【题目】Hip-hop culture covers many fields; it includes spoken words, break-dancing, beat-making, painting, fashion, lively design, technology, and more. Hip-hop is becoming the unofficial music in the education world, as more artists launch school programs, summer camps, and other activities connected city youth in the classroom through the beliefs of hip-hop culture. Even more and more university teachers — who once would have been strongly against hip-hop — have joined the crew. In the past two decades, hip-hop culture, including hip-hop education, has become a legitimate(合法的) field of study in universities and the subject of numerous books.

Hip-hop culture has influenced every piece of American and global culture because the culture is so prevalent. Teachers must be willing to engage in it if it's part of the unique reality of their students' lives. That way, teachers can truly be effective, reaching students in a meaningful, culturally connected way.

Teachers might at first feel frightened by hip-hop culture, an area in which they might not have previous knowledge or experience. But a lack of knowledge is actually a blessing; the best trained hip-hop educators have been those that are at the beginning disconnected(分离的) from the culture. One of the biggest sayings in hip-hop is “keep it real”. If a teacher comes to the classroom and says, “I don' t know hip-hop, but I recognize that it's your culture and I want to learn,” the kids will teach the teacher, and then the students will be more willing to learn from that educator. Hip-hop is about a respect for youth culture.

【1】Those who once most probably disagree with hip-hop education are ___________.

A. middle school teachers B. unofficial artists

C. the young living in cities D. university teachers

C. Those who keep their character real.

D. Those who are willing to learn from others.

【题目】If you visit the new Mummies(木乃伊) show at the American Museum of Natural History(AMNH), in New York City, don’t miss the Gilded Lady. Scientists say she probably died of lung disease when she was in her 40s---about 2,000 years ago---in Egypt. They even have a model of her skull(头骨). Based on that, an artist was sure how she may have looked when she was alive. And yet, the mummy’s coffin has never been opened. Instead, scientists used a machine called a CT scanner(扫描仪) to look inside.

CT scanners were developed to help doctors examine patients. But the machines turned out to be perfect for studying mummies, too.

“A hundred years ago, scientists would usually open mummies’ coffins. This did a great deal of harm to those mummies,” say AMNH president Ellen V. Futter. “We just don’t do that anymore. We can do so much better. By using CT scanners, scientists can know about an ancient person’s diet from some of a mummy’s hair. Pieces of bone can show who was related to whom.”

Some mummies in Peru were buried with a skull hanging from their neck. Scientists thought these mummies wore the skull of an enemy. But DNA evidence showed that the mummies were buried with the skull of an ancestor(祖先).

The 19 mummies in the show are from Egypt and Peru. They had completely different reasons for mummifying the dead. The ancient Egyptians believed that mummification allowed an ancestor to live on in the next world. The people who prepared the Gilded Lady thought she would continue to see, hear, and smell. In ancient Peru, people practiced mummification to stay connected with their ancestors. Some families kept mummies in their home.

Futter calls the mummies in the show “messengers from another time.” With the help of technology, scientists will continue to uncover mummies’ secrets so we can understand it.

【1】What did scientists find about the Gilded Lady?

A. She was a great artist.

B. She died a natural death.

C. She lived in ancient Egypt.

D. She had an amazingly long life.

【2】What do Futter’s words suggest?

A. Pieces of bone show a person’s diet.

B. CT scanners do great harm to mummies.

C. Mummies usually wore the skull of an enemy.

D. Technology plays an important role in mummy studies.

【3】Why did the ancient Peruvians make mummies?

A. To do traditional medical research.

B. To keep close ties with their relatives.

C. To help their families live a better life.

D. To let their ancestors live in another world.

【4】What does the underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refer to?

A. The technology.

B. Their message.

C. Their family.

D. The show.

【题目】阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（1个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式。

In the 1830s, William Procter and James Gamble started a small factory in Cincinnati, in which candles and pieces of soap 【1】 (produce). However, the market for candles suddenly fell as a result of Thomas Edison’s 【2】 (invent) of the electric light. The situation appeared to be hopeless for Mr. Procter and Mr. Gamble, 【3】 an accident saved their company.

One day in 1879, a forgetful worker forgot 【4】 (stop) his machine when he went to lunch. A lot of air made its way into the mixture. Instead of 【5】 (throw) away the mixture, he made it into soap.
