It is listed by the Guiness Book of World Records as the worlds largest underground lake. The Lost Sea is part of an extensive and historic cave system called Craighead Caverns.The caverns have been known and used since the days of the Cherokee Indian nation. The cave expends into a series of huge rooms from a small opening on the side of the mountain, approximately one mile from the entrance, in a room called “The Council Room”, many Indian articacts have been found. Some of the items discovered include pottery, arrowheads, weapons, and jewelry.For many years there were persistent rumors of a large underground lake somewhere in a cave, but it was not discovered until 1905. In that year, a thirteen-year-old boy named Ben Sands crawled through a small opening three hundred feet underground. He found himself in a large cave half filled with water.Today tourists visit the Lost Sea and ride far out onto it in glassbottomed boats powered by electric motors. More than thirteen acres of water have been mapped out so far and still no end of the lake has been found. Even though teams of divers have tried to explore the Lost Sea, the full extent of it is still unknown.41.

Only the basic flags of Austria, Denmark, Great Britain, the Netherlands, Sweden, and Switzerland are older.During the discovery and settlement of what is now the United States, the flags of various European nations were flown over the land, as symbols of possession. Later, in the Colonial and Revolutionary War periods, flags representing famous persons, places and events were flown in the American Colonies.The first official flag of the United States was created by Congress on June 14, 1777. It consisted of 13 alternate red and white stripes and 13 white stars in a field of blue, representing the 13 colonies that had declared their independence in 1776. Congress adopted a new flag of 15 stars and 15 stripes in 1795, to give representation to the two new states admitted into the Union, Vermont and Kentucky.By 1817, there were 20 states in the Union, and it became apparent that adding one stripe for each new state would destroy the shape of the flag. As a result, Congress in1818 restored the original design of 13 stripes and provided that each state was to be represented by one star. In 1912 President William H. Taft made the first official provision for the arrangement of the stars. He ordered that there be six even rows of eight stars each. Previously the arrangement of the stars had been left to the flag-makings fancy.46.

CongressD. 13 famous people in the American colonies48. Why is it that the original design of 13 stripes was restored in 1818? _.A. Too many stripes would destroy the shape of the flagB. Congress insisted 13 be the best numberC. That was a decision President Taft had madeD. the American people would accept this restoration49.

Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words. Write your answer on the ANSWER SHEET. (10 points)As it was started 5000 years ago and remodeled (重建) several times in the following centuries, we can only really apply supposition and guess-work to interpret the reasons for Stonehenges existence. In more recent times a great many unlikely suggestions have been advanced as to the purpose and origin of the stones, ranging from Roman Temple and Druids to spaceship launch pads and ancient Greek architects. There is no evidence for any of these but one fact is certain: the major axis of Stonehenge was carefully aligned (排列) with the midwinter and midsummer sun. There are other alignments too, such as with the rising and setting of the moon, And all these point to Stonehenge being built to mark the annual calendar and seasons.What incredible lengths the prehistoric builders went to in constructing such a monument. It is hard for us to imagine how, with only primitive tools to help them, men cut and shaped these huge stones. Even more extraordinary, the massive stone lintels(楣，过梁) are to the upright upon which they rest, and are curved to follow the circumference（圆周、周围） of the circle. Nor were they local stonessome were brought 20 miles from Marlborough; the smaller Bluestones were brought from the Preseli Mountains in Southwest Wales. Without machines or roads as we know them, it was a quite exceptional feat of organization.From afar, Stonehenge may seem disappointingly small, for we are used to being dwarfed by modern buildings. Close to, its grandeur（庄严、伟大）is clear. Bear in mind that some of the stones making up the outer ring and inner horseshoe of uprights with lintels weigh over 50 tons each. There are the hard, bare facts about this monument, which tell us what great things the earliest inhabitants（居民）of this island could achieve even if we remain unclear about their purpose. The mystery surrounding Stonehenge still seems as perpetual as the stones themselves.61. How long has
