An article published recently in the scientific journal Nature is shedding new light on an important, but so far little has been appreciated, aspect of human evolution. In this article, Professors Dennis Bramble, and Daniel Lieberman suggest that the ability to run was a decisive factor in the development of our species. According to the two scientists, humans posss a number of anatomical（人体结构的）features that make them surprisingly good runners. “We are very confident that strong lection for running，which came at the expen of the historical ability to live in trees-was helpful in the origin of the modern human body form,” says Bramble, a biology professor at the University of Utah. Traditional thinking up to now has been that the upright body form of modern humans has come about as a result of the ability to walk, and that running is simply a by-
product of walking.
Furthermore, humans have usually been regarded as poor runners compared to such animals as dogs, hors or antelopes. However, this is only true if we consider fast running over short distances. Even Olympic athlete can hardly run as fast as a hor can gallop, and can only keep up a top speed for fifteen conds or so. Hors and antelopes, on the other hand, can run at top speed for veral minutes, clearly outperforming us in this respect. But when it comes to long-distance running, humans do astonishingly well. They can maintain a steady pace for miles, and their overall speed compares favorably with that of hors or dogs.
Bramble and Lieberman examined twenty-six anatomical features found in humans. One of the most interesting of the is the nuchal ligament（颈背的韧带）. When we run, it is this ligament that prevents our head from pitching back and forth or from side to side. Therefore, we are able to run with steady heads held high. The nuchal ligament is not found in any other surviving primates（灵长类动物）, although the fossil（化石）record shows that Homo erectus, an early human species that walked upright, much as we do, a
lso had one. Then there are our Achilles tendons（跟腱）at the backs of our legs, which have nothing to do with walking. When we run, the tendons behave like springs, helping to push us forward. Furthermore, we have low, wide shoulders, virtually disconnected from our skulls (the bony part of the head), another anatomical adaptation which allows us to run more efficiently.cad显示线宽
But what evolutionary advantage is gained from being good long-distance runners One assumption is that this ability may have permitted early humans to obtain food more effectively. “What the features and fossil facts appear to be telling us is that running evolved in order for our direct ancestors to compete with other carnivores (animals that eat meat) for access to the protein needed to grow the big brains that we enjoy today.” says Lieberman.
1. .We can learn from the passage that the human ability to run _______.
A. was only recently described in a scientific journal
B. played an important part in human evolution
C. was considered more natural than the ability to live in trees
D. contributed to the form of human language
2. .According to the cond paragraph, humans _______
A. are better runners than most other animals
B. are not good at running short distances
C. compare unfavorably with hors and dogs
D. are poor long-distance runners
3..It appears that the nuchal ligament _______.
A. enables us to run with steady heads
B. is found in modern primates only
C. prevents the head from being held high
D. is a unique feature of carnivores
端午节手抄报简单4 .The passage does NOT tell us that _______
A. early humans had an advantage in obtaining food thanks to the running ability
B. fossils help us better understand human evolution.
C. our Achilles tendons are an adaptation for running efficiently
D. big brains may have been evolved for running long-distance乒乓球的规则
答案：1. B 2. B 3. A 4. D
解析：
1. 推断题。由第一段“Professors Dennis Bramble, and Daniel Lieberman suggest that the ability to run was a decisive factor in the development of our species. ”和最后一段““What the features and fossil facts appear to be telling us is that running evolved in order for our direct ancestors to compete with other carnivores (animals that eat meat) for access to the protein needed to grow the big brains that we enjoy today.” says Lieberman.”可知，故选B。
2. 细节题。由第二段“But when it comes to long-distance running, humans do astonishingly well. ”可知，故选B。
3. 细节题。由第三段’ Therefore, we are able to run with steady heads held high. “可知，故选A。
4. 细节题。文章并没有说到“big brains may have been evolved for running long-distance”，故选D。
