21、Ancient builders across the world created structures that are still standing today, thousands of years later. Roman builders built thick concrete sea barriers against waves. Mayan builders created great sculptures, and Chinese builders constructed walls against foreign enemies.

A growing number of scientists have been studying materials since a long time ago. They are breaking apart pieces of buildings and reading historical texts hoping to learn how they have stood for thousands of years. The research has turned up a surprising list of materials that were mixed into old buildings. They include tree bark, volcanic ash, rice and beer. These unexpected materials can have the ability to get stronger over time. Figuring out how to copy these features can have real impacts today. While some of our modern concrete has the strength to hold up very tall buildings and heavy structures, it cannot compete with the durability of these ancient materials.

Many scientists have turned to the Romans. Starting around 200 BC, the Roman Empire was building concrete structures that have stood the test of time. Even in places where seawater has been hitting structures for ages, you will find concrete basically the way it was when it was poured 2,000 years ago. They think they have found an important reason why some Roman concrete has held up structures for thousands of years. That the ancient materials have an unusual power to restore themselves and “cure” cracks (裂缝) when they form is the most shocking for them. Exactly how is not yet clear, but scientists are starting to find the reasons.

Today’s builders cannot just copy the ancient processes. Even though Roman concrete lasted a long time, it couldn’t hold up heavy buildings. Instead, researchers are trying to take some of the ancient materials and add them into modern mixes. People don’t need to make things last quite as long as the Romans did. If we add 50 or 100 years to concrete’s lifespan, we’ll surely require less pulling down, less maintenance and less material in the long run.

【1】What were the mentioned Roman and Chinese buildings both used for?

A．Travel.

B．Defence.

C．Soldier training.

D．Seawater control.

【2】Which word can best describe the ancient buildings?

A．Long-lasting.

B．Energy-efficient.

C．Delicate.

D．Flexible.

【3】What surprises the scientists most about the ancient building materials?

A．Their large cracks.

B．Their clear concrete.

C．Their internal structures.

D．Their self-repairing ability.

【4】What is the author’s attitude to the future concrete?

A．Tolerant.

B．Expectant.

C．Suspicious.

D．Indifferent.

22、You either have it, or you don’t –a sense of direction, that is. But why is it that some people could find their way across the Sahara without a map, while others can lose themselves in the next street?

Scientists say we’re all born with a sense of direction, but it is not properly understood how it works. One theory is that people with a good sense of direction have simply worked harder at developing it. Research being carried out at Liverpool University supports this idea and suggests that if we don’t use it, we lose it .

“Children as young as seven have the ability to find their way around.” says Jim Martland. Research Director of the project. “However if they are not allowed out alone or are taken everywhere by car, they never develop the skills”

Jim Martland also emphasizes that young people should be taught certain skills to improve their sense of direction. He makes the following suggestions.

●If you are using a map, turn it so it relates to the way you are facing.

●If you leave your bike in a strange place, put it near something like a big stone or a tree. Note landmarks on the route as you go away from your bike. When you return, go back along the same route

●Simplify the way of finding your direction by using lines such as streets in a town, streams, or walls in the countryside to guide you. Count your steps so that you know how far you have gone and note any landmarks such as tower blocks or hills which can help to find out where you are.

Now you need never get lost again!

【1】What is true of seven-year-old children according to the passage?

A．They never have a sense of direction without maps.

B．They have a sense of direction and can find their way around.

C．They should never be allowed out alone if they lack a sense of direction.

D．They can develop a good sense of direction if they are driven around in a car.

【2】If you leave your bike in a strange place, you should ________.

A．remember something easily recognizable on the route

B．draw a map of the route to help remember where it is

C．avoid taking the same route when you come back in it

D．tie it to a tree so as to prevent it from being stolen

【3】According to the passage the best way to find your way around is to ________.

A．ask policemen for directions

B．count the number of landmarks that you see.

C．use walls, streams, and streets to guide yourself .

D．remember your route by looking out for steps and stairs.

23、Amazon Alert

The Amazon rain forest stretches about 2.7 million square miles. It has been described as the “lungs of our planet”. More than 20% of the planet’s oxygen is produced there! The Amazon holds one-fifth of the world’s freshwater supply. The tropical forests in the heart of the Amazon basin are full of many different kinds of life. They hold the world’s widest variety of life, and are also home to many species found nowhere else. This area is one of the world’s natural treasures. But unless nations around the world take action, it will disappear.

Every year, the rain forest in the Amazon is shrinking. Farmers and builders are clearing the land, usually by burning down the forest. This destruction reached record levels in the 1990s and has remained steady since then. In 2003, an estimated 9,170 square miles were burned or cleared.

The Amazon River basin stretches into the countries of Ecuador, Peru, and Bolivia, but the bulk of it is in Brazil. Loggers, miners, and farmers in Brazil have been rapidly cutting down the Amazon since the 1960s. South American farmers and settlers burn the rain forest to clear the land. The land is used to grow crops and raise livestock or for new towns. Satellite photos show how the forest continues to shrink.

The government of Brazil has pledged time and again to slow down the clearing of land. However, they have not done enough to stop illegal burning and logging. But it's not just Brazil's problem. The Amazon is a treasure for all of humanity. Other countries, including the United States, must do more to help Brazil preserve the Amazon.

In order to protect the area, the Central Amazon Conservation Complex in Brazil was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2000. The heritage site makes up the largest protected area in the Amazon Basin (over 6 million hectares). The rain forest is over 55 million years old. There are still many parts of the Amazon that no one has ever been to, and many species that no one has ever seen.

Fact File

Mathematics grammar and syntax（句法），like vocabulary, are___. No matter what country you're from or what language you speak, the stricture of the mathematical language is the same. Formulas （公式） are always read from left to right.

Understanding how mathematical sentences work is ___when you learn math. Students often find numbers and symbols frightening, so putting an equation into a familiar language makes the subject __.

In this way, math helps people learn and communicate, even if other coimmunostain obstacles exist.

Of course, not everyone agrees that mathematics is a language. Some definitions describe "language” as a spoken form of communication. Therefore, some people____mathematics as it is definitely a written form of expression.

Sign language,____. would be invalid based on this standard. In fact most linguists accept sign language as a true language. Also, there are a handful of dead languages that no one alive knows how to even _____ anymore.

A strong _____ for mathematics as a language is that modern elementary-high school curricula use____from language education for teaching mathematics.
