AIn the 19th century Americans from the eastern states moved out west to settle in the rich new land along the Pacific Coast.The most difficult part of their trip was crossing the “Great American Desert” in the western part of the United States.The western desert can be very dangerous.There is little water and there are few trees.But the desert also has scenery of great beauty.Tall towers of red and yellow stones rise sharply from the flat,sandy valley floor.At Lake Powell,the red stone arch (弓形) of Rainbow Bridge rises high above the blue lake.Many areas of Lake Powell's shore can only be reached by boat or on foot.But hikers sometimes find very old native American pictures,painted on the rocks.In Death Valley,California,the summer temperature rises to 130—165 degrees Fahrenheit.There is less than two inches of rain each year.In the 1800s,many travellers died when they tried to cross this waterless valley in the terrible heat.Although the desert is dry and seems empty,there is plenty of life if you look closely.Small insects,snakes,and rats have learned to live underground and come out at night when it is cool.Plants like cacti (仙人掌) which need very little water live here.When it rains,such plants grow quickly,and flowers open in a single day.For a short time,the desert is covered with brilliant colours.Modern visitors to the Great American Desert don't have the same problems as early travellers had.They have air conditioning and can carry plenty of water in their cars.They enjoy the change from the crowded city.And there is nothing more beautiful than the colour of a desert sunset.【语篇解读】介绍了美国大沙漠的情况。

ANicola MacFarlane,41,and her daughter Lucy,four,from Portobello,near Edinburgh,were playing on the Portobello Beach when they came across an old glass bottle sticking out of the sand containing a note inside written in Chinese.It is unclear when the letter was sent off,but it was written on Chinese Valentine's Day,or Qixi Festival as it is more traditionally known,which falls on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month.Whether the message has travelled thousands of miles from China or whether it was penned by a love-struck pair much closer to home may remain a mystery.But for Nicola it doesn't matter—she is still excited to read about the Chinese love story after having it translated.She said,“I really do hope that it is from China but even if it is from someone nearer to home,it's still a lovely gesture and an inspiring find.It's a love story regardless of where it came from.”“We saw the bottle sticking out of the sand and just thought it was junk that someone had left behind.But after picking it up I noticed there was a piece of brown paper rolled up inside and there was some foreign writing on it.We quite excitedly took it home,carefully opened the bottle and took out the sheet of paper using some tweezers (镊子).We knew it was Chinese,but we had no idea what it said.”Unable to read the Chinese text,Nicola turned to the Internet and her Australian friend,Julie Gould,whose daughter attended a Chinese school in Sydney.Several hours later Julie returned with the news that it was in fact a love letter.Nicola said,“It sounds to me like the couple are in love but cannot be together so they have sent the message to tell the world of their love.I'm blown__away by it to be honest—it's incredible that it has travelled all this way.”【语篇解读】尼古拉和4岁的女儿在英国爱丁堡附近海滩发现了一个藏在沙子里的玻璃瓶,瓶子里装有一封用中文写的情书,它可能从中国漂流而来,真是太不可思议了。

In fact, 94 percent of the world’s 400 species are harmless to humans. A shark 38 at the National Aquarium in Baltimore, US, proves this. Visitors can 39 young sharks, see their eggs deve lop and watch dozens of different species swim 40 around a huge tank. Most people41 to realize that shark attacks don’t happen very often. Humans are more42 to be killed by lightning than by a shark. And to make this point clear, the museum has43 a special touching pool for children. There, kids can learn, from an early age,44 sharks. They can watch them develop inside their eggs and feel the skin of the older swimmers. “People fear what they don’t know,” said Nancy Hotchkiss, an organizer of the exhibition, which runs45 December. “Sharks have been around for 400 million years and play an important role in the ocean’s food 46 . We want people to discover that sharks are47 animals that need our respect and 48 . ” A shocking 100 million sharks are killed every year around the world by humans. Scientists found that almost all recorded shark species have fallen 49 half in the past 8 to 15 years. Thousands of sharks are hunted in Asia for special foods,50 shark fin(鱼翅)soup. And many others get 51 in nets, while fishermen are hunting other fish.52 half of all sharks are smaller than one meter long. “Some fishing methods are actually 53 the ocean,” said Dave Schofield, the manager of the aquarium’s ocean health programme. “The fis hermen throw them away 54 rubbish.

With the help of Max Egan,we went to filmthem near Byron Bay. It was extremely exciting to spot the little puffs (水柱) of spray on the horizon. When migrating,the whales can be traveling at speeds of about 12 km/hour and can dive under anywhere between five and forty minutes, but with many years of experience Max usually guided our boat to exactly the right place to provide us with amazing sighting. As the whales break the surface like submarines (潜水艇),the water spills off their broad dark backs and huge tails. Then, with a powerful downstroke, they dive back into the depths of the sea, leaving just a smooth glassy patc h of water or “footprint” on the surface to indicate where they had been.On one day we had traveled up and down the shore and far out to sea in search of whales, but the horizon was deserted. There was no report of whales in the area so we decided to test out Max’s new, highly sensitive hydrophone (水下听音器) and the result was astonishing. As soon as the hydrophone was in the water, we found ourselves listening to the most beautiful voices. What may have seemed like a vast empty ocean was filled with the singing of whales.It is the males which sing, as they migrate between feeding and breeding grounds. No one knows for sure what the purpose of these songs is, whether they are love songs to the females or warnings to other males to stay away.It was thought that each population of humpbacks had its own song which remained constant but recent findings suggest that the whales appreciate a memorable tune and quickly adopt any new songs they hear.56. Which finding about whales is beyond the writer’s expectation?A. The little puffs.B. The songs of whales.C. The traveling speed of whales.D. The depth of the whale’s dive.57. What do we know about Max?A. He likes whales very much.B. He is a brave scientist on whales.C. He is an experienced man in finding whales.D. He is an expert in making hydrophones.58. The writer’s main purpose of looking for whales is ______.A. carrying out research on whalesB. studying the beautiful songs of whalesC. making films about whalesD. hunting whales for research59. What’s the WRONG opinion abou t whales before according to the passage?A. Each group of humpbacks had the song of their own.B. Whales can’t sing to each other.C. Whales aren’t easy to find.D. Whales can’t dive in the sea as long as forty minutes.(B)Dolphins(海豚)are not fish, but warm-blooded animals. Theylive in groups, and speak to each other in their own language. In thisway they are like other animals,such as bees and birds. Butdolphins are very different from almost all land animals. Their brainis nearly the same size as our own and they live a long time—at least twenty or thirty years.Like some animals, dolphins use sound to help them find their way around. They also make these sounds to talk to each other and to help them find food. We now know they do no t use their ears to receive these sounds,but the lower part of the mouth, called the jaw.Strangely, dolphins seem to like man, and for thousands of years there have been stories about the dolphin and its friendship with people.There is a story about sailors in the 19th century. In a dangerous part of the sea off the coast of New Zealand,they learnt to look for a dolphin called Jack. From 1871 to 1903,Jack met every boat in the area and showed it the way. Then in 1903 a passenger on a boat call ed The Penguin shot and wounded Jack. He recovered and for nine years more continued to guide all ships through the area—except for The Penguin.Today, some people continue to kill dolphins,but many countries of the world now protect them and in these places it is against the law to kill them.60. Dolphins are different from many other animals because they ______.A. live in groupsB. have large brainsC. are warm-bloodedD. have their own language61. Which of the following does the dolphin use to he lp it find its way around?A. Its nose.B. Its ears.C. Its mouth.D. Its eyes.62. Why did the sailors off the coast of New Zealand look for Jack?A. He was lonely and liked to be with people.B. They enjoyed playing with him.C. He was seriously wounded.D. They wanted his help.63. By telling the story of Jack the writer wanted to show that ______.A. dolphins are friendly and cleverB. people are cruel to animalsC. Jack is different from other dolphinsD. dolphins should be protected by law(C)Michael Fish may soon be replaced as a weather forecaster bysomething truly fishier—the shark (鲨鱼).Research by a British biology student suggests that sharkscould be used to predict storms.Lauren Smith,24,is close to completing her study on shark’sability to sense pressure.If her studies prove the theory,scientists may be able to monitor the behaviour of sharks to predict bad weather.Miss Smith had previously studied the behaviour of lemon sharks in theBahamas.She then used their close relatives,lesser spotted dogfish,for further research at Aberdeen University.Her work—thought to be the first of its kind to test the pressure theory—resulted from the observation that juvenile blacktip sharks off Flori da moved into deeper water ahead of a violent storm in 2001.Miss Smith said: “I’ve always been crazy about traveling and diving and this led me to an interest in sharks. ”“I was delighted to have been able to research in the area for my degree. I know there’s so much more we need to understand—but it certainly opens the way to more research. ”It has been discovered that a shark senses pressure using hair cells in its balance system.At the Bimini Shark Lab in the Bahamas, Miss Smith fixed hi-tech sensors to sharks to record pressure and temperature,while also tracking them using GPS (Global Positioning System) technology.In Aberdeen, she was able to study the effects of tidal(潮汐的) and temperature changes on dogfish—none of which were harmed. She also used a special lab which can mimic(模拟) oceanic pressure changes caused by weather fronts.She is due to complete her study and graduate later this year. She says she will be looking for a job which will give her the chance to enri ch her experience of shark research.64. The passage is most probably taken from ______.A. a short-story collectionB. a popular science magazineC. a research paperD. a personal diary65. What do we learn from the first four paragraphs of the passage?A. Sharks may be used to predict bad weather.B. Sharks’ behaviour can be controlled.C. Michael Fish is not qualified for his job.D. Lauren Smith will become a weather forecaster.66. Lauren Smith conducted her research by ______.A. removing hai r cells from a shark’s balance systemB. measuring the air pressure of weather frontsC. recording sharks’ body temperatureD. monitoring sharks’ reaction to weather changes67. What is the passage mainly about?A. A popular way of forecasting weather.B. A new research effort in predicting storms.C. Biologists’ interest in the secrets of sharks.D. Lauren Smith’s devotion to scientific research.(D)The Giant Squids(鱿鱼)in the Deep OceanJapanese scientists have taken the first photographs of oneof the most mysterious creatures in the deep ocean—the giantsquid.Until now the only information about the behavior of thecreatures which measure up to 18 meters(59 feet) in length hasbeen based on dead or dying squid washed up on shore or captured in commercial fishing nets.But Tsunemi Kubodera of the National Science Museum,and Kyoichi Mori of the Ogasawara Whale Watching Association, both in Tokyo have ca ptured the first images of Architeuthis attacking bait(鱼饵)900 meters below the surface in the cold, dark waters of the North Pacific. “We show the first wild images of a giant squid in its natural environment,”they said in a report in the journal Proceedings B of the Royal Society.Little is known about the creatures because it has been so difficult tolocate and study them alive. Large ships and specialist equipment,which is costly, are needed to study deep sea environments.The Japanese scientists found the squid by following sperm whales,the most effective hunters of giant squids,as they gathered to feed between September and December in the deep waters off the coast of the Ogasawara Islands in the North Pacific. They used a remote long-line camera and depth logging system to capture the giant squid in the ocean depths.The most dramatic character of giant squids is the pair of extremely long tentacles(触须),distinct from the eight shorter arms. The long tentacles make up to two-thirds of the length of the dead specimens(标本,样本)to date. The giant squid appears to be a much more active meat-eating animal than researchers thought before.68. The passage mainly tells us that ______.A. scientists captured a giant squid aliveB. scientists captured a giant squid on cameraC. giant squids are spe cial meat-eating animalsD. giant squids mainly live in the deep sea69. According to the passage,we can infer that the underlined word “Architeuthis” should refer to ______.A. a scientistB. the sperm whaleC. a big shipD. the giant squid70. According to the passage, giant squids ______.A. like living in the cold and deep watersB. mainly feed on the dead fishC. like playing, using their tentaclesD. have only eight arms around the mouth71. According to the passage, the scientists located the giant squid _____.A. through a remote long-line cameraB. by using depth logging systemC. by following sperm whalesD. by using the bait to attract it(E)A child who has once been pleased with a tale likes, as a rule, tohave it retold in almost the same words, but this should not leadparents to treat printed fairy stories as formal texts. It is always muchbetter to tell a story than read it out from a book, and, if a parent canproduce what, in the actual circumstances(情况) of the time and theindividual child, is an improvement on the printed text,that’s muchbetter.A charge made against fairy tales is that they harm the children by frightening them or making them sad thinking. To prove the latter,one would have to show in a controlled ex periment that children who had read fairy stories were more often guilty of cruelty than those who had not. As to fears, there are, I think, some cases of children being strongly terrified by some fairy stories. This also arises from the child who has hear d the story once. However,familiarity with the story by repetition turns the pain of fear into the pleasure of a fear faced and mastered.There are also people who are opposed to fairy stories in that they are not true, that giants, witches, two-headed dragons, magic carpets, etc. do not exist; and that, instead of being fond of the strange side in fairy tales, the child should be taught how to adapt to reality by studying history and mechanics. I find such people, I must say so strange that I do not k now how to argue with them. If their cases were sound, the world should be full of mad men attempting to fly from New York to Philadelphia on a stick or covering a telephone with kisses in the belief that it was their beloved girlfriend.No fairy story has ever claimed(声称) to be description of the real world and no clever child has ever believed that it is.72.The author considered that a fairy story is more effective ______.A. when a story is repeated without any changeB. when we treat a story as a jokeC. when the parent makes some changes about a storyD. when the story is set in the present time73.According to the passage, a child can feel scared when a story is ____.A. in a realistic settingB. heard for the first timeC. repeated too oftenD. told in a different way74.What is the advantage claimed for repeating fairy stories to young children?A. Making them less fearful.B. Developing their power of memory.C. Making them believe there is nothing to be afraid of.D. Encouraging them not to have stran ge beliefs.75.According to the last paragraph, we can know ______.A. fairy stories are still being made upB. there are some misunderstandings about fairy talesC. people try to update old fairy storiesD. there is more concern for children’s fears now adays第Ⅱ卷(非选择题)Ⅴ. 书面表达(共1题;满分35分)假设你是李华,在出国交流学习期间,到当地一家电影院看了一场精彩的电影,但在观看电影过程中发现了一些问题。

Scott Fitzgerald, born on September 24, 1896, an Americannovelist, was once a student of St. Paul Academy, the NewmanSchool and attended Princeton University for a short while. In1917 he joined the army and was posted in Alabama, where he met his future wife Zelda Sayre. Then he had to make some money to impress her.His life with her was full of great happiness, as he wrote in his diary: “My own happiness in the past often approached such joy that I could share it even with the person dearest to me but had to walk it away in quiet streets and take down parts of it in my diary. ”This Side of Paradise, his first novel, was published in 1920. Encouraged by its success, Fitzgerald began to devote more time to his writing. Then he continued with the novel The Beautiful and Damned (1922), a collection of short stories Tales of the Jazz Age (1922), and a play The Vegetable(1923). But his greatest success was The Great Gatsby, published in 1925, which quickly brought him praise from the literary world. Yet it failed to give him the needed financial security. Then, in 1926, he published another collection of short stories All the Sad Young Men.However, Fitzgerald’s problems with his wife Zelda affected his writing. During the 1920s, he tried to reorder his life, but failed. By 1930, his wife had her first breakdown and went to a Swiss clinic. During this period, he completed novels Tender Is the Night in 1934 and The Love of the Last Tycoon in 1940. While his wife was in hospital in the United States, he got totally addicted to alcohol. Sheila Graham, his dear friend, helped him fight his alcoholism.56. How many novels written by Fitzgerald are mentioned in the passage?A. 5B. 6C. 7D. 857. Which of the following is the correct order to describe Fitzgerald’s life according to the passage?a. He became addicted to drinking.b. He studied at St. Paul Academy.c. He published his first novel This Side of Paradise.d. The Great Gatsby won high praise.e. He failed to reorder his life.f. He joined the army and met Zelda.A. f-c-e-a-b-dB. b-e-a-f-c-dC. f-d-e-c-b-aD. b-f-c-d-e-a58. We can infer from the passage that Fitzgerald ________.A. had made some money when he met Zelda in AlabamaB. was well educated and well off before he served in the armyC. would have completed more works if his wife hadn’t broken downD. helped his friend get rid of drinking while his wife was in hospital59. The passage is probably followed by a concluding paragraph about________.A. Zelda’s personal lifeB. Zelda’s illness and treatmentC. Fitzgerald’s friendship with GrahamD. Fitzgerald’s contributions to the literary world(B)Of all the famous English writers, probably the best knownis William Shakespeare.He was born in Stratford-upon-Avon in1564 on April 23rd.His father was an important man in town so Shakespeare had agood upbringing. Shakespeare probably went to school (althoughno records survive to prove this) but not university. He got married when he was 18 to Anne Hathaway and the couple had 3 children.Shakespeare wrote 38 plays and 154 sonnets (a sonnet is a kind of poem). He began workingin his hometown of Stratford but by 1592, he was writing in London. He became rich enough to buy a house in the capital and one in Stratford. He wrote sad stories called tragedies, like Romeo and Juliet, funny stories or comedies, romantic stories and stories about historical figures such as Julius Caesar.Shakespeare died on his birthday in 1616, almost 400 years ago. But why is his work still popular today?His work looked at common human themes, such as betrayal, murder, lust, power, ambition and love. These themes are as much a part of human nature today as they were all those years ago and are the themes we see in modern soap operas and Hollywood films. Even though his theatre, The Globe, was burned down in 1613, it was rebuilt in London in 1997 and you can still see his plays performed there today.S hakespeare’s influence on the English language can still be felt today. We talk about “fair play”, meaning honest behaviour but this phrase was first used by Shakespeare. He coined the phrase “you can have too much of a good thing”. And it was Shakespeare who came up with the expression to disappear “into thin air” which we still use today when we lose something.Shakespeare’s works have been translated into every major language in the world. And perhaps we’ll still be as fascinated by his works 400 years from now as we’ve been for almost the last 400.60. Romeo and Juliet belongs to________.A. comediesB. tragediesC. romantic storiesD. historical stories61. Why is Shakespeare still well received today?A. Because his plays can always remind you of your good old days.B. Because his plays reflect common human themes.C. Because there have been several Hollywood films based on his plays.D. Because his plays are easy to understand.62. Which of the following is RIGHT according to the passage?A. Shakespeare graduated from Oxford University.B. Shakespeare passed away on April 23rd, 1616.C. The language in Shakespeare’s original works is still used today.D. Shakespeare is the most famous writer around the world.63. We can conclude that Shakespeare ________.A. made great contributions to the English languageB. was born in a poor familyC. was fond of making money by selling housesD. created modern soap operas(C)A child who has once been pleased with a tale likes, as a rule,to have it retold in almost the same words, but this should not leadparents to treat printed fairy stories as formal texts. It is alwaysmuch better to tell a story than read it out from a book, and, if aparent can produce what, in the actual circumstances(情况) of the time and the individual child, is an improvement on the printed text, that’s much better.A charge made against fairy tales is that they harm the children by frightening them or making them sad thinking. To prove the latter, one would have to show in a controlled experiment that children who had read fairy stories were more often guilty of cruelty than those who had not. As to fears, there are, I think, some cases of children being strongly terrified by some fairy stories. This also arises from the child who has heard the story once. However, familiarity with the story by repetition turns the pain of fear into the pleasure of a fear faced and mastered.There are also people who are opposed to fairy stories in that they are not true, that giants, witches, two-headed dragons, magic carpets, etc. do not exist; and that, instead of being fond of the strange side in fairy tales, the child should be taught how to adapt to reality by studying history and mechanics. I find such people, I must say so strange that I do not know how to argue with them. If their cases were sound, the world should be full of mad men attempting to fly from New York to Philadelphia on a stick or covering a telephone with kisses in the belief that it was their beloved girlfriend.No fairy story has ever claimed(声称) to be description of the real world and no clever child has ever believed that it is.64.The author considered that a fairy story is more effective________ .A. when a story is repeated without any changeB. when we treat a story as a jokeC. when the parent makes some changes about a storyD. when the story is set in the present time65.What is the advantage claimed for repeating fairy stories to young children?A. Making them less fearful.B. Developing their power of memory.C. Making them believe there is nothing to be afraid of.D. Encouraging them not to have strange beliefs.66.According to the last paragraph, we can know ________.A. fairy stories are still being made upB. there are some misunderstandings about fairy talesC. people try to update old fairy storiesD. there i s more concern for children’s fears nowadays67. According to the passage, what’s the writer’s attitude towards fairy stories?A. Supportive.B. Objective.C. Neutral.D. Critic.(D)Here are brief introductions to some popular novels.WATCHERS Two mutants(突异变种), both changedfrom the animals they once were, escape and no one whoencounters them will ever be the same again. A lonely widower,a ruthless assassin, a beautiful woman and a government agentare drawn together in a deadly hunt. All four are cruelly propelled(推进) towards a fight with an evil beyond human imagining.THE MASK She had appeared out of nowhere in front ofCarol’s car. She was a teenager with no past and no memory.Carol and Paul were instantly drawn to her, and they called herJane—she was the daughter they never had. But then thequestions began. Where had Jane come from? Who was thegirl behind the mask?THE FUNHOUSE Young Ellen ran away, joined a carnival,married a man she grew to hate and gave birth to a child so uglythat she killed it. Years later she has a new husband and twochildren, Amy and Joey, but the time has come for Amy and Joeyto pay for her sins(罪恶) as Amy is pregnant and the carnivalis back in town.LOVE STORY He is Oliver Barrett IV, a rich jockery from astuffy Wasp family on his way to a Harvard degree and a career inlaw. She is Jenny Cavilleri, a wisecracking working-class beautystudying music at Radcliffe. They are opposites in nearly everyway. But they fall in love. This is their story.68. Which novel is about a fierce fight between justice and evil?A. WATCHERSB. THE MASKC. THE FUNHOUSED. LOVE STORY69. In the novel WATCHERS, two mutants_________.A. were once animalsB. transform everything they meetC. hunt for beautiful womenD. kill a lot of people70. The underlined sentence in the brief introduction to the novel LOVE STORY means _________.A. they are the same in every wayB. they are quite different from each other in most aspectsC. they have a lot in commonD. they are attracted by each other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。

ANicola MacFarlane,41,and her daughter Lucy,four,from Portobello,near Edinburgh,were playing on the Portobello Beach when they came across an old glass bottle sticking out of the sand containing a note inside written in Chinese.It is unclear when the letter was sent off,but it was written on Chinese Valentine's Day,or Qixi Festival as it is more traditionally known,which falls on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month.Whether the message has travelled thousands of miles from China or whether it was penned by a love-struck pair much closer to home may remain a mystery.But for Nicola it doesn't matter—she is still excited to read about the Chinese love story after having it translated.She said,“I really do hope that it is from China but even if it is from someone nearer to home,it's still a lovely gesture and an inspiring find.It's a love story regardless of where it came from.”“We saw the bottle sticking out of the sand and just thought it was junk that someone had left behind.But after picking it up I noticed there was a piece of brown paper rolled up inside and there was some foreign writing on it.We quite excitedly took it home,carefully opened the bottle and took out the sheet of paper using some tweezers (镊子).We knew it was Chinese,but we had no idea what it said.”Unable to read the Chinese text,Nicola turned to the Internet and her Australian friend,Julie Gould,whose daughter attended a Chinese school in Sydney.Several hours later Julie returned with the news that it was in fact a love letter.Nicola said,“It sounds to me like the couple are in love but cannot be together so they have sent the message to tell the world of their love.I'm blown__away by it to be honest—it's incredible that it has travelled all this way.”【语篇解读】尼古拉和4岁的女儿在英国爱丁堡附近海滩发现了一个藏在沙子里的玻璃瓶,瓶子里装有一封用中文写的情书,它可能从中国漂流而来,真是太不可思议了。

ALost Cities That Have Been FoundThe White CityIn 2015,a team of explorers to Honduras in search of “the Lost City of the Monke God” led to th e discovery of the White City.They found the ruins in the Mosquitia region of the Central American country which is known for poisonous snakes,vicious jaguars and deadly insects.It is believed that local people hid here when the Spanish conquerors (征服者) occupied their homeland in the 16th century.Canopus and HeracleionModern researchers were teased by the ancient writings about the Egyptian cities Canopus and Heracleion—where Queen Cleopatra often visited.But the cities weren't found until 1992,when a search in Alexandria waters found that the two cities had been flooded for centuries.Artifacts (工艺品) showed that the cities once highly developed as a trade network,which helped researchers piece together more about the last queen of Egypt.Machu PicchuA Y ale professor discovered “the Lost City in the Clouds” in 1911.A combination of palaces,plazas,temples and homes,Machu Picchu displays the Inca Empire at the height of its rule.The city,which was abandoned in the 16th century for unknown reasons,was hidden by the local people from the Spanish conquerors for centuries,keeping it so well preserved.TroyThe ancient city of Troy in Homer's The Iliad was considered a fictional setting for his characters to run wild.But in 1871,explorations in northwestern Turkey exposed nine ancient cities layered (层叠) on top of each other,the earliest dating back to about 5,000 years before.It was later determined that the sixth or seventh layer contained the lost city of Troy and that it was actually destroyed by an earthquake,not a wooden horse.【语篇解读】文章介绍了几座已被发现的遗失的城市,以及与它们相关的一些史实。
