Lost cities that have been found

The White City

In 2015, a team of explorers to Honduras in search of “the Lost City of the Monke God” led to the discovery of the White City. They found the ruins in the Mosquitia region of the Central American country which is known for poisonous snakes, vicious jaguars and deadly insects. It is believed that local people hid here when the Spanish conquerors(征服者) occupied their homeland in the 16th century. Canopus and Heracleion

Modern researchers were teased by the ancient writings about the Egyptian cities Canopus and Heracleion—where Queen Cleopatra often visited. But the cities weren’t found until 1992, when a search in Alexandria waters found that the two cities had been flooded for centuries. Artifacts(史前器物) showed that the cities once highly developed as a trade network, which helped researchers piece together more about the last queen of Egypt. Machu Picchu

A Yale professor discovered “the Lost City in the Clouds” in 1911. A combination of palaces, plazas, temples and homes, Machu Picchu displays the Inca Empire at the height of its rule. The city, which was abandoned in the 16th century for unknown reasons, was hidden by the local people from the Spanish conquerors for centuries keeping it so well preserved. Troy

页 3第

The ancient city of Troy in homer’s The Iliad was considered a fictional setting for his characters to run wild. But in 1871, explorations in northwestern Turkey exposed nine ancient cities layered (层叠) on top of each other, the earliest dating back to about 5,000 years before. It was later determined that the sixth or seventh layer contained the lost city of Troy and that it was actually destroyed by an earthquake, not a wooden horse. 21. Why did people hide in the White City in the 16th century?

A. To survive the war. B. To search for a lost city. C. To protect their country. D. To avoid dangerous animals

22. Which of the following was related to a royal family member?

A. The White City B. Canopus and Heracleion C. Machu Picchu D. Troy

23. What can we learn about Troy?

A. It was built by Homer. B. It consisted of nine cities C. It had a history of 5,000 years D. It was ruined by a natural disaster.

Next time you go shopping, keep in mind that there may be hidden cameras analyzing your habits. According to a 2015 survey of 150 managers from Computer Services Corporation, a quarter of British shops use facial recognition software to collect data on shopper behavior.

With concerns that face-recognition cameras are “kind of invasive(冒犯的)”, British analysis firm Hoxton Analytics has come up with a new way of measuring footfall (客流)—by filming people’s shoes. The technology can collect a large amount of personal information. “We have cameras at 50 cm off the ground and they point down so they are less invasive than facial recognition,” Duncan Mann, Hoxton’s officer said.

As modern cities get fuller—70 percent of the population will live in urban areas by 2050—cameras and other technologies are taking over public spaces and collecting our data. Their purpose is to keep people safe, provide efficient services and prevent disasters and crimes.

But some are not happy with the cameras as far as their privacy(隐私) is concerned. “Very few of us have any real concept of what data smart cities are gathering,” said Renate Samson. “We begin giving away data as soon as we wake up. When we enter the transport system, we are giving away even more details about ourselves through smart cards, mobile phones or credit cards.”

24. What is the article mainly about?

A. An introduction to collecting shoppers’ data. B. The concerns about giving away personal data.

C. The problems caused by imbalanced distribution of population. D. An invention recording and collecting customers’ information.

25. The new technology invented by Hoxton Analytics . A. can gather a lot of people’s personal data from their shoes B. uses cameras fitted on the ground to collect customers’ data C. has improved the accuracy of facial recognition software D. offers a perfect solution to customers’ privacy concerns

26. According to the author, cameras in modern cities . A. cause a huge waste of public space

B. help reduce the size of population in urban areas C. are likely to help improve traffic conditions

D. are to avoid crimes and disasters and provide efficient services 27. What is Renate Samson’s attitude toward the rise of smart cities? A. Worried.

B. Optimistic.

C. Confused.

D. Uninterested.

The arm bones of women who lived 7,000 years ago show a surprising level of strength—even higher than today’s professional athletes. That’s according to a first-ever study comparing prehistoric(史前的) bones to those of living people. The finding suggests a revision of history—the everyday lives of prehistoric women were filled with hard labor, rather than just sitting at home doing lighter tasks while the men struggled and fought for life.

Before the study, there are no clear records describing how our ancient ancestors lived. “It can be easy to forget that bone is a living tissue, one that responds to the difficulties we put our bodies through,” said lead author Alison Macintosh. “Physical force and muscle activity both put pressure on the bone. The bone reacts by changing in shape, thickness and other aspects over time.”

页 5第

“Previous studies only compared female bones to contemporary male bones,” the researchers said, “And that’s a problem, because the response of male bones to stress and change is much bigger than that of women. For instance, as humans moved from a hunter-gatherer lifestyle constantly on the move to a more settled agrarian(农耕的) one, changes can be observed in the structure of the shinbone(胫骨), and these changes were much more evident in men.”

However, a comparison of the bones of prehistoric women to the bones of living female athletes can help us work out a more accurate picture of what those prehistoric women were doing. “By analyzing the bones of living people and comparing them to the ancient bones, we can start to explain the kinds of labor our ancestors were reforming,” Macintosh said. What they found was that women’s leg strength hasn’t changed a great deal, but their arms used to be very powerful. Prehistoric women, the researchers found, had arm strength 11-16 percent stronger than those of modern rowers, and 30 percent stronger than those of non-athletes. 28. What does the study tell about prehistoric women?

A. They were stronger than men. B. They had lighter bones than men. C. They did tough tasks as the men. D. They spent most time staying at home.

29. What problem did previous studies on prehistoric bones have?

A. They lacked enough comparison. B. They only studied men’s bones C. They focused little on bones. D. They ignored the lifestyles

30. What does the underlined word “that” in Paragraph 3 refer to?

A. Bones’ structure. B. Bones’ thickness C. Bones’ response to stress. D. Bones’ stress from hard labor. 31. What can we learn from the last paragraph?

A. It’s still hard to explain our ancestors’ lifestyle. B. Prehistoric women went through much suffering. C. Women’s arms have become much stronger over time. D. Prehistoric women are stronger than contemporary females.
