（二）

莅在南非南部海岸一个洞穴里所发现的古代非洲人的行为说明：

人类自古以来一直就像人

一样地生活，即一直制造工具，创立仪式和分享食物，最后经过漫长的历史发展到今天。

肃11．A主旨大意题。

文章首先提出：

古代人类一直就像人那样地生活，接着指出：

在南非南部海岸一个洞穴里发现的古代非洲人的行为线索就说明这一点，之后第三段提出ThecaveheldthreeimportantcluesaboutthebehavioroftheseStoneAgepeople.下文便介绍“Thecavehabitants'behavior”，由此判断全文的主要内容是：

Ancientcave

behavior。

B项过于抽象，C、D两项与文章内容不符合。

芃12．C细节理解题。

根据第五段Aroundthattime,theclimateinlandturned

relativelycoldanddry.Therefore,therewerefewerplantsandanimalstoeatawayfromthecoast.可知，古代非洲人是因为内陆气候相对寒冷干燥致使能吃的动植物越来越少才不得不南迁至海岸，由此可知，其南迁的主要目的是为了寻找食物求生存。

故选C。

羀13．A细节理解题。

根据倒数第二段Theresearchersthinkthatthecavehabitants

usedthepaintforcoloringtheirbodiesorforotherceremonies.可知，洞穴人会

用颜料装饰，故选A。

非洲人南迁才成了洞穴人，捕猎是他们南迁成为洞穴人之前的生活方

式，故排除B;C项错在only…roughblades”；D项内容在文中未提到。

肇14.D细节理解题。

根据第六段…menaremorelikelytohuntforbiganimalswhen

可判断D项正确。

peopleliveinland.Onthecoast,womenplayamoreimportantroleinprovidingfoodbygatheringplantsandshellfish.

袃15.B推理判断题。

由第一段可知，在南非南部海岸一个洞穴里发现的古代非洲人的

行为线索说明了：

人类自古以来一直就像人那样地生活，即一直制造工具，创立仪式和分享

食物，最后经过漫长的历史发展到今天，即:

现代人的行为是从古代逐渐发展而来的，故选

B项。
