Archaeology (考古学) isn't the dusty science it was a generation ago.New technologies that once seemed out
of science fiction are now locating buried traces of buildings and revealing the ruins of cities.
For more than a decade, Sarah Parcak and her team have been in the front line of this revolution.They use
satellite images to find and explore ancient sites around the globe.Now they're about to take on a new challenge as
they focus the GlobalXplorer citizenscience project on India.
In 2017, Parcak launched an online platform, called GlobalXplorer, to crowdsource ( 众包) the initial
assessment of satellite images for signs of cultures from long ago.Anyone in the world with a computer and Internet

During the “golden week” national holiday that began on October 1st, hundreds of thousands of sightseers
flocked to Lijiang, a picturesque historic town in the southwestern province of Yunnan. Among its attractions are
the symbols printed beneath the Chinese characters on road signs and shop fronts (Starbucks included). They are
Dongba pictographs, an ancient form of script (文字) that originated among the Naxi, a local ethnic group. It
almost died until about a decade ago, when local officials began to realize its value and covered the town with it.
Dongba was never widely used by the Naxi, of whom there are about 300，000 living in the Himalayan
foothills near Lijiang, as well as in Tibet and Sichuan Province. The pictographs, which evolved as early as the
seventh century, were developed by shamans (巫师) of the Dongba faith, which has roots in Tibet.
Over 20，000 of these religious records survive. They provide rich insight into how Naxi people thought
about war, geography, astronomy and agriculture. But they are extremely hard to read. Linguists are helped by the
area's Dongba priests (神职人员). There are about 600, most of them very old, including Yang Guoxing, who ran a
school from 2010 to 2015 to teach Dongba to children living in the mountains. When Mr. Yang was growing up,
everyone was too busy farming to learn it. “Now they are all busy soaking up the pop culture，” he says.
Signs at bus stations in rural Yunnan encourage locals to use written and spoken Chinese. But the Naxi get off
lightly compared with other ethnic minorities. Primary schools in Lijiang teach the Dongba script twice a week, as
well as Naxi nursery rhymes. Li Dejing, head of the Dongba Culture Research Institute, says this is not just about
keeping alive the pictographs, but letting children grasp “the very spirit of their own culture”. And this will also
help tourism to develop in Lijiang.
5．What do we know about the Dongba script?
A．It is widely used by local people.
B．It was a tool used by certain people.
C．It was quite popular at certain periods.
D．It has a history of more than 3，000 years.
6．According to Yang Guoxing, what makes it difficult to spread the Dongba script?
A．Only priests can read it.
B．It's extremely hard to read.
C．Its value hasn't been fully recognized.

B．Some tourists are invited to preserve it.

It's easy to imagine the Sahara as a lifeless and timeless place, where the merciless forces of nature rule over
any sense of human history. However, that's far from the truth. Some corners of the Western Sahara, found along
the northwestern coast of Africa, are littered with hundreds of ancient stone monuments from centuries worth of
human culture, some of which date back to over 10，000 years ago.
Between 2002 and 2009, the Western Sahara Project, led by the University of East Anglia in the UK,
documented the archaeology (考古学) and environment of northwestern Sahara around the town of Tifariti. The
monuments come in a variety of forms and were constructed by a number of different cultures across the centuries.
Many appear to be little more than long rows of piled rocks, while others are purposefully placed large stones
standing proudly in a circular pattern. Others are 5meterhigh (16 feet) dry stone wall constructions that could have
only been built by human hands.
It's unclear what most of the monuments are meant to represent, although most are assumed to be burial
mounds (墓冢), used as part of a funerary ceremony, or sign at the presence of a grave. This desire to construct
burial mounds is something that can be found in countless cultures across the planet, from the Scythians of ancient
Siberia to the seafaring Vikings of northern Europe, and it looks like the ancient people of Western Sahara were not
different.
For one reason or another, this natural basin area managed to remain a place of human activity over the
millennia, especially when times became tough in the surrounding areas. “One of our theories is that as the Sahara
更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂dried between five and six thousand years ago — this is one of the shelter, an area where water remained，”
Joanne Clarke, prehistoric archaeologist at the University of East Anglia, told Atlas Obscura.
9．How were the monuments constructed?
A．They are in different shapes.
B．They are piled up on one another.
C．They took about 500 years to complete.
D．Most of them are parallel to each other.
10．What will the researchers probably focus on about the monuments in future?
A．The way to build burial mounds.
B．The symbols of different monuments.
C．The original appearances of the monuments.
D．Their difference between the Sahara and other regions.
11．What does Joanne Clarke think of the Sahara in history?
A．It was the mere source of water in that area.
B．It used to be a shelter from sufferings for people.
C．People used to hold various activities in its honour.
D．It shouldn't have dried five and six thousand years ago.
12．What does the text mainly talk about?
A．The Sahara used to be a heaven for every culture.
B．The Sahara is really a lifeless and timeless place.
C．The burial bounds represent different cultures in the Sahara.
D．The Western Sahara is covered with mysterious ancient stone monuments.

（安徽·高考真题）Argentina in the late nineteenth century was an exciting place.Around 1870,it was
experiencing an economic(经济的)boom,and the capital,Buenos Aires,attracted many people.Farmers,as well as a
flood of foreigners from Spain and Italy,came to Buenos Aires seeking jobs.These jobs didn’t pay well,and the
people felt lonely and disappointed with their new life in the city.As the unhappy newcomers mixed together in the
poor parts of the city,the dance known as the tango(探戈舞) came into being.
At the beginning the tango was a dance of the lower classes.It was danced in the bars and streets.At that time
there were many fewer women than men,so if a man didn’t want to be left out,his only choice was to dance with
another man so that he could attract the attention of the few available women.Gradually,the dance spread into the
upper classes of Argentinean society and became more respectable.
In Europe at this time,strong interest in dance from around the world was beginning.This interest in
international dance was especially evident in Paris.Every kind of dance from ballet(芭蕾舞) to belly dancing could
be found on the stages of the Paris theaters.After tango dancers from Argentina arrived in Europe,they began to
draw the interest of the public as they performed their exciting dance in cafes.Though not everyone approved of the
new dance,saying it was a little too shocking,the dance did find enough supporters to make it popular.
The popularity(流行) of the tango continued to grow in many other parts of the world.Soldiers who returned to
the United States from World War Ⅰ brought the tango to North America.It reached Japan in 1926,and in 2003 the
Argentinean embassy in Seoul hired a local tango dancer to act as a kind of dance ambassador,and promote tango

（江西·高考真题） New archaeological discovers suggest that trade between Europe and Asia along the Silk
Road probably began in some form many countries earlier than once thought. The findings, coupled with a
widening range of scientific and historical research, could add a fascinating new page to the epic of the Silk Road.
The latest and most surprising discovery is pieces of silk found in the hair of an Egyptian mummy from about
1000 BC, long before regular traffic on the Silk Road and at least one thousand years before silk was previously
thought to be used in Egypt. Other research may extend human activity along this route back even further, perhaps
a million years to the migration of human ancestors into eastern Asia.
The official origin of East-West commerce along the road is usually placed in the late 2nd century BC when an
agent of the Chinese Emperor Wu-di returned from a dangerous secret mission (使命) across the desert into the
remote high country of Central Asia. The agent, Zhang Qian, travelled as far as Afghanistan and brought back
knowledge of even more distant lands such as Persia, Syria and a place known as Lijien, perhaps Rome. Historians
更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂have called this one of the most important journeys in ancient times. His journey opened the way for what have
been thought to be the first indirect contacts between the ancient world’s two superpowers, China and Rome.
Chinese silk, first traded to central Asian tribes for war horses and to the Parthians of old Persia in exchange for
acrobats and ostrich eggs, was soon finding its way through a network of merchants to the luxury markets of Rome.
But the new discoveries show that Chinese silk was apparently present in the West long before the Han
emperor started organized trade over the Silk Road. The research could change thinking about the early history of
world trade and provide insights into the mystery of just how and when Europe and the Mediterranean lands first
became aware of the glorious culture at the other end of Eurasia.
5．The word “coupled” in the first paragraph could best be replaced by ______.
A．produced B．contributed C．doubled D．combined
6．The silk thread found in the hair of an Egyptian mummy suggests that ______.
A．Egyptians had probably travelled to China to buy silk
B．trade along the Silk Road began earlier than once thought
C．historical research often achieves fascinating results
D．new light can now be thrown on ancient trading practices
7．Until recently most historians believed that trade along the Silk Road _______.
A．originated in the 2nd century BC
B．extended human migration into eastern Asia
C．began a million years ago
D．primarily benefited the Egyptians
8．Historians have always considered Zhang Qian’s mission important because they believe ______.
A．he brought back knowledge of Rome to the emperor B．he discovered the Silk Road
C．he helped establish East-West trade D．he travelled as far as Afghanistan
