The Mayan Indians lived in Mexico for thousands of years. The Maya were so bright that they achieved a lot. They had farms, temples and cities with many buildings. They knew much about nature and the world around them. This knowledge helped them to live a better life than most people of that time.

In ancient Mexico there were many small clearings in the forest. In each clearing was a village with fields of crops around it. The Maya planted seeds after they cleared the land. A farmer was able to grow crops that produced for several people. But not every Maya had to be a farmer. Some were builders or priests (祭司)．

The Maya believed in many gods. They built large temples to honor them. Skillful workers built cities around these temples. It was difficult because they had to carry all of the building materials themselves. Today, many of these ancient Mayan cities and temples are still standing.

Although the Maya worked hard to build the beautiful cities, very few of them lived in them. Usually, only the priests lived in the cities. The other people lived in small villages in the forests. Their houses were much simpler. Most Maya lived a simple life close to nature.

Around the year 800, the Maya left their villages and beautiful cities, never to return. No one knows why this happened. They may have died from a deadly disease. They may have left because the soil could no longer grow crops. The lost secrets of the Maya are still beyond the reach of modern people. They are still one of our greatest mysteries.

1.The Maya lived better than most people of their times because ______．

A. they had skillful workers

B. they believed in many gods

C. they knew better about nature

D. they could measure time correctly

2.It can be inferred from the passage that ______．

A. the priests were not highly respected by the ancient Maya

B. the ancient Mayan cities and temples were well built

C. the ancient Mayan people led a happy life in the cities

D. the ancient Mayan people died from a serious disease

3.The underlined word “They” in the last paragraph refers to ______．

A. the Mayan people B. the Mayan villages

C. the Mayan cities D. the lost secrets of the Maya

4.Which of the following would be the best title for this passage?

Dr. Michael Prager, a leading Botox expert, said that a growing number of women are developing something called “computer face”. He also mentioned that professionals who worked long hours in front of a screen were ending up with saggy jowls（顎骨下垂）,“turkey neck” and deep-set wrinkles（皺紋） on their forehead and around their eyes.

The Botox expert said that, of all his clients, office workers were most likely to show premature （過早的）signs of aging. “ If you are one of the unfortunate people who frown（皺眉）while you are concentrating on the screen then, over time, you will inevitably（不可避免地） end up with frown lines.’’ Dr. Prager said. “What is perhaps more surprising is the number of women with saggy jowls because they are sitting in one position for so long. If you spend most of the time looking down then the neck muscles shorten and go saggy, eventually giving you a second neck.”

Dr. Prager, who has a practice near Harley Street in London, said he encourages his clients（客戶） to put a mirror next to their computer so they can see if they are frowning at the screen. “When people are stressed or thinking hard about something, then they will often put on a ‘grumpy（脾氣暴躁的）face’ without even knowing what they are doing. When my clients put a mirror next to their desk, they are often shocked by the angry, frowning face which stares back at them.”

He said, “The women I am seeing at the moment have only been using computers at work for the last decade or so. But women in their 20s have grown up with them and use them for every single task. I think the problem is going to become much, much worse. In another ten years, they could be looking quite awful.”

Dr. Prager said there were several simple steps which could avoid “computer face” such as regular screen breaks and stretching the neck muscles. And, of course, there was always Botox. He said that , after a couple of sessions of Botox, the habit of “grumpy face” could be broken.

1.According to the passage, which of the following are signs of aging?

A. Saggy jowls and short necks

B. Turkey neck and frown lines

C. Deep-set wrinkles and angry faces

D. Second neck and stressed muscles

2.Why does Dr. Prager suggest a mirror for his clients?

A. To be aware of their “computer face”

B. To see if they have got a second neck

C. To make sure their make-up is perfect

D. To find more signs of premature aging

3.From the last 2 paragraphs, we can know that_____

A. “computer face” is avoidable

B. we should give up using computers

C. we should break the habit of “grumpy face”

D. the younger generation is worse at computers

科目：高中英語 來源：河北省2017屆高三高考押題（三）英語試卷 題型：閱讀理解

A museum in the Netherlands is trying to show visitors more of the objects it has and bring them more excitement.It is using an augmented reality（增強現(xiàn)實）device made by Microsoft to reach its goal.However,the use of this high-technology device started with a basic problem.

The Dutch National Museum of Antiquities does not have enough space to put all of its artifacts（人工制品）on display.So,the museum asked experts at Delft University of Science and Technology to find a way to let more visitors—especially young people—experience what the museum has to offer.

The experts used the Hololens（全息透鏡）.It is a computer that shows visitors holograms,or virtual pictures that appear to have three dimensions.

Annelies Maltha,a researcher at the University,says that almost 80 percent of the artifacts at the museum are not shown to the public."So by using the Hololens,"she adds,"people can virtually visit the exhibit and see so much more."

The Dutch National Museum has artifacts like the Egyptian Temple of Teffeh.The structure was reconstructed inside the museum in 1971.It is not currently available to the public.

"The Hololens enables you to have augmented reality,instead of virtual reality,which means you can still see the temple,you can still feel the ancient vibe（氛圍）around you,so to speak."The augmented reality technology gives visitors the ability to interact with their surroundings.

The researchers are using the Hololens to make three dimensional images of every room in the temple.Erik Hoglund,another researcher,explains that his team can create 3D models and add different images,movies,or animations.The effect is to make visitors feel like they are interacting with the temple.

The Hololens program is still being developed.But museum officials hope that,in the future,the Hololens will serve as a tour guide for exhibits that have been hidden from public view.

1.What does the underlined part "its goal" in Paragraph 1 mean?

A. The experience of excitement.

B. The solving of the basic problem.

C. The showing of more museum objects.

D. The use of the augmented reality device.

2.What can be learnt about the augmented reality device?

A. It has been widely applied to museums.

B. It is what we call virtual reality.

C. It is developed by Microsoft.

D. It has many hidden dangers.

3.Which of the following statements about the Hololens is TRUE?

A. It makes interactions possible.

B. It gives the museum much more space.

C. It enables visitors to have virtual reality.

D. It is a must-have item for the common people.

4.What would happen if the technology were to be applied in the museums?

a.More young people would be attracted to the museums.

b.More items of the museums would be on display.

c.People would travel back to ancient times.

d.Fewer guides would be needed.

A. abd B. abc

C. acd D. bcd
