填空题{{B}}Directions:{{/B}}You are going to read a list of headings and a text
about Amazonia. Choose the most suitable heading from the list A-F for each
numbered paragraph (41-45). The first and last paragraphs of the text are not
numbered. There is one extra heading which you do not need to use. Mark your
answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.

of early human impact In 1942 Allan R Holmberg, a doctoral
student in anthropology from Yale University, USA, ventured deep into the jungle
of Bolivian Amazonia and searched out an isolated band of Siriono Indians. The
researcher described the primitive society as a desperate struggle for survival,
a view of Amazonia being fundamentally reconsidered today. 41.
____________ The Siriono, Holmberg wrote, led a "strikingly
backward" existence. Their villages were little more than clusters of thatched
huts. Life itself was a perpetual and punishing search for food: some families
grew manioc and other starchy crops in small garden plots cleared from the
forest, while other members of the tribe scoured the country for small game and
promising fish holes. When local re-sources became depleted, the tribe moved
on. As for technology, Holmberg noted, the Siriono "may be classified among the
most handicapped peoples of the world". Other than bows, arrows and crude
digging sticks, the only tools the Siriono seemed to possess were "two machetes
worn to the size of pocket-knives". 42. ____________
Although the lives of the Siriono have changed in the intervening decades,
the image of them as Stone Age relics has endured. To casual observers, as well
as to influential natural scientists and regional planners, the luxuriant
forests of Amazonia seem ageless, unconquerable, a habitat totally hostile to
human civilization. The apparent simplicity of Indian ways of life has been
judged an evolutionary adaptation to forest ecology, living proof that Amazonia
could not—and cannot—sustain a more complex society. Archaeological traces of
far more elaborate cultures have been dismissed as the ruins of invaders from
outside the region, abandoned to decay in the uncompromising tropical
environment. 43. ____________ The popular
conception of Amazonia and its native residents would be enormously
consequential if it were true. But the human history of Amazonia in the past
11,000 years betrays that view as myth. Evidence gathered in recent years from
anthropology and archaeology indicates that the region has supported a series of
indigenous cultures for eleven thousand years; an extensive network of complex
societies—some with populations perhaps as large as 100,000—thrived there for
more than 1,000 years before the arrival of Europeans. Far from being
evolutionarily retarded, prehistoric Amazonian people developed technologies and
cultures that were advanced for their time. If the lives of Indians today seem
"primitive", the appearance is not the result of some environmental adaptation
or ecological barrier; rather it is a comparatively recent adaptation to
centuries of economic and political pressure. 44.
____________ The evidence for a revised view of Amazonia will
take many people by surprise. Ecologists have assumed that tropical ecosystems
were shaped entirely by natural forces and they have focused their research on
habitats they believe have escaped human influence. But as the University of
Florida ecologist, Peter Feinsinger, has noted, an approach that leaves people
out of the equation is no longer tenable. The archaeological evidence shows that
the natural history of Amazonia is to a surprising extent tied to the activities
of its prehistoric inhabitants. 45. ____________
The realization comes none too soon. In June 1992 political and
environmental leaders from across the world met in Rio de Janeiro to discuss how
developing countries can advance their economies without destroying their
natural resources. The challenge is especially difficult in Amazonia. Because
the tropical forest has been depicted as ecologically unfit for large-scale
human occupation, some environmentalists have opposed development of any kind.
Ironically, one major casualty of that extreme position has been the environment
itself. While policy makers struggle to define and implement appropriate
legislation, development of the most destructive kind has continued apace over
vast areas. The other major casualty of the "naturalism" of
environmental scientists has been the indigenous Amazonians, whose habits of
hunting, fishing, and slash-and-burn cultivation often have been represented as
harmful to the habitat. In the clash between environmentalists and developers,
the Indians have suffered the most. The new understanding of the pre-history of
Amazonia, however, points toward a middle ground. Archaeology makes clear that
with judicious management selected parts of the region could support more people
than anyone thought before. The long-buried past, it seems, offers hope for the
future.

A child who has once been pleased with tale likes, as a rule,
to have it retold in identically the same words, but this should not led parents
to treat printed fairy stories as sacred texts. It is always much better
to tell a story than read it {{U}}(41) {{/U}} of a book, and, if a
parent can produce {{U}}(42) {{/U}} in the actual circumstances of the
time and the individual child, is an improvement on the printed text, so much
the better. A charge made against fairy tales is that they harm
the child by frightening him or arousing his sadistic impulses. To prove the
{{U}}(43) {{/U}}, one would have to show in a controlled experiment that
children who have read fairy stories were more often guilty of cruelty than
those who had not. Aggressive, destructive, sadistic impulses every child has
and, {{U}}(44) {{/U}} the whole, their symbolic verbal discharge deems
to be rather a safety valve than an incitement to overt action. As to fears,
there are, I think, well-authenticated cases of children {{U}}(45)
{{/U}} dangerously terrified by some fairy story. Often, however, this
arises from the child having heard the story once. Familiarity with the story by
repetition turns the pain of fear {{U}}(46) {{/U}} the pleasure of a
fear face and mastered. There are also people who object to
fairy stories on the grounds {{U}}(47) {{/U}} they are not objectively
true, that giants, witches, two-headed dragons, magic
carpets, etc, do not exist, and that, instead of indulging, his fantasies
{{U}}(48) {{/U}} fairy tales, the child should be taught how to adapt to
reality by studying history and mechanics. I find such people, I must confess,
so unsympathetic and peculiar that I do not know how to argue with them. If
their cases {{U}}(49) {{/U}} sound there should be full of madmen
attempting to fly from New York to Philadelphia on broomstick {{U}}(50)
