The exhibition follows a path of time and subject with the visitor exiting through

17、ut a new study suggests they used a little rock n roll. Long-ago builders could have attached wooden poles to the stones and rolled them across the sand，the scientists say.“Technically，I think what theyre proposing is possible， ” physicist Daniel Bonn said.People have long puzzled over how the Egypt
18、ians moved such huge rocks. And theres no obvious answer. On average，each of the two million big stones weighed about as much as a large pickup truck. The Egyptians somehow moved the stone blocks to the pyramid site from about one kilometer away.The most popular view is that Egyptian workers slid th
19、e blocks along smooth paths. Many scientists suspect workers first would have put the blocks on sleds(滑板) Then they would have dragged them along paths. To make the work easier，workers may have lubricated the paths either with wet clay or with the fat from cattle. Bonn has now tested this idea by bu
20、ilding small sleds and dragging heavy objects over sand.Evidence from the sand supports this idea. Researchers found small amounts of fat，as well as a large amount of stone and the remains of paths.However，physicist Joseph West thinks there might have been a simpler way，who led the new study. West s
21、aid, “I was inspired while watching a television program showing how sleds might have helped with pyramid construction. I thought， Why dont they just try rolling the things？” A square could be turned into a rough sort of wheel by attaching wooden poles to its sides，he realized. That，he notes, should
22、 make a block of stone “a lot easier to roll than a square”So he tried it.He and his students tied some poles to each of four sides of a 30-kilogram stone block. That action turned the block into somewhat a wheel. Then they placed the block on the ground.They wrapped one end of a rope around the blo
23、ck and pulled. The researchers found they could easily roll the block along different kinds of paths. They calculated that rolling the block required about as much force as moving it along a slippery(滑的) path.West hasnt tested his idea on larger blocks，but he thinks rolling has clear advantages over
24、 sliding. At least，workers wouldnt have needed to carry cattle fat or water to smooth the paths.25.Its widely believed that the stone blocks were moved to the pyramid site by _.A rolling them on roads B pushing them over the sandC sliding them on smooth paths D dragging them on some poles26.What doe
25、s the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 7 refer to?A Rolling the blocks with poles attached. B Rolling the blocks on wooden wheels.C Rolling poles to move the blocks. D Rolling the blocks with fat.27.Why is rolling better than sliding according to West?A Because more force is needed for sliding.B Be
26、cause rolling work can be done by fewer cattle.C Because sliding on smooth roads is more dangerous.D Because less preparation on paths is needed for rolling.28. What is the text mainly about?A An experiment on ways of moving blocks to the pyramid site.B An application of the method of moving blocks
27、to the pyramid site.C An argument about different methods of moving blocks to the pyramid site.D An introduction to a possible new way of moving blocks to the pyramid site.CWhen the dog named Judy spotted the first sheep in her life，she did what comes naturally.

29、 Six volunteers slid down the cliff with the help of a rope but gave up all hope of finding her alive after a 90minute search.Three days later，a hurricane hit the coast near Cornwall.

Then，one day，the phone rang and Steve Tregear，the coastguard of Cornwall，asked Holden if he would like his dog back.A birdwatcher，armed with a telescope，found the pet sitting desperately on
31、a rock. While he sounded the alarm，a student from Leeds climbed down the cliff to collect Judy.The dog had initially been knocked unconscious(失去知觉的 ) but had survived by drinking water from a fresh stream at the base of the cliff. She may have fed on the body of a sheep which had also fallen over th
