New dating techniques suggest the remains of Peking Man—found in the 1920s—are over 200,000 years older than previously thought. What's important about that date, about 770,000 years ago, is that this was an ice age on Earth.‎ Over Earth's long history, there have been a number of times when ice and snow covered a large part of its surface. Such periods are known as ice ages.‎ Earth is in an ice age now. It started about 2 million years ago. Despite the many warm periods since then, scientists regard the whole time as one ice age because of the continuous existence of at least one large ice sheet—the one over Antarctica.‎ The new discovery was made by Chinese and US scientists. It suggests Peking Man is probably our oldest cold weather human being, said Darryl Granger, an atmospheric scientist at Purdue‎ ‎University whose research appears in Thursday's edition of the journal Nature.‎ The average yearly temperature at the time in that part of China was around the freezing mark, but it was too dry for an ice sheet, Granger said.‎ This raises a question. How did Peking Man survive the cold weather?‎ Rick Potts, a Smithsonian Institution human origins expert who wasn't involved in the research, raised three possibilities：‎ First, fire. Early findings showed signs of a fire in Peking Man's cave. But there has been debate about whether the fire was accidental or controlled.‎ Second, fur. There is no evidence that Peking Man used simple tools to make more ‎ formfitting clothes. It's more likely he wore animal fur.‎ Lastly, he may have developed gradually to handle the cold. Peking Man may have experienced physiological changes that allowed more blood to flow to his hands and legs, Potts said. “People in general who live in colder climates tend to be shorter and wider，” he explained.‎ Unlike the times of Peking Man, today the global temperature is rising due to the greenhouse effect. In the future, could humans develop to handle the warmth just as Peking Man did to fight the cold?[来源:z#zs#tep.com]‎ 文章大意：最新研究发现北京人的年代应该是处于冰河世纪，比我们原先的估计早二十万年。‎ ‎1．According to the new research, Peking Man actually dates back to________.‎ A．around 500,000 years ago B．over 200,000 years ago C．about 770,000 years ago D．about 2 million years ago[来源:1ZXXK]‎ 答案：C　细节理解题。由第二段最后一句话“What's important about that date, about 770,000 years ago, is that this was an ice age on Earth.”可知。‎ ‎2．What is the most important standard for scientists to decide an ice age?‎ A．The weather conditions.‎ B．The continuous existence of any large ice sheets.‎ C．The average yearly temperature.‎ D．The long period of snowfall.‎ 答案：B　推理判断题。由第四段第三句话“...scientists regard the whole time as one ice age because of the continuous existence of at least one large ice sheet—the one over Antarctica.”可知。‎ ‎3．Which of the following is TRUE of Peking Man?‎ A．He is the oldest human being.‎ B．He used fire to keep warm.‎ C．He wore formfitting clothes made from fur with simple tools.‎ D．He might have been shorter and wider than previously thought.‎ 答案：D　推理判断题。由倒数第二段“People in general who live in colder climates tend to be shorter and wider”可推知，北京人可能比我们原先预计的要矮胖，这样才能与当时的气候相适应。‎ ‎4．The passage can probably be found in________.[来源:zzstep.com]‎ A．a history textbook ‎ B．a scientific magazine C．a research report ‎ D．an entertainment newspaper 答案：B　推理判断题。由全文文章大意可推知。‎ B ‎(2019·泸州一诊)‎ Gary Kidd had a pretty good idea that what his 3yearold grandson had found was no rock, but the tooth of a woolly mammoth (猛犸)．That's because he had found one himself nine years ago.Kaleb Kidd was catching some squirrels last Monday near La Crosse when he spotted what looked like an unusual rock.‎ ‎“Grandpa, what's that？” Kaleb asked.He told his grandson it looked like the tooth of the extinct (灭绝) woolly mammoth.Next stop was the Mississippi Valley Archaeology Center at the University‎ of ‎Wisconsin, which proved that it was, indeed, the tooth of a mammoth.‎ Connie Arzigian, the center's lab director, said it could be 10,000 to 30,000 years old.It weighs 2 pounds and measures 15 centimeters long and 7.6 centimeters wide.‎ The center already has a woolly mammoth tooth in its collection, but it's always fun to see someone discover another one. Arzigian said.“It's wonderful to get an idea of what was here in the past，” she said.‎ The latest find is in better shape than the one Gary Kidd brought up from the bottom of the Mississippi River while clamming (捕蛤蚧) in 2019.That_tooth was watersoaked and had fallen apart, he was told when he took it to the center.‎ Gary Kidd, 46, said it would be up to Kaleb' s father, Travis, to decide what to do with the tooth.For now it is on display at Satori Arts Gallery, much to Kaleb's sadness.‎ ‎“When we dropped it down at the art gallery, he was crying.He didn't want to let it go，” his granddad said.“At first he thought it was just a rock.Now he's all excited.”‎ 文章大意：一名3岁的小孩在捕捉松鼠时，发现了一枚猛犸化石。在密西西比河流域，这已经不是第一次发现猛犸化石了。[来源:Zxxk.Com]‎ ‎5．In what order did the whole thing happen?‎ a.Kaleb Kidd discovered a tooth of the woolly mammoth.‎ b.The tooth was on display at Satori Arts Gallery.‎ c.Gary Kidd clammed on the Mississippi River.‎ d.Travis will decide what to do with the tooth.[来源:zzstep.com]‎ e.Gary Kidd took his find to the center.‎ A.a; c; b; d; e B.c; e; a; b; d ‎ C.b; d; a; e; c D．c; a; b; d; e 答案：B　细节理解题。综合全文可知，B项顺序正确。‎ ‎6．What can we infer from Connie Arzigian's words?‎ A.The mammoth tooth looks really funny.‎ B.Only two mammoth teeth have been found so far.[来源:Z§xx§k.Com]‎ C.There were some mammoths living there in the past.‎ D.The mammoth tooth in the center is the one found by Gary Kidd.‎ 答案：C　推理判断题。由第四段可知，该地发现猛犸牙齿化石，可以推测过去该地有猛犸生活过。‎ ‎7．Which do the underlined words “That tooth” refer to?‎ A.The latest find.‎ B.Gary Kidd's find.‎ C.Kaleb Kidd's find. ‎ D．The find already in the center.‎ 答案：B　猜测词义题。A、C项指的是同一枚牙齿化石，所以不选；D项可以指代最近的那枚牙齿化石，也可指过去的那枚牙齿化石，所以不选；B项指过去的那枚牙齿化石，符合语境。‎ ‎8．What was Kaleb Kidd's desire?‎ A.Keeping the tooth.‎ B.Selling the tooth to the center.‎ C.Displaying the tooth at the gallery.[来源:中*国教*育出*版网]‎ D.Earning more money through the tooth.‎ 答案：A　细节理解题。由第六段最后一句话和第七段可知，Kaleb Kidd很想保存这枚牙齿化石。‎ ‎9．What does the text mainly talk about?‎ A.Mammoths were extinct long ago.‎ B.A 3yearold boy found a mammoth tooth.‎ C.A mammoth tooth can be worth a lot of money.‎ D.The Mississippi River is a place for study on mammoths.‎ 答案：D　主旨大意题。由全文可知，在密西西比河发现了猛犸的牙齿化石，所以密西西比河是研究猛犸的好地方。‎
