答案 C解析 代词指代题。根据第一段中的“humansfirstmovedfromAfricaintoEurasia...suchasNeanderthalsandDenisovans”可知,此处的they指代前文的humansfirstmovingfromAfricaintoEurasia(第一批从非洲到欧亚大陆的人)。故选C。6.WhatcanbelearnedfromProf.Hershkovitz’swordsinPara.4?A.ClimatewasabigfactorinhumanmigrationfromAfrica.B.TherewasalargescalehumanmigrationfromAfrica.C.HumanmigrationwasoccasionalinAfrica200,000yearsago.D.TheMisliyafindisagainstourunderstandingofhumanevolution.答案 A解析 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“HealsoaddedthattherecordnowindicatesthathumansprobablytravelledbeyondtheAfricancontinentwhenevertheclimateallowedit.”可知,Hershkovitz教授认为气候是人类从非洲迁徙的一个重要因素。故选A。7.WhatcanweinferaboutthoselivinginMisliya200,000yearsagoaccordingtothelastparagraph?A.TheywereancestorsofpeoplelivinginChina.B.Theyleftevidencefortheirmysteriousdisappearanceinhistory.C.Theyprobablycontributedlittletopresentdaypeoplegenetically.D.Theycouldbetracedbytheirremainsleftontheirtravellingroute.答案 C解析 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“...everyoneoutsideAfricacantracetheirancestorsbacktoagroupthatleftaround60,000yearsago.SotheinhabitantsoftheMisliyaCaveareprobablynottheancestorsofanyonealivetoday”可推知,那些生活在米斯利亚山洞的人可能对当代人的基因贡献不大。故选C。Ⅳ.短文改错HiLucia,Howareyou?ItwassonicelytomeetyoulastweekinSydneyatthesalesmeeting.Howwasrestofyourtrip?Doyouseeanykangaroos?Ihopeyougothomesafely.Anyway,ImovedtoBerlinlastweek,whenmycompany’snewofficebuildingislocated.Thebuildingisgoingtobeopenedinthreeweeks.Theofficesarenice,butthelocationisperfect.Therearelotsofrestaurants,cafesandbanksonthearea.Thereisalsopublictransport,madeiteasytogetaround.Ifyoucometovisit,IwouldhavelovetoshowyouaroundBerlin,especiallyinthewinter.Youalwayssayyouhadneverseensnow—youwillseethemhere!Mike答案

[句式分析] 本句为复合祈使句,filledwithcoolwater为过去分词作后置定语,thatspringsfromthegroundbelow和thatsurroundthem为定语从句,分别修饰coolwater和thethickpalmforests。[自主翻译] 在一个晴朗的日子去探索这些满是从地下冒出的凉水的天然洞穴池,它们周围是茂密的棕榈林。[仿写运用] 花四天在西藏游玩,探索它独特的自然风光,这种风光在其他地方找不到。SpendfourdaystouringinTibet,exploringitsuniquenaturalscenerythatcan’tbefoundelsewhere.
