Lost cities that have been found

The White City

In 2015, a team of explorers to Honduras in search of\"the Lost City of the Monke God\"led to the discovery of the White City. They found the ruins in the Mosquitia region of the Central American country which is known for poisonous snakes, vicious jaguars and deadly insects. It is believed that local people hid here when the Spanish conquerors(征服者) occupied their homeland in the16th century. Canopus and Heracleion

Modern researchers were teased by the ancient writings about the Egyptian cities Canopus and Heracleion- where Queen Cleopatra often visited. But the cities weren’t found until 1992, when a search in Alexandria waters found that the two cities had been flooded for centuries. Artifacts(史前器物) showedthat the cities once highly developed as a trade network, which helped researchers piece together more about the last queen of Egypt. Machu Picchu

A Yale professor discovered \"the Lost City in the Clouds\"in 1911. A combination of palaces, plazas, temples and homes, Machu Picchu displays the Inca Empire at the height of its rule. The city, which was abandoned in the 16th century for unknown reasons,was hidden by the local people from the Spanish conquerors for centuries keeping it so well preserved. Troy

The ancient city of Troy in homer's The Iliad was considered a fictional setting for his characters to run wild. But in 1871, explorations in northwestern Turkey exposed nine ancient cities layered (层叠) on top of each other, the earliest dating back to about5,000 years before. It was later determined that the sixth or seventh layer contained the lost city of Troy and that it was actually destroyed by an earthquake, not a wooden horse. 1.Why did people hide in the White City in the 16th century? A.To survive the war B.To search for a lost city. C.To protect their country.

D.To avoid dangerous animals

2.Which of the following was related to a royal family member? A.The White City B.Canopus and Heracleion C.Machu Picchu D.Troy

3.What can we learn about Troy? A.It was built by Homer. B.It consisted of nine cities C.It had a history of 5,000 years D.It was ruined by a natural disaster.

B

“They’re harming your brain.” “They’re ruining your eyes.” “They’re turning you into a violent person.” The words said publicly against video games are so common, but are these worries founded on actual science? Countless studies have offered different opinions on whether video games are bad for you. We’ve rounded up the most notable reports and studies below, so you can weigh up the evidence for yourself.

In 2013,psychologist(心理学家) Simone Kuhn studied the influences of spending long hours on video games on the brains of young adults and found that several areas became bigger than before. These areas are connected with highercognitive functions(认知功能), memory formation andfinemotor(精细运动) function.

Last year, psychologists said that video game players who favour violent games are more likely to be violent when offline. Dr. Mark Appelbaum of the American Psychological Association said that there was a relation between violent video game use and increases in violent behaviour.

Dr. Daphne Bavelier is an expert in the field of Brain & Cognitive Sciences. Bavelier presented the audience with a colour-word test, where non-gamers are easily puzzled by the test, and those who spend long periods playing on their computers are more likely to pass the test with flying colours.

“Actually, those video game players have many other advantages in terms of attention,” said Bavelier, “and one part of attention which is also improved for the better is our ability to follow the movements of objects.”

“So, in a sense, when we think about the influence of video games on the brain, it’s very similar to the influence of wine on the health. There are some very poor uses of wine. There are some very poor uses of video games. But when drunk in reasonable amounts, and at the right age, wine can be very good for health,” said

Bavelier.

4. What can be learned from Simone Kuhn’s study？ A. Video games make you happier. B. Video games make your brain grow. C. Video games play a key role in memory. D. Video games teach you how to learn fast.

5. What was Dr. Mark Appelbaum’s attitude towards video games？ A. He was against them. B. He was hopeful of them. C.He was in favour of them. D. He was uncertain about them. 6. Which of the following may Dr. Daphne Bavelier agree with？ A. Video games fix attention problems. B. Video games make kids do well in exams. C. Video games encourage violent behaviour. D. Video games help increase colour knowledge.

7. Why are the uses of wine mentioned in the last paragraph？ A. To remind people to avoid video games. B. To show the disadvantages of video games. C. To help people learn more about video games. D.To ask people to make good use of video games.

C

Last summer, I spent four months working in France, where the company I was working for put me up in a house that didn’t have Wi-Fi. I wasn’t looking forward to it.

I soon discovered, however, that living in a house without Wi-Fi was easier than I expected.

Contact between my friends and family was significantly reduced to the odd text message here and there. I couldn’t enjoy my usual web browsing on BBC iPlayer, social media sites, keeping up to date with the news, or even wanting to know the opening hours of shops in the new area I was in.

I didn’t, however, spend a full four months without connecting to a Wi-Fi network. It was only a five minute walk to the reception where I could connect for free and spend as much time online as I wanted to at my own leisure. It made me think , though , how unnecessary it can be , how unnecessarily we rely on it—how we perhaps rely on it too much. As a person, I was more sociable. I spent more time with my housemates instead of hiding

behind a computer screen. I did other things that I wouldn’t necessarily have done if I could have browsed the web at my leisure. I read more, I cooked meals for my friends, and I even tidied up more often. Dare I say it; I learned how to live without Wi-Fi. Dare I say it; I found it was easier than I had imagined. 8. What was the writer’s first feeling when finding her house had no Wi-Fi? A. Unexpected. B. Angry. C. Shocked. D. Depressed.

9. How did the writer keep in touch with her friends and family without Wi-Fi? A. By writing regularly. B. By text message. C. By video calls. D. By telegram. 10. What was the writer’s life like without Wi-Fi? A. Dull. B. Lonely. C. Active. D. Relaxing. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text?

A. A life without Wi-Fi B. Different views on the Internet C. The disadvantages of Wi-Fi D. How to use the Internet

Ivy League schools are considered to be the most prestigious of all colleges in the United States. These schools are primarily located in the Northeastern part of the country. There are eight total colleges that are considered to be Ivy League. These schools are Brown, Harvard, Cornell, Princeton, Dartmouth, Yale, and Columbia universities and the University of Pennsylvania. Of all institutions of higher learning, these elite schools are considered to be the most outstanding and the most sought-after in terms of acceptance and graduation.

The term “Ivy League” came about in 19 when the NCAA athletic conference for Division I was formed. At the time, the elitism of these schools was really due to their prestige in the realm of sports like basketball. Although the term “Ivy League” was not created until the 1950s, many of these schools were in existence as far back as 1636, when John Harvard became the first benefactor of Harvard University.

Although this group of elite schools is considered to be part of one big league of the elite, there have been plenty of internal rivalries over the years. The sports that these colleges play were so popular that some teams began playing games in New York City so spectators could come from far away and watch the games. The popularity of both the athletes who played and the college team rivalries brought in a good deal of attention to the schools as well as revenue from ticket sales. There have also been academic rivalries between schools. Mostly,

these rivalries are a matter of opinion in terms of which school has the most honor graduates, which schools offer the most prestigious scholarships, and what famous graduates have come from each school.

Each Ivy League college has its own unique accomplishments that make it important. All carry a certain reputation with them, and each school has programs that excel primarily in the medical and law fields, making them some of the most sought-after schools in the world. Their admission process is very selective, which helps the schools ensure that they only accept the best and brightest. Many famous people have graduated from Ivy League schools, including recent presidents George W. Bush, Bill Clinton, and Barack Obama. This prestige leads many to believe that these colleges are only for the wealthy and elite. Often, companies look for Ivy League graduates as potential employees, usually preferred by law firms, medical facilities, and large corporations. It has long beencovetedto have earned a degree from an Ivy League school. Today, the Ivy League schools are still excellent in both academia and in sports, and they have left a legacy of higher education with an exceptional track record and reputation to go along with them.

12. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage? A. Ivy League schools were initially famous for their reputation in sports. B. Ivy League schools didn’t come into existence until the 1950s. C. Ivy League schools do not compete with each other within the league.

D. Ivy League schools are most popular for their excellence in the medical and law fields. 13. Which of the following aspects is NOT mentioned in the passage? A. The history of the Ivy League B. The rivalry of the Ivy League

C. The accomplishments and cultural impacts of the Ivy League D. The future development of the Ivy League

14. Why do many people believe that Ivy League colleges are only for the wealthy and elite? A. Because they are the most sought-after schools in the world.

B. Because they have selective admission process to help ensure the quality of their students. C. Because many famous people have graduated from Ivy League schools. D. Because manycompanies look for Ivy League graduates as potential employees. 15. What does the underlined word “coveted” in the last paragraph probably mean? A. advocated B.Desired C. restricted D. sponsored

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项

Every animal sleeps, but the reason for this has remained foggy. When lab rats are not allowed to sleep, they die within a month.___16___

One idea is that sleep helps us strengthen new memories.___17___We know that, while awake, freshmemories are recorded by reinforcing (加强) connections between brain cells, but the memory processes that take place while we sleep have been unclear.

Support is growing for a theory that sleep evolved so that connections between neurons(神经元) in the braincan be weakened overnight, making room for fresh memories to form the next day. ___18___

Now we have the most direct evidence yet that he is right.___19___The synapses in the mice taken at the end of a period of sleep were 18 per cent smaller than those taken before sleep, showing that the connections between neurons weaken while sleeping.

If Tononi’s theory is right, it would explain why, when we miss a night’s, we find it harder the next day to concentrate and learn new information — our brains may have smaller room for new experiences.

Their research also suggests how we may build lasting memories over time even though the synapses become thinner. The team discovered that some synapses seem to be protected and stayed the same size.___20___“You keep what matters,” Tononi says.

A. We should also try to sleep well the night before.

B. It’s as if the brain is preserving its most important memories.

C. Similarly, when people go for a few days without sleeping, they get sick. D. The processes take place to stop our brains becoming loaded with memories. E. That’s why students do better in tests if they get a chance to sleep after learning. F. “Sleep is the price we pay for learning,” says Giulio Tononi, who developed the idea. G. Tononi’s team measured the size of these connections, or synapses, in the brains of 12 mice. 第二部分 语言运用（共两节，满分45分）

Growing up, I understood one thing about my dad: He knew everything. This was our relationship: I asked him questions and he told me the answers.

In my teen years, he taught me things I’d need to know to survive in the real world. When I moved out on my own, I called him usually when something broke into my apartment and I needed to know how to fix the toilet, the air-conditioner or the wall.

But then, eventually, I needed him less. For everything, I had Google. I don’t know when it happened, but when I called our conversations developed into six words. Me: “Hi, Dad”. Him: “Hi, sweets. Here’s Mom.” I loved my dad, of course, but I wondered at times if maybe he had already shared everything I needed to know.

Then, this past summer, I moved in with my parents for three weeks while my house was being repaired. They own a lake house, and Dad asked me to help him rebuild the bulkhead(隔板）at their dock(船坞）.

“How do you know how to build a bulkhead?”

“I spent a summer in college building them on the Jersey shore.”

“You did?” I thought I knew everything about my dad. I knew about the summer at the manufacturing plant that burned his hands raw, and even the tiny little kitchen, where he learned how to make the best pancake. But I never knew this.

“Yes. Now come up here and let me teach you how to use this circulars saw (圆锯).” All of a sudden, I realized that maybe it’s not that there’s nothing left to say. Maybe it’s just that I’ve spent my life asking him the wrong questions.
