The Unexplained Mystery of Pyramid
The Pyramids in Egypt are really something special. We still don’t really know how the Egyptians built the largest pyramid at all, known as the Great Pyramid of Cheops (or Khufu), some 5,000 years ago. Remember, this was even before the invention of the wheel.
The most famous pyramids are the Egyptian pyramids — huge structures built of brick or stone, some of which are among the world’s largest constructions. The age of the pyramids reached its top at Giza in 2575-2150 B.C. In 2008, some 138 pyramids have been discovered in Egypt. The Great Pyramid of Giza is the largest in Egypt and one of the largest in the world. Until Lincoln Cathedral in England was finished in AD 1311, it was the tallest building in the world. The base is over 52,600 square meters in area. While pyramids are associated(关联的) with Egypt, the nation of Sudan has 220 extant pyramids, the most numerous in the world.
In the 1940s, a radio engineer named Karel Drbal claimed(声称) that small pyramids of a 1:1,000 scale as the Great Pyramid could sharpen knives. His explanation was that the pyramid shape focuses energy when precisely aligned (精确对齐) on the north-south axis (轴), which can renew steel.
Though the claims of Drbal and others, there is no scientific evidence that Pyramids have power. It is a cut and dry myth, probably driven by the nature of pyramids and their ancient, unexplained mysteries.
As the neurologist (神经学家) Terence Hines wrote: “People became quite crazy about Pyramid Power in the world of pseudoscience for a time in the mid-1970s. Actually, the idea was that the pyramidal shape itself was magical and filled with a mysterious energy and power.”
【1】When did the pyramids develop the best?
A.in 2575-2150 B.C B.In 2008 C.in AD 1311
【2】Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage?
A.The Great Pyramid of Giza is the tallest building in the world before AD 1311.
B.Sudan has the more extant pyramids than any other country in the world.
C.Lincoln Cathedral was built earlier than The Great Pyramid of Giza.
【3】What does the underline word evidence mean in the passage?
A.方法 B.证据 C.痕迹
【4】According to Karel Drbal __________.
A.the small pyramids of a 1:1,000 scale as the Great Pyramid are very sharp. ‘
B.the small pyramids of a 1:1,000 scale as the Great Pyramid can renew steel.
C.the Great Pyramid of a 1:1,000 scale as the small Pyramid could sharpen knives.
【5】__________ can be inferred (推断) from the passage.
A.Pyramids have magic
B.Pyramids are mysteries
C.Pyramids belong to Egypt
25、As the word becomes increasingly populated , It is also Becoming alarmingly polluted . Fortunately , there are many ways that you can help deal with the negative effects that we impose(施加)on the environment . One of these is driving an electric car.
Electric cars produce about 80 pe rcent less pollution than cars with gas-powered motors. In fact, the only reason that electric cars produce any pollution at all is that their electric energy is produced by power plants-electric cars themselves produce no waste. When energy comes from large sources such as power plants, it’s easier to control, so there’s less waste than if the energy is produced by many smaller sources, such as the gas engines in individual cars.
Furthermore, electric cars are simply more efficient than gas-powered cars for several reasons. First, electric cars have regenerative braking, which means that when you use the brakes in an electric car , the battery has a chance to recharge (再充电).On the contrary , when you brake in a gas-powered car ,you actually use energy . Also, during the production of electric cars, more time and energy is spent making the design lighter and more aerodynamic so that there will be less drag(阻力) from the wind. This allows then to travel farther using less energy than a gas-powered car would use to go the same distance.
In addition to the environmental benefits of driving electric cars , there are also financial and time-saving benefits for the drivers . For one , they cost less to maintain (维修). The cost of charging an electric car is about 20 percent of the cost of gas, and electric cars require far less maintenance than gas-powered cars . This is due , in part , to the fact that electric cars have no cooling system , fan belts , radiators , hoses , or oil-just a battery . There are fewer moving parts overall , so there are fewer possible problems . Also , after the body of an electric car gives out , the engine can be reused in another body . Electric cars can also save people time . While gas-powered cars require visits to a mechanic every few months , the only routine maintenance required by electric cars is replacing the battery every four years.
Overall , there are numerous benefits of driving an electric car . Tt may take a little getting used to , but in the long run , the use of electric cars can help preserve the environment and give people more time and money to be put to better use.
【1】What can we learn from the second paragraph?
A. Less than 80 percent pollution is produced by cars.
B. Gas-powered cars get energy from power stations.
C. Electric cars themselves don’t produce any waste.
D. It’s difficult to control energy from power plants.
【2】According to the passage , which of the following is TRUE?
A. The battery can be reused after the body of an electric car gives out.
B. Replacing the engine every four years is required for an electric car .
C. It may take no time to see the popularity of driving electric cars.
D. Electric cars cost less to maintain because of fewer moving parts.
【3】What is the writer’s purpose of writing this passage?
A. To compare two kinds of cars.
B. To show a new way of driving.
C. To suggest driving electric cars.
D. To introduce a useful invention?
【4】Which is the best title of the passage?
A. The Best Way to Protect the Environment
B. Electric Cars are Worthy of a Second Look
C. The Greatest Invention in the New Century
D. Driving Electric Cars Saves Times and Money
