20、Earth .For most of its history, life on Earth was Restricted to the sea .Living things began to populate the land slightly over 400 million years ago ,And humans have existed for no more than 3 million years .Ones way to represent the evolution of life is to computer the 4.6-billion year history of

21、earth into a 1-year long film. In such a film Earth forms as the films begins on January 1,and through all of January and February it cools and is cratered (变成坑状) and the first oceans form .But those oceans remain lifeless until sometime in March or early April ,when the first living things develop.

22、The 4-billion year history of Precambrian (前寒武纪) evolution lasts until the film reaches mid-November ,when primitive ocean life begins to evolve into complex organisms such as trilobites(三叶虫).If we examine the land instead of the oceans, we find a lifeless waste. But once our film shows plant and an

23、imal life on the land, about November 28, evolution proceeds rapidly. Dinosaurs, for example, appear about December 12 and vanish by Christmas Eve, as mammals(哺乳动物) and birds flourish.Throughout the 1-year-run of our film there are no humans, and even during the last days of the year as the mammals

24、rise and dominate the landscape, there are no people. In the early evening of December 31,vaguely human forms move through the grasslands, and by late evening they begin making stone tools. The Stone Age lasts until about 11:45 pm, and the first signs of civilization, towns and cities, do not appear

29、D. right on the New Years DayPassage Four Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage :Internet-addicted job seekers may be partly the cause of the fact that it is taking the unemployed 23% longer to find a new position than it took during the last recession (经济萧条)，when the “benefits” of o

30、nline job searching were unavailable. “A growing number of unemployed Americans waste time browsing(浏览) the estimated 4,000 to 5,000 online job sites, filling them with resumes and then waiting for replies .It is common for long-time joblessness,” argues Professor John A. Challenger .Although the In

31、ternet has the potential to be very useful for job seekers and it has become the primary tool for many ,Challenger believes that it should be considered secondary to the traditional technique of meeting would-be employers in person .In addition to slowing job search efforts, the Internet is making t

32、he hiring process longer for the employer. In a survey of 5,000hiring managers by an online rsum site ,72% said that a majority of the rsum they received in response to an online job posting did not match the positions description.“The more unrelated rsum managers have to go through in order to sele

33、ct the few to bring in for interviews, the longer it takes to fill the position ,”points out Challenger .”One result of this has been the increased use of screening software by employers .This will make it even more difficult for job seekers to get their resumes in front of the hiring executive for

34、an interview .”“All of this is not to say that the Internet has not revolutionized job hunting. It has certainly made it easier for someone in San Francisco ,for example ,to search for job openings in Miami. In addition, the ability to conduct keyword searches has reduced the amount of time it takes

35、 to find the type of position a person is seeking.”“Job seekers must learn how to use the Internet as a tool ,rather than just relying on it as a means for submitting electronic resumes.” Concludes Challenger.16.According to the passage, the coming of online job searching brings_-A. longer waiting t

36、ime for the unemployedB. longer computer technology training for the job seekersC. more unemployment throughout the U.S.AD. more job opportunities in the Internet world17.Professor Challenger thinks _should be considered more important by the unemployed.A. browsing the Internet job sitesB. sending r
