13.When your country relies heavily on tourism and you lose more than a third of your visitors due to political revolution,you've got to do something pretty dramatic to get them back.And if you are Egypt,you reopen a pyramid.
The Egyptian government recently announced that one of its great pyramids 一 the Pyramid of Chefren 一 and as many as six other ancient tombs at the Giza Necropolis (吉薩金字塔群) will be reopened after a long restoration project.The move was made in an attempt to revive (重振) a tourism industry that was badly affected by last year's unrest.
Egypt became a no-go area following the unrest in 2011.Scenes of violent protests,mainly in the Capital Cairo,were broadcast ACROSS the world and understandably took the country off the holiday trail.
Despite that questions are still being asked about the security of potential tourists visiting the region,Egypt's antiquities minister Muhammad Ibrahim insisted that it was a safe country.He said the region was far more stable one year on,adding that other archaeological (考古的) sites were due to be opened across Egypt in coming months.
The Pyramid of Chefren,also known as the Pyramid of Chafren,is the second largest pyramid at the Giza site.It was built as the tomb for the Pharaoh Chafren from ancient Egypt's fourth dynasty.The pyramid and the other around it,were discovered in 1927 by American archaeologist George Reinser,and have been closed for restoration on several other occasions in the past.
In 1990s a site management plan was carried out to try and preserve these historic treasures when the antiquities ministry discovered that the large volume of visitors over the years had raised levels of humidity inside the structures to levels of up to 80 percent.Research found that every visitor to the pyramids released an average of 20 grams of water vapor through sweat,which slowly caused damage to the walls inside.
The project,which cost around $4 million,included cleaning the walls of the tombs and strengthening them,as well AS removing graffiti left by previous visitors.Inscriptions (銘文)and paintings were also preserved.
 
(Note:Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN FIFTEEN WORDS.)
81.The Pyramid of Chefren will be reopened following restoration project in an attempt torevive Egypt's tourism industry
82.According to the passage,why were tourists unwilling to go to Egypt after the unrest in 2011?Because tourists were worried about their safety.
83.What else does the Egyptian government plan to do in the coming months to help the country's tourism industry?To reopen other archaeological sites across Egypt.
84.A site management plan was carried out in the 1990s becausethe large volume of visitors had caused damage to the walls inside pyramids.

分析 本文講述了為重振埃及旅游業(yè),政府決定重新開放一些古遺跡,并出臺政策加強(qiáng)保護(hù).

解答 81.revive Egypt's tourism industry 細(xì)節(jié)題.根據(jù)第二段"revive (重振) a tourism industry"的介紹,可知重新開放金字塔目的為重振旅游業(yè).
82.Because tourists were worried about their safety.細(xì)節(jié)題.根據(jù)第二段最后一句以及第三段內(nèi)容可知,由于擔(dān)心受到"affected by last year's unrest"影響,游客擔(dān)心自身安全問題.
83.To reopen other archaeological sites across Egypt.細(xì)節(jié)題.第四段這句話"He said the region was far more stable one year on,adding that other archaeological (考古的) sites were due to be opened across Egypt in coming months"推出,埃及政府打算在接下來的幾個(gè)月重新開放考古遺址.
84.the large volume of visitors had caused damage to the walls inside pyramids 細(xì)節(jié)題.第六段第一句話"In 1990s a site management plan was carried out to try and preserve these historic treasures"告訴我們實(shí)施這樣一個(gè)管理計(jì)劃目的為保護(hù)這些古遺跡.

8.閱讀下面短文并回答問題,然后將答案寫到答題卡相應(yīng)的位置上(請注意問題后的詞數(shù)要求).
[1]Do Americans have any morals?That's a good question.Many people insist that ideas about right and wrong are merely personal opinions.Some voices,though,are calling Americans back to traditional moral values.William J.Bennett,former U.S Secretary of Education,edited The Book of Virtues in 1993 to do justthat.Bennett suggests that great moral stories can build character.The success of Bennett's book shows that many Americans still believe in moral values.But what are they?
[2]One of the most basic moral values for Americans is honesty.The well-known legend about George Washington and the cherry tree teaches this value clearly.Little George cut down his father's favorite cherry tree while trying out his new hatchet.When his father asked him about it,George said,"I cannot tell a lie.I did it with my hatchet."Instead of punishment.George received praise for   .Sometimes American honesty-being open and direct-can offend people.But Americans still believe that"honesty is the best policy."
[3]Another virtue Americans respect is perseverance.Remember Aesop's fable about the turtle and the rabbit that had a race?The rabbit thought he could win easily,so he took a nap.But the turtle finally won because he did not give up.
[4]In no way can this brief description cover all the moral values honored by Americans.Courage,responsibility,loyalty,gratitude and many others could be discussed.In fact,Bennett's bestseller-over 800 pages-highlights just ten virtues.Even Bennett admits that he has only scratched the surface.But no matter how long or short the list,moral values,are invaluable.They are the foundation of American culture and any culture.
76.What's the text mainly about?(no more than 10 words)
(What are) The American moral values
77.What does the underlined word"that"in Paragraph I probably refer to?(no more than 10 words)calling Americans back to traditional moral values

Another story tells of a little train that had to climb a steep hill.The hill was so steep that the little train had a hard time trying to get over it.But the train just kept pulling all the way and finally made it.

3.To be a good teacher,you need some of the gifts of a good actor; you must be able to hold the attention and interest of your audience; you must be a clear speaker,with a good,strong,pleasant voice which is fully under your control(控制); and you must be able to act what you are teaching,in order to make its meaning clear.
Watch a good teacher,and you will see that he doesn't sit still before his class; he stands the whole time he is teaching; he walks about,using his arms,hands and fingers to help him in his explanations,and his face to express feelings.
There are very important differences between the teacher's work and the actor's.The actor has to speak words which he has learnt by heart; he has to repeat exactly the same words each time he plays a certain part,even his movements and the ways in which he uses his voice are usually fixed beforehand.What he has to do is to make all these carefully learnt words and actions seem natural on the stage.A good teacher works in quite a different way.His audience take an active part in his play:they ask and answer questions,they obey orders,and if they don't understand anything,they say no.The teacher can't learn his part by heart,but must invent it as he goes along.
I have known many teachers who are fine actors in class but are unable to take part in a stage-play because they can't keep strictly to what another has written.

63.According to the pasaage,a good teacher should NOTD.
A.hold the attention and interest of his audience
B.speak with a good,strong and pleasant voice
C.speak clearly to his audience in class
D.sit still while using his body language
64.A good teacher is probably one whoB.
A.speaks words which he has learnt by heart
B.can change his voice if necessary
C.makes all words and actions seem natural
D.must able to take part in a stage-play
65.The word"beforehand"underlined in the third paragraph is closest in the meaning toA.
A.a(chǎn)head of time   B.later  C.recently  D.since then
66.The best little for the passage is likely to beD.
A.A good teacher and a good actor
B.A good teacher's guidance
C.A good teacher's knowledge
D.How to be a good teacher.
