11、ct of human evolution. According to Bramble and Lieberman, Professors at the University of Utah, humans possess a number of features that make them surprisingly good runners. “We are confident that the selection for running was important in the origin of the human body form,” says Bramble.Traditiona

12、l thinking has been that humans are poor runners compared to such animals as horses. However, this is only true if we consider running at high speed, especially over short distances. Even an athlete can hardly run as quickly as a horse does, and can only keep up a top speed for 15 seconds or so. But

13、 when it comes to long-distance running, humans will do astonishingly well. They can keep a steady pace for many kilometres, and their speed is at least at the same level with that of horses.Bramble and Lieberman examined 26 parts of human bodies. One of the most interesting of these is the nuchal l

14、igament (韧带). When we run, it is this ligament that prevents our head from moving back and forth or from side to side. Therefore, we are able to run with steady heads, held high. Then there are Achilles tendons at the backs of our legs, forming the mechanical links between the muscles to the bones.

15、They act like strong strings and help to push us forward when we run. Besides, we have low, wide shoulders, a development which allows us to run more effectively. Add to this our light forearms, which swing in co-operation with the movement of our legs to assist balance, and one begins to appreciate

16、 the point that Bramble and Lieberman are trying to make.But what advantage is gained from being good long-distance runners? One theory is that this ability may have permitted early humans to obtain food more effectively. Some scientists guess that early humans may have run after animals for great d

17、istances to make them tired before killing them. Running would also have shown another advantage: early humans might have eaten the meat left over from a kill by other large animals. They may have been warned of the existence of a freshly killed animal by vultures (秃鹰), and the faster they got to th

18、e scene of the kill, the better.“Research on the history of human ability of running has traditionally been controversial,” says Lieberman. “At the very least, I hope this theory will make many people have second thoughts about how humans learned to run and why we are built the way we are.”38. In Pa

23、etres, and their speed is at least at the same level with that of horses.”可知，但是，当谈到长跑，人类将会做得惊人地好。他们可以稳定地跑许多公里，速度至少和马一样快。所以判断出，第二段主要告诉我们人类是长距离奔跑的好手。故B选项正确。【39题详解】推理判断题。由第三段“Then there are Achilles tendons at the backs of our legs, forming the mechanical links between the muscles to the bones. They ac

24、t like strong strings and help to push us forward when we run.”可知，在我们的腿后面有跟腱，形成肌肉和骨骼之间的机械联系。当我们奔跑时，它们就像强大的琴弦，帮助我们前进。所以判断出第三段主要告诉我们肌腱使人类适于奔跑。故A选项正确。【40题详解】推理判断题。由第四段“Some scientists guess that early humans may have run after animals for great distances to make them tired before killing them. Running

25、would also have shown another advantage: early humans might have eaten the meat left over from a kill by other large animals. They may have been warned of the existence of a freshly killed animal by vultures (秃鹰), and the faster they got to the scene of the kill, the better.”可知，一些科学家猜测，早期的人类可能在捕杀动物之前，为了让它们疲劳而追逐了它们很远的距离。跑步也会
