PART 1 - 英语Passage ISliding Stones to the Forbidden City1The Forbidden City, built in the fifteenth andsixteenth centuries in Beijing,China, isa complexconsisting of the imperial palace and 980 surroundingbuildings. A large number of massive stones were usedin its construction, someof them featuredelaboratecarvings. Because China had developed sophisticatedwheeled vehicles two thousand years before constructionon the city began, scholars assumed that workers hadused carts to transport the stones to the site. However, adocument translated byresearchers Jiang Li, HaoshengChen, and Howard Stone, in 2013revealed that workersused a surprising means oftransportation;a sledge pulledon ice. A2The documentthat was later translated by Jiang,Haosheng, and Stonestated that in January 1557a team of men hauled a 123-ton stone to the ForbiddenCity on a sledge(a platform with wooden runners).B The men pulled the sledge forty-five miles intwenty-eight days, moving about twenty feet per minute.Jiang, Haosheng, andStone wondered whythe workerschose to slide the stones on sledges instead of usingcarts. C They calculated that the citys largeststonessome weighing upto: 300 tonswere tooheavy for sixteenth-century carts to carry. In addition,the rough, bumpy roads of the time made maneuveringthe carts difficult. Sledges were easier, smoother, andmore reliable.3But how could a team of menonlydrag a heavy sledge forty-five miles in a few weeks? D The researchers discovered that toconfrontfriction, the workers created artificial ice pathsthat pouredwater on the ground. They let the winter air freeze thewater and then pullingthe sledge over the ice.The workers also dug wells along theroute sothey could pour fresh water over the ice,thereby further reducing friction.Thecombination of the hard, icy surface andwater lubricationwere to meanthat a smallteam of workers could move the massive stonesquickly and safely. These artificial ice paths madepossible the construction of the Forbidden City,one of Chinas most enduring landmarks.1.A. NO CHANGEB. China, which isC. ChinaD. China,Answer:A2.A.

labor. Moreover, the need to keep records led to the development of writing and arithmetic, and the increased sophistication of urban society gave a new impetus to artistic expression of every kind.
When the basis of city life was established in Europe the urban tradition was drawn from the ancient cities of the Middle East, via the civilization of Greece and Rome. We can trace three main phases in the growth of the West European city. The first of these is the medieval phase which extends from the beginning of the 1 lth century A.D. to about 1,500 to the beginning of the 19th century. The third is the modern phase extending from the early 19th century to the present day.
Every medieval city began as a small settlement, which grew up round a geographical or cultural focal point. This would be a permanent structure such as a stronghold, a cathedral or a large church. In districts where travel and trade were well established, it might be a market, a river crossing, or a place where two or more trade routes met, in studies of urban geography the oldest part of town is referred to as the nuclear settlement. There are many small towns in Europe where it is still possible to trace the outline of the original nuclear settlement. It is, of course,
much more difficult to do this in the case if a large modern city which has grown to many times its original size.
It is easier to locate its original nuclear settlement of a small town__________.
B.because it is less developed
C.because of its small size
D.because of its location

People have been painting pictures for at least 30,000 years.The earliest pictures were painted by people who hunted animals.They used to paint pictures of the animals they wanted to catch and kill.Pictures of this kind have been found on the walls of caves in France and Spain.No one knows why they were painted there.Perhaps the painters thought that their pictures would help them to catch these animals.Or perhaps human beings have always wanted to tell stories in pictures.
About 5,000 years ago,the Egyptians and other people in the Near East began to use pictures as kind of writing. They drew simple pictures or signs to represent things and ideas,and also to represent the sounds of their language.The signs there people used became a kind of alphabet.
The Egyptians used to record information and to tell stories by putting picture-writing and pictures together. When an important person died,scenes and stories from his life were painted and carved on the walls of the place where he was buried.Some of these pictures are like modern comic strip stones.It has been said that Egypt is the home of the comic strip.But for Egyptians,pictures still had magic power. So they did not try to make their way of writing simple.The ordinary people could not understand it.
By the year 1000 BC,people who lived in the area around the Mediterranean Sea had developed a simpler system of writing. The signs they used were very easy to write,and there were fewer of them than in the Egyptian system.This was because each sign,or letter,represented only one sound in their language.The Greeks developed this system and formed the letters of the Greek alphabet.The Romans copied the idea and the Roman alphebet is now used all over the world.
These days,we can write down a story,or record information,without using pictures.But we still need pictures of all kinds:drawing,photographs,signs and diagrams.We find them everywhere:in books and newspapers,in the street,and on the walls of the places where we live and work.Pictures help us to understand and remember things more easily,and they can make a story much more interesting.
A:the hunters wanted to see the pictures
B:the painters were animal lovers
C:the painters wanted to show imagination
D:the pictures were thought to be helpful

第三篇
The Body Thieves
In the early nineteenth century in Britain,many improvements were being made in the
world of medicine.Doctors and surgeons were becoming more knowledgeable about the
human body.Illnesses that had been fatal a few years before were now curable.However,
surgeons had one problem.They needed dead bodies to cut up,or dissect(解剖).This
was the only way that they could learn about the flesh and bones inside the body,and the
only way to teach new surgeons to carry out operations.
The job of finding these dead bodies was carried out by an unpleasant group of people
called "body snatchers". They went into graveyards(墓地)at night and, using wooden
shovels to make less noise,dug up any recently buried bodies.Then they took the bodies
to the medical schools and sold them.A body could be sold for between £5 and £10,
which was a lot of money at that time.The doctors who paid the body snatchers had an
agreement with them一they never asked any questions.They did not desire to know where
the bodies came from,as long as they kept arriving.
The most famous of these body snatchers were two men from Edinburgh called William
Burke and Wil!iam Hare.Burke and Hare were different because they did not」ust dig up
bodies from graveyards.They got greedy and thought of an easier way to find bodies.
Instead of digging them up,they killed the poorer guests in Hare's small hotel.Dr Knox,
the respected surgeon they worked for,never asked why all the bodies they brought him
had been strangled(勒死).
For many years Burke and Hare were not caught because,unsurprisingly,the bodies
of their victims were never found by the police.They were eventually arrested and put on
trial in 1829.The judge showed mercy to Hare and he was released but Burke was found
guilty and his punishment was to be hanged.Appropriately,his body was given to the
medical school and he ended up on the dissecting table,just like his victims.In one small
way,justice was done.
Now,over 1 50 years later,surgeons do not need the help of criminals to learn their
skills.However,the science of surgery could not have developed without their rather
gruesome(令人毛骨惊然的)help.
A:some ii{nesses remained incurable.
B: few people were willing to work as surgeons.
C: medical expenses were too high.
D:dead bodies were not easily available.
