The Mogao Grottoes are located at the western end of the Hexi Corridor along the ancient Silk Road in Dunhuang, China. Until now, most mural paintings at the Mogao Grottoes have been dated by directly referring to the mural texts or historical documents. However, some are still left with the creation era (年代) uncertain due to the lack of reference materials or the disagreement of art experts.
The drawing style of mural paintings was changing throughout history and can be learned and quantified through painting data. A new dating method has been developed by encoding (把……编码) the drawing styles using visual codes learned through deep learning.This new method successfully discovered the creation era of six mural paintings at the Mogao Grottoes, which was notable progress. This new research work is led by Qingquan Li from Shenzhen University.
With the help of experts from the Dunhuang Academy, seven mural paintings from two grottoes (No. 205 and No. 206) were chosen as subjects for this dating research.
To reveal the creation era of these paintings, Qin Zou, a researcher from Wuhan University, collected 3,860 mural paintings from 194 different grottoes with confirmed creation era labels. To find the visual codes that can identify the era in these paintings, the authors constructed a deep convolutional neural network (卷积神经网络) and classified these painting images according to the right era. Based on the classification model, a dating method was built and applied to dating the seven paintings.
Six of the new dating results were approved by experts from the Dunhuang Academy. “These dating results are correct and the method is great,” said Mr. Hui Min Wang, a distinguished expert from the Archaeological Institute of the Dunhuang Academy.
“To the best of our knowledge,” wrote the researchers, “this work represents the first account of a scientific and quantitative manner to support the era prediction and reduce the uncertainties in dating ancient paintings by using deep learning.”
1.In which way can most mural paintings at the Mogao Grottoes be directly dated
A.By checking painting data. B.By identifying the drawing styles.
C.By referring to reference materials. D.By adopting a convolutional neural network.
2.What can be learned about the new dating method
A.It requires a large number of visual codes.
B.It dated the seven chosen mural paintings correctly.
C.It was developed by experts in the Dunhuang Academy.
D.It involves collecting information from the mural texts.
3.What is Paragraph 4 mainly about
A.The importance of creation era labels. B.How the classification model was created.
C.The influence of the new dating research. D.Why the researcher chose 3,860 mural paintings.
4.What was Mr. Wang’s attitude toward this new method

Discoveries at the famous Sanxingdui Ruins site in Southwest China show that the region’s ancient Shu Kingdom civilisation shared similarities with Maya civilisation.
The Sanxingdui Ruins site, located in the city of Guanghan, about 60 kilometers from Chengdu, belonged to the ancient Shu Kingdom that existed at least 4,800 years ago and lasted more than 2,000 years, while Maya civilisation built its city states around 200 AD.
The bronze made remains of trees unearthed at the ruins of the ancient Shu Kingdom resemble the sacred ceiba tree, which symbolized the union of heaven, earth and the underworld in Maya civilisation. “It is a very important similarity,” says Santos, a Mexican archaeologist, stressing that “the representations of trees in both cultures provide a kind of symbolism that is very similar”.
While the time period of the ancient Shu Kingdom and the Maya culture is greatly different, the findings highlight the closeness between the two civilisations. They developed in areas with comparable climates and reflected their world views through related symbols. “In the end, man is still man, independent of time and space. What we have is that, at the latitude both the ancient Shu people and the Maya looked at the same sky and had the same stars on the horizon,” the expert says.
One notable feature of the recent discoveries at the Sanxingdui Ruins site was the cross subject work and technology applied by teams of Chinese archaeologists, which allowed the unearthing of artifacts to be as fragile as silk remains.
Cooperation between Chinese and Mexican archaeologists could benefit projects in the Maya world, where the rainy climate and humidity are problematic for the conservation of ruins.
“Every time our cultural knowledge increases, regardless of whether we speak the same language or not, what it shows us is that we continue to be sister cultures and, therefore, the exchange of such knowledge is fundamental,” says Santos.
5.What is a similarity between the ancient Shu Kingdom and Maya civilisation
A.Their starting time. B.Their historical origins.
C.Their cultural symbols. D.Their ceremony traditions.
6.What is a common challenge for the conservation of both ruins
A.Damp weather. B.Locating of ruins. C.High latitude. D.Language barriers.
7.What is the focus of Santos’ words in the last paragraph
A.The future of the China Mexico cooperation.
B.The benefits of speaking a different language.
C.The importance of the exchange of cultural knowledge.
D.The increasing sisterhood in culture between China and Mexico.
8.Where is this text most likely from
A.A historical novel. B.A newspaper. C.A biography. D.A guidebook.

Chinese archaeologists announced on Saturday that six “sacrificial pits”, 1 (date) back 3,200 to 4,000 years, were newly discovered in the Sanxingdui Ruins site in Guanghan, southwest China’s Sichuan Province.

◎语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了研究人员已经开发出一种新的测年方法来准确地确定中国莫高窟古代壁画的年代。
1.C 细节理解题。根据第一段第二句“Until now, most mural paintings at the Mogao Grottoes have been dated by directly referring to the mural texts or historical documents.”和第三句尤其是其中的“due to the lack of reference materials”可知,通过参考材料,如壁画文字或历史文献等,可以直接确定壁画的年代。故选C。
2.A 细节理解题。根据第二段第二句“A new dating method has been developed by encoding the drawing styles using visual codes learned through deep learning.”及第四段中的“To reveal the creation era of...collected 3,860 mural paintings...To find the visual codes...in these paintings...the right era.”可知,新的测年方法需要在大量的壁画作品中提取大量的视觉代码从而对绘画风格进行编码。故选A。
3.B 主旨大意题。根据第四段内容中的“收集了3,860幅有确定年代标签的壁画→构建深度卷积神经网络并将绘画图像按照正确的年代分类→基于分类模型,建立并应用了测年方法”可知,第四段主要介绍了分类模型是如何创建的。故选B。
4.C 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中王先生的话“These dating results are correct and the method is great (这些测年结果是正确的,这种方法很棒)”可推知,王先生对这种新的测年方法持肯定态度。故选C。A.怀疑的;B.批评的;D.不感兴趣的,冷淡的。

◎语篇解读 这是一篇新闻报道。文章主要报道了中国西南部著名的三星堆遗址的发现表明,该地区的古蜀国文明与玛雅文明有相似之处,并介绍了保护这两个遗址的共同挑战和文化交流的重要性。
5.C 细节理解题。根据第三段可知,在古蜀国遗址出土的青铜器制成的树木遗迹类似于木棉圣树,在玛雅文明中,木棉圣树象征着天堂、人间和阴间的结合;墨西哥考古学家桑托斯说,这是非常重要的相似之处,在两种文化中树的表现形式的象征意义非常相似。综合以上信息可知,古蜀国和玛雅文明的一个相似之处是文化符号。故选C。
6.A 细节理解题。结合第四段第二句中的“They developed in areas with comparable climates (它们是在气候相似的地方发展起来的)”和倒数第二段内容“中国和墨西哥考古学家间的合作可能对玛雅世界的项目有益,玛雅文明所在地多雨的气候和湿度令遗址的保护十分困难”可知,这两处遗址的所在地有类似的气候,即多雨、潮湿,因此保护这两处遗址的共同挑战是潮湿的天气。故选A。

Ⅲ.◎语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。中国西南部四川省广汉市三星堆遗址新发现了六个距今3,200年至4,000年的“祭祀坑”,这使得考古热在网民中再次蔓延。因此,国内几家博物馆推出的“考古盲盒”在大型网购平台上流行起来,“考古盲盒”让网民体验了考古的乐趣。
1.dating 考查现在分词。句意:中国考古学家星期六宣布,在中国西南的四川省广汉市三星堆遗址新发现了六个距今3,200年至4,000年的“祭祀坑”。分析句子结构可知that引导的是宾语从句,其中six “sacrificial pits”为主语,were discovered为谓语,因此设空处应用非谓语动词。date back与其逻辑主语six “sacrificial pits”之间为主动关系,所以用现在分词作后置定语。
2.were 考查时态和主谓一致。句意:三星堆再次激起网民的兴趣,一些人甚至渴望能有一些实际操作的体验。分析句子结构可知,and连接两个并列分句,根据前面分句中的“intrigued”和语境可知应用一般过去时;and后的分句的主语为 some (指some netizens), 谓语应用复数形式,故填were。
3.buyers 考查名词。句意:因此,中国几家博物馆推出的“考古盲盒”在一个大型网购平台上流行起来,买家表示,这些盲盒让他们“体验到了作为考古学家挖掘文物的乐趣”。根据空前的介词with可知设空处应用名词作with的宾语;根据句意可知设空处表示“买家”,应用名词buyer。buyer为可数名词,空前无冠词等限定词,应用复数形式。故填buyers。
4.to sweep 考查动词不定式。句意:用洛阳铲和刷子除去泥土,挖一个盲盒,你就可以收获一件商代青铜器或一个宋代瓷瓶。use sth. to do sth.意为“用某物来做某事”。故填to sweep。
5.or 考查连词。句意同上。根据句意可知,“商代青铜器”和“宋代瓷瓶”之间为选择关系,故填or。
6.with/among 考查介词。“be popular with/among...”意为“受……欢迎”。故填 with或among。
7.are sold 考查时态、语态和主谓一致。句意:大多数盲盒一补货就卖完了。此处应用一般现在时,描述一个客观的事实;主语Most of the blind boxes与sell之间为被动关系,应用被动语态,且主语为复数,故填are sold。
8.lucky 考查形容词。句意:那些足够幸运下了订单的人在网上分享了他们挖盲盒的经历。分析句子结构可知,who引导的定语从句为主系表结构,“形容词+enough to do sth.”表示“足够……做某事”,则设空处应用形容词作表语。此处表示“幸运的”,故填lucky。
9.their 考查代词。设空处修饰名词experience,应用they的形容词性物主代词形式,表示“他们的”,故填their。
10.an 考查冠词。句意:“戴着手套,我觉得自己像一个考古学家!”有个人说道。archaeologist为可数名词,根据句意可知此处表示 “一个考古学家”,表泛指,应用不定冠词,且archaeologist以元音音素开头,故填an。
【高频词汇】 1.eager adj.热切的,渴望的 2.harvest v.收获 3.place an order订购;下单
【差距词汇】 1.netizen n.网民 2.roll out正式推出(新产品) 3.integrate v.(使)合并,使融入

长难句 原句 Therefore, archaeological blind boxes rolled out by several museums in China were becoming a trend on a major online shopping platform, with buyers saying that these blind boxes allowed them to “experience the joys of digging cultural relics as an archaeologist”.
分析 本句为主从复合句。句中过去分词短语“rolled out by several museums in China”修饰archaeological blind boxes。“with buyers saying that...”为with的复合结构作状语,其中saying后是that引导的宾语从句,作saying的宾语。
译文 因此,中国几家博物馆推出的“考古盲盒”在一个大型网购平台上流行起来,买家表示,这些盲盒让他们“体验到了作为考古学家挖掘文物的乐趣”。
