CTsunami is a natural disaster, which is a Japanese word that means“sea wave”. A tsunami is a huge sea wave that forms mainly in the Pacific Ocean area. People die and property is destroyed when a tsunami hits land. What causes these dangerous sea waves? Sometimes, tsunamis are caused when earthquakes take place underwater. Then, water begins to move up and down from the top of the ocean right down to the bottom. Waves begin to form, and each wave is called a tsunami.A tsunami is less than one meter high and can move at a speed of almost 800 kilometers per hour while it is far out in the ocean. But the tsunami rises much higher and moves more slowly as it comes closer to land.The weather bureau(气象局)warns people over the radio and television when a tsunami is heading for land. These warnings have helped save many lives.28.The Japanese word“tsunami” means.A.earthquakeB.sea waveC.ocean waterD.tornado（龙卷风）29.According to the passage ,a tsunami can be caused by.A.an underwater earthquakeB.heavy rainsC.waves hitting landD.tornado30.As the tsunami moves toward land, it.A.picks up more speedB.becomes far less dangerousC.rises higher and higherD.rises lower and lower31.According to this passage,.A.a tsunami cant cause lots of troubleB.people can save their lives when a tsunami is comingC.the warning from the weather bureau can help people save their livesD.no one can escape when a tsunami is comingDNo one is sure how the ancient Egyptians built the pyramids near Cairo. But a new study suggests they used a little rock n roll. Long-ago builders could have attached wooden poles to the stones and rolled them across the sand, the scientists say.Technically, I think what theyre proposing is possible, physicist Daniel Bonn said.People have long puzzled over how the Egyptians moved such huge rocks. And theres no obvious answer. On average, each of the two million big stones weighed about as much as a large pickup truck. The Egyptians somehow moved the stone blocks to the pyramid site from about one kilometer away.The most popular view is that Egyptian workers slid the blocks along smooth paths. Many scientists suspect workers first would have put the blocks on sleds(滑板). Then they would have dragged them along paths. To make the work easier, workers may havelubricated the pathseither with wet clay or with the fat from cattle. Bonn has now tested this idea by building small sleds and dragging heavy objects over sand.Evidence from the sand supports this idea. Researchers found small amounts of fat, as well as a large amount of stone and the remains of paths.However, physicist Joseph West thinks there might have been a simpler way, who led the new study. West said, I was inspired while watching a television program showing how sleds might have helped with pyramid construction. I thought, Why dont they just try rolling the things? A square could be turned into a rough sort of wheel by attaching wooden poles to its sides, he realized. That, he notes, should make a block of stone a lot easier to roll than a square.So he tried it.He and his students tied some poles to each of four sides of a 30-kilogram stone block. That action turned the block into somewhat a wheel. Then they placed the block on the ground.They wrapped one end of a rope around the block and pulled. The researchers found they could easily roll the block along different kinds of paths. They calculated that rolling the block required about as much force as moving it along a slippery path.West hasnt tested his idea on larger blocks, but he thinks rolling has clear advantages over sliding. At least, workers wouldnt have needed to carry cattle fat or water to smooth the paths.32.Its widely believed that the stone blocks were moved to the pyramid site by _.A.rolling them on roadsB.pushing them over the sandC.sliding them on smooth pathsD.dragging them on some poles33.The underlined part lubricated the paths in Paragraph 4 means _.A.made the paths wetB.made the paths hardC.made the paths wideD.made the paths slippery34.Why is rolling better than sliding according to West?A.Because more force is needed for sliding.B.Because less preparation on paths is needed for rolling.C. Because sliding on smooth roads is more dangerous.D.Because rolling work can be done by fewer cattle.35.What is the text mainly about?A.An introduction to a possible new way of moving blocks to the pyramid site.B.An application of the method of moving blocks to the pyramid site.C.An argument about different methods of moving blocks to the pyramid site.D.An experiment on ways of moving blocks to the pyramid site.第二节 （共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。Symbol of friendship Friendship is a wonderful thing to have no matter how old you are.
