For thousands of years, Chinese people created great culture and inventions that changed the world. One of the most famous ancient inventions is papermaking. Before papermaking was invented, people wrote on bamboo slips or silk. Bamboo slips were heavy to carry, and silk was too expensive for common people. About 1,900 years ago, Cai Lun improved papermaking. He made paper from tree bark, old cloth and fishing nets. This kind of paper was cheap and easy to make. Soon it became popular all over China and later spread to the whole world. Another great invention is the wheel. Ancient Chinese people used wheels on carts. Wheels made transportation much easier. People could carry more things and travel faster. This small invention greatly helped the development of ancient trade and life. Ancient Chinese people also built many great buildings. The Great Wall is one of the greatest wonders in the world. It was built to protect the country. It shows the great wisdom and courage of ancient Chinese people. Today, we still benefit a lot from ancient inventions and culture. We should remember history and pass down our traditional culture. 26. What was the problem of writing materials before papermaking? A. Paper was too expensive. B. Bamboo slips were too light. C. Silk was not affordable for ordinary people. D. There were no writing materials at all. 27. Which material did Cai Lun NOT use to make paper? A. Tree bark B. Old cloth C. Plastic D. Fishing nets 28. What can we know about the wheel invention? A. It made people’s travel slower. B. It improved ancient transportation and trade. C. It was the only great ancient invention. D. It was invented by Cai Lun. 29. What is the purpose of the passage? A. To introduce several great ancient Chinese inventions. B. To tell us how Cai Lun invented paper. C. To describe the building process of the Great Wall. D. To compare ancient and modern transport. B Nowadays, many young people know little about ancient life and history. They are used to modern fast-paced life and think the past is old and useless. But in fact, learning about the past is very important for teenagers. First, learning history helps us know the origin of our culture. Many of our traditions, festivals and habits come from ancient times. By studying the past, we can understand why we keep these customs and respect our traditional culture better. Second, history teaches us lessons. Ancient people experienced many difficulties and failures. Their stories tell us what we should do and what we shouldn’t do. We can avoid making the same mistakes and grow better. Third, knowing the past makes us cherish the present. Ancient people lived a hard life with poor living conditions, no modern medical care and convenient traffic. Compared with them, we have a much better life. It encourages us to study hard and value our life. In addition, history builds our national confidence. Our country has a long history and splendid culture. The great achievements of ancient ancestors make us proud of our nation. In a word, the past is the best teacher. Teenagers should spend more time learning history, looking into the past and facing the future bravely. 30. What do many young people think of the past life? A. Meaningful B. Old and useless C. Educational D. Wonderful 31. How many reasons does the writer give to show the importance of learning history? A. Two B. Three C. Four D. Five 32. What is the benefit of learning history? A. It helps us make more money. B. It lets us ignore traditional customs. C. It helps us avoid similar mistakes. D. It makes us dislike modern life. 33. What is the main idea of the passage? A. The differences between past and present life. B. The importance of teenagers learning history. C. How ancient people created great culture. D. Why young people dislike history learning. C Cultural relics are the silent witnesses of history. They include old buildings, ancient tools, paintings and all kinds of old objects. They record the development of human society and carry the memory of our nation. However, many cultural relics are in danger now. Some old buildings are destroyed by natural disasters like storms and earthquakes. Some are damaged by human activities. People cut down trees around relic sites or even break old relics for fun. What’s worse, some people steal ancient relics for money. Protecting cultural relics is everyone’s duty. For students, we can do simple but meaningful things. First, we can learn more knowledge about cultural relics and history to realize their value. Second, we should never damage or touch ancient relics when we visit museums or historic sites. Third, we can tell our family and friends the importance of protecting relics. We can also make posters or give small speeches to call on more people to join us. Cultural relics are irreplaceable. Once they are destroyed, they can never come back. Protecting them is protecting our history and our root. 34. What does the underlined word “irreplaceable” mean in Chinese? A. 可修复的 B. 独一无二的 C. 极易损坏的 D. 默默无闻的 35. Which of the following is NOT the danger for cultural relics? A. Natural disasters B. Human damage C. People’s protection D. Illegal stealing 36. What can students do to protect cultural relics? A. Touch old relics carefully. B. Learn related knowledge and spread protection ideas. C. Steal small relics for collection. D. Cut down trees near historic sites. 37. From the passage, we can know that ______. A. cultural relics can be easily rebuilt after damage B. only experts need to protect cultural relics C. cultural relics keep the memory of our nation D. museums don’t allow students to visit relics D Archaeology（考古学）helps us dig out the secrets hidden in the past. Archaeologists carefully dig at ancient sites. They collect broken pots, bones and other small objects. These small things can tell us how ancient people ate, worked and lived. Archaeologists don’t dig quickly. They work slowly and carefully. Even a small piece of pottery may carry important information. After digging, they clean, study and record everything they find. Archaeology also helps us correct some wrong ideas about history. Sometimes old stories are not completely true. The real objects found at sites can show us the truth. Studying archaeology is not only for scientists. Teenagers can also learn about it through museum visits and history books. It opens a window for us to look into the past. 38. What do archaeologists find at ancient sites? A. Only complete ancient buildings B. Old objects that tell ancient people’s life C. Modern machines used long ago D. New stories written by ancient people 39. Why do archaeologists work slowly? A. Because digging is boring B. Because they need to protect every ancient object C. Because they have few tools D. Because they only work for fun 40. What can archaeology do according to the text? A. Change modern life right away B. Help us find gold and treasure C. Help us know the true history D. Create new ancient culture Ⅳ. 词汇运用（每空1分，共10分） 根据汉语提示完成单词。 41. The ________（古代的）people created many amazing inventions. 42.
