17、 easy, and you can do it for as little or as long as you like, with no login or signup required. What you are doing is micro-volunteering, which offers volunteers a series of easy tasks that can be done anytime, anywhere, on their own terms.Micro-volunteering could involve anything from retweeting a
18、 message to joining a flash mob(快闪). Volunteers dont need to go through an application or training process, or to make any ongoing commitment. The vast majority of micro-volunteering takes place online, but it doesnt have to. Weeding a garden in a local community center counts just as much.The key b
19、enefit of micro-volunteering is its flexibility. People frequently cite their lack of time as the biggest barrier to volunteering. For many, micro-volunteering removes the need to worry about making long-term commitments once they start volunteering. It enables people who might lose interest in trad

25、ll (颅骨) found in Africa suggests that the human family might be that old. Discovered in 2001 in the desert of Chad, the skull was nicknamed Toumai by scientists. Toumai is a rare find. The skull is nearly complete and it even includes a few teeth. The Toumai skull is estimated to be between 6 and 7
26、million years old. Scientists are debating whether the skull is linked to humans.The finding is not without controversy. Some scientists think that Toumai is the oldest known hominid (人科), or primitive human ancestor, ever found. Others say Toumai is an ape. Most hominids that scientists are aware o
27、f lived millions of years after Toumai. The most famous one is called Lucy. She lived in Ethiopia about 3.5 million years ago.

They thought hominids turned into humans step by step overtime. Scientists marked those changes on a timeline starting with a chimpanzee-like ancestor and endi

Instead, the timeline might be like a tree with lots of branches. Different species in different places c
30、ould have evolved human-like features at different times.Scientists arent sure where exactly Toumai belongs on our family tree. Toumai could be like a great-great grandfather or just a distant cousin. Toumai could also be one of many types of hominids who wandered Earth millions of years ago.12What
31、can be inferred about the skull found in Africa?AIt is connected with humans.BIt was named after a scientist.CIt may be the oldest chimpanzee.DIt is almost complete and unusual.13What does the underlined word “controversy” in paragraph 3 mean?APromotion.BCooperation.CArgument.DProspect.14How could h
