paintings of remarkable beauty on the walls of a cave in spain. some scientists believed that these paintings were created by early humans from the stone age, between ten and thirty thousand years ago. other scientists and the public did not believe the claim, but over the years, it was proven correct. our ancestors had incredible artistic talents.most of the cave art that has been discovered has been found in spain and france. a smaller number of such caves are located in italy, portugal, russia, and other countries. scientists believe that many more caves will be discovered in the coming years, and are concentrating their efforts on africa and the area between europe and asia. these two regions of the world were, populated first by humans.cave art was carved or painted on the walls and roofs of caves, usually near the entrance. the entrance area was probably chosen to take advantage of daylight and to allow many people to view the paintings. in some cases, the art appears much deeper in caves and requires artificial light. evidence suggests that the artists used torches or shallow bowls in which animal fat was burned.1.what was the response of general public to the discovery of cave art made by stone age people? a. they believed it at first.b. they did not believe it.c. they thought it was beautiful.d. they ignored it.2.according to the passage, what can we conclude about animal fat?a. it does not burn.b. stone age artists used it to preserve their paintings.c. it can be burned to produce light.d. stone age artists mixed it with their food.3. where do scientists expect to find more cave paintings?a. in central and south america.b. in spain and france.c. in the places where there are caves with large openings.d. in the regions of the world first populated by humans.4.where would this passage be most likely to appear?a. in a textbook about early human history.b. in a textbook about modern art.c. in a dictionary.d. in an encyclopedia entry about caves.ccancun is a seaside town in mexico, where most tourists come here to enjoy the beach, water sports and night life. in fact, it is so modern and americanized that you might think you were in southern california or florida.but just a short two-hour hike from the town lie the ruins of the city of chichen-itza, one of the capitals of the lost maya（玛雅）civilization. the center of the ruins of this city is the pyramid of el castillo. the ancient mayan religious people climbed this pyramid during festival to honor the sun god. tourists today climb it to view the architectural achievements of chichen-itza and to prove their fearlessness of heights and steep （陡峭的）climbs. there is a sign in spanish, admonishing visitors “its dangerous to go up.” i gladly ignored it and started my climb.the climbing was tough. the steps were higher than one might normally take., but the climb was not fearful at all. from the top of the pyramid, i had a wonderful view of the ruins of this mayan city. what was most striking to me was that just beyond the ruins of splendid structures, gardens, temples and what looks like a modern sports stadium, you could only see forests for miles and miles. it was almost as if some race had mysteriously come out of nowhere, built it up and then suddenly disappeared from the planet, leaving only stones in its space.the only remains on the top of the pyramid were the temple of kukulcan. during the festivals to worship the sun god, only the high ranks would have the right to enter this temple.after shooting a few pictures, i realized it was time to go down. only then did i discover that what people fear about the climb is not the trip going up, but the way going down. i saw a few brave souls who were walking down as if they were in their own house. looking down at the steepness of the pyramid, i desperately feared this great height. my first desire was to joke with a few people, “where is the elevator（电梯）?” i figured that a civilization that was this advanced would have had the foresight(预见) to construct an elevator. lacking such modern equipment, i had to use the chain provided by the mexican tourist authorities and climb down on all fours.my climb was complete eventually. i quickly got on the bus back to my comfortable hotel. leaving the ruined city, i was still wondering what possibly happened long ago. but a few hours later, i was back in the modern world drinking cocktails on the beach, bathing in the sunshine before boarding the plane and waiting for my trip back home to the us, where all the modern things such as elevators are available!1. why did the writer pay a visit to the ruined city of chichen-itza?a. he wanted to climb the pyramid of el castillo and know about the mayan civilization.b. he would got to the temple of kukulcan to attend a religious festival to honor the sun god.c. he thought the city of chichen-itza was quite different from the modern town of cancun.d. he was attracted by the ruined ancient buildings there and wanted to take some photos.2. the underlined word “admonishing” in paragraph 2 probably means “_”.a. urging b. forcing c. warning d. frightening3. which of the following best shows climbing the pyramid of el castillo is a difficult task?a. the steps are very high and it is much more scaring to climb to the top.b. the climbing calls for courage and patience, and also takes a long time.c. when tourist climb up to the top, there is no elevator to take them down.d. the pyramid is high and steep, and climbing down is much more fearful.4. from the last paragraph, we can infer that the writer _.a. had a bad impression of the visit and decided to leave as soon as possible.b. thought modernization could offer people comforts and conveniences.c. got tired of the modern life and tried a different one in his own way.d. enjoyed himself in the climb though it was very tiring and dangerous.第ii卷（非选择题）五、阅读填空任务型阅读（满分10分）请认真阅读下面短文，并根据所读内容在文章后图表中的空格里填入最恰当的单词。注意：每空只填一个单词。“happy new year!” everyone will greet each other with these words as they meet each other on new years day. but it wasnt always january 1 that marked the new year.at least 4,000 years ago, the ancient egyptians and babylonians marked the changing of the year. in egypt, the year started when the nile river flooded, enriching farmers fields. this happened at the end of september. the babylonians held a festival in the spring, on march 23, to kick off the next farming cycle. the babylonian celebration lasted for 11 days.the date january 1 was picked by the roman emperor julius caesar as the change of the year when he established his own calendar in 46 bc. the month of january originates from the roman god, janus. he is pictured with two heads. one head looks forward and the other back. they represent a break between the old and new. the new calendar was in time with the sun and it has been used until the present day.in vietnam, the new year holiday happens in february. they buy fresh flowers and a peach blossom to put in their house, following the vietnamese custom.thailand has its specific new years date; its different from the normal calendar. the thai new year is celebrated on april 13. on this day, thai people play with water, throwing it on each other. it is intended to bring good luck during the new year ahead.in china, the more favorable new year is usually celebrated in february according to lunar calendar (阴历). on new years eve, all family members sit together at table, en
