Staff ha
25、ve been rushed off their feet since Jacksons death as thousands of mourners visit the exhibition to pay tribute to the star. The statue has skinny cheeks and - most strikingly - a tipless nose. It is on display at the Ancient Egypt exhibition at The Field Museum in the United States. The bust(半身像 )
26、was bought in Cairo in 1889 and has been on display at the museum for 21 years. But its popularity has risen rapidly since Michael Jacksons death after fans started writing about the ancient statue on internet blogs. The bust was carved during the New Kingdom Period, which ran between 1550 BC to 105
27、0 BC. This was around the same time as famous Egyptians Ramesses and King Tut. The museums 4,500 daily visitors are banned from touching or kissing the statue, which is protected behind a glass screen. Astonished fans stand admiring the statue and discussing its likeness with others who have travell
28、ed to see it. Darnell Williams, the director of guest relations, said some fans were treating a visit to the museum like a pilgrimage(朝圣 ). He said: The statue has been here for years but interest has been raised since Michael Jacksons death. People are coming from all over the country to see the st
29、atue and compare its likeness to the king of pop. They want to touch and kiss the model like it is some sort of God but it is behind a screen to protect it from damage. Once people see it they are astounded and cant stop talking about its likeness. It really is remarkable. James Phillips, manager of
30、 near east and north African exhibits, said little was known about the origins of the model. He said: The likeness is astonishing but I think it is probably a coincidence. We do not believe Michael Jackson ever visited the museum or saw the exhibit and there is therefore little chance he based his i
31、mage on it. We believe the model is missing a nose because early Christians or Muslims removed noses from paintings and models to make them non-human. 【小题 1】 Many people are streaming to see the Egyptian statue to -_. A satisfy their curiosity B show their respect to Jackson C enjoy the splendid Egy
32、ptian culture D learn about the history of Egyptian 【小题 2】 The underlined words “rushed off their feet” in the first paragraph mean”_”.

35、atue on internet blogs.说明很多歌迷在博客中写了关于这个 the ancient statue，可以推断正是网络让其受欢迎了。故 C正确。 【小题 4】 B。从整篇文章可以看出古埃及的展览是以地区划分的。 It is true that good writers rewrite and rewrite and then rewrite some more. But in order to work up the desire to rewrite, it is important to learn to like what you write at the early s
36、tage. I am surprised at the number of famous writers I know who say that they so dislike reading their own writing later that they even hate to look over the publishers opinions. One reason we may dislike reading our own work is that were often disappointed that the rich ideas in our minds seem very
37、 thin and plain when first written down. Jerry Fodor and Steven Pinker suggest that this fact may be a result of how our minds work. Different from popular belief, we do not usually think in the works and sentences of ordinary language but in symbols for ideas (known as mentalese ), and writing our
38、ideas down is an act of translation from that symbolic language. But while mentalese contains our thoughts in the form of a complex tapestry (织锦 )， writing can only be composed one thread at a time. Therefore it should not be surprising that our first attempt at expressing ideas should look so simpl
39、e. It is only by repeatedly rewriting that we produce new threads and connect them to get closer to the ideas formed in our minds. When people write as if some strict critics (批评家 ) are looking over their shoulder, they are so worried about what this critic might say that they get stuck before they
40、even start. Peter Elbow makes an excellent suggestion to deal with this problem. When writing we should have two different minds. At the first stage, we should see every idea, as well as the words we use to express it, as wonderful and worth putting down. It is only during rewrites that we should ex
41、amine what we excitedly wrote in the first stage and check for weaknesses. 【小题 1】 What do we learn from the text about those famous writers A They often regret writing poor works. B Some of them write surprisingly much. C Many of them hate reading their own works. D They are happy to review the publ
42、ishers opinions. 【小题 2】 What do people generally believe about the way human minds work A People think in words and sentences. B Human ideas are translated into symbols. C People think by connecting threads of ideas. D Human thoughts are expressed through pictures. 【小题 3】 What can we conclude from t
43、he text A Most people believe we think in symbols. B Loving our own writing is scientifically reasonable. C The writers and critics can never reach an agreement. D Thinking and writing are different stages of mind at work. 答案： 【小题 1】 C 【小题 2】 A 【小题 3】 D 【小题 1】 C细节理解题。根据第二段第一句 famous writers.dislike
44、reading their own writing later，可排除 D，选 C。 A和 B文中未提及。 【小题 2】 A 细节理解题。根据第三段第一句 Different from popular belief, we do not usually think in the works and sentences of ordinary language but in symbols for ideas. 【小题 3】 D 推理判断题。根据第三段第一句，排除 A 项；根据第二段第一句，排除 B；根据最后一段，排除 C；根据最 后一段 we should have two different
45、 minds. At the first stage. It is only during rewrites.，以及第三段描述的大脑工作模式，选 D。 A volcanic eruption in Iceland has sent ash across northern Europe Airlines have stopped or changed the flights across the Atlantic Ocean, leaving hundreds of passengers stuck in airports. Grimsvom is one of the largest and
46、most active volcanoes in Europe. What makes Grimsvom different is that it lies under a huge glacier(冰川 ) of ice up to 12 maters thick. The hot volcano heats up the ice above it, which then forms a layer(层 )of water between the glacier and the volcano This layer of water puts pressure on the volcano,
47、 keeping it stable, As the water flows out from under the glacier, the pressure lifts. The lava(岩浆 ) from the volcano then comes up to the surface. This is exactly what happened today. Now, airlines have to make changes to their flights so as not to fly through the clouds of volcanic ash. according
48、to KLM, one of Europes biggest airlines, airplanes cannot go under the cloud or over it. Going through the cloud can result in ash getting stuck in the airplanes engines, causing damage to the plane. The eruption has also caused problems for animals in Iceland. The volcano left ash and sharp. Glass-like rocks all over the countryside. Farmers are keeping their animals inside to stop them from eating ashcovered grass to the sharp object. 【小题 1
