25、724, he banished his wife and made Wu a royal concubine.“Although she was only a concubine, she was treated as an empress with palace etiquette，” explained Shi Xiaoqun, director of relics collection for Shaanxi History Museum. “Tang Xuanzong even wanted to make her his empress but was opposed by the
26、 ministers.”The emperor had thousands of concubines in his palace in Changan (now called Xian, capital of Shaanxi province) but, according to Shi, he only loved Wu, the mother of seven of his children.Wu died in the December of AD 737 at the age of 40 and was interred in Jingling Mausoleum.

28、the west of Pangliu village, which is part of Xians Changan district.The recovered sarcophagus(石棺) is 4 meters long, 2 meters wide and 2 meters tall and is decorated with flowers and maiden figures, which archaeologists say is a rare cultural relic of high scientific, historical and artistic value.
29、In ancient times, a sarcophagus was used to house wood coffins in order to preserve the body of the noble person.“ I knew it was precious but I didnt know it was so beautiful，” said Han Qinglong, who headed the team that brought the relic back to China four years after it was stolen and sold abroad
30、by tomb raiders.【语篇解读】 历史上武惠妃受到唐玄宗的宠爱并产生巨大影响，死后更享有一般妃子无法企及的殊荣。这一点从发掘出的武惠妃的陵墓和其石棺的豪华程度就可以窥见一斑。36The underlined word “ banished” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to “_”Akilled Bremoved Cdivorced Dpersuaded解析词义猜测题。根据上下文判断，唐玄宗如此宠爱武惠妃所以他赶走皇后，想立武惠妃做皇后。banish在本句中有“驱逐，赶走”之意。答案B37The passage mainly focus

33、 she was given much honor after her death.解析由第三段最后一句可知，由于群臣反对，武惠妃没能被册封为皇后。答案A39We can infer from the passage that the sarcophagus of Wu Huifei_.Ahas been well preserved in Jingling MausoleumBis used to hold her bodyCis a symbol of her high status at that timeDwas sold abroad four years ago解析推理判断题。根据
34、文章倒数第二段中对武惠妃石棺的描述可推知武惠妃的石棺是那时她崇高地位的象征。答案CBBack in the old days, there were three wise men in ancient Greece. These three wise men were from three different generations. Socrates was the oldest of the three. He passed his knowledge lo his student, Plato, who then passed it on to Aristotle. Socraies,
35、Plato, and Aristotle were all great philosophers(哲学家)Together, their schools of thought have since become the foundation of Western philosophy.Aristotle was born in 384 BC.His father, Nicomachus, was a doctor to the king of Macedonia.As the son of a doctor, Aristotle was no stranger to science. Grow
36、ing up, he learned quite a lot about medicine and biology from his father. Later, after Nicomachus passed away, he was sent to study in Platos Academy in Athens. Aristotle was about eighteen years old then.Platos Academy was Europes first university. It offered courses on various subjects. Shortly a
37、fter Aristotle began his study there, he devoted himself to learning everything on the curriculum.

Philosophy w
38、as simply one of them.Aristotle was in the Academy for nearly 20 years. He first joined as a student and then stayed on as a teacher. By the time that Plato died around 347 BC., Aristotle had already built up a very good name for himself. However, he did not get the job as the head of the Academy. T
39、hat post went to Platos nephew. Some people believed that Aristotle felt angry at the choice. But there is no proof to that theory. Regardless of what he had truly felt, Aristotle decided to leave Athens. So in 347 BC., he quit the Academy and went to work for Hermeias, ruler of Atameus, in Asia Min
40、or (todays Turkey). Aristotle was not alone in this time. He and another Academy member, Xenocrates, who was also a famous philosopher, founded the Assus Academy. They taught there for several years. During his stay in Atarneus, Aristotle was on very good terms with Hermeias. He even married the man
41、s niece, Pythias. Interestingly, when Aristotle later wrote his famous book, Politics, he said that the ideal ages for marriage was 37 for the husband and 18 for the wife. Given that Aristotle was 37 years old at the time, it is very likely that Pythias was 18.【语篇解读】 本文介绍了古希腊著名哲学家亚里士多德的生平。40Which of
