Wool was probably the first fiber to be woven into textiles. Because when humans stopped hunting and started raising animals, it was their first step from a wild life to a civilized one. Sheep became a convenience store for the new lifestyle of our ancestor during the Stone Age, a walking food supply that required little care. Sheep provided all meat and milk for food, skin and bones for clothing, shelters and tools.Some sheep were suitable to roast while others were to produce wool, as sheep fit for eating do not necessarily have highquality wool. Early wild species of sheep had long outer hair protecting their short wool undercoats. It was this underlayer that was highly suitable for textile use, so they were selectively bred into modern sheep.Great empires were built on the backs of sheep and their wool. Around 1800 BC, the civilization of Babylonia was famous for its wool. After the Romans conquered Spain, they developed a new breed (品种) that would come to be known as Spanish Merino, with the whitest, finest wool ever known. Today, the Merino is the most highly regarded breed in the world.The Chinese held onto the secret of silk for thousands of years before Europeans even got an idea about how to put two threads together. With wool, they_seem_to_have_got_their_revenge.1What do we know about raising sheep in the Stone Age?APeople made great efforts to raise sheep.BPeople exchanged sheep for what they needed.CSheep led to the boom of ancient society.DSheep met many basic needs of ancient people.解析：选D细节理解题。根据第二段的“Sheep became a convenience store for the new lifestyle . meat and milk for food, skin and bones for clothing, shelters and tools”可知，羊的肉和奶可作为食物，皮可作为衣服和遮蔽物，而骨头可用于制作各种工具，即羊满足了古人的许多基本需求，故选D。2What is the main idea of Paragraph 3?AEconomic value of sheep.BFeatures of sheep breeds.CChoice of suitable sheep breeds.DDevelopment of the wool industry.解析：选C段落大意题。根据第三段的内容可知，本段主要介绍了不是所有的羊都适合用于羊毛编织，故人们选择了合适的品种饲养。故选C。3What are Babylonia and the Romans mentioned to prove?AThe wisdom of ancient people.BThe aggression of ancient nations.CThe link between their rise and wool.DThe greatness of wellorganized ancient society.解析：选C推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“Great empires were built on the backs of sheep and their wool”可知，一些实力强大的帝国是建立在羊背和羊毛上的，紧接着就列举了巴比伦王国和罗马人的例子，故可判断出，作者提到巴比伦王国和罗马人是为了说明他们的崛起和羊毛之间是有联系的。4What does the underlined part in the last paragraph mean?AThey lost their advantage of something.BThey won and got rid of the shame of failure.CThey did something harmful to their opponent.DThey were taking pains to catch up with others.解析：选B句意理解题。根据最后一段的第一句可知，中国人在掌握了如何制作丝绸的秘诀数千年之后，欧洲人才知道如何把两根蚕丝缠绕在一起变为一根。结合上文中提到西方国家在羊毛利用方面的领先情况可以推断出，画线部分意思应为他们似乎扳回一局，即羊毛纺织让欧洲人得以“一雪前耻”。revenge意为“报仇，复仇，雪耻”。BPeople_seldom_feel_neutral_about_poetry. Those who love it sometimes give the impression that it is an adequate substitute for food, shelter, and love. It isnt. Words, no matter how satisfying, are never an equivalent for life itself and its human experiences. Those who dislike poetry on principle sometimes claim, on the other hand, that poetry is only words and good for nothing. Thats not true either. It is easy to become frustrated by words in poetry or in life but when words represent and recreate genuine human feelings, as they often do in poetry, they can be very important. Poetry is an experience of words, and those who know how to read poetry can easily extend their experience of life, their sense of what other people are like, their awareness of themselves, and their range of human feelings.One reason poetry can be so important is that it is so closely concerned with feelings. Poetry is often full of ideas, too, and sometimes poems can be powerful experiences of the mind, but most poems are primarily about how people feel rather than how people think. Poems provide, in fact, a language for feeling, and one of poetrys most outstanding values involves its attempt to express the inexpressible. How can anyone, for example, put into words what it means to be in love or what it feels like to lose someone one cares about? Poetry tries, and it often captures exactly the shade of emotion that feels just right to a reader. No single poem can be said to express all the things that love or death feels like, or means, but one of the joys of experiencing poetry occurs when we read a poem and want to say, “Y
