B Eighty-one-year-old Richard Conn is training for his next adventure. On Sunday, Richard will begin the 545-mile AIDS / Life Cycle ride. “Im excited about going on the ride. I think the ride is going to be easier than the training. I keep telling myself that anyway,” says Richard. He started training in September, riding about 150 miles a week. He is a lifelong athlete (运动员). In his early years, Richard served overseas in the military. He got married, raised a couple of kids in East Bay and went on to a successful career as an engineer, but just as Richard was ready to retire, his wife developed breast cancer and passed away. “I think the death of my wife changed me,” says Richard. “She was 52 at the time, and thanks to the hospice (收容所) nurses, I was motivated (激励) to get into nursing and do the work they did.” Richard, who was then in his sixties, became a hospice nurse and later a nurse practitioner. One of his first patients was a man suffering from AIDS. “He was so young, just a beautiful young man, and it just didnt seem fair for him to have to endure that kind of death,” says Richard.

C The civilization of ancient Greece flowered more than 2,500 years ago but it still influences the way we live today. The ancient Greeks made important discoveries in science. They developed democracy (民主), where people controlled themselves instead of being ruled by a king. They developed a great deal of what we take for granted today. This is why Greece is often known as the Cradle (摇篮) of Western Civilization.The people of ancient Greece could not farm most of their mountainous, rocky land, so they became excellent sailors who traveled to distant lands. The mountainous land also meant that it was difficult for outsiders to attack Greek lands. Ancient Greece was not a unified nation, but a collection of poli. Poli is the plural(复数形式) of polis, a word often translated as city, but a polis refers to much more than a city. When we think of a city, we generally think of a place. A Greek polis consisted of a small walled area that was generally no larger than a city, the farmland that surrounded it, and most importantly, the people who lived there. Today we regard the people who live in a city as citizens, but to the ancient Greeks the people were as much of the poli as the land or the buildings. The word politics comes from the Greek polis.Each polis was a nation of its own, but the poli of ancient Greece had many things in common. The Greek poli developed independently because they were isolated by mountains or were located on small islands, but the poli spoke a common language. The poli were also small and often had to depend on one another for survival. Furthermore, the poli met every year at a great athletic contest known as the Olympics. 64. What does the first paragraph mainly talk about?A. The influence of the ancient Greeks on modern people.B. How the ancient Greeks ruled the country. C. What the ancient Greeks discovered in science and other fields. D. Why Greece is called the Cradle of Western Civilization. 65. We can learn from the passage that a polis _. A. was larger than a cityB. was an independent nationC. was one place in ancient GreeceD. depended on itself for development 66. What did the poli have in common in ancient Greece? A. They spoke the same language. B. They each held an athletic contest every year.C. They were all ruled by one king. D. They lived on different islands. 67. What kind of information can we get from the passage?A. The mountainous land could prevent the Greeks from being attacked.B. The ancient Greeks lived mainly by farming.C. Ancient Greece was a unified nation.D. The ancient Greeks were interested in politics. D New research suggests that Englands Stonehenge served as a burial ground for hundreds of years. Stonehenge has long been of interest to archaeologists (考古学家) and the public. Thousands of people visit the area each year.In the past, archaeologists thought that burials at Stonehenge continued for only about one hundred years. Studies had shown that human remains were buried there between 4,700 and 4,600 years ago. That is about a century before the famously large stones were placed there.Recent tests of human remains show burials took place at Stonehenge over a period of about five hundred years. Researchers used radiocarbon dating tests(放射性碳定年法) to estimate the age of the remains. They believed the burials began there as early as three thousand years B.C. The latest burial discovered was identified as a woman in her twenties. Her remains date back to around four thousand five hundred years ago. That is around the same period when the huge stones were put up. Scientists believed that as many as 240 people were buried in the area.Mike Parker Pearson is an archaeology professor at the University of Sheffield in England. He is also the head of the Stonehenge Riverside Project. The National Geographic Society provided financial aid (经济资助) for the research.Professor Parker Pearson says that scientists continue to debate over questions like who built Stonehenge and why. He says evidence supports the theory that the area served as a burial ground for a single ruling family. He says thirty to forty generations were buried there. This suggests one family in which each generation included more family members. Because of this, he believes it was not common people who were buried there. He says the remains are likely those of a royal family or one that ruled over the area. 68. We can learn from the passage that Stonehenge _.A. is the most famous place of interest in the worldB. has many people buried around it for about 4,700 yearsC. attracts many archaeologists and visitorsD. is well known as a royal burial ground 69.
