In the early 1900s, the drivers were the same people who invented and built the first passenger cars. For example, Henry Ford, founder of the Ford Motor pany, sometimes raced his cars. In 1906, the Indianapolis Motor Speedway was founded by Carl Fisher. On August 19, 1909, the first car race took place at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Twelve thousand were in attendance. In 1911, the first Indianapolis 500 was held there with 40 racers. Finishing in 6 hours and 42 minutes, first-place winner Ray Harroun clocked in at what seemed back in those days an unbelievably high average speed of 74.59 mph!Over the years, as technology improved, these cars became lighter and faster. There are two kinds of open-wheel racecars, IndyCars and Formula One. IndyCars are almost exactly identical(完全相同的) to each other, so the race is a test of driving skills around a street, or race course, mostly in the U.S.; Formula One cars are customized(定做的) and raced on road courses around the world. Unlike the kind of car your family drives, neither IndyCars or F1 cars have doors, and their wheels are on the outside of the cars body.In 1936, Louis Meyer asked for a bottle of buttermilk after he became the first three-time Indy 500 winner, which led to the tradition of winners drinking a bottle of milk on Victory Lane(车道).The Indy 500 has grown into one of the most anticipated(期待的) international racing events of the year, with hundreds of thousands of fans flooding into the stands each May. In xx, it celebrated its 100th event-and tickets sold out for the first time ever.28. What do we know about the first Indianapolis 500?A. It was founded by Carl Fisher.B.

It will raise its ticket prices.D. It has an unpromising future.DIf you visit the new Mummies(木乃伊) show at the American Museum of Natural History(AMNH), in New York City, dont miss the Gilded Lady. Scientists say she probably died of lung disease when she was in her 40s-about 2,000 years ago-in Egypt. They even have a model of her skull(头骨). Based on that, an artist was sure how she may have looked when she was alive. And yet, the mummys coffin has never been opened. Instead, scientists used a machine called a CT scanner(扫描仪) to look inside.CT scanners were developed to help doctors examine patients. But the machines turned out to be perfect for studying mummies, too.“A hundred years ago, scientists would usually open mummies coffins. This did a great deal of harm to those mummies,” say AMNH president Ellen V. Futter. “We just dont do that anymore. We can do so much better. By using CT scanners, scientists can know about an ancient persons diet from some of a mummys hair. Pieces of bone can show who was related to whom.”Some mummies in Peru were buried with a skull hanging from their neck. Scientists thought these mummies wore the skull of an enemy. But DNA evidence showed that the mummies were buried with the skull of an ancestor(祖先).The 19 mummies in the show are from Egypt and Peru. They had pletely different reasons for mummifying the dead. The ancient Egyptians believed that mummification allowed an ancestor to live on in the next world. The people who prepared the Gilded Lady thought she would continue to see, hear, and smell. In ancient Peru, people practiced mummification to stay connected with their ancestors. Some families kept mummies in their home.Futter calls the mummies in the show “messengers from another time.” With the help of technology, scientists will continue to uncover mummies secrets so we can understand it. 32. What did scientists find about the Gilded Lady?A. She was a great artist.B. She died a natural death.C. She lived in ancient Egypt.D. She had an amazingly long life.33. What do Futters words suggest?A. Pieces of bone show a persons diet.B. CT scanners do great harm to mummies.C. Mummies usually wore the skull of an enemy.D. Technology plays an important role in mummy studies.34. Why did the ancient Peruvians make mummies?A. To do traditional medical research.B. To keep close ties with their relatives.C. To help their families live a better life.D. To let their ancestors live in another world.35. What does the underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refer to?A. The technology.B. Their message.C. Their family.D. The show.第二节 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。How to be a good ownerMany children want to have their own pets, but how to be a good pet owner?
