PASSAGE 1

Passage1：What Lucy taught us

题型：判断+填空

第1题：

出题位置：第一段 On a Sunday morning in late November 1974. a team of scientists were digging in an isolated spot in the Afar region of Ethiopia. Surveying the area, palaeoanthropologist Donald Johanson spotted a small piece of bone. Straight away, he recognised it as coming from the elbow of a human ancestor.

解析：题干为“唐纳德·约翰森不确定他在阿法尔发现的肘骨的性质”。原文提到约翰森在阿法尔地区调查时立刻认出这块肘骨来自于人类祖先，题干表述与原文不符，选 FALSE。

答案：FALSE

第2题：

出题位置：第一段 And there were plenty more. “As I looked up the slopes to my left, I saw bits of the skull, a chunk of jaw, a couple of vertebrae," says Johanson.

解析：题干为“唐纳德·约翰森在阿法尔的同一地点发现了几块骨头”。原文提到约翰森在阿法尔地区调查时，在左边的斜坡还发现了其他的骨头，题干表述与原文一致，选 TRUE。

答案：TRUE

第3题：

出题位置：第二段 It was immediately obvious that the skeleton was a significant find, because the sediments at the site were known to be 3.5 million years old. “I realised this was part of a skeleton that was older than three million years,” says Johanson.

解析：题干为“专家们意识到了在阿法尔地区的发现的重要性”。原文只提到约翰森对阿法尔地区发现的相关表述，并未涉及专家们对此发现的看法，题干信息在原文中没有体现，选 NOT GIVEN。

答案：NOT GIVEN

第4题：

出题位置：第二段 It was the most ancient early human ever found. Later it became apparent that it was also the most complete - 40% of the skeleton had been preserved.

解析：题干为“骨架的上半部分受到的损坏最小”。原文只说到这具骨架是最古老、保存最完整的早期人类骨架，并未提及哪一部分受到的损坏程度最小，题干信息在原文中没有体现，选 NOT GIVEN。

答案：NOT GIVEN

第5题：

出题位置：第三段 At the group's campsite that night, Johanson played a Beatles song called ‘Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds’, and, as the feeling was that the skeleton was female due to its size, someone suggested calling it Lucy.

解析：题干为“骨骼的尺寸帮助约翰森的团队确定它是男性还是女性”。原文说到，这具骨架被认为是女性是由于它的大小，对应题干中“骨骼的尺寸”，size和 measurements 同义替换，题干表述与原文一致，选 TRUE。

答案：TRUE

第6题：

出题位置：第六段 She may have walked like a human, but Lucy spent at least some  of her time up in the trees, as chimpanzees and orangutans still do today. It may be that upright walking evolved in the trees, as a way to walk along branches that would otherwise be too flexible.

解析：题干问“直立移动可能是从树的 XXX 开始的”，此处应填一个名词，且应该是树的某一个部分。原文的 upright walking 对应题干的 upright movement，evolved 与 started 同义替换，可知此处应填 branches(树枝)。

答案：branches

第7题：

出题位置：第六段 It's not clear why Lucy left the safety of the trees. It is thought that savannahs were gradually opening up, so trees were spaced further apart. But hunting for food may have been the real reason for heading to the ground, says Chris Stringer of the Natural History Museum in London.

解析：题干问“可能移动到 XXX 为了寻找食物”，此处应填一个名词，且应该是一个地点。原文与题干出现同义替换：hunting for=in search of, heading to=moved to,可知此处应填 ground(地面)。

答案：ground

第8题：

出题位置：第七段 Studies of the remains of food trapped on preserved human teeth indicate that several species, including Lucy's, were expanding their diet around 3.5 million years ago.

解析：题干问“对早期人类骨骼的 XXX 中食物的分析表明，他们的饮食发生了变化”，此处应填一个名词，且应该是早期人类骨骼的一部分。原文的 expanding their diet 与题干的 changes in their diet 同义替换，可知此处应填 teeth。

答案：teeth

第9题：

出题位置：第七段 Instead of mostly eating fruit from trees, they began to include grasses and possibly meat.

解析：题干问“很可能肉和草代替了 XXX”，此处应填一个名词，且应该与饮食有关。注意 A be substituted for B 翻译为“A 代替 B”，而 A be substituted with B 翻译为“B 代替 A”。原文的 instead of 与题干的 were substituted for 同义替换，可知此处应填 fruit。

答案：fruit

第10题：

出题位置：第七段 Fossilised crocodile and turtle eggs were found near her skeleton, suggesting that Lucy died while foraging for them in a nearby lake.

解析：题干问“在露西附近发现的 XXX 表明这些也是她饮食的一部分”，此处应填一个名词，且应该与饮食有关。原文与题干出现同义替换：near=located close to, foraging for=part of her diet。虽然原文符合条件的词包括 Fossilised crocodile and turtle eggs，但本题限制只能填一个词，因此应填中心词 eggs。

答案：eggs

第11题：

出题位置：第八段 However, in 2010 archaeologists uncovered animal bones with scratches that seem to have been made by stone tools. This suggests that Lucy and her relatives used stone tools to eat meat.

解析：题干问“XXX 上面有痕迹，可能是吃东西用的工具留下的”，此处应填一个名词。原文的 scratches 与题干的 marks 同义替换，可锁定答案词为 animal bones，但本题限制只能填一个词，因此应填中心词 bones。

答案：bones

第12题：

出题位置：最后一段 It also seems that Lucy's childhood was much briefer than ours and that she had to fend for herself from a young age.

翻译：而且，露西的童年似乎比我们的要短得多，她从很小的时候就不得不自己照顾自己。

解析：题干问“现代人类比露西有更长的 XXX”，此处应填一个名词。原文的briefer 与题干的 longer 属于反向的同义替换，可知此处应填childhood。

答案：childhood

第13题：

出题位置：最后一段 But unlike modern humans, she seems to have grown to full size very quickly, and time of death was when she was around 12 years old. In line with that, a recent study of a 3-year-old early human suggested that their brains matured much earlier than ours do.

解析：题干问“现代人类的 XXX 似乎比露西发育得晚”，此处应填一个名词，且应为人体的一个部位。原文的 matured much earlier 与题干的 develop later 属于反向的同义替换，可知此处应填 brains。

答案：brains

类型：柱状图

TASK 2 大作文

Some students choose to work or travel after leaving school and before going to university. Many people, however, say that working experience is more useful in adult life than travel.Do you agree or disagree with this statement?

一些学生选择在毕业后和上大学前工作或旅行。然而，许多人说，在成年生活中，工作经验比旅行更有用。你同意还是不同意这一说法？

题目解读：

在中学毕业、即将进入大学前通常有一段比较长的空闲时间，一些学生选择在这段时间内旅行，认为“读万卷书不如行万里路”，而另一些学生则想尽早融入社会，尽其所能积累工作经验。其实，选择工作还是旅行本身无对错，只要言之有理，都可以写出一篇内容充实的作文。
