It has long been known the ancient Egyptian rulers, or

pharaohs (法老) were buried with great ceremony and lavish

(大量的) treasures that were to be used in the other world.

Unfortunately, until 1922 no remains of any of the

pharaohs or their treasures had ever been found. In that year,

however, an archaeologist named Howard Carter and his

sponsor, Lord Carnavon, were at last successful. They found

the tomb of King Tutankhamen, who was buried 3,200 years

ago. King Tut's tomb was the first fully preserved burial site

to be uncovered in Egypt's Valley of the Kings. The two men

found the tomb to contain wonderful treasures. Gold figures

and magnificent furniture decorated with gold were found

in the myriad (许多) of secret rooms and tunnels within the

pyramid.

The only disappointment for Howard Carter came when

he found that King Tut's body was nothing but dust.

Apparently a mistake had been made when the king's

remains were mummified (使成木乃伊). Carter did,

however, find 143 pieces of jewelry within the mummy case,

mostly made of gold and precious stones.

Actually, despite all the publicity about the remarkable

finds in his tomb, Tutankhamen's reign (统治时期) as

pharaoh was short and relatively uneventful (太平的). He

died when he was just 18 years old.

A VISIT TO THE ZHOUKOUDIAN CAVES

A group of students (S) from England has come to the Zhoukoudian caves for a visit. An

archaeologist (A) is showing them round.

A：Welcome to the Zhoukoudian caves here in China. It is a great pleasure to meet you

students from England, who are interested in archaeology. You must be aware that it's here that

we found evidence of some of the earliest people who lived in this part of the world. We've been

excavating here for many years and ...

周口店洞穴参观记

一群英国学生(学)来到周口店洞穴参观，一位考古学家(考)正领着他们参观。

考：欢迎到中国来参观周口店洞穴。很高兴见到你们这些来自英国并且对考古学感兴趣的学生。你们想必都很清楚，正是在这个地方，我们找到了居住在世界上这个地区的最早人类的证据。我们在这儿进行挖掘工作已经很多年了，而且……

S1：I'm sorry to interrupt you but how could they live here? There are only rocks and trees.

A：Good question. You are an acute observer. We have found human and animal bones in

those caves higher up the hill as well as tools and other objects. So we think it is reasonable to

assume they lived in these caves, regardless of⑪ the cold⑫.

⑩⑨⑧⑦S2：How did they keep warm? They couldn't have mats⑬， blankets or quilts⑭ like we do. It

must have been⑮ very uncomfortable.

A：We've discovered fireplaces in the centre of the caves where they made fires⑯. That would

have kept them warm⑰， cooked the food and scared wild beasts⑱ away⑲ as well⑳. We have

been excavating layers of ash almost six metres thick, which suggests that they might have kept

the fire burning all winter. We haven't found any doors but we think they might have hung animal

⑳as well还；也，用于肯定句句尾。

21keep out 阻挡 ○22freezing winter 寒冷的冬天 ○学1：对不起，打断一下你的讲话。但他们怎么能住在这个地方呢？这儿只有石头和树木啊。

考：问得好。你是个敏锐的观察者。在高山上的那些洞穴里我们找到了人骨和兽骨，还有工具和其他物品。因此我们有理由认为他们不顾严寒，就住在这些洞穴里。

学2：那他们是怎样取暖的呢？他们不可能像我们现在这样有垫子、毯子和被子。想必是很不舒服的了。

考：我们发现在洞穴中央有生火用的地炉。他们用地炉里的火来取暖、做饭，还可以用火来吓跑野兽。我们一直在挖掘一层层的积灰，几乎有六米厚。这意味着他们可能整个冬天都在烧火。我们还没有找到门，但我们认为在天寒地冻的冬季他们可能是用兽皮挂在洞口来防寒的。

S3：What wild animals were there all that time ago?

23 the bones of tigers and bears in the caves, and we think these A：Well, we've been finding○were their most dangerous enemies. Now what do you think this tells us about the life of these

24？(shows picture of a sewing needle) early people○S2：Gosh! That's a needle. Goodness, does that mean they repaired things?

25？ A：What else do you think it might have been used for○26 three centimetres○27 long. Ah yes, it seems to be made S4：Let me look at it. It's at most○28 how they made the hole for the ... of bone. I wonder○S2：(interrupting) Do you mean that they made their own clothes? Where did they get the

考：嗯，我们在洞里陆续发现老虎和熊的骨头。我们认为，这些野兽对他们来讲是最危险的敌人了。现在，你们看这个东西能告诉我们有关早期人类生活的什么情况呢？(指着一张画有针线的照片让大家看)

学2：哎呀！那是一根针。天哪，难道他们还会修补东西吗？

考：除此之外，你们认为它还可能有别的什么用处吗？

学4：让我看看。这个东西最多三厘米长，噢，它看起来像是用骨头做的。我不知道他

们是怎样做成针眼的……

学2：(插话)你是不是说他们自己做衣服穿？他们又是从哪里搞到衣料的呢？

考：他们没有像我们今天穿的这种衣料。你们能猜出他们用的是什么吗？

学1：哇！他们穿的衣服全都是用兽皮做的吗？他们那些衣服是怎么做成的？我想兽皮剪裁并缝起来一定又厚又重啊。

31. We continue A：Our evidence suggests that they did wear clothes made from animal skins○32 tools that were sharpeners○33 for other tools. It seems that they used the discovering○34 stone tools to cut up○35 animals and remove their skin. Then smaller scrapers○36 sharpened○were probably used to remove the fat and meat from the skin. After that they would rub an

37 amount of○38 salt onto the skin to make it soft. Finally, they would cut it and sew the ample○39 task! Now look at this. (shows a necklace) pieces together. Quite a difficult and messy○40 necklace. Did early people really care about○41 their appearance S2：Why, it's a primitive○like we do? It's lovely!

考：我们有证据表明，他们的确穿的是用兽皮制作的衣服。我们不断发现一些磨削其他工具用的工具。看样子他们用磨尖的石器来切割野兽并剥皮，可能再用小一些的刮子把皮上的脂肪和肉去掉。然后，他们可能在兽皮上边擦上大量的盐，使皮变柔软。最后进行剪裁，缝起来就成了。确实是既难又脏的活！现在来看看这个吧。(指着一串项链)

学2：哎呀！这是一条原始的项链吧。早期人类也像我们现在一样讲究外貌吗？太漂亮了！

考：是的。还保存得很好呢。你们看看是用什么做的？

学4：我看看。噢，我想有些珠子是用兽骨做的，但是其他的是用贝壳做的。

考：你真聪明！有块骨头实际上是野兽的牙齿，贝壳是从海边捡来的。你们认得别的骨头吗？

考：很对，正如植物学的分析结果告诉我们的一样，这四周曾经是一个很大的浅水湖的一部分。当时可能湖里是有鱼的。

学3：不过，湖并不是海呀。我们离海还远着呢。那么，贝壳又是怎么来的呢？

考：早期人类之间也许有贸易来往，或者他们也可能旅行到海边去。我们知道，他们跟着兽群四处走。他们并不种植谷物，而是在野果熟了的时候采摘它们并捕杀野兽来充饥。这就是他们被称为猎人和采摘者的缘故。好了，咱们现在去参观洞穴好吗？

A new course on world heritage and its conservation offers a good opportunity for the young

people to learn about the legacy (遗产) of humanity and gain a sense of responsibility to help

protect the planet we live on.

According to a world heritage education programme jointly

launched by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural

Organization (UNESCO) and China's Ministry of Education, the

course will first be offered at several schools in Beijing before being

included as a mandatory course (必修课) for high school students nationwide.

The new course covers photos, slide shows and documentaries on the magnificence of the

world heritage sites. The class aims to tell children what world heritage is and why and how it

should be protected. A total of 177 nations, including China, have signed the Convention

Concerning the Protection of World Cultural and Natural Heritage. Listed are 754 sites all over the

world, of which 29 are in China — the third most after Spain and Italy. Currently, protection of the

country's cultural and natural resources leaves much to be desired. Education is undoubtedly the

best way to cultivate people's sense for protecting cultural and natural resources.

The introduction of such a programme in Chinese classrooms will certainly help our young

people realize the significance of common heritage, learning about world heritage sites, the history

and traditions of different cultures, ecology, and the importance of protecting biological and

cultural diversity.

More importantly, it will help cultivate a sense of responsibility in the minds of young

participants. This is critical in protecting these cultural and natural legacies, as well as our living

environment and the limited resources for sustainable development.

Scientists recently discovered that pictures on cave walls at Creswell Crags are the oldest

known in Great they didn't find out in the usual way.

Archaeologists often date cave art with a process called radiocarbon technique

can measure the age of carbon found in charcoal (木炭) drawings or painted is an

element found in many things, including charcoal and even in this case, there was no

paint or charcoal to carved the pictures of animals and figures into the rock using stone

scientists had an “aha！” moment when they noticed small rocks stuck to the top of

the small rocks must have formed after the drawings were made.

“It is rare to be able to scientifically date rock art，” said Alistair Pike, an archaeological

scientist at Britain's University of Bristol.“We were very fortunate that some of them were

covered by stalagmites (石笋)．”

When a test proved that the stalagmites formed 12,800 years ago, the scientists knew the art

under-neath them had to be at least that some of the animals shown, like the European

bison, are now extinct — another tip-off that the art is quite old.

The artists came to Creswell place is one of the farthest points north reached by

our ancient ancestors during the Ice that time, much of the North Sea was dry, so people

could move about more easily.

Some tools and bones found there are 13,000 to 15,000 years show that the

travellers hunted horses, reindeer, and arctic artwork is similar to art in France and

tells scientists that the Creswell Crags artists must have had a close connection to the

people several thousand kilometres away — another important clue to understanding how humans

spread out across the world.

语篇解读：科学家们最近发现了英国最古老的壁画，并试图推测它们的年代、主题等。

A．Carbon is a rare element.

B．To date rock art in scientific methods is not very difficult.

C．Some animals shown on the cave walls at Creswell Crags have died out.

D．During the Ice Age, it was more difficult for people to travel around by land than by sea.

解析：选C 细节理解题。由第四段第二句可知，岩石壁画里的某些动物，如欧洲野牛已经灭绝，所以C项正确。

7．Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?

A．Cave art in Britain

B．Cave art found in an unusual way

C．Cave art proved to be Britain's oldest

D．Cave art about animals is most beautiful

解析：选C 标题归纳题。本文主要讲述了已知的英国最古老的壁画，内容包括年代的推测，壁画的主题、特点及其意义等，所以选C项。

Earlier this week, 23 robots from all over the world competed in Pomona, California, for a $2

million prize in the DARPA Robotics Challenge (挑战赛). Teams have been working on these

robots for three years — their challenge was to make a robot that can help after an earthquake or

other natural disasters. The rules are simple — each robot has one hour to score eight points for

different tasks, which include driving a car, or opening a door.

Every team has people in a separate garage, sitting around big screens and controlling their

own robots. Across the garage stands Carnegie Mellon's bright red robot, CHIMP. “It has arms

and hands but it moves around on these tracks，” said Tony Stentz, team leader of team Tartan

Rescue. “CHIMP can go from upright to all-fours in just a few seconds. Weighing in at 440

pounds, CHIMP seems certain to win in the competition，” he said.

During the early drive, CHIMP almost went into the barricade (障碍物). It was slow getting

out of the car, but once it made it out, and opened the door, it dropped to the ground in the

doorway. For all the other teams, a fall means that humans have to step in and get the robot back

on its feet. But about five minutes later, CHIMP got back up without any help.

The team didn't get any points for that move, but recovering from a fall would come in pretty

handy in a disaster area. And CHIMP still completed all the tasks in under an hour. “What a

bang-up job！” Tony Stentz said as he received handshakes and high-fives from the crowd.

Though CHIMP was clearly the winner on the first day of the finals, it ran into lots of trouble

on the second day and ended up coming in third place overall. Team KAIST, from South Korea,

took the $2 million prize; Florida-based Team IHMC Robotics came in second and won$1 million.

“After two days, hopefully we're all a step closer to making humans safer after disasters，”

added Tony Stentz.

语篇解读：本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了在美国举办的DARPA机器人挑战赛。

8．According to Paragraph 1, these robots________.

A．are worth $2 million in total

B．are from 23 different countries

C．are able to think for themselves

D．are expected to do several pieces of work

different tasks”可知，D项说法正确。

9．During the competition, CHIMP________.

A．kept moving on all fours

B．fell down suddenly

C．scored eight points

D．beat Team KAIST

解析：选B 细节理解题。由第三段中的“it dropped to the ground”可知，CHIMP在下车时突然摔倒在地，故选B项。

10．The underlined word “bang-up” in Paragraph 4 probably means “________”．

A．good

C．boring

B．easy

D．dangerous

解析：选A 词义猜测题。由该段中的“recovering from a fall”和“CHIMP still completed all

the tasks in under an hour”及“handshakes and high-fives”可知，Tony Stentz是说CHIMP将任务完成得很棒，故选A项。

There are disadvantages and advantages to all parenting styles. There is no such thing as

perfect parenting. The two main styles of parenting are tolerant (宽容的) and strict. __1__ Some

of those advantages are evident (明显的) during childhood or adulthood.

One of the advantages of strict parents is that they push their children to high standards. This

is especially true with regard to academics. __2__ As a result, the children tend to perform

extremely well in their studies due to those expectations. Strict parents may even limit fun

activities if their children do not succeed in doing things.

__3__ This happens because they help their children learn important values such as discipline.

The children learn that they must make certain choices or bear the consequences. This confidence

can also lead to independent children and adults.

Children with strict parenting can learn selflessness. If a child's needs are always met in a

family with tolerant parents, the child may be spoiled (被宠坏的) and selfish. Strict parents get

their children to focus their attention more on the benefits of the family members and learn to

share with others. __4__

__5__ This is ideal for all children, but especially for those who have behavioral problems.

Strict parents tend to have hard-line policies regarding homework, school attendance and activities.

That self-discipline lasts for a lifetime.

A．Strict parents demand the best grades from their children.

B．Both styles of parenting have their advantages and disadvantages.

C．While there are disadvantages, there are also advantages of strict parenting.

D．Another advantage of strict parents is that they help their children build confidence.

E．So children growing up in a family with strict parenting are more likely to be selfless.

F．One of the most beneficial things about strict parenting is that it often teaches discipline.

G．An important advantage of strict parenting is that parents set good examples to their

children.
