21、Men hunted.Women gathered. But the discovery of a woman buried 9,000 years ago in the Andes Mountains with weapons and hunting tools challenges this widely accepted view. The woman, thought to be between 17 and 19 years old when she died, was buried with items that suggested she hunted big-game animals by spear (矛) throwing.

The objects accompanying people in death tend to be those that accompanied them in life. Although some scholars have suggested a role for women in ancient hunting, others have dismissed this idea even when hunting tools were uncovered in female burials.

To examine whether this woman found at this site was an exception, the researchers examined 429 skeletons at 107 burial sites from around 8,000 to 14,000 years ago. Of those, 27 individuals were buried with hunting tools—11 were female and 15 were male. The sample was sufficient to “justify the conclusion that female participation in early big-game hunting was likely nontrivial,” said lead study author Haas.

The findings add to doubts about “man-the-hunter” assumption about early humans since the mid-20th century. That theory assumes that it was men who went out and hunted, bringing home meat to feed women and children, who were responsible for gathering berries, plants and nuts to enrich the dict.

But recent research suggests hunting was very much a community-based activity, needing the participation of all able-bodied individuals to drive large animals, the study said. Meanwhile, the spears used at that time had low accuracy, encouraging participation, and using it was a skill learned from childhood. Women may also have been freed from child care demands by “allo-parenting”—raising children was a job shared by many.

“Our findings have made me rethink the most basic organizational structure of ancient hunter-gatherer groups, and human groups more generally,” Haas said.

【1】The discovery of the buried woman shows ________.

A．she was killed by a big-game animal

B．she might use hunting tools when alive

C．women were good at throwing spears

D．women were buried alone after death

【2】The underlined word “nontrivial” in Paragraph 3 probably means “________”.

A．limited

B．direct

C．significant

D．passive

【3】Which of the following lead to women’s involvement in hunting?

①allo-parenting ②big-game hunting ③tasks of gathering ④less accurate tools

A．①②③

B．②③④

C．①③④

D．①②④

【4】Haas probably believes that ________.

A．most of our ancestors were buried with hunting tools

B．we should reconsider previous views on human groups

C．division of labor in hunter-gatherer society remains unchanged

D．the tomb found in the Andes justifies “man-the-hunter” assumption

22、   We often hear such statements: “I spilled (洒出) juice, but it wasn't my fault.” “I got in trouble at school, but it wasn't my fault.” or “I was in a car accident, but it wasn't my fault.” That “It's not my fault.” is a go-to response for so many people and especially teenagers.

Parents complain they are tired of the “excuse”. The reason why variations of “It's not my fault.” are so popular is that it lets us off the hook from guilt and blame. I'm a fan of not owning responsibility for things that I can't control. Teens who often say “It's my fault.” when something bad happens tend to be highly self-critical, perfectionistic and more easier to be troubled by anxiety and depression.

While it is important to recognize lack of reason to blame oneself, many teens over rely on “It's not my fault.” When trying to get them to take responsibility, parents usually attempt to convince their teens that something is their fault. The approach tends to be ineffective and turn into a power struggle. No one wins. A more effective approach can be to stress significant drawbacks to consistently focusing on removing our responsibility with this phrase.

Overuse of the phrase can result in feelings of lack of ability to control their own lives. This sense has been shown to cause low motivation. Besides creating feelings of lack of ability, overuse of “It's not my fault.” focuses a teen's attention on what is done as opposed to what needs to be done.

People may not have caused all their problems but they have to solve them anyway. The example I frequently share with teens is the question of what one will do if he is pushed into a deep lake. One can certainly stay in water, yelling, “It's not my fault.” However, that won't get him out of water. He needs to swim to the shore, regardless of the fault.

If you take a proper approach to communicating with your teens, you can help them avoid over reliance on “It's not my fault.”

【1】What phenomenon is described in Paragraph 1？

A．The teenagers' dislike for school life.

B．The common trouble faced by teenagers.

C．The reasons for blaming others for accidents.

D．The tendency for people not to be responsible for mess in life.

【2】What type of teens tends to suffer great mental pressure according to the text？

A．Those lacking confidence and ambition.

B．Those allowing others to find excuses.

C．Those unable to get along well with others.

D．Those often blaming themselves for some incidents.

【3】What's the author's attitude to parents' usual way of guiding children？

A．Negative.

B．Supportive

C．Ambiguous.

D．Neutral.

【4】What’s the suitable title for this passage？

A．Avoiding troubling others

B．Daring to point out others’ mistake

C．Focusing on how to solve problems

D．Should be self－critical as much as possible.

23、Arthur Dubois isn't your typical grandfather. That's because at 72 years old, the Chicago resident is a newly discovered hip-hop artist.

This week, Dubois walked into Haven Studios, a music program on the South Side of Chicago that supports young ambitious artists. The owner of Haven Studios, Andre "Add-2" Daniels, said Dubois claimed he was "young at heart." So, Daniels decided to listen to Dubois' music. He was completely floored. Daniels quickly took videos showcasing Dubois' talents and posted them to Twitter. His tweet went viral, receiving thousands of reactions within a matter of days. Now, Dubois' talents have even caught the attention of some famous hip-hop producers.

"It's not what you would expect, right?" Daniels says in one of the videos. Dubois music is playing in the background, giving a steady beat that easily invites listeners to dance.

Dubois said his style was entirely self-taught. He first started teaching himself to produce hip-hop beats about six years ago, after he retired. "I found something to do," he told NPR's Scott Simon. "I had to learn how to do the computer and music at the same time." Dubois taught himself by using the audio editing software. Now he's learning another new skill-social media. Dubois' newfound social media fame has been a little overwhelming for him. "I was shocked," he said. "I broke down and cried because I didn't know that many people liked me." Daniels has helped Dubois set up accounts on Twitter and Instagram for his fans to follow, "I'd never used Instargram, Twitter and all that other stuff," Dubois said. "Because I didn't believe in that stuff myself. But now I've got lo have it." The attention doesn't seem to have gone to Dubois' head though-he doesn't really care about getting famous or making money. "I just want to put it out there and let other people hear my music."

【1】What does the underlined word "floored" in Paragraph 2 mean?

A．Astonished.

B．Scared.

C．Nervous.

D．Hurt.

【2】Who helped Dubois take up hip-hop?

A．Daniels.

B．He himself.

C．NPR's Scott Simon.

D．Hip-hop producers.

【3】What can we infer from the text?

A．Daniels set up accounts for Dubois.

B．Daniels didn't enjoy Dubois' music at first.

C．Dubois seeks for personal fame and wealth.

D．Dubois didn't expect his popularity on the Internet.

【4】What can we conclude from the passage?

A．Well begun in half done.

B．It's never too late to learn.

C．Lost time in never found again.

D．One good turn deserves another.

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。

It was a warm weekday evening in May last year when my friend Alice and I were on a long walk around the university campus. We had met on a university trip in 2019, when I was in my final year and Alice was a master’s student. We loved each other at once because we both love books and talking loud about how odd the world is.

I had brought a book of mini plays that we were performing to each other as we walked, just for fun. At one point, as part of the merrymaking, Alice set off a quick run and I took it as an invitation to race. We were on a long pavement when I stuck my foot out to trip her—I just wanted her to have a tumble (跌倒) so we could laugh about it. She fell instantly and I kept on running; it was all part of the joke. But then I heard her screaming. I turned around and she was on the ground, holding her right leg. I thought for a second she must be kidding, for there was no way she could have hurt herself that badly. But her face was out of shape in pain and she was making this crying sound.

A man who was walking by had seen what had happened. He called an ambulance as soon as he saw Alice. Within 10 minutes it arrived. The medical staff had to pick her up and carried her into the ambulance.

I went back to Alice’s house to tell her sister, who she lives with, what had happened. We drove to the hospital, even though we knew they couldn’t let us in because of COVID-19. Tests revealed that Alice’s leg had shattered (粉碎) in eight places. She would remain in hospital for weeks and would probably be restricted to her bed at home with a full-length cast for months after that. Because of COVID-19, we still couldn’t visit her. Alice treated the situation with levity (轻率), telling me not to worry because accidents happen.

Paragraph 1:

She spent three weeks in hospital.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Paragraph 2:

So I wrote her a story, a kind of long-form apology, with Alice as the main character.
