听力原文: Science fiction is one of the most popular books today. Hundreds of tides are published every year and are read by all kinds of people. Furthermore, some of the most successful films of recent years have been based on science fiction stories. Science fiction is not a fairly new development in literature, its ancestors can be found in books written hundreds of years ago. Modern science fiction writers don't write a bout men from Mars or space adventure stories. They are more interested in predicting the results of technical developments on science and the human mind; or in imagining future worlds which are a reflection of the world which we live in now. Because of this their writing has obvious political undertones. In an age where science fact frequently overtakes science fiction, the writer may find it difficult to keep ahead of scientific advances.

听力原文: Many people catch a cold in the spring time or fall. It makes us wonder: if scientists can send a man to the moon, [33] why can't they find a cure for the common cold? The answer is easy. There're actually hundreds of kinds of cold viruses out there. You never know which one you will get, so there isn't a cure for each one. When a virus attacks your body, your body works hard to get rid of it. Blood rushes to your nose and causes a blockage in it. You feel terrible because you can't breathe well, but your body is actually eating the virus. Your temperature rises and you get a fever, but the heat of your body is killing the virus. You also have a running nose to stop the virus from getting into your cells. [34] You may feel miserable, but actually y9ur wonderful body is doing everything it can to kill the cold. Different people have different remedies for colds. In the United States and some other countries, for example, people might eat chicken soup to feel better. Some people take hot bath and drink warm liquids. Other people take medicines to relieve various symptoms of colds. There is one interesting thing to note. [35] Some scientists say taking medicines when you have a cold is actually bad for you. The virus stays in you longer, because your body doesn't develop a way to fight it and kill it.

Computer reconstructions of ancient skulls (头骨) show that our ancestors had ears built like ours as far back as 350,000 years ago. The ears of social mammals(哺乳动物) are typically designed to recognize sounds made by fellow species members. "So, humanlike ears suggest humanlike speech", say researchers from Spain.
Anthropologists(人类学家) don't know for sure when people started talking. To get a better idea, the new study focused on a group of fossils(化石) from a place in Spain called Sima de los Huesos. The fossils belong to a species(人种) called Homo heidelbergensis. Modem people did not evolve from H. heidelbergensis, but an ancient group called Neandertals might have.
Using a computerized scanner(扫描机), the researchers measured ear structures on the remains. Then, they used information about living people to make three-dimensional (三维的)computer models of what the ancient ears looked like. Finally, they measured how sound would pass through the model ears.
The results showed that the ears could handle almost exactly the stone range of sounds that our ears can today. The researchers suggest that hearing and talking developed in a common ancestor shared by both Neandertals and modern people.
Other experts are more skeptical(怀疑的). Some studies have turned up conflicting results about the ears and vocal chords(声带) of Neandertals. And anyway, hearing could have evolved long before talking. The two don't necessarily go together.
If it's true that our ancestors could talk more than 350,000 years ago, that brings up another question. What kinds of things did they talk about?
"Social mammals" in the second paragraph means "______".
A.our ancestors
B.a kind of ancient human tribe
C.Homo heidelbergensis
D.Neandertals
