Archaeology as a profession faces two major problems. It is the poorest of the poor. Only small sums are available for excavating(挖掘)and even less is available

for publishing the results and preserving the sites once excavated. Yet archaeologists deal with priceless objects every day. Besides, there is the problem of unlawful excavation, resulting in museum-quality pieces being sold to businessmen at the highest price..

I would like to make a suggestion that would at once provide money for archaeology and reduce the amount of diggings against law. You might say that professionals excavate to get knowledge, not money. Moreover, ancient artifacts(古器

物) are part of our global cultural heritage(遗产), which should be there for all to appreciate, not sold at the highest price. I agree. Sell nothing that has scientific value. But, you might reply, everything that comes out of the ground has scientific value. Here,

we disagree. In theory, you may be correct in saying that every artifact has hidden scientific value.

People can not help appreciate every unearthed treasure but there is not enough money even to put the finds in good order; as a result, they cannot be found again and become as inaccessible as if they had never been discovered. Indeed, with the help of the Internet, sold artifacts could be more reachable than are the pieces stored in museum basements. Before sale, each could be photographed and the list of the purchasers could be maintained on the computer. A purchaser could even be required to agree to return the piece if it should become needed for scientific purposes.

1.What’s the problems that archaeology as a profession has to face?

A. Money and unlawful excavation        B. Effectively duplicates.

C. Scientific purposes.                          D. Excavation law.

2.To let most people enjoy ancient artifacts, the practical way could be_______.

A. putting them in the museum          B. having sold artifacts returned

C. making use of the Internet           D. solving the money problem

3.Which of the following four suggestions about archaeology is from the author?

A. No selling of any unearthed ancient artifacts.

B. Some money should be raised for the purpose.

C. Selling some unearthed ancient artifacts and having them returned when needed.

D. Ancient artifacts, our global cultural heritage, should be evenly shared by us all.

Not long ago, people could only buy organic food in small shops. Today it is common in most major supermarkets. The reason for the increase is that more and more people are demanding food grown without chemicals. Since the 1990s, organic farm production has gone up 20 percent every year. This pattern is expected to continue around the globe.

Australia leads the world in land used for organic agriculture. It has four times as much land devoted to organic farming as all of Asia. However, most of the land is not very fertile, and it only produces a modest amount of food. Argentina is a distant second, followed by Brazil, the United States and China. In Africa, only a very small amount of land is registered for organic farming. That does not mean Africa relies on chemicals. In fact, many farmers do not use chemicals because they cannot afford them. Yet there are no programs for these farmers to prove they do not use chemicals. Without these programs their food can never be approved organic.

India has had the most dramatic recent increase in organic farming. Like many other countries, India sees continual growth in organic food sales around the world. This, of course, leads to growth in profits. Sales of organic food were more than doubled from 2000 to 2005. Like India, many countries are trying to increase commercial organic farming to get a share of the sales. This has led to criticism. Some people believe that organic farming should not just be about making money. They think the goal is to help the environment. Others say organic farming will not continue if it is not profitable. They say that people should be able to make money while providing food that is healthy to mankind.

1.What is the passage mainly about?

A. Countries all want to make money from organic farming.

B. Organic food has become much more common.

C. People do not want to eat food with chemicals in it.

D. Farming organically is growing around the world.

2.Why do people want to increase organic farming?

A. Organic food is good for the Earth and the human beings.

B. More and more people demand chemicals to grow food.

C. Profits from organic farming help make approval programs.

D. There are fewer chemicals available to the human beings.

3.From the passage, it can be said that __________.

A. China and India have the same amount of organic farmland

B. India uses the least land to farm organically

C. the US is the fourth largest organic farming country

D. Brazil uses less land to farm organically than China

4.It can be inferred from the passage that ________.

A. there will be fewer organic farms if demand for organic food goes down

B. people who eat food with chemicals have shorter lifespan

C. India will soon become the largest grower of organic food

D. more countries will farm organically as the environment gets worse

If you are in a town in a western country, you'll often see people walking with their dogs. It is still true that a dog is the most useful animal in the world. But the reason why one keeps a dog has changed Once upon a time, a man met a dog and wanted it to help him in the fight against other animals, and he found that the dog listened to him and did what he told him to. Later people used dogs for the hunting other animals, and the dogs didn't eat what they got until their master agreed. So dogs were used for driving sheep and guarding chicks. But now the people in the towns and cities do not need dogs to fight other animals. Of course they keep them to frighten thieves, but the most important reason is that people feel lonely in the city.

高二英语单项填空简单题查看答案及解析

It is hard to imagine that such a small country, the size of Indiana with the population of Alaska, tucked in the Himalaya Mountains, accessible only by two airplanes, is the “Happiest Country’’ in the world and has one of the fastest growing GDP’S in the world. This country is Bhutan, “Land of the Thunder Dragon”, which is located in South Asia and is encompassed by India, China, and Nepal.

Bhutan is the last standing Buddhist Kingdom in the World and, until recently, has preserved much of their culture since the l7th century by avoiding globalization and staying isolated from the world. Internet, television, and western dress were banned from the country up until ten years ago. Over the past ten years globalization has begun to change in Bhutan, but things remain perfectly balanced.

Bhutan is the only country in the world that has a ‘GNH’, which refers to “Gross National Happiness.’’The process of measuring GNH began when Bhutan opened up to globalization. It measures people’s quality of life, and makes sure that “material and spiritual development happen together.”Bhutan has done an amazing job of finding this balance. Bhutan has continually been ranked as the happiest country in all of Asia, and the eighth Happiest Country in the world according to Business Week. In 2007, Bhutan had the second fastest growing GDP in the world, at the same time as maintaining their environment and cultural identity.

In 2008,in Bhutan’s first democratic election,28-year-old Jigme KhesarNamgyel Wang Chuck was elected president of Bhutan. He promises to “maintain a stance (立场)of protection against the worst aspects of globalization, maintaining the ‘Gross National Happiness’.”But Jigme himself is no stranger to globalization. He attended high school at Phillips Academy and university at Wheaton College and then graduated from Oxford.

1.The underlined word “encompassed’’ in the first paragraph most probably means __________ .

A. covered B. surrounded

C. separated D. guarded

2.Why is Bhutan regarded as “the happiest country”?

A. Because it changes its policy and begins to open up.

B. Because it uses “GNH” to measure its achievement.

C. Because it stresses both material and spiritual development.

D. Because it has the second fastest growing GDP in the world.

3.What Can we infer from the last paragraph?

A. The election in Bhutan is far from satisfactory.

B. Globalization has influenced Bhutan’s religion.

C. Jigme’s educational background will cause distrust.

D. People in Bhutan will continue living a happy life.

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

A.  B.

C.  D.
