10、breaks my heart whenever I see answer sheets - basic grammar skills are missing and theres an absence of any cohesive (连贯性的) expression. They lack guidance and reading culture is almost zero,” Meena said. When her school and the centre she ran had to close due to infectious diseases, she planned to

11、do something to address the problem.Inspired by a similar proposal in Mizoram, Meena set up a bookshelf with around 80 books as well as some benches on the side of the road in Nirjuli on August 30th, 2020, where passers- by could spend time reading. The selections included motivational books, biogra

12、phies and novels as well as comics for young children. “I have to please the minors with sweets to sit and read, but that is okay,” she laughed.Meenas bookshelf became a hit among youngsters who spent hours in the reading corner.

13、s contributions of books come in from the public and she is even receiving requests to set up such libraries in other parts of the state, including one in the capital, Itana-gar.

New Ideas about Setting a Reading PlanCWhile we know that language first appeared among Homo sapiens (智人) somewhere thousands of years ago, the secret to how language evolved is st

18、ill unknown, and mainstream theories fall into two distinctly different camps.One widely held theory is that language came about as an evolutionary adaptation. That was where the idea of natural selection came into play, which was the belief that the specific physical features of a population made t

19、hat population more likely to survive its environment, like the turtle (海龟) and its shell. On one hand, humans needed to communicate with each other in order to hunt，farm and defend themselves successfully from the surrounding severe environment. Being able to communicate by using language gave the

20、human species a distinct survival advantage. On the other hand, language was needed for social interaction, according to those who subscribed to the adaptation theory.In their paper “Natural Language and Natural Selection,” researchers Steven Pinker and Paul Bloom theorized that a series of calls or

21、 gestures evolved over time into combinations, giving us complex communication, or language. As things became more complicated around them，humans needed a more complex system to convey information to one another. Early man saw a group of deer he wanted to hunt. He made a sound to his hunting partner

22、 that means “deer are nearby.” One day,a storm came in and the hunter noticed that thunder scared the deer away. As a result, the hunter went hungry until the storm passed. Over time, the same hunter also learned to recognize the warning signs for bad weather- -dark skies and increased wind. Early m

23、an realized that when the sky darkened and the wind picked up, he needed to tell his hunting partner to speed up the pursuit of the deer. Therefore, he came up with a series of sounds that refer to both the deer and the bad weather.That series of sounds was the beginning of an evolutionary adaptatio

24、n that eventually became language.As humans learned more about how to best survive, they developed a need to convey these survival methods to their population. To be brief, that s the adaptation theory.8. What is the text mainly about?A. The evolution of language.B. The paper on natural selection.C.

25、 The differences between theories.D. The introduction to human reproduction.9. Why are the turtle and its shell mentioned in paragraph 2? A. To show the mystery of nature.B. To support the evolutionary adaptation.C. To stress the advantage of the turtle s shell.D. To encourage people to study natura

26、l selection.10. How does the author explain the adaptation theory in paragraph 3?A. By comparing.B. By listing data.C. By carrying out a survey.D. By giving an example.11. What will the author most probably tell us next?A. The exact place where humans came from.B. The other theory of how language ev

27、olved.C. The reasons why animals cannot form language.D. The methods of humans shaping non- verbal thinking.DA cheap printed sensor could transmit wildfire warnings. Wildfires have recently destroyed regions across the world, and their gravity is increasing. Hoping to reduce harm, researchers led by

28、 Yapei Wang，a Chinese chemist of Renmin University, say they have developed an inexpensive sensor to detect such fires earlier with less effort.Current detection methods rely heavily on human watchfulness, which can delay an effective response. Most wildfires are reported by the general public, and

29、other alerts come from routine foot patrols and watchtower observers. Passing planes and satellites also occasionally spot something，but “the fire first appears on the ground,” Wang says. “When you see the fire from the sky, it is too late.” The team says its new sensor can be placed near tree trunk

30、s bases and send a wireless signal to a nearby receiver if there is a dramatic temperature increase. That heat also powers the sensor itself, without replacing batteries. The team printed the substances onto ordinary paper to create a sensor for just $ 0.40.But improving coordination among the diffe

31、rent agencies involved in firefighting is even more crucial to address, says Graham Kent, an earthquake expert at the University of Nevada, Reno, who was not part of the study. Kent is director of ALERTWildfire, a network that uses cameras and crowd sourcing to watch for fires in California, Nevada

32、and Oregon. “The whole way that you respond to a fire until its put out is like a ballet,” he says. “Youd have to choreograph (设计) it just so, with resources precisely allocated at the right time and place from detection to confirmation to assignment to extinguishment (熄灭). Fire detection is just st

33、ep one.”Wang says his teams next steps are to extend the devices signal range beyond the current 100 meters, which can limit practical use, and to develop a protective shield for it. The Transmitters effectiveness, he notes, will also need to be tested in the field ahead.12. What does the underlined

34、 word “gravity” in paragraph 1 probably mean?A. Pull.B. Extinction.C. Popularity. D. Seriousness.13. What do we know about the sensor?A. Its price remains high.B. Its batteries are replaceable.C. It can reduce firefighters pain.D. It can detect fires earlier and easier.14. What does Kent mean in par

35、agraph 4?A. Firefighting is easy but crucial.B. Technology is the key to extinguishing a fire.C. Putting out a fire is a cooperative and orderly activity.D. The resources of fire detection are precisely allocated.15. Whats the plan for the new sensor according to Wang?A. Limiting its use.B. Reducing
