richest collections of early-human fossils ever found has been taken out of an african cave,thanks to the efforts of a team of scientists small enough to fit through ancient narrow ways.the fossils,discovered in the dark places of the rising star cave in south africa,belong to a new species that appeared at the beginning of the family that includes modern humans.the fossils could be more than 2.5 million years old.or they could be relatively recent.homo sapiens(智人) appeared in africa roughly 200,000 years ago,so the bones are at least that old.the new species is a strange mixture of parts.it had hands and feet much like those of other members of the biological group called homo,which includes our own specieshomo sapiens.its brain,though,was only about as big as an orange.the rising star ancient humans could control objects with their hands,but their highly curved(彎曲的) fingers also made them good climbers.their homo-like feet and long legs show they could walk long distances,but their shoulders are also suited for climbing.the researchers call them homo naledi,after the word for “star” in the african language sotho.the first slight knowledge of the more than 1,550 bits of fossils,representing at least 15 individuals,came from cavers helping a researcher to look for ancient remains.one place leading to the fossil room is just over seven inches wideless than the width of a sheet of notebook paper.it took a team including six female scientists,chosen for their small size and research experience,to get the fossils.the scientists believe that the bodies were deliberately placed in the cave.it suggests that ancient long-ago human relatives became involved in ritual(儀式的) disposals of their dead.1.what do we know about the rising star ancient humans?a.they were very good at climbing.b.they could only walk short distances.c.they couldnt use objects well with hands.d.they had the same size of brains as that of modern humans.答案:a解析:細節(jié)理解題。由第四段可知,他們能用手操控物體,但是他們彎曲的手指也使得他們擅長攀爬。他們的腳和長腿表明他們能走遠路。再由第三段“its brain,though,was only about as big as an orange”可知,d項錯。2.what was the problem the scientists faced after discovering the fossil room?a.how to protect the fossils.b.how to recognize the fossils.c.how to reach for the fossils in it.d.how to persuade cavers to leave it.答案:c解析:推理判斷題。由第五段“one place leading to the fossil room is just over seven inches wideless than the width of a sheet of notebook paper.”可推知,如何夠得著那些古化石是個難題。3.we can infer from the text that .a.the exact age of the fossils in the rising star cave is unknownb.the fossils in the rising star cave belong to a new speciesc.the fossils in the rising star cave were the richest ever foundd.the rising star ancient humans dealt with their dead at random答案:a解析:推理判斷題。由第二段可知,這些化石的具體年齡還不確定。六、語篇填空(2016廣東揭陽高三二模)mike was dying to apply for a new job,but he was unconfident of himself,for he thought of himself as a 1.(fail) and unworthy of success.he
