9.There may be no greater proof to a society's creativity and vision than Egypt's pyramids of Giza,but the pyramids are only part of ancient Egypt's heritage.Many of the devices of their society are still commonplace.Here are two of their amazing inventions.Eye Makeup
Sure,eye makeup might not rank alongside fire or the wheel (32)as one of the most important discoveries in human history,but it gives the Egyptians a run for longevity.(33)Since they first invented eye makeup as far back as 4000B.C.,it has never gone out of style.Even more impressive,some cosmetically-minded cultures still create makeup using the same techniques (34)originating (originate) in Egypt thousands of years ago.They combined soot(煤烟) with a mineral to create a black mixture,which is still popular today.
For the Egyptians,makeup was not limited to women.Status and appearance went hand in hand,and (35)as/so far as the upper class was concerned,the more makeup the better.Fashion was only part of the reason for the Egyptians'heavy hand when applying eyeliner.They also believed that it could cure various eye diseases and even prevent them (36)falling (fall) victim to the evil eye.
Breath Mints
Next time you buy Mentos at the counter of 7-Eleven,you (37)should thank the ancient Egyptians for creating a way to conceal the unpleasant smell of our mouth.Just as in modern times,bad breath in ancient Egypt was (38)a/one symbol of poor dental health.Unlike us,the Egyptians didn't have sweet soft drinks and foods that contribute to tooth decay,but the stones (39)employed(employ) to make flour for bread brought a lot of sand to their diet,which damaged their teeth.
The Egyptians had specialists for many medical problems,but unfortunately,they didn't have dentists to fix their bad teeth.Instead,they simply suffered,and scientists (40)who/that have examined mummies have found severely worn teeth,even in young Egyptians.To cope with the unpleasant smell from their rotting mouths,they invented the first mints,which were a combination boiled with honey and shaped into pills.
分析 本文主要介绍了埃及人除了金字塔之外对人类社会的另外两大贡献--眼妆和薄荷糖;文中讲到:古埃及人于公元前4000年发明的眼部化妆从未过时过;对于埃及人来说,化妆不仅限于女性;地位与形象密切相关,在上层阶级看来,妆越浓越好;埃及人还认为在眼部涂上眼线膏不仅可以治疗各种眼病,甚至还能祛邪避灾;薄荷糖是古埃及人创造出的一种用以掩盖口臭的糖果;和在现代社会一样,口臭在古埃及也是牙齿健康状况不佳的一个标志;虽然古埃及人并不贪吃导致蛀牙的含糖的软饮料及食物,但是他们用来磨面粉做面包用的石磨却为他们的日常饮食掺入了大量的沙子,从而导致了他们牙齿的损伤;虽然埃及人有治疗各种疾病的专家,但是却缺少治疗牙齿的专家;研究木乃伊的科学家发现,木乃伊的牙齿磨损的很严重,即使英年早逝的年轻人也是如此;因此为了掩盖口腔里发出的难闻的气味,古埃及人发明了最早的薄荷糖.
解答 32.as 考查固定搭配 rank…as…意为:把…看做;可算作…;本句的意思是:眼妆可能不比火或车轮,不能算做是人类历史上最重要的发现之一,但它却能让古埃及人延年益寿;故填as
33.Since 考查从属连词 此处用来引导时间状语从句,根据该从句使用了一般过去时,主句使用了现在完成时以及句意"早在公元前4000年他们就首先发明了眼部化妆,自从那时以来,它就从未过时过"可知,此处应填连词Since"自从…以来"
34.originating 考查现在分词 此处在句中作后置定语,修饰名词 techniques;由于动词originate与该名词构成了主谓关系,意为:源自于埃及的相同技术;故填originating
35.as/so far as 考查固定搭配 固定搭配as/so far as…be concerned意为:就…而言;故填as/so far as
36.falling 考查动名词 本句的意思是:他们还认为在眼部涂上眼线膏不仅可以治疗各种眼病,甚至还能祛邪避灾;由于此处用在动词短语"Prevent…from…"之后,作介词from的宾语;故应使用动名词falling
37.should 考查情态动词 本句的意思是:下次你在7-11便利店的柜台购买 Mentos口香糖时,你应该感谢古埃及人发明的用以掩盖我们口中发出的难闻气味的方法;故填should:应该
38.a/one 考查冠词 此处用于单数名词symbol之前,表示泛指"一种…标志或象征";本句的意思是:和在现代社会一样,口臭在古埃及也是牙齿健康状况不佳的一个标志;故填a/one
39.employed 考查过去分词 此处在句中作后置定语,修饰前面的名词stone;由于动词employ与该名词构成了动宾关系,意为:用石磨磨面粉;故填employed
40.who/that 考查关系代词 根据句意可知,本句为定语从句;先行词scientists指人,在该从句中作主语;意为:那些检查过木乃伊的科学家;故填who/that
