　　第二部分 閱讀理解 (共20小題;每小題2分，滿分40分)

　　閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)(A、B、C和D)中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)。

　　A

　　Although Wu Huifei was only a concubine(妃子) of Tang Xuanzong (AD 685-762), the sixth emperor of the Tang Dynasty, her influence was far greater than most in her

　　position.

　　Historians say that the ruler loved her so much that, in AD

　　724, he banished his wife and made Wu a royal concubine.

　　“Although she was only a concubine, she was treated as an

　　empress with palace etiquette，” explained Shi Xiaoqun, director of relics collection for Shaanxi History Museum. “Tang Xuanzong even wanted to make her his empress

　　but was opposed by the ministers.”

　　The emperor had thousands of concubines in his palace in Chang'an (now called Xi'an, capital of Shaanxi province) but, according to Shi, he only loved Wu, the mother of seven of his children.

　　Wu died in the December of AD 737 at the age of 40 and was interred in Jingling Mausoleum. She was given the title Empress Zhenshun after her death.

　　“It's rare for a concubine to be given so much posthumous(死后獲得的) honor in the history of Chinese feudal society，” said Liu Daiyun, research director at the Shaanxi Archaeological Research Institute.

　　Her tomb­53 meters wide by 56 meters long­is located in the west of Pangliu village, which is part of Xi'an's Chang'an district.

　　The recovered sarcophagus(石棺) is 4 meters long, 2 meters wide and 2 meters tall and is decorated with flowers and maiden figures, which archaeologists say is a rare cultural relic of high scientific, historical and artistic value. In ancient times, a sarcophagus was used to house wood coffins in order to preserve the body of the noble person.

　　“ I knew it was precious but I didn't know it was so beautiful，” said Han Qinglong, who headed the team that brought the relic back to China four years after it was stolen and sold abroad by tomb raiders.

　　【語篇解讀】 歷史上武惠妃受到唐玄宗的寵愛并產(chǎn)生巨大影響，死后更享有一般

　　妃子無法企及的殊榮。這一點(diǎn)從發(fā)掘出的武惠妃的陵墓和其石棺的豪華程度就可以窺見一斑。

　　36.The underlined word “ banished” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to “________”.

　　A.killed B.removed

　　C.porced D.persuaded

　　解析　詞義猜測題。根據(jù)上下文判斷，唐玄宗如此寵愛武惠妃所以他趕走皇后，想立武惠妃做皇后。banish在本句中有“驅(qū)逐，趕走”之意。

　　答案　B

　　37.The passage mainly focuses on________.

　　A.the life story of Wu Huifei

　　B.the reason why Wu Huifei was favoured by Tang Xuanzong

　　C.the scientific, historical and artistic value of the recovered sarcophagus of Wu Huifei

　　D.the influence of Wu Huifei and her posthumous honour

　　解析　主旨大意題。本文主要圍繞武惠妃生前受到唐玄宗的寵愛并產(chǎn)生巨大影響及死后所享有的殊榮而展開敘述的，故選D項(xiàng)。

　　答案　D

　　38.Which of the following descriptions about Wu Huifei is TRUE according to the passage?

　　A.She wasn't made empress by Tang Xuanzong because of the opposition from the ministers.

　　B.She was born in 737 AD and died in 775 AD.

　　C.No other woman has a greater influence on Chinese history than she does.

　　D.Like many concubines, she was given much honor after her death.

　　解析　由第三段最后一句可知，由于群臣反對(duì)，武惠妃沒能被冊(cè)封為皇后。

　　答案　A

　　39.We can infer from the passage that the sarcophagus of Wu Huifei________.

　　A.has been well preserved in Jingling Mausoleum

　　B.is used to hold her body

　　C.is a symbol of her high status at that time

　　D.was sold abroad four years ago

　　解析　推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章倒數(shù)第二段中對(duì)武惠妃石棺的描述可推知武惠妃的石棺是那時(shí)她崇高地位的象征。

　　答案　C

　　B

　　Back in the old days, there were three wise men in ancient Greece. These three wise men were from three different generations. Socrates was the oldest of the three. He passed his knowledge lo his student, Plato, who then passed it on to Aristotle. Socraies, Plato, and Aristotle were all great philosophers(哲學(xué)家).Together, their schools of thought have since become the foundation of Western philosophy.

　　Aristotle was born in 384 B.C.His father, Nicomachus, was a doctor to the king of Macedonia.As the son of a doctor, Aristotle was no stranger to science. Growing up, he learned quite a lot about medicine and biology from his father. Later, after Nicomachus passed away, he was sent to study in Plato's Academy in Athens. Aristotle was about eighteen years old then.

　　Plato's Academy was Europe's first university. It offered courses on various subjects. Shortly after Aristotle began his study there, he devoted himself to learning everything on the curriculum. He soon proved himself an excellent student.Because of his wide range of interests, Aristotle never limited his range of education.As a result, he became the leading expert in many fields. Philosophy was simply one of them.Aristotle was in the Academy for nearly 20 years. He first joined as a student and then stayed on as a teacher. By the time that Plato died around 347 B.C., Aristotle had already built up a very good name for himself. However, he did not get the job as the head of the Academy. That post went to Plato's nephew. Some people believed that Aristotle felt angry at the choice. But there is no proof to that theory. Regardless of what he had truly felt, Aristotle decided to leave Athens. So in 347 B.C., he quit the Academy and went to work for Hermeias, ruler of Atameus, in Asia Minor (today's Turkey). Aristotle was not alone in this time. He and another Academy member, Xenocrates, who was also a famous philosopher, founded the Assus Academy. They taught there for several years. During his stay in Atarneus, Aristotle was on very good terms with Hermeias. He even married the man's niece, Pythias. Interestingly, when Aristotle later wrote his famous book, Politics, he said that the ideal ages for marriage was 37 for the husband and 18 for the wife. Given that Aristotle was 37 years old at the time, it is very likely that Pythias was 18.

　　【語篇解讀】 本文介紹了古希臘著名哲學(xué)家亞里士多德的生平。

　　40.Which of the following is NOT a philosopher?

　　A.Socrates. B.Xenocrates.

　　C.Plato. D.Nicomachus.

　　解析　細(xì)節(jié)理解題。文章第二段第二句提到Nicomachus是一名醫(yī)生，根據(jù)第一段第五句和最后一段倒數(shù)第六句可知，其他三人都是哲學(xué)家，故選D。

　　答案　D

　　41.What's the right order of the following events?

　　a.Socrates passed his knowledge to his student, Plato.

　　b.Aristotle was sent to Plato's Academy.

　　c.Aristotle wrote his famous book, Politics.

　　B.Plato's Arcademy was the first university in the world.

　　C.Aristotle ended up with a happy marriage.

　　D.Aristotle never left his homeland all his life.

　　解析　推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章最后三句可知亞里土多德有著幸福美滿的婚姻。A項(xiàng)只是一種說法，并未得到證實(shí);B項(xiàng)的“the world”應(yīng)改成“Europe”;由亞里士多德離開Athens去了Asia Minor可知D項(xiàng)錯(cuò)誤。

　　答案　C

　　43.According to the passage we can know in Plato's Academy________.

　　A.students were provided with only a few subjects at that time

　　B.Aristotle worked hard hut he was still not famous

　　C.Aristotle didn't have a very good time for 20 years

　　D.Arisiotle was not only a student but also became a teacher

　　解析　推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章第三段第二句可知A項(xiàng)錯(cuò)誤;根據(jù)文章第三段第六句可知B項(xiàng)錯(cuò)誤;C項(xiàng)文中沒有信息支持;根據(jù)文章第三段中的“He first joined as a student and then stayed on as a teacher...”可知D項(xiàng)正確。

　　答案　D

　　C

　　Retracing one of the most important trading routes of ancient civilisation, this remarkable tour follows in the footsteps of such legendary figures as Alexander the Great and Marco Polo.

　　Crossing both Russia and China as well as some of the remotest former Soviet republics­Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan­our journey will take in some of the most magnificent yet little­visited sights from the ancient world.Eastbound(向東的) trips start in Russia's capital Moscow，where we have plenty of time to explore. We travel on to Volgograd­better known as Stalingrad­where the Soviets turned the course of the Second World War, before heading to far remoter places that owe their importance to a time much further back in history.

　　The Kara Kum desert is followed by the amazing 2,500­year­old cities of Khiva and Bukhara-considered so important by UNESCO(聯(lián)合國教科文組織) that it supported their restoration-and then Samarkand, the‘Rome of the East’. Much admired by Alexander the Great, Samarkand is home to Registan Square, a spectacular open space surrounded by beautiful Islamic buildings and considered one of the most inspirational sights in central Asia.In between Khiva and Bukhara we take a two­day excursion into Turkmenistan and visit the capital city of Ashgabat, a huge modern folly(裝飾性建筑) in the desert and a monument to the recently deceased President Sapamurat Turkmenbashi. We also visit the ancient city of Merv before returning to Uzbekistan.

　　After crossing the border into China, our tour takes in the fascinating Magao Thousand Buddha cave complex (a network of almost 500 grottoes containing over 2,000 statues and 45,000 murals created up to 1,700 years ago), the Jiayuguan fortress at the end of the Great Wall (considered one of northern China's most spectacular sights) and the world­famous Terracotta Warriors, an army of almost 6,000 statues recognised as one of the greatest archaeological finds of the 20th Century. We end our journey in Beijing, the vibrant capital of modern, confident China...where the latest architecture rubs shoulders with Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City.

　　羅等傳奇人物的足跡，踏上古代文明閃閃發(fā)光的一條最重要的貿(mào)易路線。

　　44.The ancient city of Merv now belongs to________.

　　A.Russia B.Soviet

　　C.Turkmenistan D.Uzbekistan

　　解析　細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段中的...Into Turkmenistan and visit the capital city of Ashgabat...We also visit the ancient city of Merv before returning to Uzbekistan.得知Merv城屬于Turkmenistan。

　　答案　C

　　45.If you take an eastbound trip, you can visit the four cities in the following order：

　　A.Beijing, Sarnarkand, Ashgabat, Moscow

　　B.Moscow, Samarkand, Ashgabat, Beijing

　　C.Beijing, Ashgabat, Samarkand, Moscow

　　D.Moscow, Ashgabat, Samarkand, Beijing

　　解析　細(xì)節(jié)理解題。從文章內(nèi)容可知，向東的旅行起點(diǎn)在莫斯科，終點(diǎn)在北京。由第三段中信息The Kara Kum desert is followed by the amazing 2,500­year­old cities of Khiva and Bukhara...and then Samarkand，the“ Rome of the East”以及In between Khiva and Bukhara we take a two­day excursion into Turkmenistan and visit the capital city of Ashgabat，可知，先參觀Khiva和Bukhara，然后是Samarkand，而在參觀前兩者中間去參觀Ashgabat，可知參觀Samarkand在Ashgabat之后。

　　答案　D

　　46.From the text we know that Volgograd is known for________.

　　A.its hard­working people

　　B.a historical event

　　C.its long history

　　D.its pleasant weather

　　解析　細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由第二段中的We travel on to Volgograd—better known as Stalingrad­where the Soviets turned the course of the Second World War，可知二戰(zhàn)中蘇聯(lián)取得了斯大林格勒保衛(wèi)戰(zhàn)的勝利，現(xiàn)在的伏爾加格勒就是歷史上曾經(jīng)的斯大林格勒，故伏爾加格勒因此而出名。

　　答案　B

　　47.What's the possible meaning of the underlined word “excursion” in the third paragraph?

　　A.Trip. B.Holiday.

　　C.Research. D.Study.

　　解析　詞義猜測題。該詞所在句說，在Turkmenistan有一個(gè)兩天的excursion，參觀首都Ashgabat和古城Merv，可知，excursion應(yīng)該指“旅游，遠(yuǎn)足”之意，故選A。

　　答案　AD
