【題目】The ancient city of Chichen Itza in southern Mexico was one of the most powerful cities and one of the most powerful ancient cultures — the Maya. But today, no one lives there. It is only a group of old buildings. However, people from around the world still come to see it. People come to learn about its ancient culture, the culture of the Mayan people.

The Mayan culture began almost 3,000 years ago and grew in parts of Central America. But about 1,000 years ago a group called the Itza invaded the city and built new parts of the city based on natural wells. They named the city Chichen Itza, which means “mouth of the well of the Itza”.

The most interesting structure in Chichen Itza is the Pyramid of Kukulcan (庫庫爾坎金字塔), whose four sides all come together at one point at the top. Each side on the Pyramid of Kukulcan has 91 steps. And there is one more step at the top of the pyramid. The steps are as many as the days of a year. Some experts believe the Maya could have used this building to help them know when to plant crops. Each day the sun falls on a different step of the pyramid, which could be a way to follow the year.

The people of Chichen Itza especially designed one building to observe and study the movement of the stars and planets. Experts say that the observatory (天文臺) is one of the most complex structures the Maya built. A set of steps went up and around the observatory tower. And there were windows in the tower. Each window had a purpose. Experts believe that a person looking through one of these windows could see particular stars on particular dates. The Maya might have believed that studying the stars could tell them the future.

【3】Which of the following is true?

A. Chichen Itza is one of the World Heritages.

B. The Pyramid of Kukulcan has 364 steps.

【題目】根據(jù)短文理解，選擇正確答案。
When I was eight, I saw a movie about an island that had an erupting volcano and jungles filled with wild animals. The island was ruled by a beautiful woman called Tondalaya, the Fire Goddess of the Volcano. It was a low-budget(小成本) movie, but to me, it represented the perfect life. But through the years, Tondalaya was forgotten.
The week I turned 50, my marriage came to a sudden end. My house, furniture and everything I'd owned was sold to pay debts that I didn't even know existed. In a week I had lost my husband, my home and my parents who had refused to accept a divorce (離婚) in the family. I'd lost everything except my four teenage children. I used every penny I had to buy five plane tickets from Missouri to Hawaii. Everyone said I was crazy to think I could just run off to an island and survive. I was afraid they were right.
I worked 18 hours a day and lost 30 pounds because I lived on one meal a day. One night as I walked alone on the beach, I saw the red orange lava (火山巖) pouring out of Kilauea Volcano in the distance. It was time to live my imagination!
The next day, I quit my job, bought some art supplies and began doing what I loved. I hadn't painted a picture in 15 years. I wondered if I could still paint. My hands trembled the first time I picked up a brush. But before an hour had passed, I was lost in the colors spreading across the canvas (畫布) in front of me. And as soon as I started believing in myself, other people started believing in me, too. The first painting sold for $1,500.
The past six years have been filled with adventures. My children and I have gone swimming with dolphins, watched whales and hiked around the crater rim (火山口邊緣) of the volcano. We wake up every morning with the ocean in front of us and the volcano behind us. The dream I had more than 40 years is now reality. I'm living freely and happily ever after.
（1）Why did the writer go to Hawaii?
A.To realize her childhood dream.
B.To free herself from trouble.
C.To spend her holiday.
D.To make a living.
（2）Which of the following is the writer's dream?
A.Living in nature with animals.
B.Becoming a successful painter.
C.Getting close to wildlife.
D.Living a free and happy life.
（3）We can infer from the passage that ________.
A.the writer's husband took away most of her money
B.the writer wasn't sure whether she could survive in Hawaii at first
C.the writer had never done painting before
D.the writer's parents encouraged her to divorce
