【文章內(nèi)容簡(jiǎn)介】 意三個(gè)題型的考查，是一篇故事類(lèi)閱讀，要求考生在捕捉細(xì)節(jié)信息的基礎(chǔ)上，進(jìn)一步根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關(guān)系，進(jìn)行分析，推理，概括和歸納，從而選出正確答案。4．閱讀理解 If we want to find out what kind of technology people used in the past, we normally have to rely on archaeologists to find ruined buildings and parts of tools or instruments or machines. Archaeologists then try to reconstruct, sometimes with the help of puter technology, what these ancient buildings and objects must have looked like, and how they might have been made. Sometimes historians are lucky and find an ancient document with a written description of these ancient buildings and objects. We can understand, then, why Chinese historians were so excited when they found cave paintings which show ancient science. They found these paintings in the worldrenowned Mogao Grottoes of Dunhuang City, in Northwest China39。s Gansu Province. There are 500 manmade caves and they have survived for at least 1,600 years. Almost all of these caves have paintings on their ceilings or walls and they date from the 4th to 14th centuries. Wang Jinyu is an expert on these cave paintings (also called frescoes) and he says: We discovered frescoes containing scientific and technological content in almost all of the caves which have frescoes. What is remarkable about these cave paintings according to the Xinhua News Agency is that they provide evidence of scientific and technological inventions by ancient Chinese in maths, physics, chemistry, astronomy, geography, agronomy, architecture, textiles, traffic and transportation, arms and military equipment and medical sciences. Among the discoveries experts have made are cave paintings showing ancient techniques of pottery making and wine production and paintings showing ancient weaving machines and then toothbrushes! The paintings also give some evidence of the lifestyle at the time with, for example, pictures of people boiling milk over 1,000 years ago. Experts believe that there is more evidence to be found, but even now the caves are a wonderful natural museum. If the walls and ceilings of the caves were all put together they would form a tapestry 20 kilometers long and 2 meters high! It won39。t be possible to travel back in timethat only happens in filmsbut visiting these caves would be the nearest experience you could get to travelling back in time.（1）Why were Chinese historians excited when they found cave paintings showing ancient science? A.Because they had rarely seen cave paintings.B.Because they could make the place a tourist attraction.C.Because they could learn about ancient science through them.D.Because they would be given lots of money for the discovery.（2）The Mogao Grottoes of Dunhuang City______. A.have 500 manmade cavesB.have been there for at most 1,600 yearsC.help us to know little about ancient scienceD.have paintings on their ceilings in every cave（3）Experts had discovered cave paintings showing the ancient techniques of ______. A.pottery making and wine productionB.weaving machines and toothbrushesC.boiling milk over 1,000 years agoD.architecture and weaving（4）The article is more likely to be selected from the magazine ______.

This would mean that she always felt that she was protected and would always have money if she really needed it. When I was married in 1970 my husband who had heard this story obtained a 1937 crown for me and I have always kept it in my wallet and I have always had enough for my needs. A friend recently fell on hard times partly through external (外部的) circumstances and partly through poor planning. Friends and I have loaned her money, paid her bills, even given her food and tried to teach her budget techniques, but none of them has been a solution. She has just slipped deeper and deeper into financial trouble and depression. Last week she looked pale and unwell, very depressed and hopeless. I then thought about how the crown, a reminder of another39。s care and love, had protected me so I went to the bank for a $100 dollar bill. I told my friend the story and asked her to keep the $100 in the back of her wallet. It turned out that she didn39。t have a wallet so she put the money in a little pencil case where she kept her coins. She immediately felt better. I feel rich and thank you for being a good friend she said and we were both a bit teary. The reason for passing this on is not to praise any generosity on my part but to show the power of random acts of kindness. I went home and remembered a little wallet I had that I39。d never used and thought I39。ll give that to my friend. I opened it and inside found $100. The universe is very just and if your heart is open the reward always es.（1）What did the 1937 crown coin from the author39。s father mean to her mother?
