60．C 推理判斷題．根據(jù)文章最后一段及最后一句But that brought her a greater international achievement．可以推測下一段可能會對Eartha Kitt取得國際成功進(jìn)行論述．選C

5．When people first walked across the Bering Land Bridge thousands of years ago，dogs were by their sides，according to a study published in the journal Science．
Robert Wayne of the University of California，Los Angeles，and Jennifer Leonard of the Smithsonian Institute，used DNA material-some of it unearthed by miners in Alaska-to conclude that today's domestic dog originated in Asia and accompanied the first humans to the New World about 10，000to 15，000years ago．Wayne suggests that man's best friend may have enabled the tough journey from Asia into North America．"Dogs may have been the reason people made it across the land bridge，"said Wayne．"They can pull things，carry things，defend you from fierce animals，and they're useful to eat．"
Researchers have agreed that today's dog is the result of the domestication（馴化） of wolves thousands of years ago．Before this recent study，a common thought about the precise origin of North America's domestic dog was that Natives domesticated local wolves，the descendents（后代） of which now live with people in Alaska，Canada，and the Lower 48．
Dog remains  from a Fairbanks-area gold mine helped the scientists reach their conclusion．Leonard，an evolutionary biologist，collected DNA from 11bones of ancient dogs that were locked in permafrost（永凍層） until Fairbanks miners uncovered them in the 1920s．The miners donated the preserved bones to the American Museum of Natural History in New York City，where they remained untouched for more than 70years．After borrowing the bones from the museum，Leonard and her colleagues used radiocarbon techniques to find the age of the Alaska dogs．They found the dogs all lived between the years of 1450and 1675A．D．，before Vitus Bering and Aleksey Chirikov who were the first known Europeans to view Alaska in 1741．The bones of dogs that wandered the Fairbanks area centuries ago should therefore be the remains of"pure native American dogs，"Leonard said．The DNA of the Fairbanks dogs would also expose whether they were the descendents of wolves from North America．
Along with the Fairbanks samples，the researchers collected DNA from bones of 37dog specimens（標(biāo)本） from Mexico，Peru，and Bolivia that existed before the arrival of Columbus．In the case of both the Alaska dogs and the dogs from Latin America，the researchers found that they shared the most genetic material with gray wolves of Europe and Asia．This supports the idea of domestic dogs entering the New World with the first human explorers who wandered east over the land bridge．
Leonard and Wayne's study suggests that dogs joined the first humans that made the adventure across the Bering Land Bridge to slowly populate the Americas．Wayne thinks the dogs that made the trip must have provided some excellent service to their human companions or they would not have been brought along．"Dogs must have been useful because they were expensive to keep，"Wayne said．"They didn't feed on mice； they fed on meat，which was a very guarded resource．"

27．The underlined word"remains"is closed in meaning toB．
A．leftover food     B．dead bodies     
C animal waste．     D．living environment
28．According to the study described in Paragraph 4，we can learn thatA．
A．the bones studied were not from dogs brought into North America by Europeans
B．the 11bones of ancient dogs are not from native American dogs
C．the bones discovered by the gold miners were from North American wolves
D．a(chǎn)ncient dogs entered North America between 1450and 1675AD
29．What can we know from the passage？B
A．Native Americans domesticated local wolves into dogs．
B．Ancient dogs entered North America across the Bering Land Bridge．
C．Latin America's dogs are different from North America's in genes．
D．Scientists discovered some ancient dog remains in 1920s．
30．The first humans into the New World brought dogs along with them becauseD．
A．dogs fed on mice
B．dogs were easy to keep
C．dogs helped protect their resources
D．dogs could provide excellent service
31．The passage mainly talks aboutA．
A．the origin of the North American dogs
B．the DNA study of ancient dogs in America
C．the reasons why early people entered America
D．the difference between Asian and American dogs．
