Unit 5 Meeting your ancestors
【导语】 假如身处古罗马帝国曾经的土地,你会和作者有一样的感受吗?
It's easy to forget that more than two thousand years ago,much of Europe was part of the Roman Empire.Perigueux,where I am now living,is a very historic town.What is most surprising is that a lot of ancient architecture still exists today.There are small,cobbled streets.Stone towers are between the shops.Even my new residence is outside the remains of a Roman amphitheatre!The centre of this ancient structure has been turned into a park with a water fountain.It feels amazing to admire the ruins of the amphitheatre's stone walls.The walls have been here for so many years!
The park is a lovely place to relax.The air is cool,the trees provide shade,and there is constant sound of water softly flowing in the background.At the moment,I love the park because of all the crispy red leaves that litter the paths.Autumn is a beautiful season!
Although I enjoy the parks and historical sites in Périgueux,it is strange to live in such a small town.There aren't any shopping malls to visit at all.Sometimes the only
thing to do is walk around the town admiring the views.I'm still adapting to this slower pace of life.I've been told there are some museums in the town.I will have to check them out.It seems that after my time in France,I will know a lot about the Romans!
I've been in France for a month,and I miss my home sometimes. When I feel homesick,I often go for a walk outside.Spending time in nature is a good way to get relaxed.If I feel sad,I remind myself that I am lucky to be living in a new country.Everyone has been helpful since I arrived,which has helped me settle in.I found my first week of teaching very tiring,but I'm sure it will get easier.

Ⅳ.阅读理解
阅读下面短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。
Zhoukoudian is a small village situated about 50 kilometres to the southwest of Beijing.In the 1920s,archaeologists discovered some prehistoric human bones there which changed people's view of China's history.They came from an unknown species of man and were the first evidence of human life in China thousands of years ago.The remains were three teeth!
In 1929,a complete skull was also discovered.Eventually,archaeologists found almost 200 items,including six skulls and more than 150 teeth.These discoveries proved the existence of a human species that lived in the area between 700,000 and 200,000 years ago.Four sites where Beijing Man and his relatives lived were discovered on the northern face of Longgushan.They lived in the caves in the area.
However,the life span of Beijing Man was short.About 70% of the people probably died before the age of 14.Fewer than 5% lived to the age of 50.Ashes were found alongside the fossils which showed they had used fire for cooking food and also for light,warmth,and protection against wild animals.This is the earliest evidence of the use of fire anywhere in the world.They also made tools of bones and stones.Unfortunately,when Japan invaded China in 1937,excavations at the Beijing Man Site stopped and most of the fossils disappeared,including a Beijing Man skull.After the People's Republic of China was established in 1949,the work started again.
Zhoukoudian was listed as a World Heritage Site in December 1987.It has not only given us important information about prehistoric Asian societies,but also provided amazing evidence about the process of evolution.Today,parts of the caves have been badly affected by rain.Some areas are almost completely covered in weeds,causing serious damage.Pollution from the nearby factories has also contributed to the problem.This is a very serious matter and the Chinese Academy of Sciences is trying to raise public awareness of it.

答案:A
