sight of Zhou Mingsheng at work.A field technician who has worked at archaeological sites all aroundChina.Master Zhou iscredited with the gentlest touch in his profession.Born into a farming family,he is a“national-level craftsman”with a talent for using simple tools to get relics(遗物)that wouldcrumblein other hands,says his current boss,Wang Xu,director of an archaeological site at Shuanghuaishu,a Neolithic(新石器时代的)settlement near the Yellow River in the central province of Henan.It is not beauty that attracts visitors to Shuanghuaishu.At 5,300 years old,the settlement is the work of a culture too simple to have left behind many buried treasures.The single most precious find,to date,is a finger-length sculpture of a silkworm.Nor is the setting lovely:an area surrounded by deafening insects,between a highway and two power stations.Rather,the sites importance is historical.For since the birth of Chinese archaeology in the 1920s,it has been inseparable from claims thatChinahas the oldest unbroken civilisation on Earth.Leading archaeologists say that the site has the right combination of location,age and distinctive cultural elements to be the capital of an early Chinese kingdom.That would make it a bridge betweenChinas written history and the era of the Yellow Emperor,who is said to rule over these central plains almost 5,000 years ago,though many foreign scholars doubt his existence.Chinese media call the site proof ofChinas 5,000 years of history.Foreigners complain about a lack of written records,Mr.Wang notes.Perhaps they are missing symbols that will one day be understood,for instance in patterned pottery.Outsiders“cant keep using Western standards to apply to Chinese ruins,”he argues.4.What does the underlined word“crumble”in Paragraph 1 mean?A.Break.B.Start.C.Wait.D.Shine.5.Why does Shuanghuaishu attract visitors?A.It has appealing scenery.B.It has various precious treasures.C.It is of great historical significance.D.It is easily accessible.6.What is Mr.Wangs attitude towards foreigners view?A.Unconcern.B.Disapproving.C.Supportive.D.Not mentioned.7.What does the passage mainly talk about?A.Chinese history amazes the world.B.Chinese archaeology catches on.C.China follows its tradition.D.Chinadigs its past.C Popularization has in some cases changed the original meaning of emotional(情感的)intelligence.Many people now misunderstand emotional intelligence as almost everything desirable in a persons makeup that cannotbe measured by an IQ test,such as character,motivation,confidence,mental stability,optimism and“people skills.”Research has shown that emotional skills may contribute to some of these qualities,but most of them move far beyond skill-based emotional intelligence.We prefer to describe emotional intelligence as a specific set of skills that can be used for either good or bad purposes.The ability to accurately understand how others are feeling may be used by a doctor to find how best to help her patients,while a cheater might use it to control potential victims.Being emotionally intelligent does not necessarily make one a moral person.Although popular beliefs regarding emotional intelligence run far ahead of what research can reasonably support,the overall effects of the publicity have been more beneficial than harmful.The most positive aspect of this popularization is a new and much needed emphasis(重视)on emotion by employers,educators and others interested in promoting social well-being.The popularization of emotional intelligence has helped both the public and researchers re-evaluate the functionality of emotions and how they serve people adaptively in everyday life.Although the continuing popular appeal of emotional intelligence is desirable,we hope that such attention will excite a greater interest in the scientific and scholarly study of emotion.It is our hope that in coming decades,advances in science will offer new perspectives(视角)from which to study how people manage their lives.Emotional intelligence,with its focus on both head and heart,may serve to point us in the right direction.8.What is a common misunderstanding of emotional intelligence?A.It can be measured by anIQ test.B.It helps to exercise a persons mind.C.It includes a set of emotional skills.D.It refers to a persons positive qualities.9.Why does the author mention“doctor”and“cheater”in paragraph 2?A.To explain a rule.B.To clarify a concept.C.To present a fact.D.To make a prediction.10.What is the authors attitude to the popularization of emotional intelligence?A.Favorable.B.Intolerant.C.Doubtful.D.Unclear.11.What does the last paragraph mainly talk about concerning emotional intelligence?A.Its appeal to the public.B.Expectations for future studies.C.Its practical application.D.Scientists with new perspectives.D Six Neanderthals who lived in what is now France were eaten by their fellow Neanderthals some 100,000 years ago,according to fearful evidence of the cannibalistic(食人的)event discovered by scientists in a cave in the 1990s.Now,researchersmay have figured out why the Neanderthals,including two children,became victims of cannibalism:Global warming.While previous studies have examined Neanderthal remains to find proof of cannibalistic behavior,this is the first study to offer clues as to what may have led Neanderthals to become cannibals.Scientists found that rapid changes in local ecosystems as the planet warmed may have wiped out the animal species that Neanderthals ate,forcing them to look elsewhere to fill their stomachs.The researchers examined a layer of sediment(沉积物)in a cave known as Baume Moula-Guercy,in southeastern France.In that layer,charcoal(碳)and animal bones were so well-preserved that scientists could reconstruct an environmental picture representing 120,000 to 130,000 years ago.They discovered that the climate in the area was likely even warmer than it is today,and that the change from a cold,dry climate to a warmer one happened quickly.“Maybe within a few generations”,study co-author Emmanuel said.As the animals that once populated the landscape disappeared,some Neanderthals ate what they could find their neighbors.Cannibalism is by no means unique to Neanderthals,and has been practiced by humans and their s“from the early Palaeolithic to theBronze Age and beyond,”the study authors reported.The behavior adopted by the starving Neanderthals in the Baume Moula-Guercy should therefore not be viewed as“a mark of bestiality(兽性)or sub-humanity”,but as an emergency adaptation to a period of severe environmental stress,according to the study.12.What does the study mainly focus on?A.The social behavior of Neanderthals.B.The reason for cannibalism among Neanderthals.C.The climate change in southeasternFrance.D.The influence of global warming on ancient animals.13.What can possibly be used to describe the climate in southeasternFrance120,000 to 130,000 years ago?A.It was no warmer than it is today.B.It was first warm while later cold and dry.C.Its change was mild and went through quite a long process.D.Its change is a chief factor contributing to cannibalism.14.Which of the following might the study authors agree with?A.Neanderthals cannibalism showed their bestiality.B.Cannibalism was actually a measure the Neanderthals had to adopt to survive.C.Neanderthals cannibalism guaranteed their rule over other tribes.D.Only Neanderthals were found to have cannibalism in human history.15.Where can you most possibly find this passage?A.In a science journal.B.In a travel brochure.C.In a history book.D.In a geography book.第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项 What is lifes greatest gift?It
