21、A new study has found that people who lived in ancient(long ago) Britain quickly evolved to deal with a lack of sunlight. Evolution is when living things change over time to survive. Jonathan Terhorst from the University of Michigan and Lain Mathieson from the University of Pennsylvania, both in the US, looked at data from the genes of 529 people who lived in Britain over the past 4,500 years. DNA in genes is a chemical that carries all the information about your body.

The team found that the levels of vitamin D and calcium in humans’ bodies in Britain suddenly increased. Vitamin D is a substance that humans make naturally when their skin is exposed to sunlight, and it helps bones to grow straight and strong.

Humans evolved in Africa, where there is plenty of sunshine. However, when they moved to places like Britain, where there is not much sunlight, they were faced with a problem—many of them couldn’t make much vitamin D. The earliest arrivals in Britain got vitamin D by eating oily fish but people gradually moved to growing crops instead of fishing. This made them short of the essential vitamin. The researchers found that around this time, humans in Britain quickly evolved to have pale skin, which absorbs more light for making vitamin D. This change was an example of natural selection, which is when hard conditions make particular genes needed for survival. Those who have the genes are more likely to survive and pass their genes on to the next generation.

You can also make up for a lack of vitamin D by eating more calcium, which helps bones grow. Milk is a source of calcium but to digest(消化) it you need to make a substance in your gut called lactase. Many people across the world can’t make lactase when they grow up. However, the study found that early people in Britain evolved to keep on producing lactase even as adults. This meant they could carry on drinking milk—so they kept cows. This extra calcium, along with their pale skin’s use of what sunshine there was, helped them survive.

【1】In ancient Britain, people evolved in order to ________.

A．have pale skin

B．take more vitamin D

C．get used to the weather

D．make more lactase to digest milk

【2】People should ________, if they cannot get enough vitamin D.

A．drink little milk

B．change their genes

C．move to places like Britain

D．take part in more outdoor activities

【3】British people have stronger abilities to ________ than many people all over the world.

A．digest milk

B．keep cows

C．catch oily fish

D．change their genes

【4】Which of the following is the correct order according to the passage?

① Humans evolved in Africa.

② British people evolved to digest milk better.

③ People started growing more crops instead of fishing.

④ British people ate oily fish for more vitamin D.

A．①④③②

B．④②①③

C．①③④②

D．③①②④

23、There are hundreds of mountains in the world. Some are very famous in the world. Qomolangma at 8,844.43m is the tallest mountain in the world. Mount Kilimanjaro is the tallest in Africa. Mount Blanc is the highest in Europe. Do you know that the smallest mountain is in Australia?

The smallest mountain in the world is Mount Wycheproof at 141 feet. However, this mountain stands 486 feet above the sea level (海平面). It is in the small town of Wycheproof with a population of 789. There is always a discussion about whether Mount Wycheproof is a mountain or a hill. The mountain has several tracks(小路) and some local wild animals such as kangaroos.

Although Mount Wycheproof is the smallest, it isn’t so famous as Qomolangma. Interestingly, more people have reached the top of Qomolangma than Mount Wycheproof, though it is easy and safe to climb Wycheproof.

Mount Wycheproof was named after the town of Wycheproof. People began to live there as early as 1845. The name Wycheproof means the grass on a hill. It is an important place for the local people. They have running competitions to the hill top every year.

People always have the Grain Festival, family picnic and dinner on the mountain every year. The government has spent much money on the mountain to make it more enjoyable for visitors. Tourists can enjoy a picnic, walk on the long tracks or sit around the great 7-foot-tall sculpture(雕塑) on the mountain.
