The discovery was made by researchers at Yo
33、rk and Harvard Universities when they were examining the genetic relationship between the ancient woolly mammoth and mastodon to modem elephants-the Asian elephant, African forest elephant, and African savanna elephant. Once they obtained DNA sequences(序列)from two fossils(化石),mammoths and mastodons,
34、 the team compared than with DNA from modem elephants. They found to their amazement that modem forest and savanna elephants are as distinct from each other as Asian elephants and mammoths. The scientists used detailed genetic analysis to prove that the African savanna elephant and the African fores
35、t elephant have been distinct species for several million years. The divergence of the two species took place around the time of the divergence of Asian elephants and woolly mammoths. This result amazed all the scientists. There has long been debate in the scientific community that the two might be
36、separate species, but this is the most convincing scientific evidence so far that they are indeed different species. Previously, many naturalists believed that African savanna elephants and African forest elephants were two populations of the same species, despite the elephants significant size diff
37、erences. The savanna elephant has an average shoulder height of 3.5 metres while the forest elephant has an average shoulder height of 2.5 metres. The savanna elephant weighs between six and seven tons, roughly double the weight of the forest elephant. But the fact that they look so different does n
38、ot necessarily mean they are different species. However the proof lay in the analysis of the DNA. Alfred Roca, assistant professor in the Department of Animal Sciences at the University of Illinois, said, We now have to treat the forest and savanna elephants as two different units for conservation p
39、urposes. Since 1950, all African elephants have been conserved as one species. Now that we know the forest and savanna elephants are two very distinctive animals, the forest elephant should become a bigger priority(优先)for conservation purposes. 46. One of the fossils studied by the researchers is th
40、at of _. A. the Asian elephant B. the forest elephant C. the savanna elephant D. the mastodon elephant_.47. The underlined word divergence in Paragraph 4 means_. A. evolution B. exhibition C. separation D. examination48. The researchers conclusion was based on a study of the African elephants A. DNA
41、 B. height C .weight D. population49. What are Alfred Rocas words mainly about? A. The conservation of African elephants. B. The purpose of studying African elephants. C. The way to divide African elephants into two units. D. The reason for the distinction of African elephants.50. Which of the follo
42、wing can be the best title for the passage? A. Naturalists Beliefs about Elephants B. Amazing Experiments about Elephants C. An Unexpected Finding about Elephants D. A Long Scientific Debate about Elephants D Why should mankind explore space? Why should money, time and effort be spent exploring and
43、researching something with so few apparent benefits? Why should resources be spent on space rather than on conditions and people on Earth? These are questions that, understandably, are very often asked.Perhaps the best answer lies in our genetic makeup(基因构成) as human beings. What drove our ancestors
44、 to move from the trees into the plains, and on into all possible areas and environments? The wider the spread of a species, the better its chance of survival. Perhaps the best reason for exploring space is this genetic tendency to expand wherever possible.Nearly every successful civilization has ex
45、plored, because by doing so, any dangers in surrounding areas can be identified and prepared for. Without knowledge, we may be completely destroyed by the danger. With knowledge, we can lessen its effects. Exploration also allows minerals and other potential(潜在的)resources to be found. Even if we hav
46、e no immediate need of them, they will perhaps be useful later. Resources may be more than physical possessions. Knowledge or techniques have been acquired through exploration. The techniques may have medical applications which can improve the length or quality of our lives. We have already benefite
47、d from other spin-offs including improvements in earthquake prediction, in satellites for weather forecasting and in communications systems. Even non-stick pans and mirrored sunglasses are by-products(副产品)of technological developments in the space industry ! While many resources are spent on what se
48、ems a small return, the exploration of space allows creative, brave and intelligent members of our species to focus on what may serve to save us. While space may hold many wonders and explanations of how the universe was formed or how it works, it also holds dangers. The danger exists, but knowledge
49、 can help human beings to survive. Without the ability to reach out across space, the chance to save ourselves might not exist. While Earth is the only planet known to support life, surely the adaptive ability of humans would allow us to live on other planets. It is true that the lifestyle would be
50、different, but human life and cultures have adapted in the past and surely could in the future.51. Why does the author mention the questions in Paragraph l? A. To express his doubts. B. To compare different ideas. C. To introduce points for discussion. D. To describe the conditions on Earth.52. What
51、 is the reason for exploring space based on Paragraph 2? A. Humans are nature-born to do so. B. Humans have the tendency to fight. C. Humans may find new sources of food.D. Humans dont like to stay in the same place.53. The underlined word spin-offs in Paragraph 4 probably refers to A. survival chan
52、ces B. potential resources C. unexpected benefits D. physical possessions54. What makes it possible for humans to live on other planets? A. Our genetic makeup. B. Resources on the earth. C. The adaptive ability of humans. D. By-products in space exploration.55. Which of the statements can best sum u
53、p the passage? A. Space exploration has created many wonders. B. Space exploration provides the best value for money. C. Space exploration can benefit science and technology. D. Space exploration may help us avoid potential problems on Earth. 第II卷本卷共6小题，共35分。第三部分：写作第一节：阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读下面短文，
