Are they roads, star pointers，maybe even a gigantic map? If the people who lived here 2,000 years ago had only a simple technology, how did they manage to construct such precise figures? Did they have a plan?”四方面使人迷惑的問(wèn)題，可知這四個(gè)因素使the Nazca Lines更獨(dú)特更使人們難忘，故選D。(3)考查推理判斷。根據(jù)最后一段中的“The Nazca plain is unique for its ability to preserve the markings upon it, due to the bination of the climate and the flat, stony ground which minimizes the effect of the wind at ground level.”可知因?yàn)檫@里干燥少雨的氣候和平坦多石的地形使地畫(huà)能很好的被保留，故選C。(4)考查詞義猜測(cè)。最后一句指這些因素，加上沙漠表面下淺色地下土壤的存在，給那些想要永久留下印記的藝術(shù)家提供了一個(gè)巨大的書(shū)寫(xiě)板?！癳ternal”永恒的，和Everlasting同義，故選B。【點(diǎn)評(píng)】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解，推理判斷和詞義猜測(cè)三個(gè)題型的考查，是一篇文化類(lèi)閱讀，考生需要準(zhǔn)確捕捉細(xì)節(jié)信息，并進(jìn)一步根據(jù)上下文進(jìn)行分析，推理，概括和歸納，選出正確答案。5．閱讀理解 The year 3700, Earth is far too hot for any human to call it home. On this planet at least, man is nothing more than a memoryif there is anything left to remember the wise man. But what about our wisdomwill any of it survive us? The conventional answer is no. Knowledge requires a knower, and there will be no knowing minds around then. But if information survives, perhaps in books or hard drives, maybe the knowledge isn39。t quite dead but dormant(休眠), ready to bee alive with the help of other minds that develop over time or e to visit Earth in the distant future. At first sight, that seems to be reasonable: after all, we have done similar things with past knowledge. For example, we saved an ancient puter from a ship destroyed at sea off the southern coast of Greece, and succeeded in finding the meaning of Egyptian hieroglyphics(象形文字). Careful work can bring previously lost wisdom back to life. However, the key point is that there is a certain cultural continuity with those ancient times that allows us to reason and make progress in the dark: we know we are dealing with the legacy(遺產(chǎn))of other humans. Without that link, the survival of objects and raw data doesn39。t guarantee the survival of knowledge. And a lack of continuity in language with any future intelligence would be a barrier. Knowledge is closely connected with language. When a language dies out, we can lose systems of reasoning that they contain. If that39。s lost, then it can39。t be recovered. All this means that other minds might not be able to fully make human knowledge alive when we are gone. It is better to concentrate on not dying out in the first place.（1）How many opinions are mentioned in ? A.One.B.Two.C.Three.D.Four.（2）What does the underlined phrase similar things in Para 3 probably refer to? A.Making lost wisdom alive again.B.Rescuing disappearing knowledge.C.Preserving future knowledge.D.Gaining new knowledge.（3）How can we make knowledge survive? A.We know a lot about human beings.B.We learn ways to draw conclusions.C.We have a certain cultural continuity.D.We protect the legacy of other humans.（4）What39。s mainly talked about in the text? A.Can human beings live on?B.Will our knowledge survive us?C.What will the earth be like in the future?D.How can we protect our culture?【答案】 （1）B（2）A（3）C（4）B 【解析】【分析】本文講述的是，我們的智慧將會(huì)幸存嗎？(1)推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段Knowledge requires a knower, and there will be no knowing minds around then. But if information survives, perhaps in books or hard drives, maybe the knowledge isn39。t quite dead but dormant(休眠), ready to bee alive with the help of other minds that develop over time or e to visit Earth in the distant ，在第二段中提出了兩種建議，故答案為B(2)詞義猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)第三段中第二、三句For example, we saved an ancient puter from a ship destroyed at sea off the sou
