人教新目标(Go for it)版初中英语八年级下册Unit 7单元测试卷
You may love to see tigers at the zoo. But what if you had to stay with one on a boat on the open sea for over 200 days? Life of Pi(《少年派的奇幻漂流》), the movie from American Chinese director(导演), Li An, tells an amazing story.
Pi is a boy. He lives happily with his family in a beautiful Indian town. His father has a zoo, so Pi knows a lot about animals.
But one day, his father decides to move to Canada. He will sell all his animals there. The family begin to sail on the Pacific with all the zoo animals. But a big storm(暴风雨) hits their ship at night. Finally, Pi finds the only survivors(幸存者) are himself and a large tiger called Parker on an 8-meter boat.
To keep himself alive, Pi has to keep feeding the tiger so that he himself does not get eaten. He tries to get on well with the tiger during a 227-day sail on the sea.
The movie is from a Canadian writer Yann Martel's book of the same name. The book has sold 7 million copies worldwide. It discusses not only hope but also relationship(关系) between humans and nature.
It took Li An four years to make the movie. He also used 3D for his first time. He hopes the movie will "make the people think". Life of Pi opened in Chinese theaters on November 22, 2012.

Do you have a tail? Of course not, we know. But tails are like opinions, actually, everyone has them: fishes, birds, most reptiles, and even some of our closest relatives
Since tails first evolved(进化) at least 500 million years ago. Geckos (壁虎)use them to store fat. birds use them to steer through the air, But for most mammals (哺乳动物).{#blank#}1{#/blank#}Yet, as you get closer to humans on the evolutionary tree, tails disappear, Gorillas(大猩猩)don' t have them, and neither do chimps(黑猩猩) or any other apes (类人猿) including us, of course, To understand why, take a look at how we walk.
{#blank#}2{#/blank#}walking like this gives us a huge advantage because unlike four﹣legged animals. which have to pour energy into every step they take, two legs take advantage of gravity(重力),which does some of the work for us. You see, each time we take a step, gravity pulls us forward. The end result is that when we walk, we use around 25% less energy than walking on all fours, and this way of getting around also totally eliminate (淘汰) the need for a tail.
It's said that you can still see a reminder of a time when our ancient ancestors had one. Just look at a human spine(脊椎).{#blank#}3{#/blank#}That's your tailbone. It's all that's the rest of our tail.
Now, babies are born with what looks like a tail, but that's not what's really going on. Most often, these tails are actually a parasitic twin(寄生虫). These types of tails usually form as a birth defect(瑕疵).{#blank#}4{#/blank#}
So the tail of humans has gone, it's the result of evolution millions of years Will humans be much taller, stronger or smarter in the future?
| A. Nowadays, humans can walk completely upright. B. And in these situations, doctors will advise to remove the tails with no harm to the babies C. they serve one major purpose—balance. D. You can see how the last few bones are partly fused(融合) together |
