27．The Pharos，the great lighthouse of Alexandria，was one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.It stood on the island of Pharos，in the harbor（港口） of the city of Alexandria.In 280 B.C.，PtolemyⅠSoter，the ruler of Egypt，ordered the building of the lighthouse.Twenty years later，it was finished-the first lighthouse in the world and the tallest building on Earth，besides the Great Pyramid of Egypt.
The Pharos was designed by Sostrates，a Greek architect.Sostrates wanted to leave his name on the base of the lighthouse.But Ptolemy refused，ordering that only his own name appeared on the building.But Sostrates found a way to do thjye.ai.At the base of the Pharos，Sostrates left a message containing his own name.Then he covered it with plaster（建筑石膏） and left Ptolemy's name over it.After many years，the plaster disappeared and people knew the true architect of the lighthouse.
In 1302 and 1323，two strong earthquakes hit Alexandria，damaging the lighthouse.In 1326，it finally fell into the sea.Much of what we know about the lighthouse comes from the writings of Arabs who once visited the Pharos.
The Pharos was about 384 feet tall，the same height as a modern 40-story building.At the top of the lighthouse stood a large statue of Poseidon，the Greek god of the sea.Under it was a beacon，the source of light for the lighthouse.The Pharos used two kinds of beacons.At night，a large fire created the light.During the day，a huge mirror made use of the sunlight to create the light.
It was said that the mirror was also used to set enemy ships on fire as they entered the harbor by directing the sun's rays （光线） at them.While the idea is interesting，it is also clearly impossible.
（1）Why did Sostrates use plaster at the base of the Pharos？
A．To follow Ptolemy's orders.
B．To hide his name left on the base.
C．To protect the base from damage.
D．To make the lighthouse more beautiful.
（2）How long had the Pharos stayed standing？
A．For about 800 years.
B．For about 1，000 years.
C．For about 1，600 years.
D．For about 2，000 years.
（3）What does the underlined word "it" in Paragraph 4 refer to？
A．The lighthouse.
B．The statue.
C．A large fire.
D．A huge mirror.
（4）What's the main purpose of the text？
A．To explain why the Pharos was built.
B．To find more secrets about the Pharos.
C．To offer some basic facts about the Pharos.
D．To introduce the true architect of the Pharos.组卷：3引用：2难度：0.7

28．Obstacles（绊脚石） That Lie on the Way to Success 1.Laziness
Even with a great idea and the courage to pursue it，your efforts will be for naught（徒劳）unless you're willing to take massive action.（1）Write down your goals and the action steps you'll take to pursue those goals.Post your vision and plan in your bedroom，bathroom，office.Share it with others，so they'll hold you accountable for delivering on your plan.
2.Complacency（自满）
Without passion，even the most compelling vision will not be realised. （2）Make your passion into an almost physical characteristic of your personality，an inexorable force that keeps you engaged every moment of every workday，bringing you one step closer to the measure of success that you desire.
3.Distraction
The modern world calls for your attention in ever-louder ways.（3）It takes self-discipline to persevere amidst the noise and haste，to assert your willpower over casual desires and instincts.Channel your emotions，behaviors，and desires toward obtaining the reward of success.Remember：Living a life of self-discipline is less painful in the long run than regretting "what might have been".
4.Doubt
Once you've made a decision，doubt is a worm that eats away at your ability to succeed.Life and work can be hard and even cruel.Remember，the race is not for the swift but rather those who persevere. （4）You owe it to yourself to remain confident in your your plan.
5.Dishonesty
As you begin to be successful，you'll be tempted to lie，exaggerate（夸大），and cheat in order to move your thing forward.However，taking the easy way of dishonesty has a tendency to sneak back up on you.（5）True success comes when you are a person of your word，when you have a pure conscience，and when you have not cheated others on your way to the top.
A.Every path to success begins with a great idea.
B.You should focus on what you are doing.
C.Don't allow doubt to influence your process.
D.Diligence can make up for lack of intelligence.
E.It causes far more problems than telling the truth in the end.
F.Without passion，your energy and enthusiasm will disappear.
G.If you can't experience gratitude you might have stayed exactly where you started.组卷：6引用：1难度：0.5
