29、23（8分） DNA analysis has revealed family relationships between more than 10 generations of Stone Age people at megalithic (巨石的) tombs in Ireland and Sweden.The evidence suggests that megaliths, prehistoric large stone structures, sometimes acted as graves for family groups in northwestern Europe thou

30、sands of years ago. The latest findings throw new light on the origins and social structure of the groups that built megaliths in this regiona history that has long been hidden in mystery.For their study, the international team of researchers analyzed the genomesthe complete set of genetic material

31、in a cellof 24 Stone Age individuals from five megalithic burial sites in Ireland, Scotland and 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 BCand 2,600 BC, according to radiocarbon-dating of

32、their remains, were closely related via family ties.The results also showed that the individuals 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

33、island of Gotland. “The people buried in the Ansarve tomb are remarkably different on a 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 roo

34、ts in the European Neolithic expansion,” Magdalena Fraser, co-first author from Uppsala University, said in the statement.1、Whats the significance of the new findings?AIt reveals the family ties between people in Ireland and Sweden.BIt implies that many people buried in the tombs were closely relate

35、d.CIt indicates the long-hidden mystery concerning DNA analysis.DIt suggests that the megaliths became tombs thousands of years ago.2、How did the researchers reach their findings?ABy interviewing individuals.BBy travelling to different regions.CBy analyzing genes.DBy studying the burial sites.3、Whic

36、h is true according to the latest findings?ASome people buried in the tombs were related to farmers.BFew people buried in the tombs were genetically different.CAll the people buried at megaliths had family relationships.DPeople buried in the Ansarve tomb were dug out 700 years later.4、Whats the main

37、 idea of this passage?AMegaliths served as tombs thousands of years ago.BPeople buried at the megaliths were recently analyzed.CLatest findings shed light on a mystery about burials.DStone-Age people in Ireland and Sweden had close ties.24（8分）Flaubert had it that “one way of tolerating existence is

38、to lose oneself in literature as in an unending party”It turns out that reading doesnt only help us to tolerate existence，but actually lengthens it.A recent study by Yale University researchers，published online in the journal Social Science & Medicine，concluded that “book readers experienced a 20 pe

39、rcent reduction in the risk of death over the 12 years of followup compared to nonreaders”The data was obtained from the study sponsored by the National Institute on Aging.The study looked at 3,635 subjects，all older than 50，whom the researchers divided into three groups：those who didnt read books，t

40、hose who read up to 3.5 hours a week and those who read more than 3.5 hours a week.The findings were remarkable：on average，book readers survived almost two years longer than those who didnt crack open a book.The more the subjects read，the longer they lived，but as little as 30 minutes a day was still

41、 beneficial in terms of survival.Accounting for factors such as education level，income and health status，the study found that those who read more than 3.5 hours weekly were 23 percent less likely to die during that 12year period.Those who read up to 3.5 hoursan average of a half hour a daywere 17 pe

42、rcent less likely.“In other words，just like a healthy diet and exercise，books appear to promote a significant survival advantage，” the authors concluded.Why or how thats_the_case remains unclear；the research showed only an association between book reading and longevity，not a causal relationship.But

43、the findings are not so surprising.Other recent research showed that reading novels appears to increase both brain connectivity and sympathy.1、Why does the author mention Flauberts words in the first paragraph?ATo stress the value of reading.BTo compare reading with a party.CTo introduce the study o

44、n reading.DTo support the findings of the study.2、From the text，what can we learn about the study?ANo similar study on reading has been carried out.BThe process of the study lasted more than ten years.CIt shows readers live two years longer than nonreaders.DIt shows time spent on reading increases o

45、nes love for it.3、What do the underlined words“thats the case”probably mean?AReading books enables people to live longer.BReading is similar to a healthy diet and exercise.CReading books is closely associated with longevity.DReading increases brain connectivity and sympathy.4、Where can we most proba

An

47、d her post about the powerful lesson has gone viral.Rosie Dutton explained that during one of her classes she introduced the children to two red apples. What the kids didnt know was that before the lesson, Dutton had repeatedly dropped one of the apples on the floor. And yet, on the outside at least

48、, both apples looked perfect. I picked up the apple Id dropped on the floor and started to tell the children how I disliked this apple, and that I thought it was disgusting, it was a horrible colour and the stem was just too short, Dutton wrote.She then encouraged the students to do the same. Some o

49、f the children looked at her like she was “crazy”, but the students passed the apple around the circle, calling it names.Continuing the exercise, the teacher then passed the second apple around the circle. This apple, however, was showered with comments like: “Your skin is beautiful, and what a beau

50、tiful colour you are.Dutton then showed the students both apples once again, highlighting that there was no change, both apples still looked the same.That is, until she cut them open. The apple wed said unkind words to was bruised and all mushy(糊状的) inside, she said.There was, she said, an immediate

51、 light bulb moment for her students. They really got it. What we saw inside that apple, the bruises, the mush and the broken bits is what is happening inside every one of us when someone mistreats us with their words or actions.Dutton explained how important it is to teach children to stand up for o

52、ne another, and to stop any form of bullying.“Lets create a generation of kind caring children,” the teacher wrote. “The tongue has no bones, but is strong enough to break a heart. So be careful with your words.”1、What had the teacher done to the first apple before the lesson?AShe had introduced it

54、e?ADrop it BPraise itCIgnore it DObserve it4、Whats the purpose of the teachers using two apples in class?ATo draw the kids attentionBTo explain her personal preferencesCTo make a comparison between themDTo help the kids understand the results of bullying第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节）第一节（每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各
