house, the customer would see the Pacific Ocean through the windows, and then the pool through an open stairway leading to the lower level. The instant view of water on both levels helped sell these $10 million houses.
28. Why do stores usually display fruits and vegetables in the first section?
A.To save customers time. B.To show they are high quality foods.
C.To help sell junk food. D.To sell them at discount prices.
29. According to Paragraph 3, which of the following encourages customers to buy?
A.Opening the store early in the morning.
B.Displaying British wines next to French ones.
C.Inviting customers to play music.
D.Filling the store with the smell of fresh bread
30. What is the California builder’s story intended to prove?
A.The house structure is a key factor customers consider.
B.The more costly the house is,the better it sells.
C.An ocean view is much to the customers’ taste.
D.A good first impression increases sales.
31. What is the main purpose of the passage?
A.To explain how businesses turn people into their customers.
B.To introduce how businesses have grown from the past.
C.To report researches on customer behavior
D.To show dishonest business practices

Along with soccer, basketball is a global sport. As you read this, young people somewhere in the world are happily passing, dribbling and shooting. It’s enormous fun and a joyful way to spend time with others.
Basketball is a game for everyone. Unlike golf or tennis, it doesn’t require great wealth or a lot of space to play. After all, not many people have a golf course-sized backyard, and tennis equipment is expensive. Basketball, by contrast, just needs a wall with a hoop (篮筐) and a ball.
So after its invention by Canadian-American physical educator James Naismith in 1891, the sport took off with US city-dwellers, who quickly became attracted to the game because it suited their circumstances. Today, 126 years later, basketball remains one of the most popular sports in the US, and the National Basketball Association (NBA) has an increasing appeal to fans around the world.
The success of basketball as a global phenomenon is undoubtedly related to the way African-Americans play the game. “The basketball court reflected some of the major cultural shifts in America, such as from segregation (种族隔离) to integration (融合),” the LIVESTRONG website noted.
From the 1950s onwards, segregation rules, which had prohibited African-Americans from playing in NBA games, were no longer used in the US. In 1950, when Earl Lloyd started to play for the Washington Capital team, things began to change. Since then, most of the greats of the game have been African-Americans, like Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, Kobe Bryant and LeBron James.
It’s not difficult to see that there’s a strong link between political liberation and basketball. Something of this is expressed in a quote from the US author John Edgar Wideman. He makes a connection between basketball and hope: “When it’s played the way it’s supposed to be played, basketball happens in the air; flying, floating, elevated (升起) above the floor, levitating (使飘浮) the way oppressed (压制的) peoples of this earth imagine themselves in their dreams.”
32. What advantage does basketball have over golf or tennis, according to the author?
A.It can be played anywhere. B.It doesn’t cost much to play.
C.It doesn’t require too much skill. D.It interests almost everyone.
33. What can we learn about basketball from Paragraph 3?
A.The sport was created by a PE teacher.
B.The sport was not popular with people at first.
C.Its rules have changed a lot to suit new circumstances.
D.The NBA, with a history of 126 years, attracts people worldwide.
34. The main purpose of Paragraph 5 is to ________.
A.explain the origin and rules of NBA games in the 1950s
B.prove the popularity of basketball among African-Americans
C.stress the success of African-Americans in basketball
D.show how racial integration took place in basketball
35. What do John Edgar Wideman’s words mean?
A.Basketball is sometimes a useful tool for politicians.
B.American people usually have a basketball dream.
C.Basketball stands for the freedom and hopes of people.
D.Political oppression is a serious problem in the US.

Last Saturday I went to the library as usually. At about noon, I was enjoying my reading near a lake while suddenly I hear someone crying for help. I went to see what was happened. I was shocking to find a little child struggling in the water in the distance while many peoples were standing by without doing anything. Without any hesitation (犹豫), I had pushed through the crowd as I took off my coat, but jumped into the water quickly. I managed to reach him and carried him back to safety. To his great relief, the kid was saved. I was proud what I had done. I hope everyone can give a hand when someone else is in need.
