Here are some famous ones.King Tut’s CurseIn 1923, a British archaeological team opened the tomb of "King Tut". Two months later, when the team’s sponsor died from a bacterial infection, British newspapers claimed that was because of "King Tut’s curse". Whenever other members of the team died, the media mentioned the curse gain.Though it’s not clear how many people took the curses seriously, these stories became popular subjects for some horror movies and comedies.The Curse of the Polish King’s tombIn 1973, a group of archaeologists opened the tomb of Polish king Casimir IV in Poland. European media covered the great event, and the researchers joked they were risking a curse on the tomb by opening it.When some team members began to die shortly after, some media suspected it was due to a curse. Later, experts discovered traces of deadly bacteria inside the tomb that could cause lung illnesses when breathed in.The Curse of TippecanoeIn the mid-20th century, US media began to note a pattern that, starting with Harrison and ending with Kennedy, every 20years the country elected a president to die in office.Believe It or Not claimed the "pattern" was due to a curse placed by the chief of Shawnee, Tecumseh, on Harrison and future presidents after Harrison’s troops defeated Tecumseh’s at the battle of Tippecanoe in 1811. This story bears a similarity to other "curses" in US books and movies about disturbing Native burial grounds.【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了几个著名诅咒的故事。1.What can be learned from the first two curses?A.

Historians and scientists have long believed that ancient Egypt’s most famous king was probably murdered. But a recent scientific study claims to have found a different answer to this more than 3,300-year-old mystery. A team of researchers now say that King Tut, the boy ruler, died of complications(并发症)from a broken leg.Tut’s full name was Tutankhamun. He was just 9 years old when he became the ruler of Egypt in 1333 BC. His treasure-filled tomb was discovered almost a century ago. It was filled with royal riches, including a solid-gold coffin, a gold mask, and piles of jewelry.Unfortunately Tut died at the age of 19. Many experts have thought that Tut was killed by one of his advisers, named Ay, who wanted to be king. But thanks to a major modern science project, it seems Ay is innocent.Researchers set out to solve the mystery of King Tut’s death by using the tools of science, including DNA tests and electronic scans of his mummy(木乃伊). Scientist Carsten Pusch carried out the tests on Tut for the new study. He thinks a broken leg led to the young king’s death. More than 100 walking sticks were found in King Tut’s tomb. This supports the team’s findings. But how could a person die from a simple broken leg?Pusch also found DNA evidence in Tut’s body that shows he had malaria, a disease carried by mosquitoes. Malaria seriously weakens the immune system(免疫系统).Pusch and his fellow researchers believe the malaria and the bone disease together caused the king’s fracture(骨折)to become deadly. Finally, the young king was just too weak to recover. So effects of the disease combined with the bad luck of a broken bone — not a jealous adviser — are likely the real causes of King Tut’s death.4.It has long been believed by historians and scientists that ______.A. King Tut was the youngest ruler in the world historyB. King Tut was the richest ruler in the history of EgyptC. King Tut was murdered by one of his advisersD. King Tut was poisoned by one of his servants5.With the help of modern technology, the new study discovered that the king ______.A. died directly of a disease called malaria  B. died of complications from a broken legC. died of a simple cut in the broken leg   D. was bitten to death by deadly mosquitoes6.Researchers uncovered the mystery of King Tut’s death by ______.A. testing the King’s immune system   B. studying the walking sticks found in the tombC. performing experiments on mosquitoes  D. applying DNA tests and electronic scan technology7.The passage mainly tells us about ______.A. a different answer to King Tut’s death   B. a famous boy king in ancient EgyptC. a treasure-filled tomb discovered in Egypt  D. a team of researchers studying ancient tombsC(2020·湖北高二开学考试)A great woman once said, “Women must try to do things as men have tried. When they fail, their failure must be a challenge to others. “These are the words of US pilot Amelia Earhart(1897- 1937), a pioneer in aviation(航空领域), who was the first woman to fly across the Atlantic OceanHer story ended in mystery when she disappeared without a trace(踪迹)during a flight over the Pacific Ocean. Theories about what happened to Earhart were proposed, but nothing was ever confirmed—until now. A study published in March conducted by Richard Jantz from the University of Tennessee, US, determined that bones found in 1940 on a remote Pacific island belonged to Earhart. Following the discovery, the world’s memories of the legendary female pilot were brought back to life.Earhart was born in 1897. When she was young, she was very interested in stories about women who were successful in male-dominated(男性为主的)professions, such as engineering and law. But in 1920, Earhart’s life changed after her first experience of being a plane passenger. As soon as the plane left the ground, Earhart knew that she loved flying, so she found herself a teacher and started to learn how to fly for herself. To pay for the lessons and buy a plane of her own, she took all sorts of jobs.Inl932, Earhart flew solo(独自地)across the Atlantic, becoming the first woman ever to do so. She also designed a flying suit for women and went on to design other clothes for women who led active lives. When she was nearly 40, Earhart was ready for a final challenge—to be the first woman to fly around the world. Her first attempt was unsuccessful but she tried again in 1937 with her navigator(领航员)Fred Noonan. But one month later, they disappeared in bad weather in mid-flight.Even though it’s still not clear how she ended up on the island, we’re one step closer to finding the answer. And no matter what, Earhart will be forever remembered as a brave pioneer, both as a pilot and as a woman.8.When did Earhart first fly across the Atlantic Ocean alone?A. In 1920.    B. In 1932.   C. In 1937.   D. In 1940.9.What started Earhart’s interest in flying?A. Her parent’s influence.      B. Her teachers’ encouragement.C. Her first experience as a passenger.   D. Her childhood love for engineering.10.Which of the following words best describes Earhart?A. Open-minded and patient.     B. Creative and helpful.C. Talented and outgoing.      D. Pioneering and determined.11.What’s the article mainly about?A. The discovery of Earhart’s bones.   B. What made Earhart a great pilot.C. The inspiring life story of Earhart    D. Some possible causes of Earhart’s death.D(2020·北京高三)In 1888 an Egyptian farmer digging in the sand near the village of Istabl Antar uncovered a mass tomb. The bodies weren’t human. They were feline—ancient cats that had been mummified and buried in holes in astonishing numbers. “Not one or two here and there”, reported English Illustrated Magazine, “but dozens, hundreds, hundreds of thousands, a layer of them, a layer thicker than most coal joints, ten to twenty cats deep.” Some of the linen-wrapped cats still looked presentable, and a few even had golden faces. Village children peddled the best ones to tourists for change; the rest were sold as fertilizer(肥料). One ship transported about 180,000, weighing some 38, 000 pounds, to Liverpool to be spread on the fields of England. Those were the days of generously funded(资助的)explorations—that dragged through acres of desert in their quest for royal tombs, and for splendid gold and painted masks to decorate the museums of Europe and America. The many thousands of mummified animals that turned up at religious sites throughout Egypt were just things to be cleared away to get treasure. Few people studied them, and their importance was generally unrecognized. In the century since then, archaeology(考古学)has become less of a treasure hunt and more of a science. Archaeologists now realize that much of their sites’ wealth lies in the majority of details about ordinary folks—what they did, what they thought, how they prayed. And animal mummies are a big part of that. “They’re really displays of daily life,” says Egyptologist Salima Ikram. After looking beneath bandages with x-rays and cataloguing her findings, she created a gallery for the collection—a bridge between people today and those of long ago. “You look at these mummified animals, and suddenly you say, Oh, King So-and-So had a pet. I have a pet. And instead of being at a distance of 5,000-plus years, the ancient Egyptians become clearer and closer to us.”12.The underlined word “peddled” in Paragraph 1 probably means    _    .A. examined   B. displayed   C. replaced   D. shared13.What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?A. Treasure hunting explorations.    B. Egyptian Royal tombs in desert.C. Mummified animals in museums.    D. Big archaeological discoveries.14.From the last paragraph, we can learn that Salima Ikram      _  .A. wishes to keep the continuity of pets over historyB. wants to identify the King’s personal belongings and classify themC. believes that studying the remains can help modern society relate to the pastD. doubts if current society will understand the significance of Egyptian remains15.The passage probably encourages the readers to    _    .A. make full use of the remains the ancestors left behindB. become more sensitive to the ancient lifestyle of the ancestorsC. pay more attention to the historical and cultural value of ancient remainsD. understand there are more the historical remains waiting for explorations二、七选五根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。(2021·全国高二课时练习)Exploring the North PolePeople have always had the desire to explore new places. Explorers throughout history have been motivated by the prospect of fame and fortune.     1    . The first North Pole explorers were in search of the Northwest Passage, a way through the Arctic that would make trade easier for the country that discovered it.     1    , the world started seeing the Arctic as a frozen treasure chest. In fact, a U.S. Geological Survey guesses that nearly 25 percent of the world’s undiscovered oil and gas are buried in the Arctic, which is a big reason for the disagreements among the countries that are claiming the region for themselves.  There were occasional North Pole expeditions in the 18th century. In 1755, the British Parliament offered a reward to the first ship to go to the Pole.     3    . In 1908, American Frederick Albert Cook became the first person to claim to have reached the North Pole. But his countryman Robert Edwin Peary disputed the claim. Peary claimed that with a team of 24 men, 19 sleds and 133 sled dogs he made the first visit to the North Pole, on April 6, 1909.     4    . The doubt rests mostly on the length of Peary’s trip: 37 days.     5    . However, in April, 2005, explorer Tom Avery recreated Peary’s sled expedition with the same materials and supplies, and beat Peary’s time by five hours. Some still doubt whether Peary actually made it to the North Pole, but he’s now generally referred to be the first. A. The North Pole isn’t the coldest place on EarthB. Most expeditions of the era took months—at leastC. But there’s still some argument attached to the claimD. However, it was until the early 1900s that things really got goingE. When these explorers came back with tales of diamonds and coal near the PoleF. North Pole exploration is no exception三、完形填空阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。(改编自2021·湖南衡阳市·高三一模)Starting as a journey to find the true meaning of happiness, The Smile Project began in the late fall of 2011 as Liz drove home from school.“I had my windows down and my radio up.

The sample,    3    includes 1,700 grams of lunar rocks and soil, is larger than previous ones. The great increase in its weight can be owed to Chang’e 5’s lunar orbit unmanned docking(会合)program, in which the two parts of Chang’e 5 can    4   (automatic)combine into a whole in orbit.It is also important to note that the greatest    5   (amaze)of the journey is Chang’e 5’s lunar landing site-referred to    6    the Ocean of Storms-on the near side of the moon, where no probes(探测器)have paid   7    visit before. It’s geologically younger than the sampling    8   (area)of the US and the former Soviet missions, so the new sample will help fill in an important piece of the puzzle of the Moon’s history.The delivery marked the start of research into the sample, the administration said in a statement,    9   (add)that it will not merely publish guidelines on the sample’s distribution and use,    10    will also encourage scientists from around the world to participate.五、写作写作(一)(2021·陕西西安市·西安中学高三其他模拟)假定你是李华，你的外国笔友Jeff得知你参加了你校学生会主办的“The Chinese Scientist I Admire Most”故事分享会，写信询问有关情况。请你回复邮件。内容包括：1.感谢关注；2.你的分享；3.你的感想。注意：1.词数100左右；2.可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________写作(二)(2021·江苏高三期末)I used to feel sorry for that ugly black piece of stone lying like a cow in front of our door; none knew when it was left there and none paid any attention to it, except at the time when wheat was harvested and my grandma, seeing the grains of wheat spread all over the ground in the front yard of the house, would complain, “This ugly stone takes so much space. Move it away someday.”My uncle had wanted to use it for the gable when he was building a house, but he was troubled to find it of very irregular shape, with no edges nor corner. He didn’t take a fancy to the ugly stone.One year when a mason(石工)came by, we asked him to make us a stone mill with it But the mason took a look and shook his head. It was not like a fine piece of white marble on which words or flowers could be carved, nor like a smooth big stone people used to wash their clothes on.The stone just lay there in silence, enjoying no shading from the trees by the yard, nor flowers growing around it. We children began to dislike the stone too, and would have taken it away if we had been strong enough；all we could do for the present was to leave it alone, despite our disgust or even curses.The only thing that had interested us in the ugly stone was a little pit on top of it, which was filled with water on rainy days. Three days after a rainfall, usually, when the ground had become dry, there was still water in the pit. And when it came to the evening, we would climb onto the stone, looking up at the sky, hoping to see the moon come out from far away. And Granny would give us a scolding, afraid lest we should fall down-and sure enough, I fell down once to have my knees broken. So everybody condemned the stone: an ugly stone, as ugly as it could be. 注意：1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右；2.续写部分分为两段, 每段的开头语已为你写好。Paragraph 1: Then one day an astronomer came to the village. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Paragraph 2: We never expected it should be so great. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
