Pyramid was built thousands of years ago for a king called Khufu It is located on the west bank of Nile River not far from Cairo In fact all the pyramids along the Nile are on its west bank The ancient Egyptians compared the rising of the sun to the beginning of life and the setting of the sun to the end of life This is why their dead bodies were buried on the west bank of the Nile The people of Mexico also built pyramids They did not build the pyramids for tombs They used to build a pyramid and then a temple on top of it The pyramids of Mexico are not as high as the pyramids of Egypt but they are big Each of the pyramids has a wide stairway that goes from the bottom to the top The biggest pyramid in Mexico is almost 2000 years old Scientists think it took 10 000 men more than ten years to build it On the top they built a temple of the sun The temple is no longer there but people still call it the Pyramid of the Sun Near it is another huge pyramid the Pyramid of the Moon 1 In ancient Egypt pyramids were built A for visitors to seeB for kings to live in C as the kings tombsD for king Khufu 2 All the pyramids along the Nile are on its west bank because in ancient

Mildred Hill were asked to write some songs for a book called Song Storied for the Sunday Morning Miss Patty Hill and Miss Mildred Hill were both kindergarten teachers then They loved children very much and wrote many beautiful songs for the book One of them was the famous Good Morning to You The song said Good morning to you good morning to you dear children good morning to all This song was very popular at that time among kindergarten children But not many grown ups knew it A few years later little Archibald was born As his aunt Miss Patty Hill sang the song Happy Birthday to the melody 曲调 of Good Morning to you to her little nephew 侄子 She sang the song like this Happy birthday to you Happy birthday to you Happy birthday dear Archie Happy birthday to you Miss Patty Hill and her

in the wild I was shocked What a beautiful and powerful creature it is 2 But they live with a price on their heads a single tiger skin is worth up to 8 000 and their bones possibly more Another problem is that farmers need to clear a large number of areas of the forest for their cattle This means deer are losing their living places As a result tigers are losing their natural prey so they end up eating the cattle Tigers are not easy to live close to I met a farmer who had been mauled by one But despite 尽管 that he told me everything had its place in the world and he had no right to kill the tiger He was really kind Those who work for the Tigers Forever Project realize that to ensure their survival tigers don t only need space They need space away from people They are working to stop the conflict 冲突 between tigers and people by separating them I visited a new town People had been moved to it from a settlement in the forest And it really has worked It has given tigers a better life and better opportunities for the children of the resettled people Only 2 500 tigers are now left in the wild in India Three out of eight tiger sub species have already disappeared Tigers that once lived across Asia only survive in 7 of their original living places now 8 What does the underlined word mauled mean A Hunted B Injured C Frightened D Killed 9 The following statements are all the factors

Internet brings us many advantages With the Internet people can send and receive emails On the Internet people can skim over news Using the Telnet the user anywhere on the Internet can log into any other machine on which he has an account It is possible to use the FTP program to copy files from one machine on the Internet to another But the Internet also brings us troubles Internet use seems to cause a fall in psychological 心理的 health according to research at Carnegie Mellon University Even people who spent just a few hours a week on the Internet experienced more depression and loneliness than those who logged on less often the two year study showed And it wasn t that people who were already feeling bad spent more time on the Internet but that using the Net actually seemed to cause the bad feelings Researchers are puzzling over the results which were completely opposite to what they had expected They expected that the Net would prove socially healthier than the television since the Net allows users to choose their information and to communicate with others The fact that Internet use reduces time used for family and friends may be the reason for the drop in health research said Faceless bodiless virtual 虚拟的 communication may be less psychologically satisfying than actual conversations and the relationships formed through it may not be so deep Another possibility is that exposure to the wide world through the Net makes users less satisfied with their lives But it s important to remember this is not about the technology it s about how it is used said one of the researchers It really points to the need for considering social factors 因素 when you design new inventions 12 The writer mainly wants to tell us that A the Internet can bring people many advantages B the Internet use may cause psychological problems C the Internet users are not satisfied with their lives D we shouldn t use the Internet 13 Why are the researchers puzzling over the results A Because the results were completely different from what they had thought B Because the Net proved socially healthier than the television C Because the Internet users were all healthier D Because the Internet users experienced less depression and loneliness 14 What may be the reasons why Internet use causes a fall in psychological health A Internet use reduces time used for family and friends B Virtual communication is less psychologically satisfying than actual conversations C Exposure to the wider world through the Net makes users less satisfied with their lives 3 D All the above 15 What does the underlined part in the last paragraph mean A What matters is not the technology but how it is used B This passage is not about the technology but about how it is used C We should remember to learn about the technology D We should remember to learn how to use computers 第二节 共 5 小题 每题 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 注 注 16 20 题涂在答题卡题涂在答题卡 81 85 题 答题卡上的题 答题卡上的 16 20 不涂不涂 Time
