Buried with him were the tools of a hunter or warrior. There was a bone pin that may have been from a piece of clothing such as a leather coat. He carried a copper knife on his breast. The most amazing find was two gold earrings. That would have made him a man of distinction. Only a few centimeters from his head were two pots made of clay, tools and materials to make arrows, a bow and a dozen arrows for hunting and a second, smaller copper knife. Next to them lay a cushion stone, upon which the man could work metal.His grave is the richest of any found from that period, because this man was buried with two gold earrings which are the oldest gold ever found in Britain (dated to 2470 BC). Besides, he was buried three miles from Stonehenge. Archaeologists tend to believe he was a member of a powerful class who might have organized the construction of Stonehenge.Stonehenge was begun around 3000 BC. In about 2300 BC the huge stone circles were built. The biggest stone weighed approximately 20 tons. But the smaller blue stones, still weighing 4 tons on average, came from west Wales. It is not yet known how these were conveyed over a distance of 380 km. It is also a mystery how early man was able to construct Stonehenge without the use of modern construction machines and lorries. He is an example of people who brought culture and new techniques from the European mainland to Britain. In terms of technical development people were going from the Stone Age to the Bronze Age and then to the Iron Age.36. Which are not included in the things that are found in the grave of a man'?A. Tools, a bone pin, a bow and a cushion stoneB. A copper knife and two gold earrings.C. Two pots, arrows and materials to make arrows.D. some chicken and grains.37. The man buried in the grave might be ______ at that time.A. A poor manB. a kind-hearted manC. a rich manD. an ordinary man38. Why is the man buried in the grave called the "king of Stonehenge" ?A. He was buried three miles from Stonehenge.B. He had the oldest gold ever found in Britain.C. He might be a member of a powerful class who might have organized the construction of Stonehenge.D. All of the above.39. What does the third paragraph mainly talk about?A. How Stonehenge was built.B. Building Stonehenge was hard.C. Stonehenge was made of big stones.D. It is a mystery how Stonehenge was built.40. We can infer that _______ .A. how Stonehenge was builtB. the King of Stonehenge was from FranceC. Stonehenge was built through several agesD. Stonehenge was built because of warBTHREATS TOOUR NATIONAL TREASURESJ: journalist X: Prof XuJ: People have always had interests in the past. Professor Xu, what are the most important dangers to our archaeological treasures?X: They get damaged or lost. It's a matter of education. People fail to take the right steps when something is found. Fortunately, the government has helped spreading the basic knowledge among the population, telling what is to be done when an archaeological find is made.J: What does that knowledge consist of ?X: Well, when something is found, construction work must be stopped and the police should be told about the find. That is to make sure that no further damage will be done.J: Does it still happen that people do not report things they find?X: Yes, indeed. They doubt whether it is necessary to do so. It sometimes happens that a find is not very valuable. They are afraid that they would make scientists come for nothing.J: Are there other reasons why people don't report their finds?X: Oh, yes. People are afraid that archaeologists may take a real interest in the site and spend many weeks or months digging around at it. That would result in farmers missing the right opportunity to plant crops or construction work to be stopped for a long time. They don't realize that they should not weigh their own businessinterests against our national history.J: If it is so important to dig things up and collect them, then why are archaeologists worried that other people dig up artifacts and give them to museums or add them to their own private archaeological collections?X: Archaeology is a professional discipline. Years of training and experience are needed. It is not just about finding things and digging them up. The field work must be done very carefully. Of every find there needs to be a written record, to which a photograph must be added. The records must also state exactly what was found, where it was found and when. The outdoor work is followed by work in the lab, cleaning, restoring and identifying each artifact. Finally, when all is done, an analysis must be written and published in a magazine or a book.J: Are there any other dangers, natural disasters perhaps?X: Unfortunately there are treasure hunters: people search for valuable objects, especially jewellery and gold. They are the worst. History does not need to fear nature very much. What has been buried has often been buried well. It is often human digging that causes the loss of valuable materials. It may seem a contradiction, but leaving things as they are would often be the best way of keeping things for the generations to come.41. The interview is probably a conversation betweenA. Mr Xu and his wifeB. a student and a teacherC. a teacher and a newspaper reporterD. a professor and a farmer42. According to Professor Xu, there are ______ why people do not report finds.A. no reasonsB. certain threatsC. few dangersD. several reasons43. The reason why some people do not inform the police about archaeological finds is that ______ .A. they are afraid of the policeB. the government has failed to inform the publicC. they think working archaeologists will cause troubleD. they don't have the years of training and experience that are needed44. For most artifacts ______ can quite easily see whether they are valuable or not.A. farmersB. the policeC. construction workersD. local experts45. In the opinion of Professor Xu, the greatest danger to our archaeological treasures are ______ .A. natural disastersB. farmers and construction workersC. scientistsD. treasure huntersC篇章结构A mental health researcher who has studied depressed mothers in Pakistan plans an effort next year to help them. Doctor Atif Rahman is in the Department of Child Psychiatry (精神病治疗法) at Royal Manchester Children's Hospital in England. Doctor Rahman led a team that linked depression (沮丧；消沉) in women with lowerweight in their babies during the first year of life. 46The study identified one hundred and sixty of the women, or one in four, as depressed. They had lost interest and pleasure in normal life. They always felt sad or tired. They had problems eating or sleeping. They felt guilty and thought about killing themselves.47 Re-examinations took place at two, six and twelve months of age. The health workers also re-examined the mental health of the mothers.Babies whose mothers remained depressed grew less than the babies of the other women. The babies of the depressed mothers were also more likely to get sick with diarrhea (腹泻). The findings appeared in September in Archives of General Psychiatry(精神病学档案). 48 Other studies in South Asia have found that depression affects almost twice as many women in developing countries. Conditions in poor countries can make it more difficult to care for a baby. Doctor Rahman says depression can make it even more difficult for a mother to do things such as boil water to kill harmful organisms (微生物).49 These women visit new mothers for up to a year. The workers offer advice about things like health and cleanliness.50 The program will be tested for three years to see how well it succeeds.A. Now Doctor Rahman wants to add special support for depressed mothers. The idea is that the health worker will listen to the mother's problems and suggest some easy things at first that she can do for her baby.B. Earlier studies showed that ten to fifteen percent of pregnant women and new mothers in Western nations suffer from depression.C. For ten years, Pakistan has employed what are called "lady health .workers".D. The team studied six hundred and thirty-two women from small villages in Rawalpindi. The women were in good physical health and in the last three months of pregnancy.E. The researchers compared these women with one hundred and sixty others who were not depressed. Health workers then weighed and measured the babies of both groups at birth.F. The study showed that depression in women had nothing with lower weight in their babies.IV.

cold afternoon on May 6th，1954, when Bannister knew he had a 34 chance、Bannister had been 35 hard and was very fit， but the weather conditions werea real 36 to him、 Describring the 37 later, Bannister

without even realizing it、 It is not the amazing complexity of television, nor the impressive technology of transport 、 The universal wonder we share and experience is our ability to make noise without mouths， and so transmit ideas and thoughts to each other's minds、 This ability comes so naturally that we tend to forget what a miracle （奇迹) it is、Obviously， the ability to talk is something that marks humans off from animal、Of course, some animals have powers just as amazing, Birds can fly thousands miles by observing positions of the stars in the sky in relation to the time of day and year、 In Nature’s talent show, humans are a species of animal that have developed their own special act、 If we reduce it to basic terms， it's an ability for communicating information to others， by varying sounds we make as we breathe out、Not that we don’t have other powers of communication、 Our facial expressions convey our emotions, such as anger, or joy, or disappointment、 The way we hold our heads can indicate to others whether we are happy or sad、 This is so-called “body language”、 Bristling （直立的） fur is an unmistakable warning of attack among manyanimals、 Similarly， the bowed head or

While any death causes misery, the death of a president is extremely painful as it affects the lives of millions. After the killing of Abraham Lincoln, the country was in a state of social disorder. On April 14th, 1865, actor John Wilkes Booth gathered his group together. Before they parted, Booth reminded them of their missions for the night: former Confederate prisoner of war Lewis Powell was to kill Secretary of State William Seward, George Azterodt was to shoot Vice President Andrew Johnson, and David Herold was to help the actor in his getaway. And Booth was to murder Lincoln. Booth had learned of Lincoln’s upcoming visit to Ford’s Theater to watch Our American Cousin only days before and was eager to murder Lincoln. In the past, Booth had thought about killing Lincoln. Booth considered Lincoln’s trip to the theater as the perfect opportunity to carry out his plan. That night, Lincoln and his wife Mary arrived merrily at Ford’s Theate r and were seated in a top balcony. During a very noisy part of the play, Booth slipped into the president’s box and fired a gun into the back of Lincoln’s head. Moments later, Booth jumped onto the stage and shouted, “Sic Semper Tyrannis,” the Virginia st ate motto meaning “Thus ever to tyrants (暴君)!”At first, the crowd thought the unfolding drama to be part of the production. However, upon hearing Mary’s shocking screams, the audience realized they had witnessed a violent action. Although Booth broke his leg in the fall, he managed to leave the theater and escape from Washington on horseback. Soon, Charles Leale, a 23-year-old doctor found the president in his chair, struggling to breathe. A few soldiers carried Lincoln to a house此卷只装订不密封 班级姓名准考证号考场号座位号across the street and placed him on a bed. When the surgeon general arrived at the house, he concluded that Lincoln could not be saved and would die during the night.Many reasons motivated Booth to assassinate the president. Most importantly, Booth opposed nearly all of Lincoln’s political views; he blamed Lincoln for the collapse of the Confederacy (美国南部邦联的瓦解) and the emancipation (解放) of slaves.11.

But he did not know about brushes before a visitor told h im he needed one. In those days, a brush was made from camel’s hair. There were no camels nearby. Benjamin decided that cat hair would work instead. He cut some fur from the family cat to make a brush.The brush did not last long. Soon Benjamin needed more fur. Before long, the cat began to look ragged （蓬乱）. His father said that the cat must be sick. Benjamin was forced to admit what he had been doing.The cat’s lo ok was about to improve. That year, one of Benjamin’s cousins, Mr. Pennington, came to visit. He was impressed with Benj amin’s drawings. When he went home, he sent Benjamin a box of paint and some brushes. He also sent six engravings （版画）by an artist. These were the first pictures and first real paint and brushes Benjamin had ever seen. In 1747，when Benjamin was nine years old, Mr. Pennington returned for another visit .He was amazed at what Benjamin had done with his gift.He asked Benjamin’s parents if he might take the boy to Philadelphia for a visit.In the city, Mr. Pennington gave Benjamin materials for creating oil paintings. The boy began a landscape (风景) painting. Wiliams, a well-known painter, came to see him work. Wiliams was impressed with Benjamin and gave him two classic books on painting to take home .The books were long and dull. Benjamin could read only a little, having been a poor student. But he later said, “Those two books were my companions by day, and under my pillow at night.” While it is likely that he understood very little of the books, they were his introduction to classical paintings. The nine-year-old boy decided then that he would be an artist.15. What is the text mainly about?A. Benjamin’s visit to Philadelphia.B. Williams’ influence on Benjamin.C.
