These roads also facilitated cultural exchanges. Here are several that changed the world. The Silk Road The Silk Road is the most famous ancient trade route, linking the major ancient civilizations of China and the Roman Empire. Silk was traded from China to the Roman Empire beginning in the 1st century BCE in exchange for wool, silver, and gold coming from Europe. In addition to fostering trade, the Silk Road also became a vital route for the spread of knowledge, technology, religion, and art. The Spice Routes Unlike most of the other trade routes, the Spice Routes were oceanic paths linking the East to the West. Pepper, cloves and cinnamon were all hugely sought-after goods in Europe. From the 15th century to the 17th century, navigation technology made sailing long distances from Europe possible. Europeans took to the seas to create direct trading relationships with Indonesia, China, and Japan. Spice trade fueled the development of faster ships. The Amber (琥珀) Routes Amber has been traded since about 3000 BCE, with amber beads from the Baltic Sea region having reached as far as Egypt. The Romans, who valued the amber for both decorative and medicinal purposes, developed the Amber Routes linking the Baltic states with the rest of Europe. Today, you can find traces of the old Amber Road in Poland, where one of the major routes is known as the Amber Highway. The Tea Horse Road This ancient route winds for more than 6,000 miles, through the Hengduan Mountains—a major tea-producing area in China — and on to Xizang and India. The main goods traveling the route were Chinese tea and Xizang’s warhorses. Parts of the route were used starting about 1600 BCE, but people began using the entire path from around the 7th century, and large-scale trade began taking place starting in the Song Dynasty. 21．When did the most known trade route start? A．In about 3000 BCE. B．In about 1600 BCE. C．In the 15th century. D．In the 1st century BCE. 22．What is special about the Spice Routes? A．They were sea trade roads. B．They linked the East and West. C．Their remains can be found today. D．They were the longest trade roads. 23．What do the ancient trade routes show? A．They began from BCE. B．They linked different continents. C．They contributed a lot to the world’s trade and culture. D．Goods traded through them came from ancient China. B The Clovis points used by prehistoric hunters to kill animals are also remarkably efficient at cutting meat off a large animal carcass (动物尸体) — at least according to a modern bull butchering experiment. The finding complicates our knowledge of prehistoric hunting practices. Archaeologists teamed up with modern hunters to compare how well copies of two types of prehistoric stone tools could harvest meat from an animal carcass. They used a humanely killed bull weighing more than 450 kilograms. ‌“This study actually showed that the Clovis points were more effective than what was presumed to be the butchery tool,” says Met in Eren at Kent State University in Ohio. The five hunters, associated with the MeatEater, an outdoor lifestyle company, spent just 3 hours and 10 minutes in completely butchering the bull using both stone tools. But the Clovis points achieved a butchering efficiency of 0.38 kilograms of meat per minute, whereas the hand-held stone flake tools processed 0.34 kilograms of meat per minute. The Clovis points, which were mounted on wooden handles, had the added benefit of not injuring any users, but the Clovis points also required frequent resharpening during the butchering. This is important because those things are not easy to make. Another surprise came from how a Clovis point broke in a way that was nearly identical to how another Clovis point on an atlatl weapon broke when thrown at an elephant carcass in a previous study. ‌“The possibility of snap breaks (折断) being mistaken for impact breaks is an eye-opener from the standpoint of interpreting how the Clovis points might have been used,” says Vance Holliday at the University of Arizona, who did not participate in the study. That means broken Clovis points discovered at prehistoric archaeological sites may not represent a‌“smoking gun for hunting”, as researchers previously believed. They could instead show how people ‌“came across an already dead animal and ate it”, says Eren. 24．What can we know about the Clovis points? A．They were the most popular tools used by prehistoric hunters. B．They were difficult to make due to their complicated design. C．They were more useful and practical than previously assumed. D．They were used by modern hunters for butchering experiments. 25．Which aspect did the archaeologists concentrate on? A．The efficiency of modern hunting tools. B．The technique of stone tool manufacturing. C．The comparison of different hunting practices. D．The meat harvesting capacity of prehistoric tools. 26．What does ‌“This” in paragraph 3 refer to? A．The benefit of the Clovis points. B．The efficiency of the Clovis points. C．Resharpening the Clovis points regularly. D．Redesigning the Clovis points frequently. 27．What does Vance Holliday think of the finding? A．Significant. B．Funny. C．Meaningless. D．Unscientific. C History as it is studied today begins with the earliest civilizations which left visual and literary evidence which historians can collect, analyse and interpret. Western historians begin with the Mesopotamians, the Ancient Egyptians, and especially the Ancient Greeks. These might be the first civilizations to produce complex texts, art and architecture to which we still have some access in the twenty-first century. Historians study the source evidence left by the people of these periods in order to understand who, how, why and what they were. We are then taught to form differing interpretations by other historians within our own theories and research, in order to create a balanced, informed and analytical article, book or documentary. The article must remain dispassionate and aim towards objectivity, removing any subjective prejudice which might emerge before and during research. However, it is too limiting and it can paint a false picture of the past to both professional and recreational readers, by focusing too narrowly on certain events or individuals and completely ignoring other seemingly less important events or individuals, through a lack of either evidence or interest. History as a series of events covers the lives of billions of people from every country for thousands of years. Each individual's actions and everyday life, from their birth until their death, whether emperor or peasant, is history, and worthy of study in its own right. Furthermore, to be objective in an historical essay, one must be separated from one's study, having no emotional reaction to the evidence and maintaining a tolerance and relativity to historical context, so that the evidence will not be destroyed by modern preconceptions (成见). However, absolute separation, whether through attempted objectivity or distance of time, is useless to historical study. Pure objectivity can never be realized as we are all highly subjective, emotional beings, and what we write will always reflect this: it is what makes us human, and humanity is what we study. 28．How did the earliest civilizations help historians? A．By providing first-hand materials. B．By recording analytical skills. C．By simplifying historical research. D．By presenting valuable works. 29．What's the difference between the former and present historians? A．Approaches to text analysis. B．Analysis of historical novels. C．Attitudes to previous research. D．Willingness to stay subjective. 30．Why is pure objectivity criticized according to the passage? A．It ignores events with no significance. B．It cuts the ties between certain events. C．It shows an unclear image of the past. D．It acts against human beings' nature. 31．What is the suitable title for the passage? A．History: The Subject Affected by Social Environment. B．History: The Study of the Subjective and Unimportant. C．Subjectivity: An Element Hard to Overcome for People. D．Subjectivity: An Element Beneficial to Old Civilizations. D The Great Sphinx of Giza, Egypt, is one of civilisation’s greatest mysteries. No one knows for sure exactly when, why, or how it was built. It is an enormous sculpture, believed to be the biggest ever created. It measures about 241 feet (73.5 metres) long and 66 feet (20 metres) high. Due to its unknown origin, this massive creation has puzzled locals, tourists, historians, and archaeologists for centuries. The Sphinx has the body of a lion and the head of a man, which gives it the appearance of a mythical creature. It remains mostly intact today, with the exception of its nose. Many legends surround the missing nose, but a widely accepted explanation is that a former ruler had the nose carved off at some point after its creation. Most archaeologists believe that the Sphinx was built about 4,600 years ago by a pharaoh (法老), or ruler, named Khafre. His pyramid, the giant tomb that holds Khafre’s body, is located directly behind the Sphinx. Stone blocks cut out in order to carve the Sphinx’s face were used to build the Khafre Valley Temple at about the same time. Some historians also believe the Sphinx’s face was modelled after the face of Khafre. For most of its existence, the Sphinx was buried in sand. One story claims that around 1400 BC, the pharaoh Thutmose IV dreamt that the Sphinx ordered him to clear away the sand in return for the crown (王位) of Egypt. The sand soon buried the Sphinx again, however. In the 1850s, the sand was partially cleared, and in the 1930s, the Sphinx was totally exposed. Now, wind, humidity, and smog are causing the Sphinx to crumble (碎裂). Archaeologists must act quickly to preserve this mysterious symbol of Egypt. 32．Why is the Sphinx considered to be mysterious? A．People know little about it. B．Wind and smog didn’t break it down. C．It is the biggest sculpture ever made. D．It was buried in the sand for centuries. 33．What does the underlined word “intact” in paragraph 2 mean? A．Complete. B．Sensitive. C．Mysterious. D．Confusing. 34．What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A．The history of Khafre’s famous tomb. B．Documents recording Khafre’s ruling of Egypt. C．Khafre’s great achievement in building the Sphinx. D．Evidence supporting Khafre’s building of the Sphinx. 35．What does the author call on archaeologists to do? A．Dig out the Sphinx completely. B．Take action to protect the Sphinx. C．Further understand the symbol of Egypt. D．Restore the Sphinx to attract more people. 第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Today’s sharks are nothing compared to their ancient cousins. 36 . They could have eaten a creature the size of a killer whale in just five bites, new research suggests. In a study published in the journal Science Advances, researchers used fossil evidence to create a 3D model of the megalodon — one of the biggest fish of all time — and find clues (线索) about its life. 37 , according to the study. That’s about two to three times the size of today’s great white shark. Based on their digital model, researchers calculated that the megalodon would have weighed around 70 tons, or as much as 10 elephants. The megalodon, which lived about 23 million to 2.6 million years ago, was also a strong swimmer. 38 . It could have easily moved across several oceans. It’s been difficult for scientists to get a clear picture of the megalodon, said study author Catalina Pimiento. The megalodon’s skeleton (骨骼) is made of cartilage (软骨) that doesn’t fossilize well, Pimiento said. 39 . They included a rare collection of bones that’s been at a museum in Belgium since the 1860s. Researchers also studied the megalodon’s teeth — each one as big as a human fist. 40 , said Michael Gottfried, a paleontologist at Michigan State University. However, he said the study’s findings are reasonable based on what is known about the giant shark. A．These areas provided enough food sources B．Sometimes sharks can attack people in the sea C．Its average speed was higher than sharks today D．So the scientists examined what few fossils are available E．The giant sharks swam in the ocean millions of years ago F．The exact cause of the megalodon’s extinction is still a subject of debate G．At around 16 meters from nose to tail, the megalodon was bigger than a large coach 第三部分　语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Andy Elliott shares his lifelong passion for uncovering history. As a child in Milton Keynes, he found fossils (化石) and ancient objects, stimulating his 41 about the past. A local historian took him under his wing. Later, he 42 this passion with diving, opening up a world of underwater exploration. In 1999, Andy co-founded the South West Maritime Archaeological Group(SWMAG) with friends to search for ocean treasures.

The dream 57 (eventual) came true recently as some of the earliest discovered oracle bones (甲骨), which are now stored in Tianjin Museum, traveled to the Yinxu Museum in Anyang for 58 new exhibition. This marked for the first time, these oracle bones 59 (bring) back to where they were unearthed. The bones were used 60 (record) and compose the earliest-known formal writing system in China. According to the exhibition’s curator Zhang Xia, Tianjin Museum houses more than 1,700 oracle bones spanning the late Shang Dynasty from collectors 61 played significant roles in obtaining them during the 20th century. The 36 bones 62 display were carefully chosen from the large collection, with detailed records 63 (carve) into oracle bones that offer a glimpse of the era’s society. In the meantime, they also showcase ancient people’s creativity and 64 (wise). Today, over 150,000 oracle bones have been discovered at Yinxu Ruins, with around 4,500 distinct characters. These invaluable relics connect us to our ancestors, 65 (offer) a profound insight into Chinese ancient civilization and national heritage. 第四部分　写作(共两节，满分40分) 第一节(满分15分) 66．请你根据以下信息以“The Pyramid Under the Sea”为题，用英语写一篇80词左右的短文，介绍世界未解之谜之一——日本海底金字塔。 1．日本海底金字塔是由日本科学家于2007年发现的，据说这座金字塔距今已有5 000多年的历史。 2．有的科学家认为这座金字塔是自然形成的，有人认为这是古代人类遗址(remains)，因为在这里发现了人类活动的印迹。但是目前仍然没有科学依据证明哪一种说法是正确的。 3．大多数科学家都认为是地震使这座金字塔沉入了海底。 The Pyramid Under the Sea ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第二节(满分25分) 67．阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 I love digging in the back garden. Sometimes, I’d dig for pottery and stuff, but I’ve always wanted to find a fossil (化石). I like finding out about the past. At school, my favourite subject is history. I’ve been watching Andy’s Prehistoric Adventures since I was three. I knew I had a good chance of finding a fossil, because my house was built on a muddy, limestone substrate (石灰岩基质), in Walsall, which means millions of years ago, my garden wasn’t my garden at all—it was a coral reef (珊瑚礁). On 22 March, it was a sunny day. I came back from school. I asked Dad if I could dig in my favourite spot by the yellow bush near our house, where we had planted potatoes and onions, but he told me not to, because he’d just moved a tree there and it was establishing roots. I went to the back garden instead, taking Dad’s old brown wooden garden tools. I dug a big hole, about a foot deep, which didn’t take very long, where I found a ball of mud with something pointy sticking out the top. I ran into the kitchen screaming. I was so excited. I knew it was a fossil. At first, I thought it might be a deer’s tooth or a goat’s claw. When Dad washed the mud off, we saw that it had lots of bumpy, wavy lines; we both thought it looked like one of the sea anemones, from the fish tank in his office, but with a horn(触角). Dad sent a video to the Fossil Finds UK Facebook group. A man calling himself an archaeologist (考古学家) replied saying it had the markings of a horn coral from the Palaeozoic era, which is the very beginnings of life on Earth. I had found one of the oldest fossils in England. We looked in my books and online for more information. We typed our postcode into a British Geology Survey search where you can find out what you’re standing on—ours is the oldest substrate in the area, with lots of clay and limestone, but it’s unusual to find anything so close to the surface. Experts told us that my horn coral lived between 415 million and 480 million years ago. There weren’t even proper fish or sharks then. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式作答。 Before the horn coral, the only fossils I was familiar with were shark teeth that Dad got me. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When I grow up, I want to be an archaeologist (考古学家). ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 1 / 11 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司zxxk.com 学科网（北京）股份有限公司zxxk.com 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$听力考试正式开始。Wow, your dad did a great job.

Listen to the next question. The desire to stay cool is, of course, nothing new. The ancient egyptians and romance employed various techniques to cool down their buildings from the outside heat.

These roads also facilitated cultural exchanges. Here are several that changed the world. The Silk Road The Silk Road is the most famous ancient trade route, linking the major ancient civilizations of China and the Roman Empire. Silk was traded from China to the Roman Empire beginning in the 1st century BCE in exchange for wool, silver, and gold coming from Europe. In addition to fostering trade, the Silk Road also became a vital route for the spread of knowledge, technology, religion, and art. The Spice Routes Unlike most of the other trade routes, the Spice Routes were oceanic paths linking the East to the West. Pepper, cloves and cinnamon were all hugely sought-after goods in Europe. From the 15th century to the 17th century, navigation technology made sailing long distances from Europe possible. Europeans took to the seas to create direct trading relationships with Indonesia, China, and Japan. Spice trade fueled the development of faster ships. The Amber (琥珀) Routes Amber has been traded since about 3000 BCE, with amber beads from the Baltic Sea region having reached as far as Egypt. The Romans, who valued the amber for both decorative and medicinal purposes, developed the Amber Routes linking the Baltic states with the rest of Europe. Today, you can find traces of the old Amber Road in Poland, where one of the major routes is known as the Amber Highway. The Tea Horse Road This ancient route winds for more than 6,000 miles, through the Hengduan Mountains—a major tea-producing area in China — and on to Xizang and India. The main goods traveling the route were Chinese tea and Xizang’s warhorses. Parts of the route were used starting about 1600 BCE, but people began using the entire path from around the 7th century, and large-scale trade began taking place starting in the Song Dynasty. 21．When did the most known trade route start? A．In about 3000 BCE. B．In about 1600 BCE. C．In the 15th century. D．In the 1st century BCE. 22．What is special about the Spice Routes? A．They were sea trade roads. B．They linked the East and West. C．Their remains can be found today. D．They were the longest trade roads. 23．What do the ancient trade routes show? A．They began from BCE. B．They linked different continents. C．They contributed a lot to the world’s trade and culture. D．Goods traded through them came from ancient China. 【答案】21．D 22．A 23．C 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章介绍了四条改变了世界的著名商路。 21．细节理解题。根据The Silk Road部分“The Silk Road is the most famous ancient trade route, linking the major ancient civilizations of China and the Roman Empire. Silk was traded from China to the Roman Empire beginning in the 1st century BCE in exchange for wool, silver, and gold coming from Europe.(丝绸之路是最著名的古代贸易路线，连接了中国和罗马帝国的主要古代文明。从公元前1世纪开始，丝绸就从中国运往罗马帝国，用来交换来自欧洲的羊毛、银和金)”可知，最著名的贸易路线开始于公元前1世纪。故选D。 22．细节理解题。根据The Spice Routes部分“Unlike most of the other trade routes, the Spice Routes were oceanic paths linking the East to the West.(与大多数其他贸易路线不同，香料之路是连接东方和西方的海洋之路)”可知，香料之路是海上贸易之路。故选A。 23．细节理解题。根据第一段“Trade routes linking places of production to places of commerce have popped up throughout ancient history. These roads also facilitated cultural exchanges.(纵观古代历史，连接生产地点和商业地点的贸易路线层出不穷。这些道路也促进了文化交流)”可知，古代贸易路线显示了对世界贸易和文化做出了很大贡献。故选C。 B The Clovis points used by prehistoric hunters to kill animals are also remarkably efficient at cutting meat off a large animal carcass (动物尸体) — at least according to a modern bull butchering experiment. The finding complicates our knowledge of prehistoric hunting practices. Archaeologists teamed up with modern hunters to compare how well copies of two types of prehistoric stone tools could harvest meat from an animal carcass. They used a humanely killed bull weighing more than 450 kilograms. ‌“This study actually showed that the Clovis points were more effective than what was presumed to be the butchery tool,” says Met in Eren at Kent State University in Ohio. The five hunters, associated with the MeatEater, an outdoor lifestyle company, spent just 3 hours and 10 minutes in completely butchering the bull using both stone tools. But the Clovis points achieved a butchering efficiency of 0.38 kilograms of meat per minute, whereas the hand-held stone flake tools processed 0.34 kilograms of meat per minute. The Clovis points, which were mounted on wooden handles, had the added benefit of not injuring any users, but the Clovis points also required frequent resharpening during the butchering. This is important because those things are not easy to make. Another surprise came from how a Clovis point broke in a way that was nearly identical to how another Clovis point on an atlatl weapon broke when thrown at an elephant carcass in a previous study. ‌“The possibility of snap breaks (折断) being mistaken for impact breaks is an eye-opener from the standpoint of interpreting how the Clovis points might have been used,” says Vance Holliday at the University of Arizona, who did not participate in the study. That means broken Clovis points discovered at prehistoric archaeological sites may not represent a‌“smoking gun for hunting”, as researchers previously believed. They could instead show how people ‌“came across an already dead animal and ate it”, says Eren. 24．What can we know about the Clovis points? A．They were the most popular tools used by prehistoric hunters. B．They were difficult to make due to their complicated design. C．They were more useful and practical than previously assumed. D．They were used by modern hunters for butchering experiments. 25．Which aspect did the archaeologists concentrate on? A．The efficiency of modern hunting tools. B．The technique of stone tool manufacturing. C．The comparison of different hunting practices. D．The meat harvesting capacity of prehistoric tools. 26．What does ‌“This” in paragraph 3 refer to? A．The benefit of the Clovis points. B．The efficiency of the Clovis points. C．Resharpening the Clovis points regularly. D．Redesigning the Clovis points frequently. 27．What does Vance Holliday think of the finding? A．Significant. B．Funny. C．Meaningless. D．Unscientific. 【答案】24．C 25．D 26．C 27．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了考古学家与现代猎人合作进行实验，比较两种史前石器从动物尸体上获取肉的效率，揭示了克洛维斯矛头比预想更有用，也对其用途有了新认识。 24．细节理解题。根据第一段“The Clovis points used by prehistoric hunters to kill animals are also remarkably efficient at cutting meat off a large animal carcass (动物尸体) — at least according to a modern bull butchering experiment. The finding complicates our knowledge of prehistoric hunting practices.(至少根据一项现代公牛屠宰实验，史前猎人用来杀死动物的克洛维斯矛头在从大型动物尸体上切肉方面也非常有效。这一发现使我们对史前狩猎方式的认识更加复杂)”以及第二段中“This study actually showed that the Clovis points were more effective than what was presumed to be the butchery tool(这项研究实际上表明，克洛维斯矛头比被认为是屠宰工具的东西更有效)”可知，克洛维斯矛头比之前认为的更有用和实用。故选C项。 25．细节理解题。根据第二段中“Archaeologists teamed up with modern hunters to compare how well copies of two types of prehistoric stone tools could harvest meat from an animal carcass.(考古学家与现代猎人合作，比较两种史前石器的复制品从动物尸体上获取肉的效果如何)”可知，考古学家关注的是史前工具的肉类获取能力。故选D项。 26．词句猜测题。根据划线词所在句“The Clovis points, which were mounted on wooden handles, had the added benefit of not injuring any users, but the Clovis points also required frequent resharpening during the butchering. This is important because those things are not easy to make.(安装在木柄上的克洛维斯矛头还有一个好处，就是不会伤害任何使用者，但在屠宰过程中，克洛维斯矛头也需要经常重新打磨。这很重要，因为这些东西不容易制作)”和指代关系可知，“This”指的是上文提到的“经常重新打磨克洛维斯矛头”这件事。故选C项。 27．推理判断题。根据第四段中Vance Holliday的话“The possibility of snap breaks (折断) being mistaken for impact breaks is an eye-opener from the standpoint of interpreting how the Clovis points might have been used(从解释克洛维斯矛头可能的使用方式的角度来看，折断被误认为是撞击断裂的可能性是一个令人大开眼界的发现)”可知，万斯·霍利迪认为这一发现很有意义。故选A项。 C History as it is studied today begins with the earliest civilizations which left visual and literary evidence which historians can collect, analyse and interpret. Western historians begin with the Mesopotamians, the Ancient Egyptians, and especially the Ancient Greeks. These might be the first civilizations to produce complex texts, art and architecture to which we still have some access in the twenty-first century. Historians study the source evidence left by the people of these periods in order to understand who, how, why and what they were. We are then taught to form differing interpretations by other historians within our own theories and research, in order to create a balanced, informed and analytical article, book or documentary. The article must remain dispassionate and aim towards objectivity, removing any subjective prejudice which might emerge before and during research. However, it is too limiting and it can paint a false picture of the past to both professional and recreational readers, by focusing too narrowly on certain events or individuals and completely ignoring other seemingly less important events or individuals, through a lack of either evidence or interest. History as a series of events covers the lives of billions of people from every country for thousands of years. Each individual's actions and everyday life, from their birth until their death, whether emperor or peasant, is history, and worthy of study in its own right. Furthermore, to be objective in an historical essay, one must be separated from one's study, having no emotional reaction to the evidence and maintaining a tolerance and relativity to historical context, so that the evidence will not be destroyed by modern preconceptions (成见). However, absolute separation, whether through attempted objectivity or distance of time, is useless to historical study. Pure objectivity can never be realized as we are all highly subjective, emotional beings, and what we write will always reflect this: it is what makes us human, and humanity is what we study. 28．How did the earliest civilizations help historians? A．By providing first-hand materials. B．By recording analytical skills. C．By simplifying historical research. D．By presenting valuable works. 29．What's the difference between the former and present historians? A．Approaches to text analysis. B．Analysis of historical novels. C．Attitudes to previous research. D．Willingness to stay subjective. 30．Why is pure objectivity criticized according to the passage? A．It ignores events with no significance. B．It cuts the ties between certain events. C．It shows an unclear image of the past. D．It acts against human beings' nature. 31．What is the suitable title for the passage? A．History: The Subject Affected by Social Environment. B．History: The Study of the Subjective and Unimportant. C．Subjectivity: An Element Hard to Overcome for People. D．Subjectivity: An Element Beneficial to Old Civilizations. 【答案】28．A 29．C 30．D 31．B 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章论述了历史研究工作并非纯粹客观的，会受到研究者自身主观心态和所处环境的影响。 28．细节理解题。根据第一段中的“History as it is studied today begins with the earliest civilizations which left visual and literary evidence which historians can collect, analyse and interpret.(今天所研究的历史始于最早的文明，这些文明留下了历史学家可以收集、分析和解释的视觉和文学证据)”可知，最早的文明通过提供第一手资料帮助历史学家。 故选A。 29．推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Historians study the source evidence left by the people of these periods in order to understand who, how, why and what they were. We are then taught to form differing interpretations by other historians within our own theories and research, in order to create a balanced, informed and analytical article, book or documentary.(历史学家研究这些时期人们留下的原始证据，以了解他们是谁，如何，为什么和什么。然后，我们被教导在我们自己的理论和研究中形成其他历史学家的不同解释，以创造一篇平衡的、见多识广的、分析性的文章、书籍或纪录片)”可知，过去的历史学家研究这些时期人们留下的原始证据，如今我们会在自己的理论和研究中形成不同的见解，从而创造各类文化作品。这种差异会造成过去和现在的历史学家对先前研究的态度或看法不同。故选C。 30．细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“Pure objectivity can never be realized as we are all highly subjective, emotional beings, and what we write will always reflect this: it is what makes us human, and humanity is what we study.(纯粹的客观性永远不可能实现，因为我们都是高度主观的、情绪化的生物，我们写的东西总是反映出这一点：它使我们成为人类，人性是我们研究的对象)”由此可见，人类的本质决定了历史研究不可能是纯粹客观的。故选D。 31．主旨大意题。第一段是引入研究背景；第二段通过不同历史学家的见解引出客观性这一问题；第三段讲述的是过度强调客观性的危害，即导致我们忽视那些看似不重要的事件或人物；第四段从人的本质角度解释了纯粹的客观性不会实现的原因。由此可见，文章讲述了历史研究工作并非纯粹客观的，会受到研究者自身主观心态和所处环境的影响。B项“历史：主观性和不重要事物的研究”为最佳标题。故选B。 D The Great Sphinx of Giza, Egypt, is one of civilisation’s greatest mysteries. No one knows for sure exactly when, why, or how it was built. It is an enormous sculpture, believed to be the biggest ever created. It measures about 241 feet (73.5 metres) long and 66 feet (20 metres) high. Due to its unknown origin, this massive creation has puzzled locals, tourists, historians, and archaeologists for centuries. The Sphinx has the body of a lion and the head of a man, which gives it the appearance of a mythical creature. It remains mostly intact today, with the exception of its nose. Many legends surround the missing nose, but a widely accepted explanation is that a former ruler had the nose carved off at some point after its creation. Most archaeologists believe that the Sphinx was built about 4,600 years ago by a pharaoh (法老), or ruler, named Khafre. His pyramid, the giant tomb that holds Khafre’s body, is located directly behind the Sphinx. Stone blocks cut out in order to carve the Sphinx’s face were used to build the Khafre Valley Temple at about the same time. Some historians also believe the Sphinx’s face was modelled after the face of Khafre. For most of its existence, the Sphinx was buried in sand. One story claims that around 1400 BC, the pharaoh Thutmose IV dreamt that the Sphinx ordered him to clear away the sand in return for the crown (王位) of Egypt. The sand soon buried the Sphinx again, however. In the 1850s, the sand was partially cleared, and in the 1930s, the Sphinx was totally exposed. Now, wind, humidity, and smog are causing the Sphinx to crumble (碎裂). Archaeologists must act quickly to preserve this mysterious symbol of Egypt. 32．Why is the Sphinx considered to be mysterious? A．People know little about it. B．Wind and smog didn’t break it down. C．It is the biggest sculpture ever made. D．It was buried in the sand for centuries. 33．What does the underlined word “intact” in paragraph 2 mean? A．Complete. B．Sensitive. C．Mysterious. D．Confusing. 34．What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A．The history of Khafre’s famous tomb. B．Documents recording Khafre’s ruling of Egypt. C．Khafre’s great achievement in building the Sphinx. D．Evidence supporting Khafre’s building of the Sphinx. 35．What does the author call on archaeologists to do? A．Dig out the Sphinx completely. B．Take action to protect the Sphinx. C．Further understand the symbol of Egypt. D．Restore the Sphinx to attract more people. 【答案】32．A 33．A 34．D 35．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了埃及狮身人面像，包括其外观、建造历史、传说以及现状。 32．细节理解题。根据第一段“No one knows for sure exactly when, why, or how it was built.(没有人确切知道它建造的时间、原因和方式。)”可知，狮身人面像的神秘性源于人们对它的起源和建造细节知之甚少。故选A项。 33．词义猜测题。根据第二段“It remains mostly intact today, with the exception of its nose. Many legends surround the missing nose (如今它大部分保持……，除了鼻子部分。围绕这只失踪的鼻子有许多传说)”可知，狮身人面像的鼻子失踪了，再根据“with the exception of(除外)”可推理出，此处说的是指狮身人面像主体结构未被破坏，可推理出“intact”的含义为“完整的”。故选A项。 34．主旨大意题。根据第三段“Most archaeologists believe that the Sphinx was built about 4,600 years ago by a pharaoh named Khafre.(大多数考古学家认为狮身人面像是法老Khafre建造的)”以及“Stone blocks cut out in order to carve the Sphinx’s face were used to build the Khafre Valley Temple at about the same time. Some historians also believe the Sphinx’s face was modelled after the face of Khafre(为了雕刻狮身人面像的面部而切割下来的石块，大约在同一时间被用来建造了卡夫拉河谷神庙。一些历史学家还认为，狮身人面像的面部是按照卡夫拉的面貌塑造的)”可知，大多数考古学家认为狮身人面像是法老Khafre建造的，为了雕刻狮身人面像的面部而切割下来的石块，大约在同一时间被用来建造了卡夫拉河谷神庙，可推理出本段重点在于提供Khafre建造狮身人面像的证据。故选D项。 35．细节理解题。根据最后一段“Now, wind, humidity, and smog are causing the Sphinx to crumble. Archaeologists must act quickly to preserve this mysterious symbol of Egypt(如今风、湿度和烟雾导致狮身人面像碎裂，考古学家必须迅速行动保护这一埃及的象征)”可知，作者呼吁考古学家采取保护措施。故选B项。 第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Today’s sharks are nothing compared to their ancient cousins. 36 . They could have eaten a creature the size of a killer whale in just five bites, new research suggests. In a study published in the journal Science Advances, researchers used fossil evidence to create a 3D model of the megalodon — one of the biggest fish of all time — and find clues (线索) about its life. 37 , according to the study. That’s about two to three times the size of today’s great white shark. Based on their digital model, researchers calculated that the megalodon would have weighed around 70 tons, or as much as 10 elephants. The megalodon, which lived about 23 million to 2.6 million years ago, was also a strong swimmer. 38 . It could have easily moved across several oceans. It’s been difficult for scientists to get a clear picture of the megalodon, said study author Catalina Pimiento. The megalodon’s skeleton (骨骼) is made of cartilage (软骨) that doesn’t fossilize well, Pimiento said. 39 . They included a rare collection of bones that’s been at a museum in Belgium since the 1860s. Researchers also studied the megalodon’s teeth — each one as big as a human fist. 40 , said Michael Gottfried, a paleontologist at Michigan State University. However, he said the study’s findings are reasonable based on what is known about the giant shark.

Sometimes, I’d dig for pottery and stuff, but I’ve always wanted to find a fossil (化石). I like finding out about the past. At school, my favourite subject is history. I’ve been watching Andy’s Prehistoric Adventures since I was three. I knew I had a good chance of finding a fossil, because my house was built on a muddy, limestone substrate (石灰岩基质), in Walsall, which means millions of years ago, my garden wasn’t my garden at all—it was a coral reef (珊瑚礁). On 22 March, it was a sunny day. I came back from school. I asked Dad if I could dig in my favourite spot by the yellow bush near our house, where we had planted potatoes and onions, but he told me not to, because he’d just moved a tree there and it was establishing roots. I went to the back garden instead, taking Dad’s old brown wooden garden tools. I dug a big hole, about a foot deep, which didn’t take very long, where I found a ball of mud with something pointy sticking out the top. I ran into the kitchen screaming. I was so excited. I knew it was a fossil. At first, I thought it might be a deer’s tooth or a goat’s claw. When Dad washed the mud off, we saw that it had lots of bumpy, wavy lines; we both thought it looked like one of the sea anemones, from the fish tank in his office, but with a horn(触角). Dad sent a video to the Fossil Finds UK Facebook group. A man calling himself an archaeologist (考古学家) replied saying it had the markings of a horn coral from the Palaeozoic era, which is the very beginnings of life on Earth. I had found one of the oldest fossils in England. We looked in my books and online for more information. We typed our postcode into a British Geology Survey search where you can find out what you’re standing on—ours is the oldest substrate in the area, with lots of clay and limestone, but it’s unusual to find anything so close to the surface. Experts told us that my horn coral lived between 415 million and 480 million years ago. There weren’t even proper fish or sharks then. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式作答。 Before the horn coral, the only fossils I was familiar with were shark teeth that Dad got me. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When I grow up, I want to be an archaeologist (考古学家). ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: Before the horn coral, the only fossils I was familiar with were shark teeth that Dad got me. Since our find, Dad and I have been doing more digging in the garden. We have moved out of the flowerbeds and on to the lawn. We’ve found stone blocks with hundreds of tiny traces from coral. We’ve got 11 pieces in total, but the horn coral is our biggest. The more fossils I got, the more obsessed I became with them. When I grow up, I want to be an archaeologist. In this case, I will be able to study rocks and find out where they came from. I will make a display case for my finds and, one day, I hope to turn my fossils into a mini museum and make it free for people to visit. In addition, I want to spread stories of each fossil across the world. 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者从小就喜欢历史，喜欢在后花园挖土，希望能够挖出化石。终于有一天，作者挖出了化石，专家认为它有着来自古生代的角珊瑚的痕迹，是英国最古老的化石之一。自此，作者更是和父亲一起坚持不懈地挖掘，并有了更多的发现，作者也因此立志成为一名考古学家，对未来有了清晰的目标。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“在发现角珊瑚之前，我唯一熟悉的化石是爸爸给我的鲨鱼牙齿。”可知，第一段可描写作者在发现角珊瑚之后更加有了动力，继续挖掘，有了更多的发现。 ②由第二段首句内容“当我长大了，想成为一名考古学家。”可知，第二段可描写作者对未来的憧憬和设想。 2.续写线索：发现角珊瑚之前——发现角珊瑚之后，继续挖掘——发现了更多的化石——对化石越来越迷恋——立志成为考古学家——憧憬并设想未来。 3.词汇激活： 行为类 ①发现：find/spot ②获得：get/gain ③希望：hope/expect 情绪类 ①痴迷的、着迷的：obsessed/addicted 【点睛】【高分句型1】The more fossils I got, the more obsessed I became with them.（运用了“the+比较级..., the+ 比较级... 越……越……”的句式） 【高分句型2】In this case, I will be able to study rocks and find out where they came from. （运用了以连接副词where引导的宾语从句） 23 / 23 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司zxxk.com 学科网（北京）股份有限公司zxxk.com 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
