A "lost tribe" that reached America from Australia may have been the first Native Americans, according to a new theory. If proved by DNA evidence, the theory will break long established beliefs about the southerly migration of people who entered America across the Bering Strait, found it empty and occupied it. On this theory rests the belief of Native Americans to have been the first true Americans. They would be classified to the ranks of escapee, beaten to the New World by Aboriginals (土著人) in boats. To a European, this may seem like an academic argument, but to Americans it is a philosophical question about identity, Silvia Gonzales, of Liverpool University said. Her claims are based on skeletons found in the California Peninsula of Mexico that have skulls quite unlike the broad Mongolian features of Native Americans. These narrow- skulled people have more in common with southern Asians, Aboriginal Australians and people of the South Pacific Region. The bones, stored at the National Museum of Anthropology (人类学) in Mexico City, have been carbon-dated and one is 12,700 years old, which places it several thousand years before the arrival of people from the North. "We think there were several migration waves into the Americas at different times by different human groups," Dr. Gonzales said. "The timing, route and point of origin of the first colonization of the Americas remains a most contentious topic in human evolution." But comparisons based on skull shape are not considered conclusive by anthropologists, so a team of Mexican and British scientists, backed by the Natural Environment Research Council, has also attempted to take out DNA from the bones. Dr. Gonzales declined yesterday to say exactly what the results were, as they need to be checked, but indicated that they were consistent (一致) with an Australian origin. |

The Taj Mahal (泰姬陵) is considered to be one of the most beautiful buildings in the world and the finest example of the late style of Indian architecture (建筑). It is at Agra in northern India. It lies beside the River Jumna in the middle of gardens with quiet pools. The Taj Mahal was built by the Mogul emperor (皇帝) Shah Jehan, who ruled India in the seventeenth century. It is in memory of his favorite wife, Arjumand Banu Bagam, known as Mumtaz Mahal, who died in 1631. The building, which was completed between 1632 and 1638, was designed by a local Muslim architect (建筑师), Ustad Ahmad Lahori. The whole building, with gardens and gateway structures, was completed in 1643. The Taj Mahal stands at one end of the garden tomb with marble (大理石) path. The room is softly lighted by the light that passes through double screens of carved marble set high in the walls. The building now is kept in good condition. The Taj Mahal took 22 years to build. Shah Jehan planned a similar building, but in black instead of white, to lie on the other side of the river.

With its budget of $80 million, John Woo as director, and an all-star cast (明星云集 的演员阵容), Red Cliff is the most expensive and ambitious Asian-financed film ever. Last week I saw the release of the second part, and boy oh boy does it shows. But watching the film as a foreigner I felt I was missing out on something. Not knowing my Cao Cao"s from my Zhou Yu"s, I was not even sure whom I wanted to win. Certainly after the opening scene, in which Cao Cao is seen watching a game of Cuju, an ancient Chinese variation of football, I knew who had my support. After all, any man who enjoys his football is someone after my own heart. But after Cao Cao resorted to some evil strategies against his enemies in the south, I wasn"t so sure he was the man I should be rooting for. And there is a lot more to Red Cliff 2 than just extravagant battle scenes. The film does not take itself too seriously. Conversations between leaders are littered with one- liners, many of which had the audience in laughter. There is even enough to keep fans of more romantic entertainment happy too. This includes a charming relationship between a southern spy (侦探) and an innocent northern soldier. The characters" interaction provides some genuinely heart-warming moments in the middle of the battle. Clocking in at(结束于) around two hours, the film certainly does justice to the history story. When I walked out the cinema, I felt as drained (精疲力竭) as Cao Cao"s soldiers must have 1,800 years ago. |
1. By expressing "boy oh boy" in the first paragraph, the author seems to show that _____. |
[ ] |
A. the film characters are like boys who are childish. B. the film provides amazing and surprising scenes for audience. C. the film is suitable for younger boys to watch. D. the film scene is so bloody that boys shouldn"t watch it. |
2. When did the author change his attitude toward Cao Cao? |
[ ] |
A. When he read the history story about Cao Cao. B. When he saw Cao Cao was watching a game of Cuju, C. When he realized that Cao Cao took some bad measures to beat his enemies. D. When he saw the romantic love story of Cao Cao and a southern spy. |
3. The following factors of the film are all mentioned in the passage except _____. |
[ ] |
A. high budget B. leading roles C. actors and actress D. conversations |
4. From the passage we can infer that _____. |
[ ] |
A. the author is a football fan in a foreign country B. Cuju is the name of an ancient Chinese variation of football C. the film Red Cliff 2 lasts about two hours D. the author was very tired after about two hours" battle |

When I lived in Spain, some Spanish friends of mine decided to visit England by car. Before they left, they asked me for advice about how to find accommodation (住所). I suggested that they should stay at "bed and breakfast" houses, because this kind of accommodation gives a foreign visitor a good chance to speak English with the family. My friends listened to my advice, but they came back with some funny stories. "We didn"t stay at bed and breakfast houses," they said, "because we found that most families were away on holiday." I thought this was strange. Finally I understood what had happened. My friends spoke little English, and they thought "VACANCIES" meant "holidays", because the Spanish word for "holidays" is "vacaciones". So they did not go to house where the sign outside said "VACANCLES", which in English means there are free rooms. Then my friends went to house where the sign said "NO VACANCLES", because they thought this meant the people who owned the house were not away on holiday. But they found that these houses were all full. As a result, they stayed at hotels! We laughed about this and about mistakes my friends made in reading other signs. In Spanish, the word "DIVERSION" means fun.In English, it means that workmen are repairing the road, and that you must take a different road.When my friends saw the word "DIVERSION" on a road sign, they thought they were going to have fun.Instead, the road ended in a large hold. English people have problems too when they learn foreign languages. Once in Paris, when someone offered me some more coffee, I said "Thank you" in French. I meant that I would like some more. However, to my surprise, the coffee pot was taken away! Later I found out that "Thank you" in French means "No, thank you." |
1. My Spanish friends wanted advice about _____. |
[ ] |
A. learning English B. finding places to stay in England C. driving their car on English roads D. going to England by car |
2. "NO VACANCIES" in English means _____. |
[ ] |
A. no free rooms B. free rooms C. not away on holiday D. holidays |
