16．After more than 3，000years，a statue of the Egyptian king Amenhotep III has been erected in the city of Luxor after being knocked down by an earthquake．
One of the great figures in the story of ancient Egypt，Amenhotep III was a boy king．He became king of Egypt at the age of only 12years．He ruled at a time when Egyptian civilization was at its very height．
Amenhotep III was given statues in his honor and among them this 13-meter-high statue stood on the bank of the Nile until it was knocked down by an earthquake 3，000years ago．So for 30centuries，it lay in pieces in the field，more than 80pieces．Now the statue has been restored and shown to the public．There is another very similar huge statue of Amenhotep III．It was also damaged by that earthquake．And it，too，has been repaired and put back in its place．These two statues stand at the gates of the famous funerary temple in Luxor，which has another two huge seated figures of the kings．
And the background for this is just that tourism is very important to the Egyptian economy after what's been happening recently．Years of disturbance （骚乱）has hit the Egyptian economy in many ways and any improvement of that economy will need to be helped by the tourist industry．The legacy（遗产）of ancient Egypt is so much，so important to that tourist industry．And the images coming from Luxor today show just how delighted and proud the archeologists and the local people are for what they've seen today．

13．We all have our ways of marking time．My life is measured by taking pictures from one story to the next．My oldest son was born in the middle of a long story about endangered animals．My daughter came along with a pack of gray wolves．
It's the story in Alaska that I'll remember best，though．It was the story about the loss of wild land，during which my wife Kathy got cancer．That's the one that made time stand still．With anxiety，I stopped taking pictures on the day when she found that tumor （肿瘤）．Cruelly，it was Thanksgiving Day．Early examination saves time．But ours was not early．By the time you can feel it yourself，it's often bigger than the doctor wants it to be．
Cancer is a thief．It steals time．Our days are already short with worry．Then comes this terrible disease，unfair as storm at harvest time．But cancer also has the power to change us，for good．We learn to simplify it，enjoying what we have instead of feeling sorry for what we don't．Cancer even makes me a better father．My work has made me a stranger to my three kids．But now I pay attention to what really matters．This is a new way of life and a new way of seeing，all from the cancer．
In the end each of us has so little time．We have less of it than we can possibly imagine．And even though it turns out that Kathy's cancer has not spread，and her prognosis （预断） is good．We try to make it all count（重要） now，enjoying every part of every day．
I've picked up my camera again．I watch the sky，searching for beautiful light．When winter storms come，Kathy and I gather our children and take the time to catch snowflakes （雪花） on our tongues．After all，this is good．This is what we're living for．
32．What is the writer？B
A．A sponsor．B． A photographer．C．A doctor．D．A director．
33．How did the writer feel after knowing Kathy's disease？A
A．Anxious．B．Innocent．C．Powerful．D．Optimistic．
34．What effect has the cancer had on the author？B
A．He focuses much more on his work．B．He spends more time with his family．
C．He becomes a stranger to his children．D．He devotes much more to medical care．
35．What can be inferred from the passage？C
A．Cancer steals time．
B．Kathy's cancer has spread．
C．The author takes a different way of life．
D．Snowflakes make the family feel cool．

12．Studies show that laughter is something that makes you feel calm or relaxed for both physical and psychological wounds though it may seem futile（无用的） to laugh in the face of pain and fear．
When Dan Rather interviewed comedian Bill Cosby just one week after his son，Ennis，was killed，Cosby said，"I think it is time for me to tell people that we have to laugh．You can turn painful situations around through laughter．If you can find humor in anything，you can survive it．"
Call it a flashlight for dark times：laughter just seems to adjust attitude better than anything else．Inspirational speaker Steve Rizzo recalls a TV interview with an injured firefighter a few days after 9.11．The man had fallen more than 30stories in one of the towers and had broken a leg．Everyone was crying，and the reporter asked，"How is it that you've come out of this alive？"He looked at her and without missing a beat，said，"Look，lady，I'm from New York and I'm a firefighter； that'all you need to know．"
"Everyone laughed and though the laughter was only a couple of seconds，"says Rizzo．"Sometimes that's all you need to catch your second breath．Laughter gives you that couple
of seconds．You're sending a message to your brain，and the message is：If you can still laugh even a little among the pain，you are going to be OK．"
Of course，there is a difference between laughing off a serious situation and laughing off the fear that results．The firefighter was doing the latter，states Rizzo，the author of Becoming a Humorous Being，and so should we．"If there is anything we have learnt from 9.11，it's how precious life really is，"she says．"We have to send a message that our spirit won't die．One important thing that unites us is our ability to laugh．"
25．The writer uses the examples of the comedian and the firefighter to showD．
A．it is your attitude that decides whether you can survive the pain or not
B．laughter is the best way to cure psychological wounds
C．laughter can make people feel calm or relaxed
D．laughter is a good way to get rid of pain and fear
26．We can infer from the passage that Steve Rizzo isA．
A．a reporter   B．a soldier  C．a firefighter  D．a doctor
27．From the passage，we can know that Americans areB．
A．really happy after 9.11                  B．greatly hurt by 9.11
C．nearly surprised by 9.11                  D．hardly united after 9.11．

8．In a class this past December，after I wrote some directions on the board for students about their final examination，one young woman quickly took a picture of the board using her smart phone．When I looked in her direction，she apologized，"Sorry．Was it wrong to take a picture？"
"I can't read my own handwriting，"the young woman explained．"It's best if I take a picture of your writing so I can understand the notes．"
That remark started a class-wide conversation about taking a picture instead of taking notes．For those in the photo-taking camp，motivations extended beyond their inability to comprehend their own handwriting．Some took pictures of notes because they knew their phone was a safe place to store material．They might lose paper，they reasoned，but they wouldn't lose their phones．Some took photos because they wanted to record exactly the manner in which I had noted information on the board．Others told me that during class they liked to be able to listen to the discussion attentively．
Yet the use of cameras as note takers，though it may be convenient，does raise significant questions for the classroom．Is a picture an effective replacement for the process of note-taking？
Instructors encourage students to take notes because the act of doing so is more than merely recording necessary information-it helps prepare the way for understanding．Encouraging students to take notes may be an old-fashioned instructional method，but just because a method has a long history doesn't mean it's out of date．Writing things down engages a student's brain in listening，visual，and kinesthetic（触觉的） learning-a view supported by a longstanding research．The act of writing down information enables a person to begin committing it to memory，and to process and combine it，establishing the building blocks of learning new concepts．
Taking a picture does indeed record the information，but it deletes some of the necessary mental engagement that taking notes employs．So can the two be equally effective？
28．The woman apologized in the class because sheA．
A．took a picture of the board
B．missed the teachers'directions
C．had the bad handwriting
D．disturbed other students'learning
29．According to the passage，which of the following may NOT explain students'unwillingness to take notes？C
A．They believe smart phones are much safer for storing notes．
B．They want to listen more attentively in class．
C．They lack proper techniques for taking notes．
D．They want to have the exact version of the notes on the board．
30．According to the passage，taking notes by handD．
A．requires students to think independently
B．seems unsuitable for students to learn new ideas
C．proves to be an old and useless learning method
D．helps students actively participate in learning
31．What is the main idea of this passage？B
A．The traditional way of note-taking should be replaced．
B．Note-taking by hand is not out of date．
C．A modern way of note-taking is catching on．
D．A picture is worth a thousand words．
