Most of the castles we think of today were built in Europe. They were built from about 1, 000 AD to about 1, 500 AD, during a period known as the Middle Ages. Castles played an important role after the fall of the Roman Empire. When a king granted land to nobles, the nobles promised in return to serve the king and provide him with soldiers. Nobles built castles on the lands given to them. But some nobles simply claimed land as their own and built a castle on it. That was asking for trouble. There were many power struggles between nobles and kings, and among the nobles themselves. A typical stone castle had several main parts. At the centre of the castle was a tall and very strong building called the keep. This is where people in the castle made their last stand if the outer defences (防御) failed. The keep was set in a courtyard, where there were workshops, stables, and a kitchen. High, thick walls surrounded the keep and the courtyard. Strong, round defensive towers stood at the corners of the walls. Guards walked along the tops of the walls and towers. Many stone castles were surrounded by a wide ditch called a moat (护城河). Some moats were filled with water, but many were not. The only way into the castle was across a wooden drawbridge over the moat. If enemies attacked, the defenders raised the bridge. Then they lowered a heavy iron-and-wood barrier called a portcullis to block the entrance to the castle. A well-built castle was a pretty safe place to be. Attackers had a hard time getting in. But they still had some options. They could go over the walls using ladders. They could smash (撞碎) through the walls or doors. Or they could dig under the walls and try to get part of the wall to fall down. If none of those things worked, they could just camp outside until the defenders ran out of food. Attackers sometimes brought large machines called siege engines with them to break through castle doors or walls. This was a heavy wooden beam with a metal cap. In the early 1500s, cannons entered wide use in warfare. Cannonballs could dig into the base of stone walls and weaken them. The walls then fell under their own weight. As a result, castles were no longer needed.29The underlined word “That” refers to the fact that _.Anobles built castles on the lands given to themBthe nobles promised to serve the king in returnCsome nobles simply claimed land as their ownDthe nobles provided the king with soldiers30How many choices are mentioned to occupy a castle before the sixteenth century?A3B4C5D631What can we infer from the passage?ASome castles were built to attract more visitors.BKings in ancient Europe were more generous.CPortcullises were used to break through castle doors.DWarfare must be common from 1, 000 AD to about 1, 500 AD32What is the best subtitle of the last two paragraphs?AAttacking a castleBVisiting a castleCA pretty safe placeDWeakness of a castleDo you know some people have memories that are completely wrong? They remember things that never happened. Sometimes, many people have the same wrong memory. When this happens, its believed that it is because of the Mandela Effect. People first noticed the Mandela Effect in 2013. That year, Nelson Mandela passed away. However, thousands of people remembered him dying in the 1980s. They described watching his funeral (葬礼) on TV. But in fact, Mandela lived to be 95 years old. How could that be? How could so many people have the same wrong memory?Most experts explain the Mandela Effect using brain science. When we make memories, our brains keep them in groups. Each group includes memories that are similar to each other. Sometimes, our brains messed up (混乱). They mix two similar memories together. Thats why people thought Nelson Mandela died in the 1980s. They knew he was imprisoned (坐牢) during the 1980s. For some reason, they mixed his imprisonment with his death. That would explain why so many people in 2013 thought Nelson Mandela was already dead. But would it explain why all those people gave similar descriptions of his funeral? Could all those people have mixed up the same two memories?There are many other examples of the Mandela Effect. Have you ever seen the Mona Lisa? Many people remember the woman in the painting with a frown (皱眉). Others say she was straight-faced. If you look at the Mona Lisa today, youll find shes smiling. Did you ever read a series of childrens books about The Berenstein Bears? No, you didnt. In our reality, the books are about The Berenstein Bears, spelled with an “a” instead of an “e”. Still, thousands of people believe they remember the name spelled differently. Are these wrong memories the result of mixed memories, or is there another explanation？Without further science research, we cant say for sure!33What is the Mandela Effect?ASome people have worse memory than others.BSome people may have the same wrong memory.CPeople are better at remembering certain things.DPeople remember unhappy experiences more easily.34Why does the author give the example in Para. 2?ATo prove his point.BTo introduce the topic.CTo correct the view above.DTo provide the background.35What is the reason for the Mandela Effect given in Para. 3?APeople are easily influenced by others.BPeople pay little attention to the fact.CPeople mix two similar events up.DPeople have poor memory.36What does the author think of the Mandela Effect?AIts reason is unknown.BIt lasts for a long time.CIt is hard to avoid.DIts effect is greatHistory is important to study because it is essential for all of us in understanding ourselves and the world around us. And in my opinion, studying history benefits beyond history itself, because it helps develop and improve our skills through studying history. We can improve our reading skills by reading texts from different periods. Language has changed and developed over time and so has the way people write and express themselves. We can also improve our writing skills through learning not to just repeat what someone else said, but to analyze information from multiple sources and come up with our own conclusions. Its two birds with one stonebetter writing and critical thinking!There are so many sources of information out in the world. Finding a decisive truth for many topics just doesnt exist. What was a victory for one group was a great loss for anotherwe get to create our own opinions of these events. History gives us the opportunity to learn from others past mistakes. It helps us understand many reasons why people may behave the way they do. As a result, it helps us become smarter as decision-makers. In the study of history we will need to conduct research. This gives us the opportunity to look at two kinds of sourcesprimary (written at the time) and secondary sources (written about a time period, after the fact). This practice can teach us how to decipher between reliable and unreliable sources. There are numbers and data to be learned from history. In terms of patterns: patterns in population, disappearances during times of war, and even in environmental factors. These patterns that are found help clarify why things happened as they did. Its incredibly important to learn to question the quality of the informa
