14． A． holding on to C． living up to B． going back to D． giving way to
分析：上文境。系上文的“It ends abruptly at 3,000 meters ”可知，雨林在 3 000

C． save D． acquire
分析：下文语境题。联系下文的“I found the opposite to be true.”可知，作者在这里进行反问：乞力马扎罗山真的应当获取(deserve)游人如织，损坏了其平易情景的拥堵山脉这一名望
吗？
Ⅳ .阅读理解
The Louvre, in Paris, France, has almost 275,000 works of art.It contains some of the most famous works of art in the history of the world, including the Mona Lisa by Leonardo da Vinci.
The Louvre was originally a fort (a strong building used by soldiers for defending a place) built by King PhilipⅡ sometime around AD 1200.In the 1300s, it became a royal house for Charles V, who had it renovated (翻新 )． While he did have his own collection of art there, everything disappeared when he died.
This impressive building remained empty until 1527, when Francois Ⅰ decided that he wanted it for his private palace.FrancoisⅠ was a collector of early Italian Renaissance art at the time, and already owned the Mona Lisa .However, he would not move into the Louvre until it was completely renovated and made even more splendid than it had been during the rule of Charles V.
Unfortunately, FrancoisⅠ died before the work was completed, but the work continued until
the death of the head architect.Afterwards, several generations of French royalty lived in the palace until LouisⅩⅣ，the last of the French rulers to call the Louvre home, left in 1682.The Louvre, however, was far from abandoned.For about 30 years after Louis XⅣ 's death in 1715, the Louvre became the home of artists and scholars.Its art collection grew from about 200 paintings in 1643
to about 2,500 works of art in 1715.
It was a center of creativity, until the public began to be admitted in 1793.Throughout the French Revolution and the years ruled by Napoleon Ⅰ， the art collection in the Louvre grew greatly.
Napoleon robbed art from all over the world and added it to the Louvre's collection.After Napoleon's death in 1821, the original owners reclaimed ( 要求送还 ) much of the robbed
artwork.Over the last 100 years, art colleges have been set up at the Louvre, and it has become one of the largest museums in the world.
文章粗心：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了法国卢浮宫悠长而不平常的历史。
1． What do we learn about the Louvre ？D
A ． It became an art college in 1821.
B ． It was first constructed as a royal house.
C． It was abandoned in the fourteenth century.
D ． It became a meeting place for culture after 1715.
分析：细节理解题。由第四段中的“ For about 30 years after LouisⅪⅤ 's death in 1715, the Louvre became the home of artists and scholars. ”可知，在 1715 年以后，卢浮宫一度成为文艺
人士的集合地址。
2． According to the text, Francois I A .
A ． had never lived in the Louvre
B ． led a simple life during his life
C． lost all his collection on his death
D ． received all artwork from CharlesⅤ
分析：推理判断题。由第三段中的“ However, he would not...the rule of CharlesⅤ.”和第四段中的“Unfortunately, Francois I died...the head architect.”可知，法兰西斯一世没有在卢浮宫
里住过。
3． When was the Louvre open to the public？D
A ． In 1643. C． In 1715.
B ． In 1682. D． In 1793.
分析：细节理解题。由第五段中的“It was a center of creativity, until the public began to be admitted in 1793. ”可知，从1793 年开始，卢浮宫开始对民众开放。
4． Who brought the huge increase in the amount of artwork in the Louvre？C
A ． Charles Ⅴ. C． Napoleon I.B． Francois I. D． Louis ⅩⅣ .
分析：细节理解题。由第五段中的“Throughout the French Revolution and the years ruled by Napoleon I, the art collection in the Louvre grew greatly.”可知，拿破仑一世让卢浮宫的藏品数目
巨幅增加。
Ⅴ.七选五
依据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最正确选项。选项中有两项为剩余
项。
Some people describe American society as a salad bowl while others think of it as a melting pot.
In a bowl of salad, all the ingredients are mixed together. 1.B Together, however, the ingredients make up a unity.All the ingredients of a salad contribute to the finished product.They may be covered with the same dressing ( 调味酱 ), but the green vegetables, tomatoes and cooked
corn can all be seen for what they are.
From this point of view, America is very much like a salad bowl where individual ethnic groups mix together, yet maintain their cultural uniqueness.People may work together during the
day at similar jobs and in the same companies, but at night they may return to their ethnic groups
where their own individual culture directs their way of life. 2.C Each ethnic group has its own special customs, language, food and traditions to protect and defend.This idea of the salad bowl is referred to as cultural diversity ； that is, American society is a collection of various cultures living together in harmony within one country.
3.G Here, society is like one large pot of soup.All cultural aspects are mixed together，sacrificing their original identity and keeping a bit of what they were to become a new reality.The
longer the soup is cooked, the better the taste and the more likely it will be for the mixture to dissolve.In this sense, America can surely be seen as a melting pot where people from all over the world come to live and work together forming one nation.There are dozens of shared symbols. 4.F In such a culture, symbols like the flag and the nation's official song serve to break down the walls which separate ethnic groups.
Whether a salad bowl or a melting pot, America can be best described as a mixture of both.
5.D
A ． Both are correct depending on one's point of view.
B ． They never lose their shapes, colors or tastes.
C． This is why there is so much diversity within America.
D ． In other words, America is a nation where there is unity in diversity.
E． Thus, one needs to abandon one's culture to be considered “ American．”
F． They serve to develop the various ethnic groups to create a new American culture.
G． The other theory, which is also used to describe American society, is the melting pot.
文章粗心：有的人把美国社会描绘为“ 沙拉碗” ，有的人以为它是“ 大熔炉” 。实质上，美国的特色并不是非此即彼，而是在差别中存在一致。
分析：
1．依据设空处前方的 a bowl of salad 及本段最后一句，剖析各个选项可知，只有 B 项“它
们素来不会失掉它们的形状、颜色和滋味。”描绘的与沙拉相关。They 指代前句中的all the ingredients( 全部的资料 )。应选 B 项。
2．依据剖析，本段持续描绘美国像“沙拉碗”，前后为因果关系：“ 多个民族” 交融，
可是“保持着各自的独到性” ，使得人们白日可能从事相像的工作，可是下班后沿用各自民族的生活方式，这就是美国“多样性”的原由。应选 C 项。
3．文章第一段提出“ 沙拉碗” 和“ 大熔炉” 两个理论。第二、三两段详尽描绘了“ 沙拉碗”理论。设空处位于第四段段首，再依据本段中的one large pot 及 a melting pot 可知选 G
项，引出下文对第二个理论的描绘。
4．本段最后三句环绕shared symbols( 共享的符号 )睁开：有很多“共享的符号”，因此
“ 它们” 有助于不一样的民族发展以便创建一个新的美国文化，而在这样的文化中，美国国旗
和国歌这些符号有助于打破种族分裂的藩篱。 F 项中 They 指代前句中的shared symbols 。故
选 F项。
5．本段两句话总结全文：“ 美国将‘沙拉碗’和‘ 大熔炉’ 两大特色交融在一同。‘ 换句话说’，美国是一个‘多样性中存在一致’ 的国家” 。D项中unity in diversity是第一句中a mixture of both 的另一种说法。应选 D 项。

阅读经典可以使人提高素养，增长才智。但是，只有掌握了一定的阅读技巧，阅读经典才是快乐之旅。 How to start reading classic literature The written word is one of the most powerful forms of expression. Classic literature written many years ago still has the power to educate and inspire people. Many people find it difficult to read the classics. In fact，reading the classics can be a pleasurable experience especially as you mature and develop a deeper understanding of the world. ★Read for enjoyment. Classic literature should be read for enjoyment as well as education. Look for the works by authors you're familiar with through movies or TV. Choose the type of classic literature that you enjoy reading from past experience. ★Keep a dictionary on hand. Use the Oxford English Dictionary as a reference for unfamiliar words or to define words that have changed in meaning over time. Start slowly and work on reading 30 minutes a day to get into the habit. ★Get to read its biographical information. This is because it relates to the setting of the story and author. To have a better understanding of the story，find out more about the time period in which a work was created and the background of its author. ★Do research on the Internet. Large numbers of websites，like Bibliomania，provide information for the study and exploration of classic literature. ★Understand story structure. Classic literature often contains complex plots and extensive character development. Focus on reading for the overall theme or the meaning of the story，and take notes to recognize the basic elements of the story. ★Buy literature companions.Authoritative works such as the Oxford Companion to Classic Literature or the Norton Anthology of English Literature offer popular classic works of literature to get you started. ★Understand the use of footnotes in literature. Classic literature is often full of

Section_ⅠWarming Up & Reading —Prereading 1．What are the advantages and disadvantages of cloning? 2．Not only animals but also plants can be cloned. Do you know the difference between them? Please read the following passage to get the answer. A new study of plants that are reproduced by cloning has shown why cloned plants are not identical.

The team reported their findings in this week’s Current Biology. “Where these new mutations actually come from is still a mystery，” said Professor Harberd. “They may arise during the regeneration process itself or during the cell divisions in the donor plant that gave rise to the root cells from which the regenerate plants are created. We are planning further research to find out which of these two processes is responsible for these mutations. What we can say
