Machu Picchu is an unusual site in Peru and one of the most mysterious wonders of the world. Built at almost 10,000 feet on the top of an Andean mountain, the Incas built hundreds of structures made of stone. A large number of Machu Picchu’s surrounding structures date back to the early 13th century, but it was considered a chief sacred site far before then. The Inca people changed the large site into a very small but wonderful city, completely self-sufficient and hidden from below. Agricultural terraces (梯田) surrounded the entire city, fed by natural spring water, supporting the entire population.

Inca Trail

The trail is one of the most famous in the world and regarded as one of the best. It covers only 26 miles, combining cloud forest, green mountain scenery, forest, and plenty of tunnels, paving stones, and ruins. The four-day hike begins slowly but quickly changes into a difficult journey suitable for those in excellent shape. The trail winds through the Andes, leading alongside and through ruins. Though independent hiking was once permitted, now it must be done with a guide.

Funerary Rock

It is believed that the Funerary Rock at Machu Picchu was used as a place to prepare Inca nobles for preservation, or mummifying (做成木乃伊), a common habit among the tribe. Nobles would be laid out to be mummified by the hot sun and freezing cold nights after their organs were removed. The rock is also famous as a spot from which a view of the city is afforded.

Temple of the Sun

Within the city’s castle, deep within Machu Picchu, is the Temple of the Sun, accessed only by the Emperor and

Inca priests. It means the Inca’s advanced knowledge of religion, weather, and nature, showing the great extent

Incas went to adapt to and learn about nature. Still unbroken, the temple was built to honor the god Inti, who is exactly the sun. The temple was effectively protected. It was also a very important scientific center, built in half-moon shape with openings facing north and east. The windows’ shadows in the center of the temple helped see the start of winter solstice (至日), showing farming season.

B. One person alone is permitted to hike on the trail.

C. Only healthy people can do the four-day hike trail.

Wandering around the airport terminal(航站楼), after learning my flight had been delayed four hours, I heard an announcement, “If anyone near Gale A-4 understands any Arabic, please come to the gate immediately.” I went there and saw an old woman in full traditional Palestinian dress crying on the floor. A young man from the airport staff asked me to talk to her to find out what was her problem. He said she started to cry when hearing the announcement about the flight.

I knelt down, put my arms around her and asked her what was wrong. My Arabic wasn’t good enough but I managed to get my meaning across. She soon stopped crying and told me she had thought the flight had been canceled. She needed to be in El Paso for an important medical treatment the next day. I said, “You’ll be fine. You’ll get there but only a few hours late. Who is going to pick you up? Let’s call him.” We called her son. I spoke to him in English. I told him I would stay with his mother till we boarded the plane. Later, I called my dad whose Arabic was better and asked him to talk to her. She looked much more relaxed while talking on the phone.

Later she took out a sack of homemade cookies stuffed with dates and nuts and offered them to all the women at the gate: the traveler from Argentina, the mom from California, the lovely woman from Laredo. Everybody smiled and accepted her cookies to eat. And my new best friend and I were holding hands, while the others around us were talking with each other with different accents. I almost wanted to hug all those other women too. I looked around that gate and thought to myself, “This is surely the world want to live in.”

1.Why did the old lady cry at the airport terminal gate?

A. The plane was canceled. B. Her medical treatment was canceled.

C. She didn’t know which flight to take. D. She misunderstood the announcement.

2.It can be inferred that ________.

Dear Lan Lan ,

I’m now writing to you at Hartsop,a village in the Lake District,a place to have most beautiful scenery(景色) in England,I come here to spend Christmas with an English couple. This was planned for overseas students to know the British ways of life by living with British families.

We came two days before Christmas and during our stay,we have had everything we expected:Christmas turkey,Christmas cake,Christmas puddings,Christmas parties and gifts under the Christmas tree. All are exciting and amusing(有趣的),but above all these,we are deeply touched by the hospitality(好客) of the family,Roger and Anne Marie.

Anne Marie is a nurse and all these days,she had been busy cooking meals,washing dishes and showing us around. Roger,who is a doctor,knows a lot about China and still wants to know more. He plays us Chinese music and it seems to me he does better in that than we do. In the evenings,we all sit around the fireplace with Tim,a lovely dog,by our side. Like long? time ?no ?see friends,we talk about all the things that have happened or we hope to happen in our lives. There is always so much to tell and to know.

After three months away from home,we are again feeling how sweet a home can be. Roger and Anne Marie are not like most of the other people we have met who always make us feel we are foreigners in a foreign country. They show such kindness to us that they bring us a person?to?person feeling,instead of a British?to?Chinese feeling. They make us believe that though there are differences of languages and cultures,one may always expect to find in every corner of the world the feeling of love and being loved.

How I wish Mum and Dad could meet them! How I wish you were here with me! How strange it is that the more I feel at home here,the more I miss my real home and all of you. We always talk about“when we go back home next year...”and soon we will turn this into“when we go back home THIS year...”for the New Year’s Day is coming. Miss you.

Love,

Gao Wen

In a land often shaken by earthquake, how have Japan's wooden pagodas(佛塔)remained standing for centuries? Japanese scholars have been confident for ages about their resilience(抗震性).

For centuries, many believed the resilience of pagodas is caused by its big central columns known as shinbashira actually does not carry any weight at all but is hanging down loosely from the top of the pagoda through the middle of the building. The weight of the building is supported entirely by twelve outer and four inner columns.

And what is the role of the shinbashira, the central column? Mr. Ishida, known as ‘Professor Pagoda’ has built a series of models and tested them on a ‘shake-table’ in his laboratory. In short, the shinbashira was acting like a big pendulum(钟摆). Under pressure, a pagoda’s loose floors could be made to move back and forth independently. Viewed from the side, the pagoda seemed to be doing a snake dance—with each floor moving in the opposite direction to its neighbors above and below. The shinbashira, running up through a hole in the centre of the building, made it unlikely that individual floors moved too far because, after moving a certain distance, they banged into it, transmitting energy away along the column.

Another strange feature of the Japanese pagoda is its shape, with each floor being smaller than the one below. In other words, a five-storey pagoda contains not column that travels right up through the building. More surprising is the fact that the individual storeys of a Japanese pagoda are not actually connected to each other. They are simply put on top of another like a small hill of hats.

The extra-wide eaves(屋檐)also play a part. Think of them as a balancing pole of tightrope-walkers. The bigger the mass at each end of the pole, the easier it is for tightrope walker to maintain his or her balance. The same holds true for a pagoda.

1.Shuzo Ishida performs experiments in order to ________.

A. put the pendulum into practice

B. gain insight into the “shake-table” model

C. learn about the function of the shinbashira

D. locate shinbashira’s excat position in a pagoda

2.The underlined word “loose” in paragraph 3 can be replaced by ________?

A. lost B. relaxed

C. base D. shakable

3.Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE according to the article?

A. Some columns may extend from the bottom to the top of a pagoda.

B. The functions of extra eaves and balancing poles are similar.

C. The storeys of a Japanese pagoda aren’t built firmly.

D. Pagodas’s amazing resilience has long puzzled scholars.

4.What is the best title for the passage?

A. How Shinbashira Plays Its Role

B. Why Pagodas Do Not Fall Down

C. Distinct Features of Japanese Architecture

D. Shuzo Ishida, a Famous Engineer

A few things to do during weekends

to improve your life

Weekend at last! Something you’re so looking forward to after a tiring week at work. Here are several tips on how to make the most of your weekends.
