One of the most fascinating aspects of their culture was their belief in the afterlife and the elaborate burials that accompanied it. The most well-known of these burials are the pyramids, particularly the Great Pyramid of Giza, which remains the only one of the ancient Seven Wonders of the World still standing today.The construction of the Great Pyramid of Giza was an engineering marvel. It was built during the reign of Pharaoh Khufu, also known as Cheops, around 2580–2560 BC. The pyramid was designed to serve as the final resting place for the Pharaoh, who was believed to ascend to the afterlife upon his death. The pyramid is made of an estimated two million blocks of stone, each weighingbetween two and fifteen tons. The stones were quarried from the nearby Giza Plateau and transported to the construction site using a system of ramps and sledges.The interior of the Great Pyramid is equally remarkable. It features a central burial chamber, which was the final resting place for Khufu. Surrounding this central chamber are three smaller chambers, which are believed to have been used for various purposes. The pyramid also contains a series of corridors and passageways, including the Grand Gallery, which leads to the burial chamber.In addition to the Great Pyramid, the Egyptians also built numerous other pyramids, including the pyramids of Khafre and Menkaure. These pyramids were also intended for Pharaohs, and they were constructed using similar methods and techniques as the Great Pyramid.1.What was the primary purpose of the Great Pyramid of Giza?a) A temple for worshipb) The final resting place for the Pharaohc) A center for political powerd) A place for public gatherings2.During which Pharaoh’s reign was the Great Pyramid of Giza built?a) Khafreb) Menkaurec) Khufud) Tutankhamun3.How many blocks of stone were used to build the Great Pyramid of Giza?a) 500,000b) 1,000,000c) 2,000,000d) 3,000,0004.What is the name of the passageway that leads to the burial chamber in the Great Pyramid?a) The Grand Galleryb) The Central Corridorc) The King’s Chamberd) The Queen’s ChamberAnswers:1.b2.c3.c4.a第三题Passage:In recent years, the rise of social media has changed the way people communicate and interact with each other. Platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram have become an integral part of our daily lives, allowing us to connect with friends and family, share our experiences, and stay updated with current events. However, along with the benefits, there are also some drawbacks to thisnew form of communication.One of the main advantages of social media is the ability to stay connected wi th people who are far away. Whether you’re traveling, living abroad, or simply busy with work, social media makes it possible to keep in touch with loved ones. This has greatly reduced the feeling of loneliness and isolation that many people experience when they are apart from their social networks.Another benefit is the ease with which information can be shared. News, updates, and personal stories can be spread quickly and efficiently, reaching a wide audience in a matter of seconds. This has had a significant impact on the way we consume news and stay informed about the world around us.However, there are also some negative consequences of social media use. One major issue is the potential for cyberbullying. With the anonymity that many online platforms offer, individuals can hide behind their screens and harass or bully others without consequence. This can have devastating effects on the mental health of the victims.Additionally, social media can be a source of distraction and time-wasting. Many people find themselves spending hours scrolling through their feeds, only to feel more anxious and dissatisfied with their lives. This can lead to decreased productivity and a decline in real-world social interactions.Despite these drawbacks, the benefits of social media are undeniable. It has the potential to bring people together, foster community, and make the world a smaller, more connected place.Questions:1、What is the main advantage of social media mentioned in the passage?A. It helps people stay connected with friends and family.B. It makes news and updates spread quickly.C. It allows for anonymity and privacy.D.

The study of stars, planets, and galaxies has led to countless discoveries and has deepened our understanding of the cosmos. One of the most intriguing celestial bodies is the black hole, a region in space where gravity is so strong that not even light can escape. In this section, we will explore the fascinating world of black holes and the mysteries they hold.Black holes are formed when massive stars collapse under the force of gravity.

They were killed as tornadoes (龙卷风)blew through their small town of Carbon Hill in Alabama, US, between November 8---10.Her sister and niece died when a tornado lifted their small mobile house into the air and threw it upon a tree. Now all that is left is the bent metal frame, which was wrapped (包裹) around the tree. ―Everybody’s house is just gone. My son doesn’t even know where his house is,‖ Wakefield said through tears. ―It is gone .

It was a time filled with laughter and joy.One day, my father decided to build a greenhouse in the garden. He believed that having a greenhouse would allow us to grow more plants throughout the year. With the help of my mother and me, he started to build it. It took us several days, but finally, the greenhouse was ready.The greenhouse was a great success. We were able to grow plants even in winter. It was amazing to see the flowers blooming and the vegetables growing in the cold season. However, we soon realized that the greenhouse needed constant care. The plants had to be watered regularly, and we had to clean the greenhouse to prevent pests and diseases.One day, I noticed that some of the plants in the greenhouse were not doing well. They were wilting and losing their leaves. I was worried and asked my father what was wrong. He checked the plants and explained that they were suffering from a lack of sunlight. The thick glass of the greenhouse blocked most of the sunlight from reaching the plants.To solve the problem, my father built a small window on the side of the greenhouse. The window allowed sunlight to enter the greenhouse, and the plants started to thrive again. From that day on, we made sure to keep the window open during the day to provide the plants with enough light.The greenhouse not only extended our growing season, but it also brought us closer as a family. We learned the importance of teamwork and hard work. Itwas a wonderful experience that I will always remember.Complete the following passage by choosing the most appropriate word or phrase from the options given below.I was worried and asked my father what was wrong.

泉州市2007-2008学年度高二上学期期末跟踪考试语文（考试时间：150分钟；满分：150分）一、（28分）（一）（10分）阅读下面的文字，完成1-3题。

感人是一门学问刘一兵大家知道，语言是需要翻译的，而语言又常常是不可翻译的。

语言最大的局限不是地域性的差异，而是它面对人类感觉和情绪情感时的那种无能。

对于千差万别和千奇百怪的精神状态，人类其实是有共同语言的，那就是表情、手势和动作反应。

这些表情、手势和动作反应是任何国家、任何民族的人都相差不多的。

应该看到，人类真正沟通的本质语言其实并非那些文字。

文字所以在沟通中起着重要的作用完全是建立在人类共同的情感语言之上。

从某种意义上说来，文学不能替代电影，在于电影更多的时候是直接影响着人们的情感，电影艺术中有很多妙不可言的东西。

那种心灵感受是语言所无能为力的。

就算是用自己体验过的情感幻化作一个创造出的理想世界，然后用文字努力地形容出那个世界来，导演通过对文字的想象来感受编剧所要表达的情感，然后将其拍摄成银幕世界。

观众看到银幕世界便感染着银幕世界传达出的导演寄予的情感体验。

如果那个情感体验是导演准确地从编剧那里传递过来的，那这个工程便可以算是成功了的。

由此看来，对于编剧来说，能不能提供个性化的情感体验和个性化的情感表达方式，便是一部影片是否能够成功的首要事情了。

可惜的是，这两点往往是十分难以做到的。

原因固然很多，基本的却只有三点：一、感情记忆经常是不准确的。

例如你回忆起儿时的一件伤心往事的时候由于时过境迁，常常就变了味道，再把它搬演到银幕上便很难准确了。

二、你在情感表达的时候凭借的不是直觉，而是理性判断。
