Or was the stone carved at different times？”John Wombell, who is leading a project to record rock art, said it was an important discovery.He said, “Although some stones are decorated on different faces, I only know of a few other stones with decoration on opposite sides.”The archaeologist said most boulders with markings were too heavy to turn over to find out if they were decorated on the reverse side.The stone in the new discovery was moved by farmers about 200 years ago when they used it for building something.There is a group of rock art in the local area.Round houses dating to the Bronze and Iron Ages have also been found.In addition, a farmer uncovered the jewellery while ploughing a field in the 1960s.文章大意：考古学家们在将一块刻有岩石画的石头搬迁到新地方时，意外发现其另一面同样有岩石画。文章随后介绍了该岩石画可能刻画的内容、价值以及考古学家们的疑问。5In what way was the prehistoric rock art found？_D_AWhen some farmers were turning over a stone.BWhen a group of researchers were hanging around.CWhen an archaeologist was studying an ancient rock.DWhen archaeologists were getting a rock moved to a new site.解析：细节理解题。根据文章第一段第二句Archaeologists made the discovery while moving a rock decorated with ancient cup and ring marks to a new location.可知，考古学家是在将一块刻有岩石画的石头搬迁到新地方时发现了史前岩石艺术。故选D项。6Which may not be the reason for the marks on the stone？_C_AThe drawing of the stars.BA certain kind of ceremony.CThe carvings of different times.DA sheepherder who felt tiresome.解析：细节理解题。根据第一段中的These include for rituals of mapping the stars.They could even be the“doodlings”of bored，ancient shepherds.可知，原因包括rituals，对应B项中的ceremony；mapping of stars(星图)对应A项；“doodlings”of bored shepherds(牧羊人无聊时的涂鸦)对应D项。只有C项在文中并未提及。7According to John Wombell，_D_.Athe discovery arouse wide attention.Bthe decorated stones are timely spotted.Cvarious faces were found carved on the stones.Dnot all uncovered stones had decoration on each side.解析：推理判断题。根据第二段约翰说的话“Although some stones are decorated on different faces，I only know of a few other stones with decoration on opposite sides.”可知，虽然一些石头在不同的面都有(岩石画)装饰，但是他只知道少量反面有(岩石画)装饰的石头。由此可得知，并不是所有发现的石头的每一面都有岩石画。故选D项。8What could be the best title of the text？_A_AA Worthy DiscoveryBAn Ancient ArtCA Remarkable ContributionDA Controversial Stone解析：主旨大意题。本文主要讲述了考古学家们发现了一块罕见的史前岩石画，而这是很珍贵的。故A项“一个有价值的发现”符合文章主题。B项“一件古老的艺术”，C项“杰出的贡献”，D项“一块有争议的石头”，均与文章主题不符。故选A项。.语法填空阅读下列短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。(2015郑州市一模)In the summer of 1848, in Guatemala, a man called Ambrosio Tut went into the jungle, as he did almost every day.Tut was a gumcollector(树胶采集者)，_1.looking_ (look) for gum in the jungle.To do this, he had to climb the trees._2.On_ this particular day, he got to the top of one tree and something caught his eye.He looked out across the trees and saw the tops of some old buildings.Tut didnt really know what he had seen but he knew it was something _3.special_ (specially)He ran to tell the local governor, and together they _4.walked_(walk)into the jungle.There they found Tikal(蒂卡尔)，the city that the Mayans (玛雅人) had built many hundreds of years before.The two men saw temples and pyramids, squares and houses, and places _5.where/in_which_ kings had lived when the Mayan people ruled the region.For a long time before that day, local people had known that somewhere in the jungle there was an old Mayan city，_6.but_ no one had seen it for centuries._7.Between_ 200 and 900 AD, the city of Tikal had been the center of Mayan civilization in the region, but then the Mayans left _8.it/there_nobody knows why! After 1000 AD, the jungle began to cover it and people forgot that it was there.Seven years before Tut looked out for the trees, two British explorers had gone to Guatemala and had written a report about Mayan treasures in the jungle, but they didnt mention Tikal.Even _9.earlier_ (early)than this, local Indians had told European travelers about a great city _10.hidden_(hide) in the trees, but no one would listen to them.Now the lost city had been found again, and archaeologists (考古学家) went there immediately to see it.文章大意：本文讲述了玛雅文化遗址的发现过程。解析：1考查非谓语动词。look与句子主语Tut构成逻辑上的主谓关系，所以用ing形式。2考查介词。具体的日期前用介词on。3考查词形变化。此处是用形容词作后置定语。4考查时态。此处walk与前面的ran时态一致。5考查定语从句。从句中缺少地点状语，所以填where，相当于in which。6考查连词。前后句为转折关系。7考查介词。between.and.在与之间。8考查逻辑。然后玛雅人离开了那里。所以可填it或者there。9考查词形变化。由后面的than可知，此处用比较级。10考查非谓语动词。hide与前面的city构成逻辑上的动宾关系，所以用过去分词。.短文改错假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文，请你修改你同桌写的以下作文。文中共有10处错误，每句中最多有两处。错误涉及一个单词的增加，删除或修改。 增加：在缺词处加一个漏字符号()，并在其下面写出该加的词。 删除：把多余的词用()划掉。 修改：在错的词下画一横线，并在该词下面写出修改后的词。 注意：1.每处错误及其修改均仅限一词；2只允许修改10处，多者(从第11处起)不计分。(2016邯郸市一模)In the Spring Festival, my family and I went to Beijing and had different holiday.On the first day, we got up early to attend to the flagraising ceremony.Watch the flag rising in the brilliant sun, we were quite excited and pride of our motherland.During the next few days, we visited the worldfamous sight, such as the Great Wall, the Summer Palace, and the Forbidden City, which contained a large number of precious treasures.Beside, I had a chance to talk with some foreigners in English.The holiday came to an end when I knew it.How I wish I can study in my dream university here in four months!答案：In the Spring Festival, my family and I went to Beijing and had different holiday.On the first day, we got up early to attend to the flagraising ceremony. the flag rising in the brilliant sun, we were quite excited and of our motherland.During the next few days, we visited the worldfamous , such as the Great Wall, the Summer Palace, and the Forbidden City, which a large number of precious treasures. , I had a chance to talk with some foreigners in English.The holiday came
