Each passage is followed by five questions.For each question there are four suggested answers marked A,B,C and D.Choose one best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage OneEvery summer in Australia there is the danger of bush fires .Long periods of hot dry weather cause the grass and trees to become highly inflammable .In addition to the dryness and high temperature,another important factor is the great amount of oil in the leaves of such trees as eucalyptus,gum and ti trees.Fires start very easily ,often spontaneously(自动地,自发地),but usually because of a carelessly thrown cigarette or match,If there is a high wind,the ample supply of air fans the flames into an inferno .The radiant heat vaporizes the oil in the leaves,and the fire travels very quickly,sometimes overtakes fleeing cars and burns passengers to death.Great fires often occur around Christmas,in areas near big cities,causing great loss of life and property.36. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a factor that contributes to great fire danger?A. sultry weatherB. Cigarettes thrown out of car windowsC. Pine forestsD. Windstorm37. According to the passage ,fires erupt when .A. arsonists set matches to leavesB. crude oil contacts inflammable objectsC. tourists throw cigarette ends onto refuse dumpsD. trees start burning of themselves38. Bush fires travel .A. in small wayB. in disorderC. seriouslyD. swiftly39. “Inferno”in the context means“”.A. hellB. place of great heat and fireC. furnace for smelting ironD. fireballPassage TwoIn the water around New York City there is a very small island called liberty Island .On Liberty Island there is a special statue 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 sculptor 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 anniversary of U.S.independence 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.40. A good title for this selection is .A. Famous Sights in the WorldB. Liberty IslandC. The Statue of LibertyD. A Gift from France41. The world“sights”in the first paragraph means .A. a small presentB. a kind of postcardC. the power of seeingD. something that you can see42. The statue was built in .A. FranceB. the United StatesC. EnglandD. Liberty Island43. We may conclude that the elevator does not .A. go to the topB. go fast enoughC. cost a lot of moneyD. both B and CPassage ThreeMany strange new means of transport have been developed in our century,the strangest of them being perhaps the hovercraft.In 1953,a former electronics engineer in his fifties,Christopher Cockerell,who had turned to boat-building on the Norfolk Broads,suggested an idea on which he had been working for many years to the British government and industrial circles.It was the idea of supporting a craft on a “pad”,or cushion, of low-pressure air,ringed with a curtain of higher pressure air ,Eversince ,people have had difficulty in deciding whether the craft should be ranged among ships ,planes ,or land vehicles_for it is something in between a boat and an aircraft .As a ship builder,Cockerell was trying to find a solution to the problem of the wave resistance which wastes a good deal of a surface‟s power and limits its speed.His answer was to lift the vessel out of the water by making it ride on a cushion of air ,no more than one or two feet thick.This is done by a great number of ringshaped air jets on the bottom of the craft.It“flies”,therefore,but it cannot fly higher_its action depends on the surface,water or ground,over which it rides.44. Which of the following statements is true?A. The engineer had worked out the idea for many years.B. The engineer had been working on the idea for many years.C. The engineer suggested the idea to the British government and industrial circles for many years.D. The British government and industrial circles accepted the idea many years later.45. The engineer‟s suggestion is that he build a craft.A. with support of a pad under itB. with support of a curtain round itC. with support of a pad of airD. with support of a cushion of air made by jet engines46. The word “hovercraft”in line two means.A. a craft which can move over land of waterB. a craft which can fly a short distanceC. a craft which can fly a long distanceD. a craft which can fly in circles47. We may conclude from reading the passage that .A. a hovercraft can not fly high because of the surrounding high-pressure airB. a hovercraft is as much in use as a planeC. a hovercraft“flies”with a greater speed than shipsD. a hovercraft also has the problem of wave resistancePassage FourIt is animals and plants which lived in or near water whose remains are most likely to be preserved ,for one of the necessary conditions of preservation is quick burial ,and it is only in the seas and rivers,and sometimes lakes,where mud and silt have been continually deposited,that bodies and the like can be rapidly covered over and preserved.But even in the most favorable circumstances only a small fraction of the creatures that die are preserved in this way before decay sets in or ,even more likely,before scavengers eat them.After all, all living creatures live by feeding on something else,whether it be plant or animal,dead or alive ,and it is only by chance that such a fate is avoided .The remains of plants and aninmals that lived on land are much more rarely preserved ,for there is seldom anything to cover them over.When you think of the innumerable birds that one sees flying about,not to mention the equally numerous small animals like field mice and voles which you do not see,it is very rarely that one comes across a dead body,except,of course ,on the roads,They decompose and are quickly destroyed by the weather or eaten by some other creatures.48. Quick burial leads to the preservation of .A. a large number of remainsB. a number of remainsC. only a small number of remainsD. few remains49. Which of the following is not true?A. All living creatures die in order to be eaten by others.B. All living creatures can be the food of others.C. All living creatures decay.D. Only a small number of living creatures can avoid being eaten by other.50. Most remains of animals and plants on land can not survive because of .A. bad weatherB. sun-rayC. floodsD. decay51. The best title for this passage is .A. The Origin of Life on EarthB. Life Forms on EarthC. The Discovery of Life on EarthD. The Preservation of the Past Life on EarthPassage Five1970 was World Conservation Year.The United Nations wanted everyone to know that the world is in danger .They hoped that governments would act quickly in order to “conserve”nature.Here is one example of the problem.At one time there were 1,300 different plants,trees and flowers in Holland.But now only 866 remain.The others have been destroyed by modern man and his technology.We are changing the earth ,the air and water,and everthing that grows and lives.We can‟t live without these thing either .If we continue like this,we shall destroy ourselves.What will happen in the future?Pe rhaps it is more important to ask“what must we do now?”The people who will be living in the world of tomorrow are the young of today .A lot of them know that conservation is necessary . Many are helping to save our world .They plant trees,build bridges across rivers in forests,and so on .In a small town in the United States a large group of girls cleaned the banks of 11 kilometres of their river.Young people may hear conservation through a record called“No One‟s Going to Change Our World”.It was made by the Beetles, Cliff Richard and other singers.The money from it will help to conserve wild animals.52. The main idea of the first paragraph is .A. the danger of our worldB.the importance of conservationC. that we‟re destroying ourselvesD. that we are changing our world53. We shall destroy ourselves if we don‟t change.A. governmentsB. modern technologyC. our rivers and forestsD. the United Nations54. “No One’s Gong to Change Our World”was.A. a record calling on people to conserve natureB. a rule worked out by the United NationsC. an important book published in 1970D. an idea that nobody would accept55.

She was quite right, as Harry soon discovered. There was no sailing on May 22nd. How ever had he made such a big mistake?

And I can swim too!”“ That’s fine,” said Harry. “ My little girl can’t swim a bit yet. Of course, she’s only three-----”“ I’m four,” the child said proudly. “ I’ll soon be four and a half.”Harry turned to the moth er. “ I remember your ticket, madam,” he said. “ But you didn’t get one for your daughter, did you?”“ Er, well-----” The woman looked at the child. “ I mean-----she hasn’t started school yet. She’s only four.”“ A four year old child must have a ticket, madam. A child’sreturn to Jersey costs----let me see----£13.50.

My friend was w aiting for me when my plane landed at Kennedy Airport at three o’clock in the afternoon. The weather was very cold and it was snowing, but I was too excited to mind. From the airport, my friend and I took a taxi to my hotel. On the way, I saw the skyline of Manhattan for the first time and I stared in astonishment at the famous skyscrapers and their man-made beauty. My friend helped me unpack at the hotel and them left me because he had to go back to work. He promised to return the next day.Shortly after my friend had left, I went to a restaurant near the hotel to get something to eat. Because I couldn’t speak a word of English, I couldn’t tell the waiter what I wanted. I was very upset and started to make some gestures, but the waiter didn’t understand me. Finally, I ordered the same thing the man at the next table was eating. After dinner, I started to walk along Broadway until I came to Times Square with its movie theatres, neon lights, and huge crowds of people. I did not feel tired, so I continued to walk around the city. I wanted to see everything on my first day. I knew it was impossible, but I wanted to try.When I returned to the hotel, I was exhausted, but I couldn’t sleep because I kept hearing the fire and police sirens during the night. I lay awake and thought about New York. It was a very big and interesting city with many tall buildings and big cars, and full of noise and busy people. I also decided right then that I had to learn to speak English.6.

Mother‘s (rather than father‘s) own educational achievements have long been thought to be the key to children‘s progress at school. But government-funded research suggests that mothers can compensate for their lack of exam success if they offer their under-fives activities linked to literacy and numeracy.Researchers from Oxford, Cardiff and London universities, who measured the attainments of65316426.doc 2more than 2,000 children at the ages of three and five, found that their mothers‘education is important in accounting for differences between children. But what the mother did with the child was even more important. Those who talked frequently to their children, who played games with numbers and letters, read to them, took them to the library and taught them songs and nursery rhymes had a significant effect on their attainment both at the ages of three and five. Professor Pam Sammons of London University‘s Institute of Education, said, ―Children‘s progress is not completely determined by social disadvantages. What parents do with children is critically important. Parents who have no educational qualifications can still do many things to help their children. We need to encourage parents, particularly younger ones, to play with children and to talk to them.Sammons said the findings emphasized the importance of policies for supporting families of under-threes, for example, the government‘s Sure Start program. MPs on the Select Committee for Education are investigating early years education. Ministers have provided a nursery, playgroup or school place for every four-year-old, but critics say that too many children are now in school reception classes, which are not equipped for them. There are more staff workers for each child in nurseries than in reception classes. The researchers, comparing children‘s achievements in math and literacy, found that playgroups and private day nurseries tended to do much less well than nursery schools, which combined education, day care and reception classes.This research is consistent with previous studies that show the benefit of mother play in other areas such as in a child‘s creativity and social development using other devices such as music and toys. Music helps children connect the outer world of movement and sound with the inner world of feelings and observations. Children learn music the same way they learn language – by listening and imitating. Finger play promotes language development, motor skills and coordination, as well as self-esteem. Young children are proud when they sing a song and can do the accompanying finger movements. Listening to music also teaches important pre-reading skills. As youngsters use small drums or other percussion instruments (homemade or store-bought), they can play the rhythmic pattern of words.Babies become social beings through watching their parents, and through interacting with them and the rest of the family and later with others. It is a crucial time to begin teaching by example how people should behave toward one another. Toys that help babies with social development are stuffed animals, animal mobiles and dolls. Even very small babies can socialize with them. The infant will often converse with animal prancing on the crib bumpers or revolving on a mobile. Later, books and opportunities for make-believe and dress-up play also help children to develop social skills.In the beginning, babies‘ hand movements are totally random. But within a few months those tiny hands will move with more purpose and control. A mother has a particularly important role in the development of purposeful movement by giving her baby‘s hands plenty freedom; rather than keeping them swaddled or tucked under a blanket (except outdoor in cold weather). Researchers suggest providing a variety of objects that are easy for small hands to pick up and manipulate, and that don‘t require fine dexterity. And since young babies usually won‘t grasp objects that are directly in front of them, a mother should offer these objects from the side.Researchers suggest that mother give babies ample opportunity for ―hands-on‖ experience with the following:Rattles that fit small hands comfortably. Those with two handles or grasping surfaces allow a baby to pass them from hand to hand, an important skill, and those that baby can put their mouth on will help bring relief when teething begins.65316426.doc 3They also suggest mothers use cradle gyms (they fit across a carriage, playpen or crib) that have a variety of parts for baby to grab hold of, spin, pull and poke. Beware of those, however, with strings more than six inches long, and take any gym down once your baby is able to sit up.Another useful play device is an activity board that requires a wide range of hand movements to operate, many of which your baby won‘t be able to intentionally maneuver for a while, but some of which even a young infant can set in motion accidentally with a swipe of a hand or foot. Besides the spinning, dialing, pushing, and pressing skills these toys encourage, they also teach the concept of cause and effect.1.Mothers, either well-educated or badly-educated, can help their young children succeedacademically.2.Young babies at all ages benefit from mothers who talk and play games with them.3.Even if a mother has no educational qualifications, she should play and talk with her child.4.There is no shortage of nurseries, playgroup or school places.5.Listening to music can teach children important pre-reading skills.6.Babies can move their tiny hands within a few months after they are born.7.If you give an object to a baby you‘d better not offer it from the side of the baby.1.〔Y〕〔N〕〔NG〕2.〔Y〕〔N〕〔NG〕3. 〔Y〕〔N〕〔NG〕4.〔Y〕〔N〕〔NG〕5.〔Y〕〔N〕〔NG〕6. 〔Y〕〔N〕〔NG〕7.〔Y〕〔N〕〔NG〕8.

You are required to select one word for each blank from a list of choices given in a word bank following the passage. Readthe passage through carefully before making your choices. Each choice in the bank isidentified by a letter. You may not use any of the words in the bank more than once.Questions 47 to 56 are based on the following passage.A new study says walking is just as (47) as more difficult exercise in reducing the risk of heart disease in women. It suggests that even (48) amounts of exercise can be good for women‘s health. Federal researchers in the United States (49) the study. The research is part of the federal government‘s Women‘s Health Initiative. Researchers are studying many health questions important to older women.The researchers (50) almost 74,000 women during a six-year period. The women were between the ages of 50 and 79. They answered questions about their activity (51) . The researchers divided the women into five groups, from the (52) activity to the most activity.The study found that fast walking for about two-and-one-half hours a week cut the risk of heart disease (53) one-third. This good effect was about the same in women who spent an (54) amount of time doing more difficult exercise. The good effects (55) as the women spent more time and energy taking part in such exercises.The study also found that sitting in a chair for at least sixteen hours each day could increase the risk of heart disease (56) a person exercised or not. The results were published in the New England Journal of Medicine.Section BDirections: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D).You should decide on the best choic.Passage OneQuestions 57 to 61 are based on the following passage.The human brain has two sides, and each side has different work to do.The left side of the brain controls language and number; it analyses and reasons. The right side65316426.doc 8controls our imagination; it controls our appreciation of music and our sense of rhythm. It is the right side of our brain which daydreams.Great artists and great scientists are similar. They both use the two sides of their brains. It is well-known that Albert Einstein (1879 –1955), as a great scientist, also enjoyed art, playing the violin and sailing. Einstein said his scientific discoveries grew from his imagination rather than from analysis, reason and language. He said that written and spoken words were not important in his thinking. The story goes that Einstein was daydreaming one summer‘s day while sitting on a hill. He imagined he was riding on sunbeams to the far distance of the universe. Then he found that he had returned to the sun. So he realized that the universe must curve. He got this idea by using his imagination. He then used the left side of brain to apply analysis, number and reason. And finally he used language to explain it.Traditional, established education in schools encourages us to use the left side of our brains. Language, number, analysis and reason are given more importance in our schools than imagination and daydreaming. However, we are encouraged to hop when we have two perfectly good legs! Then why don‘t we give more value to visual thinking?In fact, we all need both sides of our brains. We need to use our imaginations to think of solutions to problems and to enjoy emotional and artistic experiences. And we need to be logical and to be able to analyze and organize in order to survive day by day.57. According to the passage, the left side of the brain ________.A) controls language and numberB) controls our imaginationC) daydreamsD) controls our sense of rhythm58. What does the author want to show by using the example of Einstein?A) Great scientists are also great artists.B) The left side of Einstein‘s brain is very powerful.C) Einstein is a genius whose two sides of the brain are strong.D) The two sides of the brain are equally important.59. What do we learn about Einstein from the passage?A) He could play the violin well.B) He said his scientific discoveries are acquired by analysis rather than by daydreaming.C) He was the first person to discover the track of the sun.D) He was disgusted at language.60. What does the author mean by saying ―we are encouraged to hop when we have two perfectlygood legs‖ (Para. 4) ?A)We needn‘t hop because we are healthy.B)Only those who have something wrong in their legs can be encouraged to hop.C)It‘s foolish of us to hop when we have two perfectly good legs.D)We should use both sides of the brain.61. The author believes that the right side of our brain is as important as the left side because65316426.doc 9________.A) it controls our appreciation of music and sense of rhythmB) it enables us to make scientific discoveriesC) it is more important to analyze and organize in order to surviveD) the imaginations may provide solutions to problems and enable us to enjoy emotional andartistic experiencesPassage TwoQuestion 62 to 66 are based on the following passage.Elderly people respond best to a calm and unhurried environment. This is not always easy to provide as their behavior can sometimes be irritating. If they get excited or upset then they may become more difficult to look after. Although sometimes it can be extremely difficult, it is best to be patient and not to get upset yourself. You should always encourage old people to do as much as possible for themselves but be ready to lend a helping hand when necessary.Failing memory makes it difficult for the person to recall all the basic kinds of information we take for granted. The obvious way to help in this situation is to supply the information that is missing and help them make sense of what is going on. You must use every opportunity to provide information but remember to keep it simple and straightforward.―Good morning, Mum. This is Fiona, your daughter. It is eight o‘clock, so if you get up now, we can have breakfast downstairs.‖When the elderly person makes confused statements e.g. about going out to his or her old employment or visiting a dead relative, correct in a calm matter-of-fact fashion: ―You don‘t work in the office any more. You are retired now. Will you come and help me with the dishes?‖We rely heavily on the information provided by signposts, clocks, calendars and newspapers. These assist us to organize and direct our behavior. Confused old people need these aids all the time to compensate for their poor memory. Encourage them to use reminder boards or diaries for important coming events and label the contents of different cupboards and drawers. Many other aids such as information cards, old photos, scrap books, and addresses or shopping list could help in individual case.62. Why can‘t we always keep calm in front of old people?A)Because old people sometimes annoy us.B)Because old people sometimes don‘t understand us.C)Because we are sometimes in a bad mood.D)Because we are sometimes in a hurry.63. What happens to elderly people‘s memory according to the passage?A)Their memory becomes worse and recalls basic things as granted.B)Their memory becomes worse and can‘t remember basic things.C)They can‘t remember their failures.D)They can only remember past failures.64. Paragraph 3 gives an example illustrating ________.65316426.doc10A)how to provide simple, direct informationB) a daughter‘s care for her motherC) a daughter‘s duty to her motherD)the right procedure of helping the old65. Why are old people encouraged to use diaries?A)Because diaries can replace reminder boarders.B)Because diaries are the best way to record important events.C)Because diaries help make up for poor memory.D)Because diaries can label the contents of cupboards.66. What is the main idea of the passage?A)What happens to old people with failing memory.B)How to help old people with failing memory.C)Why old people have poor memory.D)How to improve bad memory.Part V Cloze (15 minutes)Directions:There are 20 blanks in the following passage.

In fact, the Internet is becoming a dominant element in modern life.The advantages of the Internet are very prominent. First, it can transmit information with surprising speed, and thus distances have been shortened. Second, with the Internet, life has become clearer. On-line chatting and various kinds of news give us access to knowledge from every corner of the world. Third, the Internet has completely changed people‘s mode of living. For example, on-line shopping, both convenient and cheap, is becoming more and more popular.However, the Internet has also brought some problems. First, its surprising speed can promote the spread of viruses as well. And virtual space has also provided opportunities for criminal activities. Third, many young people spend time on the Internet which should be devoted to homework.Overall, just as a coin has two sides, the Internet has both good and bad influences.

Passage 1Man is a land animal, but he is also closely tied to the sea. Throughout history the sea has served the needs of man. The sea has provided man with food and a convenient way to travel to many parts of the world. Toady, experts believe that nearly two-thirds of the world’s populati on live within eighty kilometers of the seacoast.In the modern technological world the sea offers many resources to help mankind survive. Resources on land are beginning to grow less. The sea, however, still offers hope to supply many of man’s needs in the future.The riches of the sea yet to be developed by man’s technology are impressive. Oil and gasexplorations have existed for nearly thirty years. Valuable amounts of minerals such as iron, copper and so on exist on the ocean floor.Besides oil and gas, the sea may offer new sources of energy. For example, warm temperature of the ocean can be used as the steam in a steamship. Sea may also offer a source of energy as electricity for mankind.Technology is enabling man to explore even deeper under the sea. It is obvious that the technology to harvest the sea continues to improve. By the 2050, experts believe that the problems to explore the food, minerals and energy resources of the sea will have been largely solved.6. What is the beat title for the passage?A. Needs of Man.B. Sea Harvest and FoodC. Sea and Sources of EnergyD. Sea Exploring Technology.7. It can be inferred from the passage that _____.A. man hasn’t completely made use of the riches of the seaB. technology for exploring the sea has been solvedC. harvesting rice in the sea will be made possibleD. in the near future man can live on the ocean floor8. Why does the author mention a steamship?A. To illustrate that man can make use of sources of energy from the sea.B. To show that a steamship is better than other kinds of ships.C. To argue that man should use steamships.D. To indicate that it is warmer in the ocean than on land.9. According to the author, technology is important because _____.A. resources on land are running short in ten yearsB. man can use it to explore the deeper seaC. it is a lot of fun diving into the seaD. ancient people used it to explore the sea10. According to the author, when will the problems to explore the deeper sea largely be solved?A. In the next generation.B. By the end of the 20th century.C. In the near future.D.By the middle of the 21st century.Passage 2There are many factors which may have an influence on adults and children being able to lead a healthy life.Nowadays, people are very busy. Often, both parents work outside the home. Children are expected to take on more responsibility at home to help their parents. They also have sporting and leisure activities as well as school expectations.The busyness also adds another factor: the need to use cars to get from one place to another quickly.Today, society places a lot of emphasis on technology. Computers, DVDs. CDs, television, PlayStations and Xboxes have become major leisure activities, rather than traditional more active pursuits. This has led to a more sedentary lifestyle.The media provide entertainment and information. Unfortunately, they also promote fast food which fits easily into busy lifestyles. It is much more convenient at times to buy a quick takeaway rather than prepare a meal. The media constantly bombard(轰炸) their audience with ‘perfect’ body images, the need to buy the most fashionable clothes, the most up-to-date computer games, the best places to visit and the best things to do.Environments vary. We may be exposed to pollution, such as cigarette smoke. This can be harmful to people who suffer from breathing difficulties. Environments where passive smoking is unavoidable make it difficult to lead a healthy life.It is important for everyone to be accepted and cared about by family and friends. Both of these groups can influence people--positively and negatively.Negatively feelings can lead people to adopt an unhealthy lifestyle.Perhaps the most important factor influencing healthy lifestyles is motivation. Or the desire to be healthy. Any person who wants to be healthy will find a way to be healthy —if he/she is motivated enough!11. The passage is mainly about _____.A. benefits of a healthy life styleB. demands of daily lifeC. factors affecting a healthy lifestyleD. a positive approach to healthy living12. The word “sedentary” in Paragraph 4 probable means _____.A. having a lot of things to doB. involving little exercise or physical activityC. being isolated from the outside worldD. experiencing a lot of stress13. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage as a factor leading to the popularity of fast food?A. Cheap price.B. The media.C. Busy lifestyle.D. Convenience14. Which is NOT listed as a factor influencing the ability to have a healthy lifestyle?A. Pollution.B. Economic factors.C. Dependence upon cars.D. Influence of family or friends.15. According to the author, ____may be the most important factor influencing healthy lifestyles.A. technologyB. cultural backgroundC. environmentD. the desire to be healthyPassage 3In the water around New York city is a very small island called Liberty Island. On Liberty Island there is a very special statue 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 sculptor 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 anniversary of U.S independence from England. The statue was built inFrance, 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, they can then walk up 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.16、A good title for this selection is ______.A. Famous Sights in the worldB. Liberty IslandC. The Statue of LibertyD. A city in France17、The word "sights" in the first paragraph means ______.A. a small present or giftB. a kind of postcardC. the power of seeingD. something that you can see18、The statue was built ______.A. in FranceB. in the United StatesC. in EnglandD. on Liberty Island19、We may conclude that the elevator does not ______.A. go fast enoughB. cost lots of moneyC. go to the topD. both A and B20、The man who made the part of the statue that we can see on the outside was ______.A. an unknown architectB. BartholdiC. EiffelD. both B and C第三部分:词汇与结构(共10小题;每小题2分,满分20分)此部分共有20个未完成的句子,针对每个句子中未完成的部分有4个选项,请从A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项,并用铅笔将答题卡上的相应字母涂黑。
