三、阅读理解（每题2分，共20分）
A
Most scientists agree the Great Sphinx of Giza (吉萨狮身人面像) was built around 2,500 B.C. But John Anthony West says that it’s much older. If he’s right,“everything anybody has learned about ancient civilizations (文明) would have to be completely revised,” he told a magazine.
West, a writer and film-maker, first got interested in ancient history
after studying the work of a French researcher. The researcher said Egyptian civilization could have developed as early as 30,000 years ago, rather than 4,500 years ago, as most experts believe.
West joined a scientist to do research together. Their research suggested that the Sphinx had been worn down (磨损) over the years by water, rather than by sand and wind.
Wait a minute? Water? How could that be? The Sphinx is in the Sahara Desert, which has been dry for 12,000 years! However, before that time, it was very green. If it’s true that water wore d own the Sphinx, West thinks that it must have been built centuries earlier.
Whether West is right or wrong, it’s important to challenge accepted ideas. That’s how science progresses.
West gave some advice for kids: If you are interested in a topic, read ev erything you can on it. Do your own research. Don’t always believe everything your teachers tell you. Ask lots of questions, and find your own answers.
( )1. What does the underlined word “revised” in Paragraph 1 mean? A. Connected. B. Created.
C. Changed.
D. Controlled.
( )2. Most scientists believed Egyptian civilization developed _______.
A. 4,500 years ago
B. 6,000 years ago
C. 12,000 years ago
D. 30,000 years ago
( )3. From West’s research, we can know the Sphinx was worn down by _______.
A. sand
B. water
C. wind
D. heat
( )4. What does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about?
A. The place where West did his research.
B. The period when the Sphinx was built.
C. The reason why West holds his opinion.
D. The technology which was used to build the Sphinx.
( )5. Which of the following may the writer agree?
A. Science progresses through giving different opinions.
B. Egyptian civilization should be earlier than we thought.
C. One should do some research before giving their opinions.
D. Kids should ask lots of questions and believe what their teachers say.
B
Max reads more than anyone he knows. He loves to read during all of his free time. His friends always tease him because he likes to read more than to play video games, but his parents and his teachers are proud of him. They say reading is important and it will help him learn about the world around him. They also tell him reading is a good habit.
One day Max read a magazine article about volcanoes (火山). He told his friends all about volcanoes and what causes them to erupt (爆发). The very next week, his class were asked to do a science project about
volcanoes. Guess who everyone wanted in their project group? Max's friends weren't teasing him anymore. Max ended up being in a group with Liz, Anna and Josh.
Max brought that magazine he read before to school, so his project partners could read about volcanoes too. They also went to the library to look for more information about volcanoes. The group met at Anna's house that night to organize the information and decide what they wanted to put in the project. They all asked Max what he thought was most important. The next night they met at Josh's house to build their model volcano.
