ownerandthemetaldetectoristwhofindit.”可知，關(guān)于該寶藏的歸屬權(quán)還在爭(zhēng)論中，故選C。50.A【精析】細(xì)節(jié)題。從文章最后一段第二句“1here’SbeenaslowmoreoverthecenturiesthatpreciousoldthingsbelongtoUSall.”可知，這位教授認(rèn)為這些寶藏或文物是屬于大家共有的，故選A。全國(guó)英語(yǔ)等級(jí)考試三級(jí)閱讀真題2Directions:Readthefollowingtwotexts.AnswerthequestionsoneachtextbychoosingA,B,CorD.MarkyouranswersonyourANSWERSHEET.Isabelhasturneddowntwojoboffersinthepastyear.In2021,shestartedherownconsultingpractice,butby2021,mostofherlargerclientshadtodropherbecauseoftheeconomy.In2021,shewasundertakingirregularassignmentsandknewsheneededasteadyjob.ThefirstjobsheconsideredwasDirectorofHRforacompanyinUtah.Aftertheinitialinterviews,shefeltthejobfitherexceptforthelocation.Still,sheflewwesttomeetthehiringmanager.ThehiringmanagerexplainedthatIsabelwasthetopcandidateforthejobbutthat,beforeshecontinuedwiththeprocess,sheshouldbetterunderstandthefirmsculture.ShedirectedIsabeltoseveralvideosofthecompanysCEO,whoregularlyappearedinfrontofthecompanyincostumeaspartofmoralebuildingexercisesandexpectedhisseniorleaderstodothesame.EventhoughIwasdesperateforajob,IknewIcouldntdothat,Isabelsays.Shecalledtherecruitertoturndownthejobandexplainedthatshedidntfeeltherewasaculturalfit.Afewmonthslater,sheinterviewedforanotherjob:adirectorofemployeerelationsatalocaluniversity.Afterseveralinterviews,thehiringmanagertoldherthejobwashersifshewantedit.Thejobhadmanypositives:itwasalow-stressenvironment,itofferedgreatbenefits,andtheuniversitywasanemployee-friendlyplace.ButthejobwasrelativelyjuniordespitethetitleandIsabelworrieditwouldntbechallengingenough.Finally,sheturneditdown.ItwouldbegreattohaveapaycheckandgreatbenefitsbutIwoulddefinitelyhavetroublesleepingatnight,shesays.Inbothcases,shewasfrankwiththehiringmanagersaboutwhyshewasnttakingthejobs.Inthepast,itfeltlikedating,Iwasworriedabouthurtingpeoplesfeelings,shesays.However,theyappreciatedherfranknessandthankedherforherhonesty.Shesaysitwashardtoturndownthejobsanditwasariskforherfinanciallybutshefeltshehadto.A.didconsultingnowandthenB.foundajobclosetoherhomeC.refusedseveraljobinterviewsD.ranasuccessfulconsultingfirm27.IsabelturneddownthefirstjoboffermainlybecauseofitsA.CEOD.recruiter28.IsabelwasdissatisfiedwiththesecondjobduetoitsA.juniorrifleC.EnvironmentD.lackofchallenge29.IsabelbelievedthatherrejectionofthejobswasA.harmfulB.surprisingC.justifiableD.troublesomeA.lookforjobswithlittlestressB.lookforjobswithgreatbenefitsC.betruthfulindecliningjoboffersD.becautiousindecliningjoboffersYoudonotusuallygetsomethingfornothing.Now,anewstudyrevealsthattheevolutionofanimprovedlearningabilitycouldcomeataparticularlyhighprice:anearlierdeath.Pastexperimentshavedemonstratedthatitisrelativelyeasy.throughselectivebreedingtomakerats,honeybeesand-thatgreatfavouriteofresearchers-fruitfliesalotbetteratlearning.Animalsthatarebetterlearnersshouldbecompetitiveand,thus,overtime,cometodominateapopulationbynaturalselection.Butimprovedlearningabilitydoesnotgetselectedamongsttheseanimalsinthewild.Noonereallyunderstandswhy.TadeuszKaweckiandhiscolleaguesattheUniversityofFribourginSwitzerlandhavemeasuredtheeffectsofimprovedlearningonthelivesoffruitflies.Thefliesweregiventwodifferentfruitsasegg-layingsites.Oneofthesewaslacedwithabitteradditivethatcouldbedetectedonlyoncontact.Theflieswerethengiventhesamefruitbutwithoutanadditive.Fliesthatavoidedthefruitwhichhadbeenbitterweredeemedtohavelearnedfromtheirexperience.Theirchildrenwererearedandtheexperimentwasrunagain.Afterrepeatingtheexperimentfor30generations,thechildrenofthelearnedflieswerecom-paredwithnormalflies.TheresearchersreportinaforthcomingeditionofEvolutionthatalthoughlearningabilitycouldbebredintoapopulationoffruitflies,itshortenedtheirlivesby15%.Whentheresearcherscomparedtheirlearnedfliestocoloniesselectivelybredtolivelonglives,theyfoundevengreaterdifferences.Whereaslearnedflieshadreducedtheirlifespans,thelong-livedflieslearnedlesswellthanevenaverageflies.Theauthorssuggestthatevolvinganimprovedlearningabilitymayrequireagreaterinvestmentinthenervoussystemwhichtakesresourcesawayfromprocessesthatdelayageing.However,Dr.Kaweckithinkstheeffectcouldalsobeaby-productofgreaterbrainactivityincreasingtheproductionofReactiveOxygenSpecies(ROS),whichcanincreaseoxidationinthebodyanddamagehealth.Nooneknowswhetherthephenomenonholdstrueforotheranimals.So,biologists,atleast,still31.PastexperimentsproveselectivebreedingcanmakeanimalsbetterA.CommandersB.CompetitorsC.survivors32.Inthisexperiment,scientistsobservedthatA.somefliesavoidedthefruitwithoutanaddictiveB.somefliespreferredthefruitwithanaddictiveC.theeggsoftheflieswerenotdamagedD.theimpactonthefliesdidnotlastlong33.TheforthcomingreportsaysthatA.long-livedfliesarebetteratlayingeggsB.long-livedfliesarepoorerinlearningC.learnedflieshavearelativelylonglifeD.learnedfliesliveaslongasaverageones34.AccordingtoDr.Kawecki,greaterbrainactivityA.reducesoxygenconsumptionB.regulatesthenervoussystemC.speedsuptheageingprocessD.stabilizestheageingprocess35.WelearnfromthetextthatA.theresearchfindingsneedtobetest
