26、hile we know that language first appeared among Homo sapiens somewhere thousands of years ago, the secret to how language evolved is still unknown, and mainstream theories fall into two distinctly different camps.One widely held theory is that language came about as an evolutionary adaptation. That
27、was where the idea of natural selection came into play, which was the belief that the specific physical features of a population made that population more likely to survive its environment, like the turtle(海龟)and its shell. On one hand, humans needed to communicate with each other in order to hunt,
28、farm and defend themselves successfully from the surrounding severe environment. Being able to communicate by using language gave the human species a distinct survival advantage. On the other hand, language was needed for social interaction, according to those who subscribed to the adaptation theory
29、.In their paper Natural Language and Natural Selection, researchers Steven Pinker and Paul Bloom theorized that a series of calls or gestures evolved over time into combinations, giving us complex communication, or language. As things became more complicated around them, humans needed a more complex
30、 system to convey information to one another. Early man saw a group of deer he wanted to hunt. He made a sound to his hunting partner that means deer are nearby. One day, a storm came in and the hunter noticed that thunder scared the deer away. As a result, the hunter went hungry until the storm pas
31、sed. Over time, the same hunter also learned to recognize the warning signs for bad weather-dark skies and increased wind. Early man realized that when the sky darkened and the wind picked up, he needed to tell his hunting partner to speed up the pursuit of the deer. Therefore, he came up with a ser
32、ies of sounds that refer to both the deer and the bad weather. That series of sounds was the beginning of an evolutionary adaptation that eventually became language.As humans learned more about how to best survive, they developed a need to convey these survival methods to their population. To be bri
33、ef, thats the adaptation theory.28. Why are the turtle and its shell mentioned in paragraph 2?A. To show the mystery of nature. B. To support the evolutionary adaptation.C.

36、 Wildfires have recently destroyed regions across the world, and their gravity is increasing. Hoping to reduce harm, researchers led by Yapei Wang, a Chinese chemist of Renmin University, say they have developed an inexpensive sensor to detect such fires earlier with less effort.Current detection me
37、thods rely heavily on human watchfulness, which can delay an effective response. Most wildfires are reported by the general public, and other alerts come from routine foot patrols and watchtower observers. Passing planes and satellites also occasionally spot something, but the fire first appears on
38、the ground, Wang says. When you see the fire from the sky, it is too late.The team says its new sensor can be placed near tree trunks bases and send a wireless signal to a nearby receiver if there is a dramatic temperature increase. That heat also powers the sensor itself, without replacing batterie
39、s. The team printed the substances onto ordinary paper to create a sensor for just $ 0.40.But improving coordination among the different agencies involved in firefighting is even more crucial to address, says Graham Kent, an earthquake expert at the University of Nevada, Reno, who was not part of th
40、e study. Kent is director of ALERT Wildfire, a network that uses cameras and crowd sourcing to watch for fires in California, Nevada and Oregon. The whole way that you respond to a fire until its put out is like a ballet, he says. Youd have to choreograph(设计)it just so, with resources precisely used
41、 at the right time and place and in the right order from detection to confirmation to assignment to extinguishment(熄灭). Fire detection is just step one.Wang says his teams next steps are to extend the devices signal range beyond the current 100 meters, which can limit practical use, and to develop a
42、 protective shield for it. The transmitters effectiveness, he notes, will also need to be examined in the field ahead.32. What does the underlined word gravity in paragraph 1 probably mean?A. Pull. B. Extinction. C. Popularity. D. Severity.33. What do we know about the sensor?A. Its price remains hi
43、gh. B. Its batteries are replaceable.C. It can detect fires earlier and easier. D. It can reduce firefighters pain.34. What does Kent mean in paragraph 4?A. Firefighting is easy but crucial. B. Fire detection resources are rich.C. Putting out a fire is an orderly activity. D. Technology is the key t
44、o extinguishing a fire.35. Whats the plan for the new sensor according to Wang?A. Improving and testing it. B. Limiting its use and transmission.C. Examing and reducing its signal range. D.
