Ⅲ.阅读理解(共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分)
A
When a Swedish ship that sank in 1628 was recovered from the port of Stockholm，historians and scientists were overjoyed with the chance to examine the remains of the past.The ship construction showed how ships were built and operated during the seventeenth century.In this way，artifacts(史前古器物)，objects made by human beings，provided a picture of daily life almost 400 years ago.
Underwater archaeology－the study of ships，aircraft(航行器) and human settlements that have sunk under large bodies of water－is really a product of the last 50 years.The rapid growth of this new area of study has occurred because of the invention of better diving equipment.Besides the Swedish ship wreck(残骸)，underwater archaeologists have made more exciting discoveries such as the 5,000­year­old boats in the Mediterranean Sea.
Underwater archaeology can provide facts about the past.In ancient ports all over the world are ships sunk in the past 6,000 years.There are also sunken settlements in seas and lakes telling of people's way of life and their systems of trade in ancient times.Underwater archaeologists want to study these objects to add to the world's knowledge of history，but they have to fight two enemies. One enemy is treasure hunters who dive for ancient artifacts that they can sell to collectors.Once sold，these objects are lost to experts.The second enemy is dredging machines(挖掘机)often used to repair ports.These machines destroy wrecks and artifacts or bury them deeper under sand and mud.By teaching the public about the importance of underwater “museums” of the past，archaeologists are hoping to get support for laws to protect underwater treasures.
31．What purpose does Paragraph 1 serve in the passage?
A．To provide background information of the topic.
B．To attract readers' attention to the topic.
C．To use an example to support the topic.
D．To offer basic knowledge of the topic.

A．To introduce a young branch of learning.
B．To discuss the scientists' problems.
C．To explain people's way of life in the past.
D．To describe the sunken ships.
34．Who are the two enemies that underwater archaeologists have to fight?

Remote medicine is an aspect of medical technology that has been steadily developing in recent times.Remote medicine can be defined as experts helping to treat patients in remote areas by using high­end telecommunication systems.Sometimes physicians have to perform surgery on patients using robotic arms through these high­end telecommunication systems.Doctors in remote areas can purchase emergency medical supplies and first aid kits required for remote medicine treatment from popular online stores.
Surgery has been performed successfully in many cases through remote medicine. Sometimes it is neither practical nor financially possible for the sick or injured to travel to developed nations for their medical treatment.Thanks to remote medicine，people in remote areas can get treatment from experts without having to travel.Although it is useful for patients across the globe，it could be difficult in certain cases to do due to problems with access，supplies and knowledge of local professionals.Doctors believe the biggest barrier is the difficulty in building a close relationship between doctors and patients because of the computer­mediated virtual communication.
However，with lack of specialists in intensive care units in many rural areas across the globe，remote medicine provides a helping hand in monitoring and treating
critical patients.Remote medical technology is only as good as the supplies on hand.Putting this technology into practice requires people in remote areas to have relevant emergency medical kits and emergency medical supplies to treat patients.
Chinook Medical Gear is a very popular online store that offers a wide range of emergency medical supplies，medical kits，first aid kits，and containers that are specifically designed to be used in remote areas during emergency situations.This online store also ships emergency medical supplies that assist field doctors to those remote areas.People involved in remote medical treatment can now be assured that they will receive well­stocked first aid kits as soon as possible from this online store.
35．According to the passage，remote medicine refers to ________.
A．medicine sent to patients living in remote areas
B．treatment given to patients by doctors
C．emergency medical supplies and first aid kits bought from online stores D．treatment given to patients in remote areas through a high­end telecommunication system
36．According to the doctors，the biggest difficulty of remote medicine is a lack of ________.
A．enough emergency medical kits
B．specialists in intensive care units
C．a close link between doctors and patients
D．knowledge of local professionals
37．It is implied in Paragraph 3 that remote medicine ________.
A．needs the help of relevant equipment
B．has been widely used across the globe
C．is more important than specialists
D．doesn't help much in rural areas
38．What's the last paragraph mainly about?
A．The correct ways of using emergency medical supplies.
B．The importance of relevant equipment in remote medicine.
C．An introduction to how field doctors use medical supplies.
D．A store that offers things used in remote medicine.

Imagine living for a week in a little French cottage，buying fresh vegetables
from the farmer's market every morning，sipping(小口抿)coffee，and taking day trips to neighboring villages.Sound appealing？That's the magic of slow travel，where the emphasis (重点)is less on sightseeing and more on taking in your surroundings at a relaxed pace.
Slow travel is a branch of the slow food movement，which began in Italy in the 1980's as a protest(抗议)against the opening of a McDonald's in Rome.The slow food movement aims to preserve regional cooking，local farming，and traditional food preparation methods.This cultural idea has since developed into a whole way of life known as the Slow Movement，which emphasizes connection to food and families and，in the case of travel，connection to local people and cultures.
Slow travel is not so much a particular mode of transportation as it is an attitude. Rather than attempting to put as many sights or cities as possible into each trip，the slow traveler takes time to explore each destination thoroughly and to experience the local culture. As Pauline Kenny says，“Slow travelers assume that they do not have to see everything on one trip，that there will be other trips.”
The clearest advantage of slow travel is reflected in the general nature of your trip.Traveling more slowly allows you to form a stronger connection to the place you're visiting，and you'll feel much less rushed.
Another less clear advantage of slow travel is that it's generally much easier on the environment than other types of travel.While airplanes have recently been considered as major contributors to global warming, trains are a much more
eco­friendly choice－as are bikes and，of course，your own two feet!
Slow travel is often kinder to your budget as well.Staying in one place for a week or more at a time reduces your transportation costs，and vacation rentals(度假出租屋) are often cheaper than hotels since they allow you to cook your own food instead of eating out for every meal.
39．What do we know about slow travel?
A．It mainly uses slow means of transportation.
B．It encourages you to take time to enjoy your stay.
C．It encourages a new and calm lifestyle.
D．It is mainly connected with local food.
40．Which of the following is NOT the original aim of the slow food movement?
A．To preserve regional cooking.
B．To preserve local farming.
C．To preserve traditional food preparation methods.
D．To emphasize the connection between food and family.
41．From what Pauline said in Paragraph 3，we can infer that slow travelers ________.
A．prefer to make friends with local people
B．think it less important to know an area well
C．have something left to see on the next trip
D．try to put as many sights as possible into one trip
42．The purpose of this passage is ________.
A．to introduce a way of travel
B．to introduce a new way of life
C．to compare different kinds of travel
D．to show how traveling affects our life
D
There are many scientists that study people who often lived hundreds or even thousands of years ago.We call them anthropologists.Items those primitive men，women，and children left behind when they died—everything from clothing to jewelry and tools—tell anthropologists a lot.And sometimes even their words survive.
Experts believe that a discovery in Mexico is the oldest example of writing ever found in America.The people who created it probably lived 3,000 years ago，long before Christopher Columbus arrived in the New World.
Workers digging in a rock mine happened to notice a stone block with marks carved onto its surface.They found the large piece of stone near the city of Cascajal，Mexico，which was once the capital of an ancient people called the Olmec.
“There are signs on the block that seem to show objects used by the Olmec during their religious ceremonies，”says Dr Stephen Houston，of Brown University in the US.“There is a sign that looks very similar to a knife and another that looks like the chair of a King，”he explains.
Houston，an expert on the writing systems of ancient cultures，says the discovery is exciting because “it makes clear that the Olmec could read and write.It is like hearing voices from the past.”
But experts don't know exactly what the writing says.Finding other examples of Olmec writing could help decipher_the_puzzle.
“We could have whole sets of ancient writing which will basically make ancient
people speak to us directly，”says Houston.“There are many puzzles to be solved，and this i s just one of them.”
43．According to the passage，in order to learn more about the past，what items do scientists often use?
A．Knives and chairs.
B．Books and stones.
C．People and animals.
D．Clothing and jewelry.
44．Why are scientists interested in ancient languages?
A．Because they can learn stories told during that time.
B．Because they can speak directly with ancient people.
C．Because it can allow them to understand ancient societies better.
D．Because it will help learn about the origins of modern languages.
45．Which of the following can replace the underlined expression in Paragraph 6?
A．Find the meaning of the Olmec language.
B．Discover when the Olmec people lived.
C．Learn why the Olmec civilization disappeared.
D．Learn how to speak Olmec.
46．Which is probably the BEST title for the passage?
A．New Language Discovered
B．World's First Book
C．Oldest Writing In The New World
D．What Does It Say?

(2013·重庆高考)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, however, that they existed over 5,500 years ago in 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 did a perfectly good job of carrying farming tools and humans around.
But it could also be because of a difficult situation. While wheels need to roll on smooth surfaces, 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 mid­1700s, a Frenchman came up with a new design of road—a base layer(层) 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.
47．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.
48．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 was promoted by fast­moving vehicles.
D．It provided conditions for wheel design to develop.
49．How is the last paragraph mainly developed?
A．By giving examples.
B．By making comparisons.
C．By following time order.
D．By making classifications.
50．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 fast­moving vehicles.

【参考范文】
The archaeologists in our city found a large site of ancient ruins last week.However，whether to excavate it has aroused arguments among the local citizens.
Those who are in favour of excavating it hold the opinion that it will contribute a lot to the study of the local history.Furthermore，the government may make good use of the site to make up for the lack of tourist resources in our city.
But others believe that our excavating technique is not advanced enough，considering that the ancient ruins are easily destroyed if carelessly dealt with.They also claim that the excavation and the protection of historical relics will undoubtedly cost a large sum of money.
In my opinion，it is the most important to perfectly preserve the historical relics while we have no experience and skills to excavate such a big site of ancient ruins.。
