1、 Unit 1 Art 李仕才 一、閱讀理解。 Old Fossils Scientists have found what they think is probably the oldest fossil on Earth, a remnant of life from 3.7 billion years ago when Earth’s skies were orange and its oceans green. In a newly melted part of Greenland, Australian scientists found the leftover st

2、ructure from a community of microbes（微生物）that lived on an ancient seafloor.

6、that are often produced by a community of microbes. The stromatolites were about 1 to 4 centimeters high. ＂It is like the house left behind made by the microbes,＂ VanKranendonk said. ＂Scientists used the layers of ash from volcanoes and tiny zircon（鋯石） with uranium and estimated that they date bac

7、k to 3.7 billion years ago.＂ The dating seems about right, said Abigail Allwood, a NASA astrobiologist who found the previous oldest fossil, from 3.48 billion years ago, in Australia. But Allwood said she is not completely convinced that what VanKranendonk’s team found once was alive. She said the

8、 evidence wasn’t conclusive enough that it was life and not a geologic quirk（地質(zhì)巧合）. ＂It would be nice to have more evidence, but in these rocks that’s a lot to ask,＂ Allwood said in an email. 1. The underlined words ＂gained a foothold＂ in Paragraph 3 mean______. A.continued B.changed C.in

A. As a result B. After all C.

34、In other words D. As a whole 【答案】C 【解析】本句功能是以另一種方式解釋前文中的“imitative, learned behavior.(模仿性的后天行為)”。in other words換言之，換句話說；as a result結(jié)果是；after all畢竟；as a whole總的來說，總體上看。這些語言學(xué)家視語言為一種模仿的學(xué)習(xí)性行為。也就是說，孩子通過模仿父母的語言來進(jìn)行學(xué)習(xí)。父母們通過鼓勵準(zhǔn)確的模仿和改正不正確的模仿，逐漸塑造了他們的孩子的語言技能。 四、單句改錯 1．Beijing was quite different from th
