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 the 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 the16th 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(史前器物) 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 Yale 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 ancientcities 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.21. Why did people hide in the White City in the 16th century?A. To survive the warB. To search for a lost city.C. To protect their country.D. To avoid dangerous animals22. Which of the following was related to a royal family member?A. The White CityB. Canopus and HeracleionC. Machu PicchuD. Troy23. What can we learn about Troy?A. It was built by Homer.B. It consisted of nine citiesC. It had a history of 5,000 yearsD. It was ruined by a natural disaster.BMy motivation for starting our family tradition of reading in the car was purely selfish: I could not bear listening to A Sesame Street Christmas for another 10 hours. My three children had been addicted to this cassette on our previous summers road tripAs I began to prepare for our next 500-mile car trip,I came across a book-Jim Trelease's The Read Aloud Handbook. This could be the answer to my problem. I thought. So I put Roald dahl's James and the Giant Peach into my bag. When I began to read aloud the tale of the boy who escapes the bad guys by hiding inside a giant peach, my three kids argued and wrestled in their seats. But after several lines, they were attracted into the rhythm of the words and began to listenWe soon learned that the simple pleasure of listening to a well-written book makes the long miles pass more quickly. Sometimes the books we read became highlights of the trip. I read Wilson Rawls's Summer of the Monkeys as we spent two days driving to the beach. We arrived just behind the power crews restoring(恢复) electricity after a tropical storm. The rain continued most of the week, and the beach was covered with oil washed up by the storm. When we returned home, I asked my son what he liked about the trip. He answered without hesitation, "The book you read in the car.Road trips still offer challenges, even though my children now are teenagers. But we continue to read as we roll across the country. And I'm beginning to see that reading aloud has done more than help pass the time. For at least a little while, we are not shut in our ownelectronic worlds. And maybe we've started something that will pass on to the next generation.24. Why did the author start reading in the car?A. She wanted to have a better journey.B. She wanted to keep a family traditionC. Her children were addicted to reading.D. Her children were tired of the cassette25. How did the children react after the author read a few lines?A. They kept fightingB. They hid themselvesC. They soon settled downD. They read together aloud26. What can we learn about the author and her family's trip to the beach?A. They were caught in a stormB. They enjoyed reading on the roadC. They had a good time on the beachD. They thought it had passed too quickly.27. Which can be the best title for the text?A. Better Traveling than ReadingB. Books that Changed My ChildrenC. Road Trips Full of ChallengesD. Reading Makes Great Road TripsCThe arm bones of women who lived 7,000 years ago show a surprising level of strength-even higher than today's professional athletes. that's according to a first-ever study comparing prehistoric(史前的) bones to those of living people. The finding suggests a revision of history- the everyday lives of prehistoric women were filled with hard labor, rather than just sitting at home doing lighter tasks while the men struggled and fought for life.Before the study, there are no clear records describing how our ancient ancestors lived. It can be easy to forget that bone is a living tissue, one that responds to the difficulties we put our bodies through, "said lead author Alison Macintosh. "Physical force and muscle activity both put pressure on the bone. The bone reacts by changing in shape, thickness and other aspects over time.Previous studies only compared female bones to contemporary male bones, the researchers said-and that's a problem, because the response of male bones to stress and change is much bigger than that of women. For instance, as humans moved from a hunter-gatherer lifestyle constantly on the move to a more settled agrarian(农耕的) one, changes can be observed in the structure of the shinbone(胫骨)- and these changes were much more evident in men.However, a comparison of the bones of prehistoric women to the bones of living female athletes can help us work out a more accurate picture of what those prehistoric women were doing. "By analyzing the bones of living people and comparing them to the ancient bones, we can start to explain the kinds of labor our ancestors were reforming, Macintosh said. What they found was that women's leg strength hasn’t changed a great deal, but their arms used to be very powerful. Prehistoric women, the researchers found, had arm strength 11-16 percent stronger than those of modern rowers, and 30 percent stronger than those of non-athletes.28. What does the study tell about prehistoric women?A. They were stronger than menB. They had lighter bones than menC. They did tough tasks as the menD. They spent most time staying at home29. What problem did previous studies on prehistoric bones have?A. They lacked enough comparison.B. They only studied men’s bonesC. They focused little on bones.D. They ignored the lifestyles30. What does the underlined word"that'"in Paragraph 3 refer to?A. Bones structure.B. Bones’ thicknessC. Bones response to stress.D. Bones, stress from hard labor.31. What can we learn from the last paragraph?A. It's still hard to explain our ancestors' lifestyleB. Prehistoric women went through much suffering.C. Women's arms have become much stronger over timeD. Prehistoric women are stronger than contemporary femalesDA few years ago, Darla Hoff painted a pumpkin face onto a round straw bale(捆) at Al and Karen Goldman's farm in Idaho Falls to advertise her u-pick pumpkin field While Darla has stopped growing pumpkins, the annual tradition of straw bale art lives on at the farm and has drawn friends and neighbors to participate in it. Past creations have included an owl, Minions, tractors and a teddy bear.To make the tractors, Al baled round straw bales in two different sizes- smaller ones for the tractor's front tires and larger ones for the rear(尾部). Large square bales made up the bodies. Jerry Kienlen used his farming equipment to arrange the bales in the shape of two tractors. Then it was time to bring the tractors to life. Karen and her daughter, Lana Hedrick, secured some green paint, and Al got some red paint. Darla's husband, James, sprayed thecreation with a paint gun. For the finishing touches Steven donated two shiny exhaust stacks(排气管), and Al and Karen donated two steering wheels from their farm parts.The farm's annual straw bale art projects have now become a way for everyone to celebrate the end of another growing season. it's just something fun to do together after harvest. This neighborhood has always been close. Generations of these families have grown crops in this soil. Raised on the farms where they live now, they grew up together as their elders did before. Al and Karen are truly super neighbors. Every year they also grow about two acres of corn to give away. Anyone can pick some, or Aland Karen will even deliver. And during long Idaho winters, everyone gathers at the farm to enjoy fresh coffee and cookies.This year's straw bale creation theme is Straw Wars. And all eyes will be on Al and Karen's farm as their creation takes shape.32. Why did Darla paint a pumpkin face onto a straw bale?A. To recycle straw balesB. To please his neighborsC. To create a new traditionD. To make an advertisement33. What does the underlined phrase"the creation"in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. The straw bale tiresB. The square straw bales.C. The straw bale tractorsD. The farming equipment34. What do local people think of the straw bale art show?A. It needs something funB. It's a good way to celebrate harvest.C.

It is generally agreed that a good student must be able to concentrate for a reasonable time on a written text, yet most students are given very little help to practice this skill. Almost all classroom reading is 1 into minutes of reading and therefore it is no wonder that a number of students have 2 in this field.If you have a problem with 3 ,you must first examine the conditions in which you work. Lighting can be a problem: too many readers put up with 4 lighting conditions. If this is a problem, and you don’t have a reading lamp, try a strong bulb(灯泡), read near a window in day time and always avoid reading in your own shadow. 5 the light should come from overhead or over your shoulder. Reflective surfaces should be avoided. You should also 6 excessive contrast (过度对比) caused by using a reading lamp as the only 7 of lightas this will cause great tiredness and probably eye injury.A second reason for poor concentration is the 8 of motivation, that is, an absence of any 9 sense of purpose. If this is the cause, you will almost 10 be bored by the text. Be sure that you keep your 11 in mind during your reading so that you know you should also adopt some specific techniques—such as making notes from your reading—to aid your concentration.If you play the role of a 12 receiver of information, simply concentrating on absorbing everything you read, you will 13 that your mind is overloaded, confused by the material. Then you should take a more active approach. Enter into a 14 with the text, pausing to reflect on what you read, and 15 what you find.

AIf you are looking for something fun and educational to do in Maryland, why not visit the Maryland Science Center? It is located at 601 Light Street, Baltimore, MD 21230. The ticket prices vary depending on ages, groups and the exhibits you choose.IntroductionThe Maryland Science Center is basically a museum, but it gives everyone a chance to learn through experience and play, rather than just glance at an exhibit.ActivitiesYou can learn about various topics, including outer space, the human body, dinosaurs, electricity, marine（海洋的）b iology, energy, and much more. You can also take part in the interactive activities, such as racing bubbles, digging for dinosaur fossils, using puzzle pieces to construct cars, and so much more.The Davis Planetarium（天文馆）At the Davis Planetarium, you can lie back in a chair and look at the stars while still inside the Science Center.

They will be able to play in a water area, construct dams and water towers, push buttons, ring doorbells, build with blocks, and more, and definitely they will learn a lot. In addition, there is also an area for kids of two years old and under, where they can crawl, walk and explore safely with soft toys.1.What do we know about the Maryland Science Center?A.It charges different prices for parents and children.B.It is regarded as the most popular museum in Maryland.C.It is a museum where there are many famous exhibitions.D.It is mainly designed for children and their families to play together.2.Which activity is not available in the Maryland Science Center?A.Taking part in bubble competitions.B.Learning the structure of the human body.C.Watching famous science fiction films.D.Gaining knowledge of marine creatures.3.If you want to know why the sun shines, which show should you choose?A. Dark Matters.B. Live from the Sun.C. One World One Sky.D.

A science journal.C. A marketing report.D. A travel brochure（小册子）.BEvery May it happens. I drop to my knees just outside the back door, raise my arms to the sky and shout, “That’s it! I give up! Take my flower beds, you killer weeds! Blackberry vines（藤蔓）, this land is yours! Vines, climb up and kill my trees one by one! I’m done!”Then I get up, lie down on the swing, and close my eyes. I’m sure I can hear the weeds growing and the vines creeping in（悄悄爬进）. I swear they are all laughing at me, too. They don’t even have the manners to wait until I leave there.There is no denying that gardens are battle zones in the spring. I blame it on those April and May rains. Once the heat moves in, I can control what gets watered and survives, but those early showers even out（平均分配）the battlefield.Garden tools alone make it clear that gardening isn’t an easy thing. My old cart seems to have the personality of a tank, and I’m pretty sure my spade is second cousin to a dagger.By late June, both sides are worn down. I’ve given some of the yard over to the weeds — you just can’t win them all. That’s a battle for next year. There is no clear victory for me, but I’ve stood my ground for yet another season.6.What is the best title of the passage?A.A victory over weedsB. My love for the yardC.A battle against weedsD. The skills of gardening7.What does the underlined “it” in Paragraph 1 most probably refer to?A.That heat moves in and evens out the battlefield.B.That vines creep in and kill all the trees one by one.C.That weeds take whole possession of the flower beds.D.That the author gets exhausted from fighting against weeds.8.What can we know from Paragraph 3?A.Spring is the best time to kill weeds.B.Spring’s heat helps weeds to win the battle.C.The rain makes it hard for the author to win her battle.D.The spring rain makes the plants to suffer too much.9.Why does the author compare her garden tools to weapons?A.To show the power of the tools.B.To stress the difficulty of gardening.C.To describe the shapes of the tools.D.To provide ways of gardening.10.What can we learn according to the passage?A.The author is exhausted by the battle and has finally given up.B.The author has decided to battle with the weeds next year.C.The author enjoys the battle with the weeds and expect another fight.D.The author does not want to kill all the weeds since they are also helpful.CEvery one can try his best to achieve. We don’t need to be the best, but to tough out the limits of what we are capable of. I gained this belief from my third grade teacher, the most special, honored, trustworthy, and loved person in my life.Mr. Myrus was always perfectly dressed and spoke with the belief that talking to eight-year-olds didn’t mean he had to sacrifice proper statements or grammars. And he was demanding but he wasn’t unreasonable or cruel. He simply felt that no matter what your best was, you should achieve it.As luck would have it, I met him again as my eighth grade math teacher. I was not, nor ever will be, gifted in math. I remember my struggles in class. “I don’t know the answer,” I would say, “I can’t do it!”“Perhaps you don’t know the answer,” he would say quietly. “Do you think we might figure it out together? How do you know what you can do until you try?”Mr. Myrus lived around the corner, and I would often stop by to talk while he worked in his garden.I knew there was someone who let me know that if I had really tried, that was enough.“Don’t be so hard on yourself,”he’d say. “Stop blaming yourself. Did you try your best? Well, then you’re not a failure,” he often told me these words.Mr. Myrus died in 1978. I had never thought about his death. He was too young. I felt sorry. But when I think about him now, I don’t feel so sorry. He taught me to be kind, not only to others, but to myself. He taught me my own value. He taught me about honor, about truth, and about doing my best — and that all feelings and beliefs have dignity and deserve respect. And of all the things I know, this I believe: We can’t all be “the best”, but we can, each of us, be our best, and I know that’s true because Mr. Myrus told me that.11.What can we learn about Mr. Myrus according to the passage?A.He is usually hard on the students.B.He is responsible for his students and his teaching.C.He is a person who isn’t particular about what he wears.D.He sometimes is cruel and unreasonable to his students.12.What does the underlined word “demanding” in Paragraph 2 most probably mean?A.Strict.B. Serious.C. Critical.D. Careful.13.Why did the author think he was a lucky dog?A.He had got a great belief from his teacher.B.Mr. Myrus had been his teacher for eight years.C.He became interested in math because of Mr. Myrus.D.He developed a good relationship with Mr. Myrus.14.What can be inferred from Paragraph 3?A.Mr. Myrus thought it very easy to learn math.B.The author preferred other subjects to math.C.The author was ashamed to admit his poor math.D.Mr. Myrus helped the author build up his confidence.15.What can we conclude by reading the passage?A.The author may have become a teacher.B.The author liked to recall his childhood.C.The author believed he would be the best of all.D.The author ended up being a man of self-confidence.DIn an unmanned supermarket, a customer waits to pay. With the use of advanced digital payment technology, including biological recognition and in-depth learning, the man leaves in a minute. There’s no cashier in the store. At a large university, students use a hand-scanning machine that authorizes their entry into the gym. Those people are using “smart machines”which identify people by their physical characteristics. These new devices use fingers, hands, faces, eyes and voices. Some machines may even use smells. This new technology, called biometrics, gets information from parts of the body.In the past, biometric machines were used mainly in government agencies or in prisons. But now that the cost of the technology is lower, these machines are starting to be used everywhere, from border services to schools.Some people, however, are concerned that these machines will mean the destruction of personal privacy. They worry that the machines will get personal information about them. “I know it seems like these machines are invading our privacy, but actually, biometric machines help to protect it,” says Jay Tarkett, who works at a company that develops the machines. “They can be used instead of passwords on a computer, for example. They can also identify criminals at airports. So, really, they help to promote public safety, and all the information stored is kept confidential by the machine itself.”Some people don’t like the idea of using fingerprints because they associate them with criminals, and feel like they are being accused of something. In addition, they don’t work for some people, such as bricklayers, who wear down their fingerprints. Yet, face recognition does work well because the subject doesn’t really have to do anything. To cash a check at a bank, for example, the customer has to do nothing more than look at a machine similar to an automatic teller. If the face matches the picture kepton file, the customer gets the money with no problems. The need to carry identification with you from place to place, then, would all but cease.It has been found that the hand scan works well in the college gym. Before this machine was used, students at the college entered the gym using cards similar to credit cards. The problem was that students often lost or forgot their cards. With the hand-scanning machine, however, the problem was solved right away.But the machines are still new, and there can be problems. For example, voice recognition works on the phone, but it is not precise, and can be tricked. Another constraint （限制）we notice, with machines that use face recognition in particular, is that they can be fooled if people color their hair or gain a lot of weight. However, this particular problem may be solved by a new type of technology that scans a person’s iris, the colored part of the eye. It can even identify the person from a few feet away, recognizing a customer as he or she approaches the ATM.16.What’s the author’s intention by presenting two examples in Paragraph 1?A.To stress how smart machines work.B.To bring in the topic of the passage.C.To show the popularity of smart machines.D.To introduce the convenience smart machines offer.17.Why don’t people like using finger-prints while using the machine?A.They want to keep their mistakes a secret.B.They don’t want to damage their fingers.C.They are afraid of losing money in the bank.D.They are afraid of being thought of as criminals.18.Why are biometric machines starting to be used in many fields?A.They are not as expensive as they were.B.They no longer invade people’s privacy.C.People enjoy face and voice recognition.D.Criminals are often hidden at airports.19.What is the author’s attitude towards the new technology?A.Worried.B. Bitter.C. Optimistic.D. Satisfied.20.What is the passage mainly about?A.An introduction to biometric machines.B.An advertisement for biometric machines.C.A brief description of hand scanning machines.D.An analysis of biometric machines’ value in economy.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。

With the use of advanced digital payment technology, including biological recognition and in-depth learning, the man leaves in a minute. There’s no cashier in the store. At a large university, students use a hand-scanning machine that authorizes their entry into the gym. Those people are using “smart machines”which identify people by their physical characteristics. Thesenew devices use fingers, hands, faces, eyes and voices. Some machines may even use smells. This new technology, called biometrics, gets information from parts of the body.In the past, biometric machines were used mainly in government agencies or in prisons. But now that the cost of the technology is lower, these machines are starting to be used everywhere, from border services to schools.Some people, however, are concerned that these machines will mean the destruction of personal privacy. They worry that the machines will get personal information about them. “I know it seems like these machines are invading our privacy, but actually, biometric machines help to protect it,” says Jay Tarkett, who works at a company that develops the machines. “They can be used instead of passwords on a computer, for example. They can also identify criminals at airports. So, really, they help to promote public safety, and all the information stored is kept confidential by the machine itself.”Some people don’t like the idea of using fingerprints because they associate them with criminals, and feel like they are being accused of something. In addition, they don’t work for some people, such as bricklayers, who wear down their fingerprints. Yet, face recognition does work well because the subject doesn’t really have to do anything. To cash a check at a bank, for example, the customer has to do nothing more than look at a machine similar to an automatic teller. If the face matches the picture kept on file, the customer gets the money with no problems. The need to carry identification with you from place to place, then, would all but cease.It has been found that the hand scan works well in the college gym. Before this machine was used, students at the college entered the gym using cards similar to credit cards. The problem was that students often lost or forgot their cards. With the hand-scanning machine, however, the problem was solved right away.But the machines are still new, and there can be problems. For example,voice recognition works on the phone, but it is not precise, and can be tricked. Another constraint （限制）we notice, with machines that use face recognition in particular, is that they can be fooled if people color their hair or gain a lot of weight. However, this particular problem may be solved by a new type of technology that scans a person’s iris, the colored part of the eye. It can even identify the person from a few feet away, recognizing a customer as he or she approaches the ATM.16.What’s the author’s intention by presenting two examples in Paragraph 1?A.To stress how smart machines work.B.To bring in the topic of the passage.C.To show the popularity of smart machines.D.To introduce the convenience smart machines offer.17.Why don’t people like using finger-prints while using the machine?A.They want to keep their mistakes a secret.B.They don’t want to damage their fingers.C.They are afraid of losing money in the bank.D.They are afraid of being thought of as criminals.18.Why are biometric machines starting to be used in many fields?A.They are not as expensive as they were.B.They no longer invade people’s privacy.C.People enjoy face and voice recognition.D.Criminals are often hidden at airports.19.What is the author’s attitude towards the new technology?A.Worried.B.
