15. Tens of thousands of years ago, not a single human being lived in the Americas. This only changed during the last Ice Age. It was a time when most of North America was covered with a thick sheet of ice, which made the Americas difficult to inhabit. But at some point during this time, adventurous humans started their journey into a new world.
There is still debate about when these first Americans actually arrived and where they came from. But we are now getting closer to uncovering the original story, and finding out who these first Americans really were.
During the peak of the last Ice Age about 20,000 years ago, a journey from Asia into the Americas would not have been particularly desirable. North America was covered in icy permafrost (永冻层)and tall glaciers. But, paradoxically (很矛盾的是),the presence of so much ice meant that the journey was, in a way, easier than it would be today. The abundance of ice meant that sea levels were much lower than they are now, and a stretch of land appeared between Siberia and Alaska. Humans and animals could simply walk from Asia to North America. The land bridge was called Beringia.
At some point around this time—known as the Last Glacial Maximum—groups of hunter-gatherers moved east from what is now Siberia to set up camp there.
These people did well to seek refuge there. Central Beringia was a much more desirable environment than the icy lands they had left behind. The climate was a bit damper. Plants, in the form of woody bushes, would have given them access to wood that they could burn to keep warm. Beringia was also an ideal environment for large mammals eating grass, giving early hunter-gathers something to hunt. 1.What happened during the last Ice Age?
A.All kinds of animals started into a new world. B.Human beings began to enter North America. C.Not a single human being appeared on the earth.
D.North America began to be covered with ice and snow. 2.According to the writer, what was contradictory?
A.Abundant ice made the journey easier than it would be today. B.A journey from Asia into the Americas was desirable. C.Lack of ice made the Americas easier to reach. D.Humans and animals walked to the Americas.
3.What was an advantage in living in Central Beringia? A.A much more suitable environment. B.The climate being less damp. C.Plants being in the form of grass. D.Small mammals eating grass.
4.What may be the best title for the text? A.Something About the Americas
B.Why Early Hunter-gathers Liked Hunting C.The First People Who Lived in the Americas D.What the Weather Was Like in the Americas
16. An illustration for the 2018 China?s primary and secondary school Chinese language textbooks was published to focus more on traditional culture, according to an editor from the Southern Metropolitan Daily.
From this fall, more than four million the first and the seventh graders in
provincial-level regions will use the new books in which traditional culture makes up 30 percent of the revised primary school textbooks, while it increases to 40 percent for secondary school textbooks. For elementary students, there are 129 ancient poems and essays, and for junior high school students, the number has risen to 132 which were selected to urge the students to learn the language as well as instruct them on philosophy. Many Chinese classics and world classics were so specifically
highlighted in the illustration that they will be tested in the national college entrance exam.
“What we have done is to address the needs of parents, who want their children to learn more about traditional culture,” said a senior editor surnamed Zhu in charge of the middle school textbooks. “Now a number of people cannot even understand the
language in classical Chinese books, but parents compete to send their children to commercial training centers for traditional culture.”
China has witnessed a renewed interest in traditional education. A report by the Southern Metropolitan Daily said that China has more than 3,000 traditional private schools, in addition to training centers teaching students classical essays. “Demand for private education grows when teaching traditional culture in public schools is inadequate,” Zhu said.
Uniform textbooks were spread in primary and middle schools in China before an education reform, which allowed schools in different provinces to use different
textbooks. More than ten publishers have released their own textbooks, including the Language and Culture Press. This is the first revision the press has made in more than a decade, in which outdated articles have been replaced.
1.According to the illustration, what is the main change about the new Chinese language textbooks?
A.The new textbooks will be used by more first and seventh graders. B.The new textbooks will be used in more provincial-level regions. C.The new textbooks will pay more attention to traditional culture.
D.The new textbooks will change more than half of the content in the previous edition. 2.One of the purposes of revising school textbooks is to________. A.test the students
B.use different textbooks C.build more private schools
D.cultivate the students on philosophy
3.Which is NOT the reason for private education growing in China? A.More traditional textbooks are chosen for public school education. B.Parents send their children to training centers for traditional culture. C.A renewed interest in traditional culture appears in China. D.Teaching traditional culture in public schools is not enough. 4.What is the best title of this article? A.Teaching Standards B.Literary Works C.Classics Return D.Private Schools
