The 43 of the ship that had so fortunately arrived on the scene in time to save their lives was the Ellen. What had 44 her to the exact spot through the darkness and the pathless sea? Her captain had known 45 of the wreck (沉船) and had, indeed, attempted to 46 away from it. But let him speak for himself.
“I was forced by the wind,” he said long afterwards, “to 47 my course (航道). Just as I did it, a small 48 flew across the ship once or twice and then 49 at my face. I took no notice of this until exactly the same thing happened a 50 time, which caused me to think it rather 51 . While I was thus 52 it, the same bird, for the third time, made its appearance and flew about in the same way as before. I was then 53 to change my course back to the original one. It had not gone far 54 I heard strange noises; and when I tried to make sure where they came from, I found I was in the middle of people who had been shipwrecked. I immediately did my best to 55 them.”

第三部分 阅读理解 (共10小题；每小题2分，满分20分)
A
In spite of television and other means to pass information, newspaper is still an important source. No country in the world has more than daily newspapers than the USA. There are over 2,000 of them. The quality of some American papers is very high and their views are quoted all over the world. Well-known dailies like Washington Post or New York Times have a powerful influence all over the country. Many people begin their day by reading the paper. In this way they learn what is going on in the world. Sometimes, however, they don’t have time to read the news carefully and must be satisfied with a quick look at the front page, at other times, they may be in such a hurry that they have time only for a glance at the headlines.
American newspapers try to entertain as well as give information. There are newspapers to satisfy all sorts of readers. Some newspapers are sensational (耸人听闻的), which feature crime, sex and gossip; some are serious, which focus on factual news and the analysis of world events. In big cities there are many types of papers, with several different editions every day. In the small towns there are fewer newspapers and perhaps only one edition each day. In some areas the paper is even printed weekly.
Most newspapers have several sections, especially on Sundays when the section is large than usual. There are, in addition to the front page with the most important news, the sports section and business page. Many of these newspapers print columns by well-known journalists of differing political and social views, in order to present a balanced picture.
Another type of publications which helps keep the population informed is magazines. Some magazines are published weekly, others are put on monthly. There are news magazines, and magazines for special interests as sports, photography and music. Some are for men, others are for women or for children. In the United States, you can find the right thing for every taste and interest.

The oldest stone buildings in the world are the pyramids. They have stood for nearly 5,000 years, and it seems likely that they will continue to stand for thousands of years. There are over eighty of them scattered (分散) the banks of the Nile, some of which are different in shape from the true pyramids. The most famous ones are the “Step” pyramid and the “Bent” pyramid.
Some of the pyramids still look much as they must have done when they were built thousands of years ago. Most of the damage suffered by the others has been at the hands of men who were looking for treasure or, more often, for stone to use in modern buildings. The dry climate of Egypt has helped to preserve (保护) the pyramids, and their very shape has made them less likely to fall into ruin. These are good reasons why they can still be seen today, but perhaps the most important is that they were planned to last for ever.
It is practically certain that plans were made for the building of the pyramids because the plans of other large works have fortunately been preserved. However, there are no writings or pictures to show us how the Egyptians planned or built the pyramids themselves. Consequently (结果), we are only able to guess at the methods used. Nevertheless, by examining the actual pyramids and various tools which have been found, archaeologists (考古学家) have formed a fairly clear picture of them.
One thing is certain: there must have been months of careful planning before they could begin to build. The first thing they had to do was to choose a suitable place. You may think this would have been easy with miles and miles of empty desert around, but a pyramid could not be built just anywhere. Certain rules had to be followed, and certain problems had to be overcome.
The step pyramid had to be on the west side of the Nile; the side on which the sun set. This was for religious reasons. It also had to stand well above the level of the river to protect it against the regular floods. It could not be too far from the Nile, however, as the stones to build it needed to be carried in boats down the river to the nearest point. Water transport was, of course, much easier than land transport. The builders also had to find a rock base which was not likely to crack under the great weight of the pyramid. Finally, it had to be near the capital, or better still, near the king’s palace so that he could visit it easily and personally check the progress being made on the final resting place for his body.
63. The point that the writer makes about the “Step” pyramid in particular is that it is ________.
(A) unlikely to fall into ruin in the near future
(B) unlikely to last for another 5,000 years
(C) not a true pyramid
(D) on the banks of the Nile
64. We can guess how the pyramids were built because archaeologists have _______________.
(A) studied them and the tools used to build them
(B) found the plans of some of them
(C) found paintings showing each stage of construction
(D) found descriptions of how some were built
65. What, according to the writer, is the “one thing that is certain”?
(A) Pyramids required extensive planning.
(B) a pyramid’s site was not chosen with care.
(C) We know nothing else about the building of pyramids.
(D) Pyramids posed (引起) many difficult problems.
