[2024·陕西西安高二期末考试]
Archaeologists in Egypt have unearthed a Sphinx statue (狮身人面像) with a smiley face near the Hathor Temple, one of the country’s best preserved ancient sites. The smiling Sphinx is much smaller than the famous Sphinx in Giza, which is 20 metres high. The stone work of art, believed to be a stylized representation of an ancient Roman emperor, was found inside a two-level tomb near the temple in southern Egypt.
Next to the beautifully and accurately carved Sphinx, researchers had found a Roman stone written in hieroglyph (象形文字). Once fully translated, the stone may unveil the identity of the sculpted ruler, who could be Emperor Claudius.
The smiling Sphinx is among a series of discoveries announced over the past few months. The country has uncovered major archaeological discoveries in recent months, primarily in the Saqqara cemetery (墓地) south of Cairo as well as in Giza, home to the only surviving structure of the seven wonders of the ancient world. Recently, Egypt announced the discovery of a hidden nine-metre passage inside the Great Pyramid of Giza, which may lead to the actual burial room of pharaoh (法老) Khufu, or Cheops. Further south, in Luxor, archaeologists had discovered a 1,800-year-old complete residential city from the Roman times.
Hathor Temple, about 500 kilometres south of the capital Cairo, was home to the Dendera Zodiac, a heavenly map which has been displayed at the Louvre in Paris for more than a century. Since Frenchman Sebastien Louis Saulnier took it out of the temple in 1922, Egypt has been attempting to get it back.
Some experts see such announcements as having more political and economic weight than scientific, as Egypt is counting on tourism to revive its vital tourism industry in a severe economic crisis. The government aims to draw in 30 million tourists a year by 2028.
( )1.What do we know about the smiling Sphinx
A.Its owner was confirmed as an ancient Roman ruler.
B.It has been the best-preserved Sphinx till now.
C.It is as high as 20 metres like the Sphinx of Giza.
D.It was discovered close to the Hathor Temple.
( )2.What does the underlined word “unveil” in Paragraph 2 probably mean
A.Reveal. B.Seek.
C.Deny. D.Maintain.
( )3.What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about
A.The diversity of cultural relics in Egypt.
B.The discoveries made recently in Egypt.
C.The status of the Great Pyramid of Giza.
D.The new discovery about pharaoh Khufu.
( )4.What does Egypt expect most from the recent discoveries
A.Scientific progress.
B.Political position.

[2024·陕西西安高二期末考试]
Archaeologists in Egypt have unearthed a Sphinx statue
(狮身人面像) with a smiley face near the Hathor Temple, one of the
country's best preserved ancient sites. The smiling Sphinx is much
smaller than the famous Sphinx in Giza, which is 20 metres high.
The stone work of art, believed to be a stylized representation of
an ancient Roman emperor, was found inside a two-level tomb
near the temple in southern Egypt.

Next to the beautifully and accurately carved Sphinx,
researchers had found a Roman stone written in hieroglyph
(象形文字). Once fully translated, the stone may unveil the identity
of the sculpted ruler, who could be Emperor Claudius.
The smiling Sphinx is among a series of discoveries announced
over the past few months. The country has uncovered major
archaeological discoveries in recent months, primarily in the
Saqqara cemetery (墓地) south of Cairo as well as in Giza, home to
the only surviving structure of the seven wonders of the ancient

world. Recently, Egypt announced the discovery of a hidden nine-
metre passage inside the Great Pyramid of Giza, which may lead to
the actual burial room of pharaoh (法老) Khufu, or Cheops. Further
south, in Luxor, archaeologists had discovered a 1,800-year-old
complete residential city from the Roman times.
Hathor Temple, about 500 kilometres south of the capital Cairo,
was home to the Dendera Zodiac, a heavenly map which has been
displayed at the Louvre in Paris for more than a century. Since
Frenchman Sebastien Louis Saulnier took it out of the temple in
1922, Egypt has been attempting to get it back.

Some experts see such announcements as having more political
and economic weight than scientific, as Egypt is counting on
tourism to revive its vital tourism industry in a severe economic
crisis. The government aims to draw in 30 million tourists a year
by 2028.
