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 (崩溃) 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 (湿度) inside the tomb change.As a result,the beautifully decorated plaster (胶泥) 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,Factum 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".
A.copy
B.tomb
C.palace
D.door
53.The critics who are against the project hold the view thatB.
A.visitors will mind it
B.it can't be replaced
C.its inner beautiful decoration
D.its damage caused by human activities
54.What is the author's tone towards the project?B
A.Favorable.
B.Doubtful.
C.Objective.

分析 本文是一篇记叙文.主要介绍了旅游业给历史古迹带来的破坏,以埃及国王图坦卡蒙的墓为例,自从英国考古学家霍华德•卡特发现开探该墓后,更多的游客参观导致温度和湿度变化使得内部装饰已剥离.为了保护文化遗产,采用古迹复制品取而代之迎接游客以减轻古迹压力的办法.

解答 51-54   DBBB
51.D     细节理解题.根据第三段中的"But as more and more people visit,the temperature and humidity (湿度) inside the tomb change.As a result,the beautifully decorated plaster (胶泥) is coming away from the rock"可知,随着越来越多游客的参观,给历史古迹造成了破坏,因此D项符合语境,故选D.
52.B     词意猜测题.根据第四段中的"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,为了保护历史遗迹,在实际墓地1公里外,一个相似的坟墓的复制品对游客开放,专家们进行再创造,极力保持原有坟墓的特征,即被复制的坟墓,故选B.
53.B    推理判断题.根据第六段中"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,历史学家"Tom Holland"认为,这些历史遗址(坟墓)是神圣的,甚至有些是超自然的,有它自身的特质和积淀,这些东西是无法再生的,故选B.
54.B    推理判断题.根据第六段中"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,历史古遗址的特质有些是无法复制的,作者最后提出疑问:你们是想要参观古迹复制品还是原始的古迹呢?,由此可判断,作者对此‘采用古迹复制品取而代之迎接游客以减轻古迹压力的办法'是持怀疑态度的,故选B.

点评 解答细节理解题时,一个常用的方法就是运用定位法,即根据题干和选项中的关键词从原文中找到相关的句子,与选项进行比较从而确定答案;推理判断题既要求学生透过文章表面文字信息推测文章隐含意思,又要求学生对作者的态度、意图及文章细节的发展作正确的推理判断,力求从作者的角度去考虑,不要固守自己的看法或观点.

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.

A.having her baby examined
B.giving her husband a chance to make his escape
C.having her husband examined
D.getting a chance for her family to get together

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 (会理财).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(无知)in the UK-one of the causes of our current economic crisis and a huge contributor to continued misselling epidemics (违规销售)."
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(节俭) 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.avoid 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.

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(长久持续).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
A.The two brothers only dug out a lot of insects  B.The two brothers lacked knowledge of the earth.
C.The two brothers were foolish.D.The two brothers had a far too ambitious goal.
22.What does the underlined part"when you fall short of your aim"probably mean?C
A.When you are shorter than you expected
B.When you have less than the amount than you wanted

D.When you miss the target you are aiming at
23.The passage is written toD.

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.

18.Ellen Parker was worried about her health.She could not walk very quickly and it was difficult for her to climb stairs.She was soon out of breath.
"I suppose I had better go to the doctor,"she thought.
She went to the doctor and told him her problem.
"I'm not surprised at all,"he said."It's obvious what your problem is."
He examined her and then gave her some advice.
"If you don't do what I say,Mrs.Parker,"he said,"you will have a heart attack.It could kill you."
Ellen Parker was very worried as she left the doctor's.She knew that she had to take his advice but it would not be easy and it would take time.
