Suzhou classical gardens are parts of China's precious cultural heritage (遗产) (all the9 gardens are on the list of World Cultural Heritage) as well as a necessary part of the life of Suzhou citizens, not to mention they are also world-famous tourism resorts (胜地). In fact, their unique historical and cultural background serves to contribute to their ranking among national parks.The earliest classical gardens in Suzhou can date back to the Song Dynasty. However, the gardens impress their visitors not only with their age-old history but also with their delicate scenes, particularly Canglang Pavilion, Zhuozheng Garden, Lion Grove and Liu Garden, the most famous four that represent different styles of dynasties of Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing.In 1978, an imitation(仿造物)of a Suzhou classical garden was set up by Chen Congzhou (the author of the book Suzhou Classical Gardens) in the City Museum of Art in New York, US, which was the first time ever to directly introduce Chinese ancient architecture to Westerners.9.________parks and gardens are selected as National Parks in the first group.A.9 B.8C.20 D.410.Which of the followingstatements about Suzhouclassical gardens is NOT true?A.They are parts ofChina's precious culturalheritage.B.They are world-famoustourism resorts.C.They are a necessarypart of the life of Suzhoucitizens.D.They came into beingat the same time.11.Which of the followingcan best explain the meaningof the underlined word "delicate"?A.astonishing B.delicious C.beautiful D.impres 12.The first imitation of aSuzhou classical garden wasset up in ________.A.London B.New Y C.Paris D.TokyoOn November 14, 1902,President Theodore Rooseveltwas on a hunting trip inMississippi while trying tosettle a line(边界) problembetween Mississippi and Louisiana. Being an expert outdoorsman, he liked to huntlarge animals.However, his hunt wasgoing poorly that days, and hecouldn’t seem to findanything worthy of firing hisgun. His followers, trying to help him, caught a Louisiana black baby bear for the President to shoot, but he refused. The thought of shooting a bear that was tied to a tree did not seem sporting, so he spared the life of the baby bear and set it free.A famous political cartoonist for the Washington Star, Mr. Clifford Berryman, drew a cartoon titled, Drawing the Line in Mississippi, which used the story of the President refusing to shoot the bear.The cartoon in the Washington Star showed Teddy Roosevelt, gun in hand, with his back turned on a pretty baby bear. Morris Michtom, owner of a Brooklyn toy store, got the idea from the cartoon and make a toy bear. Planning to use it only as a display, he placed the bear in his toy store window, and next to it placed a copy of the cartoon from the newspaper. To Michtom's surprise, he was surrounded by customers eager to buy it. He asked for and received President Roosevelt's permission to use his name for the bears that he and his wife made, and the Teddy Bear was born! Michtom soon made Teddybears by the thousands. The money from selling Teddy bears made him, in 1903, form the Ideal Toy Company.13.Why did Theodore Roosevelt cometoMississippi?A .To go on a hunting trip.B .To look for large animals.C .To do some outdoor games.D .To deal with a line problem. 14.Why did Theodore Roosevelt refuse to shoot that baby bear?A .He was caring.B .He loved animals.C .He was not hunting.D .It was too young. 15.What can we learn about Morris Michtom from the passage?A .He was a far-sighted businessman.B .He liked drawing cartoons of bears.C .He became President Roosevelt’s friend.D .He didn’t expect Teddy Bear to be popular.16.Who named the toybear “Teddy Bear”?A .Morris Michtom.B .TeddyC .Mr. Clifford Berryman.D .MichtoOne of the biggest socialissues in Japanistheincreasingly low marriage rateamong young people and the small birth rate, which led to anagingandeventuallyshrinking (萎缩) population.Most young Japanese women simply don’t seem interested in having many children.Now what began in Japan is happening globally. As David Brooks wrote, birth rate is becoming smaller in much of the world, from Iran — 1.7 births rate per woman —to Russian, where low birth rates connected with high death rates mean the population is already shrinking. And this includes US, which has long had higher birth rates than most developed nations. Aging countries will face the burden of caring for large elderly populations without a larger resource of young workers.It’s true that global aging is going to present some major challenges. Who will take care of the elderly? Will an older world be less active and slower to change and adapt? It’s all true. Sometimes I worry about a coming generational war over resources, just as I worry about how I will take care of my own parents in their old age, just as I worry about who might take care of me.But he re’s the thing: an older world may have less pressure on the environment. As we all know, theenvironment is the real victim of overpopulation.So maybe a world that grows slower and grows older will put less pressure on the environment, and buy us a few more years to ensure our energy use, along with our birthrates, reaches a sustainable(可持续的)level. After all, we’re supposed to get smarter as we got older. Hopefully that holds true for the planet as well.17.The population issue in Japan was mentioned to ________.A.show young people’s preference to marriageB.introduce the topic of global birth rate becoming smallerC.indicate the deeper cause of Japan’s depression D.emphasize the revolution of Japanese women 18.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to David Brook?A.The birth rates all over the world are becoming smaller.B.The most developed countries have higher death rates.C.America is the only developed country with higher birth rate.D .Birth rate’s becoming smaller means a great risk to aging countries.19.Which will be caused by low birth rates according to the passage?A .Aging society.B .Environmental problems.C .High death rates.D .Low employment rates. 20.What’s the author’s attitude to the worldwide birth rates becoming smaller?A .Anxious.B .Disappointed.C .Hopeful.D .Doubtful. 二、七选五Are you having trouble concentrating when you’re reading a book or listening to a lecture?
