Stonehenge, a rock circle, is not only one of Britain’s most famous historical places but also one of its greatest mysteries (秘密). Every year it rec eives more than 750,000 visitors. People like to go to this place especially in June as they want to see the sun rising on the longest day of the year.For many years, historians (历史学家) believed Stonehenge was a temple where ancient leaders tried to communicate with the gods. However, historia n Paul Stoker thinks this can’t be true because Stonehenge was built so many centuries ago. “The leaders arrived in England much later,” he points out.Another popular idea is that Stonehenge might be a kind of calendar. The large stones were put together in a certain way. On midsummer’s morning, th e sun shines directly into the center of the stones. Other people believe the stones have a medical purpose. They think the stones can prevent illness and keeppeople healthy. “As you walk there, you can feel the energy from your feet move up your body,” said one visitor. No one is sure what Stonehenge was used f or, but most agree that the position of the stones must be for a special purpose. Some think it might be a burial (埋葬) place or a place to honor ancestors (先). Others think it was built to celebrate a victory over an enemy.Stonehenge was built slowly over a long period of time. Most historians believe it must be almost 5,000 years old. One of the greatest mysteries is how it was built because the stones are so big and heavy. In 2001, a group of English volunteers tried to build another Stonehenge, but they couldn’t. “We don’eally know who built Stonehenge,” says Paul Stoker. “And perhaps we might never know, but we do know they must have been hard-working-and great pla nners!”【小题1】Visitors like to go there in ________ to enjoy ________ on the longest day of the year.A．June; sunrise B．July; sunrise C．June; sunset D．July; sunset【小题2】When was Stonehenge most likely (可能) built?A．750,000 years ago.B．Six centuries ago.C．In 2001.D．5,000 years ago.【小题3】What do most people think was Stonehenge built for?A．Ancient leaders built it a temple to communicate with the gods.B．It might be a kind of calendar to tell people the summertime.C．It can prevent illness and make people feel energetic.D．It must be for a special purpose because of the position of the stones.【小题4】What aren’t people interested in about Stonehenge?A．Who built it.B．Where it was built.C．When it was built.D．Why it was built.【小题5】What does Paul Stoker mean by “we do know they must have been hard-working-and great planners”?A．He thinks Stonehenge is really a great mystery.B．He has known who built Stonehenge.C．He believes he will find out who built Stonehenge.D．He encourages volunteers to build another Stonehenge.四、根据首字母填空21.

I usually can’t buy her favourite food, but today she will be so happy!” I don’t know if the kids noticed the tears in my eyes.
