4.After more than 3,000years,a statue of the Egyptian king Amenhotep III has been erected in the city of Luxor after being knocked down by an earthquake.
One of the great figures in the story of ancient Egypt,Amenhotep III was a boy king.He became king of Egypt at the age of only 12years.He ruled at a time when Egyptian civilization was at its very height.
Amenhotep III was given statues in his honor and among them this 13-meter-high statue stood on the bank of the Nile until it was knocked down by an earthquake 3,000years ago.So for 30centuries,it lay in pieces in the field,more than 80pieces.Now the statue has been  restored  and shown to the public.There is another very similar huge statue of Amenhotep III.It was also damaged by that earthquake.And it,too,has been repaired and put back in its place.These two statues stand at the gates of the famous funerary temple in Luxor,which has another two huge seated figures of the kings.
And the background for this is just that tourism is very important to the Egyptian economy after what's been happening recently.Years of disturbance (骚乱)has hit the Egyptian economy in many ways and any improvement of that economy will need to be helped by the tourist industry.The legacy(遗产)of ancient Egypt is so much,so important to that tourist industry.And the images coming from Luxor today show just how delighted and proud the archeologists and the local people are for what they've seen today.

28.What can we learn about Amenhotep III from the passage?C
A.He was deeply loved by Egyptians.
B.He created the brilliant civilization of Egypt.
C.He began to rule Egypt at a young age.
D.He had a lot of statues built for himself.
29.The underlined word in Paragraph 3meansB.
A.put down     B.repaired
C.given back   D.recreated
30.According to Paragraph 3,the two statues of Amenhotep IIID.
A.were the same size and shape
B.were put back inside the funerary temple
C.were knocked down by different earthquakes
D.were both standing before a famous temple in Luxor
31.How may repairing the statues benefit Egypt?A
A.It can promote the economic development of Egypt.
B.It drives the development of archeology in Egypt.
C.It can help to end the serious disturbance in Egypt.
D.It encourages people to build great statues in Egypt.

Dear Sir,
    Thank you for invite me to the summer English course in your school.As for your choice between the two courses,I prefer the four-week course because of this will allow me more time to do some traveling but make a few new friends.Of all the subject I'm learning at school,I like English best.I had been learning English for eleven years but my spoken English remains poorly.So I really hope to take this chance improve it.If possible,I'd like to stay with a family for a couple of days in order that I can know some customs in England,that I'm particularly interested in.I believe I will have wonderful time this summer.
Yours truly.

19.Kong Zi,also called Confucius (551-479 B.C),and Socrates (469-399 B.C) lived only a hundred years apart,and during their lifetimes there was no contact between China and Greece,but it is interesting to look at how the world that each of these great philosophers came from shaped their ideas,and how these ideas in turn,shaped their societies.
Neither philosopher lived in times of peace,though there were more wars in Greece than in China.The Chinese states were very large and feudal,while the Greek city-states were small and urban.The urban environment in which Socrates lived allowed him to be more radical than Confucius.Unlike Confucius,Socrates was not asked by rules how to govern effectively.Thus,Socrates was able to be more idealistic,focusing on issues like freedom,and knowledge for its own sake.Confucius,on the other hand,advised those in government service,and many of his students went out to government service.
Confucius suggested the Golden Rule as a principle for the conduct of life:"Do not do to others what you would not want others to do to you."He assumed that all men were equal at birth,though some had more potential than others,and that it was knowledge that set men apart.Socrates focused on the individual,and thought that the greatest purpose of man was to seek wisdom.He believed that the superior class should rule the inferior(下层的)classes.
For Socrates,the family was of no importance,and the community of little concern.For Confucius,however,the family was the centre of the society,with family relations considered much more important than political relations.
Both men are respected much more today than they were in their lifetimes.
32.Which of the following is TURE according to the first paragraph?C
A.Socrates and Confucius had much in common,
B.Confucius had much influence on Socrates'ideas.
C.The societies were influenced by the philosophers'ideas.
D.There were cultural exchanges between China and Greece.
33.Socrates shared with Confucius the idea that.B
A.all men were equal when they were born
B.the lower classed should be ruled by the upper class
C.the purpose of man was to seek freedom and wisdom
D.people should not ask others to do what they did not want to
34.What made some people different from others according to Confucius?C
A.Family.
B.Potential.
C.Knowledge.
D.Community.
35.This passage is organized in the pattern of,B
A.time and events                       
B.comparison and contrast
C.cause and effect                       
D.definition and classification.

4.A paperclip,made of steel wire bent into a looped(环形的)shape,is an instrument used to hold sheets of paper together.This common device is a wonder of simplicity and function.But where did this simple,cheap,and practical invention come from?
In the late 19th century,the most common way to hold papers together was by using a pin.Although the pin was an inexpensive tool and was easily removable,it would 1eave holes in the paper.Later,as steel wire became more common,inventors began to notice its elastic(有弹性的)feature.With this feature,it could be stretched and twisted into various clip-like objects.In the years just before 1900,quite a few paperclip designs appeared.The name most frequently associated with the paperclip invention is Johan Vaaler,a Norwegian inventor.However,Vaaler's clips were not the same as the paperclips currently in use.Specifically,they did not have the inside loop we see today.The familiar looped design was invented by Gem Manufacturing Ltd.in England.This clip is therefore sometimes known as the Gem clip.
Because of Vaaler,the paperclip played an important historical role in Norway.During World War II,Norway was occupied by the Nazis.Norwegians were prohibited from wearing any symbol of their national unity(团结),such as buttons with the initials of their king.Thus,in protest,they started wearing paperclips to show their unity.The reason for doing this was simple:Paperclips were a Norwegian invention whose original function was to bind together.After the war,a giant paperclip statue was put up in Oslo to honour Vaaler-even though his design was never actually produced.
25.According to the first paragraph,the paperclip isD.
A.made of paper    
B.for holding clothes together
C.shaped like a pin 
D.inexpensive and useful
26.One way the paperclip is better than the pin is thatC
A.it is cheaper    
B.it is simpler
C.it doesn't damage the paper
D.it can be removed more easily
27.Which of the following best shows what the Gem clip looks like?A

28.The last paragraph is mainly aboutB.
A.how widely used Vaaler's clip is
B.how Vaaler's clip became a national symbol
C.how the Nazis ruled the Norwegian people
D.why Norwegians had the initials of their king on their buttons.
