Qin hopes her work can help 6 the beauty of these ancient paintings with more people.“The real murals can’t be moved from the caves,” she said, “but by making copies, we can 7 and let more people see them.” The young artist plans to study more about these historical art works. She also wants to 8 Chinese culture around the world.“These old paintings can still encourage young artists today,” Qin believes.

It was covered by thick forests for centuries. The Mayans lived there over 1,000 years ago. They were good at farming, writing, maths and building amazing stone buildings like temples and palaces. ▲ The main reason was that most work had to be done by hand to make a discovery. Scientists had to cut down overgrown plants as they walked through the forest. It was hard and took lots of time. Later, a technology, LiDAR, makes it possible for scientists to discover hidden ancient villages more easily. To use LiDAR, scientists fly a tiny flying machine over an area.The machine sends out thousands of laser beams (激光束). By recording how long it takes for the beams to return to the machine, scientists can make a 3D map of the ground below. This way, scientists can further study the remains long before they finally enter them. However, Luke’s team was not able to use LiDAR because it was too expensive.Luckily, Luke found a 2013 LiDAR map online made by other researchers. When Luke and his team studied the information, they were surprised to find thousands of Mayan structures (建筑) which made a large city. The city even had a field for ancient Mayan ball games. Luke believes that their discovery means there is a lot more to discover in that area. They plan to enter the newly discovered city to continue their research. “Maya cities are completely different from modern ones,” Luke said. “Studying them can give us ideas to make our cities better.” ( )1. Which of the following can be put in ▲ in Paragraph 2? A. When did Luke make this important discovery? B. Why did the city remain undiscovered for so long? C. How long did it take scientists to discover the city? D. What difficulties did scientists have during the process? ( )2. What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A. 3D maps. B. Thick forests. C. Laser lights. D. Ancient villages. ( )3. How did Luke and his team discover the Maya city? A. With the help of some photos. B. By entering the forest in person. C. With the help of a LiDAR map. D. By making a 3D map with a machine. ( )4. What does Luke talk about in the last paragraph? A. The value of this discovery. B. The abilities of his team. C. The customs of ancient people. D. The difficulties they faced. ( )5. What’s the best title for the passage? A. More Technologies for Research B. Hidden Maya City Found C. Meet the Powerful Ancient Maya D. New Technology Discovered B篇 The Zeng Houyi Chime Bells were found from the Zeng Houyi Tomb in Suizhou, Hubei Province in 1978. They are historically important treasure of China. The Zeng Houyi Chime Bells are hung (悬挂) at three levels and are divided into (划分为) eight groups. There are 19 bells in three groups at the top level, 33 bells in three groups at the middle level and 12 bells in two groups at the bottom level. In addition, there is a single and much larger bell used to change pitch (音高). The bells in each row are different from one another in shape and size. The Zeng Houyi Chime Bells are hung on two sets of wood racks (架子). One rack is 7.48 meters long and 2.65 meters wide. The other rack is 3.35 meters long and 2.73 meters wide. The two racks are perpendicular to each other, and they make an angle of ninety degrees. The Zeng Houyi Chime Bells weigh a total of 5 tons. The biggest bell is 153.4 cm in height and 203.6 kg in weight while the smallest bell is 20.4 cm in height and 2.4 kg in weight. Five musicians were needed to play the instrument in the past. These bells are sounded by striking. Because of their shapes, each bell could produce two different pitches—one if struck at the side; the other at the center. The whole set of chime bells is able to produce all the pitches of a modern piano. There are more than 2,800 Chinese characters about music and the making of the instrument on the bells. Instruments of such a level were quite uncommon in the world at that time. ( )6. The number of the whole set of chime bells is ________. A. 45. B. 52 C. 64 D. 65 ( )7. Which picture shows the meaning of “perpendicular” in Paragraph 3? ( )8. What is Paragraph 5 mainly about? A. Why the chime bells are struck. B. How these bells were played in the past. C. How many pitches each bell could produce. D. How many musicians were needed to play the bells in the past. ( )9. Which of the following is TRUE about the Zeng Houyi Chime Bells? A. They have a history of 46 years. B. They were made in the same shape and size. C. They can’t produce all the pitches of a modern instrument. D. They need striking in different places to produce two different pitches. ( )10. What is the writer’s attitude (态度) to the Zeng Houyi Chime Bells? A. He is proud of them. B. He dislikes them. C. He doesn’t care about them. D. He is worried about them. 任务三、阅读还原(有两项多余)。 Do you enjoy learning about life in the past?

Part2 单元写作过关 【写作导引】 本单元以“探寻历史”为话题, 属于“人与社会”主题范畴中“历史、社会与文化”这一主题群。此类话题常见的写作角度涉及: ①历史文物与遗址的介绍; ②历史探究过程的描述; ③历史对现在的意义和启示。 【写作任务】 假如你是校英语报的一名记者, 请你根据所给提示写一篇报道, 介绍1987 年一艘古代沉船在南海被发现的相关情况, 并发表在校英语报上。 要点如下: 1. 它是宋代的贸易船, 船上有许多精美的瓷器; 2. 这一发现是中国最大的水下考古发现, 为研究古代海上贸易提供了重要线索。 提示词: 精致的瓷器delicate porcelain; 瓷器图案porcelain patterns 要求: 1. 短文须包含以上所有要点, 可适当发挥; 2. 80 词左右。 【精彩范文】 In 1987, an ancient trading ship from the Song Dynasty was discovered in the South China Sea. After careful study, Chinese archaeologists discovered that the ship carried hundreds of delicate porcelain pieces, which were probably made for export. This discovery is China’s largest underwater archaeological discovery so far. The porcelain patterns and ship structure offer key clues about ancient sea trade routes and business with other countries. Thanks to this ship, we now understand more about China’s rich trading history over 800 years ago. 【跟踪演练】 为了丰富学校课程, 你校开展了研学旅行。假如你是李斌, 请根据以下表格提示内容, 给你的美国笔友Steven 写一封英文电子邮件, 分享你最近的一次研学旅行经历。 要求: 1.内容需包含表格中的要点信息(时间、地点、活动、收获), 适当补充细节(如所见文物、感受); 2. 不少于80 词。 时间 上周六 地点 省博物馆 活动 听考古学家讲座、观察文物、记笔记 收获 了解古代文化、钦佩古人工艺、热爱历史 __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Part1 单元阅读过关 一、1-10：ABCDC BADBC 二、1-5：BDCAB 6-10：DCBDA 三、1-5：EBCGA Part2 单元写作过关 Dear Steven, How are you doing? I want to share a wonderful study trip with you. Last Saturday, our school took us to the Provincial Museum. It was a great chance to learn about the past. At the museum, we first listened to a lecture by an archaeologist.He told us stories about ancient Chinese relics. Then we walked around to look at many interesting things like clay horses from the Han Dynasty and delicate porcelain from the Song Dynasty. I took some notes about their history and uses. I really learned a lot from this trip. I knew more about our ancient culture and admired the great craftsmanship of people long ago. Now I love our long history even more. Have you ever had a study trip like this? Please tell me about it! Yours, Li Bin ( 12 ) 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
