20．Valcamonica has one of the largest collections of rock drawings in the world．There have been about 200，000figures and symbols carved into the rocks over a time period of approximately 8，000years，Valcamonica's pictures show various scenes and are connected through common themes like magic，war，navigation and agriculture．
The rock drawings discovered in Valcamonica were the first prehistoric symbols of their kind recognized anywhere in the world．UNESCO first recognized the drawings in 1979when about 140，000were discovered，however，since then many more have been uncovered．
These drawings are spread all across the valley．The carvings began to taper off during the Iron Age and fewer appeared after that．The last period had been attributed to （歸功于…） the Camunni people．Still there are drawings that have been identified as being from the 19th century．Many of these were created using the technique of engraving （雕刻）．
Some of the figures discovered in Valcamonica have been superimposed （疊�。� withouit any order，but in most cases they appear in logical orders and also explain the relationship between each picture or symbol to tell a story．
The first known modern report of the rock carvings was in 1909 when Walther Laeng happened upon two decorated rocks in Capo di Ponte．Scholars only took interest in the drawings in the 1920s．More rocks with engravings were soon found in the areas nearby and research into their history began．In the 1930s comprehensive study campaigns were undertaken．
It was after the Second World War that the cataloging and mapping of the engravings began．This task was taken up by various teams of experts from Italy and other countries that were led by Laeng．In 1955preservation work on the rocks began．
In 1968，a large series of conferences were held where scholars from all over the world met to discuss the rock drawings，which give us some idea of what various societies of the past might have been like．
32．What do we know about Valcamonica's pictures？B
A．They tell a long whole story．
B．They are interrelated in some ways．
C．They were carved 8，000years ago．
D．They were first discovered in 1979．
33．The underlined"taper off"in Paragraph 3can best be replaced by"C"．
A．turn up．
B．go up
C．die out
D．stand out
34．What is Paragraph 5mainly about？C

B．The features of the rock drawings．
C．The discovery of the rock drawings．
D．The formation of the rock drawings．

7．There are many differences between America and China．The biggest difference is traffic rules．In America there are too much more cars than in China．But there are much fewer traffic jams and accidents in America than in China．We hardly see traffic police in the street，but all cars obey strictly traffic rules，and people hardly find that a car does not obey traffic rules in the street．
About American traffic rules，there are many better terms，such as：
1．Stop line：There are stop lines in all crossing without traffic light （some have two stop lines and others have four stop lines）．All cars must stop while meeting the stop line．
2．Traffic light：There is traffic light in the crossing of the road．Cars may almost turn every direction．The traffic light can give signal step by step including uturn．There is a kind of middle lane of turning left．When a car wants to turn left in the road，he may enter into the middle lane of turning left and give a signal of turning left．When he thinks being safe，he may turn left．In many conditions the order of passing is also given very specifically．If people want to change lane or turn，they must look behind and think being safe．Only so，they may do it．
3．Specific item：Such as parking，there are three kinds of lines （their colors are white，blue or red） in the roadside．Every line may park different kinds of car．There are many streets in some residential areas，and there is a kind of rule that any car cannot park at any time or any period time．In every parking，there are some special positions for invalid people．
4．About the priority of passenger and car：At any case，passenger has the priority to car．And only after passenger have passed the road and gotten the top of sidestep，car may go ahead．
In general，traffic rules of America are very specific，convenient，safe and humanizing．
51．Which of the following is NOT the reason why we can hardly see traffic police in the street in American？C
A．Traffic police are not very necessary because few cars break traffic rules．
B．The traffic is very clear and there are few traffic jams and accidents in the street．
C．There are so many cars in the street that the traffic police can't be seen．
D．The effective traffic rules play an important part in the road safety．
52．Why is there middle lane of turning left on the road？A
A．It is designed for the cars that want to turn left．
B．It is very safe to drive there．
C．It is very convenient for the traffic police to find the cars that break the rules．
D．The cars that want to turn left can easily give a signal of turning left．
53．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage？A
A．There are more traffic jams in China．
B．In America，all cars in the crossing must stop when they meet the stop line．
C．In America，any car cannot park in the streets in some residential areas．
D．If people want to turn，they can obey the guide of the traffic police．
54．What's the meaning of the underlined word in the fourth paragraph？B
A．A traffic rule      
B．An established right
C．An order          
D．A duty
55．What's the biggest difference between America and China？B

2．Picking a university is a tense period of asking yourself which institution is most relevant．That's why university rankings play such a vital role in students searching for their next academic direction．Rankings are also an inescapable part of the reputation and brand image of universities．"No university website is complete without the claim to be in the top 100 for something or other，"reported the BBC．The reason is simple：Rankings help them to attract students，staff and research investment．
 Currently there are numbers of university rankings，and each has its own list of standards．But the main standards are the same：academic reputation，graduates'performance and faculty（教師） resources．
However，experts point out the ranking process isn't entirely reliable．Mark Kantrowitz，a US financial aid researcher，said university rankings were mostly just for show．He wrote in The New York Times．"It may give your parents better bragging（炫耀） rights，but that's about it．"
 Moreover，it's not difficult to see the limitations of university rankings．Many rankings focus on the number of times research work is cited （引用） by other researchers．It helps British and US universities to dominate （支配） global rankings because English is the favored language of academia，John O'Leary，a member of the QS academic advisory board，told The Guardian．
Also，rankings such as QS mainly focus on the qualities of the university rather than its students．"Any university ranking is likely to help students make better decisions about where to study，but the need to balance them with other more human factors is also important，"said Phil Moss，an education and admissions consultant．"Advice from graduates or current students can be as valuable in providing a genuine insight（洞察） into the experience or quality of a particular degree program．It can also add an element that rankings can never convey---the actual emotion of a university experience．"
25．Why do universities consider rankings important？A 
A．Rankings make them more appealing．
B．Rankings are students'only reference．
C．Rankings can increase their academic level．
D．Rankings help them complete their websites．
26．What does the underlined"It"in paragraph 4 refer to？C
A．Academic research work．
B．The number of researches．
C．The way of ranking universities．
D．The limitation of university ranking．
27．According to John O'Leary，what helps British and US universities rank well？
A
A．The wide use of English in academia．
B．Their outstanding qualities．
C．Their graduates'excellent performance．
D．The academia's favor to them．
28．Besides ranking，what does Phi l Moss suggest you should refer to if you're picking a university？D
A．Investment in education．
B．Guidance from professors．
C．Information on websites．
D．Suggestions from students．
