B
Daban town is famous for girls and windmills(風(fēng)車), while Loulan is a myth(神話)in the desert. From Daban, we move to another ancient city, Loulan.
Two thousand years ago, beside the beautiful and rich Luobu Lake, there lay Loulan, ancient city on the Silk Road. Businessmen from every country gathered here and there were dancing parties. Everything shows that people in Loulan lived a rich life then.
However, two thousand years later, this rich land suddenly disappeared from the map of China. Then it became an area covered with sand and dead tree trunks.
Loulan was first “discovered” by a Swedish man Sven Hedin in 1900. People from America, Britain, Japan and Sweden, all set foot here. Then in the 1930s, a Chinese named Huang Wenbi came to Loulan for the first time. He visited and studied this area and found many relics that were beautifully and carefully made.
It is recorded that the ancient city of Loulan was the capital of Loulan Kingdom during the Han and Jin dynasties. In the past century many things have been dug out there including Han Dynasty coins, mirrors and many others from Greece and Rome. All these things show that a lot of business between East and West once took place there.
Lying on the northwest of the Lop Nur area, the Loulan Kingdom is now a lifeless area with endless “forests” of mounds(小丘)which aren’t easily seen in other parts of the world. Its mystery (神秘) has been attracting so many people from so many countries.
65. The first person to set foot in Loulan in the 20th century is .
A. a European B. an American

Mr. Dawson was an old bad-tempered man, and everyone in town knew it. Kids knew not to go into his yard to pick apples, because old Dawson, they said, would come after you with his gun.

son’s house, but as they got 37 , Janet saw him sitting on his front porch and suggested they cross over the street. Like most, she was 38 of the old man.
Amy said, “Don’t 39 .” When they got close enough, Dawson looked up with his 40
frown (皺眉), but when he saw it was Amy, he gave a broad 41 .

They once seemed more at home on the busy streets of Asia like Delhi, Calcutta and Bangkok but cycle powered rickshaws (人力車) can now be seen taking people across town in many European cities. Many people believe that rickshaws are a good way of experiencing a city close-up, while also cutting down on traffic jams and pollution. In Berlin, one of the first cities to introduce this new model of transport, more than 200 bike-taxis go along at 15km per hour, past many tourist attractions and city parks.
“It is completely environmentally friendly; we have new models with an engine to help the driver up the hills but they use renewable energy.” said a spokesman for VELOTAXI, the leading rickshaw company which has carried a quarter of a million people this year.
While the city still has 7,000 motor-taxis, rickshaw company officials say their taxis’ green ideas, speed and safety make them more than just a tourist attraction. While now increasingly out of fashion in Delhi, Berlin people have eagerly accepted the new fleet since their launch in 1997.
“It’s better than a taxi, better than a bus, better than the train,” said ULF Lehman, 36, as he leapt out of a rickshaw near the world famous Brandenburg gate. “ It feels so free.”
“This is something out of the ordinary, you feel you are on holiday in Bangkok instead of Berlin,” said another traveler.
In Amsterdam, driver Peter Jancso said people like to be driven around in his bright yellow rickshaw and pretend to be a queen in a golden carriage. "I like my passengers to feel important," he said as he dropped off another passenger. Another visitor noted how cheap it was compared with a normal taxi.
Although increasingly popular in Europe, it is the opposite in India, where hand-pulled rickshaws are considered inhuman and a symbol of India's backward past.
Nearly 500 bike-rickshaws are running in London and are not required to pay the city's road tax but things may change as other taxi drivers complain of unfair treatment.
【小題1】 Where are rickshaws becoming more popular?
A.Delhi, Berlin, Paris. | B.Amsterdam, Bangkok, Delhi. |
C.Athens, London, Berlin. | D.Berlin, Amsterdam, London. |
A.They are a reminder of a bad period in India's history. |
B.They have been banned because they are inefficient. |
C.The streets of India are too crowded for them to move through easily. |
D.Indians now prefer to travel by car because they are richer. |
A.The passenger didn't like taking a rickshaw as it reminded him of Bangkok. |
B.The passenger enjoyed being on holiday in Berlin more than in Bangkok. |
C.The passenger was impressed when taking a rickshaw and considered it unusual. |
D.The passenger disapproved of rickshaws because they were not original to Berlin. |
A.He gives no personal opinion. |
B.He believes they will be of no use. |
C.He thinks they will reduce pollution. |
D.He thinks they are old-fashioned. |
