A

Some of the best museums across China are putting their exhibitions online in VR format for free.While stuck at home due to the novel coronavirus outbreak, why not take a detailed online tour at museums that you would not otherwise have time for?

The Palace Museum

The Palace Museum is known as the Forbidden City.Visitors can browse all the buildings of the Palace Museums.More than 400,000 imperial artifacts have been digitized online, which can definitely help you gain knowledge and immerse yourself in a cultural atmosphere.

Shanghai Museum

Shanghai Museum is a large and famous museum, which collects over 120,000 precious artistic relics from more than 5,000 years ago to the Qing Dynasty.The marvelous bronze, ceramics, paintings and calligraphies offer a visual feast for the eyes, and also provide a good chance for people to learn the profound Chinese history and culture.

A．Precious imperial artifacts.

B．Classic caves and the murals.

C．Ancient people living in the caves.

3．What is the purpose of writing the passage?

B

Men hunted.Women gathered.That has long been the common view of our prehistoric ancestors.But the discovery of a woman buried 9,000 years ago in the Andes Mountains with weapons and hunting tools, and an analysis of other burial sites in the Americas challenges this widely accepted division of labour in hunter­gatherer society.

“Labour practices among recent hunter­gatherer societies are highly gendered, which might lead some to believe that sexist inequalities in things like pay or rank are somehow ‘natural’，”said lead study author Randy Haas, an assistant professor of anthropology (人类学) at University of California, Davis, in a news release.“But it's now clear that sexual division of labour was fundamentally different — likely more equal and reasonable — in our species deep hunter­gatherer past.”

The burial site was discovered in 2018 during excavations (发掘) at a high­altitude site called Wilamaya Patjxa in what is now Peru.The woman, thought to be between 17 and 19 years old when she died, was buried with items that suggested she hunted big­game animals.

Although some scholars have suggested a role for women in ancient hunting, others have dismissed this idea even when hunting tools were uncovered in female burials.To examine whether this woman found at this site was an outlier,_the researchers examined 429 skeletons (骷髅) at 107 burials sites in North and South America around 8,000 to 14,000 years ago.Of those, 27 individuals were buried with hunting tools — 11 were female and 15 were male.The sample was sufficient to “support the conclusion that female participation in early big­game hunting was likely not unusual”．

The findings add to doubts about man — the hunter assumption that informed much thinking about early humans since the mid­20th century.“They suggest hunting was very much a community­based activity, needing the participation of all able­bodied individuals to drive large animals，” the paper said.The weapon of choice at that time had low accuracy, encouraging broad participation, and using it was a skill learned from childhood.

语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了考古学家在南美的安第斯山脉中发现了一座有着9 000年历史的女性狩猎者的墓葬，挑战了传统的男士打猎，女人采集的劳动分工的观念。

4．What does the recent burial site at Andes Mountains show?

A．The origin of sexual inequality.

B．Hunting skills of ancient times.

C．The social system of prehistoric hunters.

D．Job division of hunter­gatherer society.

解析：选D　推理判断题。根据第一段中“But the discovery of a woman buried 9,000 years ago in the Andes Mountains ...of labour in hunter­gatherer society.”可知，在安第斯山脉发现的这些埋葬点挑战了狩猎采集社会中的劳动分工，也就是表明了我们所没有想到的狩猎采集社会中的劳动分工。

5．Which of the following might Randy Haas agree with?

A．Gender plays no part in recent hunter­gatherer society.

B．Sexist inequality is a natural result of prehistoric society.

C．Ancient division of labour might be fairer than we'd thought.

D．Public ideas of women's role will be changed abruptly.

解析：选C　细节理解题。根据第二段中“But it's now clear that ...reasonable — in our species deep hunter­gatherer past.”可知，Randy Haas认为古代的劳动分工可能比我们想的更公平。

6．What does the underlined word “outlier” in Paragraph 4 mean?

A．Exception.  B．Failure.

C．Role model.  D．Easy target.

解析：选A　词义猜测题。根据第四段中“To examine ...in early big­game hunting was likely not unusual.”可知，研究者研究了不同历史时期，很多不同地方的大量墓葬，发现很多女性是狩猎者，同时表明了女性参与早期大型狩猎活动可能并不罕见，所以这也检验了这位狩猎的女性不是一个例外。

7．What might make prehistoric hunting a community­based activity?

A．Lack of able­bodied individuals.

B．Imperfection in hunting weapons.

C．Better accuracy of females in hunting.

D．Need for large animals as food source.

解析：选B　推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句可知，狩猎武器不完善，所以鼓励大家广泛参与，也就使得史前的狩猎活动以群体为基础。

Ⅱ.阅读七选五

Everything was quiet at the Pantheon, in Rome, Italy, on the afternoon of April 27.That is, until the ground opened up outside the ancient temple.

Luckily, no one was hurt.__8__ These stones were once part of a busy ancient street.

The sinkhole (落水洞) measures about 10 square feet.The ancient paving stones were eight feet below.__9__ That temple was destroyed by fire, and then rebuilt around 128 CE.It is one of the best­preserved of Rome's ancient buildings.

__10__ In 2018, there were 175 of them in the city.The following year, there were another hundred.A sudden collapse (塌陷) can be dangerous.The largest sinkhole can swallow up cars and houses.

Sinkholes form when water wears away the rock under the streets.The city sits on soft rock that is easily destroyed.__11__

“The main cause of a sinkhole in the city is the presence of an underground hole，” geologist Stefania Nisio said.She is working on a project to map Rome's sinkholes.

In 2018, city leaders put forth a plan to fix Rome's streets.__12__ Sinkholes will continue to hold the possibility of new discoveries.What wonder of the past could the next sinkhole in Rome unearth?

A．That puts Rome on shaky ground.

B．However, progress on that has been slow.

C．This shows that Rome has a very long history.

D．The paving stones have been discovered in the 1990s.

E．Sinkholes have recently become a problem in Rome.

F．The sinkhole unearthed several 2,000­year­old paving stones.

G．Experts say they were laid around 27 to 25 BCE, when the Pantheon was first built at this site.

语篇解读：本文是说明文。罗马万神庙广场地面出现塌陷，露出具有两千多年历史的遗迹。

8．选F　下文中的These stones指代上文某处提到的一些石头，但本空前面的内容均未涉及与石头相关的内容，因此可推断，石头作为新信息在本空应填内容中出现。D项中的in the 1900s与本文时间不符，故选F项。

9．选G　G项内容起承上启下的作用，其中they指代上文中的The ancient paving stones，而下文中的That temple则指代G项中的the Pantheon。

10．选E　本空后面介绍了近年来罗马地区发生的地面坍塌情况以及坍塌的危害，因此E项作本段的主旨句合适。

11．选A　A项中的That指代上文所介绍的情况，即罗马坐落在容易被损毁的松软岩石上，这些岩石容易被水侵蚀。

12．选B　B项中的that指代上文中修缮罗马街道的事，修缮进度缓慢，因此坍塌仍然会持续发生。

The masters showed and taught ten kinds of intangible cultural heritage such as the guqin, Chinese calligraphy, paper­cutting, and kung fu.We not only watched wonderful shows, but learned basic skills.

“The event has deepened our understanding of Chinese traditional culture，” many students said with great excitement.
