The ancient city of Chichen Itza in southern Mexico was one of the most powerful cities and one of the most powerful ancient cultures-the Maya．But today, no one lives there．It is only a group of old buildings．However, people from around the world still come to see it．People come to learn about its ancient culture, the culture of the Mayan people．

The Mayan culture began almost 3,000 years ago and grew in parts of Central America．But a-bout l,000 years ago a group called the Itza invaded the city and built new parts of the city．based on natural wells．They named the city Chichen Itza, which means "mouth of the well of the Itza"．

The most interesting structure in Chichen Itza is the Pyramid of Kukulcan（库库尔坎金字塔）,

whose four sides all come together at one point at the top．Each side on the Pyramid of Kukulcan has 91 steps．And there is one more step at the top of the pyramid．The steps are as many as the days of a year．Some experts believe the Maya could have used t．his building to help them know when to plant crops．Each day the sun falls on a different step of the pyramid, which could be a way to follow the year．

The people of Chichen Itza especially designed one building to observe and study the movement of the stars and planets．Experts say that the observatory（天文台）is one of the most complex structures the Maya built．A set of steps went up and around the observatory tower．And there were windows in the tower．Each window had a purpose．Experts believe that a person looking through one of these windows could see particular stars on particular dates．The Maya might have believed that studying the stars could tell them the future．Chichen Itza is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site and an important part of the world' s history．28．Visitors came to the city of Chichen Itza to ．

Sunstroke is a condition that can quickly go from dangerous to deadly, especially if proper care isn’t given immediately．

Sunstroke , sometimes called heatstroke, is a result of the body temperature rising above safe limits．This causes the body's necessary functions to stop working．

It's usually pretty easy to avoid sunstroke, as long as proper action is taken．In that case, you need to act as quickly as possible to return that person's body to a safe temperature．Here are a few tips to help treat sunstroke．Call for help

Call to get an ambulance as quickly as possible．This should be the first thing you do, especially if the sunstroked person has fainted（昏迷）．Also, call for help from anyone nearby if you' re in a public place．If there's no one around, call someone nearby if they can get there sooner than an ambulance．Ask everyone to bring you as much water as possible, if there isn't much nearby．

Get the person to a cooler area

If there's a building nearby, aim for that．Anywhere with plenty of air conditioning and water is perfect．If a building isn't available, bring the person to a well shaded area．

Get the water flowing

If the person is still conscious, get him or her to drink water．If there' s a bathtub available, fill it with cool water and put．the person in it．

If your water supply is limited, you have to save it．Dampen a towel or shirt and put it on the person's body．Focus on the face, neck, and chest．

Fan the person

Getting moving air over the person cools him or her down．Use anything, a towel or sheet, a shirt, your hands, or a piece of board．This is where having many people around really helps, as they can combine to fan the entire body．

32．When does a person get sunstroked?

A．when the body doesn't function．

B．when proper care is given immediately．

C．when someone is exposed to the sun too long．

D．when the body temperature goes up beyond what one can bear．

33．What is mainly discussed in the passage?

A．The first aid for sunstroke．B．The cause of sunstroke．

C．The chief symptoms of sunstroke．D．The essential preventions of sunstroke．

34．Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the text?

A．to call for assistance from others．B．to leave the sunstroked person in the shade．

C．to apply a wet towel to the person's face． D．to help the person take some medicine．

35．The text probably comes from

A．a guide book B．a book review

C．a medical magazine D．an official document

第二节：（共5小题：每小题2分，满分10分）

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。

Do's And Don'ts Of Donating

Giving up your unused or unwanted stuff is a great way to make space in your home for the itemsthat you do enjoy on a regular basis．36 Here are 10 do's and don'ts of donating your belongings．DO Prep Your Clothes

You've thoroughly cleaned out your closets and drawers, and have a mountain of clothing waiting to be donated．Before you bag up these pieces, inspect each one to ensure that they’ re in good condition．Make sure all buttons are accounted for, and that you can't see any stains．37

DON'T Donate Damaged Items

The number one rule of donating your stuff is to make sure that it' s in good, useable condition．Don’t pass along clothes or furniture with rips（裂口）or stains, chipped dishes, books that are missing pages, or games with lost pieces．38 Find a local company that will recycle these items instead．

DO Donate More Than Just Clothes

39 Stuffed animals, framed pictures, unused candles, small power tools, sports equipment, ornaments, baskets, blenders, dishes, glassware, utensils, silverware, pots and pans, curtains, blankets, toasters, mixers, pillows, towels, bed sheets, bikes, and exercise equipment are much

sought after donations．

40

With a little common sense it's easy to figure out items that are ideal for donation．But unfortunately some people will throw away the contents of their home without a second thought．As a gentle reminder, it’s never a good idea to donate car parts, flammable products, construction materials, weapons, or explosives．A．Nobody wants to inherit your damaged belongings．

B．Food donations are always in need．

C．DON'T Even Think of Donating These Items

D．Not sure where to start?

E．DON'T Donate Large Appliances

F．Clothes aren't the only household items that can be donated．

C．Wash the items to make them fresh and ready for their new owner．

河北省邢台县2019-2020年度高一上学期语文期末考试试卷A卷 姓名:________ 班级:________ 成绩:________ 一、选择题 (共1题；共6分) 1. （6分） (2020高三上·鹤岗月考) 阅读下面文字，完成下面小题 古代文章（这里主要指散文、骈文、小品文及八股文）评点是中国古代文学批评的一种重要形式和重要组成部分,是宝贵的文化遗产。其评点的范围大到文章的宗旨,结构;小到一字一句的安排,剖毫析芒,无所不至。文章评点自宋代以后就一直十分兴盛,流传十分广泛,（）。 古代文章评点文献数量相当庞大,因此今天开发古代文章评点,首要的任务就是深入开展文献调查。这要注意以下问题:首先,古代文章评点的存在方式是多样的,①我们一般以往认为评点主要存在于选本之中,但实际上在别集之中很多也有评点。明清时期,很多作家在写出作品后寄送给自己的师长、朋友和弟子阅读。这些人阅读之后,往往会有一番评论。很多作家在刊刻自己的文集时,就会把这些评论也附在每篇作品之后。比如,康熙年间所刻《醉白堂文集》有王士祯等人的评点。类似的例子举不胜举。其次,古代文章评点涉及的对象包括经、史、子、集四部之中的文献,所以不能局限在某一个文献类型之中。假如只注重散文或骈文评点,而不去了解八股文评点,或者只注重集部评点,对有关经、史、子部的评点视而不见,肯定不能从总体上把握整个古代文章评点的脉络和格局。 总之,只有进行全面而彻底的考察,才能谈得上系统地整理和研究,否则只能是盲人摸象。 （1）文段中画线处的标点符号，使用不正确的一项是（） A . 古代文章（这里主要指散文、骈文、小品文及八股文）评点是中国古代文学批评的一种重要形式和重要组成部分。 B . 其评点的范围大到文章的宗旨，结构；小到一字一句的安排，剖毫析芒，无所不至。 C . 古代文章评点涉及的对象包括经、史、子、集四部之中的文献，所以不能局限在某一个文献类型之中。 D . 总之，只有进行全面而彻底的考察，才能谈得上系统地整理和研究，否则只能是盲人摸象。 （2）下列在括号中补写的语句，最恰当的一项是（） A . 深为广大读者所喜闻乐见，甚至传播到日本、韩国等 B . 广大读者喜闻乐见，甚至传播到日本、韩国等

Visitors encounter the world’s first postage stamp — the 1840 Penny Black and learn how it revolutionized communication. Stamp images, including Dr. Martin Luther King’s “I have a dream”speech and the stamp that helped raise almost $72 million dollars for breast cancer research, explain how stamps have shaped history and honored people and places worldwide. Gems of American Philately Visitors have the opportunity of examining 13 of the most rare and highly valued stamps in the world of the stamp collection, including the most famous American stamp of all, the 1918 Inverted Jenny. A video explains why the Inverted Jenny and other stamps displayed here are the most valuable. The treasures in this area are rarely available for public viewing. Each tells a story about an important event in US history. Mail Marks History The markings on mail provide valuable clues to the surprising ways mail has been transported over
