No one knows for sure where she was born or where she died. For years, archaeologists have been trying to find the queen s burial place.Now a B
16、ritish archaeologist says he may have the answer. Nicholas Reeves thinks the queens body may be hidden inside the tomb of Egypts most famous ruler: Tutankhamen, better known as King Tut.Nefertiti is believed to have ruled Egypt more than 3,300 years ago, shortly before King Tut became pharaoh (ruler
17、 of ancient Egypt) at about age 9. Some experts think the famous boy king was Nefertitis stepson.Tuts tomb was discovered in 1922. Filled with gold statues and other treasures, the tomb and Tut have fascinated people around the world ever since. In 2009, archaeologists began to build a replica (复制品)
18、 of Tuts tomb. Visitors can now see Tuts burial place without damaging the original. As part of that project, researchers used a special scanner to take detailed pictures of the walls of the tomb.When Reeves studied the scans, some strange markings caught his eye. He saw what looked like the outline
19、s of two doors that had been painted over. Reeves thinks these doors could lead to two secret chambersincluding the tomb of Nefertiti. He says the paintings around the doors are a clue that Nefertiti was buried there. His theory is that the chamber where Tut is buried may have been added to Nefertit
20、is tomb after the young king died suddenly at about age 19.Some archaeologists believe Nefertitis tomb could hold treasures even more amazing than those found in Tut s.Reeves hopes to take the next step in finding out whether thats true this month. With the help of Egyptian archaeologists, he plans
21、to use high-tech scanning equipment to “see” through the walls without damaging them. That may let Reeves know what, if anything, is hidden there.“If Im wrong, I m wrong,” he told The Economist Magazine. “But if Im right, this is potentially the biggest archaeological discovery ever made.”19.

25、ence on peoples mental well-being, a study has suggested. UK researchers found moving to a green space had a lasting positive effect, unlike pay rises or promotions, which only provided a short-term boost. Co-author Mathew White, from the European Centre for Environment and Human Health at the Unive
26、rsity of Exeter, UK, explained that the study showed people living in greener urban areas were displaying fewer signs of depression or anxiety. There could be a number of reasons, he said, for example, people do many things to make themselves happier: they try hard for promotion or pay rises, or the
27、y get married. But the trouble with all those things is that within six months to a year, people are back to their original baseline levels of well-being. So, these things dont make us happy in the long term. We found that for some lottery (彩票)winners who had won more than $500,000 the positive effe
28、ct was definitely there, but after six months to a year, they were back to the baseline. Dr. White said his team wanted to see whether living in greener urban areas had a lasting positive effect on peoples sense of well-being or whether the effect also disappeared after a period of time. To do this,
29、 the team used data from the British Household Panel Survey by the University of Essex. Explaining what the data revealed, he said: What you see is that even after three years, mental health is still better, which is unlike many of the other things that we think will make us happy. He observed that
30、people living in green spaces were less stressed, and less stressed people made more sensible decisions and communicated better. With a growing body of evidence establishing a link between urban green spaces and a positive influence on human well-being. Dr. White said, “Theres growing interest among
31、 public policy officials, but the trouble is who funds it. What we really need at a policy level is to decide where the money will come from to help support good quality local green spaces.”23. According to one study, what do green spaces do to people?A. Help them build a positive attitude towards l
32、ife.B. Lessen their concerns about material well-being.C. Improve their work efficiency.D. Add to their lasting happiness.24. What does Dr. White try to find out about living in a greener urban area?A. How long its positive effect lasts. B. How strong its effect is.C. How it affects different people
33、. D. How it benefits physically.25. What did Dr. White research reveal about people living in a green environment?A. Their memories were greatly strengthened. B. Their stress was more obvious than real.C. Their communication with others improved.D. Their decisions required less consideration.26. Acc
34、ording to Dr. White, what should the government do to build more green spaces in cities?A. Improve urban planning.B. Find financial support.C. Raise public awareness of the issue.D. Involve local residents in the effort.DIn 1875, hundreds of Peruvian railroad workers began coming down with a strange
35、 fever, which was followed by severe joint pain and then death. As the body count increased, alarm set in across the country. Desperate to explain the origins of this strange new disease, a Peruvian medical society announced a contest. A 26-year-old medical student named Daniel Carrion entered.Scien
36、tists in Peru predicted the fever was connected to Peruvian warts(疣). But they struggled to prove a link. To Carrion, whose father was a well-known physician, there was a simple solution. If someone injected him with tissue from a wart on one of the sick patients, and he got sick, then the problem w
37、as solvedthere was the connection. But there was another problem: Those who got the fever generally died.Carrion was undeterred. Once he made the decision that experimentation on a human was necessary, he must have asked himself: On whom?” wrote Lawrence K. Altman, a physician. “Carrion answered tha
38、t question in the only way his conscience(良心) would allow: Myself.” He got the fever. And he died.Altmans book is titled Who Goes First?” Its a question thats been asked throughout history when scientists have been faced with a serious new illness.In the race to discover how disease spreads and what
39、 treatments might stop it, someone has to be tested first. That someone is often the doctor in the white coat. Historically, self experimentation was an important part of the scientific process, allowing medical advances that would have been hard to achieve otherwise, wrote two researchers in a 2018
40、 paper titled Adventures in self experimentation.In more modem times, vaccines (疫苗) are tested on animals for months and often years before reaching humans. Throughout history, though, impatient and desperate scientists decided to throw their own necks in the ring.Twelve self-experimenters have won
41、Nobel Prizes for their efforts. Carrion didnt t live to see fame. But his bravery is immortal(不朽的).27. What was the purpose of the contest declared by a Peruvian medical society?A. To find promising medical students.B. To find out the cause of a new disease.C. To compete for an opportunity to work w
42、ith a famous physician.D. To learn from each other by exchanging views on strange diseases.28. What does the underlined word “undeterred” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A. Uneducated. B. Unfortunate. C. Energetic. D. Determined29. What did the two researchers suggest in Paragraph 5?A. Medical advances
43、 are very hard to achieve nowadays.B. Modern scientists turn their back on self experimentation.C. Scientific progress goes hand in hand with medical advances.D. Self-experimenters have made great contributions to medical advances.30. Which of the following would be the best title for the text?A. Va
44、ccines help scientists win Nobel PrizesB. A new book about Peruvian warts will be publishedC. Scientists risked death testing vaccines on themselvesD. Self experimentation has both advantages and disadvantages七选五（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）Whats in a logo? What attracts customers? 31. It is not only the image
45、 provided by the packaging that counts but the whole corporate identity (企业形象) of the company.There are now many products and services on the market which are similar in content though produced by different companies. It is important, therefore, for a company to distinguish itself from its competito
46、rs by having a strong company image which is immediately recognizable.Logos are part of this image. 32. The logo establishes a visual identity for the company, just as different groups of young people express their identity through hairstyles and clothes. All groups from all cultures and throughout
47、the ages have used colors and symbols to show their identity. 33. Some colors may be connected with coldness in one culture and with warmth in another; some colors stand for life in one culture but death in another. International companies have, therefore, to make sure that their logos will not be m
48、isunderstood or misinterpreted in different countries.The logos of large international companies are instantly recognizable throughout the world. 34. The design of the words “Coca Cola” has not changed since 1886, although the surrounding design has been changed from time to time. Companies need to
49、have a strong corporate identity. The logo helps to promote this image and to fix it in the minds of the consumers. 35. A. There was a time when Coca Cola was struggling a bit with brand recognition.B. One of the most famous logos is that of Coca Cola.C. In different cultures, different colors carry
50、 different meanings.D. Logos, therefore, need to be original and to have impact and style.E. Colour isnt a strictly visual element; its very psychological.F. They are symbols which often include a name or the first letters of it to identify a company.G. Obviously the quality of a product does, but v
