47．William 's birthday is ________.A ．the 12th , AugustB ．the 8th DecemberC ．the 12th , DecemberD ．the 8th August48．Where is William from ?A ．America .B ．Spain .C ．England .D ．China .49．How long will William stay in the USA ?A ．Two weeks .B ．One week .C ．Two months .D ．One month .50．Where do you find the card ?A ．At the school .B ．At the bus stop .C ．In the airplane .D ．In the hospital .BThe oldest stone buildings in the world are the pyramids . Theyhave stood for nearly 5000 years , and it seems likely that they willcontinue to stand for thousands of years yet . The most famous ofthese are the “Step ” pyramid and the “Bent ” pyramid .Some of the pyramids still look much as they must have done when they were built thousands of years ago . Most of the damage（破坏） has been at the hands of men who were looking for treasure or , more often , for stones to use in modern buildings . The dry climate of Egypt has helped to preserve the pyramids , and their very shape has made them less likely to fall into ruin （废墟）. These are good reasons why they can still be seen today , but perhaps the most important is that they were planned to last forever .It is most likely that plans were made for the building of the pyramids because the plans of other large works have fortunately been preserved . But , there are no writings or pictures to show us how the Egyptians planned or built the pyramid themselves . As a result , we are only able to guess at the methods used . However , one thing is certain : there must have been months of careful planning before they could begin to build . The first thing they had to do was to choose a suitable place . You may think this would have been easy with miles and miles of empty desert around , but a pyramid could not be built just anywhere . Certain rules had to be followed , and certain problems had to be overcome .The pyramid had to be on the west side of the Nile , the side on which the sun sets . This was for religious reasons . The pyramid also had to stand well above the level of the river to protect it against the regular floods . The pyramid could not be too far from the Nile , however , as the stones to build it needed to be carried in boats down the river to the nearest point . Water transport was , of course , much easier than land transport . The builders also had to find a rock base which was not likely to crack under the great weight of the pyramid . Finally , the pyramid had to be near the capital , or better still , near the king 's palace so that he could visit it easily and personally check the progress being made on the final resting place for his body .51．Most of the damage to the pyramids has been caused by ________.A ．stonesB ．riversC ．weatherD ．men52．What 's the meaning of the underlined word preserve ?A ．Damage .B ．Protect .C ．Build .D ．Cover .53．What was the first thing people had to do before they could begin to build ?A．To follow the rules . B ．To draw the pictures .C ．To choose the fight place .D ．To find the workers .54．To protect a pyramid from floods they could have built it a long way from the Nile, but ________.A．it bad to be built on the west side of the river Nile where the sun setsB．it was difficult to find a large enough rock base so far from the fiverC．this would have been impossible because of religious reasonsD．this would have made it very difficult to transport the materialsC“Track!”said my master.Like any good tracker-dog who has received the command（命令）he most loves, I gave a bark of excitement, put my nose down to the ground and sniffed. The ground was rich with smells. Even in the high-class housing area where we were working, the stones held traces of many sole and confusing scents（smells）. As I searched for the scent that would give me a clue to the tail of the guilty man, my tail wagged slowly, thoughtfully, delightedly. Work was like play to me；I enjoyed it.A small group of people gathered behind us. Among these onlookers was the old caretaker of the building next door to ours. He spoke in a scornful voice, “You actually think your dog might catch a thief three days after the event?”My master said nothing, but I'm sure he must have smiled. I did not turn to look. I knew he would not speak unless it was to give me a new command.I needed to concentrate. My task was difficult. I had to pick out one scent among the many that lay about and then tracked it to its source.“You're wasting your time,”said the caretaker. I looked at him without raising my head. He was running his hand over his fat stomach. His rough palm and smooth shirt combined to make a slight noise. It was part of my training to be aware—often it is only a little whisper of a noise that alerts（提醒）you to be drawing of a weapon. But of course the aging caretaker was going to do no such thing. There was no smell of fear or nervousness about him. He was merely being clever and talkative.“I've seen many tracker-dogs in my time,”said the caretaker to the onlookers. I served with the police years ago. We would never have thought of using a tracker-dog to find a car thief. Impossible. Everyone knows that dogs are useless in such matters.In a sense he was right. I'm sure there's no need to tell you that, just as a dog's hearing is much better than a human being's, so his sense of smell tells one thing from another far better than a great detective. If Sherlock Holmes could work out that a man had had an egg for breakfast by seeing the yellow stain on his mouth, a trained dog could tell you whether the hen that laid the egg was healthy or not.I know it sounds funny and I mean it to be. But I'm not exaggerating. A dog can tell you—if you understand a dog’s way of communicating—all this and more without even setting eyes on the man he is investigating.55．Who do you think the dog was tracking?A．The thief.B．The caretaker.C．The master.D．The onlookers. 56．How did the dog react to the command to track?A．It thought for a while and did what was asked.B．It was happy, even though it wasn't trained for the task.C．It was angry because there were so many smells.D．It was excited because it took pleasure in tracking.57．In the dog's opinion, its sense of smell ________.A．can give us fewer details about what a human has already discoveredB．can achieve more than what a human's only if the smell is not hiddenC．is particularly trained to pick out one scent among hundredsD．is better than its sense of hearing when it does tracking58．According to the passage, the dog is ________.A．honest and hopeful B．smart and helpfulC．kind and careful D．popular and thoughtful第Ⅱ卷（非选择题共50分）七、完成句子（共10分，每小题2分）根据中文意思完成句子。
