26、 were built in Europe. They werebuilt from about 1,000 AD to about 1,500 AD, during a period known as theMiddleAges.Castles played an important role after the fall of the Roman Empire.When a king granted land to nobles, the nobles promised in return to servethe king and provide him with soldiers. No

27、bles built castles on the landsgiven to them. But some nobles simply claimed land as their own and built a castle on it. Thatwas asking for trouble. There were many power struggles between nobles and kings, and amongthe nobles themselves.A typical stone castle had several main parts. At the centre o

28、f the castle was a tall and verystrong building called the keep. This is where people in the castle made their last stand if theouter defences(防御) failed. The keep was set in a courtyard, where there were workshops,stables, and a kitchen.High, thick walls surrounded the keep and the courtyard. Stron

29、g, round defensive towersstood at the corners of the walls. Guards walked along the tops of the walls and towers.Many stone castles were surrounded by a wide ditch called a moat(护城河). Some moatswere filled with water, but many were not. The only way into the castle was across a woodendrawbridge over

30、 the moat. If enemies attacked, the defenders raised the bridge. Then theylowered a heavy iron-and-wood barrier called a portcullis to block the entrance to the castle.A well-built castle was a pretty safe place to be. Attackers had a hard time getting in. Butthey still had some options. They could

31、go over the walls using ladders. They could smash (撞碎) through the walls or doors. Or they could dig under the walls and try to get part of the wallto fall down. If none of those things worked, they could just camp outside until the defendersran out of food.Attackers sometimes brought large machines

32、 called siege engines with them to breakthrough castle doors or walls. This was a heavy wooden beam with a metal cap.In the early 1500s, cannons entered wide use in warfare. Cannonballs could dig into the base ofstone walls and weaken them. The walls then fell under their own weight. As a result, ca

33、stleswere no longer needed.29. The underlined word “That” refers to the fact that _.A. nobles built castles on the lands given to themB. the nobles promised to serve the king in returnC. some nobles simply claimed land as their ownD. the nobles provided the king with soldiers30.

35、,000AD to about 1,500AD.32. What is the best subtitle of the last two paragraphs?A. Attacking a castleB. Visiting a castleC.Apretty safe placeD. Weakness of a castle初三英语试卷第 5 页 共 9 页CDo you know some people have memories that are completelywrong? They remember things that never happened. Sometimes,

36、manypeople have the same wrong memory. When this happens, its believedthat it is because of the Mandela Effect.People first noticed the Mandela Effect in 2013. That year, NelsonMandela passed away. However, thousands of people remembered himdying in the 1980s. They described watching his funeral(葬礼)

37、 on TV.But in fact, Mandela lived to be 95 years old. How could that be? Howcould so many people have the same wrong memory?Most experts explain the Mandela Effect using brain science. When we make memories,our brains keep them in groups. Each group includes memories that are similar to each other.S

38、ometimes, our brains messed up(混乱). They mix two similar memories together. Thats whypeople thought Nelson Mandela died in the 1980s. They knew he was imprisoned(坐牢) duringthe 1980s. For some reason, they mixed his imprisonment with his death.That would explain why so many people in 2013 thought Nel

39、son Mandela was alreadydead. But would it explain why all those people gave similar descriptions of his funeral? Couldall those people have mixed up the same two memories?There are many other examples of the Mandela Effect. Have you ever seen the Mona Lisa?Many people remember the woman in the paint

40、ing with a frown(皱眉). Others say she wasstraight-faced. If you look at the Mona Lisa today, youll find shes smiling. Did you ever read aseries of childrens books about The Berenstein Bears? No, you didnt. In our reality, the booksare about The Berenstein Bears, spelled with an “a” instead of an “e”.

41、 Still, thousands of peoplebelieve they remember the name spelled differently.Are these wrong memories the result of mixed memories, or is there another explanation?Without further science research, we cant say for sure!33.

42、ome people may have the same wrong memory.C. People are better at remembering certain things.D. People remember unhappy experiences more easily.34.

Andin my opinion, studying history benefits beyond history itself,because it helps develop and impro

45、ve our skills throughstudying history.We can improve our reading skills by reading texts fromdifferent periods. Language has changed and developed over time and so has the way peoplewrite and express themselves. We can also improve our writing skills through learning not tojust repeat what someone e

46、lse said, but to analyze information from multiple sources and comeup with our own conclusions. Its two birds with one stone better writing and criticalthinking!There are so many sources of information out in the world. Finding a decisive truth formany topics just doesnt exist.

47、r one group was a great loss for another we get to create our own opinions of these events.History gives us the opportunity to learn from others past mistakes. It helps usunderstand many reasons why people may behave the way they do. As a result, it helps usbecome smarter as decision-makers.In the s

48、tudy of history we will need to conduct research. This gives us the opportunity tolook at two kinds of sources primary (written at the time) and secondary sources (writtenabout a time period, after the fact). This practice can teach us how to decipher between reliableand unreliable sources.There are

49、 numbers and data to be learned from history. In terms of patterns: patterns inpopulation, disappearances during times of war, and even in environmental factors. Thesepatterns that are found help clarify why things happened as they did.Its incredibly important to learn to question the quality of the

50、 information and “history”we are learning. Keep these two questions in mind as we read through information: How do Iknow what Im reading are facts and accurate information? Could they be the writers opinions?37. The author thinks history helps make good decisions because_.A. we can learn from others
