companions to the early settlers of North America over 10,000 years ago.The oldest domestic dogs in the Americas were thought to be around 9500 years old.Angela Perri of DurhamUniversity,UK,and her colleagues have carried out fresh radiocarbon dating on the two dog skeletons that gave thisdate,discovered in the prehistoric Koster site in Illinois,and found they were even older:around 10,100 years old.A third dog from another Illinois site called Stilwell II was older stilb at 10,190 years old.That makes it the oldestknown domesticated dog in the Americas.The team concluded that all three dogs were domesticated as their skeletons were complete and unskinned,and sohadnt been butchered fbr food.They had also been carefolly buried,evidence they were valued by their owners.TheStilwell II dog,which probably resembled a small English settler,was under what seemed to be the floor of a living area.It is unclear why it took so long for tame dogs to arrive in the Americas,given that they were domesticated at least14,000 years ago in Eurasia.By this time,people were already moving into North America from Siberia;there isevidence some reached Chile 18,500 years ago.Geneticists have found signs of at least three waves of migration over thefollowing millennia.There is no evidence that domestic dogs accompanied them.“Wc dont know if dogs were part of the first waves of immigration to the Americas“says Luc Janssens of GhentUniversity in Belgium.uIt could be so,but no archaeological bones have yet been found.”It is overwhelmingly probable”that some of the early settlers did bring dogs to the Americas,but they may nothave had the time or the spiritual compulsion to bury them%says Pat Shipman of Pennsylvania State University.1、How old is the oldest known domestic dog in the Americas?A.About 9500 years.B.About 10,100 years.C.10,190 years.D.18,500 years.2、The underlined word butchered”in the fourth paragraph could be replaced by.A.killed B.boughtC.trained D.raised3、What is the attitude towards when tame dogs arrived in the Americas in the last three paragraphs?A.Undoubted.B.Unsure.C.Indifferent.D.Unconfident.4、What is the main topic of this passage?A.The earliest domestic dog in the Americas.B.The first dog arriving in the Americas.C.How dogs were domesticated in the Americas.D.When the oldest dog was found in the Americas.22.（8 分）The most anticipated films of

population.However;that is not the case at Mozambiques Gorongosa National Park,where an astonishing 33percent of female elephants born after the countrys civil war ended in 1992 are tuskless.While that may appear to bejust a coincidence,Joyce Poole,an elephant behavior expert,has another theory.The researcher thinks we may bewitnessing unnatural evolution of the species due to the constant hunting of elephants for valuable ivory.Poole says before the countrys 15-year-long civil war,the 100,000acre park was home to over 4,000 elephants.However,by the time the conflict ended in 1992,about 90 percent of them had been killed for ivory to help financeweapons（武器）and meat to feed the soldiers.Of the less than 200 survivors,over 50 percent of adult females had notusks.Therefore,it is not surprising that the parks tuskless elephant population has grown greatly.This is not the first time researchers have observed a great change in the population of elephants.At ZambiasSouth Luangwa National Park and Lupande Game Management Area,_ areas which were heavily hunted in the 1970sand 1980s,35%of elephants 25 years or older and 13%of those younger than 25 are now without tusks.A 2008 studypublished in the African Journal of Ecology found that the number of tuskless females at the Ruaha National Park inTanzania went from 10.5 percent in 1969 to almost 40 percent in 1989,largely due to illegal hunting for ivory.The recent ban on ivory in both the US and China should help get rid of,or at least reduce,elephant hunting.However,scientists are not sure how long it will take for elephants with a higher rate of tuskless females,to change thetrend.1、What is the probable cause of the phenomenon mentioned in Paragraph 1?A.Illegal hunting.B.Constant farming.C.A pure coincidence.D.Natural evolution.2、Why did people kill so many elephants during the civil war in Mozambique?A.To get funds by selling ivory.B.To develop new weapons.C.To provide food for local people.D.To make ivory products.3、Which of the following had the earliest record on tuskless elephants?A.Gorongonsa National Park.B.South Luangvva National Park.C.The Ruaha National Park.D.Lupande Game Management Area.4、What does the underlined phrase“the trend9,in the last paragraph refer to?A,Elephants facing greater danger.B.Elephants growing more slowly.C.Fewer female elephants staying alive.D.More female elephants being tuskless.24.（8 分）A young man returns to his hometown of Aractataca,Colombia.He visits the house where he lived asa child.Here,he remembers the most important

on the International Space Station（ISS）may soon be able to turn their used forks and knivesinto tools and satellite parts.Tethers Unlimited Inc.,an aerospace technology company,has developed a system that combines a waste recyclingmachine with a 3D printer.Astronauts will put waste items made of plastic into the recycling machine,called the Poistrusion Recycler.When theypress a button,the Recycler will melt down the plastic and turn it into 3D filament（长丝）.The filament will e used in a 3D printer on the ISS-called the Refabricator-to make tools,spare parts and satellitecomponents.The waste will come from packaging materials,food containers,trays and eating utensils（器具）used on the ISS.Astronaut currently use disposable wet wipes to clean their food containers and utensils.The used wipes are stored astrash（垃圾）,and replacement wipes must be sent up to the ISS on cargo missions.By recycling old food containers and utensils,astronauts will reduce the amount of trash they produce.To get rid oftrash from the ISS,astronaut load it into empty cargo capsules（航天舱）and release it into space.The capsules burn upwhen they enter Earths atmosphere.Turning trash into useful new items will also help NASA save money because astronauts will need fewer supplies.Itcosts about$6,000 for every kilogram launched into orbit.These benefits will be even more important for longermissions in the future-such as the two-year journey to Mars.Astronauts will be able to recycle old waste materials intonew tools and parts as they need them.Tethers have successfully tested the systems in its laboratory.They will test it on the ISS in late 2018.The company isalso developing a version of the system for use here on Earth.1、What material are the forks and knives for astronauts made of?A.Gold.B.IronC.Plastic.D.Wood.2、At present,the astronauts mainly get supplies by.A.3D printers B.reusing the old onesC.collecting from the space D.the capsules launched from the earth3、What can the new technology help the astronauts do?A.Reuse the trash.B.Send the trash to Mars.C.Take the trash to the earth.D.Load the trash into empty capsules and throw it away.4 What is the biggest benefit of the new technology mentioned in the text?A.It can save some space for the ISS.B.It can gave more time for the astronauts.C.It can provide more conditions to explore space.D.It can help to reduce the journey from Earth to Mars.第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节）第 一
