21、When archaeologist(考古学家)Zahi Hawass and his team set out to excavate an area near the Egyptian city of Luxor in September 2020, all they were hoping to find was King Tutankhamun's mortuary temple. Instead, the archaeologists came across the largest ancient city ever found in Egypt. Hawass, who exposed the discovery on April 8, 2021, believes the extremely large, well-preserved city is the "So'oud Atun", or the "Rise of Aten".

"The discovery of this lost city is the second most important archaeological discovery since the tomb of Tutankhamun," Betsy Bryan, an Egyptology professor at Johns Hopkins University and member of the team, said in the statement.

The city dates back 3, 400 years to the times of Amenhotep III, one of Egypt's most powerful pharaohs(法老), who ruled Egypt from 1391 to 1353 BC. The ninth pharaoh of the 18th Dynasty ruled during a time of peace, allowing him to accumulate large amounts of wealth. While archeologists suspected the pharaoh had used some of his riches to build what Hawass refers to as "the golden city", they'd never been able to find it.

The researchers believe that his son, King Akhenaten, briefly lived in So'oud Atun before founding the city of Amarna about 250 miles away. Historians think the pharaoh and his followers left to escape the priests(祭司)who were unhappy about his decision to give up all other deities(神抵)in favor of the sun god Aten. Following Akhenaten's death, his son, Tutankhamun, moved to Thebes, which also served as Ancient Egypt's capital. The scientists aren't sure if So'oud Atun was ever occupied again.

So far Hawass and his team have unearthed thousands of amazing artifacts(手工艺品). Among them are rings, amulets, and pottery vessels. They also found a well-preserved bakery, cooking, and food preparation area, complete with ovens and storage vessels. Due to its size, the researchers believe it may have been a commercial operation. Hawass, who says the team has only explored about a third of the lost city so far, believes there're a lot more surprises to be found.

【1】What word can best describe the discovery of the ancient city?

A．Accidental.

B．Profitable.

C．Intentional.

D．Difficult.

【2】What contributed to the formation of the "golden city" according to the text?

A．The ancient pharaohs' desire for wealth.

B．The demand for an ancient Egypt's capital.

C．No wars during the period of Amenhotep III.

D．The religious belief in gods in the ancient times.

【3】What can we infer about the ancient city from the text?

A．It should be more than 3, 500 years old.

B．It is a sign of ancient architectural art.

C．It used to be the largest city in the world.

D．It has not been explored before.

【4】What is the text mainly about?

A．A well-preserved temple.

B．An archaeological discovery.

C．A great Egyptian archaeologist.

D．A new research on an ancient city.

24、When my great-grandmother died in the mid-90s, we found a number of questionable collections in her house, including a paper bag filled cleaned-out egg shells and a very poisonous jar of mercury (水银). In short: She was totally a hoarder (囤积者). Had she lived to see the age of reality television, we could have put her on A&E’s Hoarders, which tracks the lives of people who can’t stop thinking about collecting something and can’t bring themselves to throw things away.

Though it’s not yet considered an official problem, somewhere around 5 percent of Americans, or 15 million people, struggle with non-stopping collecting behaviors. After years of being considered as a OCD (强迫症), in May, hoarding will officially be recognized as its own clear Sickness In DSM, the standard book of sicknesses used by mental health professionals to classify mental health issues.

Though the research is still early, studies have shown hoarding is related to thinking-related differences in processes like decision-making, sorting and separating and labeling. In studies of people with hoarding problems, the areas of the brain connected with decision making lit up more when making choices about material objects, showing more emotional engagement with items than usual. Another study found that hoarders find it more difficult to make decisions about their own possessions than someone else’s.

“There is no doubt that the continuous getting stuff is the most important part of American culture.” said Sandra Stark, one member of the Hoarding Response Team. In San Francisco, nearly $6.5 million is spent by landlords and service agencies each year on hoarding-related issues, which include the removal of children or the elderly due to health and safety concerns. Hoarding has been identified as a direct contributor to up to six percent of all deaths by house fire.

【1】What did the author feel when he found his great-grandmother’s collections?

A．He was doubtful about her behavior.

B．He was depressed at her collections to some extent.

C．He was a little enthusiastic about her action.

D．He was disappointed at her behavior.

【2】What do we know about hoarding in the study?

A．It has been studied for a long time.

B．It is relevant to the thinking-related differences.

C．It makes hoarders easy to decide how to deal with their own stuff.

D．It makes hoarders have no interest in making choices about material objects.

【3】What effect does hoarding have according to the last paragraph?

A．It leads to many people’s deaths by house fire.

B．It causes many children and old people homeless.

C．It becomes the most important culture in America.

D．It helps the landlords and service agencies make a profit.

【4】What is the author’s purpose of writing the text?

A．To complain the hoarding.

B．To introduce a study result about hoarding.

C．To help people collect right things.

D．To explain the disadvantage of hoarding.

I always wanted to be as smart as she thought I already was.

David Whyte wrote, “People are hungry, and one good word is ______ for a thousand.” I think the good words Mrs. Gross gave me helped me to ______ my good words with others. Mrs. Gross showed me just how much ______ one soul can have on another. And I am ______ for putting her in my life.
