In the ‘wind method', a mobile if not reusable lifting frame might require a few hours or days to be put into place, with the obelisk lifted in a matter of hours. F. Clemmons' method has one final advantage; the bodies of the slave labour force have not been found; the remains of the giant ramps around the pyramids has equally not been found. There are, in short, no archaeological traces of a method that should have left traces. But the "wind method" would not leave such traces — and would also be a quick to clean up method once the work is completed. Questions 86-90 Do the following statements agree with the information given in the Reading Passage ? In boxes 86 - 90 on your answer sheet, write * YES if the statement agrees with the writer * NO if the statement contradicts the writer * NOT GIVEN if there is no information about this in the passage. 86. Unlike scientists most Egyptian experts believe that the pyramids were built by a massive force of unskilled labour. 87. Unfortunately, all early written records of pyramids and obelisks were lost in the Nile. 88. In January 2004 Clemmons saw a carving in Cairo which gave her the clue she needed. 89. After proving that a single kite could lift an obelisk the team switched its attention to pyramid building. 90. Clemmons theory ultimately failed compared to the other theories because it could not be proved that the Egyptians used wind power. PART 5. For questions 91 - 100, read the passage and do the tasks that follow. Write your answers on the answer sheet. (15 pts) FOREVER YOUNG A. The dream of youth is as old as time, and people have gone to great lengths to preserve themselves. It is said that Cleopatra bathed daily in milk to preserve the beauty two great Romans fell in love with. Countess Erszebet Bathory of Hungary was said to have drunk the blood of hundreds of young women in the mistaken belief that it would keep her like them; it is from here, among other sources, that the legend of the vampire came from. Indeed, literature abounds with such stories; The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde is one - it recounts the story of a beautiful young man who makes a deal so that his portrait grows old instead of him. B. It was not until the twentieth century that the health care industry branched out into the preservation of the body, producing the efficacious, and most profitable arm of medicine today. Treatments generally rely on plastic surgery of one sort or another; facelifts, tummy- tucks, liposuction and the like. Your local chemist will also testify that anti-wrinkle creams sell well, and pills containing vitamin boosts, hormones and herbal concoctions can keep you looking good all the way to the end. C. But there lies the problem. The average lifespan is about 70 years, the maximum 120-odd. We don't even rank at the top of the animal kingdom - giant tortoises get up to 150 often enough, and the giant clam 200 (though both have low-stress lifestyles). So, the quest of the ages has always been for immortality as well as youth, and the traditional paths to this are two. The first is religion and either everlasting life after death or reincarnation. The other method is by way of people's minds; the immortality of fame. As long as people talk about you, you live; Shakespeare is not called the Immortal DeThi.edu.vn
2. Tuyển chọn 9 đề thi HSG Tiếng Anh Lớp 11 cấp Tỉnh (Có đáp án) - DeThi.edu.vn Bard for nothing. To be gone from the minds of the collective unconscious is to truly die. D. But neither option is enough for some people. As Woody Allen said, 'I don't want to achieve immortality through my work. I want to achieve immortality by not dying’. Many people throughout history have felt the same way, and have striven to find a way to reach this most happy of goals. The Chinese thought the precious metal gold was the key, to be drunk down as dust in a liquid suspension. The alchemists, ancestors of present-day chemists, felt that since they believed that base metals such as lead could become gold, so gold could be refined into the most precious material of all: the Philosopher's Stone, source of eternal youth. E. Today the search continues. People who are close to death even have the choice of cryonics; to have their bodies or just their heads frozen solid, to be thawed out once science has solved the problems of disease and old age. And it is hard at work; the science of genetics is looking into the possibility of there being some kind of trigger in our chromosomes which tells our bodies to start to slow down and wrinkle up. If it is found, the theory goes, couldn't it be switched off? Computer technology, too, is on the act. Once the necessary level of complexity has been reached, couldn't our personalities be simply downloaded onto a hard drive, to live there in the machine for all time? F. There is a warning, however, in every tale and myth of eternal life; that those who lose that fear or knowledge of death cease to be fully human. Dorian Gray lived for his pleasure and his needs alone, no matter what suffering they caused. The vampire, of course, has eternal life (being undead), but preys on the living and is hunted by them. The one thing we know for sure is that one day we will die. Is it not this knowledge that fills us with the urge to create beyond ourselves, leave something behind, whether in the form of stories, inventions, children or whatever? And is it not in these that our greatest achievements lie? In which section are the following mentioned? 91 a belief that converting metalic substances could provide the key to everlasting youth 92 those who attain eternal youth in literature pay for it with their humanity 93 medical procedures are effective in creating a youthful appearance 94 the realisation of immortality through making your mark on history 95 individuals being preserved in the hope of medical breakthroughs resulting in extending their lives 96 the prevalence of the preoccupation with immortality in written works 97 our mortal state inspiring us to great heights 98 how products which promise to retain youth are extremely lucrative 99 not being content at the achievement of immortality through enduring fame 100 the conviction that immortality is obtainable in the afterlife SECTION IV: WRITING (60 pts) PART 1.
