They don39。t grow food, raise animals or build houses. Instead they live a life unchanged for more than ten thousand years. Their world is one of plete freedom — something modern society can barely imagine and is unlikely to ever experience, let alone have the skills to stay alive. Text messages and phone calls don39。t exist. Nor do cars and electricity. No jobs, timetables, and social structures. No laws, taxes and unbelievably, no money — the closest thing to currency (交易) is the trade for a pair of shorts with a neighboring tribe. We spent our time with the Hadza hunting baboons (狒狒), a daily activity for the men. Their land is packed with sharp bushes, poisonous snakes and maneating lions. But a successful hunting trip is the difference between eating or going hungry. The Hadza diet consists mainly of honey, fruit and meat. Men often hunt in pairs to shoot animals with bows and arrows. The Hadza show us how to track animals, from baboons to snakes to lions. They are hugely skilled with their handmade bows and arrows — we have a go and barely get the arrow to go three feet in front of us. The language of the Hadza is believed to be the oldest stillspoken language known to man. The Hadza don39。t have conflict, and have no memory of starvation. Their population never reaches numbers that cannot be supported through hunting or gathering. They never get from their land more than they need. Unlike modernday office workers, the Hadza enjoy an extraordinary amount of free time. Their “work” — hunting for food — takes up around five hours of their day. They39。ve been in such a state of peaceful existence for thousands of years.(1)We can learn from the text that the Hadza_______. A.lead a very simple lifeB.live on traditional agricultureC.have their own system of currencyD.show a lot of interest in new technology(2)Which of the following can describe the Hadza39。s environment? A.Stressful.B.Comfortable.C.Exciting.D.Dangerous.(3)The relationship between the Hadza and nature_______. A.is going wrongB.is full of conflictC.is in perfect harmonyD.is changing all the time(4)Why does the author e to visit the Hadza? A.To study their native language.B.To get to know their way of life.C.To learn survival skills from them.D.To persuade them to protect animals.【答案】 (1)A(2)D(3)C(4)B 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文,介紹了哈扎人的生活方式:他們生活簡單,主要以狩獵為生。他們和大自然和諧相處,長期以來過著平和的生活。 (1)考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第一段和第二段中的“Instead they live a life unchanged for more than ten thousand years. Text messages and phone calls don39。t exist. Nor do cars and electricity. No jobs, timetables, and social structures. No laws, taxes and unbelievably, no money — the closest thing to currency (交易) is the trade for a pair of shorts with a neighboring tribe.”可知,他們過著一萬年不變的生活……短信和電話根本不存在。汽車和電力也沒有。沒有工作、時間表和社會結(jié)構(gòu)。沒有法律、稅收。難以置信的是,沒有錢。由此可以推知,the Hadza過著非常簡單的生活。故選A。 (2)考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第三段中的“Their land is pack
