共用题干The Mysteries of NazcaIn the desert of Peru,300 kilometers from Lima,one of the most unusual artworks in the world has mystified（迷惑）people for decades._________(46 ) But from high above,these marks are huge images of birds,fish,seashells,all beautifully carved into the earth.The Nazca lines are so difficult to see from the ground that they weren't discovered until the 1930s, when pilots spotted them while flying over the area. In all,there are about 70 different human and animal figures on the plain,along with 900 triangles,circles,and lines.Researchers have figured out that the lines are at least 1,500 years old,but their purpose is still a mystery._________(47)However,it would probably be very tricky to land a spaceship in the middle ofpictures of dogs and monkeys.In the 1940s,an American explorer named Paul Kosok suggested that the drawings are a chronicle(己 录）of the movement of the stars and planets._________(48)Later,an astronomer tested his theory with a computer,but he couldn't find any relation between the lines and movements in space.Another explanation is that the lines may have been made for religious reasons.British researcher Tony Morrison investigated the customs of people in the Andes Mountain and learned that they sometimes pray by the side of the road.It's possible that in the past,the lines of Nazca were created for a similar purpose. _________(49)But the local people have never constructed anything this big.Recently,two other scientists,David Johnson and Steve Mabee,have speculated that lines could have been related to water. Nazca is one of the driest places in the world and receives only 2cm of rain every year. While Johnson was searching for ancient water sources in the area,he noticed that some waterways built by ancient people were connected with the lines.Johnson believes that the Nazca lines are a giant map of the underground water in the area._________（50)_________(46)A:Other scientists are now searching for evidence to prove this.B: A Swiss writer named Erich Von Daniken wrote that the Nazca lines were designed as a landing place for UFOs.C:Scholars differ in interpreting the purpose of the designs.D:The largest pictures may have been the sites for special ceremonies.E:Seen from the ground,it looks like lines scratched into the earth.F: He called Nazca"the largest astronomy book in the world".

问答题Passage 3Questions 34-45 ● Read the text below about training. ● In most of the lines 34-45, there is one extra word.

Many companies attempt to quantify the results of training. For 37. example, a person paid $50,000 a year who wastes just one hour a day costs the 38. organisation between $6,250 per year. So if the organisation sends 25 people for 39. training and they all receive the same benefit, this would equal from $156,250 40. savings per year. A few years ago, training, apart from showing employees 41. what the basics of doing the job, was an optional extra for most organisations. 42. Today this is no longer the case. If we continue doing what we do in the same way, 43. most of us and our organisations will become obsolete within the five years. This is 44. because of our competitors are helping their staff to become more effective through 45. training. They understand that if the real price of not training is the company falling behind as a result.
