13、 by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.Archaeologists have long thought that stone ships served as graves for one or several individuals, and have even been viewed as death ships 21 to take the dead to living eternally. However
14、, a new study conducted by researchers from the University of Gothenburg shows a different picture. It suggests Bronze Age stone monuments in the form of ships were built by sailors as a symbol of their practices at sea.The study indicates that the stone ships and the activities that took place ther
15、e point to people who were 22 focused on practices at sea. Details found within the stone structures show they were built to 23 real ships. The stone ships offer up 24 about the ship-building techniques of the time and about the ships that sailed on the Baltic Sea during the Bronze Age.“These consis
16、t of areas that 25 hill forts and are located near easily 26 points in the landscapethat is, near well-known waterways leading inland,” Wehlin, head of the team, said. “While these areas have previously been thought to be much younger, recent age 27 have dated them to the Bronze Age.”Archaeologists
17、have believed that bronze was 28 to Scandinavia from the south, and recent analyses have helped confirm this notion. However, the people who distributed the bronze objects are rarely 29 in these thoughts.“One reason why the meeting places of the Bronze Age are not discussed very often is that we hav
18、ent been able to find them,” Wehlin said. “This is in 30 contrast to the trading places of the Viking Age, which have been easy to locate as they left behind such rich archaeological material.”三、完形填空 Li-Fi, an alternative to Wi-Fi that transmits data using the spectrum of visible light, has achieved
19、 a new breakthrough, with UK scientists reporting transmission speeds of 10Gbit/smore than 250 times faster thansuperfastbroadband. The fastest speed 31 reported was 3Gbit/s, achieved earlier this year in Germany. Chinese researchers also claimed this month to have produced a 150Mbp/s connection, bu
20、t some experts were doubtful without seeing further 32 .The term Li-Fi was 33 by Edinburg Universitys Prof Harald Haas thought the technology is also known as visible light communications（VLC）. Many experts claim that Li-Fi represents the future of mobile internet 34 its reduced costs and greater ef
21、ficiency compared to traditional Wi-Fi. Both Wi-Fi and Li-Fi transmit data over the electromagnetic spectrum, but 35 Wi-Fi utilizes radio waves, Li-Fi uses visible light. This is a 36 advantage in that the visible light is far more plentiful than the radio spectrum（10,000 times more in fact）and can
22、achieve far greater data 37 . Li-Fi signals work by switching bulbs on and off 38 quickly-too quickly to be noticed by the human eye. This most recent breakthrough builds upon this by using tiny micro-LED bulbs to 39 several lines of data in parallel. The research was carried out by the Ultra Parall
23、el Visible Light Communications project, and funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council.Existing LED light bulbs could be 40 to transmit Li-Fi signals with a single microchip, and the technology would also be of use in situations where radio frequencies cannot be used for fear
24、of 41 with electronic circuit. And although Li-Fi bulbs would have to be kept on to transmit data, the bulbs could be 42 to the point that they were not visible to humans and yet still functional. One draw-back is that the data receiver would have to be in sight of the transmitter-bulb as visible li

28、 to campus armed with a debt or credit card to learn how to handle money? Or is it better to keep firm control through the Bank of Mom and Dad? The correct answer will vary by family and personal preference.The Credit Card Act that took effect 2.5 years ago made it much harder for anyone under 21 to
29、 get a card. Gone are the days of card issuers collecting plenty of new customers on campus by handing out free T-shirts or rewards points for spring break.Under-21s can still obtain a credit card if they have a qualified co-signer or proof of sufficient income to repay the debt. And card issuers st
30、ill market aggressively to college students, targeting them with pre-screened mail offers. That makes parents, as the likeliest co-signers, more involved in the card-or-no-card decision.Robyn Kahn Federman ofRochester,N.Y., says theres “no way” shell let either of her two daughters have a credit car

That lets her mom fund the balance and see how she spends her money.“I dont think anything related to debt belongs in the hands of a college kid,” says Federman, communications director of a marketing agency. “The vast majority are not experienced enough with money or aware enough of th
