10、l this year when we tried some of them. In fact, we reinvented it so much that it wasnt even Thanksgiving dinner anymore. We ate chicken with a Parmesan panko crust, roasted carrots, and a salad. For dessert (飯后甜點(diǎn)) we had bourbon pound cake with ice cream. In other words, it was like any other nice

11、meal Id have at my parents house.We had to do this out of necessity.

12、eal on Sunday. My whole family were so tired from pizza-making that we had no energy left for a feast. Then our lazy Thanksgiving dinner was made with what we already had.As usual the meal was delicious and the company pleasant, but it wasnt until after the weekend that I was left with a sense of lo

13、ss, as if something were missing. Thats when I realized that, for me, Thanksgiving is very much about the food, and no just the lovely people who share the dinner with me.

17、of the Pacifics biggest cultural festivals, there is no specific date for Nekowiar, a big event of colour and culture that is a true test of ones endurance (忍耐力), bringing together thousands of people from some of the most faraway villages on the Vanuatu island of Tanna.,Nekowiar, which takes months

18、 to prepare, is traditionally held every few years, but it has been eight years since the last one in 2012. No one knows when or where the next celebration will happen. This isnt an event for tourists though. Nekowiar has been called a peace-building exercise between warring tribes (部落), and a chanc

19、e for families to arrange marriages.At this years festival, hundreds of women and girls started the event by singing and dancing a traditional Napen from nightfall to sunrise. They only took breaks when they were too tired to continue. They had trained for months for this.The movements were so power

20、ful that dust(灰塵) rose from the dancers feet. Most of the dancers painted their faces in bright colourful designs that held special importance to their tribes.In the early hours of the third day, the men, teenagers and even young boys had their turn in a dance called Toka. Jimmy Kawiel performed the

21、 dance for the first lime this year, You need more energy for Toka, Mr. Kawiel said. Weve been practising for five to six months. It is a very big thing for us, especially when things are developing so fast and we are in danger of losing our culture.”Jean Pascal Wahe, from the Tafea Cultural Centre

When the tribes got caught up in fighting.C. When the tribes wanted to show off their power.D. When the tribes were worried

25、 about their culture.DOf all the animals on Earth, none are so driven to explore as humans. Other animals will go in search of food or water. But humans can be encouraged by the possibility of discovery. So what is it that caused us to spread out across the world 60, 000 years ago, instead of just s

26、taying in Africa?Perhaps its in our DNA. In 1999, Dr. Chuansheng Chen led a team of scientists who were studying a gene (基因) known as DRD4-7R. This gene is found in about 20% of all humans. Its been connected with higher rates of risk-taking, exploration, and interest in new ideas. Dr. Chen found th

27、at DRD4-7R is more common in societies that move around a lot than those who dont. For example, studies in Africa show that the gene is much more common in nomadic (游牧的) tribes than in tribes that prefer to stay in one place. Several other researchers have studied this topic and found additional evi

28、dence to support Dr. Chens research.But can a single gene be a drive for something as complex as the need to explore? Dr. Kenneth Kidd doesnt think so. He thinks DRD4-7Rmight increase curiosity, but other important sets of genes also give us great minds and skilled hands. He believes that not just o

29、ne gene, but groups of genes work together to create complex behaviors like exploration.The context we live in also plays a role in our need to explore. For example, during the European Age of Exploration, explorers became rich and famous for their discoveries. This drove others to try to increase t

30、heir wealth through exploration. In this case, their exploration was more likely driven by money than by genes.Maybe the need to explore comes from something inside us, such as the DRD4-7R gene. Or maybe it has more to do with whats happening in the world around us. Maybe its both. Whatever the reas

31、on, it seems we (or at least some of us) will keep exploring the mountains, the sea, the stars, and beyond, because thats just what humans do.32. What did Dr. Chen find about the DRD4-7R gene?A. It has more influence on Africans. B. It could be found in most humans.C. It prevents people in tribes fr

32、om exploring. D. It may be more common in people who like taking risks.33. What does Dr. Kenneth Kidd think of the DRD4-7R gene?A. It is not the only gene to encourage people to explore.B. It can drive people to have strange behaviors.C. It is more important than other genes.D. It cannot be found in

33、 animals.34. What did the example of the European Age of Exploration show?A. The purpose of exploring. B. The popularity of exploring.C. The importance of the context. D. The big changes of the context.35. Which of the following shows the organization of the text?P1P2P3P4P5P1P2P3P4P5P1P2P3P4P5A. B.
