Human beings have used tools for a very long time. In some parts of the world you can still find tools that people used more than two million years ago. They made these tools by hitting one stone against another. In this way, they broke off pieces from one of the stones. These chips of stone were usually sharp on one side. People used them for cutting meat and skin from dead animals, and also for making other tools out of wood.
Human beings needed to use tools because they did not have sharp teeth like other meat eating animals, such as lions and tigers. Tools helped people to get food more easily. Working with tools also helped to develop human intelligence. The human brain grew bigger, and human beings began to invent more and more tools and
machines. The stone chip was one of the first tools that people used, and perhaps it is the most important. Some scientists say that it was the key to success of mankind.?
1. The stone chip is thought to be the most important tool because it ______.
A. was one of the first tools
B. developed human capabilities?
C. led to the invention of machines
D. was crucial to the development of mankind
2. At the end of the passage the author seems to suggest that life in future is ______.
A. disastrous
B. unpredictable
C. exciting
D. colorful
參考答案
1. D) 這是一道細節題。根據文章第二段尾句
“Some scientists say that it was the key to the success of mankind”
可知“stone chip”對於人類的發展起到了非常重要的.作用，這與D正好相符。 2. B) 在文章最後一段中作者說人類在過去的幾百萬年時間 裡一直使用“stone chip”，人類社會發生的變化很小。而我們使用“silicon chips”才不過幾年，生活卻發生了巨大的變化。 於是作者發出了疑問：“二十年後的生活會是什麼樣子的呢?”， “ 二百萬年後的世界又會是什麼樣子呢?”， 表明將來的生活無法預料，這與選項B相符
part 2Glacier National Park in Montana shares boundaries with Canada, an American
Indian reservation, and a national forest. Along the North Fork of the Flathead River, the park also borders about 17,000 acres of private lands that are currently used for ranching, timber, and agriculture. This land is an important part of the habitat and migratory routes for several endangered species that frequent the park. These private lands are essentially the only ones available for development in the region.
With encouragement from the park, local landowners initiated a land use planning effort to guide the future of the North Fork. The park is a partner in an inter local agreement that calls for resource managing agencies to work together and with the more than 400 private owners in the area. A draft plan has been prepared, with
objective of maintaining traditional economic uses but limiting new development that would damage park resources. Voluntary action by landowners, in cooperation with the park and the county, is helping to restrict small lot subdivisions, maintain wildlife corridors, and minimize any harmful impact on the environment.
The willingness of local landowners to participate in this protection effort may have been stimulated by concerns that congress would impose a legislative solution. Nevertheless, many local residents want to retain the existing character of the area. Meetings between park officials and landowners have led to a dramatically improved understanding of all concerns.
1. The passage mainly discusses______.
A. the endangered species in Glacier National Park
B. the protection of lands surrounding Glacier National Park
C. conservation laws imposed by the state of Montana
D. conservation laws imposed by Congress
2. Why are the private lands surrounding Glacier National Park so important?
A. They function as a hunting preserve.
B. They are restricted to government use.
C. They are heavily populated.
D. They contain natural habitats of threatened species.
3. The relationship between park officials and neighboring landowners may best be described as______.
A. indifferent
B. intimate?
C. cooperative
D. disappointing
4. It can be inferred from the passage that a major interest of the officials of Glacier National Park is to______.
A. limit land development around the park
B. establish a new park in Montana
C. influence national legislation
D. settle border disputes with Canada
答案解析：
1、B) 這是一道主旨題。通過閱讀文章可知，為了保護冰川國家公園的瀕危物種和資源，公園當局和地方土地所有者制訂了限制土地使用計劃，故答案為B。
2. D) 這是一道細節題。根據第一段第三句“This land is an important part of the habitat and migratory routes for several endangered species that frequent the park.”(這片土地是非常重要的，因為這裡是幾種經常光顧此公園的瀕危物種的棲息地和遷徙路線。)可知選項D為正確答案。
3. C) 根據第二段可知，公園當局和地方土地所有者密切合作來保護資源，因此他們的關係是"cooperative" (合作性的)。
4. A) 這是一道推理題。根據第二段第三句和閱讀全文，我們很容易就可以得到這樣一個資訊：為了保護自然資源和瀕危物種，公園管理者限制那些會破壞資源的土地開發。因此選項A為正確答案。
