16.Directions:Read the passage carefully.Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the no more than 10words.
The Mayan Indians lived in Mexico for thousands of years before the Spanish arrived in the 1500s.The Maya were an intelligent,culturally rich people whose achievements were many.They had farms,beautiful palaces,and cities with many buildings.The Mayan people knew a lot about nature and the world around them.This knowledge helped them to live a better life than most people of that time.Knowledge about tools and farming,for instance,made their work easier and more productive.
In ancient Mexico there were many small clearings in the forest.In each clearing was a village with fields of corn,beans,and other crops around it.To clear the land for farms,the Maya cut down trees with stone axes.They planted seeds by digging holes in the ground with pointed sticks.A farmer was able to grow crops that produced food for several people.But not every Maya had to be a farmer.Some were cloth makers,builders,or priests(教士).
Measuring time was important to the Maya,for farmers needed to know when to plant and harvest their crops.Mayan priests made a system to keep track of time.They studied the Sun,Moon,stars,and planets.They made a calendar from what they learned.The year was divided into 18months of 20days each with five days left over.The Mayan calendar was far more accurate than the European calendars of the time.
Around the year 800,the Maya left their villages and beautiful cities,never to return.No one knows why this happened.They may have died from an infectious disease.They may have left because the soil could no longer grow crops.Archaeologists(考古學(xué)家)are still trying to find the lost secrets of the Maya.They are still one of our greatest mysteries.
(Note:Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN THIRTEEN WORDS.)

81.Aknowledge of nature and the world around them helped Mayan people live a better life than most other people.
82.You know Maya farming was most productive from the fact that several people
could feed on the crops one farmer grew.
83.Why did Mayan priests make the Mayan calendar?Because farmers needed to know when to plant and harvest their crops.
84.When did Maya civilization collapse?Around the year 800..

分析 本文主要介紹了瑪雅人在歷史上取得了很多成就,創(chuàng)造了很多歷史,以及瑪雅文化消亡的時(shí)間等.

解答 81.A knowledge of nature and the world around them 細(xì)節(jié)題.根據(jù)第一段The Mayan people knew a lot about nature and the world around them這句話,看出瑪雅人懂得很多關(guān)于自然和世界的知識(shí)幫助他們過(guò)上更好的生活.
82.could feed on the crops one farmer grew 細(xì)節(jié)題.在第二段"A farmer was able to grow crops that produced food for several people"這句話告訴我們一個(gè)農(nóng)村種植的糧食可以供養(yǎng)幾個(gè)人.
83.Because farmers needed to know when to plant and harvest their crops.細(xì)節(jié)題.根據(jù)文章第三段Measuring time was important to the Maya,for farmers needed to know when to plant and harvest their crops這句,瑪雅人需要根據(jù)時(shí)間來(lái)播種和收割莊家,所以創(chuàng)造了日歷.
84.Around the year 800. 細(xì)節(jié)題.最后一段第一句Around the year 800,the Maya left their villages and beautiful cities,never to return看出時(shí)間在800年,瑪雅文化消失了.

點(diǎn)評(píng) 做閱讀表達(dá)題時(shí),理清文章的脈絡(luò)、掌握文章的主旨大意,并能運(yùn)用簡(jiǎn)潔的語(yǔ)言表達(dá).回答要有針對(duì)性觀點(diǎn)要明確.不要摘抄文章原句.

8.For years Tom Anderson's life was withered(枯萎) up by the memory of his part in an outdoor adventure that resulted in the death of one of his classmates.He and his wife separated after six years of marriage.Then the news about Tom changed.His wife Betty came back; he earned a fine position in a company.
One day he told me what had changed his life:I used to think,‘Nothing can undo what I have done.'The thought of my guilt would stop me in the middle of a smile or a handshake.It put a wall between my wife and me.Then I had an unexpected visit from the person I feared most to see-the mother of the college classmate who died."Years ago",she said,"I found it in my heart,through prayer,to                .Betty forgave you.So did your friends and employers."She paused,and then said strictly,"You are the one person who hasn't forgiven Tom Anderson.Who do you think you are to stand out against the people of this town and the Lord Almighty?""I looked into her eyes and found there a kind of permission to be the person I might have been if her boy had lived.For the first time in my adult life I felt worthy to love and be loved."
It is only through forgiveness of our mistakes that we gain the freedom to learn from experience.But forgiving our shortcomings doesn't mean ignoring that they exist.On the contrary,it means facing them honestly,realistically.Unless you forgive,you cannot love.And without love,life has no meaning.Forgiveness is a good quality.

77.Fill in the blank with proper words to complete the sentence in paragraph 2?(Within 5 words)forgive you
78.Which sentence in the passage can be replaced by the following one?The thought of my guilt would stop me in the middle of a smile or a handshake.
I would hold back my smile and stop shaking hands with people at the thought of my fault in the adventure.
79.What would you do when someone does something wrong to you indeliberately?Why?(within 30 words)(One possible answer) I would surely forgive him because through forgiveness,a person would soon get out of his disturbance and learn from his mistakes and the kindness is sure to pass on.
