26、The discovery of the ruined palace in the Mosul Dam reservoir on the banks of the Tigris River inspired an archeological dig that would improve understanding of the Mittani Empire, one of the least-researched empires of the ancient Near East, a team of German researchers said. “The find is one of the most important archeological discoveries in the region in recent decades,” Kurdish archeologist(考古学家) Hasan Qasim said.

The palace would have originally stood just 65 feet from the river on a terrace(梯田). A terrace wall of mud bricks was later added to make the building stable. Ivana Puljiz, an archeologist from the University of Tübingen’s Institute for Ancient Near Eastern Studies, describes the palace, known as Kemune, as a carefully designed building with mud-brick walls up to 2 meters (6.6 feet) thick.

The team also found wall paintings in shades of red and blue, which were probably a common feature of palaces at the time but have rarely been found preserved. “Discovering wall paintings in Kemune is an archeological sensation,” Puljiz said in a press release, “Kemune is only the second site in the region where wall paintings of the Mittani period have been discovered.”

Ten clay tablets covered in cuneiform, an ancient system of writing, were also discovered and have been sent to Germany for translation. “From the texts we hope to gain information on the inner structure of the Mitani Empire, its economic organization, and the relationship of the Mittani capital with the administrative centers in the neighboring regions,” Puljiz added.

Archeologists first became aware of the site in 2010 when water levels in the reservoir were low, but this is the first time they have been able to dig. However, the site was submerged(淹没) shortly after the dig, Puljiz said, adding“It is unclear when it will come out of water again”.

【1】The function of the archeological dig is to ________.

A．attract people to travel to the Tigris River

B．help people know the Mittani Empire better

C．show ways of rebuilding the Mosul Dam reservoir

D．provide some clues about research on the Near East

【2】Why was the mud-brick terrace wall built later?

A．To make the palace firmly built.

B．To offer tourists a place for rest.

C．To give tourists a good view.

D．To make the building better designed

【3】What can we infer from Puljiz’s words in paragraph 3?

A．Kemune is different from any other palace.

B．Wall paintings were an important discovery.

C．Kemune is famous for its special wall paintings

D．Wall paintings were first discovered in the Mittani Empire.

【4】What made the dig difficult for archeologists?

A．Translating the cuneiform into English

B．Knowing relationships between regions.

C．Waiting for the water level to drop.

D．Understanding the structure of the empire.

27、Best Inventions

Sun Power

People who buy solar panels (嵌板）for their home hope to help the environment and save some money. But they end up with large metal boxes on their roof. Tesla, a car company, solved the problem. The solution is the Solar Roof. It is a series of tiles (瓦) made to look like traditional roofing material while using the power of the sun. Tesla developed it with SolarCity, a longtime provider of solar panels. It is now available to the public.

Talking Tech

Echo gives users the ability to talk to their tech. Apple’s Siri and Microsoft’s Cortana do that too. But in many ways，Amazon’s version，Alexa, which is built into Echo，is more powerful. Alexa has grown since it was put on the market in 2014, and today, you can use it to turn on the lights, order a pizza, and more. Echo costs $ 180. Amazon recently developed a junior version, the $ 50 Echo Dot.

Spin and Roll

Goodyear is reinventing the wheel. It introduced its Eagle 360 spherical tire (球形轮胎) in March, 2016. The tires allow cars to move in many directions, including sideways, and at angles to handle slippery surfaces. The key is magnetic levitation (磁悬浮). Tires are fixed to cars, but Eagle 360s float beneath them. They’re meant for self-driving cars of tomorrow.

Cycle Safety

Jeff Woolf had a serious bike crash. If he hadn’t been wearing his helmet, he would have been badly hurt. He wondered why so many riders didn’t wear helmets. That turns out it was mostly because helmets were big and hard to carry around. Woolf, an engineer, came up with Morpher. The helmet is made from interwoven plastics (交错编织的塑料). It is strong, but it’s also flexible enough to fold almost totally flat. That makes it easy to carry. Morpher is priced at $ 119.

32、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

Twenty-three years ago, in a small town in France, the then 12-year-old girl Zugay and her 17-year-old elder sister Vanja lost their parents. They had nobody to depend on except their brother, who was a college student in Minnesota, America. The brother borrowed some money and managed to send his sisters two flight tickets, which would allow them to fly to America to stay with him. The two poor girls boarded the plane to America.

On the plane, next to the girls sat two ladies, who appeared to be in their late 30s. One wore a black pigtail. The other had mid-length fair hair. Both women carried tennis rackets (球拍). They talked about playing tennis in Paris.

When it was time for lunch, the stewardess (空姐) handed out food to the passengers. But the two girls got none, because their flight tickets didn’t include lunch. Despite the fact that they were hungry, they couldn’t afford any food. The two ladies noticed it and started conversation with them. Zugay couldn’t speak English at the time, but Vanja was able to carry on more of a conversation. The two ladies learnt about the girls’ situation and offered to buy lunch for them. Zugay and Vanja were moved to tears. Although Zugay couldn’t speak English, she had a good time with the ladies. She even helped the women with knitting (编织).

Time passed quickly. The flight landed at Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport. Before leaving, one of the ladies handed them an envelope and made them promise not to open it until they got off the plane.

The girls were later shocked to discover a $100 bill inside. A note on the outside of the envelope read: A friend from the plane—TRACY. In the upper left-hand corner, “Holiday Hotel Garden Court” was printed in blue.
