俱乐部经理Peter Brown将和他的队友们在12天之内步行穿越辛普森沙漠，同时他们也会做一件有意义的事情：为慈善机构筹集资金。
16．C 考查动词辨析。Peter Brown将率队友试图在12天内步行穿越辛普森沙漠。enter表示“进入”；flee表示“逃走，逃离”；cross表示“穿过”；search表示“搜查，搜身”。根据语境及四个选项的含义可知，空格处应该使用“cross”。
17．B 句意：只有一个队友曾经徒步穿越沙漠，没有借助任何支持。support意为“支持”，符合语境。
18．A 这名队员用了17天完成了穿越沙漠的旅程。journey表示“旅行，旅程”；vacation表示“假期，休假”；cause表示“起因，缘故”；competition表示“比赛，竞赛”。根据语境可知，A项正确。
19．A 每个队员拉着装载生活用品的小车。四个选项均为名词，supply表示“生活用品，供给品”；content表示“内容，目录”；collection表示“收藏品，收集物”；document表示“公文，文件”。根据语境可知，空格处应该使用“supplies”。
20．C 为了保持每天行走33公里的目标，他们需要日出前出发，一直走到日落。make out表示“辨认出，理解”；figure out表示“领会到，理解”；keep up表示“保持，继续”；bring up表示“抚养，教育，培养”。根据语境可知，keep up为最佳答案。
21．D 根据下文中的“25℃”可知，空格处应该使用“temperature”，其他选项明显与语境不符。
22．C 根据语境及常识可知，在沙漠地带，昼夜温差是比较大的，因此，此处应该指的是夜晚的温度在零度以下。
23．D Peter以前曾经带领俱乐部成员进行过类似的挑战。根据语境可知，空格处应该使用“similar”。
24．C on average表示“平均”；at least表示“至少”；by far表示“到目前为止”；in particular表示“特别，尤其”。在四个选项中，只有by far可以用来修饰形容词最高级the most ambitious，由此可知，答案选C。
25．A 根据语境可知，此处指的是为World Vision筹集资金。raising有“筹集”之意，符合语境，其他选项与文意不符。
26．B 句意：观看人们在必要的情况下所表现出的坚强和全神贯注是有趣的。在四个选项中，B项符合语境。
27．D personally表示“亲自地，就自己而言”；generally表示“一般地，通常”；readily表示“乐意地，立即”；mentally表示“心理上，精神上”。根据语境可知，空格处应该使用mentally，表示“精神上集中”。
28．D explore表示“探险，探测”；seek表示“寻找，寻求”；contribute表示“贡献出，捐献”；realize表示“领会，了解，认识到”。Peter认为他们的表现超出了自己的想象，在四个选项中，realized符合语境。
29．B 根据下文可知，他们是步行穿越沙漠的，空格处应该使用“walking”。
30．A 由语境可知，队员Geoff Robinson在加入俱乐部前从未进行过训练，由此可知，“before”符合语境。
31．B 根据上文“This is going to be huge for him.”可知，这对于Geoff来说是一个非常大的挑战，起初他跑不了100米。在四个选项中，couldn't符合语境。
32．A 由于运动量比较大，因此Geoff的体重下降了，lost符合语境。
33．B 根据下文“…has already collected $11，000.”及语境可知，此处指的是为慈善机构工作。
34．D 句意：这个队之所以为该慈善组织工作是因为该项目是针对澳大利亚偏远地区设立的。programmes“项目”符合语境。
35．C Peter想和队友们一起把有意义的东西奉献给这个国家。根据语境可知，空格处应该使用something。

Small discoveries in Indonesia are causing a stir in the science world. Researchers have excavated tiny bones that they believe belong to an entirely new human species. If that’s true, it will change how we think about our ancestors.
Clues that the little people may have lived long ago were first issued last year in the scientific journal Nature. Scientists said that they had found the bones of a three-foot-tall female on the island of Flores in Indonesia. When they looked more closely, they saw that the nearly complete skeleton(骨架) belonged to a full-grown adult. Researchers named her Hobbit after the tiny heroes of the Lord of the Rings books.
Now the team is saying it has excavated even more pieces of the puzzle, including a jawbone and parts of arms, legs and hands from several individuals, as well as stone tools. They reported their find in Nature this month. “The new evidence makes it very clear that these people are a new species, distinct from modern humans.” Peter Brown, a scientist on the team, said. They named these ancient humans Homo floresiensis.
Brown says that these little people lived as recently as 12,000 years ago. If Homo floresiensis was a different species from modern humans, that would make our family tree bigger than we knew, It means, says Brown, that “until recently a relative shared the planet with us.”
Many scientists think a new species is unlikely. Some argue that the bones must have belonged to modern humans whose small size was the result of a genetic problem.
Daniel E. Lieberman, a scientist at Harvard University, thinks that the debate over the discovery is healthy. He believes that the questions and arguments raised by critics will help us learn more about these unusual skeletons. “Disagreement is an important part of the scientific process,” Lieberman said, “As far as I’m concerned, the story’s only just begun.”
68. Researchers name the skeleton Hobbit because________.
A.it is a figure described in the Lord of the Rings
B.it resembles the tiny heroes in a set of books
C.it proves to be a full-grown adult
D.it belongs to an ancient human species
69. Small discoveries in Indonesia are important because_______.
A. they are issued in the scientific journal Nature
B. they are made by Peter Brown, a famous scientist
C. they are about ancestors of modern humans
D. they might provide new evidence for human study
70. According to Daniel E. Lieberman_________.
A. Homo floresiensis doesn’t exist B. disagreement leads to further research
C. the research hasn’t begun yet D. our family tree is bigger than we know
71. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?
A. Comparison Between Different Peoples B. Arguments Over Human Origin
C. Discovery of a Possible New Human Species D. History of Indonesian People
