2.Sometimes a book comes along that isn't just "interesting" or "well done"-- it's a book where it seems like the author looked into your brain and wrote a book specifically for you.A book like that for me was released this week.It's called 100 Things We've Lost to the Internet,written by editor Pamela Paul.
Paul lists 100 things we used to do that the Internet has either changed or taken over completely:writing letters,print newspapers,the joys of being bored,and hot having all the knowledge in the world in your pocket.
As I'm a longtime accumulator of random knowledge,certain entries on the list---Being the Only One,F(xiàn)iguring Out Who That Actor is--- hit me where live;remembering detailed facts is no longer nearly as impressive when everyone has the capability to find the answer in seconds.
On and on the list goes,with every minor shift adding to the pile.What this book does so well is illustrate the growth of that pile;while any individual item might be no big deal,the collected set is significant.It's a list of ways in which the world now is different from the world then.
Obviously,Paul isn't saying that everything back then was better.Time marches on,after all.jye.ai it's tough to argue against the many benefits that the Internet has brought into our lives.But that isn't really the point.It's not about whether it used to be better.It's that it used to be different.
100 Things We've Lost to the Internet is a fun read for those of us who share some of Paul's memories and experiences.We remember what it was like and we like to remember.The landscape has shifted,and no doubt it will shift again as technology's advancement continues apace.This book serves as a reminder of the simple truth that when gains are made,sometimes something is lost.
(1)What is the purpose of the text?
A.To review and recommend a good read.
B.To comment on the effect of the Internet.
C.To argue for the viewpoint of a new book.
D.To urge the readers to value what they have.
(2)Which might be entries on Paul's list?
A.Maps and Eye Contact.
B.E-pay and Compact Disks.
C.Postcards and Homeschooling
D.Bad Photos and Washing Machines.
(3)What does the underlined phrase "hit me where I live" in paragraph 3 mean?
A.Prove what I'm good at.
B.Introduce how I grew up.
C.Describe the place I live in.
D.Speak out what is on my mind.
(4)What conclusion has the author drawn after reading Paul's book?
A.Things in the past are better.
B.There're no gains without pains.
C.The internet is a double-edged sword.
D.Technology is constantly changing the world.組卷:18引用:1難度:0.5 -
3.Discoveries at the famous Sanxingdui ruins in Southwest China show that the region's ancient Shu Kingdom Civilization shared similarities with the Maya.
The Sanxingdui ruins belonged to the Shu Kingdom that existed at least 4,800 years ago and lasted more than 2,000 years,while the Mayan civilization built its city-states around 200 AD.
The bronze-made remains of tress unearthed at the ruins of the Shu Kingdom resemble the sacred ceiba tree,which symbolized the union of heaven,earth and the underworld in the Mayan civilization. "They are very important similarities," says Santos,a Mexican archaeologist (考古學(xué)家) stressing that "the representations of tress in both cultures provide a symbolism that is very similar".
The findings at the Sanxingdui ruins,considered one of the greatest archaeological discoveries of the 20th century,also show ne aspect of Bronze Age culture,indicating the ancient civilization already had technologies that were thought to have been developed much later.
While the lime span between the Shu kingdom and the Mayan culture is great,the findings highlight the closeness between the two civilizations.They developed in areas with comparable climates and reflected their worldview through related symbols. "In the end,man is still man,independent of time and space.What we have is that,at this latitude (緯度),both the Shu people and the Mayans looked at the same sky and had the same stars on the horizon," the expert says.
One notable feature of the recent discoveries at Sanxingdui was the cross-subject work and technology applied by teams of Chinese archaeologists,which allowed the unearthing of artifacts as fragile as silk remains,which other types of less careful digging methods would not have been able to register.
Cooperation between Chinese and Mexican archaeologists could benefit projects in the Mayan world,where the rainy climate and humidity are problematic for the conservation of ruins.
"Every time our cultural knowledge increases,regardless of whether we speak one language or another,what it shows us is that we continue to be sister cultures and,therefore,the exchange of such knowledge is fundamental," says Santos.
(1)What is a similarity between the Shu Kingdom and Maya civilization?
A.Their starting time.
B.Their historical origins.
C.Their cultural symbols.
D.Their ceremony traditions.
(2)The findings at the Sanxingdui ruins have proved that
A.silk was a common clothing material then
B.some technologies were developed much earlier
C.the Bronze Age started earlier than previously assumed
D.the Shu Kingdom and the Mayan world had close contact
(3)What is a common challenge for the conservation of both ruins?
A.Damp weather.
B.Positioning of ruins.
C.High latitude.
D.Language barriers.
(4)What is the focus of Santos quote in the last paragraph?
A.The future of the China-Mexico cooperation.
B.The benefits of speaking a different language.
C.The importance of the exchange of cultural knowledge.
D.The increasing sisterhood in culture between China and Mexico.組卷:16引用:6難度:0.6
