fascinated by the pyramids in egypt. a few years ago i braved a long queue and climbed through a narrow passage to reach the main chamber deep inside one of them. like millions of other tourists i marvelled at stoned-walled rooms full of the magic of this ancient civilisation.but popularity might be the collapse (崩溃) of such archaeological treasures.take tutankhamuns tomb in the valley of the kings, for example. it lay untouched for more than 3,000 years until the british archaeologist howard carter uncovered it in 1922. now more than 1,000 people a day walk through it.but as more and more people visit, the temperature and humidity (湿度) inside the tomb change. as a result, the beautifully decorated plaster (胶泥) is coming away from the rock.in order to preserve its heritage, a replica of the monument is being opened about one km away from the actual burial site. specialists have recorded every detail of tutankhamuns tomb and used the data to recreate it.adam lowe from the organisation behind the project, factum arte, says the copy is identical to the original. he believes visitors will want to “become part of the force that protects it rather than a force that is leading to its destruction”, so wont mind seeing a replica.but for historian tom holland, a copy is still a copy. he believes that although preservation is important, there is something unique about places like tutankhamuns tomb.he says it was built “by people who believed in the world of the spirits, the dead and the supernatural. you dont have to believe in a god or gods to feel a place is consecrated and has a particular quality that cant be reproduced.”what about you: would you visit a replica of a monument rather than the original to help preserve it?51. the author mentions tutankhamens tomb to show .a. its marvelous ancient civilizationb. its popularity among touristsc. its inner beautiful decorationd. its damage caused by human activities52. the underlined word “replica” (in paragraph 5) means “ ”.a. copyb. tombc. palaced. door53. the critics who are against the project hold the view that .a. visitors will mind itb. it cant be replacedc. its inner beautiful decorationd. its damage caused by human activities54. what is the authors tone towards the project?a. favorable.b. doubtful.c. objective.d. negtive.bthe secret of domestic happiness is having two daughters, according to a study.in a finding that will surprise many parents, researchers concluded that two girls are unlikely to fight, will play nicely together, rarely annoy their parents and tend not to wind each other up. thsy also make little noise, seldom ignore each other and are more likely to confide in their mother or father, scientists claim. but doubling the number of daughters is a recipe for disaster, with parents of four girls the least happy with their domestic set-up.researchers questioned thousands of mothers and fathers of under-16s to come up with the recipe for a harmonious family life. those with two girls were most likely to say their children wee easy to reason with, helped around the house and generally got on well with each other. but parents of four girls reported trying to end an average of four fights a day. one in three frequently found it hard to cope, and two-thirds had buy a bigger house or car to accommodate their family. overall, mothers and fathers with four children of any gender were more likely to find family life a struggle, with mornings, mealtimes and bedtimes the most common source of conflict. and parents of large families more often admitted neglecting one or more of their children on occasion or struggling to share their attention equally.after two girls, the second most appealing combination of children was one child and one boy, with 86 per cent of parents saying their little boy and little girl were genuine friends. two siblings of the opposite genders rarely argue over toys and are easy to reason with, but suffer from a lack of shared interests as they grow up, the researchers claim.the third most favorable combination was two boys, with parents saying their sons pay each other lots of attention and are close friendsbut are less likely to donfide in their mum or dad as they grow up.55. the underlined sentence in paragraph 2 means “ ”.a. if you have more children, youll enjoy a happy lifeb. 4 daughters are likely to result in an unhappy familyc. the numbers of daughters can decide family happinessd. a multi-child family can benefit from delicious meals56. in a 4-child family, parents are more likely to .a. get equal attention from their childrenb. see shared interests among their childrenc. have heavy financial burdens to take ond. enjoy the comfort of a harmonious mealtime57. what 2 children of the same or opposite genders share is that .a. they often invite trouble for their parentsb. they will have complete trust in their parentsc. they can have lots of common interests d. they can both develop a real friendship with each other58. the passage is mainly written to .a. prove girls are easier to raise than boysb. tell readers about a research finding c. share the sorrow and joys of being parentsd. compare the difference between boys and girlscthe turning point of my life was my decision to give up a promising career in business to study music. my parents, although sympathetic, disapproved of music as an occupation. this was understandable, i thought, in view of my family background. my grandfather taught music for nearly forty years at spring hill college, and it was only the threiftiness (节俭) of my grandmother that kept the wolf at bay.as a consequence, my parents insisted upon college instead of a music school. before my graduation from columbia university, the family met with severe fanacial difficulty and i felt it my duty to leave college and take a job. thus was i launched upon a business careerwhich i always think of as the wasted years. now, i do not for a moment mean to disparage (贬低) business; my whole point is that it was not for me. my one ambition was to save enough money to quit and go to europe to study music.i used to get up at dawn to practice before i left for downtown, upsetting my poor mother by having a hasty breakfast at the last minute. instead of lunching with my business associates, i would seek out some cheap caf, order a mean meal and draw my harmony exercise. i continued to make money, and finally, bit by bit, accumulated enough to enable me to go abroad.the family being once more wealthy, and my help no longer necessary. i resigned from my position and feeling like a man released from jail, sailed for europe. i stayed four years, worked harder than i had ever dreamed of working before and enjoyed every minute of it. enjoyed is too mild a word. i walked on air. i really lived. i was a free man and i was doing what i loved to do and what i was meant to do. if i had stayed in business, i might be a really wealthy man today. but i do not believe i would have made a success of living. i would have given up all those inner satiosfaction that money can never buy and that are too often sacrificed when a mans primary goal is fanacial success. money is a wonderful thing, but it is possible to pay too high a price on it.59. why did the authors parents object to his decision to study music?a. his family was not well off.b. he had a good family background.c. his parents were not fond of music.d. he modeled himself after his grandfather.60. what caused the author to leave college and take a job?a. expectations of his parents.b. the financial crisis of the family.c. his ambition for a business career.d. his dissatisfation with the college.61. it was possible for the author to go to europe to study music because .a. he kept practicing musicb. he was released from prision c. he used to lunch with other businessmend. his financial condition was improved62. what does the author intend to tell us through the story?a. whaterver you do, you must do it well.b. wherever you go, you can achieve your dreams.c. whoever you are, you should follow your inner voice.d. however poor you are, you deserve equal treatment.dlike most creatures on earth, humans come equipped with a circadian clock (生物钟), a roughly 24-hour internal timer that keeps our sleep patterns in agreement with our planet, at least until genetics, age and our personal habits get in the way. even though the average adult needs eight hours of sleep per night, there are “short-sleepers,” who need far less, and morning people, who, research shows, often come from families of other morning people. then theres the rest of us who rely on alarm clocks.for those who fantasize about greeting the dawn, there is hope. sleep experts say that with a little training, well actually, a lot of traning, most people can reset their circadian clocks. but its not as simple as forcing yourself to go to bed earlier, for you cant make a wide-awake brain sleep.
