Ⅰ.阅读理解 A 　　（2025·山东菏泽高二下期末） 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. 1.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. 2.What does the underlined word “intact” in paragraph 2 mean？（　　） A.Complete. B.Sensitive. C.Mysterious. D.Confusing. 3.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. 4.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. B 　　（2025·重庆高二下期末）Almost every machine with moving parts has wheels， yet no one knows exactly when the first wheel was invented or what it was used for. We do know， the evolution of wheels is a remarkable journey that has spanned over 5，500 years， with its origins tracing back to ancient Asia. 　　The oldest known transport wheel was discovered in 2002 in Slovenia. It is over 5，100 years old. Evidence suggests that wheels for transport didn’t become popular for a while， though. This could be because animals can carry heavy loads， such as farming tools， articles of daily use and humans around， making wheels seem unnecessary. 　　But it could also be because of a difficult situation. The construction of smooth road surfaces is crucial for the efficient operation of wheels. While wheels need to roll on smooth surface， roads with smooth surfaces weren’t going to be constructed until there was plenty of demand for them. Eventually， road surfaces did become smoother， but this difficult situation appeared again a few centuries later. There had been no important changes in wheel and vehicle design before the arrival of modern road design. 　　In the mid-1700s， a Frenchman came up with a new design of road — a base layer of large stones covered with a thin layer of smaller stones. A Scotsman improved on this design in the 1820s and a strong， lasting road surface became a reality. At around the same time， metal hubs （the central part of a wheel） came into being， followed by the pneumatic tyre （充气轮胎） in 1846. Alloy wheels were invented in 1967， sixty years after the appearance of tarmacked roads （柏油路）. As wheel design took off， vehicles got faster and faster. 　　Despite the reasons for their delayed popularity remaining unclear， it is evident that wheels have played a significant role in shaping the modern world. From ancient Asia to modern times， wheels have revolutionized transportation， making it faster， more efficient， and more accessible to people around the globe. 5.What might explain why transport wheels didn’t become popular for some time？（　　） A.Few knew how to use transport wheels. B.Humans carried farming tools just as well. C.Animals were a good means of transport. D.The existence of transport wheels was not known. 6.What do we know about road design from the passage？（　　） A.It was easier than wheel design. B.It improved after big changes in vehicle design. C.It had been no change before the arrival of wheel design. D.It contributed to the development of wheel design. 7.How is the fourth paragraph mainly developed？（　　） A.By following time order. B.By making comparisons. C.By giving data. D.By making explanations. 8.What is the passage mainly about？（　　） A.The beginning of road design. B.The development of transport wheels. C.The history of public transport. D.The invention of fast-moving vehicles.
