[单项选择]About 30 000 to 40 000 years ago, specimens of Neanderthal man disappear abruptly from the fossil record and are replaced by what is known as Cro-Magon man, or sometimes as Upper Pleistocene man, who is physically indistinguishable from modern Homo Sapiens. We do not know what became of the Nean-derthals. Perhaps they were exterminated in warfare, although there is no evidence of this. Perhaps they were simply unable to compete for food and living space with the better-equipped Cro-Magnon type. Perhaps they interbred, although there are no clear traces of intermediate forms. Some have suggested that Cro-Magnon men brought with them some disease to which they themselves were resistant and the Neanderthals were not. In any case, soon after the appearance of Cro-Magnon man, there were no other hominids in Europe, and within the course of 10000 to 20000 years, this new variety of primate had spread the face of the planet.

[单项选择]For most of us, work is the central, dominating fact of life. We spend more than half our conscious hours at work, preparing for work, travelling to and from work. What we do there largely determines our standard of living and to a considerable extent the status we are accorded by our fellow citizens as well. It is sometimes said that because leisure has become more important the indignities and injustices of work can be pushed into a corner; that because most work is pretty intolerable, the people who do it should compensate for its boredoms, frustrations and humiliations by concentrating their hopes on the other parts of their lives. I reject that as a counsel of despair. For the forseeable future the material and psychological rewards which work can provide, and the conditions in which work is done, will continue to play a vital part in determining the satisfaction that life can offer. Yet only a small minority can control the pace at which they work or the conditions in which their

[填空题]A bank is a business establishment that safeguards people’s money and uses it to make loans and investments. Banks differ in the services they provide and in how they are owned.
Commercial banks are the most numerous banks in the United States. They offer a full range of services, including checking and savings accounts, loans, and trust services. They primarily serve the needs of businesses but also offer their services to individuals.
A commercial bank is owned by stockholders who buy shares in it. In return for investing in the bank’s stock, the stockholders expect the bank to pay them cash dividends from its profits.
Saving and loan associations are the second largest group of deposit institutions in the United States. Savings and loans, as they are often called, were established to help people to purchase homes. Through the years they have been the chief source of home mortgages. Traditionally, they loaned money to businesses only for real estate construction.

[单项选择]The importance of the independents is a matter not just of acclaim but of commerce, look at the films that make the most money worldwide for each dollar spent in making them. The best performers are often the work of independents; they may be quirky; they may appeal to minorities; they may be funny. What they are almost without exception not is big Hollywood studio dramas. Indeed, many are not even American. The Academy has taken notes. This year two fifths or more of nominees in most major categories came from beyond America.
In itself, that’s hardly a threat to Hollywood--co-opting foreign and immigrant talent has been one of its great strengths. The documentary maker Keiko Ibi wept when she won: "Who would have thought a girl from Japan could make a movie about Jewish senior citizens and actually receive this award." Martin Scorsese praised Elia Kazan’s "lifelong quarrel with his adopted country." But it’s not just foreign talent; foreign ideas are slipping in as well. On four
