Archaeologists working near the Dead Sea became curious about a steep rock near
2、 Qumran. At the top of this rock are the ruins of the great palace and fort of Masada. In 1963 a man began careful exploration of this forbidding place. Yigael Yadin was both soldier and archaeologist, and he and his father had both been studying the Dead Sea Scrolls. Yadin was anxious to explore th
3、e history of the great palace of Masada. It was a huge palace. He knew that hundreds of workers were going to be needed for digging there, so Yadin extended an invitation to young men and women from all over the world to join him in digging at Masada. For two summers hundreds of young people came. M
4、asada is not a pleasant place in mid-summer; the mountains are hot and brown and dry. There was no protection for the workers except in camp huts. Yet each year hundreds came to help. Why? What was the particular interest of this place? Why was there any excitement about this lonely ruin? Masada had
5、 been the scene of great events and acts of courage. The story was famous, but many people had doubts about its truth. Now Yadin and his young workers were digging in order to prove it was true. Masada had once been the palace of King Herod who ruled Palestine under the Romans during the life of Chr
6、ist. He had had this palace built far from the city. It was lonely and it was safe, hanging over the steepest part of the rock. The palace was fixed to the actual sides of the rock at three levels. Nowadays men would not dare to build in such a place; yet Herod gave orders tot his servants to build
7、it there. They did the work with their own hands and simple tools. They made it beautiful with wall paintings and fountains and fine stone floors. Water was brought from a great distance to this waterless mountain, and on the upper level there were beautiful fountains and gardens and baths. Inside t
8、heir palace Herod and his family were comfortable and safe. Earthquakes have since destroyed a lot of the palace, but the main walls are still standing. Young workers have cleared some of the ruins so we can see how beautiful they were. The workers were tied together with ropes and let down over the
9、 cliffs as they worked. Digging in those ruins the young people were sharing the dangers of the men who first built the palace. After Herods death the palace became a fort for the Jewish rebels fighting for their freedom from Rome. But the Romans were too powerful. They had already attacked Jerusale
10、m and the great temple had gone up in flames. They had destroyed the monastery at Qumran. Its priests had escaped to the mountains with their scrolls and treasure. In the year A. D. 73 the Roman army arrived at Masada. Orders had been given to destroy the fort and everyone inside it. There were nine
11、 hundred and sixty men, women and children defending the fort, and the Romans were determined that nobody should escape. They built a wall all round the hill. There were eight camps for guarding every corner. The water pipes going into the fort were cut, and the fountains and the baths in Herods pal
12、ace ran dry. Soon the drinking water was finished. Then the Romans began building a great bank of earth against the side of the hill at Masada; soon the height of the bank reached the height of the wails of the fort. They then shot burning arrows into the fort and set fire to the buildings inside. A
13、s the wooden walls went up in flames and the arrows shot through the air, the defenders were driven back into the fort inside. It was clear that the Romans were going to win. The Jews had no hope of keeping their freedom, and were facing certain death. But the Jews were determined to die as free men
14、, preferring to kill themselves while they were still free. They would not wait for the Roman victory, and decided to make a terrible sacrifice. Every man took his wife and children to his own room. First they burned all their belongings, and said a loving goodbye to each other. When they could say
15、no more the men killed their wives and children. Sadly they returned to a place in the centre of the fort. Their lives had no value now, and they chose ten men to kill all the others. Hundreds of men then lay clown beside their dead families, and the ten chosen officers had the dreadful task of kill
16、ing them all. Finally, the last ten men chose one to complete the sacrifice. He had to kill his nine companions and then he killed himself. When the Romans broke through the walls of Masada they were met by a dreadful silencethey had seized a dead fort. This story of courage and sacrifice brought yo
17、ung people from all over the world to dig at Masada. They admired the strong character and love of freedom shown by the defenders of the fort, and wanted to see where it had happened. In two years Yigael Yadin and his workers raised Masada again from its ruins. Of course the Romans had destroyed eve
18、rything, but signs of the forts history could be seen. They found many examples of the beautiful work of Herods palace ; wall paintings and baths and beautiful rooms were brought to life again. Yet perhaps the little huts of the Jewish defenders were more admired. In some of these the pots were stil
19、l on the fire waiting for the evening meal. In others, the bones of whole families lay together. One pile of bones may have been the remains of the ten men chosen to do the final killing. The character of Masada lives in those simple huts and not in the ruins of the palace. Everything that has been

43、00)八、Section A(总题数：1，分数：90.00)Cubist (立体派艺术) paintings have many straight lines and angular (有角的) planes. They sometimes present several different views of an object at the same time. Brooklyn Bridge by Joseph Stella (American, 18791946) is a cubist picture of the great cable suspension bridge at ni
44、ght. The bridge, large and important, fills entire painting. Spots of light which shine on the various structures of the bridge suggest the headlights of cars speeding along. Despite the lights, we do not see any activity in the picture. There are no cars or trains, and there are no human forms. Ste
45、lla is mainly interested in the structure of the bridge. He presents the mystery of the bridgehow it extends through space from shore to shore, how it rises into the sky and does not fall. The picture is well-proportioned. In the upper middle section of the painting we see the main suspension tower
46、of the bridge with its three rows of arches(拱形). It looks like a church. The road beneath the tower stretches into the distance and disappears behind the tower to connect with the other shore. In the bottom center there is a prism(棱柱) -like shape which looks like a large diamond. Perhaps it represen
47、ts the drill which the builders used when they put in the supports for the bridge. To the right of the prism shape there is a row of semicircular arches which retreat into the distance. These arches suggest tunnels beneath the river for subways. Immediately above the tunnel arches, there are straigh
48、t lines which join together in the distance. These lines suggest roads over the bridge for cars, people, and trains. At the same time, there is another set of joining lines on the left which suggest other roads across the bridge. Stella painted Brooklyn Bridge at the beginning of the “machine age“ In the work he shows his appreciation of the technology and engineering skills of his time. For the bridge is a symbol of new age.（分数：90.00）(1).What are the main features of the cubist paintin
