26、 From December 1936 to March 1937, three archaeological(考古学的)diggings were earned out in the suburbs of Hangzhou, where loads of black ceramics and stoneware were brought to light.
Inspired by these relies(遗迹), an archaeology lover named Shi Xingeng, who came from West Lake Museum in Hangzhou, wrote several detailed reports on the diggings. However, he had to put his work aside when China started to fall into Japan's military aggression. He joined the resistance movement against Japanese invasion and died of disease in 1939. What passed away along with him during the war were many of Liangzhu's precious relics.
Fortunately, his reports were finally published in Shanghai in 1938, which caught considerable attention of archaeological circles. In 1959, the name Liangzhu Culture was given to the independent regional culture by archaeologist Xia Nai. It represented an earlier civilization between 3,300 and 2,200 B.C that had remained unknown to historians. It is commonly believed that the earliest known Chinese written language dates back to more than 3.000 years ago, when oracle bone script(甲骨文)appeared in Shang Dynasty. But Liangzhu Culture might provide evidence of a written language that appeared in China at least 1,000 years earlier.
In 2007, Liangzhu Ancient City was reported to be discovered in Hangzhou, where archaeological diggings revealed a large and early walled city in Chinese history. There were man-made hills and streams in the city area, which were very likely part of the early designed urban landscape. To protect the urban space which was formed by waterways and entrances both inside and outside the city, a flood control system was connected to the river networks and 11 dams. In the fields outside the wall, archaeologists discovered ruins of the residences, tombs, workshops, and docks with wooden boats.
【1】What can we learn about Liangzhu Culture?
A.The relic site was well preserved.
B.Many relics were lost in the war.
C.It was discovered in 1939.
D.It named by Shi Xingeng.
【2】What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?
A.The history of Liangzhu Culture.
B.The discover of Liangzhu Culture.
C.The significance of Liangzhu Culture.
D.The development of Liangzhu Culture.
【3】What do we know about Liangzhu Ancient City?
A.It was a well-designed city.
B.It was the largest city in Chinese history.
C.There were some ruins left by flood.
D.There were no hills or streams in the city.
【4】Where is the passage most probably taken from?
A.A travel brochure.
B.A history lecture.
C.A science report.
D.A culture website.
27、The three men sat in the truck, unaware of the hot Nevada sun. Their attention was focused on a fourth man, middle-aged, tall slender, and rather well dressed for the desert-like land of the Carson River Valley. He walked purposefully over the sandy soil, systematically covering the area of a gentle rise. In his outstretched hands was a Y-shaped tree branch, “I feel silly about this,” one of the men in the truck said. “What he’s doing is contrary to all my beliefs.”
“Just you wait,” one of the other two told him. “then you won’t feel so silly any more.”
At length, the man with the branch stopped his walking. The stick he carried by the two ends of the Y no longer pointed toward the sky. Instead, it was pointing to the ground with a definite swinging motion.
“That’s it,” one of the men in the truck called. He jumped over the side and ran toward the man with the stick. Within minutes, a stake (桩) had been driven into the ground at the point where the forked stick was pointing. Early the next morning, a drilling rig (钻机) lowered its bit into the earth at the same point and mechanical digging began. Less than twenty feet down, the drill stuck something the man who said he felt silly had been seeking for months: water.
It had been an uncommonly dry summer, even for that part of Nevada. One well had gone dry, and livestock were thirsty. Previous attempts at well drilling had failed. Government geologists and soil engineers had gone over the area with maps, testing equipment, and sounding device. The best they could accomplish for the farmer was a gloomy series of dry holes. All the farmer had to show for his faith in men of science was a considerable drilling bill and a thirsty herd.
He had felt silly because he had been pushed by desperation into listening to some of his neighbors who suggested he try a water witch: the man with the forked stick.
After the well was completed and plenty water flowed forth, the farmer smiled nervously as he paid the water witch his twenty-five dollar fee. “It seems so crazy to be doing this,” he said. Perhaps part of the craziness came because the farmer was a university graduate, a teacher of science at a nearby high school. However, even odder was the water witch’s request for anonymity (匿名),“ I don’t mind you telling people you had searched for water through the use of a divining rod (占卜杖),” the water witch had said, “but I’ll be grateful to you if you don’t mention my name in any way that gets into print. I don’t think my boss would like it.”
【1】The farmer occasionally expressed the feeling that _______.
A.geologists would be able to do a better job
B.he was foolish to hire a witch to find water
C.he firmly believed in water witching
D.the water witch’s fee was too high
【2】According to the passage, the farmer’s faith in men of science _______.
A.brought him innumerable benefits
B.helped him to overcome difficulties
C.enabled him to maintain his livestock
D.made him waste a lot of money
【3】Before leaving, the water witch asked the farmer _______.
A.not to reveal his name
B.to pay more for his service
C.to hire him for any future well drilling
D.not to tell people how he searched for water
