LONDON—Archaeologists have discovered a smaller prehistoric(史前) site near Britain’s famous circle of standing stones at Stonehenge.
Researchers have named the site “Bluehenge” after the color of the 27 Welsh stones that were laid to make up a path. The stones have disappeared, but the path of holes remains.
The new circle, unearthed over the summer by researchers from Sheffield University, represents an important find, researchers said Saturday. The site is about a mile away from Stonehenge.
Bluehenge, about 80 miles southwest of London, is believed to date back to about the time Stonehenge was built, about 5,000 years ago.
Mike Parker Pearson of Sheffield University said he believed the path and stonehenge itself were linked to rituals(仪式) of life and death.
Mike Parker suggested that the ancient funerary rituals began at a different circle site known as “Wood-henge”, which represented the world of the living. The bodies of the dead were then brought down the River Avon to Bluehenge, which represented death, and were finally carried along a ceremonial route known as the Avenue to Stonehenge.
Bournemouth University Professor Tim Darvill, an expert on Stonehenge, told Britain’s Dail Mail that Bluehenge “adds to the richness” of the ancient site’s story.
“This henge is very important because it forms part of the picture of ceremonial monuments in the area and puts Stonehenge into context,” Darvill was quoted(引述) as saying. “It’s no longer Stonehenge standing alone, but it has to be seen in context with the landscape.”
53.How many henges are mentioned in this passage?
A.Two B.Three C.Four D.Five
54.Who believed the Stonehenge is related to ancient ritual of death?
A.Archaeologists from London B.Welsh researchers
C.Mike Parker Pearson D.Professor Tim Darvill
55.What does the underlined sentence “It’s no longer Stonehenge standing alone, but it has to be seen in context with the landscape.” in the last paragraph mean?
A.Stonehenge has noting to do with Bluehenge
B.Woodhenge represented the world of living in ancient times.
C.Bluehenge represented death
D.Stonehenge, Woodhenge and Bluehenge should be studied together
56.From the passage we can learn that ______.
A.researchers have named the site “Bluehenge,” because they have found blue huge stones there
B.funerary rituals were carried out along the path starting from Woodhenge, River Avon to Bluehenge, finally Stonehenge.
C.Bluehenge is 1 mile away from London
D.Bluehenge dates back to 2000 BC

Every day, Americans throw away 500 million plastic straws, enough to circle the Earth twice. They are almost never recycled, and simply contribute to the great problem of plastic pollution; eight million tons of plastic is dumped into the oceans every year.
Plastic straws are now the target of a growing movement to reduce their use. Possibly the first of such campaigns, Be Straw Free was started in 2011 by Milo Cress, who was only nine years old at the lime.
“I noticed that whenever I ordered a drink at a restaurant, it would usually come with a straw in it, and I don’ I usually need a straw,” he said. “This seemed like a huge waste. Straws are made of oil, a precious and finite resource. Is making single - use plastic straws, which will be used for a matter of minutes before being tossed away, really what we want to do with this resource?”
Cress started asking restaurants in Burlington, Vermont, where he lived at the time, to stop providing straws automatically to customer and make them optional instead. Many agreed and his request made ripples (涟漪) nationwide. The restaurants that make the switch report a reduction in the number of straws they use between 50 and 80%.
The anti - straw sentiment has crossed borders into the UK, where straws have been included in a government plan to ban ail plastic waste by 2042.
Last year large pub chain Wetherspoons announced that it would replace plastic straws with paper alternatives across 900 outlets. After the announcement, many smaller chains and pubs across the country followed suit. According to Wetherspoons CEO John Hutson, the move will save 70 million plastic straws a year and the reaction from patrons has been “very positive”.
Offering alternatives or making plastic straws optional, rather than banning them completely, is a common trait among these campaigns. “There are many other viable alternatives to single - use plastic drinking straws that are less harmful to the environment, wildlife and humans,” said Jackie Nunez, founder of The Last Plastic Straw.
1.What can we learn from Paragraph 1?
A. Plastic straws are too costly to produce.
B. All plastic straws are dumped into the sea.
C. Plastic straws are too small to be recycled.
D. Plastic straws cause great pollution.
2.What did Milo Cress ask his local restaurants to do?
A. To make plastic straws optional.
B. To stop the use of plastic straws.
C. To charge the use of plastic straws.
D. To reject the request for plastic straws.
3.What is the Wetherspoons’ effort to reduce the use of plastic straws?
A. To ban the use of plastic straws.
B. To close some of its outlets.
C. To offer customers alternatives.
D. To seek the government’s support.
4.What is the Wetherspoons customers’ attitude towards the move?
A. Uncaring. B. Favorable.
C. Ambiguous. D. Disapproving.

Iceland, an island just south of the Arctic Circle, has fairly mild winters, thanks to warm ocean currents. Time your vacation here during the winter months to take advantage of off-season deals.
Off-season means good deals on flights, hotels and tours. You may also find that the locals are a bit friendlier and more welcoming when tourists aren’t arriving in crowds.
In the winter months, there are less than seven hours of daylight; thus, chances are good you’ll catch sight of the northern lights. Sunsets are also beautiful at this time, making for some great photo opportunities.
In Iceland, winter is the perfect time to hike glaciers, go ice climbing, explore caves made out of hardened lava(岩浆) and much more. One of the most popular activities is off-roading(越野比赛) in a specially-equipped “super jeep”.
Before booking your trip, be sure to check for volcano alerts. There are about 130 volcanoes on or around Iceland. Thirty-five of them are active. In 2010, a volcano named Eyjaallajokull exploded, sending clouds of ash up to four kilometers into the atmosphere. The ash drifted toward the UK and Europe. Because the ask could damage aircraft engines, airlines operating in the region were forced to cancel flights for six days. As a result, thousands of people were stuck in airports.
Recently, another volcano named Bardarbunga has become active, erupting ash into the air. Such events, if large enough, could prevent your trip from going ahead. So check the latest volcano news prior to making your reservations.
1. According to this article, why are you more likely to see the northern lights in the winter?
A. They move from rural areas to cities.
B. The weather is more stable at that time.
C. They’re a special feature of many festivals.
D. The sky is dark for longer periods then.
2. According to the article, how do visitors to Iceland have fun in the winter?
A. They learn how to ski down the mountains.
B. They photograph famous historic sites..
C. They explore the countryside in well made vehicles..
D. They spend a week at one of the seaside resorts.
3. What is true about the volcanoes of Iceland?
A. The majority of them are quiet.
B. Their age hasn’t been determined.
C. All but one of them are extinct.
D. Citizens aren’t affected by them.
4. What does this article explain?.
A. Some of Iceland’s urban cultural attractions.
B. A way t reduce the cost of a trip to Iceland.
C. Reasons for visiting Iceland in June and July.
D. The average price for a short tour of Iceland.
