9、 is of a Greek soldier. When asked how a statue from distant Greece could have appeared in China, researchers explained that no doubt this was a result of Alexander the Greats influence.Alexander the Great (356323 BC) was the son of a Greek king who defeated many Greek cities in battle. At the age o
10、f twenty, Alexander himself became king after his father died. However, many cities rose up against Alexander, so he led an army to take them back. Though his army had only 3,000 troops, he won every battle and many enemy soldiers joined him.In 334 BC, he took his army, now with 42,000 men, into the
11、 Middle East and then Egypt, defeating every army that stood in his path. Then he turned his eyes east, and marched all the way to India, finding victory wherever he went. It seemed that nothing could stop him from taking control of the entire world. However, his own army grew tired of endless battl
12、es and refused to go any further, so he had to turn back. By the age of thirty, he had already occupied more land than anyone before, and it seemed that more glory was waiting ahead of him. Yet, in 323 BC, he came down with a fever and died. Since he had no son, his generals divided his vast kingdom
13、 among themselves.Alexander the Great spread the Greek culture from Europe to Africa and Asia, influencing the world for centuries to come. The statue of the Greek soldier found in northern Xinjiang probably came to China in the 4th century BC as a result of trade. Like many other ancient objects th

15、h？The father of Western philosophy was Socrates(469399 BC)Socrates was from Athens, in Greece. When he was young, he was a brave soldier. Later, he became a teacher, but he taught for free and earned his salary from being a common worker. Aside from this, we know very little about him. Since he neve
16、r wrote a book, we also know very little about his philosophy. Yet, Socrates has had a deep influence on Western thought and science.To understand how this can be true, we must understand how Socrates taught. Socrates taught by asking questions. Through this, he challenged his students to develop an
17、d explain their own arguments. In many cases, his questions made his students aware of their own errors. Many students got embarrassed and even angry when this happened, while others changed their opinions. Socrates way of approaching the truth is now called the Socratic Method. The idea of asking q
18、uestions until you reach the right answer is the basis of modern philosophy and science.Unfortunately for him, Socrates questioned too much. He always asked challenging questions to everyone he met, upsetting many people in Athens. Finally, some people had had enough of him, so they took him to cour

20、ecame the hero of all people who search for the truth.新疆发现古希腊雕塑研究者公布了最近在中国新疆北部一个小雕像的发现。这个金属雕像是个希腊士兵。当被问及这个来自遥远的希腊的雕像如何出现在中国时，研究者解释说，这无疑是亚历山大大帝的影响所致。亚历山大大帝(公元前356公元前323年)是曾攻取了很多希腊城市的希腊国王的儿子。二十岁时，在他父亲死后他成为希腊国王。然而，很多城市起义反对亚历山大，因此，他率领一支部队又把它们夺了回来。尽管他的部队只有三千人，但他屡战屡胜，因此很多敌军的士兵也加入进来。公元前334年，他率领当时已达到四万两千人的军
21、队进入中东，接着是埃及，兵锋所至，所向披靡。随后他把目光转向东方，长途行军来到印度，胜利一路相随。看起来没有什么可以阻止他称霸整个世界。然而，他的部队已经厌倦了这种无休止的战争，拒绝再往前走了。因此，他只能返回。到他三十岁的时候，他已经占领了比以前更多的土地，看起来，更大的荣耀正在前方等着他。然而，在公元前323年，他患病发高烧去世了。因为他没有儿子，他的将领们瓜分了他辽阔的王国。亚历山大大帝把希腊文明从欧洲带到非洲和亚洲，影响了接下来的几个世纪。这个在新疆北部发现的希腊士兵的雕像可能是在公元前四世纪由于贸易往来来到中国的。像很多其他的展示希腊文明的古代物品一样，现在你可以在乌鲁木齐的博物馆中
22、见到它。西方哲学之父“哲学”的意思是“爱智慧”。哲学可以被认为是看待我们周围世界的一种方式，或是用来回答一些生活中的大问题，诸如“我们为什么在这儿？”和“什么是真理？”西方哲学之父是苏格拉底(公元前469公元前399年)。苏格拉底来自希腊的雅典。当他年轻的时候，他是个勇敢的士兵。后来，他成为一名教师，但是他教学是免费的，他是通过当一名普通工人来挣薪水的。除了这些，我们对他知之甚少。因为他从没有写过书，我们对他的哲学思想也不太了解。然而，苏格拉底对西方的思想和科学确实产生了深远的影响。为了理解这是如何发生的，我们必须理解他是怎么教学的。苏格拉底通过提问来教学。通过这种方式，他使得学生形成和解释他
23、们自己的争论。在很多情况下，他的问题让学生们意识到自己的错误。当这种情况发生的时候，很多学生会感到很窘迫甚至愤怒，然而，其他人却改变了自己的观点。苏格拉底寻求真理的这种方法被称为苏格拉底法。提问直到你得到正确的答案是现代哲学和科学的基础。对他来说不幸的是，苏格拉底问得太多了。他总是向他遇见的每个人提些挑战性的问题，这令雅典的很多人感到不安。最后，一些人受够他了，于是便把他送上了法庭，罪名是质疑希腊众神的存在和腐蚀雅典的年轻人。在审判中，他通过向法官提更多的问题来为自己辩护。但这却让局势变得更糟糕。最后，他被迫喝下毒药而被处死。通过他的死，苏格拉底成为所有追求真理的人们心中的英雄。1(教材P58

52、他们都成功地登上Siula Grande。故B项正确。2A.difficult Bsimilar Cspecial Dnormal解析：选Adifficult“困难的”；similar“相似的”；special“特别的”；normal“正常的”。根据6空后“the weather got worse” 天气更糟糕了，说明在他们返回的路上情况变得很糟糕，很困难了。故A正确。3A.climbed Bworked Ccontinued Drested解析：选Cclimb“攀登”；work“工作，起作用”；rest“休息”；continue“继续”。Joe摔断了腿。如果 Simon独自一人继续返回，他
53、会安全到达营地。但是如果他想带着Joe一起回去，可能谁都无法安全返回。根据句意说明C正确。4A.unwillingly Bsafely Cslowly Dregretfully解析：选Bunwillingly“不愿意地”；safely“安全地”；slowly“慢慢地”；regretfully“遗憾地”。如果Simon独自一人继续返回，他会安全到达营地。故B正确。5A.life Btime Chealth Dfortune解析：选A从下文他帮助Joe一起回去，可知他冒着失去生命的危险，用登山绳帮助 Joe 下山。故A正确。6A.lay Bsettled Cwent Dlooked解析：选Clie
54、 down“躺下”；settle down“定居，解决”；go down“下降”；look down“看不起，向下看”。当他们两个人从山顶上向下返回的时候，天气变得更为糟糕了。7A.damage Btrouble Cchange Dstorm解析：选Bdamage“破坏”；trouble“麻烦事”；change“改变”；storm“暴风雨”。根据下一句“They couldnt see or hear each other”本来Joe受伤了，已经是一件很麻烦的事情了。他们相互之间看不见对方，对于他们来说这又是一件麻烦的事情。故B项正确。8A.by mistake Bby chance Cby
55、accident Dby luck解析：选Aby mistake“错误地”； by chance/by accident“偶然地”；by luck“侥幸”。根据下一句“Simon lowered his friend over the edge of a precipice”可知Simon错误地把Joe送到了峭壁边上。主要是因为他们看不见对方而导致的错误。9A.unnecessary Bpractical Cimpossible Dimportant解析：选Cunnecessary“不必要的”；practical“实用的”；impossible“不可能的”；important“重要的”。因为
56、Joe 的腿已经断了，所以他不可能自己爬上来。Simon根本看不见 Joe 也不可能会把他拉上来的。所以使用C项符合上下文串联。10A.height Bweight Cstrength Dequipment解析：选Bheight“高度”；weight“体重”；strength“力气”；equipment“设备”。根据“pulling Simon slowly towards the precipice.”可知Simon也被拉着向峭壁这边过来了，主要是因为Joe的体重。因为他们两个人系在一根绳了上，所以Joe拉着Simon向峭壁过去了。11A.Finally BPatiently CSurely
57、 DQuickly解析：选Afinally“最后，终于”；patiently“耐心地”；surely“确切地”；quickly“迅速地”。最后在黑暗里斗争了一个多小时以后，Simon 不得不做出了一个艰难的决定，砍断绳索。如果不砍断绳索，两个人都会死去。故A项符合上下文串联。12A.stand back Btake a rest Chold on Dmake a decision解析：选Dstand back“避开”；take a rest“休息”；hold on“坚持，别挂断”；make a decision“做出决定”。Simon不得不做出了一个艰难的决定，砍断绳索。如果不砍断绳索，两个人

59、；move“移动”；rush“奔跑”。从上文可知Joe已经摔断了腿，所以他不可能是奔跑，滑冰或者行军前进，他只能是在地上爬着前进。16A.around Babove Caway Dalong解析：选Caround“大约，四处”；away“在远处，离开”；above“在上面”；along“成行，沿着”。他只能是在地上爬着前进。朝着大约10英里之外的营地爬过去。away和具体的表示距离的名词连用，表示之外的地方。17A.headed for Btravelled Cleft for Dreturned to解析：选D短语 head for“朝过去”；travel“旅游”；leave for“出发去
60、某地”；return to“返回”。Simon把Joe丢下以后，他自己很快回到了营地。根据句意说明D项正确。18A.dead Bhurt Cweak Dlate解析：选Adead“死的”；hurt“受伤的”；weak“虚弱的”；late“迟的，晚的”。因为Joe 摔断了腿，而且又掉进冰裂缝，所以Simon认为他肯定无法幸存下来。所以使用A正确。19A.secretly Btiredly Cimmediately Danxiously解析：选Csecretly“秘密地”；tiredly“疲惫地”；immediately“立刻，马上”；anxiously“焦虑地”。虽然他认为Joe肯定死了，但是他
61、也不想立刻离开这个营地，就又在营地里住了下来。20A.find Baccept Cmake Dbelieve解析：选Dfind“发现”；believe“相信，认为”；make“生产，制作”；accept“接受”。三天以后在半夜里，当他听见Joe的声音时，他无法相信这竟然是真的，Joe竟然活下来。.阅读理解In the last 500 years nothing about people not their clothes, ideas or languages has changed as much as what they eat.
