I like challenges, but this one was almost too difficult. I had begged Mom to take me on a completely new adventure for my sixteenth birthday. Now, here we were, just Mom and me with our guide, Milo, standing on the shore of Lake Arenal in Costa Rica.
Milo helped us onto our horses. Getting on the back of my horse was difficult, but controlling it was a little easier. We started on our ride. The guidebook said we would cross three rivers. As we tried to go through a gentle stream, I asked hopefully, “Is this the first river ” “I don't think so, Katie,” Mom said.
Soon enough, we came to a real river. I felt sick to my stomach when I saw that the far shore was half a football field away! The four-foot-deep river flowed over large rocks. So much for dry shoes or jeans.
After two more rivers, the path got steeper and muddier. The rainforest was splendid and absolutely beautiful. But I wondered whether my horse could keep its balance in knee-high mud. Three frightening hours later, we came to a corral (畜栏). I wondered whether we were stopping. To one side was a wonderful view of the lake and volcano, and to the other, a brightly painted restaurant. “OK,” I laughed nervously. “That was frightening, but I'm so glad we did it! ”

Eating out seems to have been as popular 5, 000 years ago as it is today, with archaeologists in Iraq uncovering an ancient tavern dating back to 2, 700 BC. Researchers working in the ancient city of Lagash discovered the pub. It was hidden just 19 inches below the surface, which was split into (分成) an open-air dining area and a room with benches, an oven, ancient food and even a 5, 000-year-old “fridge”.
They first found themselves in the open courtyard space, an area that was difficult to dig, being “open and exposed to the outdoors,” according to Reed Goodman, an archaeologist from the University of Pennsylvania. After returning to the ancient courtyard a few months later, field director Sara Pizzi from the University of Pisa, widened the trench (沟渠) instead of digging straight down in one spot.
The team discovered the industrial-sized oven, an ancient “fridge” to keep food cool, and dozens of bowls, many containing fish, showing the purpose of the courtyard to be an outdoor dining area.
Previous diggings focused on religious architecture and understanding the elites (上层人士) , but Holly Pittman, director of the Lagash Archaeological Project, concentrated on non-elite areas during these latest diggings to make people have a broader understanding of ancient cities. “Uncovering the pub supports the opinion of Pittman and her team that society was not organized into just elites but included ordinary people, ” Goodman said.
The discovery provides evidence into how people lived in this ancient city-state. It shows that even thousands of years ago, people enjoyed gathering in public places to socialize and enjoy food and drink.
12. What does the underlined word “tavern” in paragraph 1 refer to
A. Pub. B. City. C. Bench. D. Container.
13. How did Sara Pizzi conduct further digging
A. By digging straight down in one spot.
B. By broadening the trench in the courtyard.
C. By making a hole in the middle of the outdoor space.
D. By splitting the open-air dining area into different parts.
14. What is special about the latest digging project
A. It discovers the earliest settlers in Lagash. B. It shows the social activities of the elites.
C. It reflects the life of the ancient ordinary people. D. It focuses on studying religious architecture.
15. What is the main purpose of the text
A To share a travel experience. B. To analyze a historical event.
C. To show the wisdom of ancient people. D. To introduce an archaeological discovery.

Eating out seems to have been as popular 5, 000 years ago as it is today, with archaeologists in Iraq uncovering an ancient tavern dating back to 2, 700 BC. Researchers working in the ancient city of Lagash discovered the pub. It was hidden just 19 inches below the surface, which was split into (分成) an open-air dining area and a room with benches, an oven, ancient food and even a 5, 000-year-old “fridge”.
They first found themselves in the open courtyard space, an area that was difficult to dig, being “open and exposed to the outdoors,” according to Reed Goodman, an archaeologist from the University of Pennsylvania. After returning to the ancient courtyard a few months later, field director Sara Pizzi from the University of Pisa, widened the trench (沟渠) instead of digging straight down in one spot.
The team discovered the industrial-sized oven, an ancient “fridge” to keep food cool, and dozens of bowls, many containing fish, showing the purpose of the courtyard to be an outdoor dining area.
Previous diggings focused on religious architecture and understanding the elites (上层人士) , but Holly Pittman, director of the Lagash Archaeological Project, concentrated on non-elite areas during these latest diggings to make people have a broader understanding of ancient cities. “Uncovering the pub supports the opinion of Pittman and her team that society was not organized into just elites but included ordinary people, ” Goodman said.
The discovery provides evidence into how people lived in this ancient city-state. It shows that even thousands of years ago, people enjoyed gathering in public places to socialize and enjoy food and drink.
12. What does the underlined word “tavern” in paragraph 1 refer to
A. Pub. B. City. C. Bench. D. Container.
13. How did Sara Pizzi conduct further digging
A. By digging straight down in one spot.
B. By broadening the trench in the courtyard.
C. By making a hole in the middle of the outdoor space.
D. By splitting the open-air dining area into different parts.
14. What is special about the latest digging project
A. It discovers the earliest settlers in Lagash. B. It shows the social activities of the elites.
C. It reflects the life of the ancient ordinary people. D. It focuses on studying religious architecture.
15 What is the main purpose of the text
A. To share a travel experience. B. To analyze a historical event.
C. To show the wisdom of ancient people. D. To introduce an archaeological discovery.
【答案】12. A 13. B 14. C 15. D
【解析】

【12题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段中“Researchers working in the ancient city of Lagash discovered that the pub, hidden just 19 inches below the surface, was split into an open-air dining area and a room containing benches, an oven, ancient food remains and even a 5,000-year-old “fridge”. (在古城拉加什工作的研究人员发现，这个隐藏在地表以下19英寸的酒吧被分成了一个露天用餐区和一个房间，里面有长凳、烤箱、古代食物遗迹，甚至还有一个5000年前的“冰箱”)”可知，此处的the pub (酒吧)就是上文考古发现的tavern，因此tavern的意思是“酒吧”。故选A项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“After returning to the mysterious courtyard a few months later, field director Sara Pizzimenti from the University of Pisa, widened the trench (沟渠) instead of digging straight down vertically in one spot. (几个月后，比萨大学的现场负责人Sara Pizzimenti回到了这个神秘的庭院，他拓宽了沟渠，而不是在一个地方直接垂直挖掘)”可知，Sara Pizzimenti通过拓宽了院子里的沟渠进一步挖掘。故选B项。

(以前的挖掘主要集中在宗教建筑和对精英阶层的了解上，但拉加什考古项目主任、宾夕法尼亚大学博物馆近东区馆长Holly Pittman在最近的挖掘中把重点放在了非精英阶层地区，以使人们对古代城市有更广泛的了解)”可知，最近的挖掘项目的特别之处在于它反映了古代非精英阶层（即普通人）的生活。故选C项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文可知，文章介绍了考古人员通过拓宽一处庭院沟渠的挖掘，发现了一个可以追溯到公元前2700年的古老酒馆，这一发现反映了古代非精英阶层的生活，为人们了解这个古老城邦的生活方式提供了线索。由此可知，文章的目的在于介绍一个考古发现。故选D项。

第三节（满分15分）
57. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头续写，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I was the kind of girl who always left my things out of order all round the room, while my roommate Jane was extremely organized. Each of her things was usually in the right place, but mine always somewhere or difficult to be found. She even labeled (做标记) everything. By contrast, I always looked for everything or even depended on her to help me.
Over time, Jane got neater and I got untidier. Most of the time, she would push my dirty clothing over, and I would lay my books on her tidy desk. We both got tired of each other. War broke out one evening. Jane came into the room, looking extremely tired. Soon, I heard her shouting, “Take your shoes away! Why under my bed!” Before I knew it, I saw my shoes flying at me. I jumped to my feet and started yelling. She yelled back louder. The room was filled with anger. We could not have stayed together for a single minute if it were not because of a phone call from her mother. From her end of the conversation, I could tell right away that her grandma was seriously ill. When she hung up the phone, she quickly crawled (爬) onto her bed, crying. It was obvious that it was something she should not go through alone but at that time she had no one to share her sadness. All of a sudden, a strong feeling of pity rose up in my heart.

【答案】 At that moment, I knew that I needed to change.Slowly, I collected the pencils, took back the books, made my bed, cleaned the socks and swept the floor, even on her side. I got so into my work that I even didn't noticed Kate had sat up.She was watching, her tears dried and her expression was full of disbelief. Then, she reached out her hands to grasp mine. I looked up into her eyes. And we smiled at each other without any embarrassment. “Thanks.” said she in a low voice. We stayed roommates for the rest of the year. We didn't always agree, but we learned the key to living together: giving in, cleaning up and holding on.
【解析】
