24、
The Unexplained Mystery of Pyramid
The Pyramids in Egypt are really something special. We still don’t really know how the Egyptians built the largest pyramid at all, known as the Great Pyramid of Cheops (or Khufu), some 5,000 years ago. Remember, this was even before the invention of the wheel.
The most famous pyramids are the Egyptian pyramids — huge structures built of brick or stone, some of which are among the world’s largest constructions. The age of the pyramids reached its top at Giza in 2575-2150 B.C. In 2008, some 138 pyramids have been discovered in Egypt. The Great Pyramid of Giza is the largest in Egypt and one of the largest in the world. Until Lincoln Cathedral in England was finished in AD 1311, it was the tallest building in the world. The base is over 52,600 square meters in area. While pyramids are associated(关联的) with Egypt, the nation of Sudan has 220 extant pyramids, the most numerous in the world.
In the 1940s, a radio engineer named Karel Drbal claimed(声称) that small pyramids of a 1:1,000 scale as the Great Pyramid could sharpen knives. His explanation was that the pyramid shape focuses energy when precisely aligned (精确对齐) on the north-south axis (轴), which can renew steel.
Though the claims of Drbal and others, there is no scientific evidence that Pyramids have power. It is a cut and dry myth, probably driven by the nature of pyramids and their ancient, unexplained mysteries.
As the neurologist (神经学家) Terence Hines wrote: “People became quite crazy about Pyramid Power in the world of pseudoscience for a time in the mid-1970s. Actually, the idea was that the pyramidal shape itself was magical and filled with a mysterious energy and power.”
【1】When did the pyramids develop the best?
A.in 2575-2150 B.C B.In 2008 C.in AD 1311
【2】Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage?
A.The Great Pyramid of Giza is the tallest building in the world before AD 1311.
B.Sudan has the more extant pyramids than any other country in the world.
C.Lincoln Cathedral was built earlier than The Great Pyramid of Giza.
【3】What does the underline word evidence mean in the passage?
A.方法 B.证据 C.痕迹
【4】According to Karel Drbal __________.
A.the small pyramids of a 1:1,000 scale as the Great Pyramid are very sharp. ‘
B.the small pyramids of a 1:1,000 scale as the Great Pyramid can renew steel.
C.the Great Pyramid of a 1:1,000 scale as the small Pyramid could sharpen knives.
【5】__________ can be inferred (推断) from the passage.
A.Pyramids have magic
B.Pyramids are mysteries
C.Pyramids belong to Egypt
25、Recycled Orchestra (再生乐团)
Cateura, Paraguay, is not a town, really. It’s next to a landfill where, every day, about 3 million pounds of rubbish are left. Cateura doesn’t have much to offer its local people, and there’s very little opportunity for the children here.
Favio Chavez wanted to change that. “I went to work in Cateura as an environmental engineer,” Chavez says. “I saw that there were a lot of children, and I had the idea to teach them music in my free time.” He began giving lessons with donated (捐赠的) instruments. The classes became so popular that the instruments quickly ran out. So, he asked Cola to use the neighbourhood’s only thing, rubbish, to create new ones.
Cola found the broken shell of a violin in the landfill and decided to restore (修复) it. Then he decided to make other instruments made from recycled materials. Violins were made from cans, wooden spoons and forks. Cellos were made from large oil drums. Trumpets were made from bottle tops and old pipes. Everything came from the landfill. And so, the Recycled Orchestra was born.
The orchestra’s first concert was held for the proud parents of its members. But word spread about these talented musicians. Soon, they performed around Paraguay, and later, they travelled to Brazil for a concert. Before long, their music was being played around the world.
“The orchestra has changed some members’ lives,” says violinist Ada Rios. “When I play the violin I feel like I am somewhere beautiful else.” Rio s now teaches other children how to play, and she hopes to be a violin teacher.
Chavez doesn’t think that music is the answer to all the problems facing Cateura’s young people. But he knows that the music lets children experience something special. It’s motivating (激励) them to imagine life beyond Cateura. “The kids playing in the Recycled Orchestra are creating something out of nothing,” Chavez says. There’s a saying that “One person’s rubbish is another’s treasure”, and the Recycled Orchestra proves that it’s true.
【1】Why did Chavez ask Cola to create new instruments?
A.Because the children broke the old ones.
B.Because the old ones ran out too quickly.
C.Because the new ones were much more popular.
D.Because the children wanted to play the new ones.
【2】Who did the orchestra first perform for?
A.Parents of the orchestra’s members.
B.Teacher Chavez.
C.People around Paraguay.
D.Talented musicians in Brazil.
【3】How did the Recycled Orchestra help the children in Cateura?
A.They moved from their old town.
B.They got support from musicians.
C.They restored the old instruments.
D.They created the new from nothing.
26、Wilma Rudolph is one of the greatest female sprinters (短跑运动员) in Olympic history.
