passages
carefully.

passage
is
followed
by
some
questions or unfinished sentences. For
each of them there are four choices marked
A, B, C, and D. Choose the best answer

Questions
1 to 5 are based on the following passage or
dialog.
For any tourist
visiting Egypt, there are two things that everyone
must see.
The first is the 137-meter-
high Great Pyramid of Giza
(
吉萨大金字塔
), the largest
of all the pyramids in Egypt. The
second is the Great Sphinx of Giza
(
吉萨大狮身
人面像
), a
sculpture with the body of lion and the head of a
man, which stands 20
meters tall and 73
meters long.
The
origin
of
the
Great
Sphinx
of
Giza
goes
back
5,000
years.
Although
many
sphinx
sculptures
have
been
found
over
the
years,
researchers
believe
that
the
Great
Sphinx
which guards the
pyramids in Giza was actually the first one to be
made (around
2600-2500
.).
The
head
of
the
Sphinx
represents
the
king
of
Egypt
at
that
time.
About
2,000
years
later,
around
570
.,
sand
had
covered
all
but
the
head
of
the
Great
Sphinx.
The people living in the area had
forgotten the history of the statue, so they
imagined that the head represented the
sun god and began to worship it.
For
hundreds
of
years,
the
Sphinx
attracted
people
both
as
a
religious
monument
and
as
a
work
of
art.
But
eventually,
the
desert
sand
once
again
covered
the
Sphinx,
leaving only the
head visible. It was not until the 1800s that
archaeologists
(
考
古学家
) began
clearing the sand from the statue and began
researching the long
history of the
Sphinx. At last, in the 1920s, all of the sand was
finally cleared
away and restoration
work, which continues to this day, was
begun.
The
name
comes
from
an
ancient
Greek
word.
According
to
Greek
legend,
the Sphinx was an evil creature with
the body of a lion and the head of a woman.
She sat beside a road and asked all
people who passed her a riddle
(
谜语
):
animal
in
the
morning
goes
on
four
feet,
at
noon
on
two,
and
on
three
in
the
evening?
She
killed anyone who couldn't make sense of the
question. The riddle was finally
solved
by
the
Greek
king.
The
Sphinx
then
threw
herself
from
her
high
rock
and
died.

Questions 6 to 10 are
based on the following passage or
dialog.
When looking for
love, people may go to some extreme lengths. They
might go on
blind dates set up by
family and friends. They might write personal ads
to place
in
newspapers.
Or
they
might
use
a
computer
to
help
them
in
their
search
for
a
soul
mate
by
joining
an
online
dating
service.
Some
people
have
even
tried
to
find
their
perfect match through
game shows on television. Many of these TV dating
shows,
including The Bachelor and Who
Wants to Marry a Multimillionaire, have proved to
have millions of viewers watching each
week to find out which of the contestants
will find true love.
Of all these game shows, perhaps the
one with the most unexpected ending was
Mr.
Right,
which
was
shown
in
England
in
2002.
On
the
show,
a
bachelor,
thirty-five-year-old Lance Gerrard-
Wright, dated 15 women to find the one who was
his ideal partner. For seven weeks on
the show, Gerrard-Wright, took turns going
on dates with each of the women, taking
them to expensive restaurants and exotic
locations. He even met the women's
families and introduced them to his own. Then
at the end of each show, he would
choose between one and three of the contestants,
with whom he had felt the least
compatible, and say goodbye to them.
At
one
point
during
the
series,
one
contestant
volunteered
to
leave
because
she
said she didn't find him
attractive. After two dates she said she had had
enough,
and
she
couldn't
see
it
working,
wasn't

cup
of

In
another
show
the

he was on a date with burst into tears
when he called her by another contestant's
name.
called
me
by
another
girl's
name.
I
can't
believe
you
did
that.
I
really
liked
you,
she
sobbed.
But
in
the
final
show,
the
woman
he
eventually
chose
decided
she didn't want to
marry him after all.
