large temples to honor the mayan gods. skillful workers built cities around these temples. it was difficult for them to construct these cities, because they had no horses to carry the heavy stone they used to build with. workers had to carry all of the building materials themselves. today, many of these ancient mayan cities and temples are still standing.although the cities that the maya built were beautiful, and the people worked hard to build them, very few of the people lived in them. usually, only the priests lived in the cities.the other people lived in small villages in the forests. their houses were much simpler than the elaborate structures in the cities. they lived in small huts with no windows. the walls were made of poles covered with dried mud, and the roof was made of grass or leaves. most maya lived a simple life close to nature.measuring time was important to the maya, so they developed a system for measuring it accurately. farmers needed to know when to plant and harvest their crops. mayan priests made a system to keep track of time. they wrote numbers as dots (.) and bars (-). a dot was one and a bar was five.the mayan priests studied the sun, moon, stars, and planets. they made a calendar from what they learned. the year was divided into 18 months of 20 days each with five days left over. the mayan calendar was far more accurate than the european calendars of the time.around the year 800, the maya left their villages and beautiful cities, never to return. no one knows why this happened. they may have died from an infectious disease. they may have left because the soil could no longer grow crops. archaeologists are still trying to find the lost secrets of the maya. they are still one of our greatest mysteries.41. according to the passage, what made the mayan peoples life easier?a. their knowledge about nature and the world.b. the arrival of the spanish.c. the location of their villages and cities.d. the gods they believed in.42. which of the following is not true about the maya?a. religion was an important part of the mayan culture. b. the maya led a simple and natural life.c. most mayans lived in the cities they built.d. tools made the mayans farming easier and more productive.43. what numbers do“.”and “-” represent respectively?a. 2；3 b. 10；3 c. 3； 15 d. 10；1544. the elaborate structures in the cities _.a .were complex and consisted of many parts b. didnt have much decorationc. were small but very cozyd. were made of modern materials 45. what is the main idea of this passage?a. the mayan calendar was more accurate than the european calendar.b. the maya were an intelligent, culturally rich people with many achievements.c. the mysteries of the maya.d. how did the mayan develop their agriculture?ban 80-year-old man was sitting on the sofa in his house along with his 45-year-old highly educated son.suddenly a crow perched on their window. the father asked his son, “what is this?”the son replied, “it is a crow.”after a few minutes, the father asked his son the 2nd time, “what is this?”the son said, “father, i have just now told you its a crow.”after a little while, the old father again asked his son the 3rd time, “what is this?”at this time some expression of irritation was felt in the sons tone when he said to his father. “its a crow, a crow, a crow.”a little after, the father again asked his son the 4th time, “what is this?”this time the son shouted at his father, “why do you keep asking me the same question again and again, although i have told you so many times it is a crow. are you not able to understand this?”a little later the father went to his room and came back with an old tattered diary, which he had maintained since his son was born. on opening a page, he asked his son to read that page. when the son read it, the following words were written in the diary:“today my little son aged three was sitting with me on the sofa, when a crow was sitting on the window. my son asked me 23 times what it was, and i replied to him all 23 times that it was a crow. i hugged him lovingly each time he asked me the same question again and again for 23 times. i did not at all feel irritated, i rather felt affection for my innocent child.” 46. the underlined word “irritation” in the passage means _. a. puzzlement b. annoyance c. patience d. excitement 47. why did the old father keep asking his son the same question? a. because he developed a kind of disease. b. because he was so boring that he wanted to play a joke with his son. c. because he wanted to know whether his son was as patient as he used to be. d. because his son used to love playing this game with him. 48. how old was the father when he wrote down this page in the diary? a. 35 years old b. 38 years old c. 45 years old d. 80 years old 49. the reason why the father did not feel irritated when his son asked him the same question for 23 times is that _. a. he knew his son was still so innocent b. the father was more patient than the son c. the father had already got used to this kind of situation d. the father loved his son so much that he never got tired of doing this again and again 50. what would the son probably say after reading the words in the diary? a. “sorry, dad. its all my fault to forget that.” b. nothing but felt rather ashamed. c. “sorry, dad. i shouldnt have done that to you when i was such a young child.”d. “thank you, dad. i will do the same to my son.”cscientists have changed the color of a dark-striped zebra-fish to uniform gold by inserting a version of the pigment (色素) gene into a young fish. as with humans, zebra-fish skin color is determined by pigment cells, which contain melanin (黑色素). the number, size and darkness of melanin per pigment cell determine skin color. it appears that, like the golden zebra-fish, light-skinned europeans also have a mutation (变异) in the gene for melanin production. this results in less pigmented skin. however, keith cheng, leader of the research team, points out that the mutation is different in human and zebra-fish genes. humans acquired dark skin in africa about 1.5 million years ago to protect bodies from ultra-violet rays of the sun (太阳光紫外线), which can cause skin cancer. but when modern humans leave africa to live in northern latitudes, they need more sunlight on their skin to produce vitamin d. so the related gene changes, according to cheng. asians have the same version of the gene as africans, so they probably acquired their light skin through the action of some other gene that affects skin color, said cheng. the new discovery could lead to medical treatments for skin cancer. it also could lead to research into ways to change skin color without damaging it like chemical treatment did on michael jackson.51. the passage mainly tells us that _. a. people can not change their skin color without any pain b. the new discovery could lead to research into ways to change skin color safely c. pop king michael jackson often changed his skin color as he liked d. scientists have found out that peoples skin color is determined by the gene52. it can be inferred from the passage that _. a. nowadays people who want to change their skin color have to suffer a lot from the damage caused by the chemical treatment b. europeans and africans have the same gene c. the new discovery could help to find medical treatments for skin cancer d. there are two kinds of genes53. scientists have done an experiment on a dark-striped zebra-fish in order to _. a. find the different genes of humans b. prove the humans skin color is determined by the pigment gene c. find out the reason why the africans skin color is dark d. find out the ways of changing peoples skin color54. the reason why europeans are light-skinned is probably that _. a. they are born light-skinned people b. light-skinned europeans have mutation in the gene for melanin production c. they have fewer activities outside d. they pay much attention to protecting their skindmy parents lived through the great depression of the 1930s and i heard stories from both of them about how their lives changed because of it. the same was true of my in-laws whose lives were also affected negatively. for example, my husbands grandfather owned a factory. owing to the stock (证券) market crash, he lost the factory and went back to work in the very factory hed once owned. he could no longer afford to send my father-in-law to college. my father-in-law worked full time as a pipe fitter and went to school part-time to earn his degree, which took seven years.somehow, my husband and i never dreamed that we would live through anything similar. however, as they say, history often repeats itself. in 1929, the stock market crashed in the month of october. the same thing happened in 2008. my husband, who had invested (投资) all our money in the market, was in a state of shock. each day the news was more terrible.“weve lost more than half of our wealth,” he told me.i just stared at him. “how can that be?”“i thought we had good, solid investments, but it seems i was wrong.”“well, we do have pensions (抚恤金),” i said. “hopefully, they wont be affected. since we have never lived a high lifestyle to begin with, i dont think we have to worry.”“i did hope to leave our children and grandchildren a generous inheritance (遗产),” my husband said. he shook his head in disbelief.“well still be able to give gifts. love is the most important gift anyway.” our children are grown and we always try to be generous to them and our grandchildren.“it just wont be the same.”“the world is always changing,” i said. “you never know what will happen. the main thing is not to get discouraged. as long as we have our health and can afford the necessities of life, theres no reason to be upset. when you have your health, y
