We are going to see the ruins of Machu Picchu in the mountains of the Andes．Machu Picchu was forgotten for centuries but discovered in 1911 by Hiram Bingham, a professor from Yale．It is said to be one of the most beautiful ancient sites in the world．

The Incas built the ancient civilization of Machu Picchu between the 12th century and the early 16th century．They spoke a language called Quechua but had no writing system at all．They kept records on various coloured strings with knots called quipu．

The Incas proved to be wonderful architects．They built most of their buildings with huge stones but without using any cement（粘結(jié)材料） to stick them together．However, the huge stones fit together so perfectly that you cannot force a sharp knife between two blocks．They also built bridges, tunnels through mountains and channels to bring water to their cities—just as the Romans did．The Incas turned the mountains into farmlands and planted corn and potatoes, and raised animals like llama and alpaca for food．

Now Machu Piccu has become a major tourist site in Peru, attracting people from all over the world．

1.How long ago was Machu Picchu discovered?

A．About 20 years ago            B．About 50 years ago．

C．About 70 years ago            D．About a century ago．

2.With what did the Incas build their wonderful buildings?

              A．strings    B．stones         C．cements              D．trees

3.The Incas built the following like the Romans except _______ according to the passage．

A．roads    B．bridges       C．tunnels     D．channels

4.What does the speaker probably do?

A．A visitor．    B．A guide．   C．A teacher．    D．A scientist．

Angry survivors（幸存者）demanded answers on Sunday after a terrible accident at “Love Parade 2010”, a music festival in Germany, killed 19 people and left hundreds hurt.

The German Chancellor Angela Merkel expressed her shock over Saturday’s tragedy in the western city of Duisburg., “This was a very sad day,” Merkel said.

Witnesses（目擊者）said that people pushed into the narrow tunnel, the only entrance to the Love Parade festival, from both sides until it was dangerously overcrowded. The panic began as festival-goers began to lose consciousness（意識(shí)）as they were crushed against the walls and each other. The dead included eight foreigners, from Australia, Italy, the Netherlands, China, Bosnia and Spain. More than 340 people were injured.

After the panic, a lot of emergency vehicles（救援交通工具）, including helicopters, could be seen carrying away the injured people. The festival itself, however, went on. Police were afraid that ending the music altogether could cause further unrest among the crowd.

“The event was a real mess,” Patrick Guenter, a 22-year-old baker, said. “Although the festival was full, they kept letting people in,” he added. “It seems the organizers didn’t plan the route. And no one knew what was going on.” said Taggart Bowen-Gaddy, 20, an American from Philadelphia.

Officials said 4,000 police officers and 1,000 security guards provided security for the event, which attracted up to 1.4 million people.

 “I warned one year ago that Duisburg was not a suitable place for the Love Parade. The city is too small and narrow for such events. It is a pity that…” German police union chief Rainer Wendt said.

 The chief organizer, Rainer Schaller, said the popular event would never be held again, “out of respect for the victims and their families”.

1.How many Germans were killed in the stampede at “Love Parade 2010”?

   A. 19        B. 8        C. 11         D. 15

2. How did the German Chancellor Angela Merkel feel about the tragedy?

   A. She was very disappointed.        B. She was very surprised.

   A. the event was well-organized                

B. the performance was wonderful

   C. Duisburg was suitable for the Love Parade    

 D. the organization was very bad

4. We can infer from the passage that _____.

   A. Rainer Wendt’s warning went unnoticed 

B. Rainer Wendt was a chief organizer of “Love Parade 2010”

D. Duisburg is a suitable place for the Love Parade
