In ancient China, during the Warring States Period, the State of Qin was not as prosperous as other states. Shang Yang, a far-sighted statesman, decided to change this situation. He planned to implement a series of measures to strengthen the state, but he knew that winning the trust of the people was important.
One day, Shang Yang had a wooden pole placed at the south gate of the capital. He then declared (宣布) in a loud voice, “Whoever can move this pole to the north gate will be rewarded with 10 pieces of gold.” The crowd was surprised. They thought, “Such an easy task for such a large reward This must be a joke.” So, no one stepped forward.
Not discouraged, Shang Yang raised the reward to 50 pieces of gold. This time, a brave man decided to give it a try. He carried the pole to the north gate without much effort. True to his word, Shang Yang immediately gave the man 50 pieces of gold.
This thing spread quickly all over the state. People came to know that the government kept its word. After that, when Shang Yang brought in his changes, people fully supported him.

Finding and Losing Troy
Was Troy a real place or just a story For years, many people thought it was just a myth (神话). But a German named Heinrich Schliemann believed it was real. His strong belief helped him make some very important discoveries.
As a boy, Schliemann loved reading. His favorite book was The Iliad, a book about the great war at Troy. The brave heroes and strong walls in the story interested him deeply. He promised himself that one day he would find the lost city of Troy.
However, life first took him in a different direction. He became a successful businessman, traveled to many different places around the world, learned several languages, and made a lot of money.
In his late forties, he finally had enough money to follow his childhood dream. He traveled through Greece and Turkey to search for Troy. Hisarlik, an ancient Turkish site, caught his eye.
In 1871, he started digging at Hisarlik with a team of local workers. He soon became impatient with the slow work. To dig faster, he used dynamite. This sped up the excavation (挖掘) but also caused serious damage to
the site.
Piece by piece, they uncovered weapons (武器), pottery (陶器) and many other ancient objects. These findings showed that Hisarlik had a history of over 5,000 years. It had been rebuilt many times. Schliemann believed one of these lost cities was Troy.
His discovery made him famous around the world. But not all historians think highly of him. Most of them thought his decision to use dynamite destroyed important parts of the ancient site forever.
16．What is the passage mainly about
A．A man finding a lost city. B．The story of the Trojan War.
C．How to learn languages. 17．Why did Schliemann want to find Troy D．A trip to Turkey and Greece.
A．He read about it in a book. B．His teacher told him to.
C．He saw it in a movie. D．His parents asked him.
18．What did “dynamite” do according to the passage
A．It made the story true. B．It made the digging quick.
C．It helped protect things well. D．It didn’t help find weapons and pottery.
19．How do most of the historians feel about Schliemann
A．They think highly of him. B．They do not know him.
C．They feel happy for his discoveries. 20．What can we learn from this story D．They are angry with his method.
A．Making money is always good. B．Using fast methods is always right.
C．Sometimes a good finding has a bad side. D．Old stories are important and interesting.
C
In 1974, when some Chinese farmers dug a well near the city of Xi’an, Shaanxi Province, they discovered something amazing. The farmers dug into an underground room. It was a part of a huge tomb (墓穴). It turned out that the tomb belonged to the first emperor of China, Qin Shi Huang. It is said that the emperor was afraid of death and spent much of his later life looking for a way to live forever. For this reason, some experts (专家) believe that he had the tomb built to protect him after death.
Qin Shi Huang’s tomb looks like his real-life empire (王国) did, except that it is all underground. People found many life-sized soldiers in the tomb. The soldiers are terracotta soldiers (兵马俑). Terracotta is the kind of baked clay (黏土) that the soldiers were made from. This explains why the famous archaeological site (考古遗址) is sometimes called the Terracotta Soldiers. The soldiers all wear different clothes and have different faces. This makes them look like fossils (化石) of real people. Some of them ride on horses, and some of them are in carts pulled by horses. Even the kinds of the horses are different.
As archaeologists (考古学家) point out, what is really important is that its more than six thousand soldiers are all facing east and are all ready for battle. It is because some of the soldiers have drawn crossbows (弩) and swords, which amazingly, are still shiny and sharp today. Experts believe that the reason the soldiers are facing east is because Qin Shi Huang’s enemies in life came from that direction. The terracotta soldiers, then, were built by the emperor to protect him in his tomb after he was dead.
These warriors embody imperial power and craftsmen’s artistry. As the symbol of the emperor’s rule, over 6,000 life-sized soldiers show his control over the army and kingdom. Meanwhile, every detail shows the craftsmen’s talent: the soldiers’ armor (铠甲) has realistic military designs and their facial expressions carry artistic beauty.
21．According to the passage, what might be the emperor’s purpose to build the tomb
A．To build an underground city.
B．To show his power and wealth.
C．To keep himself safe after he was dead.
D．To prove he was not afraid of death.
22．According to the passage, what makes the soldiers look like fossils of real people
A．They are riding horses.
B．They are ready for battle.
C．They are made from terracotta.
D．They wear different clothes and have different faces.
23．What can we know about the soldiers being ready for battle
A．Not all armies in Ancient China carried swords and crossbows into battle.
B．The drawn crossbows and swords make the soldiers look ready for battle.
C．They are ready for battles against the emperor’s enemies from the west.
D．These soldiers were just recently discovered in the tomb.
24．What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 4 mean
A．The warriors stand for the emperor’s power and craftsmen’s talent.
B．The emperor used the warriors to show off power and teach craftsmen military art.
C．The craftsmen learned military skills from the warriors to create better art.
D．The warriors get power from the emperor and help craftsmen improve skills.
25．What is the passage mainly about
A．The first empire in China.
B．The death of an emperor.
C．The tomb of Qin Shi Huang.
D．The armies of Qin Shi Huang.

Cao Chong was the son of Cao Cao. One day, Sun Quan sent Cao Cao a present. It was a huge elephant.
Cao Cao wanted to find out the weight of the elephant, but there was not a scale big enough to weigh it.
“Can anyone tell me how to weigh it without killing it ” he asked.
Cao Chong said to his father, “I can weigh the elephant. Let me have a try.”
First, Cao Chong asked some soldiers to lead the elephant onto a boat. When the boat stopped sinking further, he drew a line on the side of the boat to mark how low it went. Then he made some soldiers take the elephant off the boat, and asked them to fill the boat with rocks until the water reached the line. Finally, Cao Chong weighed the rocks and added up the weight of all the rocks together.
“This is the weight of the elephant,” said Cao Chong. Cao Cao was very happy with his son. “My son is really clever,” he said. Everyone present praised Cao Chong for his smart idea, which showed that wisdom can solve even the trickiest problems.
