The Maya were an intelligent, culturally rich people whose achievements were many. They had farms, beautiful palaces, and cities with many buildings and knew a lot about nature and the world around them which helped them to live a better life than most people of that time, because they could use it to make their lives more comfortable and rewarding. Knowledge about tools and farming, for instance, made their work easier and more productive. But not every Maya had to be a farmer. Some were cloth makers, builders, or priests.The Maya believed in many gods, including rain gods, sun gods, and corn gods. They built 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 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 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 structure in the cities. They lived in the small huts with no windows. The walls were made of poles covered with dried mud, and roof was made of grass or leaves. Most Maya lived a simple life close to nature.The Mayan priests studied the Sun, Moon, stars, and planets. They made a calendar from what they learnedThe 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.The Mayan disappeared close to the year 900 AD, never to return. No one knows why this happenedThey 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 . They are still one of our greatest mysteries.56What is the main idea of this article?AThe Mayan calendar was more accurate than the European calendar.BThe Maya were excellent farmers.CThe Maya were a culturally rich and advanced society.DThe Mayan cities were difficult to build57What can be learned from the text?AMayan cloth makers, builders and priests all came from farmer.BThe Mayan priests lived better than other people.CThe Mayan gods helped to build the cities.DThe Maya left their villages and beautiful cities for no reason.58What does the underlined word “elaborate” mean?ASmallBPlain CFull of imagination and skillsDOld59What would be the best title for the text?AThe Maya and Their buildingsBThe Mystery of MayaCThe History of MexicoDThe Mayan peoples lifeBDr. Hausman is a hair detective. Once a mountain lion killed a thirteen - year- old boy. The town offered a reward of thousand dollars for anyone who would kill the lion. One day an excited hunter came to the town to say that he had killed the mountain lion. As proof that he had killed the right animal, he showed a ball of human hair. He said he had taken the hair from the stomach of the mountain lion. However, another hunter soon showed up to claim (索要) the rewardHe too had a ball of human hair that he said he had taken from the dead lion s stomach. The town did not know which man to pay. Maybe neither one had killed the right mountain lion. To settle the argument, they decided to turn the whole thing over to Dr. Hausman. Dr. Hausman studied the hair and reported that the second hunter should be paidThe hair in the stomach of the mountain lion he had killed matched the hair of the boy. The whole town was relieved to know for sure that the killer had been found There are other kinds of detectives who do not wear a uniform, like Hausman, solve endless mysteries every year. There is, for example, the dust detective. Tiny bits of dust stick to your clothes, your fingernails, your hair, or your shoes. They catch in your nose and in your ears. They tell where you have been and what you have done lately. The dust detective often helps catch a criminal by proving that he has been on the scene of the crime (罪案) . Then there is the wood detective. By studying a piece of wood he can tell what kind of tree the piece of wood came from. He can tell where it was grown, and how old it is. He can even tell you what the weather was like at a certain place the year Columbus landed in AmericaThe growth rings on a tree tell him.60According to the selection, by studying a piece of wood, a wood detective can tell you _.Awhat the weather was like the year Columbus landed in AmericaBwhat the weather was like last year in the mountainCwhat the weather was like last month in your hometownDwhat kind of tree the piece of wood came from61Endless mysteries are solved every year by _.Adetectives who like Hausman Bdetectives like HausmanCother kinds of detectives who like Hausmam Ddetectives Dr. Hausman likes62What does the underlined word they (para5) mean?AYour clothes. BYour finger - nail. CTiny bits of dust. DYour shoes.63It is implied in the selection that it is most important for a criminal _.Ato prove that he has been on the scene of the crime Bto prove that he has not been on the scene of the crimeCto tell the detective what he has done lately.Dto show the detective his nose and his earsCSlang is one of those things that everybody can recognize and nobody can define（下定义）. Not only is it hard to wrap slang in a definition, it is also hard to distinguish （区别）it from such similar things as colloquialism (口语), provincialism (方言), jargon (行话) or trade talk（行业话）.Usually, slang tends to be transient. Thus parents are often laughed at by their children when this older generation uses slang which was considered to be the height of fashion in their own youth. Of course, the slang teenage children use today is very different from that of their parents. Indeed it might ever be some obscure (晦涩的) foreign language as far as the older generation is concerned for it is totally beyond their understanding.It is often said that a slang term stops to be slang when it is accepted by the dictionary. This is not really the case. You will find many slang terms listed in dictionaries are still slang terms. The term stops to be slang when it drives its respectable synonym（同义词）out of use, or when it acquires a meaning that cannot be expressed otherwise.Such things have happenedThe term hot dog was once a slang term, but it couldnt be considered so now. No one in America would go up to a counter and order a sausage sandwich. Similarly varsity, originally a slang contraction (缩写) of university, has acquired a special meaning which only it expresses and is no longer slang. Jazz, when it means a particular kind of music, is scarcely a slang form, since there is no more respectable word meaning that kind of music64Which would be the best title for this passage?ASlang BSlang terms and their meaningsCHow to understand slang termsDSlang terms and other forms of language65Parents are often laughed at by their children when_.Athey want to be at the height of the fashion Bthey use out-of-date slangCthey try to learn from their childrenDthey want to follow the fashion66The last paragraph is intended to show _.Awhen a slang word is no longer slang Bwhen a slang word disappearsChow slang words are used Dhow to understand slang words67The underlined word in the second paragraph probably means _.Along-lasting Bshort-lived Ceasy to understand Dhard to understand D*Monday, September 25, 2000SYDNEY.
