18．Some 30，000 years ago，artists who lived in caves in Europe painted pictures of the animals around them：panthers，hyenas，rhinos，cave lions，mammoths and other creatures which have been extinct for a long time．
The artwork，more than a thousand drawings，is considered the oldest group of human cave drawings which have ever been discovered．They were preserved because the cave was sealed---closed off--for more or less 23，000 years．
Fast forward to December 18，1994，a group of French cave scientists were exploring caves in southern France．Jean Marie Chauvet，who led the group then，describes the process of discovering the cave paintings．"At that time I was in the front，Eliette just walked behind me，Christian behind．Eliette said she saw two marks with red ochre（赭石） and she said，‘They came here．'And at this very moment everything began．The drawings and everything linked to the parietal art（壁画）．That is where it started．"
Cave art expert Jean Clotttes reviewed the paintings．"I was amazed at the number of paintings there were and paintings of their quality and particularly in front of the panel of the horses．"
Scientific analysis confirmed the prehistoric date of the artwork．Studies showed the drawings were created tens of thousands of years ago，before human history was written．The United Nations'cultural agency UNESCO lists the cave as a World Heritage Site．They say that the drawings form a remarkable expression of early human artistic creation of grand excellence and variety．
The Chauvet Cave has been named after the explorer who first entered it．However，its environment and drawings are too fragile to be visited by human beings．So the cave is closed，and only people there for scientific purposes can go inside and see the artwork．
However，French authorities asked experts to create an exact copy of the cave，called Pont d'Arc Cavern．The copy，which we also called replica，cost more than 59 million dollars to build．It opened at the end of April in France．
Pascal Terrasse is the president of the cavern．He says everyone will be able to experience the thrill of looking at drawings made by the first humans in Europe．He says the place is magic because it is done so well．Authorities say they think as many as 400，000 people will be allowed to visit Pont d'Arc Cavern every year．
29．According to Jean Clottes'words in Paragraph 4，the paintings in the cave wereB．
A．abstract     
B．superior        
C．creative    
D．inspiring
30．Which of the follow statements is TRUE about the Chauvet Cave？C
A．It was closed off for more than 30，000 years．
B．It is thought to be the origin of modern parietal art．
C．The environment and artwork there are very easy to damage．
D．The majority of drawings there are about the extinct animals．
31．The purpose of creating Pndt d'Arc Cavern is toC．
A．show admiration for the earliest artists in Europe
B．arouse visitors'awareness of protecting ancient art
C．offer visitors chances to view the wonderful artwork
D．collect money for the perseverance of the Chauvet Cave．

分析 文章介绍了大约三万年以前的人留下的壁画．壁画上画的是当时存在的动物和一些已经灭绝的生物．洞穴里的环境很不好，大量的人前去参观的话，壁画很容易被破坏．

解答 29．B．细节理解题．根据第四段中Jean was amazed at the number of paintings there were and paintings of their quality and particularly in front of the panel of the horses可知壁画十分优秀．故B选项正确．
30．C．理解推断题．根据第二段"the cave was sealed---closed off--for more or less 23，000 years"排除A；根据第三段"The drawings and everything linked to the parietal art（壁画）．That is where it is tarted．"可知，30000年前的壁画并非当代壁画的起源；根据第一段"other creatures which have been extinct for a long time"可知，壁画上有很多动物和一些灭绝的生物，而不是大多数都是关于灭绝生物的，排除D；根据倒数第三段"So the cave is closed，and only people there for scientific purposes can go inside"可知，只有科考人员才能进去观察壁画，由此可知"its environment and drawings are too fragile to be visited by human beings"的意思是，里面的环境和壁画很脆弱，不能被游客参观，fragile脆弱的，易碎的，精细的，虚弱的，故选C．
31．C．主旨归纳题．通读全文可知．推理判断题．根据倒数第二段"It opened at the end of April in France．"和最后一段"everyone will be able to experience the thrill of looking at drawings…Authorities say they think as many as 400，000 people will be allowed to visit Pont d'Arc Cavern every year"可知，创造 Pndt d'Arc Cavern 的目的是为了给游客参观壁画的机会，故选C．

9．Many people know the names Alexander Graham Bell and Thomas Edison．However，most people don't know the name of the man who invented the television，Philo Farnsworth．
Philo Farnsworth was born in 1906and grew up on a potato farm．As a boy，he loved to learn about science，and he read a lot of science books．When he was only thirteen years old，he drew a picture of a machine that could send pictures as radio sends sounds．He got the idea from the way the potatoes were planted in the field．The potatoes grew in long lines，side by side．This made a shape in Philo's mind．This shape helped Philo think of a way to send the TV picture onto a piece of glass．But he was poor，so Philo could not try to make his idea into a machine at that time．

Later，a big company，RCA，said they had made the first television．Philo had to spend a lot of money on lawyers to fight them．Finally，he won．Then，World War Two started in 1939．During the war，Philo spent a lot of money helping the US army instead ofbuilding up   his television company．After the war，other bigger，richer companies started making televisions．In the end，Philo had to sell his company．

20．I remembered that when I was a little child，I used to look for Sunday of the week．Yes，I was so looking forward to an adventure．
Now，I still have a strong affinity for  buses．I used to wonder where those gigantic buses finally stopped．On sunshine Sundays，that's my adventure times．He took me to the bus stop．Time passed，while I was growing impatient，he was smiling，as he always does．
It was really not that easy to get on a bus as often as we do today．I was so worried that the bus driver would have missed us．I waved my hands so high with all my strength．I looked hopefully at him．He didn't move at all．He was still standing．It seemed that the late and infrequent coming of the bus wasn't any trouble to him at all．
He took my hand．We managed to find seats on the upper deck．I was so excited．Only sitting beside the windows made me happy．Looking at the rewinding buildings，streets and people through windows from a higher ground was so much fun．Then，he was sitting peacefully by me and whispered to me where the bus finally would stop．I was curious about what would be the next stop of our destination as much as what really means something to him．
That is me．I know now．I am all he cares．He wants me to be happy，as he always does．That's the strong bond between father and son．Childhood，naive and precious，you showed me the world and the way I look at the world．I am so grateful for your presence in my life．Thanks，you are so wonderful!
