二、阅读理解阅读下面材料，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。

• 2．As I walked with my tour group along the city wall，we approached the open gate slowly.Peering through the gate，we saw in the distance one of the most iconic buildings of Italy：the Leaning Tower.Finally，we were in Pisa.
     The first interesting piece of information our tour guide told us was that the Leaning Tower was simply a bell tower.For such a world-famous building to have such a common function was quite surprising.Yet the building does have one remarkable claim to fame：it is where Galileo performed his experiments about falling bodies.
     Our next stop was the Cathedral.It looked almost Middle Eastern in its outward appearance.Inside it was unlike any other cathedral I'd ever seen.After we walked around and explored every corner of the building，our guide pointed out one of the most impressive parts of it- the ceiling.A series of carved wooden squares overlain with gold made the ceiling a spectacular accent to an already amazing structure.
     After a quick bite in a cafe，we headed back towards the buses and returned to Florence where the choir students whom I was traveling with had an evening performance in a local church.The church was filled and the performance went off without a hitch，making for a nice end to an overall pleasant day in Italy.
  
  （1）What surprised the author about the Leaning Tower？

  
  A．It was a famous building.
  B．It was located in Pisa.
  C．It was used as a bell tower.
  D．It was where Galileo worked.
  （2）What was special about the Cathedral？

  
  A．Its history.
  B．Its ceiling.
  C．Its function.
  D．Its comer.
  （3）Where is the passage from？

  
  A．A diary.
  B．A guidebook.
  C．A report.
  D．A novel.

• 3．The Great Sphinx of Giza，Egypt，is one of civilization's greatest mysteries.No one knows for sure exactly when，why or how it was built.It is an enormous sculpture，believed to be the biggest ever created.It measures about 241 feet （73.5 meters） long and 66 feet （20 meters） high.Due to its unknown origin，this massive creation has puzzled locals，tourists，historians，and archaeologists for centuries.
     The Sphinx has the body of a lion and the head of a man，which gives it the appearance of a mythical creature.It remains mostly intact today，with the exception of its nose.Many legends surround the missing nose，but a widely accepted explanation is that a former ruler had the nose carved off at some point after its creation.
     Most archaeologists believe that the Sphinx was built about 4.600 years ago by a pharaoh，or ruler，named Khafre.His pyramid，the giant tomb that holds Khafre's body，is located directly behind the Sphinx.Stone blocks cut out in order to carve the Sphinx's face were used to build the Khafre Valley Temple at about the same time.Some historians also believe the Sphinx's face was modeled after the face of Khafre.
     For most of its existence，the Sphinx was buried in sand.One story claims that around 1400 BC，the pharaoh Thutmose IV dreamed that the Sphinx ordered him to clear away the sand in return for the crown of Egypt.The sand soon buried the Sphinx again，however.In the 1850s，the sand was partially cleared，and in the 1930s，the Sphinx was completely exposed.Now，however，wind，humidity，and smog are causing the Sphinx to crumble.Archaeologists must act quickly to preserve this mysterious symbol of Egypt.
  
  （1）Why is the Sphinx considered to be mysterious？

  
  A．It is the biggest sculpture ever made.
  B．Wind and smog didn't break it down.
  C．People know little about it.
  D．It was buried in the sand for centuries.
  （2）What does the underlined word "intact" in paragraph 2 mean？

  
  A．complete
  B．magical
  C．mysterious
  D．confusing
  （3）What is paragraph 3 mainly about？

  
  A．The history of Khafre's famous tomb.
  B．Khafre's great achievement in building the Sphinx.
  C．Documents recording Khafre's ruling of Egypt.
  D．Evidences supporting Khafre's building of the Sphinx.
  （4）What does the author call on the archaeologists to do in the last paragraph？

  
  A．Dig out the Sphinx completely.
  B．Take action to protect the Sphinx.
  C．Make the Sphinx the symbol of Egypt.
  D．Beautify the Sphinx to attract more archaeologists.

     Yes，mothers are incredible people，but they are not always correct.Yet honesty forces me to record the fact that mothers only know best 99.99 percent of the time.Here are some famous slip-ups.
