Ⅲ.阅读理解(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)
A
When a Swedish ship t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )hat sank in 1628 was recovered from the port of Stockholm，historians and scientists were overjoyed with the chance to examine the remains of the past.The ship construction showed how ships were built and operated during the seventeenth century.In this way，artifacts(史前古器物)，objects made by human beings，provided a picture of daily life almost 400 years ago.
Underwater arc ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )haeology－the study of ships，aircraft(航行器) and human settlements that have sunk under large bodies of water－is really a product of the last 50 years.The rapid growth of this new area of study has occurred because of the invention of better diving equipment.Besides the Swedish ship wreck(残骸)，underwater archaeologists have made more exciting discoveries such as the 5,000 year old boats in the Mediterranean Sea.21cnjy.com
Underwater archaeol ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ogy can provide facts about the past.In ancient ports all over the world are ships sunk in the past 6,000 years.There are also sunken settlements in seas and lakes telling of people's way of life and their systems of trade in ancient times.Underwater archaeologists want to study these objects to add to the world's knowledge of history，but they have to fight two enemies. One enemy is treasure hunters who dive for ancient artifacts that they can sell to collectors.Once sold，these objects are lost to experts.The second enemy is dredging machines(挖掘机)often used to repair ports.These machines destroy wrecks and artifacts or bury them deeper under sand and mud.By teaching the public about the importance of underwater “museums” of the past，archaeologists are hoping to get support for laws to protect underwater treasures.2·1·c·n·j·y

B．To discuss the scientists' problems.
C．To explain people's way of life in the past.
D．To describe the sunken ships.

Remote medicine is a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )n aspect of medical technology that has been steadily developing in recent times.Remote medicine can be defined as experts helping to treat patients in remote areas by using high end telecommunication systems.Sometimes physicians have to perform surgery on patients using robotic arms through these high end telecommunication systems.Doctors in remote areas can purchase emergency medical supplies and first aid kits required for remote medicine treatment from popular online stores.
Surgery has been perfo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rmed successfully in many cases through remote medicine. Sometimes it is neither practical nor financially possible for the sick or injured to travel to developed nations for their medical treatment.Thanks to remote medicine，people in remote areas can get treatment from experts without having to travel.Although it is useful for patients across the globe，it could be difficult in certain cases to do due to problems with access，supplies and knowledge of local professionals.Doctors believe the biggest barrier is the difficulty in building a close relationship between doctors and patients because of the computer mediated virtual communication.
However，with lack ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )of specialists in intensive care units in many rural areas across the globe，remote medicine provides a helping hand in monitoring and treating critical patients.Remote medical technology is only as good as the supplies on hand.Putting this technology into practice requires people in remote areas to have relevant emergency medical kits and emergency medical supplies to treat patients.
Chinook Medical Gea ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )r is a very popular online store that offers a wide range of emergency medical supplies，medical kits，first aid kits，and containers that are specifically designed to be used in remote areas during emergency situations.This online store also ships emergency medical supplies that assist field doctors to those remote areas.People involved in remote medical treatment can now be assured that they will receive well stocked first aid kits as soon as possible from this online store.
40．According to the passage，remote medicine refers to ________.
A．medicine sent to patients living in remote areas
B．treatment given to patients by doctors
C．emergency medical ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )supplies and first aid kits bought from online stores
D．treatment given ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) to patients in remote areas through a high end telecommunication system
41．According to th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e doctors，the biggest difficulty of remote medicine is a lack of ________.
A．enough emergency medical kits
B．specialists in intensive care units
C．a close link between doctors and patients
D．knowledge of local professionals
42．It is implied in Paragraph 3 that remote medicine ________.
A．needs the help of relevant equipment
B．has been widely used across the globe
C．is more important than specialists
D．doesn't help much in rural areas
43．What's the last paragraph mainly about
A．The correct ways of using emergency medical supplies.
B．The importance of relevant equipment in remote medicine.
C．An introduction to how field doctors use medical supplies.
D．A store that offers things used in remote medicine.

Imagine living for ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )a week in a little French cottage，buying fresh vegetables from the farmer's market every morning，sipping(小口泯)coffee，and taking day trips to neighboring villages.Sound appealing？That's the magic of slow travel，where the emphasis (重点)is less on sightseeing and more on taking in your surroundings at a relaxed pace.
Slow travel is ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) a branch of the slow food movement，which began in Italy in the 1980's as a protest(抗议)against the opening of a McDonald's in Rome.The slow food movement aims to preserve regional cooking，local farming，and traditional food preparation methods.This cultural idea has since developed into a whole way of life known as the Slow Movement，which emphasizes connection to food and families and，in the case of travel，connection to local people and cultures.
Slow travel i ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s not so much a particular mode of transportation as it is an attitude. Rather than attempting to put as many sights or cities as possible into each trip，the slow traveler takes time to explore each destination thoroughly and to experience the local culture. As Pauline Kenny says，“Slow travelers assume that they do not have to see everything on one trip，that there will be other trips.”21世纪教育网版权所有
The clearest advantag ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e of slow travel is reflected in the general nature of your trip.Traveling more slowly allows you to form a stronger connection to the place you're visiting，and you'll feel much less rushed.
Another less clear adv ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )antage of slow travel is that it's generally much easier on the environment than other types of travel.While airplanes have recently been considered as major contributors to global warming, trains are a much more eco friendly choice－as are bikes and，of course，your own two feet!
Slow travel is often k ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )inder to your budget as well.Staying in one place for a week or more at a time reduces your transportation costs，and vacation rentals(度假出租屋) are often cheaper than hotels since they allow you to cook your own food instead of eating out for every meal.
44．What do we know about slow travel
A．It mainly uses slow means of transportation.
B．It encourages you to take time to enjoy your stay.
C．It encourages a new and calm lifestyle.
D．It is mainly connected with local food.
45．From what P ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )auline said in Paragraph 3，we can infer that slow travelers ________.
A．prefer to make friends with local people
B．think it less important to know an area well
C．have something left to see on the next trip
D．try to put as many sights as possible into one trip
46．The purpose of this passage is ________.
A．to introduce a way of travel
B．to introduce a new way of life
C．to compare different kinds of travel
D．to show how traveling affects our life

There are many s ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )cientists that study people who often lived hundreds or even thousands of years ago.We call them anthropologists.Items those primitive men，women，and children left behind when they died—everything from clothing to jewelry and tools—tell anthropologists a lot.And sometimes even their words survive.
Experts believe that ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )a discovery in Mexico is the oldest example of writing ever found in America.The people who created it probably lived 3,000 years ago，long before Christopher Columbus arrived in the New World.【来源：21·世纪·教育·网】
Workers digging in ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )a rock mine happened to notice a stone block with marks carved onto its surface.They found the large piece of stone near the city of Cascajal，Mexico，which was once the capital of an ancient people called the Olmec.
“There are signs ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )on the block that seem to show objects used by the Olmec during their religious ceremonies，”says Dr Stephen Houston，of Brown University in the US.“There is a sign that looks very similar to a knife and another that looks like the chair of a King，”he explains.
Houston，an exper ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t on the writing systems of ancient cultures，says the discovery is exciting because “it makes clear that the Olmec could read and write.It is like hearing voices from the past.”
But experts don't k ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )now exactly what the writing says.Finding other examples of Olmec writing could help decipher_the_puzzle.
“We could have wh ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ole sets of ancient writing which will basically make ancient people speak to us directly，”says Houston.“There are many puzzles to be solved，and this is just one of them.”
47．According to th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e passage，in order to learn more about the past，what items do scientists often use
A．Knives and chairs.
B．Books and stones.
C．People and animals.
D．Clothing and jewelry.
48．Why are scientists interested in ancient languages
A．Because they can learn stories told during that time.
B．Because they can speak directly with ancient people.
C．Because it can allow them to understand ancient societies better.
D．Because it will help learn about the origins of modern languages.
49．Which of the fol ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )lowing can replace the underlined expression in Paragraph 6 【来源：21cnj*y.co*m】
A．Find the meaning of the Olmec language.
B．Discover when the Olmec people lived.
C．Learn why the Olmec civilization disappeared.
D．Learn how to speak Olmec.
50．Which is probably the BEST title for the passage
A．New Language Discovered
B．World's First Book
C．Oldest Writing In The New World
D．What Does It Say

The archaeologist ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s in our city found a large site of ancient ruins last week.However，whether to excavate it has aroused arguments among the local citizens.
Those who are in f ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )avour of excavating it hold the opinion that it will contribute a lot to the study of the local history.Furthermore，the government may make good use of the site to make up for the lack of tourist resources in our city.
But others believ ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e that our excavating technique is not advanced enough，considering that the ancient ruins are easily destroyed if carelessly dealt with.They also claim that the excavation and the protection of historical relics will undoubtedly cost a large sum of money.
In my opinio ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )n，it is the most important to perfectly preserve the historical relics while we have no experience and skills to excavate such a big site of ancient ruins.

Ⅳ.阅读理解
The ancient Maya built many large cities in what is known as their classic period, which lasted from about 250 A．D. until about 900.Each city had its own king and ruling class.The cities traded with one another，but often fought as well.Around the year 900，the Maya abandoned many of their cities.
Archaeologists and other scientists have long puzzled over why the Maya left.They have examined the cities carefully，and studied the settlements that surround them.In Copan they found many tools dating from 500 to about 1,000 and a few tools dating from about 1,000 to 1,200.They found that no new monuments had been built after 822.From plant remains，they concluded that the area around Copan had been farmland，and other evidence suggested that the land had been overfarmed.In view of the evidence，the scientists concluded that a large population had lived in Copan until about 1,000，but that as more people farmed the land，the soil had lost its richness and produced fewer crops，causing the Maya there to suffer from malnutrition(营养不良)，as an analysis of skulls has shown.As a result，people began to leave Copan around the year 1,000.
War may also have caused the Maya to abandon some of their cities.For example，it is thought that a rival(敌对) city，Caracol，may have once conquered Tikal.100 years later Tikal returned to power，and the ruling family built temples to honour its victory.However，by the end of the 800s，Tikal was no longer powerful，and its inhabitants left.Although we do not know for certain why many ancient Maya abandoned their cities，today's Maya may provide us with clues.The modern Maya still live on the lands in Mexico and Guatemala that their ancestors occupied.Many present day Maya still have ancient beliefs and farming practices，and studying these may help us discover more about ancient Maya culture.
1．According to the text，we know that Copan flourished from ________.
A．500 to 822 B．250 to 900
C．822 to 1,000 D．1,000 to 1,200
2．In Copan，scientists found evidence that the Maya ________.
A．had been defeated by the people of Caracol
B．had overfarmed the land and suffered from poor health
C．had been involved in a conflict with Tikal
D．had left the city because of a war
3．It's probable that scientists will not agree on why the Maya abandoned their cities ________.
A．until more cities are found
B．without more physical evidence
C．until modern practices are better understood
D．without comparing the Maya to other ancient cultures
4．The scientists think studying the beliefs and practices of the modern Maya will help them understand ancient Mayan civilization because the modern Maya ________.
A．are identical to the ancient ones
B．have the best farming practices
C．know what their ancient civilization was like
D．carry on some of their ancestors' beliefs and practices

课时作业(九)
Ⅰ.1.analysis 2.starvation 3.assume 4.Accuracy
5．category 6.ripen 7.primitive 8.alternative 9.interrupt 10.sharpened
Ⅱ.1.D 句意：道路因为严重的交通事故而被堵住了，于是我们走了另一条路。alternative“供选择的；其他的”；another不可与an连用。
2．D foresee预见，预知；assume假定，设想；direct指挥，管理；determine决定。根据句意“你现在所做的将决定你毕业后的工作。”可知选D项。
3．A 句意：很抱歉打扰你，我可以问你一个问题吗？interrupt打断，中断，插嘴；assume假定，假设；analyse分析；finish结束，完成。
4．C 考查情态动词。should have done意为“本应该做却未做”；could用于对过去的否定推测，couldn't have done意为“不可能做过”；must have done表示对过去的肯定推测，意为“肯定做过……”；已经做过……”；might have done意为“可能已经做过”。上句意为：她看起来很高兴。她肯定是通过了考试。故选C。
5．B cut out“删除，裁剪”；cut up“切碎，剁碎”；cut down“砍倒，削减，降低”；cut off“切断，隔绝”。句意：这儿只有一块糖，因此她把它切成了几小块，并分给孩子们。只有B项符合句意。
6．D 考查非谓语动词。主语we与assume之间是主动关系，所以用现在分词assuming表主动。此时，assuming已转化为连词，意为“假设”。
7．B 句意：不管天气如何，运动会将准时召开。in favor of“支持”；regardless of“不管，不顾”；in terms of“关于，就……而言”；in case of“以防，万一”。
8．C arbitrary“(行动、决定、规章等)任意的，随心所欲的”；definite“肯定的，确定的”；tentative“(会议、协议、安排等)不确定的，暂定的”；primitive“原始的，先前的”。语境为“这仅仅是为了讨论而临时的计划”，所以C项合适。
9．A 句意：这个强盗至多跑出去了半英里，你如果加速开的话，你会抓住他的。at most“最多”，符合句意。
10．B sharpen“使锋利”；ripen“使(水果、庄稼等)成熟”；mature“使(人、动物、树木)成熟”；grow“成长，长大”。根据句意“一些水果和蔬菜是用化学药品催熟的，看起来漂亮，但味道不好”可知选B。
11．B 句意：由于大旱，如果没有来自全国的帮助，很多人将会饿死，starve to death“饿死”。符合句意。
12．C 考查强调句型，强调on the road to the north of the town地点状语。
13．C 句意：作为一个学生，他必须把足够的时间用在学习上，这是不用怀疑的。ample“充足的，丰富的”。
14．C 句意：他三天都没有睡觉了，难怪他精疲力竭。there's no point(in) doing sth.“做某事没有意义”；there is no need to do sth.“没有必要做某事”；it's no wonder(that)．..“难怪……”；no way“决不，没门儿”，后面不接句子。
15．B 题干的意思是：“博物馆将在春季开放，届时将有一个展览，还有一个观光平台，在这里参观者可以看到许多在建的大玻璃暖房。”分析句子结构可知，________ visitors can watch the big glasshouses being built为定语从句，a viewing platform为定语从句的先行词，从句缺少地点状语，要用where引导，所以正确答案为B项。
Ⅲ.1.B 根据文章最后几句话可知，文章讲的是季节(season)的更换。
2．B Zeus是宇宙之神，是众神的统治者。从下文可以看出，不仅Demeter和Hades之间的矛盾需要Zeus的调解，而且他们的想法也要取得Zeus的同意。
3．A 根据上文的“Hades...fell in love with Persephone...”以及后文的“...agree to the marriage...”可知，Hades想娶Persephone为妻。
4．A 此处指的是Zeus既不会同意这桩婚事，也不会禁止。
5．D 根据下文可知，Hades是抢走Persephone，即没有得到允许。
6．D find out“查明(真相)”；let out“放开，放出”；work out“算出”；think out“想出”。只有选项D最符合语境。
7．C 后文说Demeter决定要让所有植物停止生长，可见她很生气(angry)。
8．C 根据第9空处的内容可知，此处指她使所有植物停止生长。
9．A in danger of“处于……的危险中”；in the hope of“怀有……的希望”；in turn“依次”；in case of“以防万一”。根据后文的starving可知，此题填danger最佳。
10．B not...until意为“直到……才”，此处指的是她要到她女儿回来才让植物生长。
11．B 根据其后的“still not wanting to disappoint Hades...”可知答案。
12．A 此处指Persephone回到她母亲身边。
13．C 根据下文的“...Persephone had eaten several pomegranate seeds...”可知答案。
14．D 根据上下文的语境看，Demeter接受了Zeus的条件。
15．A 此处指“发现”事情真相。
16．B 根据下文的“...she must spend part of the year in the underworld.”可知此处应选mother。
17．C 句中的it为形式主语，真正的主语是that引导的主语从句。此处的意思是“……就这样发生了”。
18．D 比较四个选项，只有will最符合语境。
19．C that is why...的意思是“这就是……的原因”。
20．D 当Persephone回来时，Demeter很高兴，所以就是春天，植物开始生长。
Ⅳ.1.A 根据第二段可知，在公元500年至1,000年期间大量的农具被发现；1,000年至1,200年间只发现少量的农具；但是在822年之后就没有新的遗迹出土了，故可推知，科潘城的繁荣时期应该定位在公元500至822年期间。
2．B 根据第二段可知，人们对农田的过度开垦导致土地营养的流失最终导致那里的古玛雅人营养不良。故选B项。
3．B 根据第二段和第三段可知研究人员为了弄明白为什么玛雅人放弃了他们赖以生存的城池故土，找了很多证据来证明，所以可以推出B项正确。
4．D 根据尾段可知，科学家们之所以认为研究现代玛雅人的信仰及风俗习惯有助于了解古玛雅文明，是因为现代玛雅人传承了古玛雅人的一些信仰及风俗习惯。故选D项。
Ⅴ.1.It is assumed that intelligence will show the way to a solution. 2.He says what he thinks，regardless of other people's feelings. 3.We have no alternative but to do it. 4.He has given an acute analysis of this situation. 5.We have been excavating here for many years.课时作业(十) Using Language

Have you ever heard of the lost continent of Atlantis Where was the lost continent of Atlantis？In 1956 a Greek seismologist (地震学家) suggested that the great continent lay in the eastern Mediterranean Sea.More specifically south of Greece on the island of Santorini，which was called Thera in 1650 BC.
Plato，a great Greek poet and historian，was interested in an ancient Egyptian story of a civilization，which Plato called Atlantis.He described Atlantis as the greatest civilization of its time.The people were famous for their beauty and their culture.Plato wrote about this beautiful place one thousand years after it was destroyed.His translation of the language of those ancient Egyptian writings was questionable.He also put the time of the disaster to be about 9,000 years，about 10 times earlier than it could have really occurred according to most historians.
What happened to wipe this great civilization off the face of the Earth？A great volcanic eruption was the cause.A volcano named Santorini exploded and it blew most of the island into the heavens.When the caldera(火山口) formed，the tsunamis (海啸) produced by the crashing of the top of the volcano wiped out many cities and towns in the eastern Mediterranean.This tsunami was reported to have reached the height of over 300 feet.The earthquakes produced knocked down walls 100 miles away！Historians believe these sea waves were what caused the end of the great civilization in the Mediterranean.
Archaeologists have recovered artifacts(史前古器) from the island lately that show a great ancient civilization was present on Thera about 3,800 years ago.It helps us to believe that Santorini may be the “Lost Continent of Atlantis”！
1．When was Atlantis destroyed by most historians
A．2,000 years ago.
B．9,000 years ago.
C．900 years ago.
D．3,800 years ago.
2．What caused the production of a huge tsunami over 300 feet tall
A．The form of caldera.
B．The crashing of the top of the volcano.
C．The great earthquake.
D．The great sea waves.
3．In the last paragraph，“it” probably refers to ________.
A．the island of Santorini
B．the ancient Egyptian history
C．Plato's description
D．the discovery of these artifacts
4．The passage is most likely to be found in ________.
A．a history report
B．a story book
C．a travel guide
D．a technological report
B
The Roman Empire was so big that there were a lot of different people with different cultures living in it，so you can't really say there was one way of living in the Roman Empire.
People of minority races or cultures would probably feel lucky to have lived under the Roman Empire.There were people of so many different cultures travelling around the empire interacting with each other that there had been in general a lot of tolerance(容忍) for other cultures.On the other hand，this contact did also cause tensions，which sometimes broke into violent killings of minority groups.
People were forced into slavery in every corner of the Roman Empire，but the way slaves were treated depended on where you were and also on when.Big farms were usually worked by slave field hands.But other slaves were house servants，like nurses，cooks，and boys who took care of the horses and they were generally better treated.A lot of slaves also worked for the Roman government，or for private businesses，as managers，or running a shop，or in small factories.
All over the Roman Empire，many boys in cities seem to have gone to school，but most girls had to stay at home.Out in the countryside, probably hardly anyone could read or write.Very few people went to college，but those that did often travelled far from home，to Athens or Alexandria in Egypt，for a good education.
Partly at school，and partly through their families or just playing ball games outside，kids all over the Roman Empire did have lots of friends.Girls and boys from rich families，however，were not allowed to get romantic together.Most marriages among the upper classes were arranged by the parents，but case was probably different for the poor.
5．What life was like for people of minority races in the Roman Empire
A．Life for them was too hard to bear.
B．They couldn't communicate with people of other cultures.
C．They were forced to give up their own culture.
D．Life for them was comfortable in a way.
6．Of the following kinds of slaves，which group may be badly treated
A．House servants.
B．Slaves working on farms.
C．Boys taking care of horses.
D．Slaves running a small shop.
7．Which of the following statements is TRUE to education in Roman Empire
A．Education was open to both rich and poor people.
B．In the countryside，only boys could receive education.
C．People could not get college education in Roman Empire.
D．Most of the girls were not allowed to go to school.
8．What would be the BEST title of the passage
A．Ancient Roman Empire
B．Ancient Roman Slavery
C．Ancient Roman People
D．Ancient Roman Education

2．C 句意：他讨厌一些教授做的演讲。意思是他厌烦那些讲话。be fed up with意为“厌烦”。

2．B 根据第三段的“...the tsunamis(海啸)produced by the crashing of the top of the volcano...”可知海啸的发生是因为火山顶部的塌陷。
3．D 根据末段的“Archaeologists have recovered artifacts...”可知考古学家在岛屿附近发现了一些史前古器，就是这些发现让人们相信圣托里尼就是传说中神秘消失的亚特兰蒂斯。
4．A 文章主要的内容是关于传说中沉没于大西洋的岛屿，这是历史方面的话题。
5．D 根据第二段的首句“People of minority races or cultures would probably feel lucky to have lived under the Roman Empire.”以及后面一句中提到的“...there had been in general a lot of tolerance for other cultures.”可以推断，来自少数民族或文化的人在罗马帝国生活得还算舒适。
6．B 第三段中提到不同的奴隶所受到的待遇不同；先是提到了在农场上干活的奴隶；然后提到了“...house servants...boys who took care of the horses...”，紧接着说他们所受的待遇要好一些；然后又提到了一些努力为政府或私人企业干活、甚至是当上经理或者经营商店，这说明这类奴隶的生活也可以，由此判断待遇最差的是在农场上干活的奴隶们。
7．D 根据第四段的“...but most girls had to stay at home.”可知D项正确。
8．C 文章提到了在罗马帝国生活的来自少数民族和文化的人，提到了被迫成为奴隶的人，提到了罗马帝国下孩子的教育，以及婚姻等，这些都是以“人”为中心，因此最佳答案为C项。
