Back in 1958, I was crazy about the Norfolk and Western 746. The smooth bullet-nose engine with its orange and yellow lines and shiny streamlined black tender (车厢) seemed to have cast a spell on me.
Together the engine and tender measured a little shy of 2 feet—enormous by the toy train standards of the day. Even better, the 746 had a working headlight and smoker, and its tender sang high.
Unfortunately, the amazing 746 also had an amazing price—$50, equal to about $450 today. That was far more than my grandfather could afford. Instead, I had to be content with his little Lionel plastic, which was SIX INCHES shorter than the 746 and had no headlight, no smoker or no sound! But that was the best that my grandfather could give me at that time.
Years passed, and I was in my plicated sound systems and computer controls dominated toy trains. I never gave a look. My interest in toy trains, I firmly believed, had faded, nor did my admiration for the 746, since my grandfather was not with me. The 746 was never called to mind. On an ordinary day, however, I happened to see the 746 outside the window of a train show. Just one look, I could not look away. Childhood memories that I tried to hide in the depths of my heart raced through my mind, happy or sad.
That day I took the 746 home and placed it in the centre of the room, and let my childhood dream sing its way around me. Smoke rose out from the engine and the soft song sounded from its tender. It seemed as if I could see the soft light in grandfather’s eyes and hear his cheerful laughter.
4. Which best describes the 746 in the author’s eyes
A. It was taller than the author. B. Its price rose from $50 to $450.
C. It was the largest train in 1958. D. Its beauty was beyond compare.
5. How did the author feel when receiving his little Lionel plastic
A. Visibly relieved. B. Really excited.
C. Terribly shameful. D. Slightly unsatisfied.
6. What happened to the author in his 30s
A. He left his grandfather alone. B. He didn’t favor the 746 at all.
C. He attempted not to recall the past. D. He admired advanced toy trains.
7. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A. Toy Trains: Childhood in History B. The 746: Childhood Memories of Love
C. Toy Trains: Memories of A Generation D. The 746: A Perfect Gift from My Grandfather
【答案】4. D 5. D 6. C 7. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是篇记叙文。文章通过对作者自年少时到成年后对一辆玩具火车情感变化的描述，表达了他对祖父的思念之情。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“The smooth bullet-nose engine with its orange and yellow lines and shiny streamlined black tender (车厢) seemed to have cast a spell on me.”（光滑的子弹头发动机，橙色和黄色的线条，闪亮的流线型黑色发动机似乎对我下了魔咒。）和第二段“Together the engine and tender measured a little shy of 2 feet—enormous by the toy train standards of the day. Even better, the 746 had a working headlight and smoker, and its tender sang high.”（发动机和车厢加在一起差不多有2英尺—按照当时的玩具火车标准，这是巨大的。更好的是，746有一个工作的前灯和吸烟，火车声音响亮。）可知，作者对746玩具火车非常迷恋，认为它非常完美，无以伦比。故选D。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Instead, I had to be content with his little Lionel plastic, which was SIX INCHES shorter than the 746 and had no headlight, no smoker or no sound! ”（相反，我不得不满足于他的小Lionel塑料，它比746短6英寸，没有前灯，没有烟头，也没有声音！）可知，在作者看来，这个小Lionel 塑料和746相比差得太多，所以稍微有点不满意。故选D。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“Complicated sound systems and computer controls dominated toy trains. I never gave a look. My interest in toy trains, I firmly believed, had faded, nor did my admiration for the 746, since my grandfather was not with me. The 746 was never called to mind. ”（复杂的音响系统和电脑控制主导了玩具火车，我根本没看它一眼。我坚信，自从祖父不在我身边，我对玩具火车的兴趣已经消退，我对746的倾慕也没有了，我再也没有想起746。）可知，作者30多岁时，因为祖父不在了，所以他尽量不去回忆过去。故选C。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段“It seemed as if I could see the soft light in grandfather’s eyes and hear his cheerful laughter.”（我仿佛能看到祖父眼中柔和的光芒，听到他欢快的笑声。）和全文内容可知，文章以746火车玩具为主线，通过对作者自年少时到成年后对它情感变化的描述，表达了作者对童年时期祖父的爱的怀念。故选B。
C
Quantum theory (量子理论) is perhaps the most successful scientific idea ever. Yet, a century after its birth, something remains deeply puzzling about quantum theory. It does not tell us how physical systems behave. Instead, it treats any physical system as a black box: if you do this to it now, it will react like that later. What happens in between The theory simply doesn't tell us.
An idea has recently begun to catch on. Perhaps there is no need to make anything up about what lies behind quantum theory. Perhaps it really does reveal to us the deep structure of reality, where a property is no more than something that affects something else. Perhaps this is precisely what “properties” are: the effects of interactions.
Think of a simple object such as a blue teacup. Its being blue is not a property of the cup alone: colors happen in our brain as a result of the certain biological structure of our eyes and as a consequence of the interactions between daylight and the cup’s surface. Its being “a teacup" refers to its potential function as a drinking container: for an alien who doesn’t know about drinking tea, the very concept of a teacup is meaningless. As quantum theory shows: they are defined by their physical interactions with the rest of the world.
Then, it comes with a lesson. We understand reality better if we think of it in terms of interactions, not individuals. This is why, in classic game theory, the winners in the long run are those who cooperate. Too foolishly we measure success in terms of an individual’s fortunes. It misunderstands the true nature of reality, and is ultimately self-defeating, which leads to unimaginable consequence and prevents us from addressing challenges that all human-kind faces as a whole.
8. What possibly does quantum theory tell according to the text
A. How physical systems behave. B. How to treat physical systems.
C. What effects one has on itself. D. What the structure of reality is.
9. How does the author explain “the effects of interactions”
A. By giving an example. B. By making a comparison.
C. By quoting a scientist. D. By conducting a survey.
10. What does “It” in paragraph 4 refer to
A. The consequence we bear. B. The theory in classic games.
C. The fortunes individuals have. D. The way to measure success.
11. What is the main purpose of the text
A. To clarify a physics theory. B. To draw attention to interaction.
C. To challenge a popular idea. D. To present reflections on games.
【答案】8. D 9. A 10. D 11. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了量子理论向我们揭示了现实的深层结构以及相互作用的影响。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Perhaps it really does reveal to us the deep structure of reality, where a property is no more than something that affects something else.(也许它确实向我们揭示了现实的深层结构，一种属性只不过是影响另一种属性的东西)”可知，量子理论可能告诉我们现实的结构是什么。故选D。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Think of a simple object such as a blue teacup. Its being blue is not a property of the cup alone: colors happen in our brain as a result of the certain biological structure of our eyes and as a consequence of the interactions between daylight and the cup’s surface. Its being “a teacup" refers to its potential function as a drinking container: for an alien who doesn’t know about drinking tea, the very concept of a teacup is meaningless. As quantum theory shows: they are defined by their physical interactions with the rest of the world.(想想一个简单的物体，比如一个蓝色的茶杯。杯子是蓝色的并不仅仅是杯子的特性：我们大脑中的颜色是我们眼睛的某种生物结构的结果，也是日光和杯子表面相互作用的结果。“茶杯”指的是它作为一个饮用容器的潜在功能：对于一个不知道喝茶的外星人来说，茶杯的概念本身毫无意义。正如量子理论所表明的那样：它们是由它们与世界其他部分的物理相互作用来定义的)”可推知，作者举例说明解释“相互作用的影响”。故选A。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“Too foolishly we measure success in terms of an individual’s fortunes.”以及后文“misunderstands the true nature of reality, and is ultimately self-defeating, which leads to unimaginable consequence”可知，我们用个人的财富来衡量成功，这太愚蠢了，这种衡量成功的方法误解了现实的本质，最终会弄巧成拙，导致难以想象的后果。故it指的是“衡量成功的方法”。故选D。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“We understand reality better if we think of it in terms of interactions, not individuals. This is why, in classic game theory, the winners in the long run are those who cooperate. Too foolishly we measure success in terms of an individual’s fortunes. It misunderstands the true nature of reality, and is ultimately self-defeating, which leads to unimaginable consequence and prevents us from addressing challenges that all human-kind faces as a whole.(如果我们从相互作用而不是个体的角度来考虑现实，我们就能更好地理解现实。这就是为什么在经典博弈论中，长期的赢家是那些合作的人。我们用个人的财富来衡量成功，这太愚蠢了。它误解了现实的本质，最终会弄巧成拙，导致难以想象的后果，阻碍我们应对全人类共同面临的挑战)”可推知，文章的主要目的是吸引人们对相互作用的注意。故选B。
D
In 1879, an 8-year-old girl made a discovery that would rock our understanding of human history. On the walls of Altamira cave in northern Spain, she spotted amazing drawings of wild cows, painted in vivid red and black. More striking even than the images was their age: they were made thousands of years ago by modern humans’ supposedly primitive ancestors. Today, nearly 400 caves across Europe have been found decorated with hand stencils (模板), strange symbols and beautiful images of animals created by these skillful artists.
The discoveries led to the view that artistic talent arose after modern humans arrived in the region some 40,000 years ago, as part of a “cultural explosion” reflecting a flowering of the human mind. But more recent evidence has blown this idea out of the water. For a start, modern humans might not have been the first artists in Europe. What’s more, a collection of cave paintings emerging in Indonesia has dismissed the idea that Europe was the centre of creativity.
Local people have long known that the caves of the island of Sulawesi, Indonesia, contain many painted images. Modern humans are thought to have reached the region some 65,000 years ago, but nobody imagined the art could be very old because ancient paintings seem unlikely to survive in the environment of high temperatures. A team of researchers led by Maxime Aubert, now at Griffith University in Australia, upended this idea using a technique that is shifting our understanding of cave art. Using this technique in seven caves, they found a hand stencil was at least 39,900 years old, making it the oldest known hand stencil at that time.
This opened a floodgate to new discoveries in Indonesia. These included a hunting scene created at least 43,900 years ago, and by far the oldest descriptive artwork. “When we found that image, we were absolutely delighted, but when it turned out to be that old, we were almost jumping with joy,” says Adam Brumm, also at Griffith University.
12. What did the girl find in the cave
A. Wild animals. B. Ancient images.
C. Painting techniques. D. Recording artists.
13. What was a misunderstanding removed by recent evidence about the cave art
A. It can be traced back to Europe.
B. It reflected the flowering of human minds.
C. Modern humans led to its rise in Indonesia.
D. Modern humans might not have been real artists.
14. What does the underlined word “upended” mean in paragraph 3
A. Proved. B. Strengthened. C. Overturned. D. Overemphasized.
15. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about
A. The amazing discoveries. B. The researchers’ expectations.
C. The benefits of the technique. D. The description of the cave art.
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. C 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是篇说明文。文章主要是通过人们的发现和专家们的研究，探索古老的洞穴壁画艺术的悠久的历史。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“On the walls of Altamira cave in northern Spain, she spotted amazing drawings of wild cows, painted in vivid red and black. More striking even than the images was their age: they were made thousands of years ago by modern humans’ supposedly primitive ancestors. ”（ 在西班牙北部Altamira洞穴的墙壁上，她发现了用鲜艳的红色和黑色绘制的野生奶牛的惊人画作，比这些图像更引人注目的是它们的年代：它们是由现代人的原始祖先在几千年前制作的。）可知，这个女孩在洞穴发现了古老的图像。故选B。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“For a start, modern humans might not have been the first artists in Europe. What’s more, a collection of cave paintings emerging in Indonesia has dismissed the idea that Europe was the centre of creativity.”（首先，现代人可能不是欧洲最早的艺术家，更重要的是，在印度尼西亚发现的一组洞穴壁画驳斥了欧洲是创造力中心的观点。）可知，欧洲不是洞穴艺术的发源地，“洞穴艺术可以追溯到欧洲”这一想法是一种误解。故选A。
【14题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第三段“Modern humans are thought to have reached the region some 65,000 years ago, but nobody imagined the art could be very old because ancient paintings seem unlikely to survive in the environment of high temperatures. ”（现代人被认为在大约6.5万年前到达了这个地区，但没有人想到这些艺术品可能非常古老，因为古代绘画似乎不太可能在高温环境中存活下来。）和“Using this technique in seven caves, they found a hand stencil was at least 39,900 years old, making it the oldest known hand stencil at that time.”（在七个洞穴中使用这种技术，他们发现了一个至少有39900年历史的手模板，使其成为当时已知最古老的手模板。）可知，通过使用这种技术，人们发现了存活下来的古老的艺术平，改变了最初的想法；结合划线词所在句“A team of researchers led by Maxime Aubert, now at Griffith University in Australia, upended this idea using a technique that is shifting our understanding of cave art.”中的“using a technique that is shifting our understanding of cave art”（使用这种正在改变我们对洞穴艺术的理解的技术）可知，使用这项技术改变、颠覆了之前的想法，故“upended”意为“颠覆”。故选C。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段“This opened a floodgate to new discoveries in Indonesia. ”（这为印尼的新发现打开了闸门。）及“These included a hunting scene created at least 43,900 years ago, and by far the oldest descriptive artwork.”（其中包括至少43,900年前创作的狩猎场景，这是迄今为止最古老的描述性艺术品。）可知，最后一段主要在谈论在印尼发现的这些令人惊叹的艺术品。故选A。

The rest of the girls in my house are trying to put together a short humourous performance for the camp’s show, and l can see that it isn’t going to come together the way they imagine. ____16____. It seems as if I’m on the outside looking in when I’m supposed to be part of something. I want to speak up and tell them how to fix it, but I’ve learned that being a know-it-all does not make me popular.
____17____. I don’t enjoy humourous performances the way other girls my age do. I’m not comfortable hugging friends, but I do love listening to discussions about politics. ____18____. My fourth-grade report card outlined my social weaknesses with “needs improvement.”
It wasn’t until decades later that I learned my uniqueness has a name: autism. My diagnosis (诊断) at 46 was just as the process like discovering a piece of my brain, picking it up, and putting it in place. ____19____. What I’ve found out since is that there are a significant number of others like me—individuals who weren’t identified as having autism until midlife.
Today, I am an enterpriser. My firm is called Liberty Co., meaning that facing autism brings us freedom. My goal is to increase the population of autistic individuals in the workplace.___20___.
A. For the first time, I felt whole
B. I have a sixth sense about things like that
C. I feel lonely, but being lonely is better than being fooled

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者患有自闭症，从小与众不同，成年后才确诊，于是作者打算增加工作场所自闭症患者的数量，为自闭症患者发声。
【16题详解】
根据上文“I’m ten years old, away at my first sleepover camp. The rest of the girls in my house are trying to put together a short humourous performance for the camp’s show, and l can see that it isn’t going to come together the way they imagine. (我十岁，第一次去露营过夜。我家里的其他女孩正试图为夏令营的演出组织一个幽默的小表演，但我能看出，这不会像她们想象的那样完成)”可知，上文提到作者能看出表演不会像她们想象的那样完成，说明作者有看事情的第六感。故B选项“我对这类事情有第六感”符合语境，故选B。
【17题详解】
根据后文“I don’t enjoy humourous performances the way other girls my age do. I’m not comfortable hugging friends, but I do love listening to discussions about politics. (我不像其他同龄的女孩那样喜欢幽默的表演。我不喜欢和朋友拥抱，但我确实喜欢听有关政治的讨论)”可知，后文提到了作者的不同之处。故D选项“大多数人认为我有些地方‘与众不同’”符合语境，故选D。
【18题详解】
根据后文“My fourth-grade report card outlined my social weaknesses with “needs improvement.” (我四年级的成绩单上用“需要改进”来概括我的社交弱点)”可知，后文提到了给作者的评价是需要改变，说明周围的人不理解作者的不同之处，故G选项“这似乎消磨了我的朋友们，甚至我周围的成年人的耐心”符合语境，故选G。
【19题详解】
根据上文“It wasn’t until decades later that I learned my uniqueness has a name: autism. My diagnosis (诊断) at 46 was just as the process like discovering a piece of my brain, picking it up, and putting it in place. (直到几十年后，我才知道我的独特性有一个名字：自闭症。我46岁时的诊断过程就像发现了我大脑的一块碎片，把它捡起来，然后把它放回原位)”可知，上文把诊断比喻成碎片放回了原位，可见作者因此获得了完整。故A选项“我第一次觉得自己完整了”符合语境，故选A。
【20题详解】
根据上文“Today, I am an enterpriser. My firm is called Liberty Co., meaning that facing autism brings us freedom. My goal is to increase the population of autistic individuals in the workplace. (今天，我是一个企业家。我的公司叫自由公司，意思是面对自闭症给我们带来自由。我的目标是增加工作场所自闭症患者的数量)”可知，本句旨在说明作者增加工作场所自闭症患者的数量的作用：为我提供了一个为自闭症患者发声的机会。故E选项“这为我提供了一个为自闭症患者发声的机会”符合语境，故选E。

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
From the moment my husband brought home a box of six chicks from Tractor Supply Company, our nine-year-old, Sophie, didn’t let them out of her sight. She named them Trixie, Beauty, Sweet Pea, Speedie, Captain Flint, and Adrian (we were reading Treasure Island and watching Rocky at the time).
Sophie made a promise that she would take good care of them and took at least one chicken everywhere we let her. We were content with this; after all, it was a good way to make her dutiful and responsible. So when we wouldn’t let them sleep in her bed, she was very upset. She, actually, argued about this issue again and again, claiming that it is Duty NO.1 to company her baby chickens to sleep. Later, we made a compromise that we’ve allowed one inside at a time if Sophie immediately cleans up after the visit.
On a special festival, she dressed as a chicken and convinced us it was the turn of Trixie and Sweet to come with her to get candies from the neighbors — that’s Duty NO.2 to company her baby to have fun. The reactions from neighbors were quite amusing. “Wait, are these real chickens you’re holding ” “Of course! They’re my babies, and I am the mother.” Sophie answered excitedly. Trixie and Sweet cooed (咕咕叫) the whole time, seeming to make response.
One hot day, I buried myself in piles of work when Sophie rushed into the room, asking “Mommy, can I take Captain Flint to the pond ” To be frank, I didn’t quite catch what she said but still nodded, even without taking my eyes off the screen. She jumped to cheer. “Captain Flint, let’s head for the pond now!” “Coo, coo.” Then they rushed out of the room.
Several minutes later, I suddenly realized that Sophie just went to the pond with a chicken! Could Sophie swim No!!! Could chickens swim No!!! Could anything unexpected happen

【答案】范文
In case of emergency, I took a river tube (救生圈) and hurried to the pond. I sighed with relief when I saw my little girl sitting crouched by the lake with Captain Flint pacing around her. “What are you doing ” Hearing my voice, Sophie turned her head, rose immediately and danced toward me. “Mommy, look there! I’m making a ship for my Captain Flint.” Several small branches were carefully arranged, and some unknown thin long leaves tied them together. “Mum, but it still doesn’t look like a real ship”, Sophie murmured frustratedly. “What about this ” I raised the river tube, adding, “We can make it the body of the ship and the branches the board of it.” “Brilliant! Let’s start!” Her eyes relit with joy and we worked together to make a perfect ship.
Captain Flint’s ship would start its first sail. We put Captain Flint gently on the board, and use a long branch stuck to the ship to control the ship’s direction. It seemed quite excited about its first sail, flapping its wings and cooing melodiously. “Go, Captain Flint!” Sophie cheered, directing the ship have a short but encouraging sail. “Mommy, you know, it’s Duty NO. 3 to company her baby to finish their first adventure.” She look at me with a dazzling smile. I knew she enjoyed the process of “being a mother”, and moreover she understood and shouldered what is called responsibility. I gave her a bear hug, whispering, “You are my pride, honey.”

Back in 1958, I was crazy about the Norfolk and Western 746. The smooth bullet-nose engine with its orange and yellow lines and shiny streamlined black tender (车厢) seemed to have cast a spell on me.
Together the engine and tender measured a little shy of 2 feet—enormous by the toy train standards of the day. Even better, the 746 had a working headlight and smoker, and its tender sang high.
Unfortunately, the amazing 746 also had an amazing price—$50, equal to about $450 today. That was far more than my grandfather could afford. Instead, I had to be content with his little Lionel plastic, which was SIX INCHES shorter than the 746 and had no headlight, no smoker or no sound! But that was the best that my grandfather could give me at that time.
Years passed, and I was in my plicated sound systems and computer controls dominated toy trains. I never gave a look. My interest in toy trains, I firmly believed, had faded, nor did my admiration for the 746, since my grandfather was not with me. The 746 was never called to mind. On an ordinary day, however, I happened to see the 746 outside the window of a train show. Just one look, I could not look away. Childhood memories that I tried to hide in the depths of my heart raced through my mind, happy or sad.
That day I took the 746 home and placed it in the centre of the room, and let my childhood dream sing its way around me. Smoke rose out from the engine and the soft song sounded from its tender. It seemed as if I could see the soft light in grandfather’s eyes and hear his cheerful laughter.
4. Which best describes the 746 in the author’s eyes
A. It was taller than the author. B. Its price rose from $50 to $450.
C. It was the largest train in 1958. D. Its beauty was beyond compare.
5. How did the author feel when receiving his little Lionel plastic
A. Visibly relieved. B. Really excited.
C. Terribly shameful. D. Slightly unsatisfied.
6. What happened to the author in his 30s
A. He left his grandfather alone. B. He didn’t favor the 746 at all.
C. He attempted not to recall the past. D. He admired advanced toy trains.
7. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A. Toy Trains: Childhood in History B. The 746: Childhood Memories of Love
C. Toy Trains: Memories of A Generation D. The 746: A Perfect Gift from My Grandfather
C
Quantum theory (量子理论) is perhaps the most successful scientific idea ever. Yet, a century after its birth, something remains deeply puzzling about quantum theory. It does not tell us how physical systems behave. Instead, it treats any physical system as a black box: if you do this to it now, it will react like that later. What happens in between The theory simply doesn't tell us.
An idea has recently begun to catch on. Perhaps there is no need to make anything up about what lies behind quantum theory. Perhaps it really does reveal to us the deep structure of reality, where a property is no more than something that affects something else. Perhaps this is precisely what “properties” are: the effects of interactions.
Think of a simple object such as a blue teacup. Its being blue is not a property of the cup alone: colors happen in our brain as a result of the certain biological structure of our eyes and as a consequence of the interactions between daylight and the cup’s surface. Its being “a teacup" refers to its potential function as a drinking container: for an alien who doesn’t know about drinking tea, the very concept of a teacup is meaningless. As quantum theory shows: they are defined by their physical interactions with the rest of the world.
Then, it comes with a lesson. We understand reality better if we think of it in terms of interactions, not individuals. This is why, in classic game theory, the winners in the long run are those who cooperate. Too foolishly we measure success in terms of an individual’s fortunes. It misunderstands the true nature of reality, and is ultimately self-defeating, which leads to unimaginable consequence and prevents us from addressing challenges that all human-kind faces as a whole.
8. What possibly does quantum theory tell according to the text
A. How physical systems behave. B. How to treat physical systems.
C. What effects one has on itself. D. What the structure of reality is.
9. How does the author explain “the effects of interactions”
A. By giving an example. B. By making a comparison.
C. By quoting a scientist. D. By conducting a survey.
10. What does “It” in paragraph 4 refer to
A. The consequence we bear. B. The theory in classic games.
C. The fortunes individuals have. D. The way to measure success.
11. What is the main purpose of the text
A. To clarify a physics theory. B. To draw attention to interaction.
C. To challenge a popular idea. D. To present reflections on games.

In 1879, an 8-year-old girl made a discovery that would rock our understanding of human history. On the walls of Altamira cave in northern Spain, she spotted amazing drawings of wild cows, painted in vivid red and black. More striking even than the images was their age: they were made thousands of years ago by modern humans’ supposedly primitive ancestors. Today, nearly 400 caves across Europe have been found decorated with hand stencils (模板), strange symbols and beautiful images of animals created by these skillful artists.
The discoveries led to the view that artistic talent arose after modern humans arrived in the region some 40,000 years ago, as part of a “cultural explosion” reflecting a flowering of the human mind. But more recent evidence has blown this idea out of the water. For a start, modern humans might not have been the first artists in Europe. What’s more, a collection of cave paintings emerging in Indonesia has dismissed the idea that Europe was the centre of creativity.
Local people have long known that the caves of the island of Sulawesi, Indonesia, contain many painted images. Modern humans are thought to have reached the region some 65,000 years ago, but nobody imagined the art could be very old because ancient paintings seem unlikely to survive in the environment of high temperatures. A team of researchers led by Maxime Aubert, now at Griffith University in Australia, upended this idea using a technique that is shifting our understanding of cave art. Using this technique in seven caves, they found a hand stencil was at least 39,900 years old, making it the oldest known hand stencil at that time.
This opened a floodgate to new discoveries in Indonesia. These included a hunting scene created at least 43,900 years ago, and by far the oldest descriptive artwork. “When we found that image, we were absolutely delighted, but when it turned out to be that old, we were almost jumping with joy,” says Adam Brumm, also at Griffith University.
12. What did the girl find in the cave
A. Wild animals. B. Ancient images.
C. Painting techniques. D. Recording artists.
13. What was a misunderstanding removed by recent evidence about the cave art
A. It can be traced back to Europe.
B. It reflected the flowering of human minds.
C. Modern humans led to its rise in Indonesia.
D. Modern humans might not have been real artists.
14. What does the underlined word “upended” mean in paragraph 3
A. Proved. B. Strengthened. C. Overturned. D. Overemphasized.
15. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about
A. The amazing discoveries. B. The researchers’ expectations.
C. The benefits of the technique. D. The description of the cave art.

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
From the moment my husband brought home a box of six chicks from Tractor Supply Company, our nine-year-old, Sophie, didn’t let them out of her sight. She named them Trixie, Beauty, Sweet Pea, Speedie, Captain Flint, and Adrian (we were reading Treasure Island and watching Rocky at the time).
Sophie made a promise that she would take good care of them and took at least one chicken everywhere we let her. We were content with this; after all, it was a good way to make her dutiful and responsible. So when we wouldn’t let them sleep in her bed, she was very upset. She, actually, argued about this issue again and again, claiming that it is Duty NO.1 to company her baby chickens to sleep. Later, we made a compromise that we’ve allowed one inside at a time if Sophie immediately cleans up after the visit.
On a special festival, she dressed as a chicken and convinced us it was the turn of Trixie and Sweet to come with her to get candies from the neighbors — that’s Duty NO.2 to company her baby to have fun. The reactions from neighbors were quite amusing. “Wait, are these real chickens you’re holding ” “Of course! They’re my babies, and I am the mother.” Sophie answered excitedly. Trixie and Sweet cooed (咕咕叫) the whole time, seeming to make response.
One hot day, I buried myself in piles of work when Sophie rushed into the room, asking “Mommy, can I take Captain Flint to the pond ” To be frank, I didn’t quite catch what she said but still nodded, even without taking my eyes off the screen. She jumped to cheer. “Captain Flint, let’s head for the pond now!” “Coo, coo.” Then they rushed out of the room.
Several minutes later, I suddenly realized that Sophie just went to the pond with a chicken! Could Sophie swim No!!! Could chickens swim No!!! Could anything unexpected happen
