  Though pyramids are found in Egypt, the word “pyramid” comes from the Greek language   1   the Greeks first arrived in Egypt long ago, they found many grand stone   2   which they named “pyramids”.The Greeks wondered   3   the Egyptians had built the great pyramids, but they could not find the   4   ,and even now we still don’t know exactly how.

  It is   5   in many ancient books written in Arabic and found in Egypt that the Egyptians   6   life after death.When a person   7  , his family or friends placed the things near his body which they thought he might need.Emperors or kings had great   8  , so their bodies were kept inside the great pyramids, and they had had them built for many years even while they were   9  

  The Great Pyramid, which was 482 feet high and   10   two square kilometers of land, was built for King Khufu with 2 300 000 blocks of large stones, the smallest of which even   11   over 2500 kilograms, as   12   as a car.

  How the ancient Egyptians   13  , moved and lifted such heavy stones without modern machines has always remained a great   14   to present scholars.Perhaps these stones were taken across the Nile in boats at   15   time.Maybe they were moved on rollers(滚筒)using slipper Nile mud on land and   16   up along sloping(倾斜的)roads to the sides of the pyramids.It is still a great   17   that the stones   18   together so well that even a straight knife cannot be pushed between them.

  Century after century, strong winds have been   19   yellow sand around the pyramids.Different rulers have come and gone.Everything seems to   20   except the pyramids.They have remained a 5000-year-old mystery in silence.

答案:1.C;2.B;3.A;4.D;5.C;6.A;7.D;8.B;9.C;10.D;11.A;12.B;13.A;14.B;15.C;16.D;17.B;18.C;19.A;20.D;
解析:

(1)

由空后是一个从句,可以把D项During(介词)排除;又while意为“当……时候”讲时,多与延续性动词连用,可以把A项排除;since引导的从句用一般过去时,主句应用完成时态。只有C项When(当……时)符合题意。

(2)

上文提到“pyramid”一词来自于希腊语,而pyramid属于建筑(building),因此答案为B项。

(3)

由上下文可知金字塔建造的时间(when)、地点(where)以及原因(why)都是很明了的,只有怎样(how)建造至今仍是个谜。

(4)

由下文的“and even now we still don’t know exactly how”可以推知希腊人没有找到答案。

(5)

在用阿拉伯语写的许多书上都对下面的事情有记载。record意思是“记录”,其他几个词与书籍搭配不当。

(6)

词组believe in的意思是“信仰”,而believe的意思是“相信某人的话”。

(7)

上文提到埃及人信仰人死后还有生命,因此此空的答案应为died,该句意思是“当一个人死后,他的家人和朋友把他们认为他可能需要的东西放在他的尸体旁边”。

(8)

powers意思是“权力”,因为埃及国王权力大,才会修建金字塔。其他三项与下文搭配不当。

(9)

埃及国王都是在活着的时候为自己修建金字塔的。由该空前面的even when很容易得出答案。

(10)

表示占有多大面积,要用动词cover。而own是表示某人拥有某物,lie的意思则是“位于,平躺”,与原文意思不符。

(11)

因该空后跟的是重量“over 2500 kilograms”,所以答案为A项。

(12)

表示“重达……”时,常用“weigh as much as…”来表达。

(13)

因为修建金字塔包含了好多方面:搬运石头、切割石头等,因此D项built和moved, lifted不是并列的动作,应排除。在其余三个选项中只有A项能和句意相吻合。

(14)

由下文可知金字塔仍旧是个解不开的谜,可知答案为puzzle。

(15)

由该空前面的boats可得出答案。

(16)

修建金字塔当然是把石头沿着斜坡向上拖。

(17)

应该说石头与石头衔接的如此紧密是个奇迹。wonder此处为名词,意思是“奇迹”。

(18)

单词fit在此处的意思是“衔接,适合”。指石头与石头的衔接应用动词fit。

(19)

由空前的strong winds可得出答案blowing。

(20)

由最后一段中的“Different rulers have come and gone”可知,随着岁月的流逝,除了金字塔外,一切都好像在变化。

  As my wife greeted me one evening, her voice came through the door,“Guess what?”

  “  5   can play at that game,”I responded.“I will wear my gray suit, my Borsalino imported straw hat and a new silk tie.We will be well   6  .”

  It was early   7   and nearing dusk as the waiter took us to a table by a window, with a(n)  8   of the river.And the table was   9   set, with a smoke-gray tablecloth and bright colored napkins.

  A delicious meal   10   in such an atmosphere should be remembered a long time.As it   11  , this will probably never be forgotten.

  As the shadows lengthened, the   12   rocking by the riverbank, I murmured,“Why not take a walk?”

  Hand in hand, we walked by the stores.People smiled and nodded.“I   13   realized there were so many   14   people as we have seen this evening, dear,”I observed.

  “Probably your new straw hat or your   15  ,”she said.

  After receiving many smiles, we   16   ourselves back at the restaurant, looking at ourselves in the   17  .It was then that I saw the   18   for all the smiles.

  Caught in the fly of my trousers and   19   down for all to see was a bright red   20   from the restaurant!

  When I was a little girl, every Sunday my family of six would put on our best clothes and go to Sunday School and then church.The   1   in elementary school would all meet together to sing songs, and then later divide into   2   based on their ages.

  One Easter Sunday, all the kids   3   with big eyes and big   4   about what the Easter Bunny(复活节小兔)had brought.  5   all of the kids shared their stories with   6  , one young boy , whom I shall call Bobby, sat   7  .One of the teachers , noticing this, said to him, “And what did the Easter Bunny   8   you?”He replied, “My mom   9   the door by accident so the Easter Bunny couldn't get   10   because he hadn't got a key.”

  This sounded like a   11   idea to all of us kids, so we kept on going with the stories.My mom knew the true story,   12  .Bobby's mom was a single parent , and she suspected(怀疑)that they just couldn't   13   the Easter Bunny.
