The discovery and utilization of fire, a simple energy source with many profound uses, was a turning point in the technological evolution of mankind. The exact date of its discovery is not known; evidence of burnt animal bones at the Cradle of Humankind suggests that the domestication of fire occurred before 1,000,000BCE; scholarly consensus indicates that Homo erectus had controlled fire by between 500,000BCE and 400,000BCE. Fire, fueled with wood and charcoal, allowed early humans to cook their food to increase its digestibility, thereby improving its nutrient value and broadening the number of foods that could be eaten.
Other technological advances made during the Paleolithic (旧石器时代的)era were clothing andshelter; the adoption ofboth technologies cannot be dated exactly, but they were key to humanity's progress.
As the Paleolithic era progressed, dwellings became more sophisticated and more elaborate; as early as 380,000BCE, humans were constructing temporary wood huts. Clothing, adapted from the fur and hides of hunted animals, helped humanity expand into colder regions; humans began to migrate out of Africa by 200,000BCE and into other continents.

听力原文： People say that to get up early in three mornings is equal to one day of time. Early rising is beneficial in more than one way. First, it helps to keep us fit. We all need fresh air. But air is never so fresh as early in the morning. Besides, it improves our health to take our morning exercises.
Secondly, early rising helps us in our studies. In the morning our mind is clear, and we learn more quickly. We find it easier to memorize what we learn. The study is very efficient then.
Thirdly, early rising enables us to plan our work for the day. We cannot work well without a proper plan. Just as the plan for the year should be made in foe spring, so the plan for the day should be made in the morning.
Fourthly, early rising gives us enough time to get ready for our work, such as to brush our teeth, take a shower, get dressed, and eat our breakfast properly.
Finally, there is less traffic on the way. Buses and cars are not crowded, and there are less traffic jams. The fore, it takes less time to get to our schools and work places.
Late risers may find it very difficult to cultivate the habit of early rising. Since they already know the benefits of early rising, they ought to make up their minds and make a special effort to do so.

B．Benefits of early rising.

The only way is up
Think of a modern city and the first image that come to mind is the skyline．It is full fof great buildings，pointing like fingers to heaven．It is true that some cities don’t permit buildings to go above a certain height．But these are cities concerned with the past．The first thing nay city does when it wants to tell the world that it has arrived is to build skyscrapers．
When people gather together in cites，they create a demand for land．Since cities are places where money is made，that demand can be met．And the best way to make money out of city land is to put as many people as possible in a space that covers the smallest amount of ground． That means building upwards．
The technology existed to do this as early as the 19th century．But the height of buildings was limited by one important factor．They had to be small enough for people on the top floor to climb stairs．People could not be expected to climb a mountain at the end of their journey to work，or home．
Elisha Otis，a US inventor，was the man who brought us the lift—or elecator，as he preferred to call it．However，most of the technology is very old．Lifts work using the same pulley system the Egyptians used to create the Pyramids．What Otis did was attach the system to a steam engine and develop the elevator brake，which stops the lift falling if the cords that hold it up are broken．It was this that did the most to gain public confidence in the new invention.In fact，he spent a number of years exhibiting lifts at fairgrounds，giving people the chance to try them before selling the idea to architects and builders．
A lift would not be a very good theme park attraction now．Going in a lift is such an everyday thing that it would juts be boring． Yet psychologists and others who study human behavior. find lifts fascinating．The reason is simple．Scientists have always studied animals in zoos．The nearest they can get to the that with humans is in observing them in lifts．
“It breaks all the usual conventions about the bubble of personal space we carry around with us —and you just can’t choose to move away．”says workplace psychologist， Gray Fitzgibbon．Being trapped in this setting can create different types of tensions，he says．Some people are scared of them．Others use them as an opportunity to get close to the boss． Some stand close to the door．Others hide in the corners． Most people try and shrink into the background．But some behave in a way that makes others notice them．There are a few people who just stand in a corner taking notes．
Don’t worry about them．They are probably from a university．
第 36 题 “…these are cities concerned with the past”in the first paragraph refer to cities that________．
A．are worried about their past．
B．Have a glorious past to be proud of．
