听力原文：M: Hello. This is Greg Rice reporting live in Barrow, Alaska.

W: Hello, Greg. Is everything going smoothly？

M: Yes. I've just arrived here in Barrow, Alaska, to bring you live coverage of what appears to be the results of a huge meteorite impact, perhaps the largest in recent history, that occurred just twelve hours ago. The exact location of the impact is unknown, but estimates put it about 20 kilometers south of Barrow based on shock waves felt throughout the region.

W: Are there any witnesses？

M: Yeah. Some witnesses say they saw a bright light streaking through the sky, accompanied by a roaring boom, moments before the impact. It's unknown whether there are any casualties, but it is unlikely considering this sparsely populated area.

W: It's said that such impacts were commonplace during the formation of our solar system, and many believe that a meteorite 10 kilometers in diameter which crashed into Earth 65 million years ago led to the mass extinction of many animal species including the dinosaurs.

M: You're right. But it is often difficult to calculate the number of such large impacts on Earth because erosion and vegetation make it difficult to spot them. In recent years, astronomers have focused more of their attention on the paths of many uncharted space rocks or asteroids floating out there in the hope that we might be able to determine the threat they pose on mankind...This is Greg Rice reporting from Alaska.

W: Thanks, Greg...We'll keep you up-to-date on any development there.

A．An alien spacecraft landing.

B．The impact of a meteorite.

C．A volcanic eruption.

D．The blizzard conditions in Alaska.

Cairo, the cradle of civilization, the Melting Pot of Ancient and Modern Egyptian Civiliza

tions. It is the largest city in the Middle East and lies at the center of all routes leading to and from the three continents: Asia, Africa and Europe. It is the city where past and present meet. On its west side lies the Ancient Egyptian city of Memphis, and the site of the Pyramids, the only wonder surviving of the Seven Wonders of the World. Indeed, a journey through Cairo is a journey through time...

In spite of a thousand years of history, Cairo is young by Egyptian standards, because modern Cairo emerged only with the Arab conquest of Egypt.

The most famous of Cairo's sights is the string of 60 pyramids that stretches along the western border of the desert. Contrary to the common belief, only the Great Pyramid of Khufu, not all three Great Pyramids, is on the list of Wonders. The monument was built by the Egyptian pharaoh Khufu of the Fourth Dynasty around the year BC 2560 to serve as a tomb when he dies. When it was built, the Great pyramid was 145.75 m high. Over the years, it lost 10 m off its top. It ranked as the tallest structure on Earth for more than 43 centuries. Throughout their history, the pyramids have stimulated human imagination. When Napoleon invaded Egypt in 1798, his pride was expressed through his famous quote:" Soldiers! From the top of these Pyramids ,40 centuries are looking at us."

Cairo has been the most important arts center in the Islamic world for a thousand years. Cairo's long history and rich heritage are revealed in its many museums. The famous sights in this area are the Entomological Society Museum, with an excellent collection of Egyptian insects and birds. Also in the area is the museum housing the mysterious Sun Boat, only discovered in 1954 near the south side of the pyramid. The boat is believed to have been used to carry the body of Khufu in his last journey on earth before being buried inside the pyramid.

This is Cairo—radiant with a long and glorious past; adorned with the achievements of a distinguished present.

This is Cairo — a cradle of civilization, a wellspring of culture, and a meeting-place of the Asian, African, and European World.

This is Cairo-An international center for social economics, and political activity, which is making the noblest efforts aimed at peace among all nations and the benefits of all mankind.

Cairo is______.

A．the largest city in three continents

B．the financial center of the world

C．the' capital of Egypt

D．the youngest city in middle east

第9题

Man has always wanted to fly. Some of the greatest men in history had thought about the pr

oblem. One of there, for example, was the great Italian artist, Leonardo Da Vinci. In the sixteenth century he made designs for machines that would fly, But they were never built.

Throughout history, other less famous men had wanted to fly, an example was a man in England 800 years ago. He made a pair of wings from chicken feathers. Then he fixed them to his body and jumped into air from a tall building. He did not fly every far. Instead, he fell to the ground and broke every bone in his body.

The first real steps took place in France, in 1783. Two brothers, the Montgolfiers, made a very large "hot air ballon". They knew that hot air rises. Why not fill a balloon with it？ The ballon was made of cloth and paper. In September of that year. The King and Queen of France came to see the balloon. They watched it carry the very first air passengers into the sky. The passengers were a sheep and a chicken. We do not know how they felt about the trip. But we do know that the trip lasted eight minutes and that the animals land ed safely. Two months later, two men did the same thing. They rose above Paris in a balloon of the same kind. Their trip last- ed twenty-five minutes and they traveled about eight kilometers.

Leonardo Da Vinci ______.

A．said that man would in the sky one day

B．built a kind of machine which never flew

C．drew many beautiful pictures of birds.

D．made designs for flying machines.
