Ⅱ.[2018·江西] 完形填空
There are purple clothes, purple handbags, purple bicycles, purple furniture, even purple computers! So purple is one of the most 11 colors today. But in the past, purple was a very expensive and unusual color. Let’s take a look at the rich 12 of the color purple.
Some scientists believe that the first plants to appear on Earth over 500 million years ago 13 looked purple, not green. Plants today are green because 14 use green chlorophyll(叶绿素) to produce energy. 15 these early plants probably used something called retinal, which is a dark purple color.
During the time of the Roman Empire (37BC—476 AD), it was very 16 to make purple dye(染料). The dye came from sea snails(海螺). But 10,000 dead sea snails 17 you just one gram(克) of purple dye…as well as a very bad smell! This 18 purple dye was called Tyrian purple, and it was the preferred 19 of emperors.
In 16th-century England, purple was 20 for the king’s family members. Queen Elizabeth I’s clothes were purple, but ordinary people were not allowed to 21 the color.
In 1856, William Perkin, an 18-year-old 22 student, noticed something strange while doing an experiment(实验). The chemicals(化学药品) he used to clean his instruments 23 with the chemicals he used in his experiment and produced a bright purple color. This 24 led Perkin to start a company using this chemical mixture to make purple dye. The dye was much 25 than sea snail dye. Thanks to Perkin, now anyone can afford to wear purple clothes.

Ⅲ.[2018·盐城改编] 任务型阅读
In ancient Egypt, women did not go out to work. They stayed and worked at home. Many Egyptian men were farmers. Some men were builders or fishermen. Other men worked as artists. Some other important people did not do any farming.
The weather in Egypt was very hot. Ancient Egyptians did not wear many clothes. Men, women and children often wore simple robes made of thin cloth. On their feet they wore light open shoes. People, including women, shaved(剃) hair from their heads to keep cool.
Children in ancient Egypt grew up to do the same jobs as their parents. Girls stayed at home with their mothers. They learned to look after the home. Boys worked with their fathers. They learned to do the jobs their fathers did. They only went to school to learn to write if they wanted to become a scribe(抄写员).

Many of the games played by ancient Egyptians are similar to games we still play today. Children played racing and jumping games. They also played ball games and with wooden toys. Older children played a game like chess.
The kings of Egypt (the pharaohs) had enough power to master their country. The people thought that the pharaoh was a god. He owned everything. Everyone had to do what he told them to do. The pharaohs built huge tombs. When a pharaoh died, he was buried in the tomb. The tombs were often in the shape of pyramids. When a pharaoh was buried, he was surrounded by treasure and by things to help him in the next world, such as food, clothes, furniture and weapons.
