一、阅读理解（共 40 分）

EUROPE is home to a variety of cultural treasures. Lonely Planet, the world’s

largest travel guide publisher, has offered pairs of cities for culture-hungry but

time poor travelers.

London and Paris

It takes you about two hours to travel from London to Paris by Eurostar, a high-

speed railway service. The two capital cities have been competing in fashion, art

and nightlife for decades — but each secretly looks up to the other.

No one can doubt the grand and impressive beauty of Paris’ Louvre Museum, but

if you want to save money, you cannot skip the British Museum free to visit.

Compared with London, Paris has more outdoor attractions, such as the beautiful

green walkway La Promenade Plantee.

In Paris, you’ll see diners linger(逗留) over red wine. While in London, you can

try some afternoon tea, eat fish and chips or salted cake.

Vienna and Bratislava

Austrian capital Vienna and Slovakia city Bratislava are an hour apart by train.

But since they are linked by the Danube River, the best way to travel is by ship. A

tour of the two cities is the perfect way to experience everything from 17th

century’s Habsburg dynast splendor to sci-fi restaurants.

Vienna is famous for Mozart and imperial palaces. You can appreciate the perfect

blending(融合) of architecture and nature in the grand Scholoss Schonbrunn

Palace, and reward yourself with a cup of Vienna coffee, which has made its way

to the world’s cultural heritage.

Bratislava is best known for its fine dining—the remarkable UFO restaurant. You

can enjoy a meat-filled dinner here in an amazing setting.

1．What’s the relationship between London and Paris according to the text?

A．They help each other. B．They attack each other.

C．They admire each other. D．They don’t like each other.

2．What are the advantages of Paris mentioned in the article?

a. Louvre Museum b. Free access to museums

c. More outdoor attractions d. Better wines and perfumes

A．ac B．cd C．acd D．bcd

3．Lonely Planet recommends these two pairs of cities because _________.

A．they are not expensive to visit

B．they are best known to the world

C．they are always enemies between each other

D．they are close but different in many aspects

“The first domestic geese may have lived about 7,000 years ago in what is

now China. That may make them the earliest bird to be domesticated, ” says

Masaki Eda at the Hokkaido University Museum in Sapporo, Japan. Eda is part of

a team that has unearthed an archaeological (考古的)site in Eastern China called

Tianluoshan, which was a Stone Age village between about 7, 000 and 5, 500

years ago. “Its resident lived basically by killing wild animals and looking for

plants that can be eaten, ”says Eda, “but they also grew rice. ”

The team has now identified 232 goose bones at Tianluoshan, four of which

belonged to immature geese that were less than 16 weeks old, with the youngest

probably less than 8 weeks old. This implies they must have hatched at

Tianluoshan, because they were too young to have flown in from elsewhere.

Some of the adult geese also seem to have been locally bred(饲养), based on the

chemical make-up of their bones, which reflects the water they drank. These

locally bred birds were all almost the same size, indicating captive breeding( 圈

养) . Finally, the team carbon-dated the bones and found that the locally bred

geese lived about 7, 000 years ago.

“The main thing that stood out for me is the fact they actually did radiocarbon

dating on the bird bones, ” says Julia Best at Cardiff University in the UK. This

makes the dating much more reliable than if the team had simply dated the

surrounding materials. ”If geese were domesticated 7, 000 years ago, that would

make them the first bird to be domesticated, ”says Eda. The other candidate is the

chicken, but there has been an argument over when and where this first

appeared, A study published in 2014 reported that chickens were domesticated

in Northern China as early as 10, 000 years ago, based on DNA from bones.

However, the bones weren’t directly dated and “a lot of the things they claimed

were chickens were pheasants(野鸡)”, says Best.

“Domestic chickens only appeared around 5,500 years ago. With the firm

evidence we currently have, I think it is true, ”she says, but adds that the

domestication of chickens is understudied, so the story could well change as more

evidence emerges.

4．What can we say about Tianluoshan?

A．It appeared at least 10, 000 years ago.

B．It was a Stone Age village in Northern China.

C．Its residents grew rice and kept geese as pets.

D．Its residents were essentially hunter-gatherers.

5．What is stressed in the second paragraph?

A．The main characteristics of geese

B．The proof of goose domestication
