Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished .statements For each of them there are four chokes marked A. B. C and D. C
30、hoose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage. A Robert Spring, a 19th century forger (伪造签字者 ), was so good at his profession that he was able to make his living for 15 years by selling false signatures of famous Americans. Spring was born in England in 1813 and arri
31、ved in Philadelphia in 1858 to open a bookstore. At first he made some money by selling his small but genuine of early U.S. autographs ( 亲 笔签字 ). Discovering his ability at copying handwriting, he began imitating signatures of George Washington and Ban Franklin and writing them on the title pages of
32、 old books. To make less the chance of detection ( 发觉), he sent his forgeries ( 伪造物) to England and Canada for sale and circulation (销售). Forgers have a hard time selling their products. A forger cant approach a respectable buyer but must deal with people who dont have much knowledge in the field. F
33、orgers have many ways to make their work look real. For example, they buy old books to use the aged paper of the title page, and they can treat paper and ink with chemicals. In Springs time, right after the Civil War, Britain was still fond of the Southern states, so Spring invented a respectable ma
34、iden lady known as Miss Fanny Jackson, the only daughter of General “Stonewall“ Jackson. For several years Miss Fannys economic problems forced her to sell a great number of letters and manuscripts belonging to her famous father. Spring had to work very hard to satisfy the demand. All this activity
35、did not prevent Spring from dying in poverty, leaving sharp-eye experts the difficult task of separating this forgeries from the originals. 56. Why did Spring sell his autographs in England and Canada? A. There was a greater demand there than in America. B. There was less chance of being detected th
36、ere. C. Britain was Springs birthplace. D. The price were higher in England and Canada. 57. After the Civil War, there was a great demand in Britain for _. A. Southern money B. signatures of George Washington and Ben Franklin C. Southern manuscripts and letters D. Civil War battle plans 58. Robert S
37、pring spent 15 years _. A. running a bookstore in Philadelphia B. corresponding with Miss Fanny Jackson C. as a forger D. as a respectable dealer 59. According to the passage, forgeries are usually sold to _. A. sharp-eyed experts B. persons who arent experts C. book dealers D. owner of the old book
38、s 60. Who was Miss Fanny Jackson? A. The only daughter of General “Stonewall“ Jackson. B. A little-known girl who sold her fathers papers to Robert Spring. C. Robert Springs daughter. D. An imaginary person created by Spring. B Along with the Great Pyramid of Giza. The Sphinx(狮身人面像 ) is one of the m
39、ost studied ancient monument of mankinds history. The whole complex of Giza, composed of the Sphinx, the Great Pyramid, other pyramids, and distinct structures, definitely holds the key to understanding advanced past civilizations. In the examination of the mystery of the great Sphinx we run into a
40、similar situation. The Egyptians wrote very little about the construction of the Sphinx. However, the Egyptians, Romans, and Arabs did write accounts concerning its numerous restorations, which will be discussed later in this article. In addition, it should be said that other cultures had their form
41、 of a Sphinx. For example, the Greek Sphinx was a female with a human head, breast, and the body of a feminine lion. Now there are basically two schools of thought on the origin, the age and the builder of the Sphinx in Egypt. The traditional view of Egyptologists is that Pharaoh Khafre of the Fourt
42、h Dynasty built the Sphinx along with the Great Pyramid around 2,500 BC. The evidence is that the face of the Sphinx is thought to look like Pharaoh Khafre. This theory makes the Sphinx about 5,000 years old according to Dr Zahi Hawass, director of Giza Saqqara of the Egyptian Antiquities Organizati
43、on. The other school of thought doesnt believe that the Egyptians built the Sphinx, but thinks that it was built by an advanced civilization before the Egyptians. The Egyptians came later and built their tombs and temples along the sides of these great structures. This school of thought has been aro
44、und for hundreds of years, but new buildings give it more credibility. Recently, Graham Hancock , the author of the famous book Finger-prints of the Gods and some American scholars have presented certain evidence that challenges the traditional thought on the Sphinx. They present proofs that may cau
45、se a rethinking of the so-called fact used to determine who built the Sphinx and the Great Pyramid of Giza and for what purpose. Their proofs consist of basically two pieces of evidence astronomical(天文学的 ) calculations of the stars and geological evidence that the erosion( 侵蚀) of the Sphinx and othe
46、r monuments of Giza was due to water rather than sand, wind or sunshine according to Robert Bauvals book The Message of the Sphinx. It is this evidence that has turned the Egyptolog ists world upside down. 61.According to the traditional view of Egyptologists, the Sphinx was built by Pharaoh Khafre
47、because _. A. the face of the Sphinx looks like Pharaoh Khafre. B. the Great Pyramid was built by Pharaoh Khafre. C. Pharaoh Khafre built his tomb beside the Sphinx. D. Pharaoh Khafre left books showing he built the Sphinx. 62.The underlined word “credibility” in the fourth paragraph probably means
48、“the quality of being _”. A. doubted B. judged C. believed D. controlled 63. The surface of the Sphinx was destroyed by _. A. water B. wind C. sand D. sunshine 64.Which of the following is the main purpose of the passage? A. To show the importance of the Sphinx. B. To tell us two views on the origin
49、 of the Sphinx. C. To introduce an advanced civilization to us. D. To explain some mysteries of the Sphinx. 65. What would most possibly be discussed in the following section? A. What the form and sizes of the Sphinx are. B. The observations of the Sphinx have been made in the present and past. C. The proof the Arabs have offers to support their theory on the Sphinx. D. The account
