阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

Indra Nooyi is one of the most famous company leaders in the world, never far from the top of any ranking of powerful women. She has been chief executive of PepsiCo since 2006, but has effectively been helping to drive its strategy since 2001, when she became president and chief financial officer for the group.
Born in Chennai, India, Nooyi took an MBA at the Indian Institute of Management in Kolkata, and worked for two years for Johnson & Johnson in Mumbai, before crossing the Atlantic.
“All I had was $500 and a scholarship from Yale,”she says.“I had the immigrant feeling, arriving in the US in 1978: I had to do an extra-good job — if it didn’
t work out, where was I going to go?”Every day, Nooyi says, she asks herself, “Did I earn the right to be CEO of this company today?”
Nooyi arrived at the soft drinks and snacks giant in 1994. Working with Roger Enrico, former CEO of PepsiCo,“we drew a map of what PepsiCo should look like in 10 years’ time.”
Nooyi anticipated the trend towards healthier eating and started to position the brand according to the trend. Nooyi has also contributed greatly to the market growth of Gatorade, Pepsi’s sports drink. Nooyi also announced a new unit responsible for developing nutrition products using fruit, vegetables and grains.
“The creation of this Global Nutrition Group is part of our long-term strategy to grow our nutrition businesses,”Nooyi said in a statement. And when she says, “We want our employees to be thrilled to come to work every day,” she means it.
In the battle of the colas, Pepsi is in a weaker position than Coca-Cola, so it tries harder. Nooyi, too, tries harder. She talks about her sense of gratitude to the US for giving her the chance, about wanting some day to“pay back”in public life.

The world’s earliest known fish hooks (钩) show that humans fished in the open sea for much longer than previously thought. Past studies have shown that early humans were able to cross the open ocean as far back as 50,000 years ago, but evidence that they could fish while in the open sea dated back only to 12,000 years ago.
“In most areas of the world, evidence for our early ancestors’ coastal exploitation (开发) was drowned by rising sea level,” said researcher Sue O’Connor.
Now O’Connor and her colleagues have found evidence of prehistoric fishing tools and the remains of large fish such as tuna (金枪鱼) at a cave shelter known
as Jerimalai, located in the Southeast Asian island nation of East Timor. Their discovery uncovered fishing hooks made from bone that date back to about 42,000 years ago.
“It’s possible that people caught the tuna in the deep channel that lies off the coast of the Jerimalai shelter,” O’Connor said.
The site, first uncovered in 2005, also included bone points, shell beads, the remains of fish, turtles, bats and birds, and nearly 10,000 stone tools. The island of Timor has very few land animals overall and only small birds call the island home, perhaps explaining why the ancient people here went fishing. About half the fish remains at the site came from fish such as tuna. Catching such fast-moving fish requires much planning and complex technology, suggesting that early humans developed these skills earlier than previously thought.
Some other scientists might say that most of the fish bones seen are from young fish, and thus might have been caught more easily off the coast as opposed to in open waters. While this may be the case, it’s still not easy to catch tuna — it requires nets set in deep water.
63. According to Sue O’Connor, evidence for our early ancestors’ coastal exploitation _____.
A. indicated tuna was a common dish for our early ancestors
B. showed the trend of sea movement
C. was buried in cave shelters
D. was difficult to find
64. Sue O’Connor’s study advanced the date of humans’ fishing in the open sea by _____.
A. 50,000 years B. 42,000 years
C. 30,000 years D. 12,000 years
65. Why did the ancient people on the island of Timor go fishing according to the text?
A. The island was too small for the large population.
B. It was very easy to catch fish around the island.
C. There were few animals on land for food.
D. People there loved eating fish.
66. What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. Some scientists have studied the same case much earlier than Sue O’Connor.
B. The result of Sue O’Connor’s study needed to be tested in deep water.
C. It was not easy for Sue O’Connor to carry out the study.
D. Some scientists doubted Sue O’Connor’s study.
D ★★
It goes without saying that human intelligence is very advanced as opposed to plants and other living creatures. People’s capacity to fully understand, reason, organize, solve problems, display emotional intelligence, learn, communicate and think abstractly is out-standing. It is believed to be much more emphasized (强调) nowadays, when bright folks are normally one level higher than everyone else.
Nowadays many people are of the view that a high intelligence quotient (IQ) is an excellent assistance in pulling through life. Statistics reveal that whatever activity enabling the brain to function and operate, no matter whether in the form of difficulties or other obstacles (障碍) that can be overcome by this specific body area, has a positive effect on it.

These are useful in raising your intelligence primarily because they let you think in a different way as you make an effort to uncover answers to certain problems.

Needless to say, you’ve to make sure that you make the most of these brain exercises by not cheating yourself. Lastly, if you progress to a much more complicated level, try your best to answer difficult problems with no hints or clues so that you are able to further force your brain to work on its own.

The exhibit before you is named Five-story Colored Pottery Storage Building, which dates back to the Dong Han Dynasty. It is 145 centimeters in height and was dug up in Mazuo Village, Jiaozuo, Henan Province.
As you can see, the building is made up of five stories. There is a yard on the ground floor and the top floor looks like a hat. It is interesting to see a man standing by the window of the fourth floor. He might be the owner of the building.
If you have any questions about the exhibit, please do not hesitate to ask me. Thank you.
