Americans, according to a new theory.
If proved by DNA evidence, the theory will break long established beliefs about the
southerly migration of people who entered America across the Bering Strait, found it
empty and occupied it.
On this theory rests the belief of Native Americans to have been the first true
Americans. They would be classified to the ranks of escapee, beaten to the New World by
Aboriginals (土著人) in boats.
To a European, this may seem like an academic argument, but to Americans it is a
philosophical question about identity, Silvia Gonzales, of Liverpool University said.
Her claims are based on skeletons found in the California Peninsula of Mexico that
have skulls quite unlike the broad Mongolian features of Native Americans. These narrow-
skulled people have more in common with southern Asians, Aboriginal Australians and people
of the South Pacific Region.
The bones, stored at the National Museum of Anthropology (人类学) in Mexico City,
have been carbon-dated and one is 12,700 years old, which places it several thousand
years before the arrival of people from the North. "We think there were several migration
waves into the Americas at different times by different human groups," Dr. Gonzales said.
"The timing, route and point of origin of the first colonization of the Americas remains
a most contentious topic in human evolution."
But comparisons based on skull shape are not considered conclusive by anthropologists,
so a team of Mexican and British scientists, backed by the Natural Environment Research
Council, has also attempted to take out DNA from the bones. Dr. Gonzales declined yesterday
to say exactly what the results were, as they need to be checked, but indicated that they
were consistent (一致) with an Australian origin.
B. Australia
C. South Pacific
D. South Asia
B. the narrow skull shape
C. different features of Aboriginal Australians
D. the same features of Native Americans
B. difficult to solve
C. well-known to all
D. likely to cause argument
B. DNA tests have proved the fact that the first Native Americans came from Australian.
C. Scientists are still not sure about the origin of the Native Americans.
D. People began to enter America across the Bering Strait about 12,700 years ago.
world and the finest example of the late style of Indian architecture (建筑). It is at Agra
in northern India. It lies beside the River Jumna in the middle of gardens with quiet pools.
The Taj Mahal was built by the Mogul emperor (皇帝) Shah Jehan, who ruled India in
the seventeenth century. It is in memory of his favorite wife, Arjumand Banu Bagam, known
as Mumtaz Mahal, who died in 1631. The building, which was completed between 1632 and
1638, was designed by a local Muslim architect (建筑师), Ustad Ahmad Lahori. The whole
building, with gardens and gateway structures, was completed in 1643. The Taj Mahal stands
at one end of the garden tomb with marble (大理石) path. The room is softly lighted by the
light that passes through double screens of carved marble set high in the walls. The
building now is kept in good condition.
The Taj Mahal took 22 years to build. Shah Jehan planned a similar building, but in
black instead of white, to lie on the other side of the river. But before it could be
built, Shah Jehan was imprisoned (监禁) by his son and buried next to his wife in the
Taj Mahal.

的演员阵容), Red Cliff is the most expensive and ambitious Asian-financed film ever. Last
week I saw the release of the second part, and boy oh boy does it shows.
But watching the film as a foreigner I felt I was missing out on something. Not knowing
my Cao Cao"s from my Zhou Yu"s, I was not even sure whom I wanted to win. Certainly after
the opening scene, in which Cao Cao is seen watching a game of Cuju, an ancient Chinese
variation of football, I knew who had my support. After all, any man who enjoys his
football is someone after my own heart. But after Cao Cao resorted to some evil strategies
against his enemies in the south, I wasn"t so sure he was the man I should be rooting for.
And there is a lot more to Red Cliff 2 than just extravagant battle scenes. The film
does not take itself too seriously. Conversations between leaders are littered with one-
liners, many of which had the audience in laughter. There is even enough to keep fans of
more romantic entertainment happy too. This includes a charming relationship between a
southern spy (侦探) and an innocent northern soldier. The characters" interaction provides
some genuinely heart-warming moments in the middle of the battle.
Clocking in at(结束于) around two hours, the film certainly does justice to the
history story. When I walked out the cinema, I felt as drained (精疲力竭) as Cao Cao"s
soldiers must have 1,800 years ago.
B. the film provides amazing and surprising scenes for audience.
C. the film is suitable for younger boys to watch.
D. the film scene is so bloody that boys shouldn"t watch it.
B. When he saw Cao Cao was watching a game of Cuju,
C. When he realized that Cao Cao took some bad measures to beat his enemies.
D. When he saw the romantic love story of Cao Cao and a southern spy.
B. leading roles
C. actors and actress
D. conversations
B. Cuju is the name of an ancient Chinese variation of football
C. the film Red Cliff 2 lasts about two hours
D. the author was very tired after about two hours" battle
Before they left, they asked me for advice about how to find accommodation (住所). I
suggested that they should stay at "bed and breakfast" houses, because this kind of
accommodation gives a foreign visitor a good chance to speak English with the family.
My friends listened to my advice, but they came back with some funny stories.
"We didn"t stay at bed and breakfast houses," they said, "because we found that most
families were away on holiday."
I thought this was strange. Finally I understood what had happened. My friends spoke
little English, and they thought "VACANCIES" meant "holidays", because the Spanish word
for "holidays" is "vacaciones". So they did not go to house where the sign outside said
"VACANCLES", which in English means there are free rooms. Then my friends went to
house where the sign said "NO VACANCLES", because they thought this meant the people
who owned the house were not away on holiday. But they found that these houses were
all full. As a result, they stayed at hotels!
We laughed about this and about mistakes my friends made in reading other signs. In
Spanish, the word "DIVERSION" means fun.In English, it means that workmen are
repairing the road, and that you must take a different road.When my friends saw the word
"DIVERSION" on a road sign, they thought they were going to have fun.Instead, the road
ended in a large hold.
English people have problems too when they learn foreign languages. Once in Paris,
when someone offered me some more coffee, I said "Thank you" in French. I meant that I
would like some more. However, to my surprise, the coffee pot was taken away! Later I
found out that "Thank you" in French means "No, thank you."
B. finding places to stay in England
C. driving their car on English roads
D. going to England by car
B. free rooms
C. not away on holiday
D. holidays
B. wanted them to take the coffee pot away
C. really wanted some more coffee
D. wanted to express my politeness
B. was expecting another cup of coffee
C. meant that I didn"t want any more
D. was never misunderstood
off on snowmobiles to prepare their summer hunting camps have found themselves cut
off from home by a sea of mud. There are also reports of sea ice breaking up earlier than
usual, carrying seals beyond the reach of hunters. Climate change may still be a rather
abstract (抽象的) idea to most of us, but in the Arctic it is already having great effect-
if summertime ice continues to shrink at its present rate, the Arctic Ocean could soon
become almost ice-free in summer. The knock-on effects (连锁反应) are likely to include
more warming, cloudier skies and higher sea levels. Scientists are increasingly eager to find
out what"s going on in the Arctic.
For the Inuit the problem is urgent. They live in unsteady balance with one of the toughest
environments on earth. Climate change, whatever its causes, is a direct danger to their way
of life. Nobody knows the Arctic as well as the locals, which is why they are not content
simply to stand back and let outsider experts tell them what"s happening. In Canada, where
the Inuit people are trying hard to guard their hard-won autonomy (自治权) in the country"s
newest land, Nunavut, they believe their best hope of survival in this changing environment
lies in combining their ancestral (祖先的) knowledge with the best of modern science. This
is a challenge in itself.
The Canadian Arctic is a vast, treeless polar desert that"s covered with snow for most of
the year. Adventure into this area and you get some idea of the hardships facing anyone who
calls this home. Farming is out of the question and nature offers few pickings. Humans first
settled in the Arctic a mere 4,500 years ago, surviving by taking advantage of sea first. The
environment tested them to the limits: sometimes the settlers were successful; sometimes they
failed and disappeared. But around a thousand years ago, one group appeared that was uniquely
well adapted to deal with the Arctic environment. These Thule people moved in from Alaska,
bringing dogs, iron tools and the like. They are the ancestors of today"s Inuit people.
B. Ice-free summer around the Arctic.
C. Lower sea levels.
D. More rainy skies.
B. to do as their ancestors
C. to try to protect the environment from now on
D. to use their ancestral knowledge and modern science
B. it"s hard to farm in the Arctic due to climate change
C. the ancestors of Inuit people stood out among the settlers
D. the Thule people from Alaska invented iron tools
B. Climate Change around the Arctic
C. Global Warming around the World
D. The Inuit and Their Ancestors around the World
