Do You Have the Time? In English, this question has two different meanings. The first one is “Do you know what time it is？” While commonly, this is less frequently used than the simpler question with the same meaning “What time is it？” The other is “Do you have the time (e.g.to do this or that)？” This is a very commonly asked question, whether in American, British, or Australian English. I think the response “I don't have the time” is most commonly used year after year. _1.

Think about how often you (and I) have used this as an explanation of why we couldn't do something, take on a new task, help someone, visit someone, etc. Sometimes it's a statement of fact, and sometimes it's just an excuse. 2. However, deep down we each have a pretty clear idea of the difference. In practical terms, the lack of available time seems to be and often is a true reason for why we cannot take something on. 3. “I just don't have the time” is too often an escape. Once we get to a certain age, when we are generally considered to be grown­ups, we are expected to have developed time management skills. In many instances, “I don't have the time” has the same meaning as “I am not willing to make the time”. Sure, we're all busy, but in the end, it's a matter of which is more important.

4. It doesn't grow on trees or fall from the sky like raindrops. You make the time as well as most of the related decisions about what is important. 5. If you don't decide on the use of your time, the decision will be taken away from you. It's really up to us to decide on how to balance and manage time, and that's a challenge.

A．No one gives you the time.

B．After all, it's so convenient as an excuse.

C．The key is what criteria you rely on to make decisions.

D．The distinction here between them is blurry (模糊不清的) and subjective.

E．Be aware it's the world's most common excuse, whether you speak it out or not.

F．But it does mean we need to develop a clear approach to time management.

G．Actually if we try to rearrange our time, or make a sacrifice, we can make it.

The voice of an ancient Egyptian priest has been heard for the first time in more than 3,000 years, thanks to a detailed reconstruction of his vocal tract (声带) from his mummified remains.

A team of scientists in England used medical scans of the famous mummy of Nesyamun to create a digital, 3D model of the insides of the individual’s throat and mouth, which were reproduced on a 3D printer. Then the researchers created an artificial larynx (喉头) with a loudspeaker using an electronic waveform. The sound was then played through the speaker into the 3D printed vocal tract to produce a short bust of Nesyamun’s voice — a sound not heard since the 11th century B.C.

Previous efforts to reproduce ancient voices could only approximate them, by animating facial reconstructions with software. In comparison, the sound of Nesyamun’s voice is based on “an extant (现存的) vocal tract preserved over 3,000 years,” the researchers wrote.

Nesyamun lived around 1100 B.C. He is thought to have died in his late 50s from a severe allergic reaction. Almost 3,000 years later, his mummy was discovered at Karnak and transported to the Leeds City Museum in 1823. His remains and ornate coffin (棺材) have since become some of the world’s best researched relics of ancient Egypt.

“Nesyamun’s mummy was a good choice for studying the sound of an ancient voice,” said David Howard, the lead author of the new research, “It was particularly suited, given its age and preservation of its soft tissues, which is unusual.”

He said he hopes the scientific understanding of how human voices are created can be combined with knowledge of the ancient Egyptian language to reconstruct longer passages of Nesyamun’s speech.

Before examining the mummy, the researchers had to deal with ethical (道德的) concerns related to examining a person without their consent. They used nondestructive research methods, and took into account words on his coffin, relating that Nesyamun hoped again to address the gods as he had in his working life.

The researchers interpreted that to indicate his desire to speak again after death. “We are in a way fulfilling his declared wishes,” Howard said.

Howard and Schofield said they hope a reconstruction of Nesyamun’s speech, perhaps reciting an ancient Egyptian prayer, can be featured at the Karnak temple in Egypt for modem tourists.

“When visitors encounter the past, it is usually a visual encounter,” said Schofield. “With this voice, we can change that.”

1.The voice of Nesyamun was recreated by _____.

A.repairing his vocal tract

B.bringing Nesyamun back to life

C.using some advanced technologies

D.combining it with facial movements

2.Why was Nesyamun’s mummy suitable for research?

A.He often gave long speeches.

B.His vocal tract is well preserved.

C.A severe disease resulted in his death.

D.His remains are displayed in the museum.

3.What does the underlined word in Paragraph 8 refer to?

A.The researchers took into account words on his coffin.

B.Nesyamun’s mummy was examined without his consent.

C.The researchers hope to reconstruct longer passages of his speech.

D.Nesyamun hoped to address the gods as he had in his working life.

4.What would be the best title for the passage?

A.A 3000-year-old mummy speaks again

B.The voice of a mummy excites visitors

C.A 3D-printed vocal tract has been created

D.The dream of Nesyamun has been achieved

Over the years, cheerleading has taken two primary forms: game-time cheerleading and competitive cheerleading. Game-time cheerleaders’ main goal is to entertain the crowd and lead them with team cheers, which should not be considered a sport. However, competitive　 cheerleading is more than a form of entertainment. It is really a competitive sport.

Competitive cheerleading includes lots of physical activity. The majority of the teams require a certain level of tumbling (翻腾运动) ability. It’s a very common thing for gymnasts, so it’ s easy for them to go into competitive cheerleading. Usually these cheerleaders integrate lots of their gymnastics experience including their jumps, tumbling, and overall energy. They also perform lifts and throws. This is where the “fliers” are thrown in the air, held by “bases” in different positions that require strength and working with other teammates.

Competitive cheerleading is also an activity that is governed by rules under which a winner can be declared. It is awarded points for technique, creativity and sharpness. Usually the more difficult the action is, the better the score is. That’s why cheerleaders are trying to experience great difficulty in their performance.

Besides, there is also a strict rule of time. The whole performance has to be completed in less than three minutes and fifteen seconds, during which the cheerleaders are required to stay within a certain area. Any performance beyond the limit of time is invalid.

Another reason for the fact that competitive cheerleading is one of the hardest sports is that it has more reported injuries. According to some research, competitive cheerleading is the number one cause of serious sports injuries to women. Emergency room visits for it are five times the number than for any other sport, partially because cheerleaders don’t use protective equipment. Smiling cheerleaders are thrown into the air and move down into the arms of the teammates, which may easily cause injuries. Generally, these injuries affect all areas of the body, including wrists, shoulders, ankles, head, and neck.

There can be no doubt that competitive cheerleading is a sport with professional skills. Hopefully, it will appear in the Olympics since cheerleaders are just as athletic and physically fit　 as those involved in the more accepted sports. It should be noted that it is a team sport and even　 the smallest mistake made by one teammate can bring the score of the entire team down. So without working together to achieve the goal, first place is out of reach.

1.What is the main purpose of competitive cheerleading?

A. To compare skills of participants.

B. To make the audience feel amused.

C. To attract more people to watch events.

D. To cheer up the competitors on the court.

2.The underlined word “integrate” in Paragraph 2 probably means “______”.

A. examine B. identify

C. combine D. replace

3.We can learn from the passage that competitive cheerleading ______.

A. lacks necessary guidelines to follow

B. enjoys greater popularity than other sports

C. requires more designed actions than gymnastics

D. has a relatively high rate of damage to the body

4.Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?

I: Introduction P: Point Sp: Sub-point (次要点) C: Conclusion

A.  B.

C.  D.
