Unit 1 Cultural relics 知识点题库

    Daban town is famous for girls and windmills, while Loulan is a myth (神话) in the desert. Two thousand years ago, beside the beautiful Luobu Lake, there lay Loulan ancient city of the Silk Road. Businessmen from every country gathered there with lots of dancing parities. Everything shows that people in Loulan lived a rich life then.

    However, two thousand years later, this rich land suddenly disappeared from the map of China. It became an area covered with sand and dead tree trunks.

    Loulan was first "discovered" by a Swedish man named Sven Hedin in 1900, and people from America, Britain, Japan and Sweden all set foot here. Then in the 1930s, a Chinese named Huang Wenbi came to Loulan for the first time. He visited and studied this area and found many relics that were beautifully and carefully made.

    It is recorded that the ancient city of Loulan was the capital of the Loulan Kingdom during the Han and Jin Dynasties, and covered an area of some 10, 000 square kilometres. Inside the city, there are the ruins of government offices, temples and other old buildings. Outside the city there are some dried-up rivers and much farmland. In the past century many things have been dug up there including Han Dynasty coins, mirrors and many others of Greek and Roman times. All these things show that a lot of business between the East and the West once took place there.

    Lying on the northwest of the Lop Nur area, the Loulan Kingdom is now a lifeless area with endless ＂forests＂ of mounds (小丘) which aren't easily seen in other parts of the world. Its mystery has been attracting many people from many countries.

    One day, I was cooking in the kitchen when the telephone rings. I went to answer it immediately. She was my close friend, Lisa. When we were talking on a phone, the fire alarm sounded. I rushed back to the kitchen. The room full of smoke and the beef was bad burnt. I quickly turned off the gas, opening all the windows, and then rushed out of the house. In my surprise, two fire engines were outside my house. I was rather worrying. I told about the firemen that it was my careless cooking which caused the heavy smoke.

    Yosemite is a national park in California. It is very beautiful and big. The park includes more than 760,000 acres (英亩) in the California Mountains. Most of the park is wild (荒凉的).

    The part of Yosemite that everyone likes is Yosemite Valley. It is a small valley that is 7 miles long and less than 1 mile wide. It has tall rock walls and streams that flow down in waterfalls. More than two million visitors come to the valley each year.

    It's said that the number of visitors is more than the land can hold. The valley has 4,500 camping places. It has a hotel that can hold 4,000 families. This is still not enough to serve all of the visitors. The valley has grown so big that it has a lot of traffic.

    A worker says the park is trying to keep the beauty of the park and let everyone visit. Some areas have been rounded up (圈起来) to keep people away and planted with seeds to try to keep them beautiful.

    A former worker thinks Yosemite should get more money to take better care of the park. He would also like to teach people what the park service is trying to do.

    Some people are trying to save Yosemite Valley. A plan has been made to remove some buildings. There will be fewer cars allowed inside the park. More buses will help get people around.

    My nephew's 10-year-old son came for a visit one hot, July weekend. I persuaded him to 1 inside and joined him in a game. After 2 for an hour, I suggested that we relax for a while. I 3 my favorite chair to let my neck relax. He left the room and I was catching a few enjoyable4 of peace.

    “Look, Alice,” he said excitedly as he 5 over to the chair where I was sitting. “I found a kite. Could we go outside and 6 it?” Looking out of a nearby window, I noticed it was 7 outside. “I'm sorry. Tripper,” I said, sad to see his 8 expression. “The wind is not 9today. The kite won't fly.”

    The 1010-year-old boy replied, “I think it's windy enough. I can get it to fly,” he answered 11he hurried out to the back door.

    He ran back and forth, as 12as his ten-year-old legs would carry him, looking back 13 at the kite behind. After about ten minutes of unsuccessful trying, he came back in.

    I asked, “How did it 14?” “Fine,” he said, not wanting to admit (承认) the failure. “I got it to fly some.”15 I heard him say secretly, “I guess I'll have to wait for the 16”

    At that moment I heard another voice speak to my17“Alice, sometimes you are just like that. You want to do it your way 18waiting for the wind.”

    And the voice was 19. We usually want to use our own efforts to 20what we want to do. We must learn how to make use of “the wind”in the first place!

All the people went out the lost child.

A FACT OR AN OPINION?

    What is a fact? Is it something that people believe? No. A fact is anything which can be proved. For an example.it can be proved that China has many people than any other country in the world. This is a fact.

    Then what is an opinion? An opinion is what someone believe is true but has not been proved. So an opinion is not good evidence in a trial. For example, it is an opinion if you say "Cats are better pets than dogs". It may be true, but it is difficultly to prove. Some people may not agree this opinion but they also cannot prove that we are right.

    In a trial, a judge must decide which eyewitnesses to believe and which not to believe. The judge does not consider how each eyewitness looks like or where that person lives or works. He /She only cares about whether the eyewitness has given true informations which must be facts rather than opinions. This kind of information is calling evidence
