Thediscovery of a dwarfed(矮个子) "humanbeing" who lived in Flores, Indonesia, up to 18,000 years ago is changingthe way we think about the human family. This "Flores Human" was threefoot tall and her brain was smaller than that of the average chimp ( 黑猩猩), yet she and her relatives apparently lived fully human lives.They seem to have made tools, worked together to find food and cook it, andperhaps even burried their dead with ceremony.
It was a major surprise to find tools associated with the newhuman family member. The tools are like those formerly seen only with Europeanfossils(化石) from our own species;Homo sapiens (智人) ;and the oldest of them were made 9,400 years ago. Homo sapiens isthought to have arrived in the island about 4,000 years ago, much too late tobe responsible for the tools. If this tiny human made the tools, then theinside structure(结构) of its brain must have been morelike our own than a chimp′s, despite being just a third the size of ours.
This "new human" was suspected to be a dwarfed branch ofHomo erectus (直立人,). When creatures are separated in regionswith rare resources but few enemies, being big is a disadvantage, and evolutiontends to shrink them, a process known as island dwarfing. Could naturalselection make a human smaller while keeping--even improving--mental ability?Quite possibly, believes Christopher Wills of the University of California.
Has the "Flores Human" even shown the ability oflanguage? "I find it difficult to imagine that people could make tools,use fire, and kill large animals without fairly advanced communication,"Wills says. Did "Flores Human" possess the basic components of humanculture--such as the burying of the dead with ceremony? Emiliano Bruner of theItalian Institute points out that Indonesia′s hot,wet environment is bad forfossilization. It is reasonable to assume, he says, that the 18,000-year-oldbones of the most complete Flores woman were well-preserved because she wasburied with special care.
第48题单选 According to the passage,"Flores Human"__
A.lived a partly human life
B.was a branch of Homo sapiens

Banksare not ordinarily prepared to pay out all accounts; they rely on depositors(储户)not to demand payment all at the same time. If depositors shouldcome to fear that a bank is not safe, that it cannot pay off all itsdepositors,then that fear might cause all the depositors to appear on the same day.If they did, the bank could not pay all accounts. However, if they did not allappear at once, then there would always be enough money to pay those who wantedtheir money when they wanted it. Mrs.Elsie Vaught has told us of a terrifyingbank run that she experienced. One day in Decemer of 1925 several banks failedto open in a city where Mrs. Vaught lived. The other banks expected a run the nextday,and so the officers of the bank in which Mrs. Vaught worked as a teller hadenough money on hand to pay off their depositors. The officers simply told thetellers to pay on demand. The next morning a crowd gathered in the bank and onthe sidewalk outside. The length of the line made many think that the bankcould not possibly pay off everyone. People began to push and then to fight forplaces near the tellers′ windows. The power of the panic atmosphere was suchthat two tellers, though they knew that the bank was quite all right and couldpay all depositors, drew their own money from
the bank. Mrs. Vaught says that she haddifficulty keeping herself from doing the same.
第52题单选 A bank run happens when __
A.a bank is closed for one or more days
