the use its wool might have!the oldest surviving textile (紡織品) made out of wool is around 3,500 years old. wool was probably the first fiber to be woven into textiles. because when humans stopped hunting and started raising animals, it was their first step from a wild life to a civilized one. sheep became a convenience store for the new lifestyle of our ancestor during the stone age, a walking food supply that required little care. sheep provided all meat and milk for food, skin and bones for clothing, shelters and tools.some sheep were suitable to roast while others were to produce wool, as sheep fit for eating do not necessarily have highquality wool. early wild species of sheep had long outer hair protecting their short wool undercoats. it was this underlayer that was highly suitable for textile use, so they were selectively bred into modern sheep.great empires were built on the backs of sheep and their wool. around 1800 bc, the civilization of babylonia was famous for its wool. after the romans conquered spain, they developed a new breed (品種) that would come to be known as spanish merino, with the whitest, finest wool ever known. today, the merino is the most highly regarded breed in the world.the chinese held onto the secret of silk for thousands of years before europeans even got an idea about how to put two threads together. with wool, they_seem_to_have_got_their_revenge.4what do we know about raising sheep in the stone age?apeople made great efforts to raise sheep.bpeople exchanged sheep for what they needed.csheep led to the boom of ancient society.dsheep met many basic needs of ancient people.解析：選d細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段的“sheep became a convenience store for the new lifestyle . meat and milk for food, skin and bones for clothing, shelters and tools”可知，羊的肉和奶可作為食物，皮可作為衣服和遮蔽物，而骨頭可用于制作各種工具，即羊滿足了古人的許多基本需求，故選d。5what is the main idea of paragraph 3?aeconomic value of sheep.bfeatures of sheep breeds.cchoice of suitable sheep breeds.ddevelopment of the wool industry.解析：選c段落大意題。根據(jù)第三段的內(nèi)容可知，本段主要介紹了不是所有的羊都適合用于羊毛編織，故人們選擇了合適的品種飼養(yǎng)。故選c。6what are babylonia and the romans mentioned to prove?athe wisdom of ancient people.bthe aggression of ancient nations.cthe link between their rise and wool.dthe greatness of wellorganized ancient society.解析：選c推理判斷題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段中的“great empires were built on the backs of sheep and their wool”可知，一些實(shí)力強(qiáng)大的帝國(guó)是建立在羊背和羊毛上的，緊接著就列舉了巴比倫王國(guó)和羅馬人的例子，故可判斷出，作者提到巴比倫王國(guó)和羅馬人是為了說明他們的崛起和羊毛之間是有聯(lián)系的。7what does the underlined part in the last paragraph mean?athey lost their advantage of something.bthey won and got rid of the shame of failure.cthey did something harmful to their opponent.dthey were taking pains to catch up with others.解析：選b句意理解題。根據(jù)最后一段的第一句“the chinese held onto the secret of silk for thousands of years before europeans even got an idea about how to put two threads together”可知，中國(guó)人在掌握了如何制作絲綢的秘訣數(shù)千年之后，歐洲人才知道如何把兩根蠶絲纏繞在一起變?yōu)橐桓?。結(jié)合上文中提到西方國(guó)家在羊毛利用方面的領(lǐng)先情況可以推斷出，畫線部分意思應(yīng)為他們似乎扳回一局，即羊毛紡織讓歐洲人得以“一雪前恥”。revenge意為“報(bào)仇，復(fù)仇，雪恥”。c(2018河北省鄂西北聯(lián)考)up until now, it has been believed big cats like the leopard (豹) originated in parts of africa. however, an ancient skull unearthed recently indicates that big cats originated in central asia not africa as widely thought, paleontologists (古生物學(xué)家) reported on wednesday.dated at between 4.1 and 5.95 million years old, the fossil is the oldest remains ever found of a pantherine felid, as big cats are called. the previous felid record holder tooth fragments (碎片) found in tanzania is estimated to be around 3.8 million years old.the evolution of big cats has been heatedly discussed, and the issue is complicated by a lack of fossil evidence to settle the debate.“this find suggests that big cats have a deeper evolutionary origin than previously suspected，” said jack zeng, a paleontologist of the university of southern california who led the probe (調(diào)查)zeng and his team made the find in 2010 in a remote border region in tibet. the fossil was found stuck among more than 100 bones that were probably deposited by a river that exited a cliff. after three years of careful comparisons with other fossils, using dna data to build a family tree, the team is convinced the creature was a pantherine felid.the weight of evidence suggests that central or northern asia is where big cats originated some 16 million years ago. they may have lived in a vast mountain shelter, formed by the uplifting himalayas, feeding on equally remarkable species such as the tibetan blue sheep. they then dispersed (分散) into southeast asia, evolving (進(jìn)化) into the clouded leopard, tiger and snow leopard families, and later movements across continents saw them evolve into jaguars and lions.the newly discovered felid has been called panthera blytheae, after blythe haaga, daughter of a couple who support a museum in los angeles, the university said in a news release.語篇解讀：本文是一篇科普說明文。一塊顱骨的出土推翻了一貫的結(jié)論，大型貓科動(dòng)物起源于中亞，而不是非洲。該出土的顱骨證明了大型貓科動(dòng)物的生活習(xí)性和進(jìn)化過程。8according to the

the himalayas.解析：選d細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第六段第二句中的“feeding on equally remarkable species such as the tibetan blue sheep”可知，大型貓科動(dòng)物以與其同樣注目的動(dòng)物如西藏的巖羊?yàn)槭?，故d項(xiàng)正確。11what is the purpose of this passage?ato promote wildlife conservation.bto report on a new find in paleontology.cto introduce a new animal species.dto compare the family trees of pantherine felids.解析：選b目的意圖題。通讀全文可知，本文第一段的第二句“however, an ancient skull unearthed recently indicates that big cats originated in central asia not africa as widely thought, paleontologists (古生物學(xué)家) reported
