第二部分阅读理解（第一节20小题，第二节5小题；每小题2分，共50分）

第一节：阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

Marrakesh has many names —the Red City, Pearl of the South, the Heartbeat of Morocco—lives up to them all．It is an important and former imperial city in Morocco．It has a population of 1,070,838 and is the capital of the mid-southwestern economic region of Marrakech-Tensift-Al Haouz．Marrakesh, located in central Morocco, rests at the foothills of the snowcapped Atlas Mountains．Its location and rich cultural traditions make it one of the hottest tourist destinations in North Africa today．This lively city attracts visitors with its beautiful palaces, ancient winding streets, colorful goods, and lively city square．

One of the city's leading attractions is the Medina —its walled, ancient quarter—within which lies a maze （迷宫） of small, winding streets．This district dates back to the founding of the city in the llth century．Marrakesh's earliest rulers built walls around the Medina as well as mosques （清真寺）and palaces within it．Most of those were destroyed by attackers in 1147, but the city flourished again from the 17th through the 19th centuries, when many new architectural wonders were constructed．

Today, these monuments give visitors a feel for the history and culture of the city．But the Medina is not a museum．It is a lively place, crowded with people day and night．This district still houses the city's traditional market, the largest one in Morocco．The market serves locals and visitors alike, selling spices, carpets, leather bags, and colorful scarves．Here visitors can also purchase traditional pastries and other snacks in narrow streets where slaves were once bought and sold．

The Medina is a prime example of an ancient city center．In 1985, it was named officially a World Heritage Site by the United Nations in recognition of its historical importance and the need to preserve it for future generations．

41．What does the writer imply about Marrakesh?

A．It was attacked and destroyed in the 17th century．

B．It has grown quickly and become modern in a short time．

C．It draws large numbers of tourists with its splendid history and culture．

D．It has been reconstructed and boasts good public transportation．

42．According to the writer, what were built in the Medina by the earliest rulers?

A．Large campuses． B．Places of worship．

C．Sports facilities． D．Impressive theaters．

43．According to this passage, what were sold at one time in the Medina?

A．Maps of Morocco． B．Very rare books．

C．Pack animals． D．Human beings.

44．What is the passage mainly about?

A．A brief introduction of Marrakesh．

B．The process of Marrakesh's reconstruction．

C．The recognition of Marrakesh's historical importance．

D．The description of Marrakesh's flourishing culture．

The first field season is now over at the hut village of the workmen who built the tombs in the Valley of the Kings．However，the archaeologists working on the excavation(挖掘)have found that they still have a great deal to do．The sun，the wind and tourists have left their mark on the village，originally discovered by Bernard Bruyhre in 1935．

“From our modern perspective，it is upsetting to see how the village was first excavated and then left to be destroyed．Passers-by have used the huts as rubbish dumps and restrooms，”says Jaana Toivari—Viitala，a teacher at the University of Helsinki．“Fortunately，while we still have some surface cleaning to do，conservation are off to a good start．’’

The hut viliage offers rare insight into everyday life in ancient Egypt．

“In the early twentieth century，archaeologists were only interested in the tombs of kings． The workmen’s huts they discovered were seen as a necessary evil in the quest for the real trea sures．’，

“Now several international research groups on different excavations are examining everyday life and work in the Valley of the Kings．This seems to be a trend in archaeology right now．”Toivari-Viitala says．

Her research group wants to find out why the hut village was built on the slope of a mountain，halfway between the construction site and Deir-el-Medina．They are also interested in how many workers lived in the village at a time，when they lived there，and what their role was in the construction work．

“Comparing the names found in the village and in Deir-el-Medina provides useful information．Judging from the construction methods，settlement in the village can be divided into two separate periods：the initial settlement and a later one．”

For the time being，much is up to guessing，but Toivari-Viitala believes that the coming four field seasons，three months each，will see results．

“The working conditions are not nearly as difficult as I thought they would be． The cool winds in the mountains nicely alleviate the heat．”

The research group working on the“Workmen’s huts in the Theban mountains”project is planning to return to the Valley of the Kings in October．

71．What does the passage mainly talk about?

A．The hut village in the Valley of the Kings．

B．The excavation of the tombs in the Valley．

C．The archaeologists working on the excavation．

D．Everyday life and work in the Valley of the Kings．

72．Which of the following is NOT true of the hut village according to the passage?

A．It has been damaged a lot．

B．It can tell us a lot about ancient Egypt．

C．It has attracted archaeologists’attention．

D．It has a lot of real treasures somewhere in it．

73．What’s the new trend in archaeology right now according to Toivari-Viitala?

A．Being interested in the tombs of kings．

B．Examining everyday life and work in the Valley of the Kings．

C．Using the huts as rubbish dumps and restrooms．

D．Guessing what the result will be beforehand．

74．From the passage we know that the author is one of ．

A．the workmen who built the tombs in the Valley of the Kings

B．the archaeologists working on the excavation of the village

C．those in favour of Toivari-Viitala’s ideas and plans

D．the passers-by who used the huts as dumps and restrooms

75．We can infer from the passage that

A．people know little about the hut village by now

B．the workmen’s huts were not discovered until very recently

C．the research group working on the workmen’s huts will suffer a lot

D．the hut village is much more valued by archaeologists than the tombs
