Christ Mcked, by the Flrentine master Cimabue, was sld at auctin(拍卖)fr €24 millin in 2019. But the Chilean buyers never gt t include the wrk in their cllectin because the French gvernment refused t give it an exprt licence.
Ministers declared the painting a natinal treasure, fficially giving the Luvre 30 mnths t raise the funds fr its purchase. The Luvre recently reached an agreement with the wners.
Laurence des Cars, the president f the Luvre, said it was a “great jy” t have acquired the painting, which “cnstitutes a crucial landmark in the histry f art”. The museum did nt say hw much it had paid, nr wh had sld the painting, which will be exhibited in 2025.
The painting was sptted fur years ag by Philmene Wlf, an auctineer, when she was asked t assess the cntent s f a huse that was being cleared. The wner, in her nineties, thught it was a painting frm Russia f n value and was preparing t put it in the dustbin.
Wlf was struck by its quality and guessed that it culd be Italian. Experts using mdern technlgy cnfirmed that it was by Cimabue, wh is widely regarded as having pened the gateway t Renaissance art. It is believed t date frm 1280. Christ Mcked is ne f abut 15 knwn Cimabue’s wrks.
The Luvre launched an appeal n Tuesday fr dnatins t buy anther painting, The Basket f Wild Strawberries by Jean Simen Chardin, the 18th-century French still life(静物画)master. The wrk, which was first exhibited in 1761, was in a private cllectin frm the 19th century until last year, when it was sld fr €24.3 millin t an American art museum at an auctin in Paris.
Luckily, many grups and individuals dnated tw-thirds f the sum. The museum must pay the remaining € 8 millin and is hping that members f the public will help t ease the burden by respnding t its appeal, which aims t raise € 1.3 millin.

When the pandemic (疫情) arrived, we switched t nline games. We dwnladed a pker app n ur phnes and lked at thse nine bxes cntaining ur heads n ur cmputer screens.

The wheel is believed t be arund 5,500 years ld. The inventin came abut lng after the advent f ther, arguably mre cmplex technlgies, like bats, wven clth, and agriculture. The inventin f the wheel greatly speeded up the develpment f civilizatin by making it easier t trade. Twns and cities grew crwded, their ppulatins sustained by the increased prductivity f wheel-assisted farming.
Hwever, the Aztecs, Incas, Maya, and Native Americans which were regarded as relatively advanced civilizatins did nt use the wheel until after the arrival f Eurpean clnists (殖民者) during the late 15th and early 16th centuries.
It had lng been assumed that ancient Americans didn’t knw hw t make them. That turned ut t be false. In 1880, as archaelgist Désiré Charnay unearthed the tmb f an Aztec child in Mexic City, he came acrss a small figurine (雕像) munted n an even smaller set f wheels. Since then, ther wheeled tys have been fund acrss the cuntry.
Current explanatins f why the Aztecs, Incas, Maya, and Native Americans lacked wheels fcus nt n the knwledge f hw t create them — which they clearly pssessed — but n practicality. One majr reasn is that the cntinent lacks creatures strng enugh t pull them. After all, hrses and cws crssed the Atlantic alng with the wheel itself.
Anther imprtant factr was gegraphy. Yes, the Incas built rads, but thse rads were mapped ut ver the hilly terrain (地形) f the Andes Muntains. They featured a structure f giant staircases in which there were tp, middle, and bttm levels. S wheeled vehicles wuld nt have been able t climb.
Ancient American scieties might nt have been built n wheels, but this in n way prevented them frm teaching levels f cmplexity cmparable t their Eurpean cunterparts. They als built impressive architecture with rcks. Hw their builders managed t mve thse rcks withut help frm the wheel, nbdy knws. But they did manage t d this. Of curse, the absence f the wheel still shaped these scieties in meaningful ways. Fr example, attempts t unite the different warring tribes repeatedly fell apart because f the amunt f time it tk t travel frm ne strnghld (据点) t anther.
“When the wheel did finally shw up in indigenus American scieties, a lt f things changed. But the change ccurred mre slwly. Even thugh indigenus Americans culd nw use the wheel fr transprt, weaving, and pttery, this new and mre efficient technlgy didn’t replace the familiar way f ding things vernight. Traditinal techniques cntinue t be passed dwn frm generatin t generatin, even t this day,” archaelgist Patrick Kirch said.
9．Why des the authr write the first paragraph?
A. T stress the difficulty in inventing the wheel.
B. T describe the prcess f the inventin f the wheel.
C. T explain the significance f the inventin f the wheel.
D. T intrduce the wide applicatins f the wheel in mdern times.
10．Why didn’t ancient Incas use wheels?
A. They lacked tls fr creating wheels.
B. They built rads with vertical structures.
C. They relied n animals fr transprtatin.
D. They lacked the knwledge f prducing wheels.
11．The absence f the wheel might blck _______.
A. the cmplexity f ancient American scieties
B. the frequency f wars in ancient American scieties
C. the impressive architecture in ancient American scieties
D. the unificatin f different tribes in ancient American scieties
12．What des Patrick Kirch think f intrducing the wheel int indigenus American scieties?
A. Easy but limitedB. Nticeable but harmful.
C. Welcme but fruitless.D. Influential but gradual.

参考答案
1．答案：C
解析：细节理解题。根据第二段中“Ministers declared the painting a natinal treasure, fficially giving the Luvre 30 mnths t raise the funds fr its purchase.(部长们宣布这幅画为国宝，并正式给予卢浮宫30个月的时间来筹集购买资金。)”可知，这幅画被认定为法国国宝。故选C项。
2．答案：B
解析：词句猜测题。根据画线词所在句子“Laurence des Cars, the president f the Luvre, said it was a ‘great jy’ t have acquired the painting, which ‘cnstitutes a crucial landmark in the histry f art’. (卢浮宫主席Laurence des Cars表示，获得这幅画是一种‘巨大的喜悦’，这幅画‘ 艺术史上的一个重要里程碑’。)”可知，这句是对这幅画的历史地位的描述，再根据这句前的内容可知，卢浮宫博物馆的馆长认为获得这幅画是一件特别让人高兴的事，因此推断这幅画被认为“构成”艺术史上一个至关重要的里程碑。所以猜测cnstitute表“构成，充当”的意思。故选 B项。
3．答案：C
解析：细节理解题。根据第四段“The painting was sptted fur years ag by Philmene Wlf, an auctineer, when she was asked t assess the cntent s f a huse that was being cleared. The wner, in her nineties, thught it was a painting frm Russia f n value and was preparing t put it in the dustbin.(这幅画是四年前拍卖师Philmene Wlf发现的，当时她被要求评估正在清理的房子的物品。这位90多岁的主人认为这是一幅来自俄罗斯的毫无价值的画，正准备把它放进垃圾箱。)”可知，Wlf是在评估一位老人房子里面清理出来的物品时发现了这幅画，因此她是从一位老人那里得到的。故选C项。
4．答案：D
解析：主旨大意题。由文章第一段“Christ Mcked, by the Flrentine master Cimabue, was sld at auctin(拍卖)fr €24 millin in 2019. But the Chilean buyers never gt t include the wrk in their cllectin because the French gvernment refused t give it an exprt licence.(2019年，佛罗伦萨大师Cimabue的Christ Mcked在拍卖会上以2400万欧元的价格售出。但智利买家从未将这件作品纳入他们的收藏，因为法国政府拒绝给它出口许可证。)”和第二段“Ministers declared the painting a natinal treasure, fficially giving the Luvre 30 mnths t raise the funds fr its purchase. The Luvre recently reached an agreement with the wners.(部长们宣布这幅画为国宝，并正式给予卢浮宫30个月的时间来筹集购买资金。卢浮宫最近与业主达成协议。)”以及下文可知，文章主要报道了卢浮宫筹钱买下Christ Mcked 这幅珍贵的画作，成功将其留在法国；同时介绍了这幅画差点被扔到垃圾桶但被拍卖师发现的过程。因此推断D选项Painting Saved Frm Bin Was t Hang in the Luvre(从垃圾箱里救出来的画作将被悬挂在卢浮宫)可以作为文章标题。故选D项。
5．答案：C
解析：细节理解题。根据第一段“We used t start at 7 p. m. with wine and play until 2 a. m. Nw there is n wine, and we quit befre midnight. The smke f cigarettes is lng gne.

6．答案：C
解析：推理判断题。根据第二段“The cnversatin didn’t really happen. It felt like any nline pker game, the kind played with strangers. S I hated this way f playing.(交谈并没有真正发生。感觉就像任何在线扑克游戏，和陌生人玩的那种。所以我讨厌这种玩的方式)”可知，作者讨厌在线玩扑克因为玩家之间很少互动。故选C。
7．答案：D
解析：细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Accrding t Rbin Dunbar, an evlutinary psychlgist at Oxfrd University, men are less likely t discuss their persnal affairs and pinins directly and hnestly. It’s the reasn why men are mre likely t have mental prblems.(根据牛津大学进化心理学家罗宾·邓巴的说法，男性不太可能直接和诚实地讨论他们的个人事务和观点。这就是为什么男性更容易出现精神问题)”可知，男性更容易出现精神问题因为男人不那么直言不讳。故选D。
8．答案：D
解析：细节理解题。根据最后一段“S friendships with wmen are the perfect cmplement t male friendships. I have a wife t cnfide in (向……透露秘密), and a few female friends I regularly meet fr lunch. I’m just really glad t have bth types f friendships. I can meet my female friends fr a nice lunch and a glass f wine. Then head ff t pker.(因此，与女性的友谊是对男性友谊的完美补充。我有一个可以倾诉的妻子，还有一些经常见面共进午餐的女性朋友。我真的很高兴能拥有两种类型的友谊。我可以和我的女性朋友共进午餐，喝杯酒。然后去打扑克)”可知，作者对他的社会关系感到满意。故选D。
9．答案：C
解析：推理判断题。根据文章第一段“The inventin f the wheel greatly speeded up the develpment f civilizatin by making it easier t trade. Twns and cities grew crwded, their ppulatins sustained by the increased prductivity f wheel-assisted farming.(轮子的发明使贸易更加便利，大大加快了文明的发展。城镇和城市变得拥挤起来，它们的人口是由车轮辅助农业生产力的提高维持的。)”可知，作者写第一段是为了解释轮子发明的意义。故选C。
10．答案：B
解析：细节理解题。根据文章第五段“Anther imprtant factr was gegraphy. Yes, the Incas built rads, but thse rads were mapped ut ver the hilly terrain (地形) f the Andes Muntains. They featured a structure f giant staircases in which there were tp, middle, and bttm levels. S wheeled vehicles wuld nt have been able t climb.(另一个重要因素是地理位置。是的，印加人修建了道路，但这些道路是在安第斯山脉的丘陵地带绘制的。它们的特点是巨大的楼梯结构，有顶层、中层和底层。所以有轮子的车辆不可能爬升。)”可知，古印加人不用轮子是因为他们修建垂直结构的道路。故选B。
11．答案：D
解析：推理判断题。根据文章第六段“Of curse, the absence f the wheel still shaped these scieties in meaningful ways. Fr example, attempts t unite the different warring tribes repeatedly fell apart because f the amunt f time it tk t travel frm ne strnghld (据点) t anther.(当然，没有轮子仍然以有意义的方式塑造了这些社会。例如，由于从一个据点到另一个据点需要花费大量的时间，试图将不同的交战部落联合起来的努力一再失败。)”可推知，车轮的缺失可能会阻碍古代美洲社会中不同部落的统一。故选D。
12．答案：D
解析：推理判断题。根据文章最后一段““When the wheel did finally shw up in indigenus American scieties, a lt f things changed. But the change ccurred mre slwly. Even thugh indigenus Americans culd nw use the wheel fr transprt, weaving, and pttery, this new and mre efficient technlgy didn’t replace the familiar way f ding things vernight. Traditinal techniques cntinue t be passed dwn frm generatin t generatin, even t this day,” archaelgist Patrick Kirch said.(“当轮子最终出现在美洲土著社会时，很多事情都发生了变化。但这种变化发生得更为缓慢。尽管印第安人现在可以用轮子来运输、编织和制陶，但这种新的、更高效的技术并没有在一夜之间取代人们熟悉的做事方式。传统技术继续代代相传，直到今天，”考古学家帕特里克·基尔奇说。)”可知，帕特里克·基尔奇认为将车轮引入美国土著社会是有影响力的，但却是渐进的。故选D。
13．答案：①-⑤GBDCE
解析：①前文“Cake mulds are cake pans in fun r functinal shapes. Yu might ften see them referred t as cake frms r cake shapes. Cake mulds are especially designed t make it easier t bake a cake.( 蛋糕模具是有趣或实用形状的蛋糕盘。你可能经常看到它们被称为蛋糕模式或蛋糕形状。蛋糕模具是专门设计用来更容易烤蛋糕的)”提到蛋糕模具被用来烤蛋糕非常方便，因此推断G项“所以你不必自己做所有的造型和设计。”符合语境，与上文形成因果关系。故选G。
②前文“Generally, a cake muld is ften made ut f silicne (硅酮).( 一般来说，蛋糕模具通常由硅酮制成。)”说明蛋糕模具的材料是硅酮；后文“Als, it bends easily, making it easier t remve the cake frm the pan withut damaging it.(而且，它很容易弯曲，使它更容易从锅中取出蛋糕而不会损坏它。)”说明这种材料的优势，因此推断B项“这种蛋糕模具用起来和洗起来都很容易。”符合语境，也是描述这种材料的优势，故选B。
③前文“Cake mulds are sld in kitchen supply stres and baking stres.(蛋糕模具在厨房用品店和烘焙店有售。)”说明蛋糕模具可以在哪里购买；D选项“你也可以在网上订购特别的或个性化的。”承接上文，说明另一种购买方式，符合语境。故选D。
④后文“Yu might buy a cake in the shape f a castle fr a princess birthday party, r in the shape f a ftball fr a sprts enthusiast. Animal shapes are fun t make, and kids can help.

一、阅读理解
Christ Mcked, by the Flrentine master Cimabue, was sld at auctin(拍卖)fr €24 millin in 2019. But the Chilean buyers never gt t include the wrk in their cllectin because the French gvernment refused t give it an exprt licence.
Ministers declared the painting a natinal treasure, fficially giving the Luvre 30 mnths t raise the funds fr its purchase. The Luvre recently reached an agreement with the wners.
Laurence des Cars, the president f the Luvre, said it was a “great jy” t have acquired the painting, which “cnstitutes a crucial landmark in the histry f art”. The museum did nt say hw much it had paid, nr wh had sld the painting, which will be exhibited in 2025.
The painting was sptted fur years ag by Philmene Wlf, an auctineer, when she was asked t assess the cntent s f a huse that was being cleared. The wner, in her nineties, thught it was a painting frm Russia f n value and was preparing t put it in the dustbin.
Wlf was struck by its quality and guessed that it culd be Italian. Experts using mdern technlgy cnfirmed that it was by Cimabue, wh is widely regarded as having pened the gateway t Renaissance art. It is believed t date frm 1280. Christ Mcked is ne f abut 15 knwn Cimabue’s wrks.
The Luvre launched an appeal n Tuesday fr dnatins t buy anther painting, The Basket f Wild Strawberries by Jean Simen Chardin, the 18th-century French still life(静物画)master. The wrk, which was first exhibited in 1761, was in a private cllectin frm the 19th century until last year, when it was sld fr €24.3 millin t an American art museum at an auctin in Paris.
Luckily, many grups and individuals dnated tw-thirds f the sum. The museum must pay the remaining € 8 millin and is hping that members f the public will help t ease the burden by respnding t its appeal, which aims t raise € 1.3 millin.

The wheel is believed t be arund 5,500 years ld. The inventin came abut lng after the advent f ther, arguably mre cmplex technlgies, like bats, wven clth, and agriculture. The inventin f the wheel greatly speeded up the develpment f civilizatin by making it easier t trade. Twns and cities grew crwded, their ppulatins sustained by the increased prductivity f wheel-assisted farming.
Hwever, the Aztecs, Incas, Maya, and Native Americans which were regarded as relatively advanced civilizatins did nt use the wheel until after the arrival f Eurpean clnists (殖民者) during the late 15th and early 16th centuries.
It had lng been assumed that ancient Americans didn’t knw hw t make them. That turned ut t be false. In 1880, as archaelgist Désiré Charnay unearthed the tmb f an Aztec child in Mexic City, he came acrss a small figurine (雕像) munted n an even smaller set f wheels. Since then, ther wheeled tys have been fund acrss the cuntry.
Current explanatins f why the Aztecs, Incas, Maya, and Native Americans lacked wheels fcus nt n the knwledge f hw t create them — which they clearly pssessed — but n practicality. One majr reasn is that the cntinent lacks creatures strng enugh t pull them. After all, hrses and cws crssed the Atlantic alng with the wheel itself.
Anther imprtant factr was gegraphy. Yes, the Incas built rads, but thse rads were mapped ut ver the hilly terrain (地形) f the Andes Muntains. They featured a structure f giant staircases in which there were tp, middle, and bttm levels. S wheeled vehicles wuld nt have been able t climb.
Ancient American scieties might nt have been built n wheels, but this in n way prevented them frm teaching levels f cmplexity cmparable t their Eurpean cunterparts. They als built impressive architecture with rcks. Hw their builders managed t mve thse rcks withut help frm the wheel, nbdy knws. But they did manage t d this. Of curse, the absence f the wheel still shaped these scieties in meaningful ways. Fr example, attempts t unite the different warring tribes repeatedly fell apart because f the amunt f time it tk t travel frm ne strnghld (据点) t anther.
“When the wheel did finally shw up in indigenus American scieties, a lt f things changed. But the change ccurred mre slwly. Even thugh indigenus Americans culd nw use the wheel fr transprt, weaving, and pttery, this new and mre efficient technlgy didn’t replace the familiar way f ding things vernight. Traditinal techniques cntinue t be passed dwn frm generatin t generatin, even t this day,” archaelgist Patrick Kirch said.
9．Why des the authr write the first paragraph?
A. T stress the difficulty in inventing the wheel.
B. T describe the prcess f the inventin f the wheel.
C. T explain the significance f the inventin f the wheel.
D. T intrduce the wide applicatins f the wheel in mdern times.
10．Why didn’t ancient Incas use wheels?
A. They lacked tls fr creating wheels.
B. They built rads with vertical structures.
C. They relied n animals fr transprtatin.
D. They lacked the knwledge f prducing wheels.
11．The absence f the wheel might blck _______.
A. the cmplexity f ancient American scieties
B. the frequency f wars in ancient American scieties
C. the impressive architecture in ancient American scieties
D. the unificatin f different tribes in ancient American scieties

参考答案
1．答案：C
解析：细节理解题。根据第二段中“Ministers declared the painting a natinal treasure, fficially giving the Luvre 30 mnths t raise the funds fr its purchase.(部长们宣布这幅画为国宝，并正式给予卢浮宫30个月的时间来筹集购买资金。)”可知，这幅画被认定为法国国宝。故选C项。
2．答案：B
解析：词句猜测题。根据画线词所在句子“Laurence des Cars, the president f the Luvre, said it was a ‘great jy’ t have acquired the painting, which ‘cnstitutes a crucial landmark in the histry f art’. (卢浮宫主席Laurence des Cars表示，获得这幅画是一种‘巨大的喜悦’，这幅画‘ 艺术史上的一个重要里程碑’。)”可知，这句是对这幅画的历史地位的描述，再根据这句前的内容可知，卢浮宫博物馆的馆长认为获得这幅画是一件特别让人高兴的事，因此推断这幅画被认为“构成”艺术史上一个至关重要的里程碑。所以猜测cnstitute表“构成，充当”的意思。故选 B项。
3．答案：C
解析：细节理解题。根据第四段“The painting was sptted fur years ag by Philmene Wlf, an auctineer, when she was asked t assess the cntent s f a huse that was being cleared. The wner, in her nineties, thught it was a painting frm Russia f n value and was preparing t put it in the dustbin.(这幅画是四年前拍卖师Philmene Wlf发现的，当时她被要求评估正在清理的房子的物品。这位90多岁的主人认为这是一幅来自俄罗斯的毫无价值的画，正准备把它放进垃圾箱。)”可知，Wlf是在评估一位老人房子里面清理出来的物品时发现了这幅画，因此她是从一位老人那里得到的。故选C项。
4．答案：D
解析：主旨大意题。由文章第一段“Christ Mcked, by the Flrentine master Cimabue, was sld at auctin(拍卖)fr €24 millin in 2019. But the Chilean buyers never gt t include the wrk in their cllectin because the French gvernment refused t give it an exprt licence.(2019年，佛罗伦萨大师Cimabue的Christ Mcked在拍卖会上以2400万欧元的价格售出。但智利买家从未将这件作品纳入他们的收藏，因为法国政府拒绝给它出口许可证。)”和第二段“Ministers declared the painting a natinal treasure, fficially giving the Luvre 30 mnths t raise the funds fr its purchase. The Luvre recently reached an agreement with the wners.(部长们宣布这幅画为国宝，并正式给予卢浮宫30个月的时间来筹集购买资金。卢浮宫最近与业主达成协议。)”以及下文可知，文章主要报道了卢浮宫筹钱买下Christ Mcked 这幅珍贵的画作，成功将其留在法国；同时介绍了这幅画差点被扔到垃圾桶但被拍卖师发现的过程。因此推断D选项Painting Saved Frm Bin Was t Hang in the Luvre(从垃圾箱里救出来的画作将被悬挂在卢浮宫)可以作为文章标题。故选D项。
5．答案：C
解析：细节理解题。根据第一段“We used t start at 7 p. m. with wine and play until 2 a. m. Nw there is n wine, and we quit befre midnight. The smke f cigarettes is lng gne. The fd is better—ver tw decades we’ve gne frm chips t hmemade vegetable salad. All f these win favr with my wife when I g t play pker.(我们过去常常在晚上7点开始喝酒，一直玩到凌晨2点。现在没有酒了，我们在午夜之前就停止了。香烟的烟雾早已消失。食物更好了——20多年来，我们从薯条变成了自制蔬菜沙拉。当我去打扑克时，所有这些都赢得了我妻子的青睐)”可知，作者的妻子支持他打扑克是因为作者的生活方式变得更健康。故选C。
6．答案：C
解析：推理判断题。根据第二段“The cnversatin didn’t really happen. It felt like any nline pker game, the kind played with strangers. S I hated this way f playing.(交谈并没有真正发生。感觉就像任何在线扑克游戏，和陌生人玩的那种。所以我讨厌这种玩的方式)”可知，作者讨厌在线玩扑克因为玩家之间很少互动。故选C。
7．答案：D
解析：细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Accrding t Rbin Dunbar, an evlutinary psychlgist at Oxfrd University, men are less likely t discuss their persnal affairs and pinins directly and hnestly. It’s the reasn why men are mre likely t have mental prblems.(根据牛津大学进化心理学家罗宾·邓巴的说法，男性不太可能直接和诚实地讨论他们的个人事务和观点。这就是为什么男性更容易出现精神问题)”可知，男性更容易出现精神问题因为男人不那么直言不讳。故选D。
8．答案：D
解析：细节理解题。根据最后一段“S friendships with wmen are the perfect cmplement t male friendships. I have a wife t cnfide in (向……透露秘密), and a few female friends I regularly meet fr lunch. I’m just really glad t have bth types f friendships. I can meet my female friends fr a nice lunch and a glass f wine. Then head ff t pker.(因此，与女性的友谊是对男性友谊的完美补充。我有一个可以倾诉的妻子，还有一些经常见面共进午餐的女性朋友。我真的很高兴能拥有两种类型的友谊。我可以和我的女性朋友共进午餐，喝杯酒。然后去打扑克)”可知，作者对他的社会关系感到满意。故选D。
9．答案：C
解析：推理判断题。根据文章第一段“The inventin f the wheel greatly speeded up the develpment f civilizatin by making it easier t trade. Twns and cities grew crwded, their ppulatins sustained by the increased prductivity f wheel-assisted farming.(轮子的发明使贸易更加便利，大大加快了文明的发展。城镇和城市变得拥挤起来，它们的人口是由车轮辅助农业生产力的提高维持的。)”可知，作者写第一段是为了解释轮子发明的意义。故选C。
10．答案：B
解析：细节理解题。根据文章第五段“Anther imprtant factr was gegraphy. Yes, the Incas built rads, but thse rads were mapped ut ver the hilly terrain (地形) f the Andes Muntains. They featured a structure f giant staircases in which there were tp, middle, and bttm levels. S wheeled vehicles wuld nt have been able t climb.(另一个重要因素是地理位置。是的，印加人修建了道路，但这些道路是在安第斯山脉的丘陵地带绘制的。它们的特点是巨大的楼梯结构，有顶层、中层和底层。所以有轮子的车辆不可能爬升。)”可知，古印加人不用轮子是因为他们修建垂直结构的道路。故选B。
11．答案：D
解析：推理判断题。根据文章第六段“Of curse, the absence f the wheel still shaped these scieties in meaningful ways. Fr example, attempts t unite the different warring tribes repeatedly fell apart because f the amunt f time it tk t travel frm ne strnghld (据点) t anther.(当然，没有轮子仍然以有意义的方式塑造了这些社会。例如，由于从一个据点到另一个据点需要花费大量的时间，试图将不同的交战部落联合起来的努力一再失败。)”可推知，车轮的缺失可能会阻碍古代美洲社会中不同部落的统一。故选D。
12．答案：D
解析：推理判断题。根据文章最后一段““When the wheel did finally shw up in indigenus American scieties, a lt f things changed. But the change ccurred mre slwly. Even thugh indigenus Americans culd nw use the wheel fr transprt, weaving, and pttery, this new and mre efficient technlgy didn’t replace the familiar way f ding things vernight. Traditinal techniques cntinue t be passed dwn frm generatin t generatin, even t this day,” archaelgist Patrick Kirch said.(“当轮子最终出现在美洲土著社会时，很多事情都发生了变化。但这种变化发生得更为缓慢。尽管印第安人现在可以用轮子来运输、编织和制陶，但这种新的、更高效的技术并没有在一夜之间取代人们熟悉的做事方式。传统技术继续代代相传，直到今天，”考古学家帕特里克·基尔奇说。)”可知，帕特里克·基尔奇认为将车轮引入美国土著社会是有影响力的，但却是渐进的。故选D。
13．答案：①-⑤GBDCE
解析：①前文“Cake mulds are cake pans in fun r functinal shapes. Yu might ften see them referred t as cake frms r cake shapes. Cake mulds are especially designed t make it easier t bake a cake.( 蛋糕模具是有趣或实用形状的蛋糕盘。你可能经常看到它们被称为蛋糕模式或蛋糕形状。蛋糕模具是专门设计用来更容易烤蛋糕的)”提到蛋糕模具被用来烤蛋糕非常方便，因此推断G项“所以你不必自己做所有的造型和设计。”符合语境，与上文形成因果关系。故选G。

⑤前文“It can be difficult t remve a cake frm a cake muld withut damaging it. Even if the pan is nn-stick, which mst are, yu shuld still grease (抹油) the pan well befre baking.(从蛋糕模具中取出蛋糕而不损坏蛋糕是很困难的。即使平底锅是不粘锅，大多数平底锅都是不粘锅，你还是应该在烤之前在平底锅上涂好油。)”说明如何从锅里取出蛋糕而不会损害蛋糕的形状，烤前给锅涂好油是一种办法，因此推断项“让蛋糕完全冷却也有助于这个过程。”符合语境，给出完整的取出蛋糕又一种解决办法，故选E。
