閱讀下面短文，從短文后每小題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng) A、B、C、D中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)。

　　Before Nicholas Clapp got there, he had half hoped that he might run into some of Ubar's ruins sticking(凸出)out of the sand．But finding the city wasn't that easy．During the summer, he and his 40 helpers dug at 35 different spots．The only things they found were ground spiders, giant ticks, and deadly snakes．

　　Just before Thanksgiving says Clapp, “We were within a whisker of total failure．”

　　But then Clapp's team looked at the high-tech maps again and saw something surprising．Many of the caravan routes(沙漠商隊(duì)路線)on the high-tech maps came together on the same spot marked“Omani Marketplace”on Ptolomy's map．Two maps, made almost 2000 years apart, pointed the team toward the same area!

　　In December 1991, Clapp arrived at the spot where, according to the maps, the caravans met Clapp had a handheld instrument that could detect objects below the ground．It showed ruins under the sand! He and his team started digging．And then they found it! A tower buried in the sand．They slowly unearthed a giant, eight-sided fortress．It had nine towers and many rooms．People had lived in this fortress 2 000 years ago．Outside its walls, they had found buried remains of nearly 40 campsites．They seemed to be camping areas for traders．

　　More digging found shards, or pieces of popery from ancient Rome, Greece, China, Egypt and Syria．Diggers and scientists agree that people were here for about 5000 years, Clapp and his team were excited水they continued to discover more pieces of the past that seemed to prove that it was the lost city of Ubar．

　　“We started with this hopeless myth,”says Clapp, “and then finally found the truth behind the myth．”But is this unearthed site really the once-great Ubar? Experts aren't totally persuaded．

　　Donald Whitcomb is an archeologist(考古學(xué)家)at the University of Chicago．He doubts that Clapp really discovered Ubar．“There's probably some truth to this myth,”he says．“But Ubar is described as a place, with walls all made of gold, and the rubies and emeralds(寶石)．”No gold or precious stones have been found by Clapp．

　　“I'm not sure whether they discovered Ubar because I'm not sure if Ubar really existed．''

Whitcomb says．

Singing had always been an important part of Gloria Estefan’s life. “Since I was three years old, I sang. I sang everything,” Gloria said. “Cubans,” she added, “are a musical people”.
Gloria was born in Cuba in 1957. Her family left the country just before Fidel Castro came to power. In Miami, where the family settled, many people did not accept Cuban immigrants. In first grade, she spoke little English, but she worked hard to learn the language. Six months after she entered school, she won an award for reading in English!
When Gloria was ten, her father returned from the Vietnam War. Soon, the family realized he wasn’t well. They soon found out that he was badly ill. Her mother went back to teaching at school to support the family. Gloria cared for her father and her younger sister.
She still made the honor roll, and she still had her music, but Gloria was lonely. However, when the band leader Emilio Estefan came to speak at her high school, Gloria sang for him. He asked her to join his band. It was the beginning of the Miami Sound Machine.
Within a few months, the Miami Sound Machine was the top band in Miami. In 1978 Gloria and Emilio married.
At first, the Miami Sound Machine was known only in Miami. Then the band signed with CBS Records. Estefan and his band became stars.
Since then, the Miami Sound Machine has sold millions of records. Gloria has done more than just singing when Hurricane Andrew hit central Florida in 1992. She used only two weeks to organize an all-star concert that raised $2 million for the people who suffered in the hurricane. “We needed a party after that disaster,” she said.
Gloria said, “You have to stay true to the music you really love to do. There will always be people who will tell you, ‘that won’t work.’ You’ve got to be firm in spite of difficulties. Stick to it—that’s the main thing.”
【小題1】Gloria’s father was ill_________.

C．a(chǎn)fter he returned from Vietnam War
D．a(chǎn)s soon as she finished high school

In front of a popular restaurant, a line of customers wait for taxis. And wait. Most of the cabs(taxis) are full. That’s nothing unusual in this city of 4 million people. But it’s 2:30 in the morning.

Visitors to the Olympic Games may leave disappointed if they see Athens only through the eyes of the typical tourist, who makes a beeline of the islands after the visit to the Acropolis(雅典衛(wèi)城) and the unusual and attractive Plaka district. To fully appreciate and discover Athens’ many charms(魅力), do as the Greeks do: walk out into the neighborhoods, find the packed nightclubs, eat at one of the innumerable(數(shù)不清的) restaurants, or see Hollywood stars under real stars in a romantic outdoor cinema.

The Greek capital is named for the ancient goddess Athena, whose favourite animal was the owl(貓頭鷹). It’s a fitting symbol for the city’s nocturnal (夜里的) nature, which often reaches its highest point in summer with a rush hour just before dawn.

As native Athenian Panos Demestiha said, Athens by day is unlivable(不宜居住的), but it’s magical at night. Athenians face up to heavy traffic block, decreasing green space, dusty streets… City officials are using the momentum(契機(jī)) of the August 13-29 Olympics to fix some of these problems and make city life more bearable.

72. To the surprise of the visitors to Athens , ____.

       A．most of the cabs are often full all day long

       B. the cabs are often empty

       C. the cabs are almost full even at 2:30 am    

       D. there is no cab in the street at 2:30 am.

73. The name of Athens came from ____.

     A. a goddess  B. a famous athlete  C. a kind of animal  D. a kind of plant

74. The typical visitors will often visit the following places EXCEP ____.

     A. the neighborhood B. the Plaka district  C. the Acropolis D. famous islands

75. The underlined word “bearable” in the last paragraph can be replaced by “____”.

       A. astonishing    B. forgettable       C. exciting          D. comfortable
