For about a thousand years the peaceful people known as the Taino had thrived in modern-day Cuba and many other islands. But less than 30 years after Columbus' arrival, the Taino would be destroyed by Spanish weaponry, forced labor and European diseases. Unlike their distant cousins, the Inca, Aztecs and Maya, the Taino left no pyramids or temples—no obvious signs that they had ever existed. But it is a mistake to assume—as many scholars have until quite recently—that the absence of abundant artifacts meant the Taino were necessarily more primitive than the grander civilizations of Central and South America. They simply used less durable materials: the Taino relied on wood for building and most craftwork, and much of what they made has disintegrated over the centuries. However, thanks largely to two remarkable digs undertaken recently, archaeologists will be able to enrich their knowledge of the Taino. There nearly intact remains of a Taino dwelling buried in the dirt. This site may have been one of the Taino's major centers. Meanwhile, deep in the forests of the Dominican Republic, a U. S.-Dominican team has also made an important discovery: a 240-ft. deep Taino cenote, or ceremonial well, where hundreds of objects thrown in as offerings have been preserved in the oxygen-poor water. It will take a much longer time to understand the Taino fully, but they have been rescued from the ignoble status of footnotes in the chapter of history that began with the arrival of Columbus.

单选题{{B}}Passage 2{{/B}} Nearly two thousand years have passed since a census decreed by Caesar Augustus became part of the greatest story ever told. Many things have changed in the intervening years. The hotel industry worries more about overbuilding than overcrowding, and if they had to meet an unexpected influx, few inns would have a manger to accommodate the weary guests. Now it is the census taker that does the traveling in the fond hope that a highly mobile population will stay put long enough to get a good sampling. Methods of gathering, recording, and evaluating information have presumably been improved a great deal. And where then it was the modest purpose of Rome to obtain a simple head count as an adequate basis for levying taxes, now batteries of complicated statistical series furnished by governmental agencies and private organizations are eagerly scanned and interpreted by sages and seers to get a clue to future events. The Bible does not tell us how the Roman census takers made out, and as regards our more immediate concern, the reliability of present day economic forecasting, there are considerable differences of opinion. They were aired at the celebration of the 125th anniversary of the American Statistical Association. There was the thought that business forecasting might well be on its way from an art to a science, and some speakers talked about newfangled computers and high-falutin mathematical systems in terms of excitement and endearment which we, at least in our younger years when these things mattered, would have associated more readily with the description of a fair maiden. But others pointed to the deplorable record of highly esteemed forecasts and forecasters with a batting average below that of the Mets, and the President-elect of the Association' cautioned that "high powered statistical methods are usually in order where the facts are crude and inadequate, the exact contrary of what crude and inadequate statisticians assume". We left his birthday party somewhere between hope and despair and with the conviction, not really newly acquired, that proper statistical methods applied to ascertainable facts have their merits in economic forecasting as long as neither forecaster nor public is deluded into mistaking the delineation of probabilities and trends for a prediction of certainties of mathematical exactitude.

单选题Most people who travel long distances complain of jetlag (飞行时差反应). Jetlag makes business travelers less productive and more prone 21 making mistakes. It is actually caused by 22 of your "body clock"—a small cluster of brain cells that controls the timing of biological 23 . The body clock is designed for a 24 rhythm of daylight and darkness, so that it is thrown out of balance when it 25 daylight and darkness at the wrong times in a new time zone. The 26 of jetlag often persist for days 27 the internal body clock slowly adjusts to the new time zone. Now a new anti-jetlag system is 28 that is based on proven 29 pioneering scientific research. Dr. Martin Moore-Ede has 30 a practical strategy to adjust the body clock much sooner to the new time zone 31 controlled exposure to bright light. The time zone shift is easy to accomplish and eliminates 32 of the discomfort of jetlag. A successful time zone shift depends on knowing the exact time to either 33 or avoid bright light. Exposure to light at the wrong time can actually make jetlag worse. The proper schedule 34 light exposure depends a great deal on 35 travel plans. Data on a specific flight itinerary (旅行路线) and the individual"s sleep 36 are used to produce a Trip Guide with 37 on exactly when to be exposed to bright light. When the Trip Guide calls 38 bright light, you should spend time outdoors if possible. If it is dark outside, or the weather is bad, 39 you are on an aeroplane, you can use a special light device to provide the necessary light 40 for a range of activities such as reading, watching TV or working.
