八、阅读理解
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
the
case
was
probably
different
for
the
poor.
1．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.
2．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.
3．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.
4．From
the
passage，we
can
learn
that
______.A．there
were
probably
many
different
ways
of
living
in
Roman
Empire
B．under
Roman
law，marriages
shall
be
arranged
by
parents
C．children
living
in
the
countryside
of
Roman
Empire
often
felt
lonely
D．boys
in
the
upper
class
could
receive
free
education
in
Roman
Empire
5．What
would
be
the
best
title
of
the
passage
A．Ancient
Roman
Empire
B．Ancient
Roman
Slavery
C．Ancient
Roman
People
D．Ancient

八、1．答案：D
解析：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。
2．答案：B
解析：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；然后又提到了一些奴隶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。
3．答案：D
解析：根据第四段的“...but
most
girls
had
to
stay
at
home.”可知D项正确。
4．答案：A
解析：根据第一段的内容“罗马帝国那么大，有那么多来自不同文化的人，因此很难说在罗马帝国只有一种生活方式”，即在罗马帝国很可能有多种生活方式；根据文章末句可知B项错误；根据末段首句可知C项错误；D项在文章中没有依据。
5．答案：C
解析：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。自我小测

六、完形填空The
cultures
of
the
East
and
the
West
really
distinguish
from
each
other
a
lot.This
is
because
the
culture
systems
are
two
separate
systems
__1__.
The
origin
of
the
eastern
cultures
is
mainly
from
two
countries：China
and
India.Both
of
the
two
cultures
are
gestated(孕育)
by
__2__.In
China，the
mother
river
is
the
Yellow
River
__3__
the
Indian
one
is
the
Hindu
River.These
two
cultures
were
__4__
for
several
thousand
years
and
formed
their
own
styles.Then
in
the
Tang
Dynasty
of
China，the
Chinese
culture
__5__
went
overseas
to
Japan，__6__
into
the
Japanese
society
and
__7__
the
Japanese
culture
nowadays.Though
a
bit
different
from
the
Chinese
one，it
__8__
to
the
same
system.When
the
two
mother
rivers
gave
birth
to
the
eastern
culture，another
famous
culture
was
__9__
on
the
Mesopotamian
Plain(美索不达米亚平原)—the
Mesopotamian
Civilization.This
civilization
later
on
developed
into
the
cultures
of
the
Ancient
Greece
and
Ancient
Rome.And
these
two
are
well known
as
the
__10__
of
the
European
culture.__11__
the
Chinese
culture，the
European
one
also
__12__
waters.When
the
colonists
of
England
__13__
in
America，their
culture
went
with
them
over
the
Atlantic
Ocean.So
the
American
culture
doesn't
__14__
from
the
European
one
a
lot.
At
the
same
time，the
__15__
of
the
language
systems
adds
to
the
cultural
differences.In
the
East，most
languages
belong
to
the
pictographic(象形文字的)
languages
while
the
Western
languages
are
__16__
based
on
the
Latin
system，for
example，the
one
I'm
using
to
write
this
paper.
Other
factors
like
human
race
difference
__17__
as
well.However，__18__
the
far
distance
and
the
steep
areas
between

六、阅读理解
A
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．On
what
did
Plato
base
his
descriptions
of
the
lost
Atlantis
A．His
imagination.
B．Ancient
Egyptian
writings.
C．Stories
told
by
the
older
people.
D．The
research
of
other
historians.

historians
A．2,000
years
ago.
B．9,000
years
ago.

ago.

ago.

a

Archaeologists
have
discovered
the
ruins
of
an
800 year old
Aztec
pyramid
in
the
heart
of
the
Mexican
capital
that
could
show
the
ancient
city
is
at
least
a
century
older
than
previously
thought.
Mexican
archaeologists
found
the
ruins，which
are
about
11
metres
high，in
the
central
Tlatelolco
area，once
a
major
religious
and
political
centre
for
the
Aztec
elite(上层集团)．
Since
the
discovery
of
another
pyramid
15
years
ago，historians
have
thought
Tlatelolco
was
founded
by
the
Aztecs
in
1325，the
same
year
as
the
nearby
twin
city
of
Tenochtitlan，the
capital
of
the
Aztec
empire.The
Spanish
seized
Tenochtitlan
in
1521
to
found
Mexico
City，conquering
the
Aztecs.
The
pyramid
newly
discovered
last
month
as
part
of
an
investigation
begun
in
August，could
have
been
built
in
1100
or
1200，indicating
the
Aztecs
began
to
develop
their
civilization
in
the
mountains
of
central
Mexico
earlier
than
believed.“We
have
found
the
stairs
of
this，much
older，pyramid.The
(Aztec)
time
line
is
going
to
need
to
be
revised，”archaeologist
Patricaia
Ledesma
said
at
the
site
on
Thursday.
Tlatelolco，visited
by
thousands
of
tourists
for
its
pre Hispanic
ruins
and
colonial era
Spanish
church
and
convent，is
also
infamous
for
the
1968
massacre
of
leftist
students
by
state
security
forces
there，days
before
Mexico
hosted
the
Olympic
Games.
Ms
Ledesma
and
the
archaeological
group's
coordinator，Salvador
Guilliem，said
they
would
continue
to
dig
and
study
the
area
the
next
year
to
get
a
better
idea
of
the
pyramid's
size
and
age.
The
archaeologists
also
have
detected
a
sculpture
that
could
be
of
the
Aztec
rain
god
Tlaloc，or
of
the
god
of
the
sky
and
earth
Tezcatlipoca.
In
addition，the
dig
has
turned
up
five
skulls
and
a
series
of
rooms
near
the
pyramid
that
could
date
from
1431.
“What
we
hope
to
find
soon
should
tell
us
much
more
about
the
society
of
Tlatelolco，”said
Ms
Ledesma.
Mexico
City
is
littered
with
pre Hispanic
ruins.In
August，archaeologists
in
the
city's
crime ridden
Iztapalapa
district
unearthed
what
they
believe
may
be
the
main
pyramid
of
Tenochtitlan.
The
Aztecs，a
warlike
and
religious
people
who
built
monumental
works
and
are
credited
with
inventing
chocolate，ruled
an
empire
stretching
from
the
Gulf
of
Mexico
to
the
Pacific
Ocean
and
encompassing
much
of
modern day
central
Mexico.5．The
latest
discovery
would
show
that
Tlatelolco
was
probably
built
about
______.
A．in
1431
B．in
1225
C．in
1325
D．in
1521
6．The
following
sentences
about
the
Aztec
empire
are
true
EXCEPT
______.
A．it
was
a
religious
empire
B．it
was
once
a
powerful
empire
C．Tlatelolco
was
its
capital
D．it
was
once
under
the
control
of
Spanish
7．The
passage
is
mainly
about
______.
A．a
great
finding
in

B．the
history
of
the
Aztec
empire
C．the

D．the
