30、 how the ancient Egyptians built the pyramids near Cairo.But a new study suggests they used a little rocknroll.Longago builders could have attached wooden poles to the stones and rolled them across the sand,the scientists say.“Technically,I think what theyre proposing is possible.”physicist Daniel B
31、onn said.People have long puzzled over how the Egyptians moved such huge rocks.And theres no obvious answer.On average,each of the two million big stones weighed about as much as a large pickup truck.The Egyptians somehow moved the stone blocks to the pyramid site from about one kilometre away.The m
32、ost popular view is that Egyptian workers slid the blocks along smooth paths.Many scientists suspect workers first would have put the blocks on sleds(滑板).Then they would have dragged them along paths.To make the work easier,workers may have lubricated the paths either with wet clay or with the fat f
33、rom cattle.Bonn has now tested this idea by building small sleds and dragging heavy objects over sand.Evidence from the sand supports this idea.Researchers found small amounts of fat,as well as a large amount of stone and the remains of paths.However,physicist Joseph West thinks there might have bee
34、n a simpler way,who led the new study.West said,“I was inspired while watching a television programme showing how sleds might have helped with pyramid construction.I thought,Why dont they just try rolling the things?”A square could be turned into a rough sort of wheel by attaching wooden poles to it
35、s sides,he realised.That,he notes,should make a block of stone“a lot easier to roll than a square”So he tried it.He and his students tied some poles to each of four sides of a 30kilogram stone block.That action turned the block into somewhat a wheel.Then they placed the block on the ground.They wrap
36、ped one end of a rope around the block and pulled.The researchers found they could easily roll the block along different kinds of paths.They calculated that rolling the block required about as much force as moving it along a slippery(滑的)path.West hasnt tested his idea on larger blocks,but he thinks
37、rolling has clear advantages over sliding.At least,workers wouldnt have needed to carry cattle fat or water to smooth the paths.【语篇解读】本文讲述的是对金字塔石块运输方式的研究。大多数研究人员认为古埃及人可能是把石块放在滑板上滑至目的地。现在还有人认为古埃及人还有可能是在巨石四周捆绑木棒,然后将石块滚至目的地。12Its widely believed that the stone blocks were moved to the pyramid site by A

40、iding on smooth roads is more dangerous.D.Because less preparation on paths is needed for rolling.D细节理解题。根据文章最后一句“At least,workers wouldnt have needed to carry cattle fat or water to smooth the paths.”可知,利用木棒将巨石滚至目的地的方法可以省去工人们的准备工作。故选D项。15What is the text mainly about?AAn experiment on ways of movin

43、6 This is more of a responsibility and a source of pressure. 17 In ancient times,Laoting clay figurines were mainly childrens toys made by countryside artists.After the founding of the Peoples Republic of China in 1949,there were several workshops in villages in Laoting County and the production rea
44、ched a high level,but the prices were too low. 18 However,for a long period,many clay artists relied on making and selling clay figurines at those poor prices to make ends meet.Nowadays,shopping malls are full of highend toys,so the Laoting clay figurines have gradually fallen out of favor. 19 Zhao

48、he goal of building “a beautiful China”【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。介绍了河北省乐亭县的非物质文化遗产泥塑及传承人赵玉明,以及乐亭泥塑从古到今的发展历史。因为没有多少经济效益,如今泥塑面临着后继无人的困境。在经济发展迅速的今天,人们逐渐意识到保护和传承传统文化遗产的重要性。16A由此处语境以及空后句中的“a responsibility”,“a source of pressure”可知A项中的an honor与此呼应,其中的not only与空后句中的more of相对应,故选A项。17D设空处在第二段段首,为该段的主题句,接下来都在介绍泥塑的发展历史

69、with a higher IQ are more likely to live a longer life.Researchers analysed data from the Scottish Mental Surveysin which almost every 11yearold in Scotland was given the same IQ test on the same day in 1932and tracked the participants lives up to when they passed away.Even when factors such as econ
70、omic status and employment level were accounted for,the smarter kids ended up living longer than those with lower IQs.These results relate to several previous studies that have found a link between IQ and mortality(死亡率)when other factors were left out.We dont yet understand why this is the case,but
71、there are some interesting hypotheses(假设):one is that intelligent people are more likely to strap themselves(系上安全带)in while driving,choose to eat a healthy diet,avoid smoking,and exercise more often.Whalley and Deary found that those with a higher IQ were more likely to quit smoking after its negati
72、ve health effects were published in the 1950s.In other words,smart people might just be better at avoiding things that are going to kill them.Another hypothesis is that a high IQ is a symbol of a strong constitution and a body thats going to lastits essentially a symbol rather than a cause,some scie
73、ntists believe.One study published in 2005 found that better reaction times specifically helped people live longerso a high IQ is possibly an sign of an efficient nervous system,rather than being itself a cause of longer life,the researchers proposed.Its a complicated area of science,particularly as
