Valcamonica has one of the largest collections of rock drawings in the world. There have been about 200,000 figures and symbols carved into the rocks over a time period of approximately 8,000 years. Valcamonica's pictures show various scenes and are connected through common themes like magic, war, navigation and agriculture.

The rock drawings discovered in Valcamonica were the first prehistoric symbols of their kind recognized anywhere in the world. UNESCO first recognized the drawings in 1979 when about 140,000 were discovered, however, since then many more have been uncovered.

These drawings are spread all across the valley. The carvings began to taper off during the Iron Age and fewer appeared after that. The last period has been attributed to (歸功于……)  the Camunni people. Still there are drawings that have been identified as being from the 19th century. Many of these were created using the technique of engraving (雕刻).

Some of the figures discovered in Valcamonica have been superimposed (疊印) without any order, but in most cases they appear in logical orders and also explain the relationship between each picture or symbol to tell a story.

The first known modern report of the rock carvings was in 1909 when Walther Laeng happened upon two decorated rocks in Capo di Ponte. Scholars only took interest in the drawings in the 1920s. More rocks with engravings were soon found in the areas nearby and research into their history began. In the 1930s comprehensive study campaigns were undertaken.

It was after the Second World War that the cataloging and mapping of the engravings began. This task was taken up by various teams of experts from Italy and other countries that were led by Laeng. In 1955 preservation work on the rocks began.

In 1968, a large series of conferences were held where scholars from all over the world met to discuss the rock drawings, which give us some idea of what various societies of the past might have been like.

1.What do we know about Valcamonica's pictures?

A. They tell a long whole story.

B. They are interrelated in some ways.

C. They were carved 8,000 years ago.

D. They were first discovered in 1979.

2.The underlined part “taper off” in Paragraph 3 can best be replaced by “_____”.

A. turn up B. go up C. die out D. stand out

3.What is Paragraph 5 mainly about?

A. The history of the rock drawings.

B. The features of the rock drawings.

C. The discovery of the rock drawings.

D. The formation of the rock drawings.

4.Studies of the rock drawings _____.

A. show us the development of art

B. started after the Second World War

C. were conducted by scholars from UNESCO

D. help us know something about societies of the past

About a year ago,Aliprandi and the parents who raised him accepted an offer from the Plasters to move to their farm,where they built a home.“This is the way it should be,”Adelson Plaster recently told Globo TV.“We are all together and I now have two sons living and working here.”

The koala(考拉) is possibly one of the best known Australian animals, and is found in four states: Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria and South Australia.

The word “koala” comes from an Australian word meaning “no drink”. Sometimes people call them “koala bears” but koala is not a bear. It belongs to a special group of Australian mammals, called marsupial(有袋類). Female marsupials have a pouch where the baby animals live after they are born.

Koalas have soft, thick, gray or brown fur on their backs. The fur on the stomach is white. The Koala in the south have thicker fur than those in the north because of the cold winters. However, the koalas in the northern part live in warm to hot weather most of the year, so they have thinner fur.A koala has a large nose and round ears. Koalas don’t have tails. Adult koalas weigh between 7kg and 14 kg.

Koalas spend nearly all their time in the trees. They sleep most of the day, but feed and move from tree to tree mainly at night.The reason koala sleep for much of the day is because their food, eucalyptus(桉樹) leaves, are so hard that they need a lot of energy(能量;精力)to digest. Sleeping saves energy.

Each koala has a home made up of several trees that they visit regularly. They normally do not visit another koala’s home trees except that a male is looking for a female to mate with.

1.Which of the following statements is NOT true about the name “koala bear”?

A. The name was given by the native in Australia

B. The word “koala” is an English word

C. The name describes one of its living habits

D. The name is partly wrong.

2.Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word “pouch”?

A. House B. Cave C. Bag D. Nest

3.. Why do the koalas live in the south have thicker fur than those in the north?

A. The thick fur can protect them from the colder weather

B. It’s always hot in summer in the north

C. It’s always cold in the winter in the south

D. They have to move to the north in the winter

4.Why do koalas sleep much in the day?

A. Their foods are poisonous

B. Their food needs too much energy.

C. They want to save energy for the activities at night

D. They can’t get enough water from their leaves

One day, a patient came to see me. He worked as a waiter in a restaurant and his problem was acid reflux (胃酸倒流), a disease that influences as many as 40 percent of Americans, a marked increase in recent years. Reflux can lead to esophageal (食道的) cancer, which has increased by about 500 percent since the 1970s. The drugs we use to treat reflux don’t always work and may even increase the risk of developing cancer when used long term.

What is responsible for these worrying developments? For one, our poor diet, with its huge increases in the intake of sugar, fat, soft drinks, and unhealthy foods. But another important fact has been overlooked: dinnertime. Over the past twenty years, the time of my patients’ evening meals has become later and later. Dinner — already pushed back by longer work hours — is often further delayed by activities such as shopping and exercise.

In my experience, the single most important treatment for reflux is to avoid late eating. A patient with reflux came to see me because her father and uncle died of esophageal cancer, and she was afraid of getting it too. Her nightly routine (常規(guī)) included a 9 p.m. dinner with at least two bottles of red wine. The reflux was serious, and changes were needed.

She listened, then did not come back to see me for a year. “For the first two months, I just hated you,” she told me, “and for the next two months, I was having some trouble eating. I guessed I was going to die of esophageal cancer.” Then she added, “You know, we’re the reason that it’s not so easy to get 6 p.m. reservations (預(yù)約) at the good restaurants anymore.”

To stop the increase in reflux disease, we have to stop eating at least three hours before bed. As for my waiter patient? I told him to eat dinner before 7 p.m. Within six weeks, his reflux was gone.

1.The disease the waiter caught is _____.

A. on the rise

B. easy to control

C. unusual in America

D. the most dangerous cancer

2.What does the underlined word “overlooked” in Paragraph 2 mean?

A. Talked about a lot.

B. Paid no attention to.

C. Carefully looked into.

D. Taken into consideration.

3.Why did the woman patient hate the author?

A. He spoke of her dead father and uncle.

B. He asked her to change her eating habits.

C. He couldn’t find a way to deal with her problem.

D. He couldn’t make her healthy again within a year.

4.The author writes the text to tell us _____.

A. not to work late at night

B. to avoid eating at restaurants

C. unhealthy foods cause cancer

D. the danger of eating late at night
