There, Jane met famed Dr. Louis Seymour Bazett Leakey, who offered her a job at the local natural history museum. She worked th

11、ere for a time before Leakey decided to send her to the Gombe Stream Game Reserve in Tanzania to study wild chimpanzees. He felt her strong interest in animals and nature, and her knowledge as well as high energy made her a great candidate to study the chimpanzees. In December 1958, Jane returned ho

12、me to England and Leakey began to make arrangements for the expedition (考察), securing the appropriate permissions from the government and raising funds. In May 1960, Jane learned that Leakey had gained funding from the Wilkie Brothers Foundation. Jane arrived by boat at the Gombe Stream Game Reserve

13、 on the eastern shore of Lake Tanganyika with her mother. The early weeks at Gombe were challenging. Jane developed a fever that delayed the start of her work. Finally, an older chimpanzee named David Greybeard, began to allow Jane to watch him. As a high-ranking male of the chimpanzee community, hi

14、s acceptance meant other group members also allowed Jane to observe. It was David Greybeard whom Jane first witnessed using tools. Excited, she telegraphed Dr. Leakey about her observation. He wrote back, “Now we must redefine tool and man or accept chimpanzees as humans. ”Jane continued to work in

15、the field and, with Leakey s help, began her doctoral program without an undergraduate degree in 1962.

21、s. CBy now, most people know they should be eating more vegetables. But are there ways to get more from the vegetables you already eat? Research shows that when it comes to vegetables, it s not only how much we eat, but also how we prepare them, that decides the vitamins and other nutrients that ent

22、er our body. Many studies show that people who eat lots of vegetables have less heart disease, and eye problems and even cancer. But raw vegetables are not always best. The researchers found that 198 Germans who eat raw food were short of lycopene, the matter found in tomatoes and other red vegetabl

23、es. “There is an idea that raw foods are always going to be better, ” says Steven K. Clinton, a professor at Ohio State University. “For fruits and vegetables, sometimes a little bit of cooking can be helpful. ”A number of factors decide how the vegetables do good to people s health before they reac

24、h the table, including where and how they were grown and stored before being bought. No single cooking way is best. Some nutrients are easily lost in cooking if they are cooked in different ways. Vitamins C and B are often lost. In January, another report said that boiling was better for carrots tha

25、n frying or serving them raw. Frying was the worst way to cook. What cooked with the vegetables can also be important. When the vegetables were cooked with fat, the diners can get more nutrients.

29、people will eat. C. It s better to cook the vegetables without salt. D. The fat will increase the nutrition of the vegetables. DBefore war and time destroy more of our important cultural sites, we need to save them in 3-D digital libraries. Across 163 different countries, 1, 000 natural and cultural

30、 historic places make up our most precious human heritage, which UNESCO calls World Heritage Sites. We lose a little of that heritage every day. War, climate change and pollution have a bad effect, as do wind and rain. The $4 million a year that UNESCO spends on preservation is not nearly enough to

31、take care of even the four dozen sites considered at approaching risk of being lost forever. Now there s a better choice. New digital-conservation technologies let us hold on to them, at least virtually(虚拟地), through 3-D scanning, modeling and digital storage. Such projects can be accomplished throu

32、gh cooperation between governments, universities, industry and non-profit organizations. To make a 3-D model, a laser(激光) scanner bounces light off an object and records the results. To reproduce every corner and opening, the scanner collects overlapping(重叠的) images from all possible angles. A compu

33、ter then sews them together into one large surface image and draws lines from one point to another to create a wire-frame model. High-resolution digital cameras add color and texture. When fully put together, the models can be viewed, printed or operated. These scans do more than preserve a memory i

34、n a database. With highly accurate measurements, archaeologists(考古学家) can find hidden passages or reveal ancient engineering tricks. School kids can explore places they might otherwise never see. And when a site is destroyed, the scans can even be used to reconstruct what was there. That has already

35、 happened for one World Heritage Site, the Kasubi Tombs in Uganda. Built of wood in 1882, they were destroyed by fire in 2010 and rebuilt in 2014, based in large part on 3-D models made in 2009. More than 100 World Heritage Sites have been already preserved as 3-D models, and conservationists are ra

36、cing to record as many more as possible. 32. How does the author show the necessity for 3-D digital libraries in the first two paragraphs? A. By listing the threats to our human heritage. B. By introducing some damaged historical sites. C. By quoting some experts views on heritage protection. D. By

37、explaining UNESCO s research on World Heritage Sites. 33. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about? A. The function of a laser scanner. B. The reflection of light off an object. C. The process of making a 3-D model. D. The development of 3-D digital technology. 34. What do we know about the Kasubi Tombs in

38、Uganda? A. It is metal-framed. B. It is still in its original condition. C. It was once destroyed in an earthquake. D. It was reconstructed thanks to 3-D models. 35. What does the author intend to say through this text? A. Never ignore the destructive power of war. B. Take action to reduce pollution

39、 in historic places. C. Take advantage of 3-D technology to keep history. D. Invest more money to preserve World Heritage Sites. 第二节(共 5 小题; 每小题 2. 5 分, 满分 12. 5 分)阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Learn How to Have a Learning VacationGoing on a vacation to learn a skill you have long wante

47、iggest smile ever. He waved something above his head. “It s a pen. But not just any pen. It s a lucky pen! ” He handed me the pen 41 , waiting for my reaction (反应). I looked at the pen in my hand. There was nothing 42 about it. It looked just like any other ballpoint pen. I had a drawer full of them

48、. At that moment, I didn t realize how special it was or how much I would come to treasure it. I had made the decision to be a(n) 43 . I had dreamed about it for a long time but I was afraid of being refused by the publishing houses. The night before, I told my husband my 44 when I thought Cody wasn
