  Archaeologists Discover 110 New Warrior Statues in China

  After being barried for centuries,110 new warrior statues has been discovered in Xi’an,China.The statues are part of a collection of life­size figures of warriors and horses called the Terracotta Army(兵马俑).The group of more than 7,000 life­size clay sculptures was built in 210 B.C.to guard the tomb of China’s first emperor,Qin Shi Huang.

  Shen Maosheng,from the Qin Shi Huang Terracotta Warriors and Horses Museum,said archaeologists had located another 11 warriors but had not yet begun to dig the sculptures up.“The most significant discovery is that the relics that were found were well­preserved and colorfully painted,” Maosheng told AFP.

  The Warriors’ History

  The sculptures were discovered by a group of farmers in 1974.While digging a well,the workers found three pits filled with the lifelike figures,which were made of a type of terracotta clay.Experts say that long ago,Emperor Qin Shi Huang ordered the creation of the clay army,along with a 20­square­mile tomb in which to house it.For 36 years,700,000 laborers built this underground city.It contains models of palaces and towers,and was protected from intruders(闯入者) by.The city lay buried for more than 2,000 years.

  A Worldwide Attraction

  Today,people from around the world visit China to see the terracotta warriors.What makes the soldiers so special?Each figure was individually carved,so they have different hairstyles,expressions and facial features.The details make the soldiers appear true to life.Inside the pit,the statues are arranged by military rank.The higher the rank,the taller the statue.The shortest statue is 5 feet 8 inches.The tallest is 6 feet 6 inches.The lower half of each soldier is made of solid clay,while the upper half is hollow.This makes it easier for the figures to remain upright.

  Great Wall

  The discovery of Xi’an’s 110 new warriors comes after a new finding about the Great Wall of China.An archaeological survey revealed the Great Wall of China is more than twice as long as previously thought.The wall originally measured 5,500 miles but now measures 13,170 miles.Beijing officials plan to open two new sections of the Great Wall and to expand other areas to make room for more tourists.

  (The Causes of European Separation in 16th Century)    For a thousand years and more, the people of Europe had fought about many things, but they had been united in believing one thing: that there existed a single “Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church” of which the Bishop of Rome, under the title of the Pope, was the visible and recognizable head in succession to St. Peter. But in 1517 a German monk, Martin Luther, challenged certain Catholic teachings and renounced his obedience to the papacy. Others had followed him, including Henry VIII.    Thus Europe was divided in every which way, the southern and eastern two-thirds still Catholic, the northern and western one-third what was coming to be called Protestant, though English-ruled Ireland solidly Catholic and the Spanish-ruled Netherlands, particularly the northern part approximating to modern Holland, grew increasingly Protestant; while in virtually every country, whether officially Catholic or Protestant, those of the contrary faith fiercely attempted to convert their neighbors and equally fiercely resisted their neighbor’s attempts to convert them. For this there was no simple, friendly solution to be reached on the principle of live-and-let-live. Each party believed that it had hold of the truth, the only truth that mattered, the one that led to eternal salvation, and its adversaries clung to falsehood which must necessarily head to eternal damnation: not only for themselves but for all who should permit them to survive and infect others with their errors. Toleration, even reasonable discussion, was impossible. God and the devil could not mix. Just as Elizabeth was to ardent Catholics that Jezebel, so to earnest Protestants the Pope was “that wolfish bloodsucker,” and their Catholic fellow-creatures mad dogs, toads and other such vermin to be cleansed off the face of the earth. These feelings, dangerous enough in themselves, were made more so by questions of geography and money. The Catholic countries bordering on the Mediterranean were by far the richest. From the beginning of the Middle Ages the Republic of Venice had controlled the trade routes to the East, bringing the wares carried out of Persia, China and the Indies by camel to her depots in Syria and reloading them in her high, gorgeously painted vessels for transshipment to Italy and beyond. Since the end of the fifteen century, first Portugal by sailing round Africa to India, then Spain by the discovery of America, had likewise been in a position to bring for sale to Europe all the rare and wonderful things for which Europe longed—silks and precious woods, sugar and spices, gold and silver, works of exquisite art and strange animals from peacock to tigers. In 1494, two years after Columbus’s first voyage to America, Pope Alexander VI had divided the unexplored world beyond the seas between Spain and Portugal as reward for their enterprise and to keep them from fighting. The other countries had respected this division so long as they remained Catholic. 1.      The best title for this passage is [A]. The History of Europe in 16th Century. . The Religious History of Europe in 16th Century. [C]. The Causes of European Separation in 16th Century. 2.      What does we learn from the passage? [A]. The Pope had the supreme power in religion before reform. . The Pope had the greatest power in every thing outside religion. [C]. The Pope was the real king in Europe then. [D]. The Pope was the real ruler in Europe then. 3.      What did the sentence “The other countries had respected this division so long as they remained Catholic” imply? [A]. It implied this division could not be respected long. . It implied this division would not face a challenge. [C]. It implied this division would be respected forever. [D]. It implied the power of the Pope would never decline. 4.      Which of the following is not mentioned as a cause to deepen the dangerous feelings? [A]. Money.          . Geology.         [C]. Religion.         [D]. Geography.

[结构简析] every which way. 四面八方,散乱。这里指四分五裂。EX : Railroads cross the country in every which way. 铁路四通八达,纵横全国。 [参考译文] 就这样欧洲四分五裂:东南部2/3仍然是天主教,西北部1/3是后来被称为的基督教,虽然英国统治的爱尔兰是稳固的天主教,而西班牙统治的荷兰,特别是靠近现代荷兰的北部地区越来越变成基督教。事实上,在每个国家,不论官方声称是天主教还是基督教,相反信仰的人都拼命想把他的邻居变过来,也同样强烈的抵制他们的邻居企图把他们变过去。 2.      Each party believed that it had hold of the truth, the only truth that mattered, the one that led to eternal salvation, and its adversaries clung to falsehood which must necessarily head to eternal damnation: not only for themselves but for all who should permit them to survive and infect others with their errors. [结构简析] believed 有两个宾语从句,用and连接。第一个宾语从句that it had hold of the truth中,the  only… the one…都说明truth,是它的同位语。And 后的宾语从句省略了连词that,句中有定语从句which must 修饰falsehood,后面的who定从修饰all. [参考译文] 每一派都认为他掌握了真理,唯一的至关重要的这里,通向永恒获救解脱,而它的对手(敌人)死抓住错误不放,这必然导致永恒的诅咒;不仅诅咒他们自己,还诅咒那些让他们生存下去,让他们错误感染别人的人。 3.      Just as Elizabeth was to ardent Catholics that Jezebel, so to earnest Protestants the Pope was “that wolfish bloodsucker,” and their Catholic fellow-creatures mad dogs, toads and other such vermin to be cleansed off the face of the earth. [结构简析] 注意just as…so …句型,so 后是部分倒装。To cleanse off消减,清除出。Jezebel耶西别古代以色列国王亚哈的妻子,残忍淫荡。后指无耻放荡的女人,胭脂虎。这里指英国女王伊丽莎白。 [参考译文] 就像伊丽莎白女王对狂热的天主教徒来讲那是个耶西别;对基督教徒来说罗马教皇是那个残忍的吸血鬼。天主教徒是疯狗,蛤蟆,其他种种恶魔,应从地球表面上清除出去。 写作方法与文章大意    这是一篇论述“宗教改革后的欧洲形势”的文章。(16世纪欧洲的情况)。作者从三方面论及其分裂的原由,欧洲在宗教改革后的信仰分裂,造成新旧教势不两立的局面,地理位置和金钱两个因素加剧了分裂的局面。 答案祥解 1.      D. 16世纪欧洲分裂的因素。上面文章大意中作者是从三方面论及其分裂。见难句译注1和第三段第一句:“这些情感,本身就危险,再加上地理和金钱两个问题,情况就更加不妙了。” A. 欧洲史。  B. 欧洲宗教史。这两项涉及面更广。     C. 宗教改革对16世纪欧洲的影响。和标题有些接近。但第三段却是和宗教无关的两个因素。 2.      C. 在改革前,罗马教皇是欧洲真正的帝王。这在第一段中有明确的叙述“一千多年来,欧洲人们虽然在许多事情彼此斗争过,可是在信仰上团结一致,都信只有一个神圣的天主教和罗马教皇的教会。那里的罗马大主教,称为教皇,是继承圣•彼德之后有形的公认领袖。可是,1517年德国僧侣,马丁•路德向某些天主教教义提出挑衅,拒绝服从罗马教皇,其他追随他,其中包括亨利八世(英王)”。 A. 在改革前,罗马教皇在宗教上具有至高无上的权利。似乎很有道理。实际上,教皇虽是宗教领袖,管的事情远远超出宗教范畴。这在最后一段倒数第二句话可见一般。结合第三题谈。   B. 教皇在宗教之外的许多事情有着最高的权利。是明显不对的。    D. 教皇是那时欧洲的真正统治者。Then 一词可以指改革前后。 3.      A. 这种分割不可能长期得到尊重。最后一段的最后两句话“1494年,哥伦布首次远航美洲后的两年,教皇亚历山大六世就把这块大洋彼岸未曾勘探的世界分给西班牙和葡萄牙作为对他们业绩的褒奖(赏赐)和制止他们彼此开仗。其它国家只要他们依然信仰天主教,他们就会尊重这个瓜分。”as long as 是一个条件。一旦这个条件不存在,那就不会再尊重。另一方面也说明教皇不仅管宗教,见第2题A注释,因此并不正确。 B. 不会面临挑战。     C. 永远得到尊重。     D. 教皇权力永不衰退。 4.      B. 地质学。其他三项: A. 钱。     C. 宗教。       D. 地理位置。都提到。

  [科普知识型阅读理解(二)]-----(一)

  Studying volcanoes is a demanding profession. Hazel Rymer frequently has to struggle through rainforests, climb to the top of mountains, then climb 200 metres into the crater of active volcanoes. But the 38yearold volcanologist does her best to make it sound less alarming than it is. “Driving to work is more risky,” she insists. “And the deepest I go into the crater of a volcano is about 300 metres,” she adds, trying to make it all sound as ordinary as taking the dog for a walk.

  Hazel has been studying volcanoes for a long time, so it's not surprising that she is used to the danger. Her interest in volcanoes began at school. A teacher gave her a book about Pompeii. “I remember reading about the eruption of Vesuvius and the destruction of the city,” she explains. “The thought of all those people just frozen in time had quite an effect on me and I am still excited by their dangerous beauty today.”

  Nowadays, volcanoes are getting more and more unpredictable. There have been many changes in sea level caused by global warming and melting ice caps. These have resulted in some dormant volcanoes erupting, so studying them is more dangerous than ever before. Hazel says that although she doesn't take any unnecessary risk, she has had some frightening moments. Her worst experience was on the slopes of Mount Etna in Sicily, when she was slowly surrounded by lava. “I had a choice of walking ten hours to get around the lava flow or just walking across it,” she explains. She chose to pick a path across the cooler rocks in the lava stream. “I guess it was five metres. The flow was 1,000℃, so if you hesitated your boots would begin to melt. It was scary, but it really was a practical decision—there wasn't time to do anything else.”

  And what about the future? “I haven't been to the volcanoes in Indonesia yet. And I would love to spend some time working in the Antarctic,” she says. “I would also like to know why quiet lava flows erupt from some volcanoes and why other volcanoes go bang.” In other words, Hazel Rymer won't be exchanging her volcanoes for the relative safety of Driving to work just yet.

  1. Hazel's claim that “Driving to work is more risky” than exploring volcanoes shows that ________.

  A. people have exaggerated the dangers of volcanoes in the past

  B. Hazel does not really understand the dangerous situations she puts herself in

  C. there are many bad drivers in the place where Hazel lives

  D. Hazel is being modest and understating the dangers she faces

  2. When did Hazel first become interested in volcanoes?

  A. When she was visiting Italy.

  B. When she was at school.

  C. When she was twenty.

  D. When she saw Vesuvius.

  3. The underlined word “These” (Paragraph 3) refers to ________.

  A. melting icecaps

  B. volcanic eruptions

  C. changes in sea level

  D. higher temperatures

  4. When Hazel was on Mount Etna she had to ________.

  A. take a dangerous route

  B. take an unnecessary risk

  C. leave her boots behind

  D. walk for ten hours around the mountain

  5.In the future, Hazel wants to ________.

  A. revisit volcanoes she knows

  B. go on holiday to the Antarctic

  C. find a less dangerous job

  D. discover new things about volcanoes

  (一)

  【要点综述】 本文主要介绍了火山学家Hazel Rymer对火山的一些研究行动。

  1.D  推理判断题。由此句话的前一句“But the 38yearold volcanologist does her best to make it sound less alarming than it is.”以及此句话可知,Hazel Rymer说开车上班比对火山进行研究更危险可以得知,她是谦虚的,并且淡化其面临的危险。

  2.B  细节理解题。由第二段第二句“Her interest in volcanoes began at school.”可知她在读书时就对火山感兴趣。

  3.C  代词指代题。由画线词的前一句话“There have been many changes in sea level caused by global warming and melting ice caps.”可知,是海水高度的变化导致休眠火山的爆发,故C正确。

  4.A  细节理解题。由第三段最后几句“‘I had a choice of walking ten hours to get around the lava flow or just walking across it,’she explains. She chose to pick a path across the cooler rocks in the lava stream.‘I guess it was five metres. The flow was 1,000℃, so if you hesitated your boots would begin to melt. It was scary, but it really was a practical decision—there wasn't time to do anything else.’”可知,她选择了从熔岩流中走过,这是一条更危险的路。

  5.D  细节理解题。由最后一段的内容“…I would also like to know why quiet lava flows erupt from some volcanoes and why other volcanoes go bang…”可知,Hazel将继续对火山进行研究,并发现一些新的东西。
