A

In the water around New York City is a very small island called Liberty Island. On Liberty Island there is a very special statue (塑像) called the Statue of Liberty. It is one of the most famous sights in the world.

The Statue of Liberty was a gift from the people of France to the people of the United States. The statue was made by a French man named Frederic Auguste Bartholdi. The inner support system was designed by Gustave Eiffel, the same man who made the famous Eiffel Tower in Paris.

Liberty, of course, means freedom, and the Statue of Liberty was given to the United States to celebrate the one －hundredth year of U.S. independence (独立) from England. The statue was built in France, taken apart piece by piece, and then rebuilt in the United States. It was opened for the public on October 28, 1886. As you might expect, the statue is very big. Visitors can ride an elevator from the ground to the bottom of the statue. If they want to, they can then walk up the 168 steps to reach the head of the statue where they can look out and enjoy the beautiful sight of the city of New York.

51. A good title for this selection is__________.

A. Famous Sights in the World

B. Liberty Island

C. The Statue of Liberty

D. A Gift from France

52. The world “sights”, in the first paragraph means__________.

A. a small present or gift.

B. a kind of postcard.

C. the power of seeing.

D. something that you can see.

53.We may conclude that the elevator does not__________

A. go fast enough.

B. cost a lot of money.

C. go to the top.

D. both A and B

54. The man who made the part of the statue that we can see on the outside was________.

A. an unknown architect.

B. Bartholdi.

C. Eiffel.

D. both B and C.

B

Traveling without a map in different countries, I find out about different “styles” of directions every time I ask “How can I get to the post office?”

Foreign tourists are often confused in Japan because most streets there don’t have name signs; in Japan, people use landmarks in their directions instead of street names. For example, the Japanese will say to travelers, “Go straight down to the corner. Turn left at the big hotel and go past a fruit market. The post office is across from the bus stop.”

People in Los Angeles, the US, have no idea of distance on the map: they measure distance by time, not miles. “How far away is the post office?” you ask. “Oh,” they answer, “it’s about five minutes from here.” You don’t understand completely, “Yes, but how many miles away is it, please?” To this question you won’t get an answer, because most probably they don’t know it themsel ves.

People in Greece sometimes do not even try to give directions because tourists seldom understand the Greek language. Instead, a Greek will often say, “Follow me.” Then he’ll lead you through the streets of the city to the post office.

Sometimes a pers on doesn’t know the answer to your question. What happens in the situation? A New Yorker might say, “Sorry, I have no idea.” But in Yucatan, Mexico, no one answers “I don’t know.” People there believe that “I don’t” is impolite. They usually give an answer, but often a wrong one. So a tourist can get lost very easily in Yucatan!

However, one thing will help you everywhere in the world. It’s body language.

55. Which one of the followings is probably an example of Japanese directions?

A. “Go south two miles. Turn west and then go another mile.”

B. “Turn right at the hospital and go past a school. The library is right in front of you.”

C. “The post office is about five minutes from here”

D. “The post office is at Street Kamira.”

56. People in Los Angeles don’t give directions in miles because _________.

A. they use landmarks in their directions instead of distance

B. they prefer to lead you the way

C. they often have no idea of distance measured by miles

D. they prefer to use body language

57. Greeks give directions by __________.

A. using street names

B. using landmarks

C. leading people the way

D. giving people a wrong direction

58. Where is Yucatan?

A. In the USA.

B. In Japan.

C. In Greece.

D. In Mexico.

C

How much rain has fallen on the earth in the past? Man has not always kept weather records. Because scientists need a way to learn about past rainfall, they study tree rings. A tree’s trunk grows bigger each year. Beneath its bark (树皮), a tree adds a layer of new wood each year it lives. If you look at a tree stump, you can see the layers. They are called annual rings (年轮) On some trees, all of the rings are he same width. But the ponderosa pines (松) that grow in the American southwest have rings of different width. The soil in the southwest is dry. The pines depended on rainfall for water. In a year of good rainfall, they form wide rings. In a dry year, they form narrow ones.

Scientists do not have to cut down a pine to study its rings. With a special tool, they can remove a narrow piece of wood from the trunk without harming the tree. Then they look at the width of each ring to see how much rain fell in the year it formed.

Some pines are hundreds of years old and have hundreds of rings. These rings form an annual record of past rainfall in the Southwest.

59. The story does not say so, but it makes you think that_________.

A. a tree grows faster when it has a lot of water.

B. scientists cut down trees to study tree rings.

C. pine trees form wide rings every year.

D. the ponderosa pine grows in the Southwest

60. A tree rows a new layer of wood__________.

A. each week

B. whenever it rains

C. every year

D. every season

61. On the whole, this story is about_________.

A. why tree trunks grow bigger.

B. why scientists study tree rings.

C. trees that lived hundreds of years ago.

D. the ponderosa pines in the American Southwest.

62. Why did the scientists study the width of the tree rings?

A. They want to know how big the tree will grow.

B. Scientists want to move the pine trees.

C. The trees depend on rainfall for water.

D. The rings tell them how much rain has fallen.

D

A young officer was teaching some old soldiers. They had been in the army for many years and did not like officers, young or old.

They did not think this young officer could tell them anything about how to fight in a war.

Private Jones was nearly sixty years old and had fought in many wars. He had a row of medals on his chest. “Imagine you are in a battle,” the young officer said to him. “You see seven hundred enemy soldiers coming towards you. What do you do?”

Private Jones thought for a few moments, and then he said, “I shoot them all with my rifle.”

“Now imagine there are seven hundred enemy soldiers coming towards you from the left,” the young officer said, “and seven hundred enemy soldiers coming to you from the right. What do you do?”

“I shoot them with my rifle,” Private Jones answered.

“OK,” the young officer went on, trying to get the answer he wanted, “bu t what if there are a thousand enemy soldiers coming at you from the right, a thousand coming at you from the left, and another thousand coming straight towards you. What do you do now?”

“I shoot them with my rifle,” Private Jones replied.

“But where are you getting all the bullets from?” the young officer demanded.

Private Jones smiled. “From the same place you are getting all those enemy soldiers.”

63. The old soldiers___________.

A. didn’t like Private Jones

B. didn’t like any officers

Would you spend more time playing outside, reading, or studying? Well, now it is your chance to turn off your TV and find out! TV-Turnoff Week is here.

The goal of TV-Turnoff Week is to let people leave their TV sets off and participate in activities form drawing to biking. The event was founded by TV-Turnoff Network, a non-profit organization which started the event in

1995. In the beginning, only a few thousand people took part. Last year more than 7.6 million people participated, including people in every state in America and in more than 12 other countries! This is the 11th year in which organizers are asking people to “turn off the TV and turn on life”.

According to the TV-Turnoff Network, the average kids in the US spend more time in front of the TV (about 1,023hours per year) than they do in school (about 900 hours per year). Too much TV watching has made many kids _______. In fact, in 2001 TV-Turnoff Week, US Surgeon General David Satcher said, “We are raising the most overweight generation of youngsters in American history. This week is about saving lives.”Over the years, studies have shown that watching a lot of TV leads to poor eating habits, too little exercise, and violence. Frank Vespe of the TV-Turnoff Week said that turning off the TV “is, or sho uld be, part of a healthy lifestyle”.

“One of the great lessons of participating in TV-Turnoff week is the realization that every time I turn on the TV, I’m deciding not to do something else,”Vespe said.

TV-Turnoff Week seems to be making a difference. Recent US Census (人口普查) data shows that about 72% of kids under 12 have a limit on their TV time. That’s up from about 63% ten years ago.

66. What’s the best title of the passage? (Please answer within 10 words)

_____________________________ _______________

67. Which sentence in the passage can be replaced by the following one?

According to many studies, spending too much time in front of TV has many bad habits. ______________________ _____________________

68. Please fill in the blank in the third paragraph with proper words or phrases to complete the sentences. (Please answer within 10 words.)

Student Volunteers Brought Sunshine to the Elderly

On New Year’s Day. Li Yue and Zhang Hua, students from Class One, Grade Two, went to Sunshine Nursing Home and did some voluntary work. Upon their arrival, Li Yue and Zhang Hua were warmly welcomed, and respectfully, they presented the elderly with flower and fruits. Then, they started working at once, cleaning the windows and sweeping the floor. Everything done, they sat in the yard chatting with the elderly people.

When it was time for the volunteers to leave, the elderly people thanked them for their kindness. They said it was such a beautiful day that they would remember it forever.

Li Yue and Zhang Hua were very happy. What they did has brought joy to others and enriched their own lives.
