Stone is all around us. Stone is usually very hard, 46 it can also be soft. Stones have many uses.In some 47 , artists carve (雕刻) beautiful things out of soft stones, because they can be shaped easily. In ancient times, people carved 48 persons or animals out of soft stones, which could be carried along with. While in some European countries, statues (雕塑) are carved g49 hard stones and they do not change easily. In summer, the hot sun 50 on these statues and in winter the snow falls on them, but they 51 remain beautiful.Stone is strong and long-lasting. So, it is 52 enough for buildings. A house built of stone does not catch fire as easily as 53 made of wood. Some stones are coloured, so they make the 54 look wonderful. People can also get a fire with stones. Besides, some kinds of stones can be used to 55 jewellery (珠宝). We’ve found stones are really amazing.46.__________A. and B. but C. or D. so
The Building of the PyramidsThe oldest stone buildings in the world are the pyramids.【46】 There are over eighty of them scattered along the banks of the Nile, some of which are different in shape from the true pyramids. The most famous of these are the "Step" pyramid and the "Bent" pyramid.Some of the pyramids still look much the same as they must have done when they were built thousands of years ago. Most of the damage suffered by the others has been at the hands of men who were looking for treasure or, more often, for stone to use in modem buildings.【47】. These are good reasons why they can still be seen today, but perhaps the most important is that they were planned to last for ever. 【48】. However, there are no writings or pictures to show us how the Egyptians planned or built the pyramids themselves.【49】. Nevertheless, by examining the actual pyramids and various tools which have been found, archaeologists have formed a fairly cleat picture of them.One thing is certain: there must have been months of careful planning before they could begin to build.【50】 You may think this would have been easy with miles and miles of empty desert around, but a pyramid could not be built just anywhere. Certain rules had to be followed, and certain problems had to be overcome.A. The dry climate of Egypt has helped to preserve the pyramids, and their very shape have made them less likely to fall into ruin.B. It is practically certain that plans were made for the building of the pyramid because the plans of other large works have fortunately been preserved.C. The first thing they had to do was to choose a suitable place.D. Consequently, we are only able to guess at the methods used.E. Many people were killed while building the pyramids.F. They have stood for nearly 5,000 years, and it seems likely that they will continue to stand for thousands of years yet.(46)

共用题干第一篇How to Do with Earthquake?Ideally,people would like to know when an earthquake is going to happen and how bad it willbe.In both Japan and China,people have long believed that earthquakes can be forecast. In Japan, scientists have wired the Earth and sea to detect movements.The Chinese have traditionally watched animals and plants for warning signs of earthquakes.For example,the Chinese have noted that before an earthquake,hens' behavior changes一they refuse to enter their cages at night. They have also noticed that snakes come out of the ground to freeze to death and that dogs bark a lot,even normally quiet dogs.Before the Hanshin earthquake in Japan,there were reports of large schools of fish swimming near the surface of the water. Certain birds,like pigeons,also seemed to be especially noisy and were reported to be flying in unusual patterns before the earthquake.Perhaps most interesting,and most easily measured,is a chemical change in ground water before a quake.Experimental data seem to indicate that the amount of radon(Rn)in the water under the surface of the Earth waxes before an earthquake.People would also like to be able to prevent the great destruction of property caused by earthquakes.After all,most of the people who die in earthquakes are killed by falling buildings.Therefore,building structures that can withstand the power of earthquakes is a major concern.Steel seems to be the best material,but not if it is welded to form a rigid structure.Many new structures are built with a new type of steel joint,an I-joint,which appears to be the most durable type of joint. These joints of steel can move without breaking. Also,to prevent property damage,architects now design buildings so that the building's columns and horizontal beams are of equal strength,and vertical support columns are inserted deep into solid soil.In addition,many new houses have relatively light roofs and strong walls.Concrete pillars for highway bridges that previously only had steel rods inside are now enclosed in steel.Besides working to improve building structures,people in areas where earthquakes are common need to prepare for the possibility of a great earthquake.They should regularly check and reinforce their homes,place heavy objects in low positions,attach cupboards and cabinets to walls,and fasten doors so that they will not open accidentally during an earthquake.Why are building structures a major concern for people?A:Because they can make buildings pleasing to people's eyes.B:Because people are often killed by falling buildings in earthquakes.C:Because sometimes they are costly.D:Because people want to cut budget by designing new types of buildings.
共用题干A Letter from AlanI have learnt of a plan to build three hundred houses on the land called Parson's Place by the football ground .Few people know about this new plan to increase the size of our town.For me,Parson's Place is special because it is a beautiful natural area where local people can relax-the small wood has many unusual trees and the stream is popular with fishermen and bird-watchers'It's very quiet because there are few houses or roads nearby.I think that losing this area will be terrible because we have no other similar facilities in the neighbourhood.I am also against this plan because it will cause traffic problems.How will the people from the new houses travel to work?The motorway and the railway station are on the other side of town.Therefore,these people will have to drive through the town centre every time they go anywhere.The roads will always be full of traffic,there will be nowhere to park and the tourists who come to see our lovely old buildings will leave .Shops and hotels will lose business.If the town really needs more homes,the empty ground beside the railway station is a more suitable place.No doubt the builders will make a lot of money by selling these houses.But,in my opinion, the average person will quickly be made poorer by this plan.As well as this,we will lose a very special place and our town will be much less pleasant.I am going to the local government offices on Monday morning to protest about this plan and I hope that your readers will join me there.We must make them stop this plan before it is too late. What will cause traffic jams?A: Buildings on Parson's Place.B: Building near the railway station.C: Travelers in the narrow streets.D: People going to the shops and hotels.
Life gets noisier every day and very few people can free from noise of some sort or another.It doesn′t matter where you live--in the middle of a modem city,or a faraway village--the chances that you will be disturbed by jet aero planes,transistor radios,oil powered engines,etc.,are almost everywhere.We seem to be getting used to noise,too.Some people feel quite lonely without background music while they are working.Scientific tests have shown that total silence can be very frightening experience for human beings.However,some people enjoy listening to pop music which is very loud,and this can do harm to their eardrums（耳鼓）.The noise level in some disco is far above the usual safety level for heavy industrial areas.One recent report about noise and concentration（专心）suggested that although a lot of people say that any noise disturbs their concentration,what really affects their ability to concentrate is a change in the level of noise.It goes on to say that a background noise,which doesn′t change too much（music,for example）may even help people to concentrate.Some people may have their hearing hurtA.while they are in complete silenceB.while they are dancing violentlyC.while they are listening to pop musicD.while they are listening to soft music
