文章大意:这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了美国伯克利一处遗留下来的古墙,研究人员并不知道是谁建造的它,何时建造,为什么建造,人们也只能去推测它背后的故事。

1 . The boulders (巨石) look generally unremarkable, besides the fact that they stretch up and down the ridge in a curved line. Most people who don’t know their story would probably choose to look at the sweeping view of San Jose below them instead.

The timeworn line of boulder, is part of a system of stone walls, the remains of which stretch along the East Bay Hills all the way from Grimly Peak in Berkeley to where I watched a man tie his shoes at the Sierra Vista Open Space Preserve above East San Jose.

They exist only in sections, and some are better preserved than others — where I found the man, the walls are short and thick and half-sunk into the earth, hut further north at Ed R. Levin County Park in Milpitas, they remain almost perfectly assembled and stand several feet tall.

The first recorded mention of the walls is from an article in the San Francisco Chronicle from 1896. “Half a mile east of Grizzly Peak stand the remains of stone walls which have long baffled the researchers. By whom they were built, when and why is an unsolved mystery,” the article stated. The unnamed author went on to write a generally-accepted theory of the walls that they were constructed by “some long-forgotten race, possibly Aztec”.

Of course, the people who originally inhabited the hills and the land surrounding them are far from forgotten. The Ohlone people thrived in the area for thousands of years until they were largely displaced by European settlers — however, there’re no records of them constructing stone walls.

“Some of my colleagues have heard the rocks were placed there by Spanish settlers clearing their fields, and there have been speculations that it could have been part of Indigenous practice,” said Charlotte Graham, a spokesperson for the Santa Clara Valley Open Space Authority. “We’ve also heard it could be a natural occurrence.”

However, there isn’t enough evidence on the walls to be entirely certain. A study dated lichen (地衣) on the walls in Berkeley as being from 1851 to 1880, though other sections of the walls haven’t been tested, and there’re few historical accounts on their presence.

1. How may most people never hearing about the boulders react when seeing them?
A.Ignore them.B.Collect them.
C.Post the photos of them online.D.Report them to the government.
2. Which section of the stone walls is most probably best preserved?
A.The one along the East Bay Hills.
B.The one near Grizzly Peak in Berkeley.
C.The one at Ed R. Levin County Park in Milpitas.
D.The one at the Sierra Vista Open Space Preserve.
3. What does the underlined word “baffled” probably mean in paragraph 4?
A.Prevented.B.Confused.C.Annoyed.D.Inspired.
4. What can be the best title for the text?
A.Functions of stone wallsB.Newly-found boulders
C.The history of bouldersD.Stories behind mystery walls

文章大意:本文是一篇说明文。文章主要科普了关于世界上“最美丽的河流”的知识。

8 . The giant Amazon rainforest in South America has been a mystery for centuries. It holds all kinds of natural wonders. Among them in Colombia, a river stands out as “the most beautiful river” in the world.

Locally called Carnio Cristales, this special river lies in a national park. It is made up of several waterfalls, rapids, and plenty of pools. For most of the year, Canio Cristales looks like a common river: clean, green, and rocky. However, during the short period between September and November, the river explodes (迸发) with life and colour. It appears as any mix of colours including blue, green, yellow, orange, and a purplish red. So it is also known as the “River of Five Colours”.

Although at first it may appear as if some chemicals were added to the water, this rainbow river is completely natural. Cafio Cristales' colours are the result of a rare (稀有) water plant which needs sunlight to grow. The plants change colour depending on how much sunlight they receive, and the amount is decided by the height and speed of the water. Therefore, it is possible for the plants to be totally colourless if the sunlight is too hard to get. They are a delicate plant. This makes them easily damaged in the water.

Actually, the river faces some problems, including drier seasons, wildlife trouble, waste management, and budget (预算) cuts. In 2007, the park was forced to close because it was over-crowded with tourists. Now the park admits only 200 people a day and requires them to mind their behaviour.

Today, Cano Cristales still shines among Colombia's most popular natural attractions, drawing thousands of tourists every year.

1. When is the best time to visit Cafio Cristales?
A.In January.B.In March.C.In June.D.In October.
2. Why is Cano Cristales colourful?
A.A special plant lives in it.B.People add chemicals to it.
C.The water is badly polluted.D.The weather is changeable there.
3. What does the underlined word “delicate” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A.Special.B.Weak.C.Lively.D.Beautiful.
4. What once caused the park to be closed?
A.Too many visitors.B.The poor service.
C.Too much rubbish.D.The wildlife problem.
