    The Man of Many Secrets — Harry Houdini — was one of the greatest American entertainers in the theater this century. He was a man famous for his escapes — from prison cells, from wooden boxes floating in rivers, from locked tanks full of water. He appeared in theaters all over Europe and America. Crowds came to see the great Houdini and his “magic” tricks.

    　　Of course, his secret was not magic, or supernatural powers. It was simply strength. He had the ability to move his toes as well as he moved his fingers. He could move his body into almost any position he wanted.

    　　Houdini started working in the entertainment world when he was 17, in 1891. He and his brother Theo performed card tricks in club in New York. They called themselves the Houdini Brothers. When Harry married in 1894, he and his wife Bess worked together as magician and assistant. But for a long time they were not very successful. Then Harry performed his first prison escape, in Chicago in 1898. Harry persuaded a detective to let him try to escape from the prison, and he invited the local newspapermen to watch.

    　　It was the publicity(宣传) that came from this that started Harry Houdini’s success. Harry had fingers trained to escape from handcuffs and toes trained to escape ankle chins. But his biggest secret was how he unlocked the prison doors. Every time he went into the prison cell, Bess gave him a kiss for good luck — and a small skeleton key, which is a key that fits many locks, pass quickly from her mouth to his.

    　　Harry used these prison escapes to build his fame. He arranged to escape from the local prison of every town he visited. In the afternoon, the people of the town would read about it in their local newspapers, and in the evening every seat in the local theater would be full. What was the result? World-wild fame, and a name remembered today.

    1.According to the passage, Houdini’s success in prison escapes depends on _______.

    A．his special tricks and supernatural power

    B．his unusual ability and a skeleton key

    C．his magic tricks and supernatural powers

    D．his wisdom and magic tricks

    2.In the fourth paragraph, the underlined word “this” refers to _______.

    A．his first prison escape

    B．the year 1898

    C．the publicity

    D．Harry Houdini’s success

    3.It can be inferred from the passage that Houdini became famous _______.

    A．in 1894

    B．before he married

    C．at the age of 17

    D．when he was about 24

    4.Which of the following is the best title for the passage?

    A．A Skeleton Key

    B．A Man of Many Secrets

    C．World-wild Fame

    D．Great Escape

    科目：高中英语 来源：2011年上海全国普通高等学校招生统一考试英语试题 题型：阅读理解

     Human remains of ancient settlements will be reburied and lost to science under a law that threatens research into the history of humans in Britain, a group of leading archeologists (考古学家) says. In a letter addressed to the justice secretary, Ken Clarke, 40 archaeologists write of their “deep and widespread concern” about the issue. It centers on the law introduced by the Ministry of Justice in 2008 which requires all human remains unearthed in England and Wales to be reburied within two years, regardless of their age. The decision means scientists have too little time to study bones and other human remains of national and cultural significance.

       “Your current requirement that all archaeologically unearthed human remains should be reburied, whether after a standard period of two years or a further special extension, is contrary to basic principles of archaeological and scientific research and of museum practice,” they write.

       The law applies to any pieces of bone uncovered at around 400 dig sites, including the remains of 60 or so bodies found at Stonehenge in 2008 that date back to 3,000 BC. Archaeologists have been granted a temporary extension to give them more time, but eventuallly the bones will have to be returned to the ground.

       The arrangements may result in the waste of future discoveries at sites such as Happisburgh in Norfolk, where digging is continuing after the discovery of stone tools made by early humans 950,000 years ago. If human remains were found at Happisburgh, they would be the oldest in northern Europe and the first indication of what this species was. Under the current practice of the law those remains would have to be reburied and effectively destroyed.

       Before 2008, guidelines allowed for the proper preservation and study of bones of sufficient age and historical interest, while the Burial Act 1857 applied to more recent remains. The Ministry of Justice assured archaeologists two years ago that the law was temporary, but has so far failed to revise it.

       Mike Parker Pearson, an archaeologist at Sheffield University, said: “Archaeologists have been extremely patient because we were led to believe the ministry was sorting out this problem, but we feel that we cannot wait any longer.”

       The ministry has no guidelines on where or how remains should be reburied, or on what records should be kept.

    1.According to the passage, scientists are unhappy with the law mainly because ______.

    A. it is only a temporary measure on the human remains

    B. it is unreasonable and thus destructive to scientific research

    C. it was introduced by the government without their knowledge

    D. it is vague about where and how to rebury human remains

    2.Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?

    A. Temporary extension of two years will guarantee scientists enough time.

    B. Human remains of the oldest species were dug out at Happisburgh.

    C. Human remains will have to be reburied despite the extension of time.

    D. Scientists have been warned that the law can hardly be changed.

    3.What can be inferred about the British law governing human remains?

    A. The Ministry of Justice did not intend it to protect human remains.

    B. The Burial Act 1857 only applied to remains uncovered before 1857.

    C. The law on human remains hasn’t changed in recent decades.

    D. The Ministry of Justice has not done enough about the law.

    4.Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?

    A. New discoveries should be reburied, the government demands.

    B. Research time should be extended, scientists require.

    C. Law on human remains needs thorough discussion, authorities say.

    D. Law could bury ancient secrets for ever, archeologists warn.

    China launched its fifth Beidou orbiter into space on Sunday morning, moving it one step closer to its goal of building a navigation(导航) and positioning satellite network.

           The Beidou, or Compass, system is being built to rival the US-developed GPS, the European Union's Galileo and Russia's Global Navigation Satellite System. It can allow travelers, drivers and military officials to know their locations.

           The fifth orbiter was launched on top of a Long March 3A carrier rocket at 5:30 am on Sunday from Xichang of Southwest China's Sichuan province.

           It is the third Compass satellite launched this year, following launches on Jan 17 and June 2.

           The short interval of less than two months since the last launch demonstrated that "the country is stepping into a busy period of launching the Compass satellites", an unnamed official in charge of the project said last month.

           The first two orbiters were launched in 2007 and 2009 respectively.

           Sun Jiadong, the Beidou program's chief designer, said on June 21 in a TV interview that China would launch 13 to 15 Beidou navigation satellites into orbit by 2012 to form a network that provides regional service covering the neighboring areas.

           And in about 10 years, the network would be expanded to include more than 30 satellites covering the globe, he said.

          The system is a crucial part of the country's space infrastructure for providing navigation and positioning services in transportation, meteorology, petroleum prospecting, forest fire monitoring, disaster forecasting, telecommunications and public security.

           In addition, a global positioning system is crucial to any country's national security and defense, said Ran Chengqi, an official in charge of the program, referring to the fact that the US initially built its GPS system for military purposes.

           It is unimaginable for China to go without such a system, he said.

           Earlier reports cited（引用） Song Xiaojun, a Beijing-based military expert, as saying that 90 percent of the world's current weapons systems need a global positioning system.

    1.This news report was probably released            .

           A．in January, 2010  B．in June, 2010       C．in July, 2010      D．in August, 2010

    2.The Compass System is expected to finally cover      in the future.

           A．China                                                 B．China and its neigh boring areas

           C．Asia, Europe and Oceania                     D．the earth

    3.At the very beginning, the GPS system was built to help       .

           A．military officers to judge their locations B．travelers to know their locations

           C．drivers to reach their destinations easily D．hunters to find wild animals smoothly

    Baths and bathing have been considered of an important medical therapy to man. In Greece there are the ruins of a bath tub and water system built over 3 000 years ago. The Romans had warm public baths. In some public baths as many 3 000 persons could bathe at the same time.

    Treating diseases by bathing has been popular for centuries. Modern medical bathing, or hydrotherapy, first became popular in Europe and by the late 1 700’s also became popular in the United States.

    For many years frequent bathing was believed to be bad for one’s health. Ordinary bathing just to be clean was avoided, and perfume(香水) was used to cover up body and smell.

    By the 1 700’s doctors began to say that soap and water were good for health. They believed that it was good for people to be clean. Slowly, people began to bathe more frequently.

    In the United States ordinary bathing was slow to become popular. During the 18th and early 19th centuries, many Americans were known as “the great unwashed”. In one American city, for example, a person could only take a bath every 30 days! That was a law.

    Frequency of bathing today is partly a matter of habit. People know that bathing for cleanliness is important to health. Doctors know that dirty bodies increase that chance of disease.    

    Therefore in the United States people generally bathe often.
