Zhoukoudian is a small village situated about 50 kilometers to the southwest of Beijing. In the 1920s, archaeologists discovered some prehistoric human bones there which changed people’s view of China’s history. They came from an unknown species of man and were the first evidence of human life in China thousands of years ago. The remains were three teeth!
In 1929, a complete skull was also discovered. Eventually, archaeologist found almost 200 items, including six skulls and more than 150 teeth. These discoveries proved the existence of a human species who lived in the area between 700,000 and 200,000 years ago. Four sites where Beijing Man and his relatives lived were discovered on the northern face of Longgushan. They lived in the caves in the area.
However, the life span of Beijing Man was short. About 70% of the peole probably died before the age of 14. Fewer than 5% lived to the age of 50. Ashes were found alongside the fossils which showed they had used fire for cooking food and also for light, warmth, and protection against wild animals. This is the earliest evidence of the use of fire anywhere in the world. They also made tools of bones and stones. Unfortunately, when Japan invaded（侵略） China in 1937, excavations（挖掘） at the Beijing Man Site stopped and most of the fossils disappeared, including a Beijing Man skull. After the People’s Republic of China was established in 1949, the work started again.
Zhoukoudian was listed as a World Heritage Site in December 1987. It has not only given us important information about prehistoric Asian societies, but also provided amazing evidence about the process of evolution. Today, parts of the caves have been badly affected by rain. Some areas are almost completely covered in weeds, causing serious damage. Pollution from the nearby factories has also contributed to the problem. This is a very serious matter and the Chinese Academy of Sciences is trying to raise public awareness of it.

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多途选项。
Laser(激光)is short for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation．Laser light is different from daylight or electric lights．Industry put lasers to work almost immediately after they were invented in nineteen sixty． 1 ．
The first medical operation using a laser took place the year following its invention．Doctors Charles Campbell and Charles Koester used a laser to remove a tumor from a patient's eye at Columbia-Presbyterian Hospital in New York City． 2 ．
Lasers have made measurement an exact science．Astronomers have used lasers to measure the moon's distance from Earth． 3 ．For example, drawing a perfectly level straight line on a construction site is easy using a laser．
4 ．And the jewelry industry uses lasers to write on the surface of the world's hardest substance, diamonds．
Lasers are found in many products used almost everywhere．Over one hundred years ago, writers imagined that beams of light could be powerful weapons．Today, lasers guide missiles and bombs．American defense companies are working on giant laser guns recognizable to science fiction fans everywhere． 5 ．
Scientific American magazine says huge lasers turn only about twenty to thirty percent of the energy they use into a laser beam．The rest is lost as heat．

For many years, enironmental problems have been a major concern to people. Almost all things are related to the word “Green”, say, green buildings. A green building means not only the colour of the paint. Also, it also refers to environmentally friendly houses, factories and offices.
Green building means “reducing the impact（影响）of the building on the land”, Taryn Holowka of the US Green Building Council in Washington.D.C. said. According to Holowka, buildings account for 65 percent of total US electricity use.
But green buildings can reduce energy and water use. Also, the buildings are often located near public transportation such as buses and subways, so that people can drive their cars less. That could be good for the environment, because cars use lots of gas and give off pollution. Green buildings are often built on developed land, so that the buildings don’t destroy forests.
Marty Dettling is project manager for a building that put these ideas into action. The Solaire has been called the country’s first green high-rise building. According to Dettling, “We’ve reduced our energy use by one-third and our water by 50 percent.”
The Solaire cuts energy in part by using solar power. “On the surface of the building we have solar panels（电池板）which change the sun’s energy into electricity,” Dettling explained.
The Solaire also has lights that automatically turn off when people leave the room. In addition, the building has lots of windows, allowing people to use the sun for light during the day. The Solaire cuts water by reusing it.
Not everyone is eager to move into a green building, however. Some people think that things like solar panels cost more money than more traditional energy source. Anyhow, Holowka said, “It is going to take off.”
“A green building”most refers to a____________ building according to the passage.
A. not ripe or modern B. covering green color
C. environmentally friendly D. fresh or new
All of the following are the reasons why green buildings are environmentally friendly except that_______.
A. they can reduce energy and water use in many ways
B. they are often built on an area of land which has already been used for buildings.
C. people can collect energy from sunsight to heat water and produce electricity
D. they are equipped with lots of modern but cheaper equipment
According to the passage, green buildings don‘t usually stand on faraway and inconvenient areas bacause________.
A. the places will cause a lot of trouble and inconvenience to consruction work
B. cars will give off more pollution and more forests will be destroyed
C. the environment of the places is not better than that of big cities
D. the places are poorly equipped and unfriendly.
The underlined sentence “It is going to take off” in the last paragraph most probably means that green buildings__________.
A. will become successful and popular very quickly
B. will be begining to disappear
C. will be more modern.
D. will replace traditional buildings.
The text mainly deals with the topic that_______.
A. Dettling designed the first green building in the US.
B. Energy shortage calls for buildings of new design
C. The Solaire serves as a model of high buildings.
D. Green buildings help save environment.
