5、 to the field to check on the cattle while I played with Faye in the yard. The temperature suddenly dropped. I looked to the west and saw a huge black cloud of dust.

I screamed for Papa, hoping my voice would lead him back.The dirt and sand stung my skin like a thousa

7、nd bees. Although I was terrified, I refused toturn back. My dad was stranded and needed my help. Covering my face with one hand, I groped my way toward the truck and opened the door. First I tried turning the trucks lights on and off, hoping that Papa would see them flashing, but the sandstorm let

8、no light escape. Then I pushed the horn again and again, so Papa would hear it. I pushed until I had no more strength in my arms.Suddenly, Papas face appeared at the window. My heart leaped with surprise and relief. He opened the door and climbed onto the seat next to me. He then pulled me into his

9、arms and said, “Oh, Iris, you saved me!”Finally, the wind subsided and the dust began to settle. Dirt was piled up to the window on one side of the truck and halfway up the door on the other.

This passage connected Europe in the West with China in the East, and allowed the exchange of goods, technology, and ideas between the two civiliza

16、tions. Although merchants could make huge profits travelling the road, it was not without risk.The main Silk Road started in Changan (known today as Xian), the early Han capital. Travelers commencing their journey from this city could take a northern route that would take them across Chinas northwes

17、tern provinces. After this, they would face the Gobi Desert, arguably the greatest danger of the Silk Road.The Gobi Desert, the largest desert in Asia, consists mainly of rocky, hard earth. This feature made it easier for traders to travel across, compared to sandy deserts like the neighboring Takla

18、makan Desert. Like other deserts, the Gobi Desert is dry and hot, and therefore the biggest challenge travelers faced was obtaining enough water for themselves as well as for their camels.So, rest stops were created along the route, allowing travelers to rest, eat and drink. These places also promot

19、ed the exchange of goods, and even ideas, amongst the travelers who stopped there. Usually, the rest stops were placed within a days journey of each other. In this way, travelers could avoid spending too much time in the desert, which would make them targets for robbers, another danger of the Silk R

20、oad.Once through the Gobi Desert, travelers would continue their journey into Iran, Turkey, and finally Europe. Whilst this part of the journey may have been less dangerous, it is not entirely without its perils.28. The underlined word “it” in the first paragraph refers to .A. making huge profitsB.

23、 from different countries.31. What is the passage mainly about?A. The origins of the Silk Road.B. The benefits of the Silk Road.C. The difficulties faced by Silk Road travelers.D. The cultural exchanges among Silk Road travelers.DLets begin with the story: King Hiero contracts the ancient Greek poly

24、math Archimedes ( 阿基米德) to detect fraud in the manufacture of a golden crown. Archimedes accepts the challenge and, during a subsequent trip to the public baths, realizes that the more his body sinks into the water, the more water is displaced making the displaced water an exact measure of his volum

25、e.Realizing he has hit upon a method to determine whether the Kings crown was made of gold or silver, the young Greek leaps out of the bath and rushes home naked crying “Eureka! Eureka!” Or, translated: “Ive found it! Ive found it!”Too bad, however, Archimedes probably never uttered the phrase in th

26、at way.First and foremost, Archimedes himself never wrote about this episode, although he spent plenty of time detailing the laws of buoyancy ( 浮 力 ). The oldest authority for the naked-Archimedes eureka story is Vitruvius, a Roman writer, who included the tale in his introduction to his ninth book

27、of architecture. “Vitruvius may have gotten it wrong,” says Chris Schmitt, a mathematician at the University of Berlin and a self-described Archimedes fan. “The method attributed to Archimedes in the story works in theory so it sounds right, but when you actually try it, you find that the real world

28、 gets in the way.”In fact, Schmitt is one of a long line of scientists, including Galileo, who have read the account and thought, “That cant be right.” As Galileo wrote, Archimedes could have achieved a far more precise result using his own law of buoyancy and an accurate scale. In fact, the surface

29、 tension of water can make the volume of a light object like a crown immeasurable. “There may be some truth to it,” Schmitt adds. “Archimedes did measure the volume of things but the eureka moment was maybe due to his original discovery concerning buoyance, not to sitting in the bathtub and then run

30、ning through the streets naked.”Much like Newtons apple, the exclamation persists because of the enduring power of the story: a golden crown, a life in the balance, a naked mathematician. The suspect foundations of the eureka moment take nothing away from the words ability to uniquely and concisely

31、convey the flash of inspiration.32. According to the first paragraph, how would Archimedes measure the volume of the crown?A. He would weigh himself with and without the crown.B. He would weigh the crown first and then put it into water.C. He would go to the public baths wearing the crown on his hea

32、d.D. He would sink the crown into water and measure the water displaced.33. What did Galileo probably think of the naked-Archimedes eureka story?A. He believed the word “eureka” was said in another situation.B. He suspected Archimedes didnt run through the street naked.C. He doubted Archimedes carri

33、ed out the experiment independently.D. He thought Archimedes would not have used the method described.34. What can be inferred from the underlined sentence in the last paragraph?A. The word “eureka” is still widely used today.B. The word “eureka” is now a formal scientific term.C. Most people accept

34、 the authenticity of the original story.D. People are still inspired by the achievements of Archimedes.35. What is the purpose of this text?A. To introduce the famous scientist Archimedes.B. To examine the credibility of the eureka story.C. To explain how the word “eureka” was created.D. To urge peo

35、ple not to use the word “eureka” anymore.第二节 ( 共 5 小题; 每小题 2 分，满分 10 分 )根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Leonardo da Vinci and NatureIn the modern world, art and science are two very separate activities, but in Leonardos time they were closely connected. Science meant mathematics and medical

36、 studies. 36 Mathematics included practical work like surveying land for making maps as well as measuring the movements of the stars in the sky. An artist might need to measure the different parts of thebody. He could also use mathematics to place things in relationship to each other in a drawing or

37、 painting so the scene looked correct. 37 Mathematics was also connected to music because musical sounds have a fixed relationship with each other that can be described in numbers. 38 More than this, though, Leonardo believed that numbers were a part of all things in the world, including music, and

38、he said that “without them nothing can be done.”“Nature has kindly given us things everywhere to copy,” wrote Leonardo. In all his activities, Leonardo was trying to discover the rules that control nature. In his search for those rules, he looked very carefully at a lot of examples and details. Actu

39、al experience was more important to him than opinion, and he worked from facts to ideas. 39 His purpose was to examine the world so he could copy it in beautiful paintings and sculptures. He also wanted to learn from the clever solutions of nature. 40 His quick little sketches, often done while wand

40、ering outside, helped him to catch a movement or a shape. More careful drawings would be done at a desk with a pen and ruler. In July 2001, a small drawing by Leonardo was sold for $12 million. It was the most expensive drawing in the world.A. Leonardo was always drawing.B. How could these be connec

41、ted with art?C. Leonardos ideas were vastly ahead of his time.D. Mathematicians and doctors worked to discover the unknown.E. Above all, Leonardo wanted to understand how and why things worked.F. You will see a good example of such positioning in the painting of The Last Supper.G. Leonardo himself w
