2 . For many visitors to Peru, Machu Picchu is the No.1 attraction. But it'd be a waste without spending an extra day or two to appreciate some of the country's other wonders.

The Andes

The area near Machu Picchu is perfect for mountain biking. Some of the best trips include the peaceful Lares Valley, the popular Sacred Valley and Abra Malaga Pass. All these biking trips are within shouting distance of Machu Picchu.

The Colca Canyon

No one's entirely sure how deep the Colca Canyo n is, but scientists have determined that the distance from its edge to its bottom measures more than 10,000 feet — twice the depth of the Grand Canyon. The huge space within those towering walls in the canyon is filled with some of South America's prettiest scenery: untouched valleys, pre-Columbian agricultural lands still in use and dead volcanoes.

The Manu National Park

The park is well known for diverse ecosystems. Most travel within the park is done by boat, which allows for eye-level views of more than 15,000 species of plants in one of the world's greatest preserved rain forests. Manu is best known, though, for its variety of animal life: at least a million different insect species.

The Nasca Lines

A trip to Machu Picchu almost always requires connections in Lima, Peru's coastal capital, while arriving and departing. While there, a short flight can be easily arranged to view the Nasca Lines, which rival (与······相匹敌) Machu Picchu as Peru's greatest ancient wonder. Why the need for a view from planes? Because of the huge size of the geoglyphs (地质遗迹) that have been carved into the desert: spiders, fish, monkeys, and more. Some of them stretch more than 600 feet across.

1. Which place should a visitor select if he dislikes crowds?

A．Sacred Valley.	B．Lares Valley.
C．Abra Malaga Pass.	D．Machu Picchu.

2. Most of the places within the Manu National Park have to be visited ______.

B．They are located in the same city.

C．They are known for their biodiversity.

D．They are surrounded by similar environments.

3 . For any little girl of energy and spirit, to be ladylike is painful. To sit up straight, wear gloves and speak only when spoken to is pure torture. Fortunately, that was not a difficulty Jane Withers faced. From the age of six she was paid to talk loud, walk awkwardly and answer back directly. She could blow out her cheeks until her eyes disappeared almost into her head.

Her films had titles like Always in Trouble, Arizona Wildcat, The Holy Terror and Rascals. She played characters called Ginger, Pepper. Corky and Peg Gurgle, usually orphans (孤儿), who were forced into over-fancy schools, criminals’ hideouts or desert islands, but would take charge and, after a struggle, come up winning. Her mother worried that people would hate her for playing such bad-mannered characters.

But the opposite happened. She became wildly popular. Shops were filled with Jane Withers shoes, dresses and dolls. Like many child stars, she made far more from such goods than from her 38 films.

She might not be as pretty as Nancy Drew, the top girl detective of the age, but like her she could ride a horse, ice skate and speak French. And, better than her, she could mimic (模仿) anyone. Another pleasant surprise she gave the studio was that away from filming she was very well behaved. If she liked a role, she went for it politely, and said thank you.

She was expected to be an actress even in the womb and was sent to the Atlanta radio shows at the age of three. She was just given $5 a week as pocket money. For every two dolls she was sent, one had to be given to a needy child. Her parents insisted that they should live only on the money they brought home.

Of course, the Hollywood dream didn’t last long. She got so sick of playing child parts that at 15 she published her own story, Small Tor um Deb and retired completely from Hollywood in 1947 at 21.

6 . Experts continue to learn new things about the 600-year-old Machu Picchu. Last year, researchers discovered that the ancient Incan city is at least 30 years older than previously thought. Now, it turns out that we may be calling it by the wrong name.

A recent paper by Amado Gonzalez and Brian Bauer concludes that the Incas who built the city in the clouds actually called it Huayna Picchu — or simply just Picchu — the name of a mountain overlooking the ruins.

When Hiram Bingham first discovered the place in 1911 and asked what it was called, the report found, he was initially told it was known as Huayna Picchu. But days later, he was told by a different guide that the site was called Machu Picchu. It appears that’s the name that stuck.

“It’s true that at the time it was not so well-known to people, but there is a lot of evidence suggesting that those who did know it did not call it Machu Picchu,” said Amado Gonzalez. “Even more importantly, the research is based on centuries of documents, including some of the region’s first maps, land records, and even Bingham’s own notes and letters. An official record dating back to 1539 refers to the area as Picchu. Another, dated 1568, specifically mentions a city of the same name. We also have a clear reference to the ancient Inca town of Huayna Picchu’ from a 1715 document.”

But that doesn’t mean that there are any plans in the report to change the name of one of South America’s most popular tourist destinations. More than 7,000 feet above sea level in the Andes Mountains, the UNESCO World Heritage site has drawn about 1 million visitors every year.

“It may not have been Machu Picchu to the Incas but now it’s Machu Picchu to the world,” Amado Gonzalez said.

1. What was Machu Picchu most probably named after?

A．The builders.	B．A nearby village.
C．A mountain.	D．The first discoverer.

2. What was the area around the ruins referred to as in the 1539 record?

A．Machu.	B．Picchu.
C．Huayna Picchu.	D．Machu Picchu.

3. What is Amado Gonzalez’s attitude to changing the name of the ruins?

A．Supportive.

B．Unconcerned.

C．Interested.

D．Disapproving.

4. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?

A．Historians May Get a Wrong Name for Machu Picchu

B．Machu Picchu Is 30 Years Older Than Previously Thought

C．The 600-year-old Machu Picchu Keeps Making Headlines

D．Experts Have Decided to Learn More About Machu Picchu

7 . Internet Explorer (IE) is nearing the end of its long and slow death, Microsoft announced this week. In the browser’s (浏览器) death notice, the company said, “The future of IE on Windows is in Microsoft Edge, which is faster and more secure.”

Though it might seem strange to young people who are not familiar with the blue “e” icon, IE was once seen as the most successful browser in the world. When Windows introduced IE in 1995, it killed off the earlier and once-leading Netscape Navigator in less than three years. At its height in the early 2000s, IE controlled 95% of the browser market.

But Microsoft failed to keep pace with the later comers, losing respect among users for its poor security and speed. Disappointed users began turning to Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome. Google Chrome is now the leading browser, holding a 64% share of the global market, while IE sits at under 4%.

“The brand is so damaged,” wrote Adriana Figueroa who is very familiar with IE. “When you think of IE, the first thing that comes to your mind is its speed. It will be very easy for Microsoft Edge, even though it’s new, to be stuck with the brand, so Microsoft has to work extra hard to prove that Microsoft Edge is really different. It shouldn’t give people the impression that it is just putting lipstick on the pig.”

But another user Kim Song, who runs a small business in China, said, “It’s all I have used and I’m used to it!”

Even though IE will still be available to him for some time, Kim said it will take a little time for him to mourn (哀悼) IE’s death. “I’m thinking that a cup of Shaojiu will be appropriate. I’ll hang on to my old friend, as long as possible,” he said. “I’ll put off upgrading software or buying new devices, if it means I can keep my IE.”

1. Which browser is the earliest one?

A．Mozilla Firefox.	B．Google Chrome.
C．Internet Explorer.	D．Netscape Navigator.

2. What is IE’s present share of the global browser market?

A．Less than 4%.	B．Around 36%.
C．About 64%.	D．More than 95%.

3. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 4 refer to?

A．A pig.

B．A company.

C．A lipstick.

D．A browser.

4. What does Kim Song mean?

A．He likes Shaojiu.	B．He cannot afford new software.
C．He is a big IE fan.	D．He thinks IE’s death is natural.

9 . 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

When You Snooze (贪睡), You Lose!

Last Wednesday, I set my alarm for seven o’clock in the morning, just like I always did. But I’d gone to bed a little later than usual, so when it went off, I rolled over and hit the snooze button, thinking I’d have five more minutes of sleep before I got up. For some reason, the snooze alarm didn’t go off. When I saw that it was 7:45, I couldn’t believe it!

Since I was late, I skipped breakfast, and I didn’t make the bed or straighten up my room even though it was part of the “house rules”.

I ran as fast as I could to catch the school bus, but even so, I missed it. Luckily for me, my father hadn’t left for work yet, so I asked him for a ride to school. He wasn’t too happy about it because it meant he would be late for an appointment he had set up. So he was annoyed with me, especially since it was the second time in two weeks that I had missed the school bus. We rode to school in total silence.

By the time I got to school, the bell had already rung, so I had to go to the office to get a “late pass” before I could be admitted to class. That’s when I remembered that I hadn’t asked my father to write a note for my being late. He’d been in such a bad mood, and I knew that this was especially directed at me, so I decided there was no way I could call him now. Besides, he was sure to be in his meeting.

So, there I was, sitting out the first hour in the principal’s office. Things were really starting to snowball but it was only the beginning. Since I was absent from my first-hour class, I missed my science test. My teacher said I couldn’t make up the test since I was absent without leave. But I really needed that test to improve my grade point average. My dad promised to give me half of the money for a car if my grades improved by the end of this semester. So I started thinking about not being able to buy a car, and I got even more upset.
