高二英语单项填空中等难度题查看答案及解析

C　　 What historical site impresses you most? I’ve always been fascinated by the pyramids in Egypt．A few years ago I braved a long queue and climbed through a narrow passage to reach the main chamber deep inside one of them．Like millions of other tourists, I marveled (赞叹) at stone-walled rooms full of the magic of this ancient civilization．

But popularity might be the destruction of such archaeological treasures．Take Tutankhamun’s tomb in the Valley of the Kings for example．It lay untouched for more than 3,000 years until the British archaeologist Howard Carter uncovered it in 1922．Now more than 1,000 people a day walk through it．

But as more and more people visit, the temperature and humidity inside the tomb change．As a result, the beautifully decorated plaster is coming away from the rock．

In order to preserve its heritage, a replica (复制品) of the monument is being opened about 1 kilometer away from the actual burial site．Specialists have recorded every detail of Tutankhamun’s tomb and used the data to recreate it．

Adam Lowe from the organization behind the project says the copy is identical to the original．He believes visitors will want to become part of the force that protects it rather than a force that is leading to its destruction．So they won’t mind seeing a replica．

But for historian Tom Holland, a copy is still a copy．He believes that although preservation is important, there is something unique about places like Tutankhamun’s tomb．He says it was built by people who believed in the world of the spirits, the dead and the supernatural．You don’t have to believe in a god or gods to feel a place is consecrated (使圣化) and has a particular quality that can’t be reproduced．

What about you? Would you visit a replica of a monument rather than the original to help preserve it?

1.What may account for the destruction of some archaeological treasures like Tutankhamun’s tomb?

A．Climate change．

B．Copies．

C．Popularity．

D．Thieves．

2.What measures have been taken to preserve the heritage of Tutankhamun’s tomb?

A．Decorating the monument again．

B．Building a replica of the monument．

C．Limiting the number of visitors．

D．Moving the tomb away from the actual site．

3.The underlined word “identical” is closest in meaning to ________．

A．superior

B．Sensitive

C．Exposed

D．similar

4.Historian Tom Holland may hold the opinion that ________．

A．some unique ancient places can’t simply be replaced by replicas

B．visitors are advised to see replicas because preservation is first

C．ancient civilizations are consecrated and can’t be redecorated

D．visitors to ancient civilizations must believe in a god or gods

What Does the Length of Your Fingers Say About You?

Are you the peace-loving type or the ambitious go-getter? Your finger length might be a clue. Take a look at your fingers. Would you believe me if I told you that the length of your fingers in relation to one another can predict your personality? I know that it sounds like one of those silly tests you see on Facebook, but I have to admit that it is exactly correct for me. Here’s how it works.

Look at your three middle fingers of your hand. Is your index finger longer than your ring finger? Is your ring finger longer than your index finger? Or are the two of the same length? Find the situation that best matches your hand and see if what follows is an accurate description of your personality.

Longer ring finger: The Sweet Talker

If your ring finger is longer than your index finger, research shows that you’re likely a charming type, and you can probably talk yourself out of any situation. Others often find this personality type irresistible and will go to great lengths to help you. You’re more likely to take risks, and you’re good at problem-solving. People in this category make great engineers, soldiers and crossword-puzzle solvers.

Longer index finger: The (Over) Confident One　　

If your index finger is longer than your ring finger, chances are you are full of confidence—possibly even to the point of being over-confident and proud. You are not necessarily introverted (内向的), but you do enjoy time to yourself, especially when you’re trying to complete a project. You are a dream pursuer who can make things happen, but you may be shy when it comes to taking the first step in a relationship. You are also probably happy with what you have, but you’re always wishing for more.

Index and ring finger are of the same length: The Peacemaker

If your index finger and ring finger are roughly of the same length, you are likely to avoid conflict at all costs and seek to keep the peace in your relationships. You are well-organized, faithful and sympathetic. But deep down under all of that caring and peace-loving, you also have a hot-tempered side that can appear unexpectedly when you’re pushed too far. You will try your hardest to avoid a fight.

How well do these descriptions match your personality? I was surprised at the accuracy in my case, but I’m not going to tell you which one it was!

1.Which of the following hand could be an engineer’s hand?

A. 　　 B. 　　 C. 　　 D.

2.We can learn from the passage that the author ______.

A. is very charming and helpful　　 B. always tries hard to avoid a fight

C. often takes silly tests on Facebook　　 D. thinks the descriptions suit him well

3.What does the passage intend to tell us?

A. How accurate the description of the test is.

B. The length of fingers can reveal personality.

C. Why your fingers are not of the same length.

D. Personality is determined by your finger length.

4.Where can you probably find the text?

A. A popular magazine.　　 B. An official report.

C. A public advertisement.　　 D. A biology textbook.

The color of food might affect just how much you want to eat them，but what about the birds in your neighborhood？Would they care what color their food is？Try this out for a science fair project，or just to learn something new while making your local birds happy.

Begin this experiment with the question“What color of birdseed（鸟食），if any，will birds like the most?”, and then make a hypothesis (假设) based on your question. An example might be“Birds will eat more green birdseed than other colors of birdseed.”

You should get several bird feeders. Purchase birdseed that is very light in color. To color the birdseed, pour it into a bowl and then add food coloring that you can purchase from the store. Mix them up well with a spoon and continue to add coloring until all the seed is colored. You should sample at least a few colors and have one feeder with seed that has not been colored—this is called the control and it will give you something to compare your results to. Now just hang them up outside in the same location，and wait for your feathered friends to show up. This works best in an area where birds are used to feeding from a feeder—it can take birds over a week to find new feeders.

Observe your bird feeders whenever possible，and keep track of how much seed is in each bird feeder each day. A ruler is helpful for this. You might also want to take pictures of the feeders and keep track of what kind of birds visit each feeder. Over time，you should be able to see if one color of seed gets eaten more than others.

Once your experiment is done，you will be able to go back to your hypothesis and see if it is correct. Remember, it’s not bad if your hypothesis was wrong. The main thing is that you’ve learned something from your experiment，and hopefully you had some fun doing it.

1.What’s the purpose of this experiment?

A.To see what color birds like most.

B.To make local birds happy.

C.To see if the color of food affects birds.

D.To find how local birds feed themselves.

2.What’s the second step for this experiment?

A.Observing bird feeders. B.Raising a question.

C.Collecting all the data. D.Making a hypothesis.

3.The underlined words“feathered friends”in Paragraph 3 refer to　　　　 .

A.feeders B.birds

C.neighbors D.locals

4.What is the most important about the bird feeders?

A.They are filled with some water. B.They are placed in secret places.

C.They are painted in different colors. D.They are all the same size and type.
