struck at his home，not once，but twice.The first time he had lost his fiveyearold daughter.He and his wife thought they couldn’t bear that first loss；but，as he said，“Ten months later，God gave us another little girl and she died in five days.”This double bereavement was almost too much to bear.“I couldn’t take it，” this father told us“I couldn’t sleep，eat，rest or relax.My nerves were entirely shaken and my confidence gone.”At last he went to doctors；one recommended sleeping pills and another recommended a trip，but neither helped.He said，“My body felt as if it was surrounded in a vice (大钳子)，and the jaws of the vice were being drawn tighter and tighter.” The tension of grief (悲伤)—if you have ever been paralyzed (使瘫痪) by sorrow，you know what he meant.“But thank God，I had one child left—a fouryearold son.He gave me the solution to my problem.One afternoon as I sat around feeling sorry for myself，he asked，‘Daddy，will you build a boat for me？’ I was in no moodto build a boat；in fact，I was in no mood to do anything.But my son is a persistent little fellow！I had to give in.Building that toy boat took me about three hours.By the time it was finished，I realized that those three hours spent building that boat were first hours of mental relaxation and peace that I had had in months！I realized that it is difficult to worry while you are busy doing something that requires planning and thinking.In my case，building the boat had knocked worry out of the ring.So I determined to keep busy.”“The following night，I made a list of jobs that ought to be done.Scores of items needed to be repaired.Amazingly，I had made a list of 242 items that needed attention.During the last two years I have completed most of them.I am busy so that I have no time for worry.”No time for worry！That is exactly what Winston Churchill said when he was working eighteen hour’s a day at the height of the war.When he was asked if he worried about his huge responsibilities，he said，“I am too busy.I have no time for worry.”1．The underlined word “bereavement” in the secon d paragraph refers to________.A．having lost a loved oneB．having lost a valuable articleC．having lost a profitmaking businessD．having lost a wellpaid job2．Marion felt his body as if it was caught in a vice because________.A．he couldn’t earn enough m oney to support his familyB．he was suffering from sleeplessness diseaseC．he couldn’t get out of mental pressureD．he felt tired of adulteducation classes3．Marion made a list of over 200 items that needed to be repairedbecause________.A．he hadn’t been able to spare time to mend themB．he wanted to kill his free time by repairing themC．the items had actually been broken and needed attentionD．repairing the items helped crowd worry out of his mind4．At the end of the passage，the author wrote about Winston Churchill in order to________.A．prove that he followed Churchill’s exampleB．support his student’s solution to his problemC．show that he was successful in his careerD．clarify how his conclusion was reachedPeople always think about “the problem of youth”．If there is one—which I take leave to doubt—it is older people who create it，not the young themselves.Let us get down to fundamentals and agree that the young are after all human beings—people just like their elders.There is only one difference between an old man and a young one：the young man has a beautiful future before him while the old man a splendid future behind him and maybe that is where the rub is.When I was a teenager，I felt that I was just young and unknown—that I was a new boy in a huge school，and I would have been very pleased to be regarded as something so interesting as a problem.For one thing，being a problem gives you a certain identify，and that is one of the things the young are busily engaged in seeking.I find young people exciting.They have an air of freedom，and they have not a dull promise to mean ambitions or love of comfort.They are not anxioussocial climbers，and they have no devotion to important things.All this seems to me to link them with life，and the origins of things.It’s as if they were in some sense of cosmic beings in violent and lovely contrast with us suburban (乡村的) creatures.All that is in my mind when I meet a young person.He may be too proud，illmannered，selfconfident or selfsatisfied，but I do not turn for protection to boring clichés about respect for elders as if age were a reason for respect.I accept that we are equals，and I will argue with them，as an equal，if I think he is wrong.5．“The problem of youth” in Paragraph 1 means the problem________.A．caused by young peopleB．needed to be solved by young peopleC．young people meetD．created by the old for the young6．The underlined word “rub” is closest in meaning to________.A．fact B．ageC．future D．difficulty7．One of the things the young are engaged in is that they want to________.A．climb up the social ladderB．have freedomC．be knownD．make troubles8．By saying “anxious social climbers”，the writer refers to________.A．some mean adults B．ambitious young peopleC．capable political leaders D．people who pursue comfortⅢ.短文填词Tom had never been to the north of the country before.But he knew w________to expect，because he had 1.________two friends who had t________him a lot about it.2.________It was certainly colder than in the south but the airwas c________and

On my 13th birthday, my Mum gave me a signet ring with my initials(姓名首字母) carved into it. I was in heaven.

Eventually, I gave up and stopped looking for it. And two years later, we sold the house and moved away.Years passed, and a couple of moves later, I was visiting my parents' when Mum told me that she had something for me. It wasn't my birthday, nor was it Easter or Christmas or any other gift-giving occasion. Mum noticed my questioning look.

The family who had bought our house 13 years earlier had recently decided to do some redecorations, which included replacing the carpets.

But, according to a new study, we should be placing a higher value on motherhood all year. Mothers have long known that their home workload was just as heavy as paid work. Now, the new study has shown that if they were paid for their parental labours, they would earn as much as￡172,000 a year.The study looked at the range of jobs mothers do, as well as the hours they are working, to determine the figure. This would make their yearly income ￡30，000 more than the Prime Minister earns.By analyzing the numbers, it found the average mother works 119 hours a week, 40 of which would usually be paid at a standard rate 79 hours as overtime. After questioning 1,000 mothers with children under 18, it found that ,on most days, mums started their routine work at 7am and finished at around 11pm.To calculate just how much mothers would earn from that labour, it suggestedsome of the roles that mums could take on, including housekeeper, part-time lawyer, personal trainer and entertainer. Being a part-time lawyer, at ￡48.98 an hour, would prove to be the most profitable of the “mum j o bs”, with psychologist（心理学家）a close second.It also asked mothers about the challenges they face, with 80 percent making emotional（情感的）demand as the hardest thing about motherhood.Over a third of mums felt they needed more training and around half said they missed going out with friends.The study shows mothers matter all year long and not just on Mother’s Day. The emotional, physical and mental energy mothers devote to their children can be never-ending, but children are also sources of great joy and happiness. Investing （投入）in time for parenting and raising relationships is money well spent.38. How much would a mother earn a year if working as the Prime Minister?A.￡30,000.B.￡142,000.C.￡172,000.D.￡202,000.39. The biggest challenge for most mothers is from .A. emotional demandB. low pay for workC. heavy workloadD. lack of training40. What is stressed in the last paragraph?A. Mothers’ importance shows in family all year long.B. The sacrifices mothers make are huge but worthwhile.C. Mothers’ devotion to children can hardly be calculated.D. Investing time in parenting would bring a financial return.41. What can we conclude from the study?A. Mothers’ working hours should be largely reduced.B. Mothers should balance their time for work and rest.C. Mothers’ labour is of a higher value than it is realized.D. Mothers should be freed from housework for social life.。

I got a taste of that dream in 2011,when my husband arranged for me ride in a hot air balloon for my birthday. But the experience turned out to be very dull. Around that time ,I told my husband that I wanted to skydive. So when our retirement community（社区）announced that they were having an essay competition and the topic was an experience of a lifetime that you wanted to have, I decided to write about my dream.In the essay, I wrote about my desire to skydive, stating George Brush Sr. did it at age 80. Why not me? I was just 84 and in pretty good health. A year went by and I heard nothing. But then at a community party in late April 2009, they announced that I was one of the winners. I just couldn’t believe it.One June 11, 2009, nearly 40 of my family and friends gathered in the area close to where I would land while I headed up in the airplane. My instructor, Jay, guided me through the experience. The plane was the noisiest one I had ever been in, but I wasn’t frightened—I was really just looking forward to the experience. When we reached 13,000 feet, Jay instructed me to throw myself out of the plane. When we first hit the air, the wind was so strong that I could hardly breathe. For a second I thought, “What have I gotten myself into?” But then everything got calmer. We were in a free fall for about a minute before Jay opened the parachute（降落伞）, then we just floated downward for about five minutes. Being up in the clouds and looking at the view below was unlike anything I have ever felt—much better than the hot air balloon. I was just enjoying it.Skydiving was really one of the greatest experiences of my life. I hope other people will look at me and realize that you don’t stop living just because you are84 years old. If there’s something you want to experience, look into it. If it’s something that is possible, make it happen.1. What happened to the author in 2001?A. She flew an airplaneB. She entered a competitionC. She went on a hot air balloon rideD. She moved into a retirement community2. The author mentioned George Bush Sr. in her essay to .A. build up her own reputationB. show her admiration for himC. compare their health conditionD. make her argument persuasive3. How did the author feel immediately after she jumped out of the plane?A. ExcitedB. ScaredC. NervousD. Regretful4. What did the author enjoy most when she was skydiving?A. The beautiful cloudsB.

DogTV, cable TV's first channel for dogs, is mostly about keeping lonely dogs calm.There are about 78 million canines(犬) in the United States. DogTV is aimed at the many of these that are left alone for long periods. Dogs are social animals and often grow anxious when left on their own. They may bark, chew shoes, and generally get into trouble. DogTV, which was launched last February, is designed to help ease their boredom and anxiety.Creators of the cable service approached their task scientifically. The sounds, colors, and camera angles have all been adjusted for canine senses. For instance, colors are made more vividso that canine eyes can see objects clearly. DogTV does not, as you might think, show Scooby－Doo and Clifford the Big Red Dog. Rather, there are three types of DogTV “shows”. The first aims to relax dogs. These segments show dogs resting to the sound of calming music. The second kind shows pleasant (for a dog) day－to－day settings, like riding in a car or walking down a street. The third type is meant to stimulate—like a scene of two dogs playing in a field. “Dogs love watching other dogs being active on the screen，” says Beke Lubeach, a DogTV spokesperson. She says that birds, monkeys, and zebras also make dogs take notice.Not everyone is buying it. “I think a lot of this is to make us feel better as opposed to making the pet happier，” says Dr. Ann E. Hohenhaus of New York's Animal Medical Center. She tells The New York Times, “Your pet needs adequate exercise and an interesting environment. You cannotj ust turn on the TV and hope your dog is going to get better.”On the other hand, the Humane Society animal shelter in Escondido, California, tried out DogTV at its shelter. Sally Costello, the director, says workers observed that dogs exposed to the channel were calmer and barked less.DogTV has been seen only in Southern California so far. But it is scheduled to go national soon. Owners of the commercial－free channel hope to charge about $5 a month for their service.1．What is the purpose of DogTV?A．To study dogs.B．To keep dogs calm.C．To make dog owners happy.D．To teach dogs skills.2．The following programs are often broadcast on DogTV EXCEPT________．A．dogs resting to the sound of calming musicB．programs like Clifford the Big Red DogC．a scene of two dogs playing in a fieldD．dogs riding in a car or walking down a street3．What does Dr. Ann E. Hohenhaus agree according to the fourth paragraph?A．Everyone who owns dogs will buy the service.B．DogTV can make your dogs happier and happier.C．Dogs need more than a good animal channel.D．DogTV makes people happier than pet dogs.4．Which of the following is RIGHT according to the passage? A．DogTV will only be seen in Southern California. B．There will be many ads on the animal channel.C．Dog owners will enjoy the programs very much. D．Dogs exposed to the channel will become calmer.参考答案Ⅰ.语法填空【语篇解读】“60分钟”节目的大腕主持人迈克·华莱士去世，标志着这个强硬的老派记者的时代的终结。

After he was put on disability for a bad back, he bought a small farm in the country, just enough to grow food for the family. He planted vegetables, fruit trees and even kept bees for honey.And every week he cleaned Old Man McColgin's chicken house in exchange for manure(肥料). The Smell really burned the inside of your nose. When we complained about the terrible smell, Dad said the stronger the manure, the healthier the crops, and he was right. For example, just one of his cantaloupes filled the entire house with its sweet smell, and the taste was even sweeter.As the vegetables started coming in, Dad threw himself into cooking. One day, armed with a basket of vegetables, he announced he was going to make stew(炖菜). Dad pulled out a pressure cooker and filled it up with cabbages, eggplants, potatoes, corns, onions and carrots. For about half an hour, the pressure built and the vegetables cooked. Finally, Dad turned off the stove, the pot began to cool and the pressure relief valve sprayed out a cloud of steam. If we thought Dad's pile of chicken manure was bad, this was 10 times worse. When Dad took off the lid, the smell nearly knocked us out.Dad carried the pot out and we opened doors and windows to air out the house. Just how bad was it? The neighbors came out of their houses to see if we had a gas leak!Determined, Dad filled our plates with steaming stew and passed themaround, it didn’t look that bad, and after the first wave had shut down my ability to smell, it didn’t offend the nose so much, edible, and we drank up every last drop of soup.34. Why did Dad clean Old Man Mocolgin’s chicken house regularly?A. To earn some money for the family.B. To collect manure for his crops.C. To get rid of the terrible smell.D. To set a good example to us.35. What can we infer about Dad’s stew?A. It is popular among the neighbors.B. It contains honey and vegetables.C. It looks very wonderful.D. It tastes quite delicious.36. What does the u nderlined word “offend” in the last paragraph mean?A. to attractB. to upsetC. to airD. to shut37. What can we learn about Dad form the text?A. He is an experienced cook.B. He is a troublesome father.C. He has a positive attitude to life.D. He suffers a lot from his disability.。

at his home，not once，but twice.The first time he had lost his fiveyearold daughter.He and his wife thought they couldn’t bear that first loss；but，as he said，“Ten months later，God gave us another little girl and she died in five days.〞This double bereavement was almost too much to bear.“I couldn’t take it，〞this father told us“I couldn’t sleep，eat，rest or relax.My nerves were entirely shaken and my confidence gone.〞At last he went to doctors；one recommended sleeping pills and another recommended a trip，but neither helped.He said，“My body felt as if it was surrounded in a vice (大钳子)，and the jaws of the vice were being drawn tighter and tighter.〞 The tension of grief (悲伤)—if you have ever been paralyzed (使瘫痪) by sorrow，you know what he meant.“But thank God，I had one child left—a fouryearold son.He gave me the solutionto my problem.One afternoon as I sat around feeling sorry for myself，he asked，‘Daddy，will you build a boat for me？’ I was in no mood to build a boat；in fact，I was in no mood to do anything.But my son is a persistent little fellow！I had to give in.Building that toy boat took me about three hours.By the time it was finished，I realized that those three hours spent building that boat were first hours of mental relaxation and peace that I had had in months！I realized that it is difficult to worry while you are busy doing something that requires planning and thinking.In my case，building the boat had knocked worry out of the ring.So I determined to keep busy.〞“The followi ng night，I made a list of jobs that ought to be done.Scores of items needed to be repaired.Amazingly，I had made a list of 242 items that needed attention.During the last two years I have completed most of them.I am busy so that I have no time for worry.〞No time for worry！That is exactly what Winston Churchill said when he was working eighteen hour’s a day at the height of the war.When he was asked if he worried about his huge responsibilities，he said，“I am too busy.I have no time for worry.〞1．The underlin ed word “bereavement〞 in the second paragraph refers to________.A．having lost a loved oneB．having lost a valuable articleC．having lost a profitmaking businessD．having lost a wellpaid job2．Marion felt his body as if it was caught in a vice because________.A．he couldn’t earn enough money to support his familyB．he was suffering from sleeplessness diseaseC．he couldn’t get out of mental pressureD．he felt tired of adulteducation classes3．Marion made a list of over 200 items that needed to be repaired because________.A．he hadn’t been able to spare time to mend themB．he wanted to kill his free time by repairing themC．the items had actually been broken and needed attentionD．repairing the items helped crowd worry out of his mind4．At the end of the passage，the author wrote about Winston Churchill in order to________.A．prove that he followed Churchill’s exampleB．support his student’s solution to his problemC．show that he was successful in his careerD．clarify how his conclusion was reachedPeople a lways think about “the problem of youth〞．If there is one—which I take leave to doubt—it is older people who create it，not the young themselves.Let us get down to fundamentals and agree that the young are after all human beings—people just like their elders.There is only one difference between an old man and a young one：the young man has a beautiful future before him while the old man a splendid future behind him and maybe that is where the rub is.When I was a teenager，I felt that I was just young and unknown—that I was a new boy in a huge school，and I would have been very pleased to be regarded as something so interesting as a problem.For one thing，being a problem gives you a certain identify，and that is one of the things the young are busily engaged in seeking.I find young people exciting.They have an air of freedom，and they have not a dull promise to mean ambitions or love of comfort.They are not anxious social climbers，and they have no devotion to important things.All this seems to me to link them withlife，and the origins of things.It’s as if they were in some sense of cosmic beings in violent and lovely contrast with us suburban (乡村的) creatures.All that is in my mind when I meet a young person.He may be too proud，illmannered，selfconfident or selfsati sfied，but I do not turn for protection to boring clichés about respect for elders as if age were a reason for respect.I accept that we are equals，and I will argue with them，as an equal，if I think he is wrong.5．“The problem of youth〞 in Paragraph 1 means the problem________.A．caused by young peopleB．needed to be solved by young peopleC．young people meetD．created by the old for the young6．The underlined word “rub〞 is closest in meaning to________.A．fact B．ageC．future D．difficulty7．One of the things the young are engaged in is that they want to________.A．climb up the social ladderB．have freedomC．be knownD．make troubles8．By saying “anxious social climbers〞，the writer refers to________.A．some mean adults B．ambitious young peopleC．capable political leaders D．people who pursue comfortⅢ.短文填词Tom had never been to the north of the country before.But

The truth is that you’re so much more courageous than you give yourself credit for and far stronger than you realize. Here are some ways that you can use to help yourself make the process of creating change more manageable.Make change into small bite size pieces. 2 Remember that as long as you attempt totake regular practice towards your goal, such as eating more h ealthily every day, or walkingtwenty minutes a day, you’re heading in the right direction to make changes.Form a habit of keeping a diary every day. Writing a jour nal every night before going to bedcaneffectively help you cope with the emotional impact of the cha nge process. Go to grab a penor pencil and remember a journal is not for being neat and t idy with good spelling. 3Rest is essential to success.

I’m sorry to say that unless some people are really secure in themselves and truly happy in their own life, they’re never going to like your changes. This has nothing to do with whether they love you or not. They are just for self-preservation! Therefore, give them a little time to adjust and get used to it.A. It is a step into the unknown.B. It’s not being lazy to have time out.C. No one else is going to like your changes.D. Don’t try to eat the elephant in one sitting.E. Creating change is about building your character.F. Keep repeating your small steps over and over again.G. It’s a private place where you can speak out your inner thoughts.第四节、阅读理解（2020四川卷）No one is sure how the ancient Egyptians built the pyramids near Cairo. But a new study suggests they used a little rock‘n’roll. Long-ago builders could have attached wooden poles to the stones and rolled them across the sand, the scientists say.“Technically, I think what they’re proposing is possible,” physicist Daniel Bonn said.People have long puzzled over how the Egyptians moved such huge rocks.And there’s no obvious answer. On average, each of the two million big stones weighed about as much as a large pickup truck. The Egyptians somehow moved the stone blocks to the pyramid site from about one kilometer away.The most popular view is that Egyptian workers slid the blocks along smooth paths. Many scientists suspect workers first would have put the blocks on sleds(滑板). Then they would have dragged them along paths. To make the work easier, workers may have lubricated the paths either with wet clay or with the fat from cattle. Bonn has now tested this idea by building small sleds and dragging heavy objects over sand.Evidence from the sand supports this idea. Researchers found small amounts of fat, as well as a large amount of stone and the remains of paths.However, physicist Joseph West think there might have been a simpler way, who led the new study. West said, “I was inspired while watching a television program showing how sleds might have helped with pyramid construction. I thought, ‘Why don’t they just try rolling the things ? ‘” A square could be turned into a rough sort of wheel by attaching wooden poles to its sides, he realized . That, he notes , should make a block of stone “a lot easier to roll than a square”.So he tried it.He and his students tied some poles to each of four sides of a 30-kilogram stone block. That action turned the block into somewhat a wheel. Then they placed the block on the ground.They wrapped one end of a rope around the block and pulled. The researchers found they could easily roll the block along different kinds of paths. They calculated that rolling the block required about as much force as moving it along a slippery(滑的)path.West hasn’t tested his idea on larger blocks, but he thinks rolling hasclear advantages over sliding. At least, workers wouldn’t have needed to carry cattle fat or water to smooth the paths.46.It’s widely believed that the stone blocks were moved to the pyramid siteby ______.A.rolling them on roadsB.pushing them over the sandC.sliding them on smooth pathsD.dragging them on some poles47.The unde rlined part “lubricated the paths” in Paragraph 4 means____.A.made the path wetB.made the path hardC.made the path wideD.made the path slippery48.What does the underlined word “it”in Paragraph 7 refer to?A.Rolling the blocks with poles attached.B.Rolling the blocks on wooden wheels.C.Rolling poles to move the blocks.D.Rolling the blocks with fat.49. Why is rolling better than sliding according to West ?A. Because more force is needed for sliding.B. Because rolling work can be done by fewer cattle.C. Because sliding on smooth road is more dangerous.D. Because less preparation on path is needed for rolling.50. What is the text mainly about?A. An experiment on ways of moving blocks to the pyramid site.B. An application of the method of moving blocks to the pyramid site.C. An argument about different methods of moving blocks to the pyramid site.D. An introduction to a possible new way of moving blocks to the pyramid site.。

A TV commercial can cost more than $6,000a second.1 . Which is more valuable, the program or the ad? In terms of money-and making money is what television is all about, the commercial is by far the more important.Research, market testing , talent, time and money-all come together to make us want to buy a product. 2 . The sales of charm went up once the ads began. TV commercials actually buy their way into our head. 3 .And the ads work because so much time and attention are given to them. 4 . If you want to get the lower-middle-class buyer, make sure the announcer has a tough, manly voice. Put some people in the ad who work with their hands. If you want to sell to upper-class audience , make sure that the house, the furniture, and the hair style are the types that the group identifies with. If you want the buyer to feelsuperior to the character selling the product, then make that person so stupid or silly that everyone will feel great about himself or herself.We laugh at commercials. We don't think we pay that much attention to them.5 . The making of a commercial that costs so much money is not kid stuff. It's big, big business. And it's telling us what to think, what we need, and what to buy.

But, according to a new study, we should be placing a higher value on motherhood all year. Mothers have long known that their home workload was just as heavy as paid work. Now, the new study has shown that if they were paid for their parental labours, they would earn as much as￡172,000 a year.The study looked at the range of jobs mothers do, as well as the hours they are working, to determine the figure. This would make their yearly income ￡30，000 more than the Prime Minister earns.By analyzing the numbers, it found the average mother works 119 hours a week, 40 of which would usually be paid at a standard rate 79 hours as overtime. After questioning 1,000 mothers with children under 18, it found that ,on most days, mums started their routine work at 7am and finished at around 11pm.To calculate just how much mothers would earn from that labour, it suggestedsome of the roles that mums could take on, including housekeeper, part-time lawyer, personal trainer and entertainer. Being a part-time lawyer, at ￡48.98 an hour, would prove to be the most profitable of the “mum j o bs”, with psychologist（心理学家）a close second.It also asked mothers about the challenges they face, with 80 percent making emotional（情感的）demand as the hardest thing about motherhood.Over a third of mums felt they needed more training and around half said they missed going out with friends.The study shows mothers matter all year long and not just on Mother’s Day. The emotional, physical and mental energy mothers devote to their children can be never-ending, but children are also sources of great joy and happiness. Investing （投入）in time for parenting and raising relationships is money well spent.38. How much would a mother earn a year if working as the Prime Minister?A.￡30,000.B.￡142,000.C.￡172,000.D.￡202,000.39. The biggest challenge for most mothers is from .A. emotional demandB. low pay for workC. heavy workloadD. lack of training40. What is stressed in the last paragraph?A. Mothers’ importance shows in family all year long.B. The sacrifices mothers make are huge but worthwhile.C. Mother s’ devotion to children can hardly be calculated.D. Investing time in parenting would bring a financial return.41. What can we conclude from the study?A. Mothers’ working hours should be largely reduced.B. Mothers should balance their time for work and rest.C. Mothers’ labour is of a higher value than it is realized.D. Mothers should be freed from housework for social life.。

But a new study suggests they used a little rock‘n’roll. Long-ago builders could have attached wooden poles to the stones and rolled them across the sand, the scientists say.“Technically, I think what they’re proposing is possible,” physicist Daniel Bonn said.People have long puzzled over how the Egyptians moved such huge rocks. And there’s no obvious answer. On average, each of the two million big stones weighed about as much as a large pickup truck. The Egyptians somehow moved the stone blocks to the pyramid site from about one kilometer away.The most popular view is that Egyptian workers slid the blocks along smooth paths. Many scientists suspect workers first would have put the blocks on sleds(滑板). Then they would have dragged them along paths. To make the work easier, workers may have lubricated the paths either with wet clay or with the fat from cattle. Bonn has now tested this idea by building small sleds and dragging heavy objects over sand.Evidence from the sand supports this idea. Researchers found small amounts of fat, as well as a large amount of stone and the remains of paths.However, physicist Joseph West think there might have been a simpler way, wholed the new study. West said, “I was inspired while watching a television program showing how sleds might have helped with pyramid construction. I thought, ‘Why don’t they just try rolling the things ? ‘” A square could be tu rned into a rough sort of wheel by attaching wooden poles to its sides, he realized . That, he notes , should make a block of stone “a lot easier to roll than a square”.So he tried it.He and his students tied some poles to each of four sides of a 30-kilogram stone block. That action turned the block into somewhat a wheel. Then they placed the block on the ground.They wrapped one end of a rope around the block and pulled. The researchers found they could easily roll the block along different kinds of paths. They calculated that rolling the block required about as much force as moving it along a slippery(滑的)path.West hasn’t tested his idea on larger blocks, but he thinks rolling has clear advantages over sliding. At least, workers wouldn’t have needed to c arry cattle fat or water to smooth the paths.46.It’s widely believed that the stone blocks were moved to the pyramid site by______.A.rolling them on roadsB.pushing them over the sandC.sliding them on smooth pathsD.dragging them on some poles47.The underlined part “lubricated the paths” in Paragraph 4 means____.A.made the path wetB.made the path hardC.made the path wideD.made the path slippery48.What does the underlined word “it”in Paragraph 7 refer to?A.Rolling the blocks with poles attached.B.Rolling the blocks on wooden wheels.C.Rolling poles to move the blocks.D.Rolling the blocks with fat.49. Why is rolling better than sliding according to West ?A. Because more force is needed for sliding.B. Because rolling work can be done by fewer cattle.C. Because sliding on smooth road is more dangerous.D. Because less preparation on path is needed for rolling.50. What is the text mainly about?A. An experiment on ways of moving blocks to the pyramid site.B. An application of the method of moving blocks to the pyramid site.C. An argument about different methods of moving blocks to the pyramid site.D. An introduction to a possible new way of moving blocks to the pyramid site.。
