The latest findings throw new light on the origins and social structure of the gro

For their study, the international team of researchers analyzed the genomesthe - 6 - complete set of genetic material in a cellof 24 Stone Age individuals from five megalithic burial sites in Ireland, Scotland and
20、 Gotland, a large Swedish island in the Baltic Sea. This analysis showed that many of the individuals buried at each megalith, who all lived between 3,800 B.C. and 2,600 B.C., according to radiocarbon-dating of their remains, were closely related via family ties. The results also showed that the ind
21、ividuals buried at the megaliths were related to Neolithic farmers in northern and western Europe but genetically distinct from other hunter-gatherers. This was particularly noticeable at the Ansarve site on the island of Gotland. “The people buried in the Ansarve tomb are remarkably different on a
22、genetic level compared to the individuals dug out from hunter-gather contexts, showing that the burial tradition in this megalithic tomb, which lasted for over 700 years, was performed by distinct groups with roots in the European Neolithic expansion,” Magdalena Fraser, co-first author from Uppsala

27、srooms, but I wasnt there to learn to write, read or even speak. When it was my turn to read, I wanted to hide. I was 13 years old, but I already hated being who I was. I had an English teacher, Mr. Creech, who knew I couldnt read. In one of my first lessons the teacher said that anyone who had a re
28、ading age below six had to stand up. I felt so embarrassed. But at the same time, it made me realize that I needed to change the situation. I was determined it wouldnt happen again. Later that day, Mr. Creech encouraged me and promised he would try his best to help me learn to read. From then on, I
29、never gave up practicing reading. Now I was 41 years old. One day, I planned to fly back to Texas to visit my friends and family.

35、reech. D Researchers in Australia have discovered an effective new method to capture the atmospheric carbon dioxide that is damaging our planet and transform it into something solid, making it much easier to store. Carbon capture isnt new, but previous methods call for the gas to be compressed into
36、liquid and then injected underground. Widespread usage of that technology has been locked by economic and environmental concerns due to possible leaks. Instead, in a study published in Nature Communications, the group details their sustainable and cost-effective plan for transforming CO2 into coal.
37、This new process involves a liquid metal catalyst( 催化剂 )that is efficient in conducting electricity. CO2 gas is dissolved in a container with some liquid. Once electricity charge is introduced, the CO2 begins to turn into solid pieces of carbon, which can be collected and stored. What makes this par
38、ticularly unique is that the entire process can occur at room temperature. Previous experiments have only shown a gas to solid conversion at extremely high temperature, which made it impossible on a large scale. Now, the researchers are hoping that their work will be used to create even further when
39、 it comes to carbon storage. - 9 - In an interesting side benefit, the solid carbon also works as an electrode( 焊 条 ), which opens up a world of possibilities. “A side benefit of the process is that the carbon can hold electrical charge, becoming a super battery, so it could potentially be used as a
40、 part in future vehicles,” explains Dr. Dorna Estrafilzadeh, a researcher. “The process also produces fuel as a by-product, which could also have industrial applications.” 32.What can we know about the previous carbon capture methods? A.People have to inject liquid to the gas. B.The previous methods
41、 can be done easily. C.The previous methods are not very popular. D.People have widely accepted previous methods. 33.What is the special part of the new method? A.It needs electricity to make the process efficient. B.It can be done in any kind of container. C.It doesnt need extreme temperature. D.It
42、 can produce much solid carbon. 34.What can we infer from the last paragraph? A.The method will make fossil oil disappear. B.The method will influence the future industry. C.The method will make developed countries more powerful. D.The method will be used to make new vehicles. 35.What is the best ti
43、tle for the passage? A.How to change carbon into CO2. B.A new carbon capture technology. C.A new technology to get useful carbon. D.Australia makes the world cleaner than before. 第二节.七选五 (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。 How to Enjoy Life As a Teen Maybe teens are not the
