But finding the city wasn’t that easy. During the summer of 1991, he and his 40 helpers dug at 35 different spots. The only things they found were ground spiders, giant ticks, and deadly snakes.Just before Thanksgiving said Clapp,“We were within a whisker of total failure.”Then Clapp’s team looked at the high-tech maps again and saw something surprising. Many of the caravan routes(沙漠商队路线)on the high-tech maps came together on the same spot marked “Omani Marketplace” on Ptolomy’s map. Two maps, made almost 2,000 years apart, pointed the team toward the same area!In December 1991, Clapp arrived at the spot where, according to the maps, the caravans met. Clapp had a handheld instrument that could detect objects below theground. It showed ruins under the sand! He and his team started digging, trying not to get their hopes up. And then they found it! A tower buried in the sand. They slowly unearthed a giant, eight-sided fortress(堡垒). It had nine towers and many rooms. People had lived in this fortress 2,000 years ago. Outside its walls, the crew had found buried remains of nearly 40 campsites. They seemed to be camping areas for traders.More digging found shards, or pieces of pottery from the ancient empires of Rome, Greece, China, Egypt, and Syria. Diggers and scientists agreed that people were on the site for about 5,000 years. Clapp and his team were excited as they continued to uncover more pieces of the past that seemed to prove that it was the lost city of Ubar.“We started with this hopeless myth and then found seeds of truth,” said Clapp, “then finally found the reality behind the myth.” But is this unearthed site really the once-great Ubar? Experts aren’t totally persuaded.Donald Whitcomb is an archeologist(考古学家)at the University of Chicago. He doubts that Clapp really discovered Ubar. “There’s probably a grain of truth to this myth,” he says. “But Ubar is described as a place with walls all made of gold, and the rubies and emeralds.” No gold or precious stones have been found by Clapp.“I’m not sure whether they discovered Ubar because I’m not sure if Ubar really existed,” Whitcomb says.1. Which of the following statements is true according to the reading?A. Ubar was an important ancient city which was buried under the sand.B. Ubar was described as a city with towers.C. Clapp found the spot marked “Omani Marketplace” on the high-tech maps.D. Inside the fortress they found shards, ground spiders, giant ticks and deadly snakes.2. The following statements are true according to the reading EXCEPT that __________.A. Clapp made this discovery with the help of caravan routes on the mapsB. Clapp made this discovery with the help of some high technologyC. Clapp was not sure that he had found UbarD. Donald Whitcomb was not sure if Clapp had found Ubar3. Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined part?A. We were ready for any failure.B. We were on the point of giving up hope.C. We would never stop digging in spite of some difficulty.D. We decided that we had failed to find Ubar.4. It can be inferred from the reading that Nicholas Clapp is __________.A. a person of courageB. a person of determination(决心)C. a very young personD. a person who is good for nothing(B)Every year thousands of tourists visit Pompeii, Italy. They see the sights that Pompeii is famous for like its stadium and theatres, its shops and restaurants. The tourists do not, however, see Pompeii’s people. They do not see them because Pompeii has no people. No one has lived in Pompeii for almost 2,000 years. Once, Pompeii was a busy city of 22,000 people. It lay at the foot of Mount Vesuvius, a grass-coveredvolcano(火山). Mount Vesuvius had not erupted(喷发)for centuries, so the people of Pompeii felt safe.But in August of AD 79, Mount Vesuvius erupted. The entire top of the mountain exploded, and a huge black cloud rose into the air. Soon stones and hot ash began to fall on Pompeii. When the eruption ended two days later, Pompeii was buried under 20 feet of stones and ashes. Almost all of its people were dead.For centuries, Pompeii lay buried under stone and ash. Then, in the year 1861, an Italian scientist named Ginseppe began to uncover Pompeii. Slowly and carefully, Ginseppe and his men dug. The city looked almost the same as it had looked in AD 79. There were streets and fountains, houses and shops. There was a stadium with 20,000 seats. Perhaps the most important of all, there were everyday objects, which tell us a great deal about the people who lived in Pompeii. Many glasses and jars had some dark blue colour in the bottom, so we know that the people of Pompeii liked wine. They liked bread too; metal bread pans were in every bakery. In one bakery there were 81 round, flat loaves of bread—a type of bread that is still sold in Italy today. Tiny boxes filled with a dark, shiny powder tell us that women liked to wear eye-makeup.Ginseppe has died, but his work continues. One-fourth has not been uncovered yet. Scientists are still digging, still making discoveries that draw the tourists to Pompeii. 5. A number of people come to Pompeii each year for the following reasons except _______.A. to visit the volcanoB. to shop and eat thereC. to watch sports and playsD. to see how Pompeiians lived6. Why had so many people remained by volcanic Mount Vesuvius?A. The city nearly offered all kinds of fun.B. The area produced the finest wine in Italy.C. Few people expected the volcano to erupt again.D. The mountain was beautiful and covered with grass.7. Why did the city uncovered look almost the same as it had looked in AD 79?A. Because Ginseppe and his men dug it slowly and carefully.B. Because the city was buried alive and remained untouched.C. Because scientists successfully rebuilt the city with everyday objects.D. Because nobody had lived in the city ever since the volcano erupted.8. What do we know about the Pompeiians who lived 2,000 years ago?A. They lived more or less the same as Italians now do.B. They liked women wearing all kinds of makeup.C. They enjoyed a lazy life with drinking and eating.D. They went back to Pompeii after the eruption in AD 79.一单选CADDBAC下列每个句子都有一处错误,请找出来并改正1. are→is解析:先行词one前有the only修饰,定语从句中的谓语动词应用单数形式。

I thought this tower was a place to buy pizza. It must be the best place to buy pizza in the world, I thought.Many years later I finally saw the Leaning Tower.I knew then that it was pisa and not pizza. But there was still something special about it for me. The tower got its name because it really does lean to one side. Some people want to try to fix it. They are afraid thatit may fall over and they don’t like it leans over the city.I do not think it’s a good idea to try to fix it. The tower probably will not fall down; it is 600 years old. Why should anything happen to it now? And, if you ask me, I like what it looks like. To me it is a very human kind of leaning. Nothing is perfect, as it seems to say.And who cares? Why do people want things to be perfect? Imperfect things may be more interesting. Let’s take the tower in Pisa. Why is it so famous? There are many other older, more beautiful towers in Italy. But Pisa tower is the most famous. People come from all over the world to see it.1. This passage is about .A. Italian pizzaB.I taly’s problemsC. how the Leaning Tower of Pisa got its nameD. why the writer likes Pisa2.The writer used to think Pisa .A. in SpainB. not very famousC. not the same as pizzaD. the same as pizza3. The Leaning Tower of Pisa is .A. modernB. falling downC.600 years oldD.60 years old4. The writer .A. doesn’t like what the tower looks likeB. likes what the tower looks likeC. thinks it’s the most beautiful tower in ItalyD. doesn’t like towersBMy seven-year-old son had been given a set of paints(一套颜料)to make stained glass(彩色玻璃)—pieces of colored glass put together to decorate windows. With great excitement and interest, he went to work, hoping that his piece could be hung (挂)on a glass window. The stained glass had four different pieces that had to be put together, and two of them got ruined while he was making them. The other two were lovely pieces of the child’s art, and he was very excited to see them hanging on our window.The pieces remained there for some months. One day my son’s piano teacher came to our house, which was unusual, to give him a lesson. Without much care or thought, the teacher said to my son that he admired the stained glass. As soon as his lesson was done, my son ran out of the room, took one of the pieces down, and gave it proudly to his teacher.A few months later, we had a friend visiting us, and she expressed admiration for the remaining stained glass piece. Well, guess what happened?

It was made of iron and glass and a lot of people from many countries came to seeit. Plenty of goods were sent to the exhibition from all parts of the world. There was also a great deal of machinery on show. Though in those days, traveling was not as easy as it is today, steamboats carried thousands of visitors across the Channel from Europe. On arriving in England, they were taken to the Crystal Palace by train. There were six million visitors in all,and the money from the exhibition was used to build museums and colleges.

But Picasso, the great Spanish painter, was like a man who had not yet found his own particular style of painting. He kept on struggling to find the perfect expression till his death in 1973.Some of Picasso’s paintings are rich, soft colored and beautiful. Others are ugly and cruel and strange. But such paintings allow us to imagine things for ourselves. They force us to say to ourselves,“What does he see that makes him paint like that?”And we begin to look beneath the surface of the things we see.Picasso painted thousands of pictures in different styles. Sometimes he painted the natural look of things. Sometimes he seemed to break them apart and throw them pieces in our faces. He showed us what the mind knows as well as what the eye sees. At the age of 90 he remained as curious about the world as he had been when he was young. That is why people have called him “the youngest painter in the world”.12.

Unitl单元测试题第二部分:阅读理解(共两节,满分40分)第一节(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。
Insects (昆虫)are a very healthy food. They have almost as much protein (蛋口质)as meat from a pig or cow and are low in fat. Eating insects is also very good for the environment since they need less land and water than larger animals.Marcel Dicke, who studies insects, explained in a talk how insects also produce more meat from the food they eat. For example, imagine a farmer feeds a cow 10 pounds of food・ Those 10 pounds of food produce about 1 pound of meat for people to eat. However, imagine the farmer gives a certain number of insects 10 pounds of food. Those 10 pounds of food produce 9 pounds of meat for people to eat!Eating more insects can also help people in poor areas. Many people can raise and sell insects, which can provide jobs and food.But insects will not replace (替彳弋)animal meat very quickly. First, people in some countries would have to change how they think about eating insects. Many people in North America and Europe eat a lot of meat like beef and pork・ But they do not traditionally cat insects. In fact, for many people in the west, eating insects sounds crazy! They believe insects are dirty and dangerous. Insects make them feel uncomfortable ・Some people are trying to deal with this problem. For example, David George Gordon wrote a book named "The Eat-A-Bug Cookbook”,which tries to show people that insects can be delicious. Other insect experts travel around telling people about the benefits (好处)of eating insects. But they still have a lot of work to do.21.Eating insects _____ .A.is not healthyB.makes people put on fatC・ helps protect large animalsD. is environmentally friendly22.The example of Marcel Dicke is given to show ____ .A.the high cost of food productionB.it's quite easy for farmers to raise insectsC・ raising insects is a good choice for formersD. the different ways of feeding cows and insects23.The long way eating insects has to go mainly results from _____ .C・ family traditions D. eating methods24.We can infer from David and other insect experts that ____A.people can make a lot of money from insectsB.insects should be better protectedC.people should eat more insectsD.it,s dangerous to eat insectsBKhan Academy is a website providing a free education for any person• The website includes more than 4,000 short teaching videos about many different subjects. Every month, over 7 million people go to the Khan Academy website to watch its videos.Khan Academy began with one man named Salman Khan. As a young man, Khan got a degree from Harvard Business School and began to work in business.In 2006, Khan used the Internet to help his young cousins, who lived far away, with their mathematics schoolwork. He drew numbers and pictures on the website to teach them. After a time, he put his videos onto the website YouTube, where his cousins could watch them any time they wanted. But KJian noticed that other people were also watching his videos on YouTube.By 2009, the number of people watching his videos on YouTube was getting very large・ Khan decided to make the videos his job instead・ So he officially began Khan Academy, providing videos on mathematics and other school subjects.People did not have to pay to watch the videos. But they could give Khan money if they wanted to support (支持)his work. Some people did give Khan small amounts of money, but he was still having a hard time. Later, a woman told Khan that Bill Gates uses Khan Academy for his kids. After that, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation began giving money to Khan Academy・ In 2010 Google gave the website money too, wanting Khan to translate his videos into the worlds most common languages. Today, people can see Khan's videos in many different languages.Some people think that Khan Academy will be the way more and more people learn in the future. Teachers can use it in their classrooms. Khan believes that Khan Academy will never, and should never, replace a school. But he believes teachers and students can use it to make schools better.25.What can one get from Klian Academy?A.Video-making methods.B.Free learning information.C.Any help with the schoolwork.D.A good number of beautiful pictures.26.Salman KJian started Khan Academy ____ •A.in 2006B・ as a studentC.to satisfy the needs of learnersD.under the influence of his cousins27.What docs Salman Khan think of Khan Academy?A.It will play an active role in school teaching.B.It can replace teachers in classrooms.C.It can replace a teaching school.D.It's the future of education.The Tower of London, not a single tower but a large group, was built to guard London.Besides William and Henry VIII, the tower's history has other famous names in British history. In 1389 a clerk of works (现场监工员)named Geoffrey Chaucer 一author of The Canterbury Tales一oversaw (监督)the building of the Tower Wharf. In 1671Colonel Blood tried to steal the crown jewels (皇冠上镶的宝石)after overpowering the elderly Jewel House keeper・(Blood was caught but later pardoned.) Today the jewels remain in the tower as they have since BloocTs day.For six centuries this place was also home to a group of animals from elephants to big cats• It stopped being used as an animals9 home in 1835 and its animals were moved to the London Zoo.Today visitors can walk the walls, visit guard towers and see the crown jewels- Guards at the tower, popularly known as beefeaters, not only guard the tower but also give interesting tours that arc among the most popular parts of any visit.How to Get ThereTrains and the Dockland Light Railway stop near the tower. Buses 15, 42, 78 and 100 reach the tower, and riverboats stop at Tower Pier. Taxis, bicycles, and foot power are also good ways to reach the tower. Driving is a less attractive choice because of the expensive parking.When to GoThe tower is open all year round, except during the Christmas holidays (December 24 to 26) and January 1. School holidays and summertime are the busiest times.How to VisitAs expected at a place that has seen so much history, there is enough of interest at the Tower of London to keep visitors busy for days. Stop at the Welcome Center for visitor information on everything from the crown jewels to family fun activities.2& The underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 shows ____ .A.the tower was built by famous peopleB.some famous people caused trouble thereC.there were many famous people in British historyD.there were many interesting stories connected to the tower29・ Beefeaters at the tower ___ .A.have two rolesB. like to eat beefC.seem very serious D・ often joke with visitors30.According to the text, the Tower of London is ____ •A.easy to reachB. full of parked carsC. busy all year roundD. a perfect place for a one-day tourDQuite a few years ago, as I celebrated my 25th birthday with a party, I was surprised to receive an unusual present. The gift-giver smiled widely and said loudly, “It's a nice, strong plant, so even you carf t kill it."I was well known in my circle of friends as an "anti-gardener^ — how was I going to care for this piece of greenery?For four years the plant received little care. I felt guilty (内疚的)just looking at it!As a non-gardener, my offers to look after friends' houses were met with laughter: "We appreciate (感激)the offer but, really, we don't want to come home to a dead garden!" It didn't occur to (想至0) them that I just had no interest in having a garden. It was a choice, not a failing.Some time later my husband accepted a job in Belgium. Because I couldn't throwaway a gift, I decided to ask my neighbor to care for my plant.Our lovely house in Belgium had a beautiful garden. Slowly gardening became a part of my daily life, teaching me to slow down and to be happy in the silence of the garden. It was with regret that I left that garden to return to Sydney some months laterBack home life soon went back to normal. Then one day, it occurred to me that I could start my own little garden. So, I went to collect my unwanted plant from my neighbor・ I took the plant home, watered it and watched as its leaves turned from a lifeless yellow to a rich green within weeks・ Many years on, I still don't know the name of my first plant, but I do know that as it grows, so do I. It symbolises a change in me when I stopped listening to the voices around me and started to believe in myself.31.When the author received a plant as a birthday gift, she felt _____ .A.funnyB. guiltyC. excitedD. displeased32.What did the author's friends think of her?A.

第Ⅰ卷Ⅰ.阅读理解(共两节,满分35分)第一节(共10小题;每小题2.5分,满分25分)AThere was a gardener who looked after his garden with great care.To water his flowers,he used two buckets.One was a shiny and new bucket.The other was a very old and dilapidated one,which had seen many years of service,but was now past its best.Every morning,the gardener would fill up the two buckets.Then he would carry them along the path,one on each side,to the flower beds.The new bucket was very proud of itself.It could carry a full bucket of water without a single drop spilled (溢出).The old bucket felt very ashamed because of its holes:before it reached the flower beds,much water had leaked along the path.Sometimes the new bucket would say,“See how capable I am!How good it is that the gardener has me to water the flowers every day!I don't know why he still bothers you.What a waste of space you are!”And all that the old bucket could say was,“I know I'm not very useful,but I can only do my best.I'm happy that the gardener still finds a little bit of use in me,at least.”One day,the gardener heard that kind of conversation.After watering the flowers as usual,he said,“You both have done your work very well.Now I am going to carry you back.I want you to look carefully along the path.”Then the two buckets did so.All along the path,they noticed,on the side where the new bucket was carried,there was just bare(光秃秃的) earth;on the other side where the old bucket was carried,there was a joyous row of wild flowers,leading all the way to the garden.1.What does the underlined word “dilapidated” probably mean?A.Dirty. B.Dark. C.Worn out. D.Plain-looking.2.The new bucket made conversations with the old one mainly to________.A.laugh at the old oneB.take pity on the old oneC.show off its beautiful looksD.praise the gardener's kindness3.Why was the old bucket still kept by the gardener?A.Because it was used to keep balance.B.Because it stayed in its best condition.C.Because it was taken as a treasure.D.Because it had its own function.BAlmost every machine with moving parts has wheels, yet no one knows exactly when the first wheel was invented or what it was used for. We do know, however, that they existed over 5,500 years ago in ancient Asia.The oldest known transport wheel was discovered in 2002 in Slovenia. It is over 5,100 years old. Evidence suggests that wheels for transport didn't become popular for a while, though. It was probably due to that animals did a perfectly good job of carrying farming tools and humans around.But it could be also due to a difficult situation. While wheels need to roll on smooth surfaces, roads with smooth surfaces weren't going to be constructed until there was plenty of demand for them. Eventually, road surfaces did become smoother, but this difficult situation appeared again a few centuries later. There had been no important changes in wheel and vehicle design before the arrival of modern road design.In the mid-1700s, a Frenchman came up with a new design of road—a base layer(层) of large stones covered with a thin layer of smaller stones. A Scotsman improved on this design in the 1820s and a strong, lasting road surface became a reality. At around the same time, metal hubs(the central part of the wheel)came into being, followed by the wheels that were invented in 1967, sixty years after the appearance of tarmacked roads(柏油碎石路面). As wheel design took off, vehicles got faster and faster.4.What might explain why transport wheels didn't become popular for some time?A.Few knew how to use transport wheels.B.Humans carried farming tools just as well.C.Animals were a good means of transport.D.The existence of transport wheels was not known.5.What do we know about road design from the passage?A.It was easier than wheel design.B.It improved after big changes in vehicle design.C.It was promoted by fast-moving vehicles.D.It provided conditions for wheel design to develop.6.What is the passage mainly about?A.The beginning of road design.B.The development of transport wheels.C.The history of public transport.D.The invention of fast-moving vehicles.CTravelling without a map in different countries, I find out about different “styles” of directions every time I ask “How can I get to the post office?”Foreign tourists are often confused in Japan because most streets there don't have name signs. In Japan, people use landmarks(地标) in their directions instead of street names. For example, the Japanese will say to travellers, “Go straight down to the corner. Turn left at the big hotel and go past a fruit market. The post office is across from the bus stop.”People in Los Angeles, the US, have no idea of distance on the map: they measure distance by time, not miles. “How far away is the post office?” you ask. “Oh,” they answer, “it's about five minutes from here.” You don't understand completely, “Yes, but how many miles away is it, please?” To this question you won't get an answer, because most probably they don't know it themselves.People in Greece sometimes do not even try to give directions because tourists seldom understand the Greek language. Instead, a Greek will often say, “Follow me.” Then he'll lead you through the streets of the city to the post office.Sometimes a person doesn't know the answer to your question. What happens in the situation? A New Yorker might say, “Sorry, I have no idea.” But in Mexico, no one answers “I don't know.” People there believe that “I don't”is impolite. They usually give an answer, but often a wrong one. So a tourist can get lost very easily in Yucatan!However, one thing will help you everywhere in the world. It's body language.7.Which of the following is probably an example of Japanese directions?A.“Go south two miles. Turn west and then go another mile.”B.“Turn right at the hospital. The library is right in front of you.”C.“The post office is about five minutes from here.”D.“Follow me, and I will lead you there.”8.What can we know about people in Los Angeles according to the passage?A.They have no sense of direction.B.They are good at reading maps.C.They often give directions by time.D.They'll show you a direction even if they don't know.9.What is Greeks' way to give directions ?A.Using street names.

I didn’t think there would be any difficulty in getting it mended, as there are a whole lot of antique (古董)shops near my home. So I left home one morning carrying the chair with me.I went into the first shop expecting a friendly reception. I was quite wrong. The man wouldn’t even look at my chair.The second shop, though slightly more polite, was just the same, and the third and the fourth—so I decided that my approach must be wrong.I entered the fifth shop with a plan in my mind. I placed the chair on the floor and said to the shopkeeper, “Would you like to buy a chair?” “Twenty pounds,” I said. “OK,” he said. “I’ll give you twenty pounds.” “It’s got a slightly broken leg,” I said. “Yes, I saw that. It’s nothing.”Everything was going according to the plan and I was getting excited. “Wh at will you do with it?” I asked. “Oh, it will be easy to sell once the repair is done.” “I’ll buy it,” I said. “What do you mean? You’ve just sold it to me,” he said. “Yes, I know but I’ve changed my mind. I am sorry. I’ll give you twenty-seven pounds for it.” “You must be crazy,” he said. Then, suddenly the penny dropped. “I know what you want. You want me to repair your chair.” “You’re right,” I said. “And what would you have done if I had walked in and said, ‘Would you mend this chair for me?’” “I wouldn’t have agreed to do it,” he said. “We don’t do repairs, not enough money in it and too much trouble. But I’ll mend this for you. Shall we say for a fiver?” He was a very nice man and was greatly amused by the whole thing.36. We can learn from the text that in the first shop the writer .A. was rather impoliteB. was warmly receivedC. asked the shopkeeper to buy his chairD. asked the shopkeeper to repair his chair37. The expression “the penny dropped” in the last paragraph means the sh opkeeperA. changed his mindB. accepted the offerC. saw the writer’s purposeD. decided to help the writer38. How much did the writer pay?A. £5.B. £7.C. £20.D. £27.39. From the text, we can learn that the writer was .A. honestB. carefulC. smartD. funnBHave you ever set a goal for yourself, like getting fit or being picked for a team? Like lots of people, maybe you started out doing great, but then lost some of that drive and had trouble getting motivated (激励) again. Everyone struggles with staying motivated and reaching their goals. Just look at how many people go on diets, lose weight, and then gain it back again!Check in with your goal.It helps if you write down your small goals in the same way you wrote down your big goal. That way you can follow what you need to do, check off tasks as you finish them, and enjoy knowing that you’re moving toward your big goal. If you’re feeling weak on willpower, you can look at your list to help you change!Go on with your goal if you slip up (出差错).If you slip up, don’t give up. Forgive yourself and make a plan for getting back on road. Pat yourself on the back for everything you did right. Don’t beat yourself up, no matter how far off track you get. Most people slip up when trying to make a change —it’s a natural part of the process.Share with a friend.Another way is having supportive people around you. Having a goal partner can make all the difference in times when you don’t feel motivated. If you’re not getting support from someone when you really need it, you may need to take a break from that friendship and make friends with people who want to help you succeed.Don’t give up!Ending an unhealthy behavior or creating a new, exciting one is all about taking responsibility (责任) for our lives. Finding the motivation to do it isn’t easy, but it is always possible. You can stay motivated by writing down your goals, sticking to your plan, and reminding yourself of what led you to set your goal in the first place. Change is exciting —we’d all be very bored without it.Good luck in reaching your goals!40. The underlined word “drive” in the first paragraph refers to ______.A. the wish to achieve a goalB. the need to have great energyC. the pressure to drive fastD. the strong energy to drive41. If a person slips up, the author thinks of it as ______.A. strangeB. naturalC. necessaryD. wrong42. What is the advice for staying motivated?A. To set a big goal in the first place.B. To share a goal with your friend.C. To divide your goal into small ones.D. To make a plan for changing your goal.43. The passage is mainly about how to ______.A. help your friend succeed at lastB. set a big goal and reach itC. deal with a friend who offers no supportD. keep motivated to achieve your goalCFew buildings on earth can compete with the legendary beauty of the Taj Mahal. Towering over the ancient Indian city of Agra, the Taj Mahal is the grandest monument (纪念碑) to love ever created.The lovers in this story are the 17th century Indian emperor Shah Jehan and his wife Mumtaz Mahal. She took a leading role in advising him, which is something unusual for a woman to do for a husband who’s an emperor. Over the course of their nineteen-year marriage she gave birth to 14 children. But in 1631 while trying to deliver their fifteenth — she tragically died. He was heartbroken when she died. And after her death, he decided to build the world’s greatest monument ever built, for love.He ordered the royal architects to design the most beautiful building the world had known and decided to name it after his beloved, Mumtaz Mahal. He called on twenty thousand workers and sent many more people to all corners of his country in search of valuable metals and jewels. And after seventeen years of hard work, ShahJehan’s monument was completed and his beloved empress was moved to her final resting place.Everything had gone according to plan, but Shah Jehan’s luck was about to change ... In 1658, just four years after the completion of the Taj Mahal, he was thrown out of power. Unfortunately, his son, Aran Azibe imprisoned him, his own father. And he spent the last seven years of his life in prison. And he was allowed to look at the Taj Mahal through a window. His life was in ruins, but when he died his last wish was promised. He was buried beside his beloved wife in the Taj Mahal.44. The Taj Mahal was built for ______.A. MumtazB. ShahC. Mumtaz or ShahD. Mumtaz and Shah45.

It was built around the year 1450, but abandoned (遗弃) a hundred years later, at the time of the Spanish conquest of the Inca Empire. Forgotten for centuries, the site was brought to worldwide attention in 1911 by Hiram Bingham, an American historian. Since then, Machu Picchu has become an important tourist attraction. It was announced a UNESCOWorld Heritage Site in 1983. It is also one of the New Seven Wonders of the World. But it has recently come to light that the site may have been discovered and robbed secretly as early as in 1867 by a Ger-man businessman, Augusto Berns.7,000 feet above sea level and located on a small hilltop between the Andean Mountain Range, the majestic city rises above the Urabamba Valley below. Separated into three areas —farming, urban, and religious (宗教的) —the structures are arranged so that the function (功能) of the buildings matches the form of their surroundings. The agri-cultural terracing and ditches (梯田和沟渠) take advantage of the natural slopes (斜坡); the lower areas contain buildings occupied by farmers and teachers, and the most important religious areas are located at the crest of the hill, over-looking the fresh green Urabamba Valley thousands of feet below.Hikers, tourists, and the early explorers describe similar emotions as they climb their way through the Inca Trail. Many call the experience magical and say the area creates a wonderful green paradise, making it a must for anyone who travels to Peru.48. Augusto Berns was said to ______.A. report his find to the government at the first timeB. be the first one who discovered the ruins of Machu PicchuC. help make Machu Picchu a UNESCO World Heritage SiteD. work together with Bingham on research about Machu Picchu49.

I wanted to dye my hair and she said no. I wanted to 42 late with my friends and she said no. I didn’t understand why she said no. She was trying to 43 me from aches and pains and mistakes 44 in her teens. Several years later, I finally understood her, but it was too late. She became ill. I cried and 45 , “Don’t take her, God, please! She is my mother, my mommy, ma, the woman who gave me life.All my years, 46 the hard times and the good, she has been there, 47 to me forever by an invisible umbilical cord (脐带) that lasts longer after birth.”But this cord, this love could do nothing to stop the cancer from 48 .A few years later 49 I myself lay in the hospital bed, my newly born daughter was 50 in my arms. I cried and smiled and prayed. Please help me to 51 her into a wonderful girl. And looking down 52 her eyes, I could see the message they held, “Your 53 would be proud.”I stand in the kitchen now, and these thoughts flashed through my mind. I glanceat my young daughter.

Unfortunately, Elizabeth died before the palace was completed and only Catherine the Great and her successors were able to enjoy the great interior (内部) of Elizabeth’s home. Many parts of the palace’s impressive interior have been remodeled since then, particularly after 1837, when a huge fire destroyed most of the building. Today the Winter Palace, together with four more buildings arranged side by side along the river embankment, houses the extensive collections of the Hermitage. The Hermitage Museum is the largest art gallery in Russia and is among the largest and most respected art museums in the world.The museum was founded in 1764 when Catherine the Great bought a collection of 255 paintings from the German city of Berlin. Today, the Hermitage boasts over 2.7 million exhibits and displays, a diverse range of art and artifacts (手工艺品) from all over the world and throughout history (from Ancient Egypt to the early 20th century Europe). The Hermitage’s collections include works by Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Raphael and Titian, a collection of Rembrandts and Rubens, many French Impressionist works by Renoir, Cezanne, Monet and Pissarro, and several works by Rodin. The collection is really worth a stop for all those interested in art and history. The experts say that if you were to spend a minute looking at each exhibit on show in the Hermitage, you would need 11 years before you’d seen them all. However, we suggest you choose a guided tour instead!Location: Dvortsovaia Naberezhnaia, 32-38.Open: 10:30 am to 5:30 pm, Sunday till 5 pm.Closed: Mondays. Ticket-office closes 1 hour before closing time.56. According to the passage, the Winter Palace was built for ______.A. Catherine the GreatB. Empress Eliza bethC. Peter the GreatD. Empress Elizabeth’s successors57. What’s the main reason why many parts of the palace’s impressive interior were remodeled?A. Catherine the Great and her successors did n’t like the design.B. Empress Elizabeth wanted to remodel the palace.C. A huge fire destroyed most of the building in 1837.D. The building became old itself.58.

The Hermitage Museum is the largest art gallery in Russia.D. The Hermitage Museum was founded in 1764 when Empress Elizabeth bought a collection of 255 paintings from Berlin.59. If you want to visit the museum, when can you go?A. At 10:30 am on Monday.B. At 10:00 am on Tuesday.C. At 11:00 am on Sunday.D. None of the above.BIt was warm for a Sunday afternoon in early January. Kevin loved being outdoors among the wild rosebushes in front of his house with a view of distant mountains.It had been a good day for his wife, Sharon, too. They spent the morning in fron t of the house, talking and drinking tea. Sharon felt strong and tried her best to cook, starting a pot of homemade soup — a task that would have been nothing a few years ago, but is a little hard for her now. Her illness had left her weak, often puzzled.Sharon was the take-charge person in the family. She was seldom sick until 1997, when she began suffering from terrible headaches. One day at work, colleagues said she didn’t look right and urged her to go to the hospital. She rose from her chair and fell ove r. She could hear voices, but couldn’t speak. It looked as if she’d had a stroke.Other stroke-like symptoms (症状) followed. She had difficulty walking. She ran a fever all the time. The headaches never stopped. She and Kevin spent all their savings seeing doctors and on medical tests.In 2000, physicians said Sharon had brain damage that left her with symptoms resembling dementia (痴呆症). Once, she visited a familiar store and couldn’t remember where the exit was. Another time, she was making spaghetti, but didn’t know what to do after the water boiled.After seeing specialists, Kevin and Sharon came to believe that exposure (暴露) to mold had caused Sharon’s condition. Her world was certainly getting worse. At times she needed a wheelchair. The woman who never liked asking for help had to stay at home and rely on her husband.60. Why is it hard for Sharon to cook now?A. She got seriously ill.B. She became old.C. She couldn’t speak.D. She has not cooked for a long time.61. The underlined word “resembling” means “______”.A. likeB. asC. equal toD. representing62. According to the passage, what is the cause of Sharon’s illness?A. Working too hard.B. Exposure to the sun.C. Exposure to mold.D. Cooking too much.63. After reading the passage, we can infer that Shar on was a(n) ______ woman before she became ill.A. independentB. cleverD. kind D. forgetfulCPavarotti, one of the most famous tenors in the world, died in Italy on September 5, 2007. He died after a yearlong fight with cancer. He was 71 years old when he died.During his lifetime, his recordings sold more than 100 million albums (专辑), and his voice was popular everywhere.

Even during his most recent hospitalization (住院治疗), Pavarotti’s wife said that he would sing again.Pavarotti was born in Modena, Italy on Oct. 12, 1935. His father was a great tenor too.

From there, Pavarotti started a career that made him the world’s most famous opera singer. He was able to draw the attention of 500,000 in New York’s Central Park and was also able to invite stars such as James Brown, Sting and Bono to sing in his “Pavarotti & Friends” benefit concert, which was held every year.Pavarotti was a different kind of star. He was overweight, wearing a tux and sang in tongues foreign to most common Saturday Night Live viewers. Despite this, his fame transcended (超越) the opera house. Pavarotti won five Grammys all his life, earned a night at the Kennedy Center Honors with those well-known people like Jack Nicholson, Julie Andrews and Quincy Jones and played in his own Hollywood movie, the 1982 romantic comedy Yes?熏Giorgio, which was a failure.

The other six Ancient Wonders of the World are the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, the Statue of Zeus at Olympia, the Temple of Artemis at Ephesus, the Mausoleum at Halicarnassus, the Colossus of Rhodes and the Lighthouse of Alexandria. Now a new list of seven has been chosen from 21 locations shortlisted for the worldwide vote by history lovers.An original list of nearly 200 sites picked out by the public was narrowed to 21 by the organizers and experts, including the former director general of Unesco Professor Federico Mayor. Among the 21 locations were the Stonehenge (巨石阵) in Britain, Acropolis in Athens, the Statue of Liberty in New York, Taj Mahal in India and the Great Wall in China. The only standard for the new list was that the landmarks were built or discovered before 2000.The vote was organized by a non-profit Swiss foundation called New7Wonders specializing in the protection, rebuilding and mending of historical relics. The result was announced in Lisbon, on July 7, 2007.

We’ll know more after he sees the doctor. He doesn’t miss much, so when he misses, he’s hurt.”Yao returned home before Sunday night’s game. He has had a problem with his right big toe for some time, missing two preseason games because it was troubling him. The 25-year-old center has played in 266 regular-season games since joining the Rockets in 2002.“We can still win,” Van Gundy said. “Certainly, your chances are better when you have your better players.”“We just have to go about business as usual,” Rockets guard David Wesley said. “It’s unfortunate. We’ve got to find a way to win despite that. It won’t be easy.”Van Gundy said Dikembe Mutombo would take the place of Yao. Mutombo was averaging 10.9 minutes, 1.7 points and 3.3 rebounds (篮板) in 20 games.“I’m ready to go, and there’s no question about that,” the 39-year-old center said. “You don’t know when your name is going to be called.”Lakers’ coach Phil Jackson said Yao’s absence was “a disappointment for our fans”.When Lakers’ forward Lamar Odom was told that Yao wouldn’t be playing, he replied, “Good. This is sports, right?”73. From the passage it can be inferred that ______.A. Yao Ming missed his first game of his NBA careerB. Yao Ming has played in 266 regular-season games this yearC.

School education is very important and useful.Yet no one can learneverything from school. No matter how much a teacher knows, he cannot teach his students everything they want to know. His work is to show his students how to learn. He teaches them how to read and how to think. So, much more is to be learned outside school by the students themselves.It is always more important to know how to study by oneself. It is quite easy to learn something in a language or a formula in maths, but it is difficult to use a formula in finding the answer to a maths problem. Great inventors do not get everything from school but they can invent many things and change the world a lot.Though Thomas Edison invented many things he didn’t have much school education . How do they do all these ? Because they know how to study. A lot of things are not taught in the classroom. They get knowledge from books outside school. They work hard all their lives, and the most important thing is that they know how to use their head.31. What do many people go to school for ?A. To make friendsB. To get everythingC.

A monthly review.BFifth-grader Dominic — or Nic, as his friends call him — and the group of friends he’s walking with are from Oyster-Adams Bilingual School in Northwest Washington. Together on a “walking school bus,” these kids walk every day to get to school.“I love walking with my friends to school,” Lizey says. “This way, we have half an hour to hang out before school, and I feel good.”The walking school bus is an idea to encourage kids to walk to school. So what is a walking school bus, exactly?“It’s like a car pool (汽车共乘), except we walk,” says 10-year-old Stanton, who “rides” with Nic and Lizey. “There are different little stops, and the group just keeps getting bigger and bigger with more a nd more kids the closer we get to school.”“Walking school buses have many merits,” says Lizey’s mom, Meri, who started the “bus” that travels 1.3 miles each morning from Woodley Park to Oyster-AdamsBilingual School. The “bus” runs every day unless it’s c older than 25 degrees outside or it rains heavily. Meri says the effort put in setting up what she calls “walk pool” helps parents save time because they take turns checking the walk. It also saves energy and cuts down on neighborhood traffic. Having fewer cars on the road means better air quality. It also provides kids with a chance to exercise and have fun.But there are rules, such as being on time, staying on the sidewalk and crossing only at green lights and within crosswalks. Nic says another rule is that “your feet should move way faster than your lips.”“But that doesn’t usually happen,” Ruthie points out, “because Nic’s usually singing.”24.

It contains (包含) thousands of kilometers of dry grasslands and many rare kinds of animals.Edinburgh’s Old Town is in the capital city of Scotland. It has many old buildings and streets. There are very few new buildings in Edinburgh’s Old Town.The Monarch Butterfly Biosphere Reserve is near Mexico City in Mexico. It has beautiful flowers and forests. It is also the home of millions of butterflies in the winter.These three places are very different. But they are all under special protection by UNESCO (联合国教科文组织). They are World Heritage Sites.The story of World Heritage Sites begins more than 3,000 years ago. At that time, the great king of Egypt built many temples. But after thousands of years, sand covered them.Stories tell of a young boy named Abu Simbel who found the temples. One day, Abu Simbel saw something under the sand. Soon, the ancient temples of Ramses II were officially rediscovered. But they were not safe. The governmentof Egypt planned to build a dam on the Nile River. It would create a large lake, which would cover the temples in water.Many people did not want the temples destroyed. UNESCO agreed and raised 40 million dollars from around the world to save the temples. From 1964 to 1968, engineers took the temples apart in many pieces and rebuilt them hundreds of meters back from the Nile River. Today, they are called the Abu Simbel Temples, in memory of the young boy who first found them.The effort to save the Abu Simbel Temples was a success. So in 1972, UNESCO formed the World Heritage Committee, which protects places on the earth that are of great cultural or natural value.Any country in the world can ask for protection from UNESCO. The countries send a list of places to the World Heritage Committee. Once a year, the World Heritage Committee meets and votes on which places to protect. When they choose a place, it officially becomes a World Heritage Site.28. What’s special about Edinburgh’s Old Town?A. It has no new buildings.B. It’s a World Heritage Site.C.

Every day, millions of people watch his videos on the Internet. But there is something about Maru that may surprise you. He is a cat.There are many famous Internet cats. Some cats are famous for their videos like Maru. The woman who owns Maru puts new videos on Youtube often. People love tosee what Maru is doing. Another famous cat is called “Grumpy Cat”. Grumpy Cat looks as if she is angry all the time and she usually appears in pictures.Pictures are a popular way cats exist (存在) on the Internet. Some are memes (an idea, behavior, or style that spreads from person to person within a culture), like Grumpy Cat. These cat picture memes often include funny words. They use wrong words as if the cat is speaking in a strange form of English.One of the most famous cat memes is called “I can has cheezburger”. The picture was the first on a website about cat memes. This website is even called “I can has cheezburger”. Ben Huh bought the small website in 2007. And today, it is part of a group of sites. He earns millions of dollars every year managing them.But why do people on the Internet like cats so much? How can websites like these be successful? Some experts believe that cats amaze us. Often, it is very difficult to train a cat. So, when people see a cat do something amazing, they know it did the trick without training.Or maybe people just love seeing cats on the Internet because cats are cute. We may never know the answer. But we do know one thing. Cats will be on the Internet for a long time. Matt Smith, who produces videos and pictures for the Internet, explains, “There will always be more cats on the Internet because so many people have cats. That means there is a lot of basic material for meme creation.”32. What do Maru and Grumpy Cat have in common?A. They are Internet stars.B. They seem to be always angry.C.

What is Matt Smith’s attitude towards the future of cat memes?A. Doubtful.B. Worried.C. Hopeful.D. Unclear.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
