A
In Mexico, Luke and a team of scientists discovered a lost Maya city. It was covered by thick forests for centuries. The Mayans lived there over 1,000 years ago. They were good at farming, writing, maths and building amazing stone buildings like temples and palaces.
▲ The main reason was that most work had to be done by hand to make a discovery. Scientists had to cut down overgrown plants as they walked through the forest. It was hard and took lots of time.
Later, a technology, LiDAR, makes it possible for scientists to discover hidden ancient villages more easily. To use LiDAR, scientists fly a tiny flying machine over an area. The machine sends out thousands of laser beams (激光束). By recording how long it takes for the beams to return to the machine, scientists can make a 3D map of the ground below. This way, scientists can further study the remains long before they finally enter them.
However, Luke’s team was not able to use LiDAR because it was too expensive. Luckily, Luke found a 2013 LiDAR map online made by other researchers. When Luke and his team studied the information, they were surprised to find thousands of Mayan structures (建筑) which made a large city. The city even had a field for ancient Mayan ball games.
Luke believes that their discovery means there is a lot more to discover in that area. They plan to enter the newly discovered city to continue their research. “Maya cities are completely different from modern ones,” Luke said. “Studying them can give us ideas to make our cities better.”
( )1. Which of the following can be put in ▲ in Paragraph 2
A. When did Luke make this important discovery
B. Why did the city remain undiscovered for so long
C. How long did it take scientists to discover the city
D. What difficulties did scientists have during the process
( )2. What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 3 refer to
A. 3D maps. B. Thick forests.
C. Laser lights. D. Ancient villages.
( )3. How did Luke and his team discover the Maya city
A. With the help of some photos.
B. By entering the forest in person.
C. With the help of a LiDAR map.
D. By making a 3D map with a machine.
( )4. What does Luke talk about in the last paragraph
A. The value of this discovery.
B. The abilities of his team.
C. The customs of ancient people.
D. The difficulties they faced.
( )5. What’s the best title for the passage
A. More Technologies for Research
B. Hidden Maya City Found
C. Meet the Powerful Ancient Maya
D. New Technology Discovered
B
The Zeng Houyi Chime Bells were found from the Zeng Houyi Tomb in Suizhou, Hubei Province in 1978. They are historically important treasure of China.
The Zeng Houyi Chime Bells are hung (悬挂) at three levels and are divided into (划分为) eight groups. There are 19 bells in three groups at the top level, 33 bells in three groups at the middle level and 12 bells in two groups at the bottom level. In addition, there is a single and much larger bell used to change pitch (音高). The bells in each row are different from one another in shape and size.
The Zeng Houyi Chime Bells are hung on two sets of wood racks (架子). One rack is 7.48 meters long and 2.65 meters wide. The other rack is 3.35 meters long and 2.73 meters wide. The two racks are perpendicular to each other, and they make an angle of ninety degrees.
The Zeng Houyi Chime Bells weigh a total of 5 tons. The biggest bell is 153.4 cm in height and 203.6 kg in weight while the smallest bell is 20.4 cm in height and 2.4 kg in weight.
Five musicians were needed to play the instrument in the past. These bells are sounded by striking. Because of their shapes, each bell could produce two different pitches—one if struck at the side; the other at the center. The whole set of chime bells is able to produce all the pitches of a modern piano.
There are more than 2,800 Chinese characters about music and the making of the instrument on the bells. Instruments of such a level were quite uncommon in the world at that time.
( )6. The number of the whole set of chime bells is ________.
A. 45. B. 52 C. 64 D. 65
( )7. Which picture shows the meaning of “perpendicular” in Paragraph 3
( )8. What is Paragraph 5 mainly about
A. Why the chime bells are struck.
B. How these bells were played in the past.
C. How many pitches each bell could produce.
D. How many musicians were needed to play the bells in the past.
( )9. Which of the following is TRUE about the the Zeng Houyi Chime Bells
A. They have a history of 46 years.
B. They were made in the same shape and size.
C. They can’t produce all the pitches of a modern instrument.
D. They need striking in different places to produce two different pitches.
( )10. What is the writer’s attitude (态度) to the Zeng Houyi Chime Bells
He is proud of them.
B. He dislikes them.
C. He doesn’t care about them.
D. He is worried about them.

四、The Great Wall is one of the greatest wonders in the world. My friends and I visited it in May this year. With the help of the tour guide, we took the bus there.
The Great Wall lies in northern China and is about 8,800km. It was built to protect the country from enemies during the Warring States period, which was about 2,500 years ago. Most of the Great Wall that can be seen today was built during the Ming Dynasty. It was made of stones and bricks. It is a very famous tourist attraction and attracts millions of visitors every year. People can climb up the Great Wall and enjoy the beautiful scenery. The Great Wall is not only a historical site, but also a symbol of China’s history and culture. We stayed there for 5 hours and we were very happy.

八、Good morning, everyone! Today, I’m happy to tell you about a great historical site—the Terracotta Army.
It is in Xi’an, Shaanxi Province. Local farmers found it by accident in 1974. It’s from the Qin Dynasty, more than 2,000 years ago. There are thousands of life-sized clay soldiers, horses and chariots here. Each soldier has a different face and stands in a different way.
These clay warriors were made to protect Emperor Qin Shi Huang after he died. From them, we can learn about how ancient Chinese soldiers lived, how they made things, and what clothes they wore. The bronze weapons they hold also show that ancient people had smart skills to make tools.
The Terracotta Army lets us feel like we’re walking into the past. It’s a wonderful way to know more about ancient Chinese people’s life and wisdom.
