They found the ruins in the Mosquitia region of the Central American country which is known for poisonous snakes，vicious jaguars and deadly insects. It is believed that local people hid here when the Spanish conquerors(征服者)occupied their homeland in the 16th century.Canopus and Heracleion   Modern researchers were teased by the ancient writings about the Egyptian cities Canopus and Heracleion where Queen Cleopatra often visited. But the cities weren't found until 1992，when a search in Alexandria waters found that the two cities had been flooded for centuries. Artifacts(史前器物)showed that the cities once highly developed as a trade network, which helped researchers piece together more about the last queen of Egypt.Machu Picchu   A Yale professor discovered “the Lost City in the Clouds” in 1911. A combination palaces, plazas，temples and homes, Machu Picchu displays the Inca Empire at the height of its rule. The city, which was abandoned in the 16th century for unknown reasons, was hidden by the local people from the Spanish conquerors for centuries， keeping it so well preserved.TroyThe ancient city of Troy in Homer's The Iliad was considered a fictional setting for his characters to run wild. But in 1871，explorations in northwestern Turkey exposed nine ancient cities layered(层叠)on top of each other, the earliest dating back to about 5，000 years before. It was later determined that the sixth or seventh layer contained the lost city of Troy and that it was actually destroyed by an earthquake，not a wooden horse.21. Why did people hide in the White City in the 16th century?A. To survive the war.B. To search for a lost city.C. To protect their country.D. To avoid dangerous animals.22. Which of the following was related to a royal family member?A. The White City.B. Canopus and Heracleion.C. Machu Picchu.D. Troy.23. What can we learn about Troy?A. It was built by Homer.B. It consisted of nine cities.C. It had a history of 5,000 years.D. It was ruined by a natural disaster.BMy motivation for starting our family tradition of reading in the car was purely selfish： I could not bear listening to A Sesame Street Christmas for another 10 hours. My three children had been addicted to this cassette on our previous summer's road trip.As I began to prepare for our next 500-mile car trip，I came across a book Jim Trelease's The Read Aloud Handbook. This could be the answer to my problem, I thought. So I put Roald Dahls James and the Giant Peach into my bag. When I began to read aloud the tale of the boy who escapes the bad guys by hiding inside a giant peach, my three kids argued and wrestled in their seats. But after several lines，they were attracted into the rhythm of the words and began to listen.We soon learned that the simple pleasure of listening to a well-written book makes the long miles pass more quickly. Sometimes the books we read became highlights of the trip. I read Wilson Rawls's Summer of the Monkeys as we spent two days driving to the beach. We arrived just behind the power crews restoring(恢复）electricity after a tropical storm. The rain continued most of the week，and the beach was covered with oil washed up by the storm. When we returned home，I asked my son what he liked about the trip. He answered without hesitation，“The book you read in the car. ”Road trips still offer challenges，even though my children now are teenagers. But we continue to read as we roll across the country. And I'm beginning to see that reading aloud has done more than help pass the time. For at least a little while, we are not shut in our own electronic worlds. And maybe we've started something that will pass on to the next generation.24. Why did the author start reading in the car?A. She wanted to have a better journey.B. She wanted to keep a family tradition.C. Her children were addicted to reading.D. Her children were tired of the cassette.25. How did the children react after the author read a few lines?A. They kept fighting.B. I hey hid themselves.C. They soon settled clown.D. They read together aloud.26. What can we learn about the author and her familys trip to the beach?A.They were caught in a storm.B. They enjoyed reading on the road.C. They had a good time on the beach.D. They thought it had passed too quickly.27. Which can be the best title for the text?A. Better Traveling than ReadingB. Books that Changed My ChildrenC. Road Trips Full of ChallengesD. Reading Makes Great Road TripsCThe arm bones of women who lived 7-000 years ago show a surprising level of strength-even higher than today's professional athletes. That's according to a first-ever study comparing prehistoric(史前的)bones to those of living people. The finding suggests a revision of history the everyday lives of prehistoric women were filled with hard labor, rather than just sitting at home doing lighter tasks while the men struggled and fought for life.Before the study, there are no clear records describing how our ancient ancestors lived. It can be easy to forget that bone is a living tissue, one that responds to the difficulties we put our bodies through，"said lead author Alison Macintosh. “Physical force and muscle activity both put pressure on the bone. The bone reacts by changing in shape, thickness and other aspects over time. ”Previous studies only compared female bones to contemporary male bones, the researchers said and that's a problem, because the response of male bones to stress and change is much bigger than that of women. For instance, as humans moved from a hunter-gatherer lifestyle constantly on the move to a more settled agrarian (农耕的）one, changes can be observed in the structure of the shinbone (胫骨) 一 and these changes were much more evident in men.However, a comparison of the bones of prehistoric women to the bonos of living female athletes can help us work out a more accurate picture of what those prehistoric women were doing. “By analyzing the bones of living people and comparing them to the ancient hones, we can start to explain the kinds of labor our ancestors were performing,"Macintosh said. What they found was that women's leg strength hasnt changed a great deal, but their arms used to be very powerful. Prehistoric women, the researchers found, had arm strength 1116 percent stronger than those of modern rowers, and 30 percent stronger than those of non-athletes.28. What does the study tell about prehistoric women?A. They were stronger than men.B. They had lighter bones than men.C. They did tough tasks as the men.D. They spent most time staying at home.29. What problem did previous studies on prehistoric bones have?A. They lacked enough comparison.B. They only studied men's bones.C. They focused little on bones.D. They ignored the lifestyles.30. What does the underlined word “that” in Paragraph 3 refer to?A. Bones structure.B. Bones' thickness.C. Bones response to stress.D. Bones stress from hard labor.31. What can we learn from the last paragraph?A.Its still hard to explain our ancestors' lifestyle.B. Prehistoric women went through much suffering.C. Women's arms have becomc much stronger over time.D. Prehistoric women are stronger than contemporary females.DA few years ago，Darla Hoff painted a pumpkin face onto a round straw bale(捆）at A1 and Karen Goklman's farm in Idaho Palls to advertise her U-pick pumpkin field.
