It won39。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. 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. 【點(diǎn)評(píng)】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解，推理判斷和主旨大意三個(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。文章主要講述了作者在主持節(jié)目過(guò)程中遇到的一些朋友和導(dǎo)師，他們積極樂(lè)觀的態(tài)度以及對(duì)作者的信任，給作者帶來(lái)了力量，讓作者也變得更加積極主動(dòng)，從而邁向一個(gè)接一個(gè)的目標(biāo)。故選C。 （3）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。可知，當(dāng)被告知Connie的決定時(shí)，作者的媽媽對(duì)作者將接受Connie Chung指導(dǎo)的事情沒(méi)有當(dāng)回事。根據(jù)第五段中的Without looking up, she just said 39。故選A。 （1）考查推理判斷。D.My Goal in CareerC.The Strength of PositivityD.To escape punishment.C.To broaden his view.She didn39。t believe it.C.B.She felt excited.s mother react when told about Connie39。D.He was waiting to be interviewed.B.He was preparing for a show.
