emperor of the Tang Dynasty, her influence was far greater than most in her position.Historians say that the ruler loved her so much that, in AD 724, he banished his wife and made Wu a royal concubine.“Although she was only a concubine, she was treated as an empress with palace etiquette，” explained Shi Xiaoqun, director of relics collection for Shaanxi History Museum. “Tang Xuanzong even wanted to make her his empress but was opposed by the ministers.”The emperor had thousands of concubines in his palace in Changan (now called Xian, capital of Shaanxi province) but, according to Shi, he only loved Wu, the mother of seven of his children.Wu died in the December of AD 737 at the age of 40 and was interred in Jingling Mausoleum. She was given the title Empress Zhenshun after her death.“Its rare for a concubine to be given so much posthumous(死后获得的) honor in the history of Chinese feudal society，” said Liu Daiyun, research director at the Shaanxi Archaeological Research Institute.Her tomb53 meters wide by 56 meters longis located in the west of Pangliu village, which is part of Xians Changan district.The recovered sarcophagus(石棺) is 4 meters long, 2 meters wide and 2 meters tall and is decorated with flowers and maiden figures, which archaeologists say is a rare cultural relic of high scientific, historical and artistic value. In ancient times, a sarcophagus was used to house wood coffins in order to preserve the body of the noble person.“ I knew it was precious but I didnt know it was so beautiful，” said Han Qinglong, who headed the team that brought the relic back to China four years after it was stolen and sold abroad by tomb raiders.【语篇解读】 历史上武惠妃受到唐玄宗的宠爱并产生巨大影响，死后更享有一般妃子无法企及的殊荣。这一点从发掘出的武惠妃的陵墓和其石棺的豪华程度就可以窥见一斑。36The underlined word “ banished” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to “_”Akilled Bremoved Cdivorced Dpersuaded解析词义猜测题。根据上下文判断，唐玄宗如此宠爱武惠妃所以他赶走皇后，想立武惠妃做皇后。banish在本句中有“驱逐，赶走”之意。答案B37The passage mainly focuses on_.Athe life story of Wu HuifeiBthe reason why Wu Huifei was favoured by Tang XuanzongCthe scientific, historical and artistic value of the recovered sarcophagus of Wu HuifeiDthe influence of Wu Huifei and her posthumous honour解析主旨大意题。本文主要围绕武惠妃生前受到唐玄宗的宠爱并产生巨大影响及死后所享有的殊荣而展开叙述的，故选D项。答案D38Which of the following descriptions about Wu Huifei is TRUE according to the passage?AShe wasnt made empress by Tang Xuanzong because of the opposition from the ministers.BShe was born in 737 AD and died in 775 AD.CNo other woman has a greater influence on Chinese history than she does.DLike many concubines, she was given much honor after her death.解析由第三段最后一句可知，由于群臣反对，武惠妃没能被册封为皇后。答案A39We can infer from the passage that the sarcophagus of Wu Huifei_.Ahas been well preserved in Jingling MausoleumBis used to hold her bodyCis a symbol of her high status at that timeDwas sold abroad four years ago解析推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段中对武惠妃石棺的描述可推知武惠妃的石棺是那时她崇高地位的象征。答案CBBack in the old days, there were three wise men in ancient Greece. These three wise men were from three different generations. Socrates was the oldest of the three. He passed his knowledge lo his student, Plato, who then passed it on to Aristotle. Socraies, Plato, and Aristotle were all great philosophers(哲学家)Together, their schools of thought have since become the foundation of Western philosophy.Aristotle was born in 384 BC.His father, Nicomachus, was a doctor to the king of Macedonia.As the son of a doctor, Aristotle was no stranger to science. Growing up, he learned quite a lot about medicine and biology from his father. Later, after Nicomachus passed away, he was sent to study in Platos Academy in Athens. Aristotle was about eighteen years old then.Platos Academy was Europes first university. It offered courses on various subjects. Shortly after Aristotle began his study there, he devoted himself to learning everything on the curriculum. He soon proved himself an excellent student.Because of his wide range of interests, Aristotle never limited his range of education.As a result, he became the leading expert in many fields. Philosophy was simply one of them.Aristotle was in the Academy for nearly 20 years. He first joined as a student and then stayed on as a teacher. By the time that Plato died around 347 BC., Aristotle had already built up a very good name for himself. However, he did not get the job as the head of the Academy. That post went to Platos nephew. Some people believed that Aristotle felt angry at the choice. But there is no proof to that theory. Regardless of what he had truly felt, Aristotle decided to leave Athens. So in 347 BC., he quit the Academy and went to work for Hermeias, ruler of Atameus, in Asia Minor (todays Turkey). Aristotle was not alone in this time. He and another Academy member, Xenocrates, who was also a famous philosopher, founded the Assus Academy. They taught there for several years. During his stay in Atarneus, Aristotle was on very good terms with Hermeias. He even married the mans niece, Pythias. Interestingly, when Aristotle later wrote his famous book, Politics, he said that the ideal ages for marriage was 37 for the husband and 18 for the wife. Given that Aristotle was 37 years old at the time, it is very likely that Pythias was 18.【语篇解读】 本文介绍了古希腊著名哲学家亚里士多德的生平。40Which of the following is NOT a philosopher?ASocrates. BXenocrates.CPlato. DNicomachus.解析细节理解题。文章第二段第二句提到Nicomachus是一名医生，根据第一段第五句和最后一段倒数第六句可知，其他三人都是哲学家，故选D。答案D41Whats the right order of the following events?aSocrates passed his knowledge to his student, Plato.bAristotle was sent to Platos Academy.cAristotle wrote his famous book, Politics.dAristotle learned about medicine and biology from his father.ePlato died.Aa，c，b，d，e Ba，d，h，e，cCd，a，c，b，e Db，a，e，c，d解析推理判断题。根据文章所述事情的时间顺序可知B项正确。答案B42Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?AAristotle felt very angry that he was not chosen as the head of the Academy.BPlatos Arcademy was the first university in the world.CAristotle ended up with a happy marriage.DAristotle never left his homeland all his life.解析推理判断题。根据文章最后三句可知亚里土多德有着幸福美满的婚姻。A项只是一种说法，并未得到证实；B项的“the world”应改成“Europe”；由亚里士多德离开Athens去了Asia Minor可知D项错误。答案C43According to the passage we can know in Platos Academy_.Astudents were provided with only a few subjects at that timeBAristotle worked hard hut he was still not famousCAristotle didnt have a very good time for 20 yearsDArisiotle was not only a student but also became a teacher解析推理判断题。根据文章第三段第二句可知A项错误；根据文章第三段第六句可知B项错误；C项文中没有信息支持；根据文章第三段中的“He first joined as a student and then stayed on as a teacher.”可知D项正确。答案DCRetracing one of the most important trading routes of ancient civilisation, this remarkable tour follows in the footsteps of such legendary figures as Alexander the Great and Marco Polo.Crossing both Russia and China as well as some of the remotest former Soviet republicsKazakhstan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistanour journey will take in some of the most magnificent yet littlevisited sights from the ancient world.Eastbound(向东的) trips start in Russias capital Moscow，where we have plenty of time to explore. We travel on to Volgogradbetter known as Stalingradwhere the Soviets turned the course of the Second World War, before heading to far remoter places that owe their importance to a time much further back in history.The Kara Kum desert is followed by the amazing 2,500yearold cities of Khiva and Bukharaconsidered so important by UNESCO(联合国教科文组织) that it supported their restorationand then Samarkand, theRome of the East. Much admired by Alexander the Great, Samarkand is home to Registan Square, a spectacular open space surrounded by beautiful Islamic buildings and considered one of the most inspirational sights in central Asia.In between Khiva and Bukhara we take a twoday excursion into Turkmenistan and visit the capital city of Ashgabat, a huge modern folly(装饰性建筑) in the desert and a monument to the recently deceased President Sapamurat Turkmenbashi. We also visit the ancient city of Merv before returning to Uzbekistan.After crossing the border into China, our tour takes in the fascinating Magao Thousand Buddha cave complex (a network of almost 500 grottoes containing over 2,000 statues and 45,000 murals created up to 1,700 years ago), the Jiayuguan fortress at the end of the Great Wall (considered one of northern Chinas most spectacular sights) and the worldfamous Terracotta Warriors, an army of almost 6,000 statues recognised as one of the greatest archaeological finds of the 20th Century. We end our journey in Beijing, the vibrant capital of modern, confident China.where the latest architecture rubs shoulders with Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City.【语篇解读】 坐上豪华金鹰和香格里拉特快列车，沿着亚历山大大帝和马可波罗等传奇人物的足迹，踏上古代文明闪闪发光的一条最重要的贸易路线。44The ancient city of Merv now belongs to_.ARussia BSovietCTurkmenistan DUzbekistan解析细节理解题。根据第三段中的.Into Turkmenistan and visit the capital city of Ashgabat.We also visit the ancient city of Merv before returning to Uzbekistan.得知Merv城属于Turkmenistan。答案C45If you take an eastbound trip, you can visit the four cities in the following order：ABeijing, Sarnarkand, Ashgabat, MoscowBMoscow, Samarkand, Ashgabat, BeijingCBeijing, Ashgabat, Samarkand, MoscowDMoscow, Ashgabat, Samarkand, Beijing解析细节理解题。从文章内容可知，向东的旅行起点在莫斯科，终点在北京。由第三段中信息The Kara Kum desert is followed by the amazing 2,500yearold cities of Khiva and Bukhara.and then Samarkand，the“ Rome of the East”以及In between Khiva and Bukhara we take a twoday excursion into Turkmenistan and visit the capital city of Ashgabat，可知，先参观Khiva和Bukhara，然后是Samarkand，而在参观前两者中间去参观Ashgabat，可知参观Samarkand在Ashgabat之后。答案D46From the text we know that Volgograd is known for_.Aits hardworking peopleBa historical eventCits long historyDits pleasant weather解析细节理解题。由第二段中的We travel on to Volgogradbetter known as Stalingradwhere the Soviets turned the course of the Second World War，可知二战中苏联取得了斯大林格勒保卫战的胜利，现在的伏尔加格勒就是历史上曾经的斯大林格勒，故伏尔加格勒因此而出名。答案B47Whats the possible meaning of the underlined word “excursion” in the third paragraph?ATrip. BHoliday.CResearch. DStudy.解析词义猜测题。该词所在句说，在Turkmenistan有一个两天的excursion，参观首都Ashgabat和古城Merv，可知，excursion应该指“旅游，远足”之意，故选A。答案ADWhat killed King Tut? Historians and scientists have long believed that ancient Egypts most famous king was probably murdered.But a recent scientific study claims to have found a different solution to this more than 3,300yearold mystery.A team of researchers now say that King Tut, the boy ruler, died of complications(并发症) from a broken leg .Tuts full name was Tutankhamen . He was just 9 years old when he became the ruler of Egypt in 1348 BC.His treasurepacked tomb was discovered almost a century ago. It was filled with royal riches, including a solidgold coffin, a gold mask, and piles of jewelry.But unfortunately Tut died at the age of 19.

But thanks to a major modern science project, it seems Ay is innocent.Researchers set out to solve the mystery of Ki
