We are the products of evolution,and not just evolution that occurred billions of years
ago.As scientists look deeper into our genes( 基 因 ),they are finding examples of human
evolution in just the past few thousand years.People in Ethiopian highlands have adapted to
living at high altitudes.Cattle-raising people in East Africa and northern Europe have gained a
mutation(突变) that helps them digest milk as adults.
On Thursday in an article published in Cell,a team of researchers reported a new kind of
adaptation — not to air or to food,but to the ocean.A group of sea-dwelling people in
Southeast Asia have evolved into better divers.The Bajau,as these people are known,number
in the hundreds of thousands in Indonesia,Malaysia and the Philippines.They have
traditionally lived on houseboats;in recent times,they’ve also built houses on stilts(支柱) in
coastal waters.“They are simply a stranger to the land,”said Rodney C.Jubilado,a University
of Hawaii researcher who studies the Bajau.
Dr. Jubilado first met the Bajau while growing up on Samal Island in the
Philippines.They made a living as divers,spearfishing or harvesting shellfish.“We were so
amazed that they could stay underwater much longer than us local islanders,”Dr. Jubilado
said.“I could see them actually walking under the sea.”
In 2015,Melissa Ilardo,then a graduate student in genetics at the University of
Copenhagen,heard about the Bajau.She wondered if centuries of diving could have led to the
evolution of physical characteristics that made the task easier for them.“It seemed like the
perfect chance for natural selection to act on a population,”said Dr. Ilardo.She also said there
were likely a number of other genes that help the Bajau dive.
1.What does the author want to tell us by the examples in paragraph 1?
A.Environmental adaptation of cattle raisers.
B.New knowledge of human evolution.
C.Recent findings of human origin.
D.Significance of food selection.
2.Where do the Bajau build their houses?
A.In valleys.
B.Near rivers.
C.On the beach.
D.Off the coast.
3.Why was the young Jubilado astonished at the Bajau?
A.They could walk on stilts all day.
B.They had a superb way of fishing.
C.They could stay long underwater.
D.They lived on both land and water.
4.What can be a suitable title for the text?
A.Bodies Remodeled for a Life at Sea
B.Highlanders’ Survival Skills
C.Basic Methods of Genetic Research
D.The World’s Best Divers
参考答案:
本文是一篇说明文。人类会因为长期的特殊生活环境而进化。本文主要介绍了生活在印
度尼西亚、马来西亚和菲律宾海岸的巴夭人,并对其生活和居住方式进行了说明。
1.B 推理判断题。第一段讲到人类是进化的产物。不过随着科学家对基因的深入研究,
他们发现了人类在过去几千年里进化的例子。据此可知,这里是要介绍关于人类进化的
新知识。故选 B 项。
2.D 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“They have traditionally lived on houseboats; in recent
times,they’ve also built houses on stilts in coastal waters.”可知,传统上,巴夭人住在船屋上;
不过最近他们还在沿海水域的支柱上建造了房屋。故选 D 项。
3.C 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“We were so amazed that they could stay underwater
much longer than us local islanders...”可知,令 Jubilado 感到惊讶的是,巴夭人居然在水下停
留的时间比当地岛民还要长。故选 C 项。
4.A 标题归纳题。文章主要讲述了居住在海上的巴夭人由于生活环境特殊而进化,故 A
项“为(适应)海上生活而重新塑造的躯体”适合做标题。
