高中英语选择性必修第四册(外研版)
Archaeologists in Egypt have unearthed a
Sphinx statue(狮身人面像)with a smiley
face near the Hathor Temple,one of the coun-
try's best preserved ancient sites.The smiling
Sphinx is much smaller than the famous
Sphinx in Giza,which is 20 metres high.The
stone work of art,believed to be a stylized
representation of an ancient Roman emperor,
was found inside a two-level tomb near the
temple in southern Egypt.
Next to the beautifully and accurately
carved Sphinx,researchers had found a Roman
stone written in hieroglyph(象形文字).Once
fully translated,the stone may unveil the iden-
tity of the sculpted ruler,who could be Em-
peror Claudius.
The smiling Sphinx is among a series of
discoveries announced over the past few
months.The country has uncovered major ar-
chaeological discoveries in recent months,pri-
marily in the Saqgara cemetery(墓地)south
of Cairo as well as in Giza,home to the only
surviving structure of the seven wonders of the
ancient world.Recently,Egypt announced the
discovery of a hidden nine-metre passage in-
side the Great Pyramid of Giza,which may
lead to the actual burial room of pharaoh
老)Khuf,or Cheops..Further south,inLu-
xor,archaeologists had discovered a 1,800-
year-old complete residential city from the Ro-
man times.
Hathor Temple,about 500 kilometres
south of the capital Cairo,was home to the
Dendera Zodiac,a map which has been dis-
80)练
played at the Louvre in Paris for more than a
century.Since Frenchman Sebastien Louis
Saulnier took it out of the temple in 1922,
Egypt has been attempting to get it back.
Some experts see such announcements as
having more political and economic weight
than scientific,as Egypt is counting on tourism
to revive its vital tourism industry in a severe
economic crisis.The government aims to draw
in 30 million tourists a year by 2028.

Sylvain Saudan's skiing was so alarming-
ly daring that people struggled to believe his
achievements were real.The Swiss extreme
skiing pioneer became the first to successfully
rush down the Spencer Couloir's 55-degree
slope(斜坡)一with more than200 turns,at
speeds close to freefall on France's Aiguille
de Blaitiere mountain in 1967.Locals didn't
trust that he'd really done it until a plane flew
over the mountain and took photos of his ski
tracks.Nicknamed the "skier of the impossi-
ble",Saudan looked for slopes from the Hi-
malayas to the Alps,often reaching the tops
by helicopter.But in 1982,he climbed for 25
days to reach the26,500-foot summit(峰顶)
of Pakistan's Gasherbrum I,searching for un-
developed areas in its natural state."The first
to dare something are the real adventurers,"
he said in20l6.“It's the first that matters.”
Raised on a farm in the Alps,Saudan
didn't have the resources to train as a compe-
titive skier,and worked as a laborer and truck
driver before becoming a ski instructor.Teach-
ing through icy winters in Scotland helped
prepare him for deadly slopes.After skiing the
Spencer Couloir,he spent twenty years "look-
Unit 5 Into the unknown
ing for greater challenges and testing new
methods,"said The Washingion Post.He de-
veloped a new skiing style and introduced
equipment innovations for steep slopes,but ig-
nored safety measures as he shot down Ore-
gon's Mount Hood,Tanzania's Mount Kili-
manjaro,and Nepal's Dhaulagiri.
Saudan completed his last major journey
in 1986 by skiing down Mount Fuji on bare
rocks,walking away without a single cut."He
spent his life challenging gravity,avalanches
(雪崩),and obituary(讣告)writers,.”said
The New York Times.He insisted that mental
preparation helped keep fear cornered,yet
death was never far from his mind."There's
really only one way out,”he said:“Don't fall
down.”
)1.How did people react to Saudan's
achievement on the Spencer
Couloir's 55-degree slope?
A.They considered it as a fact at
once.
B.They were not aware of it
completely.
C.They thought of him as a skiing
pioneer
D.They doubted it till evidence
(证据)arrived.
()2.Which of the following can best
describe Saudan?
A.Adventurous and devoted.
B.Brave and generous
C.Creative but frightened.
D.Reserved but famous.
