They only have numbers for one, two and more than two, and they have never invented the wheel. But they have also been called some of “the last free people on ear
23、th.”In the late 1920s, researchers found a tribe of people untouched by modern society. This was the first reported meeting with the Yanomami, who were living deep within the South American jungle.Scientists agree that their location deep in the forest helped their culture unchanged. Until recently,
24、 most Yanomami still lived in isolated regions. Everything they needed came from the rain forest. They hunted, fished and farmed the land. Then a discovery brought the outside world to them. And along with it came deadly changes.Gold was discovered in Yanomami in the 1970s. By 1987, around 80,000 mi
25、ners had moved into the area. In a fight to take over the land, they killed some Yanomami. They also brought into new sicknesses, including the common cold and malaria. Today over 62 percent of Yanomami show signs of malaria.Just as deadly were the results of mining, including polluted streams and c
26、leared forests. Within just seven years their population fell by 20 percent.Today governments and international organizations are looking for ways to protect the Yanomami. The Brazilian government has reserved a large area of land for the tribe. And in 1990, Brazil ordered all the miners out of Amaz

31、 Region.C Should people who study science and business pay less for college than people who focus on art and history? That may soon be the case at Floridas state universities. In tough economic times, Florida governor Rick Scott wants to lead college students toward careers that will pay off after g
32、raduation. There are more jobs available in Florida in the fields of business, engineering, healthcare, science and technology. So why not encourage students to focus on these “high-demand” subjects by charging less tuition for them? “We assume students go to college because they want to find jobs,”
33、 Dale Brill told TFK. He is the head of a group of business people, educators and lawmakers who made the recommendation to the governor to keep tuition low for job-friendly areas of academic study, called majors. “We all share the goal of students getting jobs and being productive citizens. Some maj
34、ors are more valuable than others.” Supporters of the plan say it benefits students, the state and universities. More students will choose these “high-demand” majors and get jobs after graduation. The state will gain an educated workforce that is qualified to fill open jobs. Universities that can sh
35、ow that their graduates are getting jobs will qualify for more funding from the state. But critics of the plan say its unfair to load humanities majorsthose who study literature, philosophy, history and artwith debt while keeping tuition low for so-called “high-demand” majors in business and science
36、. In fact, university professors wrote a letter to Governor Scott arguing that companies have a need for humanities majors with “superior analytical, critical thinking and communication skills.” The letter also warns that if students majoring in history and other humanities subjects are forced to pa
37、y higher tuition, they may simply choose to attend universities in other states. Still others argue that the plan sets students up for failure. Students should choose majors based on their interests, skills and talents, rather than on what jobs are available at any given time. Those who choose major
38、s because they are interested in a particular field of studywhether it is engineering, art or literaturewill be more successful and satisfied in their careers.36. Rick Scott wants to charge science students less tuition because_.A. it can attract more students to learn science.B. science subjects ar
39、e so hard to learn.C. the science students cant afford the expensive tuition.D. science subjects are more valuable than humanities majors.37. In the supporters eyes, how will universities benefit from the plan?A. They will take in more students.B. They will get more money from the government.C. They
40、 will educate more qualified graduates.D. They will become more famous.38. Which of the following is NOT the reason why people are against the plan?A. Its unfair to the humanities students.B. College students majors should be based on interests, skills and gifts.C. The plan may mislead students to c
41、hoose wrong majors.D. The state will take too heavy a burden.39. What can be inferred from the passage? A. Florida has carried out the policy to charge science students less tuition.B. Science majors have great advantages over humanities majors.C. Florida needs more graduates from science subjects.D
42、. Students should choose their majors according to job opportunities.40. What is the best title of the passage?A. Less tuition for science students in Florida.B. Should college be cheaper for science students?C. Different people, different ideas. D. Why is it cheaper for college science students?DTh
43、ey wear the latest fashions with the most up-to-date accessories (配饰). Yet these are not girls in their teens or twenties but women in their sixties and seventies. A generation which would once only wear old-fashioned clothes is now favoring the same high street looks worn by those half their age. P
44、rofessor Julia Twigg, a social policy expert, said, “Women over 75 are now shopping for clothes more frequently than they did when they were young in the 1960s. In the 1960s buying a coat for a woman was a serious matter. It was an expensive item that they would purchase only every three or four yea
45、rs now you can pick one up at the supermarket whenever you wish to. Fashion is a lot cheaper and people get tired of things more quickly.”Professor Twigg analyzed family expending(支出) data and found that while the percentage of spending on clothes and shoes by women had stayed around the sameat 5 or
46、 6 per cent of spendingthe amount of clothes bought had risen sharply. The professor said, “Clothes are now 70 per cent cheaper than they were in the 1960s because of the huge expansion of production in the Far East. In the 1960s Leeds was the heart of the British fashion industry and that was where
47、 most of the clothes came from, but now almost all of our clothes are sourced elsewhere. Everyone is buying more clothes but in general we are not spending more money on them.”Fashion designer Angela Barnard, who runs her own fashion business in London, said older women were much more affected by ce
48、lebrity(名流) style than in previous years. She said, “When people see stars such as Judi Dench and Helen Mirren looking attractive and fashionable in their sixties, they want to follow them. Older women are much more aware of celebrities. Theres also the boom in TV programmes showing people how they
49、can change their look, and many of my older customers do yoga to stay in shape well in their fifties. When I started my business a few years ago, my older customers tended to be very rich, but now they are what I would call ordinary women. My own mother is 61 and she wears the latest fashions in a w

According to Paragraph 2, old women _.A. consider buying clothes a big issueB. buy more clothes than younger womenC. didnt often buy clothes in the pastD. didnt like to wear the latest fashions42.
