Section Ⅳ　Writing about the unexplained
Ⅰ.閱讀理解
　　When the discovery of fossilized （化石的） footprints made in what’s now New Mexico was made public in 2021， it was an astonishing moment for archaeology， seemingly rewriting a chapter of the human story. Now new research is offering further evidence of their significance.
　　While they look like they could have been made yesterday， the footprints were pressed into mud 21，000 to 23，000 years ago， according to radiocarbon dating of the seeds of a water plant that were preserved above and below the fossils. This date dramatically pushed back the timeline of humans’ history in the Americas， the last land to be settled by prehistoric people. The 61 dated prints， which were discovered in the Tularosa Basin， near the edge of an ancient lake in White Sands National Park， were made at a time when many scientists think that massive ice sheets had stopped human passage into North America， indicating that humans arrived in the region even earlier.
　　However， some archaeologists questioned the age of the footprints established by those initial findings. They noted that water plants such as Ruppia cirrhosa — the one used in the 2021 study — can acquire carbon atoms from the water rather than the air， which can result in a misleadingly early date.
　　In a follow-up study published Thursday in the journal Science， researchers said they have produced two new lines of evidence to support their initial dates. “Even as the original work was being published， we were speeding up to test our results with multiple lines of evidence，” said Kathleen Springer， co-lead author on the new Science paper， in a news release. “We were confident in our original ages， as well as the strong evidence.”
　　When and how early humans first moved to the Americas has long been debated and remains poorly understood. Current estimates range from 13，000 years ago to more than 20，000 years ago. However， the earliest archaeological evidence for the region’s settlement is insufficient and often controversial， making the footprints especially important.
1.What is Paragraph 2 mainly about？（　?。?br/>A.The purpose of the new research.
B.The method of the dating.
C.The significance of the footprints.
D.The efforts of the scientists.
2.Why did some archaeologists question the age of the footprints？（　?。?br/>A.It goes against the prior knowledge.
B.The prints seem to be made recently.
C.The previous research method is improper.
D.The then massive ice sheets are misleading.
3.What will the author probably talk about next？（　　）
A.The doubt about the age of the footprints.
B.The new evidence of the fossilized footprints.
C.An agreement between the two sides of the debate.
D.Early humans hardship of moving to the Americas.
4.What is the purpose of the text？（　?。?br/>A.To explain the process of archaeological study.
B.To report the discovery of fossilized footprints.
C.To introduce a debate on the age of the footprints.
D.To present the progress of the footprint research.

語篇解讀：本文是一篇說明文。文章介紹了關(guān)于腳印化石將人類抵達美洲的時間推遲了的進一步研究。
1.C　段落大意題。根據(jù)第二段前兩句可知，腳印的發(fā)現(xiàn)大大推遲了人類在美洲的歷史時間，所以本段主要講的是腳印的意義。
2.C　細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段第二句可知，考古學(xué)家質(zhì)疑這些腳印的年代是因為早期研究的方法可能有誤導(dǎo)性。
3.B　推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段可知，腳印的研究對早期人類何時以及如何首次遷移到美洲很重要。由此推斷，作者接下來要談?wù)撃_印化石的新證據(jù)。
4.D　目的意圖題。通讀全文尤其是最后一段可知，文章介紹了關(guān)于腳印化石將人類抵達美洲的時間推遲了的進一步研究。由此推知，文章的目的是介紹足跡研究的進展。
Ⅱ.
語篇解讀：本文是一篇記敘文。一位農(nóng)夫聘用了一名男子在大西洋沿岸的農(nóng)場做工，這名男子聲稱自己在刮風的夜晚也能安然睡覺，農(nóng)夫后來才理解這句話的意思。
5.C　根據(jù)下文After months of advertising， a man 　7　 the farm.可知，農(nóng)夫是通過發(fā)布廣告來找農(nóng)場雇工的。
6.D　根據(jù)空后的for violent storms happened frequently可知，大西洋沿岸經(jīng)常有暴風雨。由此可推知，人們不愿意在這里工作。be unwilling to do sth意為“不愿意做某事”。
7.B　根據(jù)語境可知，農(nóng)夫發(fā)布了幾個月的廣告后，一名男子走近農(nóng)場。
8.D　根據(jù)下文的I may not have enough experience可知，此處農(nóng)夫應(yīng)是問這名男子是否有在農(nóng)場工作的經(jīng)驗。
9.A　根據(jù)第一段第二句可知，農(nóng)夫一直在發(fā)布廣告來找農(nóng)場雇工，但似乎沒有人對此感興趣，也就是說他很難找到雇工，因此此處應(yīng)是指農(nóng)夫雖然不理解他說的話，但是也別無選擇，只能雇用這名男子。
10.B　根據(jù)空前的The man worked quite well可知，這名男子的工作做得很好，因此農(nóng)夫非常滿意。
11.C　根據(jù)下文的He jumped out of his bed可知，農(nóng)夫跳下了床。由此可知，風把他吵醒了。
12.C　根據(jù)下文的“Wake up！” the farmer yelled， throwing the man off the bed.可知，農(nóng)夫去叫醒這名男子，因此此處指他跳下床后就朝他的幫手走去。
13.A　根據(jù)下文　16　， he hurried outside to prepare for the storm.可知，農(nóng)夫匆忙走到外面要為應(yīng)對暴風雨作準備，因此此處是指暴風雨要來了。
14.D　根據(jù)空前的Tie things down可知，農(nóng)夫要這名男子把東西都系好。結(jié)合常識可知，這樣做的目的是防止東西被風吹走。
15.B　根據(jù)上文可知，一天晚上，暴風雨要來了，農(nóng)夫讓這名男子把東西都系好，他卻回應(yīng)道：“先生，我告訴過你，刮風的時候我能睡著?！庇纱丝赏浦?，農(nóng)夫應(yīng)是被這名男子的回應(yīng)激怒了。
16.C　農(nóng)夫沒有當場發(fā)脾氣，他匆忙走到外面要為應(yīng)對暴風雨作準備，前后為轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系。
17.B　農(nóng)夫匆忙走到外面本來是要為應(yīng)對暴風雨作準備，卻發(fā)現(xiàn)一切都被安置得非常妥當，因此他看到的景象令他很吃驚。
18.A　根據(jù)空后的nothing could be blown away可知，沒有東西能被吹走，因此此處指所有的東西都被系好了。
19.D　根據(jù)9空前的Although puzzled by the man’s answer可知，農(nóng)夫起初并不理解這名男子說的話，再根據(jù)The farmer smiled at that moment可推知，農(nóng)夫笑了的原因應(yīng)是他此時理解了這名男子的話。

語篇解讀：本文是一篇說明文。文章介紹了位于亞速爾群島最南端的“陽光島”，該島因其陽光充足而著稱，具有豐富的文化歷史和獨特的生物多樣性。
20.recognized　考查非謂語動詞?？仗幾鞫ㄕZ，且與island構(gòu)成被動關(guān)系，故填過去分詞recognized。
21.Being　考查非謂語動詞?？仗幾髟驙钫Z，應(yīng)用動詞-ing形式，故填Being。
22.dates　考查動詞的時態(tài)和主謂一致。date back to 是固定短語，講述客觀事實，應(yīng)用一般現(xiàn)在時，故填dates。
23.regions　考查名詞的單復(fù)數(shù)。根據(jù)空前的all of可知，后面的名詞應(yīng)用復(fù)數(shù)，故填regions。
24.under　考查介詞。under the command of 意為“在……的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)下”，故填under。
25.when　考查定語從句。空處引導(dǎo)定語從句，修飾先行詞1432，并在從句中作時間狀語，故填when。
26.a　考查冠詞。根據(jù)句意可知，圣瑪麗亞島擁有一種獨特的生物多樣性，泛指一種，且unique的發(fā)音以輔音音素開頭，故填a。
27.highly　考查詞形轉(zhuǎn)換。修飾形容詞rare， 應(yīng)用副詞作狀語，故填highly。
28.to have　考查非謂語動詞。根據(jù)island前面的the only可知，應(yīng)用動詞不定式作后置定語，故填to have。
29.variety　考查詞形轉(zhuǎn)換。根據(jù)wide可知，后面應(yīng)用名詞，故填variety。

A LONG LINE OF MYSTERIES
Along a special line of latitude， known as the 30th parallel north， lie numerous sites of ancient civilisations and impressive natural features.
Ancient civilisations appeared on the parallel， including Babylon， with its famous tower； Egypt， with its pyramids； China， with its Sanxingdui culture， etc.These civilisations appeared at a similar time， and all developed advanced bronze-making techniques.Were they part of a single super-civilisation， as some think？
　　It’s argued that the 30th parallel north is a line of great natural energy， with frequent earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.This creates amazing natural features， including Mount Qomolangma， the Dead Sea， and rivers， such as the Nile， the Mississippi and the Yangtze.Lacking any concrete evidence， some even claim it was supernatural powers！
Scientists， however， dispute these theories.It’s more likely，they argue， that civilisations arose on the 30th parallel north because the climate there is generally warm and damp.Major tectonic plates meet at this latitude， causing earthquakes， which helped form the Himalayas.The rest， they say， is either coincidence or fantasy.

　　When the discovery of fossilized （化石的） footprints made in
what’s now New Mexico was made public in 2021， it was an
astonishing moment for archaeology， seemingly rewriting a chapter of the
human story. Now new research is offering further evidence of their
significance.
　　While they look like they could have been made yesterday， the
footprints were pressed into mud 21，000 to 23，000 years ago，
according to radiocarbon dating of the seeds of a water plant that were
preserved above and below the fossils. This date dramatically pushed back
the timeline of humans’ history in the Americas， the last land to be
settled by prehistoric people. The 61 dated prints， which were discovered
in the Tularosa Basin， near the edge of an ancient lake in White Sands
National Park， were made at a time when many scientists think that
massive ice sheets had stopped human passage into North America，
indicating that humans arrived in the region even earlier.
　　However， some archaeologists questioned the age of the footprints
established by those initial findings. They noted that water plants such as
Ruppia cirrhosa — the one used in the 2021 study — can acquire carbon
atoms from the water rather than the air， which can result in a
misleadingly early date.
　　In a follow-up study published Thursday in the journal Science，
researchers said they have produced two new lines of evidence to support
their initial dates. “Even as the original work was being published， we
were speeding up to test our results with multiple lines of evidence，”
said Kathleen Springer， co-lead author on the new Science paper， in a
news release. “We were confident in our original ages， as well as the
strong evidence.”
　　When and how early humans first moved to the Americas has long
been debated and remains poorly understood. Current estimates range from
13，000 years ago to more than 20，000 years ago. However， the
earliest archaeological evidence for the region’s settlement is insufficient
and often controversial， making the footprints especially important.
