They found the ruins in the Mosquitia region of the Central American country which is known for poisonous snakes, vicious jaguars and deadly insects. It is believed that local people hid here when the Spanish conquerors(征服者) occupied their homeland in the16th century.Canopus and HeracleionModern researchers were teased by the ancient writings about the Egyptian cities Canopus and Heracleion- where Queen Cleopatra often visited. But the cities werent found until 1992, when a search in Alexandria waters found that the two cities had been flooded for centuries. Artifacts(史前器物) showed that the cities once highly developed as a trade network, which helped researchers piece together more about the last queen of Egypt.Machu PicchuA Yale professor discovered the Lost City in the Cloudsin 1911. A combination of palaces, plazas, temples and homes, Machu Picchu displays the Inca Empire at the height of its rule. The city, which was abandoned in the 16th century for unknown reasons,was hidden by the local people from the Spanish conquerors for centuries keeping it so well preserved.TroyThe ancient city of Troy in homers The Iliad was considered a fictional setting for his characters to run wild. But in 1871, explorations in northwestern Turkey exposed nine ancient cities layered (层叠) on top of each other, the earliest dating back to about 5,000 years before. It was later determined that the sixth or seventh layer contained the lost city of Troy and that it was actually destroyed by an earthquake, not a wooden horse.21. Why did people hide in the White City in the 16th century? A. To survive the war B. To search for a lost city. C. To protect their country. D. To avoid dangerous animals 22. Which of the following was related to a royal family member? A. The White City B. Canopus and Heracleion C. Machu Picchu D. Troy 23. What can we learn about Troy? A. It was built by Homer. B. It consisted of nine cities C. It had a history of 5,000 years D. It was ruined by a natural disaster. BMy motivation for starting our family tradition of reading in the car was purely selfish: I could not bear listening to A Sesame Street Christmas for another 10 hours. My three children had been addicted to this cassette on our previous summers road trip As I began to prepare for our next 500-mile car trip,I came across a book-Jim Treleases The Read Aloud Handbook. This could be the answer to my problem. I thought. So I put Roald dahls James and the Giant Peach into my bag. When I began to read aloud the tale of the boy who escapes the bad guys by hiding inside a giant peach, my three kids argued and wrestled in their seats. But after several lines, they were attracted into the rhythm of the words and began to listen We soon learned that the simple pleasure of listening to a well-written book makes the long miles pass more quickly. Sometimes the books we read became highlights of the trip. I read Wilson Rawlss Summer of the Monkeys as we spent two days driving to the beach. We arrived just behind the power crews restoring(恢复) electricity after a tropical storm. The rain continued most of the week, and the beach was covered with oil washed up by the storm. When we returned home, I asked my son what he liked about the trip. He answered without hesitation, The book you read in the car.Road trips still offer challenges, even though my children now are teenagers. But we continue to read as we roll across the country. And Im beginning to see that reading aloud has done more than help pass the time. For at least a little while, we are not shut in our own electronic worlds. And maybe weve started something that will pass on to the next generation.24. Why did the author start reading in the car? A. She wanted to have a better journey. B. She wanted to keep a family tradition C. Her children were addicted to reading. D. Her children were tired of the cassette 25. How did the children react after the author read a few lines? A.

They were caught in a storm B. They enjoyed reading on the road C. They had a good time on the beach D. They thought it had passed too quickly. 27. Which can be the best title for the text? A. Better Traveling than Reading B. Books that Changed My Children C. Road Trips Full of Challenges D. Reading Makes Great Road Trips CThe arm bones of women who lived 7,000 years ago show a surprising level of strength-even higher than todays professional athletes. thats according to a first-ever study comparing prehistoric(史前的) bones to those of living people. The finding suggests a revision of history- the everyday lives of prehistoric women were filled with hard labor, rather than just sitting at home doing lighter tasks while the men struggled and fought for life. Before the study, there are no clear records describing how our ancient ancestors lived. It can be easy to forget that bone is a living tissue, one that responds to the difficulties we put our bodies through, said lead author Alison Macintosh. Physical force and muscle activity both put pressure on the bone. The bone reacts by changing in shape, thickness and other aspects over time. Previous studies only compared female bones to contemporary male bones, the researchers said-and thats a problem, because the response of male bones to stress and change is much bigger than that of women. For instance, as humans moved from a hunter-gatherer lifestyle constantly on the move to a more settled agrarian(农耕的) one, changes can be observed in the structure of the shinbone(胫骨)- and these changes were much more evident in men.However, a comparison of the bones of prehistoric women to the bones of living female athletes can help us work out a more accurate picture of what those prehistoric women were doing. By analyzing the bones of living people and comparing them to the ancient bones, we can start to explain the kinds of labor our ancestors were reforming, Macintosh said. What they found was that womens leg strength hasnt changed a great deal, but their arms used to be very powerful. Prehistoric women, the researchers found, had arm strength 11-16 percent stronger than those of modern rowers, and 30 percent stronger than those of non-athletes.28. What does the study tell about prehistoric women? A. They were stronger than men B. They had lighter bones than men C. They did tough tasks as the men D. They spent most time staying at home 29. What problem did previous studies on prehistoric bones have? A. They lacked enough comparison. B. They only studied mens bones C. They focused little on bones. D. They ignored the lifestyles 30. What does the underlined wordthatin Paragraph 3 refer to? A. Bones structure. B. Bones thickness C. Bones response to stress. D. Bones, stress from hard labor. 31. What can we learn from the last paragraph? A. Its still hard to explain our ancestors lifestyle B. Prehistoric women went through much suffering. C. Womens arms have become much stronger over time D. Prehistoric women are stronger than contemporary females DA few years ago, Darla Hoff painted a pumpkin face onto a round straw bale(捆) at Al and Karen Goldmans farm in Idaho Falls to advertise her u-pick pumpkin field While Darla has stopped growing pumpkins, the annual tradition of straw bale art lives on at the farm and has drawn friends and neighbors to participate in it. Past creations have included an owl, Minions, tractors and a teddy bear. To make the tractors, Al baled round straw bales in two different sizes- smaller ones for the tractors front tires and larger ones for the rear(尾部). Large square bales made up the bodies. Jerry Kienlen used his farming equipment to arrange the bales in the shape of two tractors. Then it was time to bring the tractors to life. Karen and her daughter, Lana Hedrick, secured some green paint, and Al got some red paint. Darlas husband, James, sprayed the creation with a paint gun. For the finishing touches Steven donated two shiny exhaust stacks(排气管), and Al and Karen donated two steering wheels from their farm parts. The farms annual straw bale art projects have now become a way for everyone to celebrate the end of another growing season. its just something fun to do together after harvest. This neighborhood has always been close. Generations of these families have grown crops in this soil. Raised on the farms where they live now, they grew up together as their elders did before. Al and Karen are truly super neighbors. Every year they also grow about two acres of corn to give away. Anyone can pick some, or Aland Karen will even deliver. And during long Idaho winters, everyone gathers at the farm to enjoy fresh coffee and cookies. This years straw bale creation theme is Straw Wars. And all eyes will be on Al and Karens farm as their creation takes shape.32. Why did Darla paint a pumpkin face onto a straw bale? A. To recycle straw bales B. To please his neighbors C.
