Julia Morgan was born in 1872 and grew up in Qakland, California. At a time when it was uncommon for women to seek higher education and full- time careers, she became one of the most successful and well-known architects in the United States.
As a child and teenager, Morgan spent most of her time in California, but she also made several trips to New York to visit her extended family. She became close with an older cousin and her cousin’s husband, Pierre LeBrun, who was an architect in New York City. Sensing Morgan’s fascination with engineering and design, LeBrun and his wife encouraged Morgan to continue her education. With her parents’ agreement, Morgan enrolled at the University of California in Berkeley to study civil engineering.
Morgan was the only woman in her engineering program, and she did better than others in her classes. She dreamed of a career in architecture and decided to apply to the Paris School of Fi Arts to continue her studies. Though it took her several years to gain acceptance to this competitive school. she never stopped trying. She was finally admitted and quickly became successful at the institution. In fact, she graduated with her architecture degree in three years instead of the usual five.
Morgan then returned home to California and began her career as an architect in a large design firm, Among her many well-known clients was newspaper publisher William Randolph Hearst. He hired Morgan to design several buildings, including his largest estate, Hearst Castle. During these years, Morgan developed her signature architectural style.
Working for Hearst helped Morgan make name for herself, and she soon had enough clients to open her own architectural practice. Her services were in high demand following the San Francisco earthquake of 1906. Thanks to her training as an engineer, Morgan understood how to construct buildings that could resist forceful movement in the event of another earthquake.
But the projects dearest to Morgan’s heart were those that encouraged the education of women. She designed a series of buildings for the YWCA, an organization that provided classes and gathering spaces for young women. She also kept an eye on the master plan of Mills College, a women’s college outside of her hometown of Oakland, and contributed six buildings to its campus.

You are what you eat. This saying has proved scientists with clues about the diet of hominids — our early relatives of 3 million years ago.
Studying carbon atoms locked up in tooth-enamel, two researchers argued against the widely held belief that hominids ate little more than fruits and leaves. Sponheimer and Julia Lee-Thorp of the University of Cape Town, South Africa, report their findings in Friday’s Science.
There aren’t many clues for us to know the life of early hominids. The shape of hominids’ teeth offered the first clues. Large and flat-edged with thick enamel, they looked perfect for eating nuts and fruits, different from the sharp teeth one would want to tear into meat with. The first stone tools, which help in eating meat, didn’t appear until about half a million years later.
Scientists have also found marks on hominids’ teeth with patterns very similar to those in the teeth of modern-day fruit-eaters. Sponheimer and Lee-Thorp tried a new method. They studied the enamel for the carbon-13. Animals that eat grasses have higher carbon-13 levels than those eating fruits and other plants.
What they found was that the teeth of the hominids had an in-between amount of carbon-13, which meant not only they were eating fruits, they were eating a lot of grasses, or animals eating grasses. The lower carbon-13 levels could also come from eating certain types of insects,
But there are people who understand differently. Prof. Ungar of the University of Arkansas agrees the study offers new suggestions of hominid-diet, but disagrees about the suggestion that meat could explain the lower carbon-13 levels.
One suggestion might be true, though take good care of your teeth. In 3 million years, scientist might be using them to figure out what you ate for dinner.
4. The underlined word “hominids” means ________.
A. prehistoric animals living only on fruits and leaves
B. creatures that lived in the past, which humans developed from
C. ancient human-like animal never eating fruits and leaves
D. a certain type of insects with an in-between level of carbon-13
5. The two scientist’s finding were mainly based on the study about________.
A. the shape of hominids’ teeth B. the teeth marks of early fruit eaters
C. the grasses of 3 million years ago D. the make-up of the teeth enamel
6. What is it that Prof. Ungar finds doubtful
A. Hominids possibly ate grass-eating animals.
B. Hominids probably took good care of their teeth.
C. Hominids were basically fruit and grass-eaters.
D. Meat may explain the lower level of carbon -13.
7. The writer put forward the last suggestion to ________.
A. lead in more eco-topics B. arouse people’s awareness of dental health
C. to bring some fun to the readers D. emphasize the importance of what you eat
【答案】4. B 5. D 6. A 7. C
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。研究人员通过对牙釉质的研究，发现原始人并不是只吃水果和树叶。文章介绍了他们的研究过程、发现以及人们对此的看法。
【4题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段画线词后文“our early relatives of 3 million years ago (300万年前我们的早期亲属)”可知，hominids指的是300万年前我们的早期亲戚，即我们生活在过去的祖先。故画线词hominids意思是“生活在过去的生物，人类就是由此发展而来”。故选B。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Studying carbon atoms locked up in tooth-enamel, two researchers argued against the widely held belief that hominids ate little more than fruits and leaves.(通过研究牙釉质中的碳原子，两名研究人员反驳了人们普遍认为的原始人只吃水果和树叶的观点)”可知，这两位科学家的发现主要基于对牙釉质组成的研究。故选D。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第三段中“What they found was that the teeth of the hominids had an in-between amount of carbon-13, which meant not only they were eating fruits, they were eating a lot of grasses, or animals eating grasses.(他们发现，原始人的牙齿中含有介于两者之间的碳-13，这意味着他们不仅吃水果，还吃很多草，或者吃吃草的动物)”以及倒数第二段中“Prof. Ungar of the University of Arkansas agrees the study offers new suggestions of hominid-diet, but disagrees about the suggestion that meat could explain the lower carbon-13 levels. (阿肯色大学的Ungar教授同意这项研究为原始人类饮食提供了新的建议，但不同意肉类可以解释低碳-13水平的说法)”可推知，Ungar教授认为原始人不吃肉，所以他怀疑原始人可能吃食草动物。故选A。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“One suggestion might be true, though take good care of your teeth. In 3 million years, scientist might be using them to figure out what you ate for dinner.(有一个建议可能是对的，不过要好好照顾你的牙齿。300万年后，科学家可能会用它们来查明你晚餐吃了什么)”可推知，作者提出了最后的建议是为了给读者带来乐趣。故选C。
C
You’ve likely met the humblebrag before —— boasting (吹噓) in a way of a complaint, such as “I’m having such a worrying day. I got two job offers and I don’t know what to do.”
This is a typical example of humblebragging, a term coined by comedic writer Harris Wittels referring to “a specific type of boast that allows the offender to broadcast their achievements without the necessary shame and guilt that should normally accompany such claims.” In simpler terms, it’s a way to disguise a boast with some humility (谦让). Humblebragging comes in two different forms. The first is humility - based, an example being,＂can’t believe I got the highest grade in my class ”. The second type comes mixed with a bit of complaint, for example,＂I can’t believe that shopkeeper asked me for ID. I’m 25!”
People don’t like when others humblebrag because they find they are lacking in sincerity. Sincerity is a critical dimension of social evaluation, which is viewed as fundamental to people’s identity. In fact, people prize sincerity even above competence and warmth in others, according to Dr. Sezer.
If humblebragging doesn’t work, and no one likes it, why do we still do it We all want to highlight our positive qualities without seeming proud. By speaking in a complaint or an expression of humility, we hope we’ll somehow land on the “sweet spot” of self - presentation: promoting ourselves while also conveying likability. In addition, research suggests that people may experience positive feelings while humblebragging.
Considering that we’re all likely to feel the urge to humblebrag, at least to some extent, the proper response when we hear a friend doing it may be to simply let it go——because ultimately we’re going to do it ourselves, and who really wants to be called out on it
8. Which of the following remarks is an example of humblebragging
A. How I hate hearing my voice on TV!
B. I’m thrilled to be awarded the first prize.
C. I’m the only person to get promoted in the firm.
D. How I dislike doing the same thing every day!
9. Which can best describe people’s impression of, humblebraggers
A. Honest B. Humble. C. Insincere. D. Incapable.
10. What are people advised to do when hearing humblebragging from a friend
A. Follow it up B. Leave it alone. C. Turn against it D. Get to the root of it.
【答案】8. A 9. C 10. B
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇议论文。谈论了一种谦虚自夸的人——用抱怨的方式自夸，并建议遇到朋友这么做的时候不必追究。
8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“You’ve likely met the humblebrag before —— boasting (吹噓) in a way of a complaint, such as ‘I’m having such a worrying day. I got two job offers and I don’t know what to do.’ (你可能以前见过这种谦虚自夸的人——用抱怨的自我吹嘘，比如‘我这一天真让人担心。我得到了两份工作，但我不知道该怎么办。’)”可以推知，谦虚自夸就是用抱怨的方式自我吹嘘，选项A“我多讨厌在电视上听到我的声音!”在用抱怨的方式吹嘘自己经常在电视上露脸。故选A项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“People don’t like when others humblebrag because they find they are lacking in sincerity. (人们不喜欢别人谦虚自夸，因为人们发现他们缺乏诚意。)”可以推知，谦虚自夸的人会被认为不真诚。故选C项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Considering that we’re all likely to feel the urge to humblebrag, at least to some extent, the proper response when we hear a friend doing it may be to simply let it go——because ultimately we’re going to do it ourselves, and who really wants to be called out on it (考虑到我们都可能会有谦虚自夸的冲动，至少在某种程度上，当我们听到朋友这样做时，正确的反应可能是不予追究——因为最终我们会自己这么做，谁真的想在这方面被大声嚷嚷呢 )”可知，当听到朋友的谦虚自夸时，建议人们别管它，不必追究。故选B项。

Julia Morgan was born in 1872 and grew up in Qakland, California. At a time when it was uncommon for women to seek higher education and full- time careers, she became one of the most successful and well-known architects in the United States.
As a child and teenager, Morgan spent most of her time in California, but she also made several trips to New York to visit her extended family. She became close with an older cousin and her cousin’s husband, Pierre LeBrun, who was an architect in New York City. Sensing Morgan’s fascination with engineering and design, LeBrun and his wife encouraged Morgan to continue her education. With her parents’ agreement, Morgan enrolled at the University of California in Berkeley to study civil engineering.
Morgan was the only woman in her engineering program, and she did better than others in her classes. She dreamed of a career in architecture and decided to apply to the Paris School of Fi Arts to continue her studies. Though it took her several years to gain acceptance to this competitive school. she never stopped trying. She was finally admitted and quickly became successful at the institution. In fact, she graduated with her architecture degree in three years instead of the usual five.
Morgan then returned home to California and began her career as an architect in a large design firm, Among her many well-known clients was newspaper publisher William Randolph Hearst. He hired Morgan to design several buildings, including his largest estate, Hearst Castle. During these years, Morgan developed her signature architectural style.
Working for Hearst helped Morgan make name for herself, and she soon had enough clients to open her own architectural practice. Her services were in high demand following the San Francisco earthquake of 1906. Thanks to her training as an engineer, Morgan understood how to construct buildings that could resist forceful movement in the event of another earthquake.
But the projects dearest to Morgan’s heart were those that encouraged the education of women. She designed a series of buildings for the YWCA, an organization that provided classes and gathering spaces for young women. She also kept an eye on the master plan of Mills College, a women’s college outside of her hometown of Oakland, and contributed six buildings to its campus.

You are what you eat. This saying has proved scientists with clues about the diet of hominids — our early relatives of 3 million years ago.
Studying carbon atoms locked up in tooth-enamel, two researchers argued against the widely held belief that hominids ate little more than fruits and leaves. Sponheimer and Julia Lee-Thorp of the University of Cape Town, South Africa, report their findings in Friday’s Science.
There aren’t many clues for us to know the life of early hominids. The shape of hominids’ teeth offered the first clues. Large and flat-edged with thick enamel, they looked perfect for eating nuts and fruits, different from the sharp teeth one would want to tear into meat with. The first stone tools, which help in eating meat, didn’t appear until about half a million years later.
Scientists have also found marks on hominids’ teeth with patterns very similar to those in the teeth of modern-day fruit-eaters. Sponheimer and Lee-Thorp tried a new method. They studied the enamel for the carbon-13. Animals that eat grasses have higher carbon-13 levels than those eating fruits and other plants.
What they found was that the teeth of the hominids had an in-between amount of carbon-13, which meant not only they were eating fruits, they were eating a lot of grasses, or animals eating grasses. The lower carbon-13 levels could also come from eating certain types of insects,
But there are people who understand differently. Prof. Ungar of the University of Arkansas agrees the study offers new suggestions of hominid-diet, but disagrees about the suggestion that meat could explain the lower carbon-13 levels.
One suggestion might be true, though take good care of your teeth. In 3 million years, scientist might be using them to figure out what you ate for dinner.
4. The underlined word “hominids” means ________.
A. prehistoric animals living only on fruits and leaves
B. creatures that lived in the past, which humans developed from
C. ancient human-like animal never eating fruits and leaves
D. a certain type of insects with an in-between level of carbon-13
5. The two scientist’s finding were mainly based on the study about________.
A. the shape of hominids’ teeth B. the teeth marks of early fruit eaters
C. the grasses of 3 million years ago D. the make-up of the teeth enamel
6 What is it that Prof. Ungar finds doubtful
A. Hominids possibly ate grass-eating animals.
B. Hominids probably took good care of their teeth.
C. Hominids were basically fruit and grass-eaters.
D. Meat may explain the lower level of carbon -13.
7. The writer put forward the last suggestion to ________.
A. lead in more eco-topics B. arouse people’s awareness of dental health
C. to bring some fun to the readers D. emphasize the importance of what you eat
C
You’ve likely met the humblebrag before —— boasting (吹噓) in a way of a complaint, such as “I’m having such a worrying day. I got two job offers and I don’t know what to do.”
This is a typical example of humblebragging, a term coined by comedic writer Harris Wittels referring to “a specific type of boast that allows the offender to broadcast their achievements without the necessary shame and guilt that should normally accompany such claims.” In simpler terms, it’s a way to disguise a boast with some humility (谦让). Humblebragging comes in two different forms. The first is humility - based, an example being,＂can’t believe I got the highest grade in my class ”. The second type comes mixed with a bit of complaint, for example,＂I can’t believe that shopkeeper asked me for ID. I’m 25!”
People don’t like when others humblebrag because they find they are lacking in sincerity. Sincerity is a critical dimension of social evaluation, which is viewed as fundamental to people’s identity. In fact, people prize sincerity even above competence and warmth in others, according to Dr. Sezer.
If humblebragging doesn’t work, and no one likes it, why do we still do it We all want to highlight our positive qualities without seeming proud. By speaking in a complaint or an expression of humility, we hope we’ll somehow land on the “sweet spot” of self - presentation: promoting ourselves while also conveying likability. In addition, research suggests that people may experience positive feelings while humblebragging.
Considering that we’re all likely to feel the urge to humblebrag, at least to some extent, the proper response when we hear a friend doing it may be to simply let it go——because ultimately we’re going to do it ourselves, and who really wants to be called out on it
8 Which of the following remarks is an example of humblebragging
A. How I hate hearing my voice on TV!
B. I’m thrilled to be awarded the first prize.
C. I’m the only person to get promoted in the firm.
D How I dislike doing the same thing every day!
9. Which can best describe people’s impression of humblebraggers
A. Honest B. Humble. C. Insincere. D. Incapable.
10. What are people advised to do when hearing humblebragging from a friend
A. Follow it up B. Leave it alone. C. Turn against it D. Get to the root of it.
