托福阅读 27-1 Crafts in the Ancient Near East

TPO-27Crafts in the Ancient Near EastSome of the earliest human civilizations arose in southern Mesopotamia, in what is now southern Iraq, in the fourth millennium B.C.E. In the second half of the millennium, in the south around the city of Uruk, there was an enormous escalation in the area occupied by permanent settlements. A large part of that increase took place in Uruk itself, which became a real urban center surrounded by a set of secondary settlements. While population estimates are notoriously unreliable, scholars assume that Uruk inhabitants were able to support themselves from the agricultural production of the field surrounding the city, which could be reached with a daily commute. But Uruk’s dominant size in the entire region, far surpassing that of other settlements, indicates that it was a regional center and a true city. Indeed, it was the first city in human history.The vast majority of its population remained active in agriculture, even those people living within the city itself. But a small segment of the urban society started to specialize in nonagricultural tasks as a result of the city’s role as a regional center. Within the productive sector, there was a growth of a variety of specialist craftspeople. Early in the Uruk period, the use of undecorated utilitarian pottery was probably the result of specialized mass production. In an early fourth-millennium level of the Eanna archaeological site at Uruk, a pottery style appears that is most characteristic of this process, the so-called beveled-rim bowl. It is a rather shallow bowl that was crudely made in a mold; hence, in only a limited number of standard sizes. For some unknown reason, many were discarded, often still intact, and thousands have been found all over the Near East. The beveled-rim bowl is one of the most telling diagnostic finds for identifying an Uruk-period site. Of importance is the fact that it was produced rapidly in large amounts, most likely by specialists in a central location.A variety of documentation indicates that certain goods, once made by a family member as one of many duties, were later made by skilled artisans. Certain images depict groups of people, most likely women, involved in weaving textiles, an activity we know from later third-millennium texts to have been vital in the economy and to have been centrally administered. Also, a specialized metal-producing workshop may have been excavated in a small area at Uruk. It contained a number of channels lined by a sequence of holes, about 50 centimeters deep, all showing burn marks and filled with ashes. This has been interpreted as the remains of a workshop where molten metal was scooped up from the channel and poured into molds in the holes. Some type of mass production by specialists were involved here.Objects themselves suggest that they were the work of skilled professionals. In the late Uruk period(3500-3100 B.C.E.), there first appeared a type of object that remained characteristic for Mesopotamia throughout its entire history: the cylinder seal. This was a small cylinder, usually no more than 3 centimeters high and 2 centimeters in diameter, of shell, bone, faience (a glassy type of stoneware), or various types of stones, on which a scene was carved into the surface. When rolled over a soft material----primarily the clay of bullae (round seals), tablets, or clay lumps attached to boxes, jars, or door bolts----the scene would appear in relief, easily legible. The technological knowledge needed to carved it was far superior to that for stamp seals, which had happened in the early Neolithic period (approximately 10,000-5000 B.C.E.). From the first appearance of cylinder seals, the carved scenes could be highly elaborate and refined, indicating the work of specialist stone-cutters. Similarly, the late Uruk period shows the first monumental art, relief, and statuary in the round, made with a degree of mastery that only a professional could have produced.Paragraph 1: Some of the earliest human civilizations arose in southern Mesopotamia, in what is now southern Iraq, in the fourth millennium B.C.E.

托福备考托福阅读34套TPO样题+解析+译文26—3 Sumer and the First Cities of the Ancient Near East

托福考试复习TPO 26—3 Sumer and the First Cities of the Ancient Near East原文：【1】The earliest of the city states of the ancient Near East appeared at the southern end of the Mesopotamian plain, the area between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers in what is now Iraq. It was here that the civilization known as Sumer emerged in its earliest form in the fifth millennium. At first sight, the plain did not appear to be a likely home for a civilization. There were few natural resources, no timber, stone, or metals. Rainfall was limited, and what water there was rushed across the plain in the annual flood of melted snow. As the plain fell only 20 meters in 500 kilometers, the beds of the rivers shifted constantly. It was this that made the organization of irrigation, particularly the building of canals to channel and preserve the water, essential. Once this was done and the silt carried down by the rivers was planted, the rewards were rich: four to five times what rain-fed earth would produce. It was these conditions that allowed an elite to emerge, probably as an organizing class, and to sustain itself through the control of surplus crops.【2】It is difficult to isolate the factors that led to the next development—the emergence of urban settlements. The earliest, that of Eridu, about 4500 B.C.E., and Uruk, a thousand years later, center on impressive temple complexes built of mud brick. In some way, the elite had associated themselves with the power of the gods. Uruk, for instance, had two patron gods—Anu, the god of the sky and sovereign of all other gods, and Inanna, a goddess of love and war—and there were others, patrons of different cities. Human beings were at their mercy. The biblical story ofthe Flood may originate in Sumer. In the earliest version, the gods destroy the human race because its clamor had been so disturbing to them.【3】It used to be believed that before 3000 B.C.E. the political and economic life of the cities was centered on their temples, but it now seems probable that the cities had secular rulers from earliest times. Within the city lived administrators, craftspeople, and merchants. (Trading was important, as so many raw materials, the semiprecious stones for the decoration of the temples, timbers for roofs, and all metals, had to be imported.) An increasingly sophisticated system of administration led in about 3300 B.C.E. to the appearance of writing. The earliest script was based on logograms, with a symbol being used to express a whole word. The logograms were incised on damp clay tablets with a stylus with a wedge shape at its end. (The Romans called the shape cuneus and this gives the script its name of cuneiform.) Two thousand logograms have been recorded from these early centuries of writing.A more economical approach was to use a sign to express not a whole word but a single syllable. (To take an example: the Sumerian word for " head” was “sag.” Whenever a word including a syllable in which the sound “sag” was to be written, the sign for “sag" could be used t o express that syllable with the remaining syllables of the word expressed by other signs.) By 2300 B.C.E. the number of signs required had been reduced to 600, and the range of words that could be expressed had widened. Texts dealing with economic matters predominated, as they always had done; but at this point works of theology, literature, history, and law also appeared.【4】Other innovations of the late fourth millennium include the wheel, probably developed first as a more efficient way of making pottery and then transferred to transport. A tablet engraved about 3000 B.C.E. provides the earliest known example from Sumer, a roofed boxlike sledge mounted on four solid wheels. A major development was the discovery, again about 3000 B.C.E., that if copper, which had been known in Mesopotamia since about 3500 B.C.E., was mixed with tin, a much harder metal, bronze, would result. Although copper and stone tools continued to be used, bronze was far more successful in creating sharp edges that could be used as anything from saws and scythes to weapons. The period from 3000 to 1000 B.C.E., when the use of bronze became widespread, is normally referred to as the Bronze Age.题目：1.Which of the following is NOT mentioned in paragraph 1 as a disadvantage of the Mesopotamian plain?A.There was not very much rainfall for most of the year.B.Melting snow caused flooding every year.C.The silt deposited by rivers damaged crops.D.Timber, stone and metals were not readily available.2.According to paragraph 1, which of the following made it possible for anelite to emerge?A.New crops were developed that were better suited to conditions on theMesopotamian plain.B.The richest individuals managed to gain control of the most valuable cropland.C.Control over the few available natural resources made some people four to five times richer than everyone else.D.The building of canals to increase agricultural output required organization.3.The word “sustain”in the passage（paragraph 1）is closest in meaning toA.defend.B.promote.C.maintain.D.transform.4.According to paragraph 2, Eridu and Uruk are examples of urbansettlements thatcked the features usually found in other early urban settlements.B.developed around religious buildings.C.grew much more rapidly than most of the urban settlements found in Sumer.D.were mysteriously destroyed and abandoned.5.The word “sovereign"in the passage is closest in meaning toA.counselor.B.master.C.defender.D.creator.6.According to paragraph 3, which of the following led to the appearanceof writing?A.An increasingly sophisticated administrative system.B.Coordination between secular and religious leaders.C.The large volume of trade, particularly imports.D.A rapidly expanding and changing population.7.In paragraph 3, why does the author provide the information that the number of signs in use had dropped from 2,000 to 600 by 2300 B.C.E.?A.T o argue that the development of writing involved periods of growth followed by periods of decline.B.To demonstrate that earlier written texts used a larger vocabulary than later texts, which were aimed at a broader audience.C.To support the claim that the range of words expressed by logograms varied widely depending on time period and type of text.D.T o provide evidence for the increased efficiency of using signs to express syllables rather than whole words.8.According to paragraph 3, ancient texts most commonly dealt withA.theology.B.literature.C.economics.w.9.According to paragraph 4, the earliest wheels probablyA.were first developed in areas outside Mesopotamia.B.were used to make pottery.C.appeared on boxlike sledges.D.were used to transport goods between cities.10.The word “engraved”in the passage(paragraph 4)is closest in meaning toA.carved.B.produced.C.dated.D.discovered.11.Which of the sentences below best expresses the essential information inthe highlighted sentence in the passage paragraph 4 ? Incorrect choices change the meaning in important ways or leave out essential information.A.Also around 3000B.C.E., it was discovered that mixing copper, known from about 3500 B.C.E., with tin would create a much harder metal known as bronze.B.Although copper had been known since 3500 B.C.E in Mesopotamia, the discovery of bronze did not occur until around 3000 B.C.E.C.Another major development around 3000 B.C.E. was the discovery that copper could be mixed with a much harder metal known as tin.D.The development of bronze by mixing copper and tin probably occurred around 3000 B.C.E. but may have happened as early as 3500 B.C.E.12.The word “widespread”in the passage(paragraph 4)is closest in meaning toA.obvious.B.significant.C.necessary.mon.13. Look at the four squares [■]that indicate where the following sentence could be added to the passage.Where would the sentence best fit? City life was diverse, and the population was engaged in a variety of occupations.It used to be believed that before 3000 B.C.E. the political and economic life of the cities was centered on their temples, but it now seems probable that the cities had secular rulers from earliest times. ■【A】Within the city lived administrators, craftspeople, and merchants.

(2024·衡水中学第四次综合素养测评) Weald & Downland Living Museum
Fun fact Over 50 historic buildings from across the Weald and Downland area have been dismantled (拆除) and then reconstructed across a lovely 40－acre site in the South Downs national park.The collection of buildings represents almost a thousand years of rural life in south－east England：furnished just as they would have been in the past—complete with the homes，farms and public buildings.There’s a sense of exploring a real village as you wander between them along green paths，stopping to climb the stairs of a 17th－century craftsman’s (工匠) cottage to lie on the straw bed or sheltering from a shower in a smoky， 14th－century hall.

geoeast 近地表处理流程

The geoeast near-surface processing workflow is like a detective mission for the Earth's top secret treasures! Our first step is to gather geophysical data using cool methods like seismic reflection, electrical resistivity, ground-penetrating radar, and magnetometry. These tools let us peek below the Earth's surface without disturbing a single rock. Once we've collected all our data, it's time to play detective and process it to uncover hidden subsurface signals and get rid of any pesky noise that might throw us off the trail. With all that hard work, we can finally unlock the mysteries of the Earth's top few hundred meters and discover the amazing features hiding just beneath our feet!地球近表面处理工作流程就像是地球绝密宝物的侦探任务！我们的第一步是利用地震反射、电阻、地面穿透雷达和磁力测量等冷却方法收集地球物理数据。

tpo26-Sumer and the First Cities of the Ancient Near East解析

答案：1. ○32. ○43. ○34. ○25. ○ 26. ○17. ○48. ○39. ○210. ○ 111. ○112. ○413. ○114. ○ Writing appeared in the form of logograms and later developed into a system using signs to represent syllables rather than whole words.○The earliest city states had one or more patron gods and were built around central temple complexes.○ The development of the wheel and the creation of bronze were important innovations in Sumer苏美尔与古代近东的第一个城邦古代西亚地区最早的城邦出现在美索不达米亚平原的最南边，这个位于底格里斯河和幼发拉底河之间如今被称为伊拉克的地区。

5 000年前，正是在这里出现了苏美尔文明的早期形态。

乍看之下，这个平原并不像是一个（古老）文明的发源地。

这里自然资源稀缺，木材、石料以及金属都极其匮乏。

降雨量有限，当地水资源的主要来源是每年冰雪融化导致的冲过平原的洪水。

因为该平原在方圆500公里内的海拔落差只有20米，所以河床（的位置）不断地发生变化。

这就使得灌溉系统的规划至关重要，特别是（如何）建造水渠以疏导和保存水资源。

这些灌溉工程完成以及河流冲积下的淤泥就会沉积在此处，带来的回报相当可观：其产出量会比靠雨水滋润的土地高出4~5倍。

正是这些环境条件使得在该地诞生了一个可能充当管理阶层的“精英”，这一阶层通过对余粮的控制来养活自己。

很难把导致苏美尔文明进一步发展，即城市聚居点的出现的诸多因素孤立起来看待。

(含答案)高中英语阅读理解之《世界遗址》

（含答案）高中英语阅读理解之《世界遗址》阅读短文并回答问题Friday and Saturday were full of surprises for Chinese,as two places in China were listed as UNESCO World Heritage sites.The first,a World Natural Heritage,is composed of a series of migratory bird sanctuaries （候鸟保护地）along the coast of the Yellow Sea in Yancheng,East China's Jiangsu Province.The second,the Liangzhu Archaeological Site in Hangzhou,East China's Zhejiang Province,was listed as a World Cultural Heritage site.China began the application process for the bird sanctuaries in2017.It only took two years to successfully complete the process.The reason the migratory bird sanctuary application was successful is because of the special geographical category of the area.It is the largest intertidal mudflat seashore in the world.The success of this application marks the beginning of China's world natural heritage from land to sea.The migratory bird sanctuaries are the central node of the East Asian-Australasian Flyway and many endangered species,especially threatened migratory birds including red-crowned cranes and flamingos, go there to hunt for food during the migration season.The birds usually take a month to finish their migration.At about10days into their migration,they must stop and find food in order to have the energy to continue their journey.Compared to the short turnaround for the World Natural Heritage's application,the Liangzhu application was far more complicated.The application team spent six years making their dream a reality.A lot of archaeological work had to be carried out for the Liangzhu site,which means the application and assessment（评定）process takes a longer time. The site in Liangzhu is evidence of the existence of an early regional state in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River during the late Neolithic period in China,which helps fill in the gaps in the history of the rice-cultivating civilizations of China and East Asia more than5000years ago.The site was one of the20th century's most important archaeological discoveries in China.With these two new additions,China now has55World Heritage sites, the highest number in the world.The successful application means greater responsibility and obligations（义务）.Protecting these places is much more important and is our future work.The new status of the migratory bird sanctuaries might boost local tourism industries but this too poses a challenge as local governments will need to control tourist volume so as not to impact the birds'migration patterns.Meanwhile,the sheer area that the Liangzhu Archaeological Site covers,some14.3 square kilometers,makes protection a difficult issue to handle.Those workings at the site are busy constructing protective shelters for the site and even reburying certain areas to protect them from exposure.Plans are also underway to build a local museum for the storage and display ofartifacts,so visitors can come and learn more about the history of the nation.1.What is special about the migratory bird sanctuaries?A.It's the first China's world natural heritage on the sea.B.It provides safe habitats for endangered species.C.It's located along the coast of the Yellow River.D.It supplies abundant fresh water to migratory birds.2.According to Paragraph2,how do migratory bird sanctuaries protect birds?A.By creating warm places to produce baby birds.B.By preventing them from being killed by hunters.C.By providing food supplies during their migration.D.By curing the endangered birds after their journey.3.Why is Liangzhu chosen for the world heritage site?A.It shows the long history of China.B.It proves the wisdom of the people.C.It witnesses the civilization of an age.D.It reveals the food of the late Neolithic.4.What is the last paragraph mainly talking about?A.The application success's promotion of tourism.B.Chinese responsibilities after the successful application.C.The two places'influence on Chinese history.D.Chinese challenge of protecting birds'migration.参考答案1–4ACCB单词学习1.UNESCO(United Nations Educational,Scientific and Cultural Organization)联合国教科文组织2.archaeological adj.考古学的3.intertidal adj.潮间带的4.node n.节点5.red-crowned crane n.丹顶鹤6.flamingo n.火烈鸟7.Neolithic period新石器时代8.rice-cultivating civilization稻作文明长难句分析1.The migratory bird sanctuaries are the central node of the East Asian-Australasian Flyway and many endangered species,especially threatened migratory birds including red-crowned cranes and flamingos,go there to hunt for food during the migration season.主干：The sanctuaries are node and species go there.译文：候鸟保护区是东亚—澳大拉西亚航路的中心节点，许多濒危物种，特别是丹顶鹤和火烈鸟这些受到威胁的候鸟，在迁徙季节到这里觅食。
