27、 a range of pencil sketches, water color paintings, sculptures and many other objectsBWhen somebody mentions Russia, what usually comes to mind are cold winters and old Soviet-era (苏联时期) apartment buildings. The last thing we imagine is a city as beautiful as Paris, with more bridges than Venice, It

28、aly. But thats exactly what you get in St. Petersburg (圣彼得堡). St. Petersburg is Russias window onto Europe.Czar (沙皇) Peter the Great founded the city in 1703 with the only purpose of competing with European capitals such as Paris and Berlin. The historic avenues, parks, churches and buildings make u

29、p a tourists wonderland.The architects (建筑师) of St. Petersburg were mostly from Europe. They designed its numerous palaces and buildings to be as beautiful as those in Europe. Run through by the Neva River and its many canals (运河), St. Petersburg has more bridges than any other city in the world539

30、to be exact. Its long summer nights, called White Nights, make July and August the best time to visit.With so many amazing palaces to visit and places to see, where does one start? Probably the best place would be the Palace Square. It is one of Europes most beautiful squares, lined with colorful mo

31、numents showing the defeat of Napoleons armies. To one side of the square is the green, white, and gold exterior (外部) of the Winter Palace. From 1760 to 1917, the Winter Palace was the residence of the Russian Czars.Another great place to visit is Nevsky Prospect, the main road in St. Petersburg. It

32、 is lined on both sides with fine buildings and its sidewalks are always full of people. This road runs right through the oldest part of the city. Along its route you can find many historic churches, the Arts Square, the Russian Museum, the Russian National Library, many beautiful statues, and the l

33、argest department store in St. Petersburg.If you want to get out of St. Petersburg for a nice walk, go to the Kirovsky Islands, just north of the city center.

37、ts in your own back yard is really exciting.In their heavily populated area, neighbors Adam Giles, 13, and Derek Hann, 12, uncovered pieces of glass that looked quite different from whats used today. “After digging about two feet down, I came across an interesting bottle,” Derek said. The bottle had

38、 a “pontil scar” on the bottom, an indication that it was hand-blown rather than machine made. It also had the name “Fraser” on one side.Adam found remains of a green bottle and some very thick brown glassagain, far different from todays. After doing research on the computer, the boys contacted Aime

39、e Wells of the countys (县) Cultural Resources office. She showed them a computer program that digitally puts old maps over modern satellite photographs.Bingo! Their back yards were once part of a military (军事的) encampment (营地) called Camp Alger used by Ohio soldiers on their way to fight in the Span

40、ish-American War in 1898.So how do a few bottles get connected to a brief war that was more than a century ago? “We get there by good judgment,” Wells said. “We know the time period of the bottles and what happened in that area.” Anyone can dig a hole, but archaeologists seek a deeper understanding.

41、 How do objects found relate to things around them? When Derek and Adam realized that a soldier might have held that Fraser bottle 110 years ago, they wondered what he might have been thinking. What did he see as he looked around him? How did he pass the time waiting to go into battle?Historical rec

42、ords show that while waiting for orders, the soldiers in and around Camp Alger played baseball, played instruments and walked seven miles to the Potomac River once a week for baths. A spread of strange fever forced the closing of the camp, and there are no buildings to study. “Whats left is only wha

43、ts in the ground,” Wells said.Dereks and Adams back yards have joined the 3,400 places listed on the countys register of archaeological sites. The boys were given tips on how to dig effectively and safely, and on how to document the location of items found.The official record of their finds serves a

44、s another piece of the puzzle for historians seeking to form a more complete story of what happened.“Not everybody is going to have historical objects in their own yard,” Wells said. “Thats okay. Make your own time capsule and bury it. What would you want people to know about your life years from no

45、w?”48. We can infer from the article that Adam and Derek _.A. came across pieces of glass looking quite unusualB. found a hidden treasure in their back yardC. lived in a place with a small populationD. studied history at the same school49. How were the glass bottles decided to be related with a war

46、which happened in 1898?A. The archaeologist figured it out with a computer.B. The connection was made based on necessary information and good judgment.C. The bottle had a scar on it indicating the fact that it belonged to a soldier then.D. The boys carried out a research on the computer and found it

47、 out.50. While waiting for orders, the soldiers in and around Camp Alger would do the following, except _.A. playing ball gamesB. bathingC. playing instrumentsD. walking51. What Derek and Adams found _.A. greatly puzzled historiansB. told us the complete story of what happenedC. was regarded as very

48、 useful for the historiansD. led them to a fortuneDThe classic Neanderthals (尼安德特人), who lived between about 70,000 and 30,000 years ago, shared a number of special characteristics. Like any biological population, Neanderthals also showed variation in the degree to which those characteristics were p

49、owerfully built, short and solid, with the lower parts of their arms and legs short in relation to the upper parts, as in modern peoples who live in cold environments. Neanderthal skulls were distinctive (与众不同的), housing brains even larger on average than those of modern humans, a feature that may h

50、ave had more to do with their large, heavy bodies than with superior intelligence. Seen from behind, Neanderthal skulls look almost spherical (球形的), but from the side they are long and flattened, often with a bulging (凸出的) back.The Neanderthal face, dominated by a projecting and full nose, differed

51、clearly from the faces of other hominids (原始人类), the middle parts appear to be pulled forward (or the sides pulled back), resulting in a rather streamlined face shape. This peculiarity (特性) may have been related to the greater importance (in cultural activities as well as food processing) of the fro

52、nt teeth, which are large and part of a row of teeth that lies well forward in the head; it may reflect a reduction in importance of certain jaw muscles operating at the sides of the face, or it may reflect an adaptation to cold. Whether it results from any or all of these three factors or from othe

53、r undiscovered causes, this midfacial projection is so characteristic that it unfailingly identifies a Neanderthal to the trained eye.Neanderthal teeth are much more difficult to characterize: the front teeth are large, with strong roots, but the back teeth may be relatively small. This feature may

54、have been an adaptation to cope with heavy tooth wear.52. What might NOT be the possible reason for the Neanderthal streamlined face shape?A. their large, heavy bodiesB. the front teethC. the function of certain jaw muscle D. the climate then53. Which of the following statement is correct?A. Neander

55、thals had short arms as modern people do.B. Modern people living in cold areas have longer upper arms and legs.C. Neanderthals had shorter arms and legs than modern people.D. The lower parts of Neanderthal arms and legs were as short as their upper parts.54. From the story we can learn Neanderthals

56、_.A. lived near the equator (赤道)B. were early humanC. had problems with their teeth when youngD. had larger and cleverer brains than we do55. The best title for the passage is _.A. The Neanderthal faceB. Neanderthals one of the hominidC. The characteristics of Neanderthal D. The classic Neanderthal四
