13、Women lie more to protect other people. If you ' re married, you ' regoing to lie to your wife or husband in one out of every 10 communications. If you ' ruenmarried, that number drops to three. But look, if at some point you got lied to, it ' s because you agreed to get to. Truth ab

Then the program makes the same observations as a tracker would, allowing scientists to know where individual animals go. However, the pr

As people send in photos of tracks from animals in the wild, the FIT program can compare it to tracks from animals it “ knows.” As the program becomes more accurate, Wild Track hopes it wil

25、f the footprint and another along the left side. Below the footprint, place a note containing your exact name and the date. Holding the camera or cellphone directly above the track, take a photo showing the footprint, rulers and note. Later, visit and follow the instructions on the s

26、ite to send your photo.Wild Track needs photos of footprints made not only by animals in captivity but also those living in the wild. In wild places, you should take care not to disturb animals in their natural environment. If you intend to photograph in a wild area that is unknown to you, then you

27、should not go there alone. Instead, go with someone who is familiar with the regionand experienced at tracking.24. How does the writer begin this article about WildTrack?A. By discussing the software that it employsB. By praising its recent efforts to raise fundsC. By explaining how and when it was

28、foundedD. By summarizing different opinions about it25. According to this article, which animals are WildTrack mainly interested in?A. Those which cause a threat to human settlementsB. Those which are now at risk of becoming extinctC. Those which have been illegally kept as petsD. Those which disapp

A technique containing several steps27. What does the article suggest doing in wild areas?A. Admiring the wi

30、ld landscapeB. Preparing well for wild weatherC. Leaving wild creatures aloneD. Consuming a diet of wild plantsCHow and why, roughly 2 million years ago, early human ancestors evolved large brains and began fashioning relatively advanced stone tools, is one of the great mysteries of evolution. Some

31、researchers argue these changes were brought about by the invention of cooking. They point out that our bite weakened around the same time as our larger brains evolved, and that it takes less energy to absorb nutrients from cooked food. As a result, once they had mastered the art, early chefs could

32、invest less in their digestive systems and thus invest the resulting energy savings in building larger brains capable of complex thought. There is, however, a problem with the cooking theory. Most archaeologists （考 古學家 ） believe the evidence of controlled fire stretches back no more than 790,000 yea

33、rs.Roger Summons of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology has a solution. Together with his team, he analyzed 1.7 million-year-old sandstones that formed in an ancient river at Olduvai Gorge in Tanzania. The region is famous for the large number of human fossils （化石）that have been discovered the

34、re, alongside an impressive assembly of stone tools. The sandstones themselves have previously yielded some of the world 's earliest complex hand axes - large tear-drop-shaped stone tools that are associated with Homo erectus （直立人） . Creating an axe by repeatedly knocking thin pieces off a raw s

35、tone in order to create two sharp cutting edges requires a significant amount of planning. Their appearance is therefore thought to mark an important moment in intellectual evolution. Trapped inside the Olduvai sandstones, the researchers found distinctive but unusual biological molecules （分子） that

36、are often interpreted as biomarkers for heat-tolerant bacteria. Some of these live in water between 85°C and 95°C. The molecules' presence suggests that an ancient river within the Gorge was once fed by one or more hot springs.Dr. Summons and his colleagues say the hot springs would ha

37、ve provided a convenient “ pr-efire ”means of cooking food. In New Zealand, the Maori have traditionally cooked food in hot springs, either by lowering it into the boiling water or by digging a hole in the hot earth. Similar methods exist in Japan and Iceland, so it is plausible, if difficult to pro

38、ve, that early humans might have used hot springs to cook meat and roots. Richard Wrangham, who devised the cooking theory, is fascinated by the idea. Nonetheless, fire would have offered a distinct advantage to humans, once they had mastered the art of controlling it since, unlike a hot spring, it

39、is a transportable resource.28. All of the following statements can support the cooking theoryEXCEPT .A. cooking enabled early humans to invest less in digestive systemB. cooking enabled early humans to devote more energy to building big brainsC. our brain became larger around the same time our dige

40、stive system weakenedD. the controlled fire wasn' t mastered until about 790,000 years ago29. The presence of biological molecules was important becauseA. they suggested a possible means of cooking without fireB. they cast light on how early Homo erectus livedC. they provided a convenient way of

41、 studying stone toolsD. they made studies of pre-historic cultures possible30. The underlined word “ plausible ” probably means A. noticeable B. applicable C. reasonable D. affordable31. What may be the conclusion of the study by Dr. Summons and his colleague?A. Early humans were capable of making c

42、omplex stone tools.B. Hot springs help explain how human brains got so big.C. Homo erectus were adaptable to tough and complex territories.D. Human brains are highly advanced as shown by their size.DOn August 29th, as Hurricane Dorian tracked towards America 'esast coast, Elon Musk, the boss of

43、Tesla, an electric-car maker, announced that some of his customers in the storm' s path would find that their carshad suddenly developed the ability to drive farther on a single battery charge. Like many modern vehicles, Mr. Musk' sproducts are best thought of as internet-connected computers

44、 on wheels. The cheaper models in Tesla 'linse-up have parts of their batteries disabled by the car ' s software in order to limit their range. At the tap of a keyboard in Palo Alto, the firm was able to remove those restrictions and give drivers temporary access to the full power of their b

45、atteries.Mr. Musk ' s computerized cars are just one example of a much broader trend. As computers and connectivity become cheaper, it makes sense to bake them into more and more things that are not, in themselves, computers, creating an “ internet of things ” .Such a world will bring many benef

46、its. Consumers will get convenience, and products that can do things non-computerized versions cannot.Businesseswill get efficiency, as information about the physical world that used to be uncertain becomes concrete and analyzable.In the long term, though, the most obvious effects will be in how the

47、 world works. Ever more companies will become tech companies; the internet will become everywhere. As a result, a series of unresolved arguments will spill over from the virtual world into the real one.Start with ownership. As Mr Musk showed, the internet gives firms the ability to stay connected to

48、 their products even after they have been sold, transforming them into something closer to services than goods. That has already made the traditional ideas of ownership unclear. When Microsoft closed its ebook store in July, for instance, its customers lost the ability to read titles they had bought

49、 (the firm offered refunds). That shifts the balance of power from the customer to the seller.Virtual business models will jar in the physical world. Tech firms are generally happy to move fast and break things. But you cannot release the beta version ( 測試版 ) of a fridge. Apple, a smartphonemaker, p

50、rovides updates for its phones for only five years or so after their release; users of Android smartphones are lucky to get two. But goods such as washing machines or industrial machinery can have lifespans of a decade or more. Firms will need to work out how to support complicated computerised devi

51、ces long after their original programmers have moved on.Data will be another flashpoint. For much of the internet the business model is to offer “ free” services that are paid for with valuable user data, collected with consent （ 同意） that is half-informed at best. In the virtual world, arguments abo

52、ut what should be tracked, and who owns the resulting data, can seem airy and theoretical. In the real one, they will feel more urgent.Predicting the consequences of any technology is hard especially one as universal as computing. The emergence of the consumer internet, 25 years ago, was met with st

53、arry-eyed optimism. These days the internet' sfaults dominate the headlines. But the people have the advantage of having lived through the first internet revolution which should give them some idea of what to expect.32. From the passage we can tell that Tesla can .A. drive faster than usual in e

54、xtreme weatherB. adjust the range of its battery powerC. charge the battery at the tap of a keyboardD. operate when the battery is fully drained33. Which of the following is NOT an example of the “ unresolved arguments ” mentioned in the passage?A. Early adopters of certain apps find that they cease

55、d to work after the firm lost interest.B. The insurance company uses data from fitness trackers to adjust customers' premiums（保費）.C. Computerized machinery can ' ptredict its breakdowns or schedule preventive maintenance.D. A high-tech fridge company restricts its customers from repairing th

56、eir fridges themselves.34. The underlined word jar probably means in thiscontext.A. boomB. conflictC. vanishD. expand35. This passage is mainly about .A. how the world will change as computers spread into everyday objectsB. the adoption of electric vehicles and the possible problems to expectC. what

58、ause whe n we weigh the risk and the reward, the risk seems worth taking.36 Some of us enjoy activities that would surpriseand scare the rest of us. Why? Experts say it may have to do with how our bra ins work?The reason why any of us take any risks at all might have to do with early humans. Risk-ta
