Passage Four

Sporting activities are essentially modified forms of hunting behavior. Viewed biologically, the modern footballer is in reality a member of a hunting group. His killing weapon has turned into a harmless football and

his prey into a goalmouth. If his aim is accurate and he scores a goal, he enjoys the hunter’s triumph of killing his prey.

To understand how this transformation has taken place we must briefly look back at our forefathers. They spent over a million years evolving( 进化 ) as Cooperative hunters. Their very survival depended on success in the hunting fielD、（84）Under this pressure their whole way of life, even their bodies, became greatly changed ：They became chasers, runners, jumpers, aimers, throwers and prey killers. They cooperated as skillful male group attack.

Then about ten thousand years ago, after this immensely long period of hunting the food, they became farmers. Their improved intelligence, so vital to their old hunting life was put to a new use --that of controlling and domesticating ( 驯养 ) their prey. The hunt became suddenly out of date. The food was there on the farms, awaiting their needs. The risks and uncertainties of the hunt were no longer essential for survival.

(85)The skills and thirst for hunting remained, however, and demanded new outlets. Hunting for sport replaced hunting for necessity. This new activity involved all the original hunting sequences( 后果 ), but the aim of the operation was no longer to avoid starvation. Instead the sportsmen set off to test their skill against prey that was no longer essential to their survival. To be sure, the kill may have been eaten, but there were other purposes, much simpler of obtaining a meaty meal.The word “operation (Par. 4)refers to _____.

3.When we walk through the city,we,all experience a kind of information overload(超载）。but we pay attention only to those that are,important to us.We don't stop,we keepour faces expressionless and eyes straight ahead,and in doing so,we are not just protecting ourselves, but are,avoiding overloading other people as well.We make use of stereotypes(刻板的模式）as convenient ways to make quick judgmentsabout situations and people around us.They may not always be accurate(精确的），andthey can often be dangerously wrong,but they are used regularly.The problem with the stereotypes is that they restrict(限制）experience.,By using limited clues(线索）to provide us with a rapid opinion of other people on places we may choose to limit our communication.We may decide not to go to certain places because we believe.they will not offer something weenjoy.In the city ,styles of dress are particularly important with regard to （关于）self-presentation,Different groups often use clearly identifiable(可辨认的）styles of clothes so thatthey can be easily recognized.It is becoming increasingly.common for brand names to beplaced on the outside of clothes,and this labeling(标签）makes it easy to send out information about fashion and price instantly(马上）lets other tell at a distance whether n individual has similar tastes and is a suitable person to associatewithIn England,where social grouping or classcontinues to make social distinctions(区分），clothes,hairstyles,people's pronunciation and the manner of speaking are all clues toour social group.Class distinctions tend to be relatively fixed,although in the citywhere greater variety is permitted.they are more likely to he secondary determining factorsfriendship and association.It would appear that in England,a person s class,（）

8.An interesting project called Blue Zones is recording the lifestyle secrets of the communities withthe highest, hest concentrations of centenarians in the world.The people in the five regions in Europe, Latin America,Asia and the US that live to be 100 have alot going for them. Genes probably play a small role, but these folks also have strong socialties ,tightly-knit families and lots of opportunities to exercise.As we were examining the dietary secrets of the Blue Zones, as described in author Dan Buettner"s latest book, The Blue Zones Solution, we were struck by how essential tea drinking is in theseregions. In fact, Buettner' s Blue Zones Beverage Rule--a kind of guideline summarized from his 15or so years of studying these places--is:" Drink coffee for breakfast, tea in the afternoon, wine at 5p. tm"Science has plenty to say about the healthful virtues of green tea. Researchers are most enthusi-astic almt the components in green tea, as well as foods like cocoa. Why might they help so many Okina~vans in Japan break 1007 Some components in green tea can lower the risk of stroke,heart disease attd several cancers. One review study also found that drinking green tea can slightly improve metabolism (新陈代谢).If you find yourself on the island of Ikaria, the Greek Blue Zone in the middle of the Aegean, youwon't be offered any tea made with tea leaves. Instead, Ikarians typically make their daily cup oftea with just one fresh herb that they have picked themselves that day--either rosemary, wildsage,oregano,nmrjotmn,mint or dandelion,all plants that may have anti-inflammatory (消炎的)properties,which may help lower blood pressure. This could explain Ikaria' s very low dementia (痴呆)rate,since high blood pressure is a risk factor for the disease.What does the underlined word "centenarians" in Paragraph 1 refer to?

15.根据以下资料，回答21-24题。 　　There Pictures from outer space now show us how much land has changed on earth．These images are taken by Landsat 7, a government satellite．The satellites have been used for 27 years．They reveal the clear-cutting of forests in the northwestern part of the United States．Pictures show the loss of rain forests in South America. 　　NASA's Darrel Williams speaks about the Landsat 7 Project．He said that an eruption caused trees to burn up in a large forest．Fifteen years later, pinkish images from space show that the trees and plant life are growing again．Williams says that clear-cut areas easily show up in the pictures．He wants Americans to look at how much land is being cleared of forests in our country. 　　Satellites have provided other information about changes on earth．In the past ten years, more than four miles have shrunk from glaciers in Alaska．Landsat 7 received these computer images of Glacier Bay in Alaska. 　　Hurricanes Floyd and Irene have damaged the coastline in North Carolina．Runoff from farms and silt have gone into the．ocean according to satellite images．Loss of trees and forests have caused hotter summers in southern cities such as Atlanta, Georgia. The Landsat 7 images are like pictures in a photo album．Instead of pictures of the family, the album shows changes around the globe in the past 25 years. 　　A new satellite, Terra, is going to be launched by NASA soon．It will be more advanced than Landsat 7 and will take important global pictures．Ocean temperatures and energy loss will be provided by Terra daily.24 Terra will be a better satellite because

16.The house,________was completed in 1856,was famous for its huge marble staircase.

17.The world's oceans have warmed 50 percent faster over the last 40 years than previously thought due to climate change, Australian and US climate researchers reported Wednesday．Higher ocean temperatures expand the volume of water, contributing to a rise in sea levels that is covering small island nations and threatening to destroy the low-lying, densely-populated low regions around the globe. 　　The study, published in the British journal Nature, adds to a growing scientific chorus of warnings about the pace and consequences rising oceans．It also serves as a corrective to a massive report issued last year by the Nobel-winning UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), according to the authors. 　　Rising sea levels are driven by two things: the thermal expansion of sea water, and additional water from melting sources of ice．Both processes are caused by global warming．The ice sheet that sits atop Greenland, for example, contains enough water to raise world ocean levels by seven meters, which would bury sea-level cities from Dhaka to Shanghai. 　　Trying to figure out how much each of these factors contributes to rising sea levels is critically important to understanding climate change, and forecasting future temperature rises, scientists say．But up to now, there has been a puzzling gap between the projections of computer-based climate models, and the observations of scientists gathering data from the oceans. 　　The new study, led by Catia Domingues of the Centre for Australian Weather and Climate Research, is the first to reunite the models with observed data．Using new techniques to assess ocean temperatures to a depth of 700 meters from 1961 to 2003, it shows that thermal warming contributed to a 0.53 millimeter-per-year rise in sea levels rather than the 0.32 mm rise reported by the IPCC. [单选题] Ultimately, the new study should help scientists to __.
