• 1．The River Nile stretches more than 4，000 miles between Lake Victoria and the Mediterranean Sea.Out of all that length，the relatively short section between Aswan and Luxor in southern Egypt is the most fascinating.Read on for the main temples to visit on the journey down the Nile between Aswan and Luxor.
  Philae Temple
     This gorgeous Greco-Egyptian temple to the goddess Isis is easily reached by boat from Aswan.It was torn apart and moved to its current island location as part of the UNESCO project to save Nubia's ancient monuments from the rising waters of Lake Nasser.
  Abu Simbel
     Although it's not along the Nile between Aswan and Luxor，this stunning temple is often visited as a long day trip from Aswan by airplane or road.Constructed around 1260 BC，the temple was also rescued from Lake Nasser by the UNESCO project.
  Edfu Temple
     One of best-preserved temples from ancient times，the Edfu Temple is where the ancients worshiped the god of the sky.Over the centuries，the temple was nearly covered by sand from the nearby desert and inaccessible due to the annual flooding of the Nile，enabling it to be preserved in such an original state.
  Temple of Karnak
      The massive Temple of Karnak is both a masterpiece of ancient Egyptian architecture and one of the largest temples ever constructed anywhere on the planet.It begs two visits：once by daylight to appreciate the engineering and artistic beauty of the Great Hypostyle Hall and again after dark when the ruins come alive during a sound and light show.
  
  （1）Which temple will be a better choice if you plan to go at night？

  
  A．Abu Simbel.
  B．Edfu Temple.
  C．Philae Temple.
  D．Temple of Karnak.
  （2）What do Philae Temple and Abu Simbel have in common？

  
  A．They are usually reached by boat.
  B．They are both located on an island.
  C．They were once under the threat of floods.
  D．They were once pulled down and reconstructed.
  （3）Why is Edfu Temple well preserved？

  
  A．Because it was difficult to spot and reach.
  B．Because the ancients feared the power of the god.
  D．Because it was protected by the UNESCO project.

• 2．Former truck driver Chen Xianjun played a final chord（和弦） on the guitar as he and his four band-mates—a salesperson，a farmer and two doctors—enjoyed the sunshine of early winter by West Lake in Zhejiang Province.
     "Cherish your life，" Chen sang his song's last line.Behind him was the photo of a foreigner wearing a warm smile and hugging his guitar.It was the 27-year-old man，Philip Hancock，an Australian teaching English in Chongqing，who made the warm scene come true.
     Hancock died in May 2018 in Chongqing.His parents obeyed Hancock's wish to donate his organs after death.Hancock's liver and kidneys saved the lives of three people in the band and his corneas（角膜） made the other two regain the eyesight，including Chen.
     "Last year，Red Cross officials advised that the five of us form a band in memory of Hancock.They told me that Hancock dreamed of having his own band one day，" Chen said.He accepted the advice instantly，and so did the other recipients of Hancock's organs. "I'm more than lucky to be able to show respect for the man who gave me a second chance at a full life，" he said.
     In the past year，the five "musicians" have learned various instruments.They traveled from different parts of Chongqing and Sichuan Province to meet in a studio for lessons.The Band for One，a fitting name for the group，finally gathered by the lakeside in Hangzhou on November 7 to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the implementation（實施） of voluntary organ donations in China.
     "I was nervous before stepping on the stage，but I think we all played our parts to the best after so many months of preparation and tension，" Chen Xianjun said. "All the recipients now have the ability to carry on with their lives，and I believe that's exactly what Hancock wanted for us."
  
  
  （1）What can we learn from the second and third paragraphs？

  
  A．Hancock saved the lives of three people in the band before he died.
  B．The lives of the people in the band have changed thanks to Hancock.
  C．Chen Xianjun would have died if Hancock had not donated his organs.
  D．Hancock helped Chen Xianjun form a band while teaching in Chongqing.
  （2）Which can replace the underlined word "recipients" in Paragraph 4？

  
  A．Receivers.
  B．Givers.
  C．Helpers.
  D．Supporters.
  （3）What can we learn from the passage？

  
  A．Hancock had formed a popular band before he passed away.
  B．The band went to play in Hangzhou in memory of Hancock.
  C．The five people formed the band on Chen Xianjun's advice.
  D．The five people in the band tried to learn various instruments.
  （4）Which word best describes the five people's attitude to Hancock？

  
  A．Objective.
  B．Pleased.
  C．Thankful.
  D．Doubtful.

• 3．Stonehenge （巨石陣）may have been a prehistoric health center rather than a site for observing stars.or s temple in honor of the dead，scientists said yesterday.New evidence unearthed at the World Heritage Site in more than 40 years suggests that the monument was a place where the diseased and injured went in groups，seeking cures.
     After a two-week dig，scientists have concluded that Stonehenge was "the ancient healthcare centre of southern England" because of "the existence of bluestones"--the smaller columns of dolerite （輝綠巖） that formed an earlier stone structure.
     By dating pieces of remains to around 7330 BC，Tim Darvill，of Bournemouth University，and Goff wainwright，of the Society of Amtiquaries have found that hunter-gatherers were at the site on Salisbury Plain 4，000 years earlier than thought.The first stage of Stonehenge，a round earthwork structure，was built around 3000 BC.Professor Wainwright added："I did not expect the degree of complexity we discovered.we're able to say so much more about when Stonehenge was built and why-all of which changes our previous understanding of the monument."
     The research reveals the importance of the henge's famous bluestones.Hundreds of bluestone chips gathered at the site have led the team to conclude that the bluestones were valued for their curing effects-the key reason that about 80 of them，each weighing up to 4 tons and a half，were dragged more than 150 miles from the Preseli Hills to Wiltshire.After years of research，Professors Darvill and Wainwright have concluded that，for thousands of years，the Preseli mountain range was home to magical health centers and holy wells.
     Even today there are those who believe in the curing powers of the springs for coughs and heart disease，and people who use crystals and bluestones for self-curing.Radiocarbon tests have also revealed that the construction of the original bluestone circle took place around 2300 BC three centuries later than originally thought.Interestingly，on the same day died the "Amesbury Archer"-- sick traveler from the Swiss or German Alps who had an infected knee---whose remains were discovered about five miles from Stonehenge.The professors believe that he was a devoted religious person who was hoping to benefit from the curing powers of the monument.
  
  （1）Stonehenge is recently believed to be a place for people

  .
  A．to recover from poor health
  B．to observe star movements
  C．to hold religious ceremonies
  D．to gather huge bluestones
  （2）What can be inferred about Stonehenge from the passage？

  
  A．The springs could cure coughs and heart disease best.
  B．The new discovery was the same as what had been expected.
  C．Some huge bluestones were not produced at Stonehenge.
  D．The original bluestone circle was thought to be constructed around 2000 BC.
  （3）The sick traveler in the passage is supposed to be

  .
  A．a(chǎn) devoted religious person from Stonehenge
  B．one of the earliest discoverers of Stonehenge
  C．the first explorer to test the magical power of bluestones
  D．a(chǎn) patient trying to cure his infection at Stonehenge
  （4）Which the following might be the best title for the passage？

  
  A．Stonehenge：A New Place of Interest
  B．Stonehenge：Still Making News
  C．Stonehenge：Heaven for Adventurers
  D．Stonehenge：Still Curing Patients

• 4．I have frequently taught Research Methods and Design to college students at several institutions.I love teaching this course.One reason，of course，is that I enjoy thinking about research methodology （方法學） and sharing it with others.The other reason，however，is the obvious impact that it has on students.Every term，one （if not more） student tells me how taking this course has affected him/her： "I used to just read articles and believe what they said，but now I find myself asking 'Is this true？How do they know？Is this a well-designed study？'" That is what I want the students to achieve in this course.
     This brings to mind something written by Dorothy L.Sayers in 1948.One of her books，The Lost Tools of Learning speaks to Sayers' thoughts on education. "By teaching our young men and women to read，we have left them at the mercy of the printed words.By the invention of the film and the radio，we have made certain that no dislike for reading shall protect them from the constant battery of words，words，words.They do not know what the words mean：they are victims to words in their emotions instead of being the masters of them in their intelligence."
     We are well past the 1940s，but her observation is still relevant.Sayers' point is well taken.In the world of 24-hour news and social media that often resembles （類似） the Wild West，the ability to carry out evaluations has never been more important.In order to resist the distortions with which we are constantly bombed in the media，as well as be able to present a persuasive argument，we must be able to reason well，and think and give a judgement carefully.
     When my students begin the Research Methods and Design course，they are generally not content to read all those research article I give.However，by the end of the course，they are excited about their newly obtained abilities.
  
  （1）What is the author's course goal for her students？

  
  A．Thinking critically.
  B．Reading deeply.
  C．Designing studies well.
  D．Questioning themselves.
  （2）What did Sayers imply about education？

  
  A．It was boring.
  B．It was worrying.
  C．It was conventional.
  D．It was useless.
  （3）What does the underlined word "distortions" in paragraph 3 refer to？

  
  A．Popular news.
  B．Various evaluations.
  C．Persuasive arguments.
  D．Misleading information.
  （4）Why does the author write the text？

  
  A．To review a book.
  B．To introduce a writer.
  C．To suggest a practical skill.
  D．To criticize social media.
