    题目列表(包括答案和解析)

    阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项中选出最佳选项。

    　　Darwin was a great scientist．He studied living things in the world．

    　　He said，“There are thousands of different living things．But in the past，the number was smaller．In the far past，a still smaller number．And at the be-ginning，perhaps only one．”

    　　Darwin waited a long time before he put these things into a book．He always tried to add more and more facts；he wanted his ideas about evolution（进化）to be right．

    　　It took him many years to write the book．At the beginning，people bought every copy．However，men of churches fought against Darwin's ideas．His story of the world was different from theirs．So either Darwin or the men of the churches must be wrong．But the churches didn't bring any new facts，or better ideas．They only brought angry words．

    　　Later，Darwin wrote a book about the evolution of man．He said that man is also a kind of animal．And again，Darwin didn't just write down his own ideas，he filled his book with facts to support his theory．We know now that he was right．It's now widely believed that there have been mankind on our earth for more than a million years．We have found some of the palaeoanthropic（远古人的）bone fossils（化石）and those of other living things millions of years ago．These bone fossils have told us about the evolution of living things．

    　　Like any other animal，man has slowly evoluted through time．But we can't find the bone of man like us from a few million years ago．The world's animals were different then．

    　　But the bones can take us backwards（向后）through time into the past．And

    they can help us with our study of the evolution of life．

    1．Darwin believed that ________．

    [　　]

    A．there were living things in the past

    B．there would be a small number of living things in the future

    C．the number of living things had always been growing

    3．There were ________in Darwin's book．

    [　　]

    A．only view points

    B．only facts

    C．both viewpoints and facts

    D．angry words

    4．The men's bone fossils are important because ________．

    [　　]

    A．they help us with the study of the evolution of life

    B．they prove that everything Darwin said was true

    C．they show what men looked like in the past

    D．they tell us that there were men a few million years ago

    　　Jordan and Simpson are not 　　13　　 role models．They are past and present athletes who have used their 　　14　　 abilities to become national superstars．　　15　　 people see Jordan slam the door and they wanted to be like him．This is 　　16　　 parents would tell their children that these athletes can be 　　17　　 for their exceptional talent in sports, but 　　18　　 they live their lives 　　19　　 the court is what separates them from 　　20　　 heroes．
