In the second paragraph, the term "in effect" means ______.

The passage implies that there are many senses we ______.

The second paragraph tells us______.

If we had to rely on only five senses for survival, we would be in very sad shape indeed. We wouldnt know up from down. We wouldnt know when to eat or drink. We wouldnt know what our muscles were doing or what position our limbs were in. We wouldnt know when our body was damaged because we wouldnt feel pain. We might freeze to death without even a shiver, or overheat without a drop of sweat. The five senses—touch, taste, smell, hearing and sight—respond only to stimulation from the outside world, but the inside world of our bodies must also receive and respond to important messages. Our internal senses keep us alive and enable us to use our external senses.In effect, the internal senses tell our brains how to run our bodies. Hunger or thirst registers in a part of the brain called the hypothalamus(丘脑下部), when a lack of food chemicals are detected in the blood. Another internal sense that controls our balance is maintained by three fluid-filled loops in the inner ear. Changes in position and gravity affect the motion of this liquid and cause changes in the brain. A sense called kinesthesia(肌肉运动知觉)lets us know the relative positions of parts of our bodies. Even our breathing is caused by a sense that identifies an overabundance of carbon dioxide and a lack of oxygen in the blood. No one has been able to count the number of internal senses. The presence of delicate internal senses shows just how marvelously complex we human beings are.

This passage deal mostly with the______.

Hunger is caused by______.

All are the reasons for Tokyo to develop underground EXCEPT______.

Shopping underground is clean______.

This passage is about______.

In Japans capital city of Tokyo, earthquake danger limits the height of buildings. The city has spread out so far and the traffic has become so heavy that it is very difficult to get from one place to another. The price of land, too, has become very high. All this explains why a group of Japanese land developers came to the conclusion that there was nowhere to go but down. So far they have dug out space underground for fifteen major shopping centers, and the underground construction has only begun. What are some of the advantages of shopping and eating underground? Clean, filtered(过滤的)air is one of them. The city of Tokyo has one of the most serious smog problems in the world. Another advantage is that there wont be traffic accidents as that on the citys busy streets. Still another is the convenience of moving from place to place. Youre usually right next to, or even in, a subway station. And you can even spend the night underground if you like. The Kyobashi Station, for example, in down town Tokyo, has a hotel with a bar, restaurant and barbershop.

It is very difficult to get from one place to another in Tokyo because______.

When Williams began working on his book, he ______.

We can conclude from the passage that______.

Would you like to spend all evening reading a lovely story with beautiful illustrations and make $35, 000 at the same time? Millions of people all over the world tried to do just that. Only one succeeded. The book is called Masquerade, and was written by British painter Kit Williams. Within its pages are clues to the location of a golden jewel, and whoever figured out the clues could find and keep the treasure. Some years ago, Williams was asked to write a childrens book. Wanting to do something no one else had done before, he decided to bury a golden treasure and tell where it was in the book. He began painting without a clear idea of what the story would be about, where he would bury the treasure, or even what the treasure would be. As he painted, he decided that in the story a hare, or rabbit, would travel through earth, air, fire and water to deliver a gift from the moon to the sun. After three years, he finished the paintings and then wrote the story. The treasure became an 18-carat gold hare, adorned with precious stones, and it was made by Kit Williams himself. This beautiful jewel, worth around $ 35, 000 , depending on gold prices, was buried somewhere in Britain, free to anyone who could decipher the clues. Williamss book kept people of all ages amused trying to solve the mystery of Masquerade. The rabbit was finally found in the spring of 1982 , by a 48-year-old design engineer. It was buried in a park about thirty-five miles from London.

The function of the first sentence in this passage is to ______.

Which of the following is TRUE according to the 4th paragraph?

Dinosaur scientists can probably know whether dinosaurs were good parents by______.

Unlike modern animal scientists, dinosaur scientists cannot sit on a hillside and use telescopes to watch dinosaurs in order to know how they lived and whether they were good parents. Instead, they have to search hard for information from dinosaurs fossils(恐龙化石)because dinosaurs died out millions of years ago. Its very difficult for the scientists to reach an agreement because different results can be got from the same fossils. Many fossils of the same kind of dinosaurs have been dug out from one place. They might have formed when an entire group of dinosaurs got stuck(陷入)all at once. Or they might have been the result of dinosaurs getting stuck one after another over a course of a few centuries. Thus we can say that dinosaurs might have in the first case lived in big groups and in the second lived alone. Though there are two different results, dinosaur scientists now generally agree that at least some kinds of dinosaurs lived in big groups. "Thats pretty much settled at this point, " says Paul Sereno. A kind of dinosaurs called Sauropods left behind tracks in the western United States that appear to run north and south, suggesting that they even moved long distances together. As to whether dinosaurs cared for their young, dinosaur scientists have turned to the closest living relatives of dinosaurs—birds and crocodiles—for possible models. Birds give a lot of care to their young, while crocodiles just help their young to the water. The discovered fossils of dinosaurs sitting on their eggs and staying with their young suggest the parents were taking care of their babies, but we still cannot say that all dinosaurs did the same. There is still a long way to go before the above questions could be answered. Dinosaur scientists will have to find more proof to reach an agreement.

Dinosaur scientists can get information directly by______.

According to the passage, it is believed that "Flores Human"______.

What is pretty much settled according to Paul Sereno?

The underlined part "this tiny human"in Paragraph 2 refers to______.

This passage mainly talks about______.

The discovery of a dwarfed(矮个的)"human being" who lived in Flores, Indonesia, up to 18, 000 years ago is changing the way we think about the human family. This "Flores Human"was three foot tall and her brain was smaller than that of the average chimp(黑猩猩), yet she and her relatives apparently lived fully human lives. They seem to have made tools, worked together to find food and cook it, and perhaps even burried their dead with ceremony. It was a major surprise to find tools associated with the new human family member. The tools are like those formerly seen only with European fossils(化石)from our own species: Homo sapiens(智人): and the oldest of them were made 9, 400 years ago. Homo sapiens is thought to have arrived in the island about 4, 000 years ago, much too late to be responsible for the tools. Ifthis tiny humanmade the tools, then the inside structure(结构)of its brain must have been more like our own than a chimps, despite being just a third the size of ours. This "new human" was suspected to be a dwarfed branch of Homo erectus(直立人). When creatures are separated in regions with rare resources but few enemies, being big is a disadvantage, and evolution tends to shrink them, a process known as island dwarfing. Could natural selection make a human smaller while keeping—even improving—mental ability? Quite possibly, believes Christopher Wills of the University of California. Has the "Flores Human" even shown the ability of language? "I find it difficult to imagine that people could make tools, use fire, and kill large animals without fairly advanced communication, "Wills says. Did "Flores Human" possess the basic components of human culture—such as the burying of the dead with ceremony? Emiliano Bruner of the Italian Institute points out that Indonesias hot, wet environment is bad for fossilization. It is reasonable to assume, he says, that the 18, 000-year-old bones of the most complete Flores woman were well-preserved because she was buried with special care.
