8.What historical site impresses you the most?I've always been fascinated by the pyramids in Egypt.A few years ago I braved a long queue and climbed through a narrow passage to reach the main chamber deep inside one of them.Like millions of other tourists I marvelled at stoned-walled rooms full of the magic of this ancient civilisation.
But popularity might be the collapse (崩潰) of such archaeological treasures.
Take Tutankhamun's tomb in the Valley of the Kings,for example.It lay untouched for more than 3,000years until the British archaeologist Howard Carter uncovered it in 1922.Now more than 1,000people a day walk through it.
But as more and more people visit,the temperature and humidity (濕度) inside the tomb change.As a result,the beautifully decorated plaster (膠泥) is coming away from the rock.
In order to preserve its heritage,a replica of the monument is being opened about one km away from the actual burial site.Specialists have recorded every detail of Tutankhamun's tomb and used the data to recreate it.
Adam Lowe from the organisation behind the project,F(xiàn)actum Arte,says the copy is identical to the original.He believes visitors will want to"become part of the force that protects it rather than a force that is leading to its destruction",so won't mind seeing a replica.
But for historian Tom Holland,a copy is still a copy.He believes that although preservation is important,there is something unique about places like Tutankhamun's tomb.
He says it was built"by people who believed in the world of the spirits,the dead and the supernatural.You don't have to believe in a god or gods to feel a place is consecrated and has a particular quality that can't be reproduced."
What about you:would you visit a replica of a monument rather than the original to help preserve it?

51.The author mentions Tutankhamen's tomb to showD.
A.its marvelous ancient civilization
B.its popularity among tourists
C.its inner beautiful decoration
D.its damage caused by human activities
52.The underlined word"replica"(in Paragraph 5)means"B".

分析 本文是一篇記敘文.主要介紹了旅游業(yè)給歷史古跡帶來的破壞,以埃及國王圖坦卡蒙的墓為例,自從英國考古學(xué)家霍華德•卡特發(fā)現(xiàn)開探該墓后,更多的游客參觀導(dǎo)致溫度和濕度變化使得內(nèi)部裝飾已剝離.為了保護(hù)文化遺產(chǎn),采用古跡復(fù)制品取而代之迎接游客以減輕古跡壓力的辦法.

解答 51-54   DBBB
51.D     細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第三段中的"But as more and more people visit,the temperature and humidity (濕度) inside the tomb change.As a result,the beautifully decorated plaster (膠泥) is coming away from the rock"可知,隨著越來越多游客的參觀,給歷史古跡造成了破壞,因此D項符合語境,故選D.
52.B     詞意猜測題.根據(jù)第四段中的"In order to preserve its heritage,a replica of the monument is being opened about one km away from the actual burial site.Specialists have recorded every detail of Tutankhamun's tomb and used the data to recreate it"可知,為了保護(hù)歷史遺跡,在實(shí)際墓地1公里外,一個相似的墳?zāi)沟膹?fù)制品對游客開放,專家們進(jìn)行再創(chuàng)造,極力保持原有墳?zāi)沟奶卣,即被?fù)制的墳?zāi)梗蔬xB.
53.B    推理判斷題.根據(jù)第六段中"He says it was built"by people who believed in the world of the spirits,the dead and the supernatural.You don't have to believe in a god or gods to feel a place is consecrated and has a particular quality that can't be reproduced."可知,歷史學(xué)家"Tom Holland"認(rèn)為,這些歷史遺址(墳?zāi)梗┦巧袷サ模踔劣行┦浅匀坏,有它自身的特質(zhì)和積淀,這些東西是無法再生的,故選B.
54.B    推理判斷題.根據(jù)第六段中"You don't have to believe in a god or gods to feel a place is consecrated and has a particular quality that can't be reproduced"和第七段中"What about you:would you visit a replica of a monument rather than the original to help preserve it?"可知,歷史古遺址的特質(zhì)有些是無法復(fù)制的,作者最后提出疑問:你們是想要參觀古跡復(fù)制品還是原始的古跡呢?,由此可判斷,作者對此‘采用古跡復(fù)制品取而代之迎接游客以減輕古跡壓力的辦法'是持懷疑態(tài)度的,故選B.

點(diǎn)評 解答細(xì)節(jié)理解題時,一個常用的方法就是運(yùn)用定位法,即根據(jù)題干和選項中的關(guān)鍵詞從原文中找到相關(guān)的句子,與選項進(jìn)行比較從而確定答案;推理判斷題既要求學(xué)生透過文章表面文字信息推測文章隱含意思,又要求學(xué)生對作者的態(tài)度、意圖及文章細(xì)節(jié)的發(fā)展作正確的推理判斷,力求從作者的角度去考慮,不要固守自己的看法或觀點(diǎn).

16.It was the afternoon of December 24,the day before Christmas;and as the newest doctor in our office,I had to work.The only thingt brightened my tha day was the beautifully decorated Christmas tree in our waiting room and a gift sent to me by a fellow I was dating-a dozen long-stemmed red roses.
As I was cleaning my office,I was told a lady urgently needed to speak with me.As I stepped out,I noticed a young,tired-looking woman with a baby in her arms.Nervously,she explained that her husband-a prisoner in a nearby prison-was my next patient.She told me she wasn't allowed to visit her husband in prison and that he had never seen his son.Her request was for me to let the boy's father sit in the waiting room with her as long as possible before I called him for his appointment.Since my schedule wasn't full,I agreed.After all,it was Christmas Eve.
A short time later,her husband arrived-with chains on his feet and hands,and two armed guards as bodyguards.The woman's tired face lit up like our little Christmas tree when her husband took a seat beside her.I kept glancing out to watch them laugh,cry and share their child.After almost an hour,I called the prisoner back to my office.The patient seemed like a gentle and modest man.I wondered what he possibly could have done to be held under such conditions.I tried to make him as comfortable as possible.
At the end of the appointment,I wished him a Merry Christmas-a difficult thing to say to a man headed back to prison.He smiled and thanked me.He also said he felt saddened by the fact he hadn't been able to get his wife anything for Christmas.On hearing this,I was inspired with a wonderful idea.
I'll never forget the look on both their faces as the prisoner gave his wife the beautiful,long-stemmed roses.I'm not sure who experienced the most joy-the husband in giving,the wife in receiving,or myself in having the opportunity to share in this special moment.

59.What can be inferred from the first paragraph?C
A.The writer was a newcomer to her office.
B.A fellow sent her a dozen red roses as Christmas present.
C.She was in low spirits because she had to work before Christmas.
D.She was at work with a light heart.

3.Are you good with money?I learnt to be careful with it during my childhood.My father would give me some pocket money and tell me it should last for a whole week.So,I learnt I had to save some if I didn't want to run out of cash quickly.No surprise there:my dad was an accountant!
It's never too early to become money savvy (會理財).That's what British personal finances expert Martin Lewis thinks.He was part of a successful campaign to include financial education on the school curriculum in England.It will be embedded(植入)in maths and citizenship education.This includes children from 5to 16years old.
Lewis says:"We desperately need to break the cycle of financial illiteracy(無知)in the UK-one of the causes of our current economic crisis and a huge contributor to continued misselling epidemics (違規(guī)銷售)."
Being careful with money pays off.Banks in Britain recently found themselves having to pay a large number of people who were persuaded to spend money and buy insurance policies they didn't need.Many wasted their money on investments which were not for them.Few have the patience to read the small print.
The British say‘take care of the pennies and the pounds will take care of themselves'.It means you have to watch your daily expenses and not just the big purchases in your life such as houses.
Martin Lewis has made millions from his website which advises people to be thrifty(節(jié)儉) and refuses any suggestion that he is mean.The expert says in an interview with the English newspaper the Daily Express:"the better you are with your cash,the better your life can be.People think I am telling them to stop spending money but I am simply telling them to spend it wisely."

32.From Paragraph 1we can know that the authorD.
A.ran out of cash quickly    B.earned a lot of money
C.was in deep debt           D.was good with money as a child
33.The financial education in England aims toC.
A.help children make money
B.deal with the current economic crisis
C.educate children to become money savvy
D.a(chǎn)void continued misselling epidemics
34.What's the financial problem of some people in Britain?A
A.They invest money blindly and unwisely.
B.They neglect big purchases.
C.They have no patience to spend money.
D.They watch their daily expenses.
35.What does the author mainly tell us?B
A.Financial illiteracy is the cause of economic crisis.
B.Take care of money and life will be better.
C.Financial education must be included in schoo1.
D.People should learn to be thrifty and mean.

13.I came to study in the United States a year ago.Yet I did not know the real American society until I was injured in a car accident because after the accident I had to see a doctor and a lawyer.
After the accident,my roommate called a doctor for me.I was very grateful and determined to repay him one day.But the next day,he asked me to pay him 200 for what he had done.I was very surprised.He said he had a good reason to charge me.And if I wanted to collect money from the person who was responsible(負(fù)責(zé)) for my injury,I'd have to have a good lawyer.'And only a good doctor can help me get a good lawyer.Now that he had helped me find a good doctor,it was only fair that I should pay him.

20.Two brothers decided to dig a deep hole behind their house.As they were working,a couple of older boys stopped by to watch.
"What are you doing?"asked one of the visitors.
"We plan to dig a hole all the way through the earth!"one of the brothers said excitedly.
The older boys began to laugh,telling the younger ones that digging a hole all the way through the earth was impossible.After a long silence,one of the diggers picked up a jar full of spiders,worms and all kinds of other insects.He removed the lid and showed the wonderful contents to the scoffing(嘲笑)visitors.Then he said quietly and confidently,"Even if we don't dig all the way through the earth,look what we found along the way!"
Their goal was far too ambitious(有野心的),but it did cause them to dig.And that is what a goal is for-to cause us to move in the direction we have chosen; in other words,to set us to digging!
But not every goal will be fully achieved.Not every job will end successfully.Not every relationship will endure(長久持續(xù)).Not every dream will be realized.But when you fall short of your aim,perhaps you can say,"Yes,but look at what I found along the way!Look at the wonderful things which have come into my life because I tried to do something!"
It is in the digging that life is lived.And I believe it is joy in the journey,in the end,that truly matters.
21.Which of the following is NOT the reason why the older boys laughed at the two brothers?A

17.[1]How we look and how we appear to others probably worries us more when are in our teens or early twenties than at any other time in our life.Few of us are content to accept ourselves as we are,and few are brave enough to ignore the trends of fashion.
[2]Most fashion magazines or TV advertisements try to persuade us that we should dress in a certain way or behave in a certain manner.If we do,they tell us,we will be able to meet new people with confidence and deal with every situation confidently and without embarrassment.Changing fashion,of course,does not apply just to dress.A barber today does not cut a boy's hair in the same way as he used to,and girls do not make up in the same way as their mothers and grandmothers did.The advertisers show us the latest fashionable styles and we are constantly under pressure to follow the fashion in case our friends think we are odd or dull.
[3]What causes fashions to change?Sometimes convenience or practical necessity or just the fancy of an influential person can establish a fashion.Take hats,for example.In cold climates,early buildings were cold inside,so people wore hats indoors as well as outside.In recent times,the late President Kennedy caused a depression in the American hat industry by not wearing hats:more American men followed his example.
[4]There is also a cyclical pattern in fashion.In the 1920s in Europe and America,short skirts became fashionable.After World War Two,they dropped to ankle length.Then they got shorter and shorter and the miniskirt was in fashion.After a few more years,skirts became longer again.
[5]Today,society is much freer and easier than it used to be.It is no longer necessary to dress like everyone else.Within reason,you can dress as you like or do your hair the way you like instead of the way you should because it is the fashion.The popularity of jeans and the"untidy"look seems to be a reaction against the increasingly expensive fashion of the top fashion houses.
76.What do the fashion magazines or TV advertisements claim to bring to us?
(no more than 2words
77.Why does the writer take President Kennedy as an example?(no more than 14 words)To show the fancy of an influential person can establish a fashion
78.What does the writer try to explain by talking about short skirts?(no more than 8 words)There is a cyclical pattern in fashion                                                                
79.Why are jeans so popular according to the writer?(no more than 10 words)Because it's a reaction against the increasingly expensive fashion                                               
80.According to the passage,how can the fashion in modern society be best described?( one word)Free.
