We have a small number of paid staff，just twenty- content is free to use by anyone for any annual expenses are less than six million dollars. Wikipedia is run by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation，which I founded in 2003.Wikipedia is driven by a global community of more than 150,000 volunteers—all devoted to sharing knowledge freely. Over almost eight years，these volunteers have contributed more than 11 million articles in 265 languages. More than 275 million people come to our website every month to access information，free of charge and free of advertising.But Wikipedia is more than a website. We share a common cause：Imagine a world in which every single person on the planet is given free access to the sum of all human knowledge. Tha t’s our commitment.Your donation helps us in several ways. Most importantly，you will help us cover the increasing cost of managing global traffic to one of the most popular websites on the Internet. Funds also help us improve the software that runs Wikipedia—making it easier to search，easier to read，and easier to write for. We are committed to increasing the free knowledge movement worldwide，by taking on new volunteer s，and building strategic partnerships with institutions of culture and learning.Wikipedia is different. It’s the largest encyclopedia (百科全书) in history，written by volunteers. Like a national park or a school，we don’t believe advertising should have a place in Wikipedia.

Buried with him were the tools of a hunter or warrior. There was a bone pin that may have been from a piece of clothing such as a leather coat. He carried a copper knife on his breast. The most amazing find was two gold earrings. That would have made him a man of distinction. Only a few centimeters from his head were two pots made of clay, tools and materials to make arrows, a bow and a dozen arrows for hunting and a second, smaller copper knife. Next to them lay a cushion stone, upon which the man could work metal.His grave is the richest of any found from that period, because this man was buried with two gold earrings which are the oldest gold ever found in Britain (dated to 2470 BC). Besides, he was buried three miles from Stonehenge. Archaeologists tend to believe he was a member of a powerful class who might have organized the construction of Stonehenge.Stonehenge was begun around 3000 BC. In about 2300 BC the huge stone circles were built. The biggest stone weighed approximately 20 tons. But the smaller blue stones, still weighing 4 tons on average, came from west Wales. It is not yet known how these were conveyed over a distance of 380 km. It is also a mystery how early man was able to construct Stonehenge without the use of modern construction machines and lorries.He is an example of people who brought culture and new techniques from the European mainland to Britain. In terms of technical development people were going from the Stone Age to the Bronze Age and then to the Iron Age.51. Which are not included in the things that are found in the grave of a man'A. Tools, a bone pin, a bow and a cushion stoneB. A copper knife and two gold earrings.C. Two pots, arrows and materials to make arrows.D. some chicken and grains.52. The man buried in the grave might be ______ at that time.A. A poor manB. a kind-hearted manC. a rich manD. an ordinary man53. Why is the man buried in the grave called the "king of Stonehenge"A. He was buried three miles from Stonehenge.B. He had the oldest gold ever found in Britain.C. He might be a member of a powerful class who might haveorganized the construction of Stonehenge.D. All of the above.54. What does the third paragraph mainly talk aboutA. How Stonehenge was built.B. Building Stonehenge was hard.C. Stonehenge was made of big stones.D. It is a mystery how Stonehenge was built.55. We can infer that _______ .A. how Stonehenge was builtB. the King of Stonehenge was from FranceC. Stonehenge was built through several agesD. Stonehenge was built because of warCTHREATS TOOUR NATIONAL TREASURESJ: journalist X: Prof XuJ: People have always had interests in the past. Professor Xu, what are the most important dangers to our archaeological treasuresX: They get damaged or lost. It's a matter of education. People fail to take the right steps when something is found. Fortunately, the government has helped spreading the basic knowledge among the population, telling what is to be done when an archaeological find is made.J: What does that knowledge consist ofX: Well, when something is found, construction work must be stopped and the police should be told about the find. That is to make sure that no further damage will be done.J: Does it still happen that people do not report things they findX: Yes, indeed. They doubt whether it is necessary to do so. It sometimes happens that a find is not very valuable. They are afraid that they would make scientists come for nothing.J: Are there other reasons why people don't report their findsX: Oh, yes. People are afraid that archaeologists may take a real interest in the site and spend many weeks or months digging aroundat it. That would result in farmers missing the right opportunityto plant crops or construction work to be stopped for a long time. They don't realize that they should not weigh their own business interests against our national history.J: If it is so important to dig things up and collect them, then why are archaeologists worried that other people dig up artifacts and give them to museums or add them to their own privatearchaeological collectionsX: Archaeology is a professional discipline. Years of training and experience are needed. It is not just about finding things and digging them up. The field work must be done very carefully. Of every find there needs to be a written record, to which a photograph must be added. The records must also state exactly what was found, where it was found and when. The outdoor work isfollowed by work in the lab, cleaning, restoring and identifying each artifact. Finally, when all is done, an analysis must bewritten and published in a magazine or a book.J: Are there any other dangers, natural disasters perhapsX: Unfortunately there are treasure hunters: people search for valuable objects, especially jewellery and gold. They are the worst. History does not need to fear nature very much. What has beenburied has often been buried well. It is often human digging that causes the loss of valuable materials. It may seem a contradiction, but leaving things as they are would often be the best way of keeping things for the generations to come.56. The interview is probably a conversation betweenA. Mr Xu and his wifeB. a student and a teacherC. a teacher and a newspaper reporterD. a professor and a farmer57. According to Professor Xu, there are ______ why people do notreport finds.A. no reasonsB. certain threatsC. few dangersD. several reasons58. The reason why some people do not inform the police about archaeological finds is that ______ .A. they are afraid of the policeB. the government has failed to inform the publicC. they think working archaeologists will cause troubleD. they don't have the years of training and experience that are needed59. For most artifacts ______ can quite easily see whether they are valuable or not.A. farmersB. the policeC. construction workersD. local experts60. In the opinion of Professor Xu, the greatest danger to our archaeological treasures are ______ .A. natural disastersB. farmers and construction workersC. scientistsD. treasure hunters第二卷第一节单词拼写(每小题1分，满分10分)1.
