The Mysteries of the Maya

Extending south from parts of what we now know as Mexico into Central America, Maya civilisation     1     (surround) by mystery since its rediscovery in the 19th century. The Maya built     2    (impress) palaces and temples.     3     is most extraordinary about these complex structures is how they were built without the use of wheels, metal tools or even animal power. They applied their understanding of mathematics and astronomy     4     the Maya calendar, which was accurate to within 30 seconds per year. On top of all this was an achievement unique in the Americas at that time: a true writing system. It was a writing system so complicated that, so far, no one has been able to interpret it     5     (complete).

The fact that Maya society was technologically primitive makes its achievements more incredible and mysterious. Meanwhile, the rise and fall of this civilisation must also leave us     6     (think) about our past, present and future. By 700 AD, Maya civilisation was at     7     (it) peak. Yet, within a couple of generations, it began to mysteriously decline. The cities were left     8     (take) back by the jungle.

Some research seems to indicate that the Maya people themselves may have played a part in their downfall. Research also suggests that those natural     9     (disaster) may have led to the decline of the Maya.     10     the reasons, Maya civilisation largely disappeared within the deep jungle.

In a sealed cave, now known as the famous Library Cave,     8     (hide) thousands of manuscripts, paintings and scrolls, as well as silk embroideries.

9 . In search of fame and fortune,the Portuguese explorer Ferdinand Magellan (1480—1521) set out from Spain in 1519 with a fleet of five ships to discover a western sea route to the Spice Islands. In route he discovered what is now known as the Strait of Magellan and became the first European to cross the Pacific Ocean. The voyage was long and dangerous,and only one ship returned home three years later. Although it was loaded with valuable spices(香料)from the East,only 18 of the fleet’s original crew of 270 returned with the ship. Magellan himself was killed in battle on the voyage, but his ambitious expedition proved that the globe could be circled by sea.

Magellan’s daring and ambitious voyage around the world provided the Europeans with far more than just spices. Although the trip westward from Europe to the east via the Strait of Magellan had been discovered and mapped, the journey was too long and dangerous to become a practical route to the Spice Islands. Nevertheless, European geographic knowledge was expanded immeasurably by Magellan’s expedition. He found not only a massive ocean,but he also discovered that the earth was much larger than previously thought. Finally, although it was no longer believed that the earth was flat at this stage in history, Magellan’s circumnavigation(环球航行)of the globe proved that the medieval theory about the globe was incorrect.

A.To test the medieval theory.
B.To find a new strait in route.
C.To obtain the fame and fortune.

The five interlocked Olympic rings have become fairly familiar at this point. But do you know what they mean and the story behind their    1    (create)?

The 1912 Olympic Games, held in Sweden, were the first to include athletes from    2    were then considered the five continents: Africa, Asia, Europe, Oceania, and America.    3     (inspire) by what had become a    4    (true) global event, Coubertin designed the symbol of the Games: the Olympic rings. Since 1920, the Olympic rings    5    (use) in every summer and winter Games.

Given what we know about colors and their many symbolic    6    (mean), it seems like it’d be safe to assume that each color featured in the Olympic rings would stand     7    something specific, like a continent.    8    in reality, that’s not the case at all. Coubertin    9    (choose) the six official Olympic colors——blue, yellow, black, green, red and white (featured in the background)——because when he introduced the symbol in 1913, every single flag of the nations     10    (participate) in the games could be reproduced using the colors in the Olympic symbol. Or, in his own words: “The six colors thus combined reproduce those of all nations without exception.”
