    Who Built Giza's Pyramids(金字塔)?
    1 .For centuries,the pyramids of Giza have been timeless symbols of Egyptian culture.But who actually built them? For years, we did not know for sure.But archeologists(考古学家)recently discovered an ancient village near the pyramids.Close by,there was also a ceme-tery(墓地)where pyramid builders were buried.From studying these places, archeologists can now confirm that the pyramids were not built by slaves or foreigners.Ordinary Egyptians built them.
    2 .It took about eighty years to build the pyramids.According to archeologists,about 20,000~30,000 people were involved in completing the task.The workers had different roles.Some dug up the rock,some moved it,and some shaped it into blocks.People also worked on different teams,each with its own name.On a wall in Khufu's Great Pyramid,for example,a group of workers wrote“Friends of Khufu.”Teams often competed to do a job faster.
    3.Life for these workers was hard.“We can see that in their skeletons(骨架),”says Azza Mohamed Sarry El-Din,a scientist studying bodies found in the cemetery.The bones show signs of arthritis(关节炎),which developed from carrying heavy things for a long time.Archeologists have also found many female skeletons in the village and cemetery.The damage to their bones is similar to the men's.Their lives may have been even tougher:male workers lived to age 40~45,but women to only 30~35.However,workers usually had enough food,and they also had medical care if they got sick or hurt.
    4 .The work was challenging,but laborers were proud of their work.“It's because they were not just building the tomb of their king,” says Egyptian archeologist Zahi Hawass.“They were building Egypt.It was a national project,and everyone was a participant.”

    The pyramids of Giza were built______.
    A:of their king
    B:from taking heavy things
    C:on different teams
    D:by foreigners
    E:of their work
    F:by ordinary Egyptians

    答案:F

    Directions:In this section, there is one passage followed by a summary. Read the passage carefully and complete the summary below by choosing no more than three words from the passage. Remember to write the answers on the Answer Sheet.  Questions 1 - 5 are based on the following passage.The United Kingdom  Britain (or Great Britain) is an island that lies off the north-west coast of Europe. The nearest country is France, which is 20 miles away and from which Britain is separated by the English Channel. The island is surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean to the west, and the North Sea to the east. It comprises the mainlands of England, Wales and Scotland, that is, three countries. Scotland is in the north, while Wales is in the west. Ireland, which is also an island, lies off the west coast of Britain. It consists of Northern Ireland and the Irish Republic. Britain together with Northern Ireland constitute the United Kingdom (UK). Thus, the United Kingdom is composed of four countries, the largest of which is England. The capital city is London, which is situated in south-east England.  The UK has a total area of about 244,100 square kilometres (94,248 square miles). About 70% of the land area is devoted to agriculture, about 7% is wasteland, moorland and mountains, about 13% is devoted to urban development, and 10% is forest and woodland. The northern and western regions of Britain, that is Scotland and Wales, are mainly mountainous and hilly. Parts of the north-west and centre of England also consist of mountains and hills.  Britain has a generally mild and temperate climate. It is, however, subject to frequent changes. It has an average annual rainfall of about 120 centimetres (47 inches).  In 1998 the population of the United Kingdom was nearly 59 million. The density of population was approximately 240 people per square kilometre. However, in England, where 83% of the population live, the density was much higher, about 363 per square kilometre.  In the UK, English is the first language of the vast majority of people. However, in western Wales, Welsh is the first language for many of the people. In Scotland only a small number of people speak Gaelic.  In Britain about 66% of the population say that they are Christian, while fewer than 5% say that they belong to other religions.

  • 第11题:

    问答题
    Research published in May 1998 by the Department of the Environment, Transport and the Regions (DETR) showed that reducing coastal and river pollution and ensuring a reliable water supply were among the top environmental priorities for the public.  All discharges to water in the UK require the consent of the appropriate regulatory authority. In England and Wales the Environment Agency’s principal method of controlling water pollution is through the regulation of all effluent discharges, including sewage, into groundwater, and inland and coastal waters. The Agency maintains public registers containing information about water quality, discharge consents, authorizations and monitoring. Applicants for consents to discharge have the right of appeal if they are dissatisfied with the Agency’s decision; most of these appeals are dealt with by the Planning Inspectorate, an executive agency of the DETR. In Scotland control is the responsibility of the Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA), and most appeals are dealt with by the Scottish Office. In Northern Ireland the Environment and Heritage Service is responsible for controlling water pollution.  In 1997, there were 4,717 cases in England and Wales of discharges exceeding their consented limits, including a number of offences by water companies discharging insufficiently treated sewage. The majority of these breaches did not cause any significant environmental damage. However, the Environment Agency did bring 65 cases to court, of which 61 were successful, resulting in fines ranging from £ 440 to £ 12,000 and one prison sentence of two months. In Scotland, there were 2,734 pollution incidents in 1997; SEPA seeks prosecution in all significant cases.  In 1997 and 1998, the Government introduced statutory Environmental Quality Standards (EQSs) for 33 substances in water. The new regulations give legal force for the first time to standards for some of the most dangerous pollutants found in the aquatic environment.  In the UK, 96 percent of the population live in properties connected to a sewer, and sewage treatment works serve over 80 percent of the population. In England and Wales, the water industry is committed to an investment programme of some £ 11,000 million over ten years for improvements to water quality.  Progressively higher treatment standards for industrial waste effluents and new measures to combat pollution from agriculture are expected to bring further improvements in water quality. In Scotland, responsibility for the provision of all water and sewerage services lies with three Water and Sewerage Authorities, covering the north, east and west of the country.

    正确答案: 【参考译文】
    根据英国环境交通部于l998年5月公布的研究报告,减少沿海水域与河流的污染,保证供应安全用水,乃是广大公众在环保方面的当务之急。
    在英国,向水中倾倒任何东西,都需征得有关管理部门的同意。在英格兰和威尔士,环境署控制水污染的主要方法是监控一切流入地下水及内陆和沿海水域的废水,包括污水。环境署存有公开的记录,记载着水质、排放许可、授权单位、监督情况等事项。申请排放许可者如对环境署的决定不满,有权上诉,大多由计划督察团接受处理——督察团是部属的一个执行机构。在苏格兰,是由苏格兰环保署(SEPA)负责监控,上诉大多由驻苏格兰办事处接受处理。在北爱尔兰,水污染由环境与遗产局负责监控。
    1997年,在英格兰和威尔士共发生4717起超过许可限度的排污事件,其中有一些是水公司的过错,这些公司排放了未经充分处理的污水。这些违规行为绝大部分都没有对环境造成重大危害。然而,环境署也的确将65起违规事件送上法庭,其中61起环境署胜诉,判处的罚款自440镑至12000镑不等,还有一起判处败诉方两个月徒刑。在苏格兰,1997年共发生污染事件2734起;苏格兰环境保护署对情节严重者均予起诉。
    1997和1998年,政府实行法定环境质量标准,涉及水中33种物质。新规定使得关于在水中发现的几种最危险的污染物的标准第一次具有法律效力。
    在英国,96%人口的住宅与下水道系统相连,污水处理厂能为80%以上的人口服务。在英格兰和威尔士,水工业承诺在十年间将投资约110亿英镑,以改善水质。逐步提高工业废水处理标准,采取新措施以治理农业造成的污染,预计将会进一步提高水质。在苏格兰,三个给水排污管理局负责给水和排污的事宜,分管全国的北部、东部和西部地区。
