A
When anyone opens a current account at a bank, he is lending the bank money, repayment of ____1_____ he may demand at any time, either in cash _____2____ by _______3_______(draw) a cheque in favour of another person. ______4_______(Primary), the banker-customer relationship is that of debtor and creditor _____5______ is which depending on ______6_______ the customer’s account is in credit or is overdrawn. But, in addition to that _____7______(basic) simple concept, the bank and its customer owe a large number of obligations to one another. Many of these obligations can give rise to problems and complication but a bank customer, unlike, say, a buyer of goods, cannot complain that the law is loaded against him.
The bank must obey its customer’s instructions, and not those of anyone else. When, for example, a customer first _____8_____(open) an account, he instructs the bank to debit his account only in respect of cheques _____9_____(draw) by himself. He gives the bank specimens of his signature, and there is a very firm rule that the bank has no right or authority to pay out a customer’s money on a cheque on which its customer’s signature has been forged. It makes no difference that the forgery may have been a very skillful one: the bank must recognize it customer’s signature. For this reason there is no risk to the customer in the practice, _____10_____(adopt) by banks, of printing the customer’s name on his cheques. If this facilitates forgery, it is the bank ____11____ will lose, not the customer.

Jane Munga grew up in Nyeri, a rural town in Kenya. She notes that internet service providers cover most parts of Africa. Yet two-thirds of Africans still can't or don't use the internet, she says. Around the globe, some 2. 9 billion people——or not quite four in every 10—are not connected, which sets up a so-called digital divide, where some people are connected and others aren't. And this is a big problem.
In very remote places like Ivujivik, there may be no local health specialists, banks or sources of world news. High-speed internet is the best way to share these essential services. Other people may need high-speed internet to run a business or get an education.
Back in 2016, the United Nations declared internet access to be a basic human right. “The internet is an equalizer,” says Munga. She now works on technology policy at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace in Washington, D. C.
More and more modem technologies and internet services, such as Zoom, only work well with high-speed internet. Although cellular signals （蜂窝信号）can provide such access, they aren't as reliable as the fiber-optic cables （光纤电缆）that bring high speeds to much of the world. And those cables still do not reach many rural areas.
But several new technologies are helping to finally connect these places. Lines of low-flying satellites can bounce internet signals between Earth and space to link up remote sites. Unused TV channels can carry internet instead of shows. Lasers can even zap （快速传递）internet through the air.
New tech is crucial to bringing good internet access to those who don't yet have it. But this isn't enough. Education, funding from governments or non-profit groups, and community-led efforts at the local level should help bring the internet to people who lack it. To get everyone online, tech companies and these other groups must all work together.
1. What is the problem mentioned in paragraph 1
A. People cannot really know about Africa. B. There are too many rural towns in Africa.
C. Many Africans show no interest in the internet. D. Many people lack access to the internet worldwide.
2. What does the author want to show in paragraph 2
A. Now people can get a further education online. B. Having access to high-speed internet is important.
C. Local health specialists are important in rural areas. D. Running a business in remote places is challenging.
3. What do we know about cellular signals
A. They have drawn attention of new technologies. B. They aren't affected by the weather.
C. They have an advantage over the fiber-optic cables. D. They don't provide satisfying high-speed internet.
4. Which of the following shows the author's opinion
A. Technology alone won't fix the digital divide. B. There‘s no good internet access in Africa now.
C. Governments worldwide should work together. D. Lacking funding has mainly caused the digital divide.
C
Archaeologists in Norway said on Tuesday they had found a runestone （如尼石刻） which they claim is the world's oldest, saying the inscriptions（铭文）are up to 2, 000 years old and date back to the earliest days of the history of runic writing.
Runes are the characters in several Germanic alphabets that were used in northern Europe from ancient times until the adoption of the Latin alphabet. They have been found on stones and different household objects.
Older runes have been found on other items, but not on stones. The earliest runic find is on a bone comb found in Denmark. Kristel Zilmer, a professor at University of Oslo, said that maybe the tip of a knife or a needle was used to carve the runes.
The flat, square block of brownish sandstone has carved scribbles, which may be the earliest example of words recorded in writing in Scandinavia, according to the Museum of Cultural History in Oslo. It stated it was “among the oldest runic inscriptions ever found “and “the oldest datable runestone in the world.”
The runestone was discovered in the fall of 2021 during an excavation of a grave near Tyrifjord, west of Oslo, in a region known for several monumental archaeological finds. Items in the cremation (火化)pit-burnt bones and charcoal—indicate that the runes likely were inscribed between AD 1 and AD 250.
Measuring 31 centimeters by 32 centimeters (12. 2 inches by 12. 6 inches) , the stone has several types of inscriptions, but not all make linguistic sense to researchers. Eight runes on the front of the stone read “idiberug” 一which could be the name of a woman, a man or a family.
Zilmer called the discovery the most sensational thing that he, as an academic, has had. There is still a lot of research to be done on the rock, named the Svingerud stone after the site where it was found. “Without doubt, we will obtain valuable knowledge about the early history of runic writing,” Zilmer said.
1. What do the words of archaeologists in Norway tell us about the runestone
A. It has the oldest runes ever found. B. It has several Germanic alphabets on it.
C. It is so far the oldest runestone ever found. D. It has the earliest words recorded in writing.
2.What do we know about the inscriptions on the runestone
A. They contain descriptions of historical events. B. Not all of them contribute to linguistic research.
C. They mainly show the information of a woman. D. All of them were carved at the same time.
3.What does the underlined word “sensational” in the last paragraph mean
A. Exciting. B. Interesting. C. Difficult. D. Normal.
4.In which column of a newspaper could we read this article
A. Technology. B. Entertainment. C. Culture. D. Education.
D
Dozens of fossilized teeth and jawbones unearthed in northern Canada belonged to two species of early primates （灵长类）that lived in the Arctic around 52 million years ago, researchers reported on January 25, 2023 in PLOS ONE, These remains are the first primate fossils ever discovered in the Arctic and tell of a groundhog-sized animal that may have skittered across trees in a swamp that once existed above the Arctic Circle.
The Arctic was significantly warmer during that time. But creatures still had to adapt to extreme conditions such as long winter months without sunlight. These challenges make the presence of primate creatures in the Arctic “incredibly unbelievable,” says coauthor Chris Beard, a paleontologist at the University of Kansas in Lawrence. “No other primate or primate relative has ever been found this far north so far.”
For the new study, Beard and his colleagues examined dozens of teeth and jawbone fossils found in the area, concluding that they belong to two species, Ignacius mckennai and Ignacius dawsonae. These two species belonged to a now- extinct genus of small mammals that was widespread across North America during the Eocene. The Arctic variants （变种）probably made their way north as the planet warmed, taking advantage of the new habitat opening up near the pole.
Newly arrived Ignacius would have had to adapt to these conditions. Unlike their southern relatives, the Arctic Ignacius had unusually strong jaws and teeth suited to eating hard foods, the researchers found. This may have helped these early primates feed on nuts and seeds over the winter, when fruit wasn't as readily available.
“This research is important because it can shed light on how animals can adapt to living in extreme conditions. Ellesmere Island is arguably the best deep time analog（类似物）for a mild, ice-free Arctic,” says Jaelyn Eberle, a vertebrate paleontologist at the University of Colorado Boulder. Studying how plants and animals adapted to this remarkable period in Arctic history, Beard says, could offer clues to the Arctic's future residents.
1. How did Chris Beard react to the finding according to paragraph 2
A. He got a bit disappointed. B. He knew it was impossible.
C. He found it quite shocking. D. He considered it quite reasonable.
2. What did researchers find about Ignacius according to the text
A. Most Ignacius couldn't have fruit in summer. B. The southern Ignacius didn't eat nuts at all.
C. Only a few Ignacius could survive in the south. D. The Arctic Ignacius adapted well to the environment.
3. How does the author develop the last paragraph
A. By quoting words. B. By raising questions. C. By making comparisons. D. By analyzing statistics.
4. What is the main idea of the text
A. New species were found in the Arctic. B. Research shows there was once life in the Arctic.
C. A new habitat once opened up near the north pole. D. Fossils suggest early primates once lived in the Arctic.
