26、y the ministers.”The emperor had thousands of concubines in his palace in Changan (now called Xian, capital of Shaanxi province) but, according to Shi, he only loved Wu, the mother of seven of his children.Wu died in the December of AD 737 at the age of 40 and was interred in Jingling Mausoleum.

30、road by tomb raiders.【語篇解讀】 歷史上武惠妃受到唐玄宗的寵愛并產(chǎn)生巨大影響，死后更享有一般妃子無法企及的殊榮。這一點從發(fā)掘出的武惠妃的陵墓和其石棺的豪華程度就可以窺見一斑。36The underlined word “ banished” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to “_”Akilled Bremoved Cdivorced Dpersuaded解析詞義猜測題。根據(jù)上下文判斷，唐玄宗如此寵愛武惠妃所以他趕走皇后，想立武惠妃做皇后。banish在本句中有“驅(qū)逐，趕走”之意。答案B37The passage mainly

33、ines, she was given much honor after her death.解析由第三段最后一句可知，由于群臣反對，武惠妃沒能被冊封為皇后。答案A39We can infer from the passage that the sarcophagus of Wu Huifei_.Ahas been well preserved in Jingling MausoleumBis used to hold her bodyCis a symbol of her high status at that timeDwas sold abroad four years ago解析推理判
34、斷題。根據(jù)文章倒數(shù)第二段中對武惠妃石棺的描述可推知武惠妃的石棺是那時她崇高地位的象征。答案CBBack in the old days, there were three wise men in ancient Greece. These three wise men were from three different generations. Socrates was the oldest of the three. He passed his knowledge lo his student, Plato, who then passed it on to Aristotle. Socra
35、ies, Plato, and Aristotle were all great philosophers(哲學(xué)家)Together, their schools of thought have since become the foundation of Western philosophy.Aristotle was born in 384 BC.His father, Nicomachus, was a doctor to the king of Macedonia.As the son of a doctor, Aristotle was no stranger to science.
36、 Growing up, he learned quite a lot about medicine and biology from his father. Later, after Nicomachus passed away, he was sent to study in Platos Academy in Athens. Aristotle was about eighteen years old then.Platos Academy was Europes first university. It offered courses on various subjects. Shor
37、tly after Aristotle began his study there, he devoted himself to learning everything on the curriculum. He soon proved himself an excellent student.Because of his wide range of interests, Aristotle never limited his range of education.As a result, he became the leading expert in many fields. Philoso
38、phy was simply one of them.Aristotle was in the Academy for nearly 20 years. He first joined as a student and then stayed on as a teacher. By the time that Plato died around 347 BC., Aristotle had already built up a very good name for himself. However, he did not get the job as the head of the Acade
39、my. That post went to Platos nephew. Some people believed that Aristotle felt angry at the choice. But there is no proof to that theory. Regardless of what he had truly felt, Aristotle decided to leave Athens. So in 347 BC., he quit the Academy and went to work for Hermeias, ruler of Atameus, in Asi
40、a Minor (todays Turkey). Aristotle was not alone in this time. He and another Academy member, Xenocrates, who was also a famous philosopher, founded the Assus Academy. They taught there for several years. During his stay in Atarneus, Aristotle was on very good terms with Hermeias. He even married th
41、e mans niece, Pythias. Interestingly, when Aristotle later wrote his famous book, Politics, he said that the ideal ages for marriage was 37 for the husband and 18 for the wife. Given that Aristotle was 37 years old at the time, it is very likely that Pythias was 18.【語篇解讀】 本文介紹了古希臘著名哲學(xué)家亞里士多德的生平。40Whi
