21、   Men hunted. Women gathered. That has long been the common view of our prehistoric ancestors. But the discovery of a woman buried 9000 years ago in the Andes Mountains with weapons and hunting tools, and an analysis of other burial sites in the Americas challenges this widely accepted division of labor in hunter-gatherer society.

“Labor practices among recent hunter-gatherer societies are highly gendered, which might lead some to believe that sexist inequalities in things like pay or rank are somehow 'natural' , ”said lead study author Randy Haas, an assistant professor of anthropology (人类学) at University of California, Davis, in a news release. "But it's now clear that sexual division of labor was fundamentally different-likely more equal and reasonable-in our species deep hunter-gatherer past."

The burial site was discovered in 2018 during excavations (发掘) at a high-altitude site called Wilamaya Patjxa in what is now Peru. The woman, thought to be between 17 and 19 years old when she died, was buried with items that suggested she hunted big-game animals.

Although some scholars have suggested a role for women in ancient hunting, others have dismissed this idea even when hunting tools were uncovered in female burials. To examine whether this woman found at this site was an outlier, the researchers examined 429 skeletons (骷髅) at 107 burials sites in North and South America around 8000 to 14000 years ago. Of those, 27 individuals were buried with hunting tools—11 were female and 15 were male. The sample was sufficient to "support the conclusion that female participation in early big-game hunting was likely not unusual".

The findings add to doubts about man — the hunter assumption that informed much thinking about early humans since the mid-20th century. “They suggest hunting was very much a community-based activity, needing the participation of all able-bodied individuals to drive large animals”, the paper said. The weapon of choice at that time had low accuracy, encouraging broad participation, and using it was a skill learned from childhood.

【1】What does the recent burial site at Andes Mountains show?

A．The origin of sexual inequality.

B．Hunting skills of ancient times.

C．The social system of prehistoric hunters.

D．Job division of hunter-gatherer society.

【2】Which of the following might Randy Haas agree with?

A．Gender plays no part in recent hunter-gatherer society.

B．Sexist inequality is a natural result of prehistoric society.

C．Ancient division of labor might be fairer than we'd thought.

D．Public ideas of women's role will be changed abruptly.

【3】What does the underlined word "outlier" in Paragraph 4 mean?

A．Exception.

B．Failure.

C．Role model.

D．Easy target.

【4】What might make prehistoric hunting a community-based activity?

A．Lack of able-bodied individuals.

B．Imperfection in hunting weapons.

C．Better accuracy of females in hunting.

D．Need for large animals as food source.

23、We give toys to kids who otherwise wouldn't have them. Load bags with canned foods for the hungry. Make donations to those who need it. This time of year, it seems, we focus more on doing good and being good. Certainly, that's not a bad thing.

Researchers at the University of California, Berkeley say that kindness, and related qualities like empathy and compassion are actually a form of self-preservation. Those who give more, get more. The most generous among us have greater influence and are more popular. Whereas, the unkind and unhelpful are more likely to be cast adrift from us. After all, it stands to reason, that if I'm paddling your lifeboat, you'll keep me afloat a little longer.

So, is kindness motivated by our real concern for others or are we do-gooders because it makes us look good and shores up our position in the ecosystem? Probably both. Most of us really enjoy helping others. It makes us feel good, connected, happy and that makes for a healthier more satisfying life. But, it doesn't hurt that we also receive other rewards-status, cooperation, influence-that will help m survive and become successful.

Despite all the benefits, I tend most often toward kindness only when it's convenient. That doesn't mean I have had manners. I say my pleases and thank-yours. I hold the door open for passengers. But, I could be kinder, more often. Sometimes I'm stopped front doing good by just how to do it. Sometimes, I'm just not thinking enough about other to recognize the need. Sometimes, I'm plain, old selfish.

I'm working to be more aware of those around me. To slow down and move with patience and purpose on the freeway. To be more kind. My acts of kindness aren't complex or flashy-I'm not the type. They aren't expensive--I'm too cheap. But those things aren't required. You don't have to feel guilty that your kind gesture wasn't as big as building a school in Africa. Kindness can be a small, simple act and still make an extremely large impact. Notice a need and then consciously offer a bit of you self.

【1】What do the researchers believe about kindness?

A．It makes people more and more selfish.

B．It reflects the generosity of human nature.

C．It advocates doing good or being good.

D．It is a behavior for self-protection and survival.

【2】The third paragraph mainly explains why kindness is ________.

A．a quality of sympathy

B．a win-win quality

C．a concern for others

D．an approach to donate

【3】When will the author stop doing good according to Para 4?

A．When he does' know others' needs.

B．When someone says he is selfish.

C．When he is enjoying a satisfying life.

D．When someone has bad manners.

【4】From the author's point of view, kindness ________.

A．should be something impressive

B．starts from some grand and heroic actions

C．can be something simple and practical

D．is a matter of awareness in cooperation

24、Siri is an artificial intelligence (AI) that you can carry around in the pocket, where it waits patiently to be told what to do. In the week we spent together, my AI assistant has performed admirably in finding me restaurants, or the location of the nearest coffee shop.

A typical command might be: “Reserve a table for two at a good French restaurant in San Francisco.” Siri responds by presenting a list of top-rated restaurants that can be booked on OpenTable.com. If you say which time you want, it can book you a table without your lifting a finger. In some ways Siri is just a fancy front-end (前端程序) to the 35 sites it can connect to, from taxi booking sites to movie review databases. But what’s new is the way it can analyze the intentions of its master or mistress and use those sites to put them into action.

Siri attaches probabilities to the explanation of each word and cross-references (对照检索) with your location and other data, some of which you must provide yourself. To send email reminders, Siri obviously needs to know your email address. To “find me the flower shop closest to work”, it needs to know where you work. To pay bills or buy airline tickets, it would need access to your credit card.

That raises the question of how far we are willing to trust a piece of software that can go and do things for us based on what it “thinks” we mean, a topic that occupies some engineers working on artificial intelligence. The more data, and power, you give your virtual assistant, the more damage it could do. Siri may be simple, and always shows its explanation of a command before carrying it out. But it gives users a preview of a new balance between privacy, trust and convenience that the expansion of AI into everyday life is likely to develop.

【1】What is Siri?

A. A digital e-book reader.

B. A music-sharing software.

C. A voice-controlled website.

D. An artificial intelligence software.

【2】When asked “do I need my umbrella today?”, what will Siri probably respond with?

A. The list of umbrella makers.

B. The list of umbrella shops.

C. The local weather forecast.

D. The local climate conditions.

【3】Siri is new in that it has the ability ______.

A. to understand what you speak

B. to connect a lot of websites

C. to give a variety of commands

D. to create computerized database

【4】What question does Paragraph 4 answer?

A. Does Siri think itself?   B. Can I trust you, Siri?

C. Is Siri simple for use?   D. Will Siri be popular?
