三：阅读理解
Before Nicholas Clapp got there, he had half hoped he might run into some of Ubar’s ruins sticking out of the sand. But finding the city wasn’t that easy. During the summer of 1991, he and his 40 helpers dug at 35 different spots. The only things they found were ground spiders, giant ticks, and deadly snakes.
Just before Thanksgiving says clap, “We were within a whisker of total failure.”
Then Clapp’s team looked at the high-tech maps again and saw something surprising. Many of the caravan routes(沙漠商队路线) on the high-tech map came together on the same spot marked “Omani Markerplace” on Ptolomy’s map. Two maps, made almost 2,000 years apart, pointed the team toward the same area!
In December 1991, Clapp arrived at the spot where, according to the maps, the caravans met. Clapp had a handheld instrument that could detect objects below the ground. It showed ruins under the sand! He and his team started digging, trying not to get their hopes up. And then they found it! A tower buried in the sand. They slowly unearthed a giant, eight-sided fortrese(堡垒). It had nine towers and many rooms. People had lived in this fortress 2,000 years ago. Outside its walls the crew had found buried remains of nearly 40 campsites. They seemed to be camping areas for traders.
More digging found shards, of pieces of pottery from the ancient empires of Rome , Greece, China, Egypt, and Syria. Diggers and scientists agree that people were on the site for about 5,00 years. Clap and his team were excited as they continued to uncover more pieces of the past that seemed to prove that it was the lost city of Ubar.
“We started with this hopeless myth and then found seeds of truth,”says Clapp, “then finally found the reality behind the myth,”But is this unearthed site really the once-great Ubar? Experts aren’t totally persuaded.
Donald Whitcomb is an archeologist(考古学家) at the University of Chicago., He doubts that Clapp really discovered Ubar, “There’s probably a grain of truth to this myth,” he says. “But Ubar is described as a place with walls all made of gold, and rubies and emeralds. ” No gold or precious stones have been found by Clapp.
“I’m not sure whether they discovered Ubar because I’m not sure if Ubar really existed, ” Whitcomb says.
1. Which of the following statements is true according to the reading?
A.Ubar was an important ancient city which was buried under the sand.
B.Ubar was described as a city with towers.
C.Clapp found the spot marked “Omani Marketplace” on the high-tech maps.
D.Inside the fortress they found shards, ground spiders, giant ticks and deadly
snakes.
2. The following statements are true according to the reading Except that _________.
A. Clapp made this discovery with the help of caravan routes on the maps.
A.Clapp made this discovery with the help of some high technology.
B.Clapp was not sure that he had found Ubar.
C.Donald Whitcomb was not sure if clap had found Ubar.
3. Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined part(in paragraph 2)?
A.We were ready for any failure.
B.We were on the point of giving up hope.
C.We would never stop digging in spite of some difficulty.
D.We decided that we had failed to find Ubar.
4. It can be inferred form the reading that Nicholas Clapp is __________.
A. a person of courage
B. a person of determination
C. a very young person
D. a person who is good for nothing

I’m walking on a path in the forest in the Central African Republic. Unexpectedly, I’m face-to-face with the gorilla, who begins screaming at 2 top of her lungs. That makes her baby scream, and then a 400-pound male appears. He screams the 3 (loud) of all. The noise shakes the trees as the male beats his chest and charges toward me. I quickly lower myself, ducking my head to avoid 4 (look) directly into his eyes so he doesn’t feel 5 (challenge). My name is Mireya Mayor. I’m a 6 (science) who studies animals such as apes and monkeys. I was searching 7 these three western lowland gorillas I’d been observing. No one had seen them for hours, and my colleagues and I were worried. When the gorillas and I frightened each other, I was just glad to find 8 (they) alive. True to a gorilla’s unaggressive nature, the huge animal 9 (mean) me no real harm. He was just saying: “I’m king of this forest, and here is your reminder!” Once his message was delivered, he allowed me 10 (stay) and watch. 1.____________ 2.____________ 3.____________ 4.____________ 5.____________ 6.____________ 7.____________ 8.____________ 9.____________ 10.____________ 二．（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分）(2018年6月浙江卷) Few people I know seem to have much desire or time to cook. Making Chinese 1 (dish) is seen as especially troublesome. Many westerners 2 come to China cook much less than in their own countries once they realize how cheap 3 can be to eat out. I still remember 4 (visit) a friend who’d lived here for five years and I 5 (shock) when I learnt she hadn’t cooked once in all that time. While regularly eating out seems to 6 (become) common for many young people in recent years, it’s not without a cost. The obvious one is money; eating out once or twice a week may be 7 (afford) but doing this most days adds up. There could be an even 8 (high) cost on your health. Researchers have found that there is a direct link between the increase in food eaten outside the home and the rise in 9 (weigh) problems. If you are not going to suffer this problem, then I suggest that the next time you go to your mum’s home 10 dinner, get a few cooking tips from her. Cooking food can be fun. You might also begin to notice the effects not only on your health but in your pocket. 1.____________ 2.____________ 3.____________ 4.____________ 5.____________ 6.____________ 7.____________ 8.____________ 9.____________ 10.____________

A Famous centenarians (百岁老人) still active in arts, science are in no mood to retire. "Those who stand still, die," is one of Oliveira's favorite phrases. He knows from experience what it means, as the Portuguese film director has reached the age of 102 and is still active in his profession. Every year, Oliveira shoots a film and is currently working on his next project. "You have to work, work, work in order to forget that death is not far away," he said. When asked about his age, Oliveira said with some humility: "It's down to mother nature. It gave to me what it took from others." Being both mentally and physically fit in old age is partly a matter of luck, but it also has something to do with character. Not every white-haired person is wise and social skills, openness and the ability to train the brain are essential for senior citizens. Along with the architect Oscar Niemeyer (103), Nobel laureate Montalcini (101) and director Kurt Maetzig (100), Oliveira is one of those people of whom it would be very wrong to think as members of a listless elderly generation. Another master in his profession is the architect Oscar Niemeyer. The 103-year-old Brazilian is best known for his futuristic-looking（未来派的）buildings in Brasilia, but he also speaks out on behalf of the poor. "The role of the architect is to struggle for a better world where we can develop a form of architecture that serves everyone and not just a privileged few," said Niemeyer recently. He spends almost every day working in his office in Copacabana, and even when he falls ill he keeps working on ideas: After a gallbladder (胆囊) operation he composed a samba tune (桑巴舞曲) in the clinic. Another man who could sing a song about age is 107-year-old Heesters. The Dutch-born opera singer spent most of his life performing in Germany, where he still works. Recently Heesters said: "I want to be at least 108-years-old." He also plans to keep performing. "Should I just sit at home and wait until they come and pick me up?" Heesters has not given up trying to add to his tally of awards and is looking for a "good stage role". Italian scientist Rita Levi-Montalcini, who is 101-year-old and is still active in medical science, has described the force that keeps driving her on: "Progress is created through imperfection." In 1986 she and her lab colleague were awarded the Nobel Prize for Medicine for their work on nerve growth factor. She's convinced that humans grow on challenges.
