The Great Wall of China, one of the greatest wonders of the world, was enlisted in the World Heritage by the UNESCO in 1987. Just like a gigantic dragon, the Great Wall winds up and down across deserts, grasslands and mountains, stretching about 6,700 kilometers from east to west of China. With a history of more than 2,000 years, some parts of the Great Wall are now in ruins or even entirely disappeared. However, it is still one of the most appealing attractions around the world.
No one can tell for sure when the building of the Great Wall was started, but it is popularly believed that it originated as a military fortification(要塞) against intrusion by tribes on the borders during the earlier Zhou Dynasty. Late in the Spring and Autumn Period, some states extended the defence work to prevent the attacks from other states.
It was not until the Qin Dynasty that the separate walls were connected to form a defensive system by Emperor Qin Shi Huang. After the emperor unified the country in 214 BC, he ordered the construction of the wall. It took about ten years to finish and the wall stretched from Gansu Province to Jilin Province. The wall not only served as a defence in the north but also symbolized the power of the emperor.
Further construction also experienced several dynasties. The present Great Wall in Beijing is mainly remains from the Ming Dynasty. Today, the Great Wall has become a must-see for every visitor to China. Few can help saying “Wow” when they stand on top of a beacon tower and look at this giant dragon. It has become a national pride of Chinese people.
1.The underlined word “appealing” probably means “______”.

C. ordinary D. moving

科目：高中英语 来源：安徽省蚌埠市2017届高三7月月考英语试卷 题型：阅读理解
Everyone knows that if a dog’s ears are up and its tail is wagging energetically, it is definitely pleased to see you. but now scientists using a robot have found that the way dogs use their tails is more complicated th an we thought, and that dogs which wag them to the left may he more friendly. The animal psychologists discovered that when real dogs approached a life-sized robot dog, they were less cautious about it when it was wagging its tail to the left, while if it was wagging its tail to the right, far fewer dogs approached it in a confident manner.
In the first experiments, 56 percent of the animals approached the model without hesitation when the tail was wagged to the left, while only 21 percent did so in the other situation. When the researchers excluded(排除)owners from being present, the result were: 31 percent of the dogs
approached continuously when the tail was wagging to the left, while only 18 percent did so when it was on the right.
Animal psychologist Roger Mugford said it added to the growing evidence that does were even more complicated comm unicators than the animals more closely related to man such as monkeys. He said, “We know that dogs, in a sense, have languages, but it is more complicated because it is not just them wagging their tails, but also giving out chemical displays.”
He adds, “The research confirms earlier studies suggesting that dogs, like humans, had a left-side preference. If you are going to present a signal to a dog, it is sensible to put it on your left-hand side because that is where dogs, unlike most other animals, tend to look. It is another example of the similarity betwe en dogs and humans. They are a lot more human than we give them credit for.”
1.What does it tell us if a dog wags its tail to the right?
A. It was very energetic B. It was in a bad mood
C. It might be unfriendly D. It must be confident
2.What can be inferred from the second paragraph?
A. Some dogs approach the robot dog confidently
B. Most dogs were afraid to approach the robot dog
C. Some dogs lack confidence with their owners present
D. Dog owners may influence the behaviour of their pets
3.What can we learn from animal psychologist’s experiments?
A. Dogs can communicate more than human beings
B. Dogs have more complicated emotions than monkeys
C. Dogs’ tail-wagging conveys more information than previously believed
D. Dogs’ intelligence can be much higher than any other kind of animal
4.What can we infer from Roger Mugfords words?
A. The Left-side preference should be studied further
B. Dogs have more in common with humans than we think
C. No other animals show the left-side preference except dogs
D. Dogs have a more complicated language than we people do
