【1】About five hundred years ago, an earthquake happened in a small village. Luckily for them, nothing was destroyed (毁坏) and no one was hurt. But a huge stone fell from a nearby mountain and stopped in the middle of the road.

  When the earthquake stopped, many people came to the road and saw the stone. Some of the strongest men tried to lift the stone out of the road. But they couldn’t move it. They tried to push it but failed. 【2】They tried to pull it with ropes (绳索) but nothing worked.

  “Well,” they said sadly, "【3】there' s nothing we can do about it. We' II have to change the way.”

At this time a boy about 12 years old said, "I think I can help you to move the stone away.”

“You?” they shouted. "What are you talking about?" The men all laughed at the boy. The next morning, some people came into the road. One of them shouted, "The stone is gone." 【4】 更多的人跑出去看发生了什么事。 It was true. The stone wasn't on the road any longer. It wasn't even near the road.

  The boy walked over to where the stone had been and said, "I buried(埋藏) it.” The people looked rather surprised. "You see,' he said, '1 dug a deep hole next to the stone and I dug a small incline (斜坡)up to the stone and the stone rolled(滚) down into the hole itself. Then I covered it with earth.”

The villagers shouted, “Clever boy! Clever boy!”

25、Now, cities large and small often have remains of earlier historic streets and sidewalk pavements（人行道）. Yet they often go unprotected even when they may be older than historic buildings that have enjoyed protection for tens of years.

There are many reasons to protect historic pavements — culture value, economics（经济） and public safety. Pavements played an important part in the modernization（现代化）of city environments in the 19th century.

Before the laying of pavement, streets of dirt caused many problems to people, especially in wet weather when they became muddy（泥泞的）, which brought much trouble to people’s life.

To solve the problem, cities experimented with different kinds of materials to balance durability（耐用性）, economic, sources of materials and noise considerations.

The earliest pavements in many cities were made of rounded stones. They were cheap and durable, but rough and noisy. Loose stone pavements were cheap and smooth, but not very durable. Wood also appeared in the 1850s as a popular choice — smooth, quiet and affordable, but not very durable.

In many cities and towns, brick（砖） streets are the only historic pavements that have survived. This fact covers up the truth of pavement experimentation between the 1850 s and 1920s, when a city could use up to a dozen different paving materials at the same time! Indeed, each city developed a unique “pavement identity” in the materials chosen and the way they were laid.

It is easy to think of the past when seeing historic pavements, as recalling “old world” city qualities. However, they are more similar to the early high buildings and parks-important city features that showed the modernization of the city. At a time when cities are becoming increasingly similar, such pavements also help define an important sense of place.

【1】What is the present situation of historic pavements?

A．Being highly valued as cultural buildings.

B．Failing to represent modern environments.

C．Being brought back to its former glory（辉煌）.

D．Failing to receive protection they should get.

【2】Why was the first pavement built in history?

A．To help develop the local economy.

B．To bring convenience to people’s life.

C．To develop a unique “pavement identity”.

D．To prevent earth from being washed away.

【3】What is mainly talked about in Paragraphs 4-6?

A．Different experiments on city identity.

B．Popularity of different paving materials.

C．Development of pavements of different materials.

D．Advantages and disadvantages of stone pavements.

【4】What’s the purpose of this passage?

A．To protect the historic pavements.

B．To tell ways of building pavements.

C．To show the modernization of the city.

D．To introduce the history of the pavements.

26、When I arrived, it was early morning and it was raining. I looked to the east—the sky was becoming grey. I got out of the car, went through a gate and walked along a dark path. There was nothing to see, but I knew it was there.

After about a mile, a stranger appeared beside the path. “Am I going the right way?” I asked. He knew where I was going. “Yes,” he replied,” you’ll get there in five minutes.” Finally, I came to some rocks and stopped. I looked carefully over them, but it was still too dark to see anything.

Suddenly, the rain stopped and the clouds cleared. The sun rose behind me and shone on the rocks. Far below me, the ground fell away and down to a river. I was looking across one of the wonders of the natural world—the Grand Canyon.

I looked down to the Colorado River, a silver stream nearly one mile below me. If you put the two tallest buildings in the world on top of each other at the bottom of the canyon, they still would not reach the top. Then I looked across to the other side of the canyon. It was about fifteen miles away, maybe more. Finally, I looked to my left and to my right, and on both sides the canyon went far away for more than 200 miles. The Grand Canyon was not just big. It was huge!

I remained by the canyon for about half an hour, and I asked myself, “Is the Grand Canyon the greatest wonder of the natural world?” I certainly know the answer.

【1】What does the word “it” in Paragraph 1 refer to?

A．The dark path.

B．The gate.

C．The car.

D．The Grand Canyon.

【2】Why was there nothing to see?

A．Because there was nothing.

B．Because it was in the morning.

C．Because it was raining.

D．Because it was too dark.

【3】What is the writer’s purpose in writing this passage?

A．To give facts about the natural world.

B．To say how he feels about the natural world.

C．To tell an interesting story about the Grand Canyon.

D．To attract people to visit the Grand Canyon.
