Every year, countless individuals are impacted by cancer. Our goal is to walk away from
cancer as we give strength to those fighting this life-threatening disease. Walk Cancer Away
invites everyone to participate in our annual family friendly walk event and join together to share
the strong will power found inside each of us with those around us. With each step we take, with
each story shared, and with each donation made we are one step closer to finding a cure. To date,
we have raised over $ 700,000 for Dr. Nancy Kemeny’s Colorectal(结肠直肠的) Research Fund
at Memorial Slogan Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC),together with thousands of people
supporting this cause over the last 12 years we are committed to.
Walk Cancer Away began as a walk in honor of James N. Rentas. Deeply influenced by his
loss due to colorectal cancer, the Rentas family came together 12 years ago to help others who are
suffering the disease. Dr. Nancy Kemeny at Memorial Slogan Kettering Cancer Center, who was
the doctor treating James N, Rentas, mirrors that same goal. Her efforts and that of her team at
MSKCC are focused on researching to overcome the disease and find a cure.
Together, they have made great achievements over the years and have provided years of life
for those who face adversity.
In many cases, their continued efforts have led to full remission(缓解) of the cancer in
patients. With the deepest gratitude we are thankful to all those who support and participate in the
event each year, because without you this would not be possible.
Although Walk Cancer Away started just 12 years ago, we are forever honored to be able to
join in this event that so many of us find so close to our hearts. We ask you, your family, and your
friends to join in this year’s Walk Cancer Away Event.

Until recently, several lines of evidence—from fossils, genetics, and archaeology—suggested
that humans first moved from Africa into Eurasia (the land of Europe and Asia) about 60,000
years ago, quickly replacing other early human species, such as Neanderthals and Denisovans, that
they may have met along the way.
However, a series of recent discoveries, including 100,000-year-old human teeth found in a
cave in China, have clouded this straightforward statement. And the latest find, a prehistoric
jawbone at the Misliya Cave in Israel dating back to nearly 200,000 years ago, which is almost
twice as old as any Homo sapiens(智人) remains discovered outside Africa, where our species
was thought to have originated from, has added a new and unexpected twist.
The find suggests that there were multiple waves of migration across Europe and Asia and
could also mean that modern humans in the Middle East were interacting, and possibly mating,
with other human species for tens of thousands of years. “Misliya breaks the mould (模式) of
existing assumptions of the timing of the first known Homo sapiens in these regions,” said Chris
Stringer, head of human origins at the Natural History Museum in London. “It’s important in
removing a long-lasting constraint(限制) on our thinking.”
Prof. Hershkovitz, who led the work at Tel Aviv University said, “What Misliya tells us is
that modern humans left Africa not 100,000 years ago, but 200,000 years ago. This is a revolution
in the way we understand the evolution of our own species.” He also added that the record now
indicates that humans probably travelled beyond the African continent whenever the climate
allowed it. “I don’t believe there was one big departure from Africa,” he said. “I think that
throughout hundreds of thousands of years humans were coming in and out of Africa all the time.”
The discovery means that modern humans were potentially meeting and interacting during a
longer period with other ancient human groups, providing more opportunity for cultural and
biological exchanges. It also raises interesting questions about the fate of the earliest modern
human pioneers. Genetic data from modern-day populations around the world strongly suggest
that everyone outside Africa can trace their ancestors back to a group that left around 60,000 years
ago. So the inhabitants of the Misliya Cave are probably not the ancestors of anyone alive today,
and scientists can only guess why their branch of the family tree came to an end.
8．What does the Misliya discovery suggest?
A．Our ancestors were powerful and kind of agreesive.
B．Our ancestors left Africa much earlier than thought.
C．The origins of modern humans are from Europe.
D．Homo sapiens, Neanderthals and Denisovans once lived together.
9．What does the underlined word “they” refer to in Para. One?
A．Early human species living in Europe
B．Neanderthals and Denisovans.
C．People first moving from Africa into Eurasia.
D．Ancient people living in Africa all the time.
3
10．What can be learned from Prof. Hershkovitz’s words in Para. 4?
A．Climate was a big factor in human migration from Africa.
B．There was a large-scale human migration from Africa.
C．Human migration was occasional in Africa 200,000 years ago.
D．The Misliya find is against our understanding of human evolution.
11．What can we infer about those living in Misliya 200,000 years ago according to the last
paragraph?
A．They were ancestors of people living in China.
B．They left evidence for their mysterious disappearance in history.
C．They probably contributed little to present-day people genetically.
D．They could be traced by their remains left on their travelling route.

The Trump administration has cancelled a policy that would have banned foreign students
from staying in the US if they take online-only classes for the fall semester.
The decision came after Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) announced the policy
on July 6, under which international students would not be allowed to stay in or come to the
country if their schools operate online due to the pandemic.
The policy caused a string of lawsuits (诉讼) brought by universities and a group of 17 states.
Harvard University, with overseas students making up more than 20 percent of the student body,
and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology ( MIT), whose foreign undergraduates make up
nearly 30 percent of enrollment, were the first to file suit.
The institutions claim the regulation is “arbitrary and capricious(任性的)”—arguing that the
agency is not considering the health of students, faculty and staff members—and has not taken
into account the “reality” of the pandemic continuing.
“President Trump’s arbitrary actions put the health and safety of our students and
communities across the country at risk,” said Xavier Becerra, California attorney general( 检察
长), in a Twitter post following the announcement of the rescission(废除). California is among the
17 states that filed suit against the policy.
On July 2, the American Council on Education (ACE) and 38 other groups wrote to the US
State Department and the Department of Homeland Security, seeking flexibility into the next
academic year.
But four days later, ICE reversed the relaxed regulation, requiring foreign students to transfer
to institutions that offer some in-person instruction—or leave the US.
“International students are an extraordinary benefit not just to American higher education but
to our entire nation, resulting in a wealth of new ideas, cultural connections, cutting-edge
technology, and life-saving medical advances, including in the fight against COVID-19,” said
Mitchell, ACE president.
He also noted that the economic benefit that comes with the roughly 1 million international
students in the US is also immense, bringing about $ 41 billion and resulting in more than 450,000
US jobs.
12．Which issued a policy that forbade some foreign students to stay in the USA?
A．ACE. B．Facebook. C．ICE. D．MIT.
13．How did California attorney general like the former policy of the Trump administration?
A．Positive. B．Tolerant. C．Carefree. D．Negative.
4
14．What does the underlined word “immense” in the last paragraph mean?
A．Extremely great. B．Not ordinary or usual.
C．Uncertain and feeling doubt. D．Having features that are the same.
15．What can be a suitable title for the text?
A．Trump’s regulation is arbitrary and capricious
B．Trump administration drops foreign student visa rule
C．ACE tries to seek flexibility into next academic year
D．Foreign students in US have to take online-only classes
