C What historical site impresses you 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 marveled (赞叹) at stone-walled rooms full of the magic of this ancient civilization.

But popularity might be the destruction of such archaeological treasures.Take Tutankhamun’s tomb in the Valley of the Kings for example.It lay untouched for more than 3,000 years until the British archaeologist Howard Carter uncovered it in 1922.Now more than 1,000 people a day walk through it.

But as more and more people visit, the temperature and humidity inside the tomb change.As a result, the beautifully decorated plaster is coming away from the rock.

In order to preserve its heritage, a replica (复制品) of the monument is being opened about 1 kilometer 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 organization behind the project 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 they 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 (使圣化) 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?

1.What may account for the destruction of some archaeological treasures like Tutankhamun’s tomb?

A.Climate change.

B.Copies.

C.Popularity.

D.Thieves.

2.What measures have been taken to preserve the heritage of Tutankhamun’s tomb?

A.Decorating the monument again.

B.Building a replica of the monument.

C.Limiting the number of visitors.

D.Moving the tomb away from the actual site.

3.The underlined word “identical” is closest in meaning to ________.

A.superior

B.Sensitive

C.Exposed

D.similar

4.Historian Tom Holland may hold the opinion that ________.

A.some unique ancient places can’t simply be replaced by replicas

B.visitors are advised to see replicas because preservation is first

C.ancient civilizations are consecrated and can’t be redecorated

D.visitors to ancient civilizations must believe in a god or gods

Chinese female scientist Tu Youyou won the 2015 Nobel Prize in medicine on October 5 for her discoveries concerning a novel treatment against Malaria(疟疾). This is the first Nobel Prize given to a Chinese scientist for work carried out within China.

Tu shared the prize with Irish-born William Campbell and Satoshi Omura of Japan, who were honored for their revolutionary anti-roundworm treatment. 84-year-old Tu is awarded this prize for her contribution to cutting the death rate of malaria, reducing patients’ suffering and promoting mankind’s health. Although she received several medical awards in the past, the 2015 Nobel Prize is definitely the most privilege reward that recognizes Tu’s dedication and perseverance in discovering artemisinin(青蒿素), the key drug that battles malaria-friendly parasites(寄生虫).

However, her route to the honor has been anything but traditional. She won the Nobel Prize for medicine, but she doesn’t have a medical degree or a PhD. In China, she is even being called the “three-noes” winner: no medical degree, no doctorate, and she’s never worked overseas. No wonder her success has stirred China’s national pride and helped promote confidence of native Chinese scientists.

The fact that Tu has none of these three backgrounds reminds us that science should be more accessible to all. One shall be able to become a scientist no matter what kind of background he or she comes from, as long as one dives into scientific research. There have been discussions on people who really love science but are never able to achieve much during their whole life. Their contributions can never be ignored. They work so hard to prove the wrong way so that the future researchers will be closer to the right one.

As the first Chinese mainland Nobel Prize Winner of natural science award, Tu’s record-breaking winning also serves as a reminder to those who are too eager for instant success. Science is never about instant success. Tu spent decades on scientific research before its value is officially acknowledged. There is no way to measure how much one devotes to science and compare it with how much reward he or she may get.

1. It can be concluded from the text that ______.

A. Tu worked home and abroad to conduct her research

B. Tu got the Nobel Prize for her anti-roundworm treatment

C. The Nobel Prize is the first award to recognize her work

D. Her discovery of artemisinin has helped to cut Malaria death rate

2.The author seems to agree that a person who is more likely to become a scientist is the one with _____.

A. a sense of national pride

B. Relevant academic knowledge

C. a desire to achieve success

D. enthusiasm for scientific research

3. In writing the passage, the author intends to ___________.

A. inform readers of the news and make comments

B. discourage the pursuit of instant success in science

C. remind readers of the principles of scientific research

D. praise the award winner and encourage scientific research

America's child movie star Shirley Temple Black died late Monday evening at the age of 85. Her fans in China are also deeply saddened. Temple is just one example of movie stars that China adored, and still adores. Here's our editor's pick of the top movie stars who have influenced China.

1. Sylvester Stallone

Oh, Rambo! The first strong American man that China knew. His accented English, easily recognizable even for someone who doesn't speak English, and his eyes that never seemed to smile, makes him someone whom cannot be forgotten. He represented the strong American image, and even stirred a boxing and bodybuilding fever in China.

2.Charlie Chaplin (April 16, 1889 – December 25, 1977)

In the 20th century, it is not too much to say that Einstein made the greatest contributions to science, and not many would disagree that Chaplin did the same for film. He was the first actor that introduced comedy to most Chinese viewers, and politically, he was also a close friend of China’s. His silent films broke the barrier of language and his form of art was recognized by all. It will be a difficult task to find a person in China who does not recognize Chaplin, even today.

3. Shirley Temple ( April 23, 1928 – February 10, 2014)

When Chinese audiences saw this adorable child star for the first time on screen, Shirley Temple had already lived for more than half a century. In her movies, she was always alone or in trouble, but this adorable little blonde(金发女郎) could always resolve anything with her kindness, push away the fogginess and bring about light. The brand "Shirley Temple" was a product of the Great Depression. People watched her act to forget their hardships as Temple entertained the poor, the rich, adults and children alike. Several decades later, when her films were screened in China, the effects were the same.

4. Audrey Hepburn( May 4, 1929 – January 20, 1993)

She will forever be the princess in Chinese people's hearts. Even to this day, a large number of tourists go to Rome to visit the Mouth of Truth with their lovers and eat ice cream on the Spanish Steps. Her sense of style seems to never go out of style. When she was alive, she was living perfection. Even after her death, she has remained an icon. That's something that only Audrey Hepburn is capable of.

1.According to the passage, who was most known for comedy in China?

A. Sylvester Stallone B. Charlie Chaplin

C. Shirley Temple D. Audrey Hepburn

2. What can we learn from the passage?

A. Sylvester Stallone taught boxing and bodybuilding and caused a fever in China.

B. Charlie Chaplin was China’s close friend because he introduced comedy to China.

C. Audrey Hepburn’s movie made the Mouth of Truth and the Spanish Steps popular.

D. Shirley Temple’s works can only help Americans forget hardships and enjoy life better.

3. What does the underlined word “icon” mean in the passage?

A. symbol B. sign C. mystery D. heroine

4. In which part can we most probably read this passage?

A. Art B. Columns

C. Music & Theater D. Film &TV

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,选项中有两项为多余选项。

Home on the Way

People need homes. Children assume their parents’ place as home. Boarders call school “home” on weekdays. Married couples work together to build new homes and travelers have no place to call “home”, at least for a few nights. 1.? Don’t they have the right to a home? Of course they do.

Some regular travelers take their own belongings like bed sheets, pillowcases and family photos to make them feel like home no matter where they are. Some stay for long periods in the same hotel and as a result become very familiar with service and attendants. 2..Furthermore, driving a camping car during one’s travels and sleeping in the vehicle at night is just like home—only mobile!

And how about keeping relationships while in transit(运输中)? 3. . Some send letters and postcards, or even photos. Others may just call and say Hi just to let their friends know that they’re still alive and well. People find ways to keep in touch. Making friends on the way helps travelers feel more or less at home. 4..

Nowadays, fewer people are working in their local towns, so how do they develop a sense of belonging? Whenever we step out of our local boundaries, there is always another “home” waiting to be found. 5. , we can make the place we stay “home”.

A. Hostels provide a clean safe place to stay while you are travelling the world

B. Others may simply put some flowers by the hotel window to make things more homely

C. Backpackers in youth hostels may become very good friends, even closer than siblings (兄弟姐妹)

D. So how about people who have to travel for extended periods of time

E. No matter where you go in the world, hotels are there, too

F. Some keep contact with their friends via Internet

G. Wherever we are, with just a little bit of effort and imagination
