Along with the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt, the Great Sphinx is one of the greatest monuments (历史遗迹) in human history.
Carved (雕) out of a single piece of stone of hundreds of tons, the Sphinx is the head of a man resting on the body of a lion. The nose, eyes and ears have been carved in accurate proportion (比例). That’s not easy for an object 72 meters long and 20 meters high. The Sphinx was built in about 2500 BC． But no one knows what tools were used or by whom. The Egyptians wrote very little about the building of the Sphinx. No one knows what the Sphinx looked like when it was first finished because both natural erosion (侵蚀) and people’s damage have changed its shape. Many earlier pictures of the Sphinx show it with wings, the body of a lion, and the face of a man.
Today only the man and the lion can be seen. To this day, people can’t agree with each other on the true role of the Sphinx.
31．The writer wrote this text to tell us ________.
A．some information about the Great Sphinx B．something about the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt
C．what the Great Sphinx looks like today D．to visit the Great Sphinx
32．Many parts of the Sphinx are mentioned in the passage except ________.
A．the nose B．the mouth C．the eyes D．the ears
33．Which of the following about the Sphinx is known to people
A．The date of building it. B．The size of it. C．The way of building it. D．The people who built it.
34．Which of the following used to be a part of the Sphinx
A．Wings. B．The head of an ox. C．The body of a man. D．The face of a lion.
35．Which of the following is TRUE
A．The Sphinx was made of a lot of big stones. B．Both Nature and people damaged the Sphinx.
C．The Sphinx today looks the same as what it used to be. D．People protected the Sphinx very well.

She gave him $100,000 and the man ran away. Then we received a phone call from the bank clerk. She told us to go to the man’s house in Candy Town and get him. We caught him as soon as he got out of the elevator. He couldn’t believe that we found him so quickly. We told him that his name and address were on the front of the envelope he used!

Have you ever dreamed of travelling all the way over the rainbow Well, it’s easier than you think. All you need to do is to book a plane ticket to Rainbow Mountain in Peru (秘鲁).
Rainbow Mountain is a beautiful natural wonder. It lies in the Andes in Cusco (库斯科的安第斯山脉). As its name suggests, the mountain has different colours.
But why is it in yellow, green, red and purple The reason is the ice that covered the area centuries ago. When it started to melt (融化), the water mixed with the minerals (矿物质) in the ground and turned the earth into many colours.
If you plan your trip to the mountain, try to go during warmer months when there is less rain or snow. Rain or snow makes the climbing more difficult and the colours will look less beautiful. The best time is from March to November, when there are blue skies and pleasant weather. At the same time, visit it in the morning or evening, either right after sunrise or right before sunset. Very sunny days may make you not take nice photos.
To get to Rainbow Mountain, you should first travel to Cusco—a province in the south of Peru. Then you can take a drive to Qesoyuno. From there you can start the journey on foot. It takes about a two-or-three-hour walk to the top. This is really the best way, but the trip is very difficult. Because the mountain sits at a very high altitude (海拔) about 5,200 meters above the sea level, so bring enough water and take your time.
41．How does the writer start the passage
A．By listing a fact. B．By asking a question.
C．By telling a story. D．By giving an example.
42．What can we learn about Rainbow Mountain
A．It has seven different colours. B．It’s a man-made wonder.
C．It was covered by ice in the past. D．It’s the most famous place of Peru.
43．Which of the following is best time for a trip to Rainbow Mountain
A．At noon of a cold day in December. B．On the evening of a rainy day in August.
C．On the afternoon of a snowy day in January. D．On the morning of a sunny day in September.
44．Which of the following is TRUE
A．Rainbow Mountain lies in the Andes in Cusco.
B．Very sunny days will help you take nice photos on Rainbow Mountain.
C．From Cusco, it takes about 2 or 3 hours to walk to the top of Rainbow Mountain.
D．Rainbow Mountain sits at an altitude about 520 meters above the sea level.
45．What’s the passage mainly about
A．The way to get to Rainbow Mountain. B．An introduction to Rainbow Mountain.
C．The best time to go to Rainbow Mountain. D．The reason why it’s called Rainbow Mountain.

There must be someone visiting my room. I was very angry and decided to find out who did this. I guessed it might be a thief who broke in my room, but other rooms were clean and tidy. Then I thought it could be my little brother, who played in my room. However, he was too short to open the door. As I wondered, a lovely dog came out. At the same time, my parents came and told me it was my birthday present.
I was so happy that I didn’t care about the mess anymore. That birthday present is the best one that I’ve ever received.
