The attraction is located in Xian, Shaanxi Province. Whats

2、 special? The Terracotta Army is the buried army of Qin Shi Huang, an ancient Chinese emperor. These ancient sculptures were built and buried over two thousand years ago near the city of Xian. They were discovered in 1974 by farmers digging a well to look for underground water. Over eight thousand t

3、erracotta warriors and horses have been uncovered since then. Each warrior is made of clay. They are around two meters tall. The sculptures are so detailed that it is possible to guess the age, rank and personality of each one. None of the warriors are the same. The best time to visit The Terracotta

4、 Army is an indoor attraction, which is not likely to be affected by weather, so it can be visited all year round. As the museum is one of the must-visit attractions in China, it is crowded most of the time. We advise our customers to avoid the following periods when the museum is particularly crowd

5、ed: National Day holidays (October 1-7), when it is fully packed. Labour Day holidays Weather in winter is dry, cold and the least comfortable, and its also the worst season for air quality, but its also low season. Travel style: private, group or independent? A private tour means a lot of flexibili

6、ty (灵活性), and you will be well taken care of by a private guide and a driver. The museum is crowded most of the time, but our guides know how to escape the crowd, and help you to enjoy more in the museum. See our 3-Day Terracotta Warriors Private Tour. Going with a group you wont get lost, but it la

7、cks flexibility and personal service. Travelling on your own, you may meet a lot of trouble, such as wasting time in finding a taxi or public bus to the attraction, lining up for tickets, reading maps, making sense of Chinese signs, etc.1.What can we know about the Terracotta Army from the first two

8、 paragraphs?A.It is discovered by workers.B.The soldiers are made of clay.C.The soldiers are of the same age.D.It is located in the center of Xian.2.Which is the best time to avoid the crowd?A.Summer holidays.B.National Day holidays.C.Labour Day holidays.D.Clear winter days.3.If you want to travel w

9、ith the least trouble, which should you choose?A.A private tour.B.A tour group.C.Travelling on your own.D.A family tour.B Measuring about 13,170 miles long, the Great Wall of China is no doubt the longest man-made project on earth. It was once widely believed that it could be seen from space. Some m

10、edia even reported with affected seriousness, The biggest building the astronauts could see from space is the wall, which looks very much like a black worm. Consequently, this statement has gone deep into peoples minds and become an honor that Chinese people have enjoyed for years. Is the Great Wall

11、 truly visible from space? Yang Liwei, Chinas first astronaut who was lifted into outer space by the spacecraft Shenzhou , gave a definite answer No. Yangs negative response may probably put out a fair number of peoples passion. But it powerfully corrected the misconception. The wall is indeed majes

12、tic, but you wont see it from space! In fact, Neil Alden Armstrong, the American astronaut who first set foot on the moon in 1969, was asked many times whether or not he had seen the Great Wall from the moon. Recently from a sound recording announced by NASA Johnson Space Center, Armstrong said that

13、 he had seen the continents, lakes and blue spots touched with red. But he could not make out any man-made objects on earth from the moon. The Great Wall is narrow and irregular. In space, something irregular is hard to observe. Measuring about 10 metres wide on average, it easily merges (融入) into t

14、he surrounding environment. With solely the naked eye, it is totally invisible at a height of 196,850 feet. To watch the wall on the moon is like seeking for a single hair from about 2,688 metres away. To say an astronaut can see it from space is obviously not true. However, some people introduced a

15、n idea to make the Great Wall visible from space. If we install bright spotlights on the wall, astronauts will see the lights at night. But this suggestion has not been carried out by scientific experiments.1.Which is right about the saying the Great Wall can be seen from space?A.News media cast dou

16、bt on the saying.B.There was much evidence for the saying.C.Astronauts played a trick on Chinese people.D.The Chinese had belief in the saying for long.2.What does the underlined word majestic in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A.Second to none.B.Far-reaching.C.Grand.D.Visible.3.As Armstrong once said, wh

17、at did he see from the moon?A.The Great Wall.B.Bright spotlights.C.Places painted blue.D.Large area of land.4.How does the author prove a point in Paragraph 4?A.By listing figures.B.By giving examples.C.By classifying facts.D.By drawing conclusions.C Music is not just a set of sounds and rhythms. It

18、s influence on the brain is much deeper than any other human experience. Keep on reading to know all about the amazing power of music. A recent study suggests that preterm(早产的) babies appear to experience less pain and feed more when listening to music. A team of experts led by Dr. Manoj Kumar of Un

19、iversity of Alberta, Canada, found that music had a beneficial effect on reducing pain for preterm babies experiencing painful medical tests. It also appeared to benefit full-term babies during operations. Many people experiencing brain damage have speech and movement-related problems. Music can hel

20、p them recover from brain injuries. As a different and effective treatment, doctors often advise such patients to listen to good music to improve the parts of the brain responsible for these two functions. When people with neurological(神经系统的) disorders hear a musical beat, it helps them to regain a

21、balanced walk. Though music cannot make deafness disappear, it can really stave off the loss of hearing. There was an experiment involving 163 people where 74 were musicians. Participants were asked to pass some listening tests. Musicians heard the sounds better than non-musicians, and this differen

22、ce got clearer with age. This means that a 70-year-old musician hears better than a 50-year-old non-musician, even in a noisy environment. Besides, music mends a broken heart. It is not about thrown-away love, but about a heart attack. The matter is that music can help people recover from a heart at

23、tack or a heart operation by reducing blood pressure, slowing down the heartbeat rate, and reducing anxiety. Listening to the quality music produces positive emotions, improves the movement of blood, and expands blood vessels, thus, promoting quick recovery of the whole cardiovascular (心血管的) system.

24、1.How does music affect preterm babies?A.It helps reduce their pain.B.It helps develop their potential in music.C.It helps improve their hearing systems.D.It helps repair their neurological systems.2.What does the underlined phrase stave off in Paragraph 4 mean?A.Lead to.B.Increase.C.Prevent.D.Break

26、 the text?A.Who can benefit from music?B.The best time to listen to musicC.The way to choose quality musicD.Musics effects on ones mind and bodyD Should we allow modern buildings to be built next to older buildings in a historic area of a city? In order to answer this question, we must first examine

27、 whether people really want to preserve the historic feel of an area. Not all historical buildings are attractive. However, there may be other reasonsfor example, economic reasonswhy they should be preserved. So, let us assume that historical buildings are both attractive and important to the majori

28、ty of people. What should we do then if a new building is needed? In my view, new architectural styles can exist perfectly well alongside an older style. Indeed, there are many examples in my own hometown where modern designs have been placed very successfully next to old buildings. As long as the b

29、uilding in question is pleasing and does not dominate(影响) its surroundings too much, it often improves the attractiveness of the area. It is true that there are examples of new buildings which have spoilt the area they are in, but the same can be said of some old buildings too. Yet people still spea

30、k against new buildings in historic areas. I think this is simply because people are naturally conservative(保守的) and do not like change. Although we have to respect peoples feelings as fellow users of the buildings, I believe that it is the duty of the architect and planner to move things forward. I

31、f we always reproduced what was there before, we would all still be living in caves. Thus, I would argue against copying previous architectural styles and choose something fresh and different, even though that might be the more risky choice.1.What does the author say about historical buildings in th
