     Over the years, the devoted volunteers of Save-A-Landmark have helped to protect dozens of
interesting landmarks. They"ve kept the World"s Largest Rocking Chair, in Mississippi, from wearing out.
They"ve repaired the National Civil Rights Museum, in Memphis, Tennessee. They"ve even helped to
restore(整修) the Birthplace of the Ice Cream Sundae, in Two Rivers, Wisconsin.
     Now, ten years later, Save-A-Landmark is celebrating its 10th anniversary(周年纪念日) by saving
President Abraham Lincoln"s Cottage, in Washington, D.C. President Lincoln"s Cottage is the first
Save-A-Landmark site to be located(位于) in the nation"s capital. About 50 volunteers joined in the
event, which took place on September 16.
     One of those volunteers was actor Sam Waterston, of NBC"s Law& Order. Waterston has acted
Lincoln on stage and on screen. Even though he has become an expert on the nation"s 16th president,
Waterston says he still couldn"t believe how amazing Lincoln"s Cottage was.
     "This home is truly one of the better kept secrets about the man," Waterston told TFK. "He spent a
quarter of his presidency(1861-1865) here, and he worked on the Emancipation Proclamation here.
Even though it was like a summer home, he did a lot of important work here. It"s a great place for kids
to learn more about Lincoln"s life."
     Hampton Hotels created Save-A-Landmark in April 2000. Judy Christa-Cathey is a manager for the
hotel chain. She was especially excited about the Lincoln"s Cottage project. "I grew up in Illinois, the
Land of Lincoln," she says. In ten years, Save-A-Landmark has restored 54 sites in 45 states. Now
Landmark can add another Landmark to the list: the famous house of one of the country"s most popular
presidents.1. What do the three landmarks have in common in Paragraph1?A. They are important.

阅读理解     Given Australia"s size and the fact that early settlements were far apart, Australian society is
remarkably homogeneous (同种的). Its citizens are fundamentally prosperous and the way of life
in the major cities and towns is much the same however many miles divide them. It_takes_a_sharp
_ear_to_identify_regional_accents.
     However, there is some difference in lifestyle between city dwellers and the country people.
Almost 90 percent of the population lives in the fastpaced cities along the coast and has little more
than a passing familiarity with the desert. The major cities preserve pockets of colonial heritage, but
the overall impression is modern, with new buildings reflecting the country"s youth. In contrast, the
rural communities tend to be slowmoving and conservative. For many years, Australia was said to
have "ridden on the sheep"s back", a reference to wool being the country"s main moneyearner.
However, the wool industry is no longer dominant. Much of Australia"s relatively sound economy
is now achieved from natural coal and wheat, and by being the largest diamond producer in the
world. Newer industries such as tourism and wine making are also increasingly important. Australians
are generally friendly and relaxed, with a selfdeprecating sense of humour. On the whole, Australia is
a society without hierarchies (等级制度), an attitude generally held to stem from its prisoner
beginnings.
      Yet, contrary to widespread belief, very few Australians have true prisoner origins. Within only
one generation of the arrival of the First Fleet in 1788, Australia had become a nation of immigrants.
Originally coming almost entirely from the British Isles, today one in three Australians comes from
elsewhere. Australia"s liberal postwar immigration policies led to an influx of survivors from wartorn
Europe, most notably Greeks, Italians, Poles and Germans.
     The emphasis has shifted in recent years and today the majority of new immigrants are from
Southeast Asia. Today Australia is a "blend of nations" and although some racism exists, it has
generally been a successful experiment and the country is justifiably proud to have one of the most
harmonious multicultural communities in the world.

1. What does the writer mean by saying "It takes a sharp ear to identify regional accents." in the first
     paragraph?
A. Australians speak Standard English with no local accents whatsoever.
B. You have to practice a lot to learn to understand the different accents.
C. The Australian regional accents are very difficult to understand indeed.
D. There is not much difference between the accents in different areas of Australia.

2. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Most Australians have ancestors who were prisoners.
B. The Australian economy is dependent on sheep exports.
C. The majority of people living in Australia come from Europe.
D. The pace of life is different in the city and in the country.

3.The underlined pronoun "it" in the final paragraph refers to "________".
A. community
B. racism
C. blend of nations
D. Southeast Asia

4. We can infer from the passage that ________.
A. there are no signs of Australia"s colonial past in its modern cities
B. Australia"s recent immigration policy encourages immigrants from Southeast Asia
C. immigrants from Southeast Asia have brought racial problems
D. "riding on sheep"s back" resulted in slow development in rural communities

5. This passage mainly focuses on Australia"s ________.
A. society
B. economy
C. racial problems
D. history

阅读理解。     After successfully serving their term for 4 years, military service men and women are given the choice
to stay in the military or return to civilian life.
     For some, having to readjust to civilian life is one of the most challenging assignments our returning
soldiers and marines(水兵)will ever to undertake. While people may think readjusting should be simple,

worse over time. These individual may develop PTSD.

be severe enough and last long enough to significantly damage the person"s daily life.

people, especially outdoors) and have a very simple ceremony. It"s   12 ! Who would think the most

阅读理解。     Several years ago, the mayor of Chicago, Illinois, visited Germany, a leader in green roof design. Later he decided to have vegetation planted on Chicago City Hall. Today, the tops of many other buildings also
look like parks. In Canada, the Coast Plaza Hotel in Vancouver has a forest on its roof. New York City
has an unusual example farm for hydroponics. The farm is on a boat called the Science Barge. Rainwater
and river water are used to grow lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers and peppers. The farm shows the
possibilities for designing rooftop systems.
     Green roofs are designed to save energy and capture rainwater. Rooftops covered with plants help
keep buildings cool. They can extend the life of a roof. And they can reduce water running off into streets
and storming water systems.
     Experts say green roofs usually do not get much above 27℃. So temperatures might not be a problem for growing. But rooftop gardeners have to be careful not to put too much weight on the roof. This is true whether plants are grown in soil or water.
     Earlier in 2008, researchers in Texas reported that green roofs can reduce a building"s air conditioning
costs by about one fifth compared to blacktop roofs. But they also reported that not all green roofs
perform equally well. They found that designs differ in their ability to keep buildings cool and to capture
rainwater. The researchers put experimental roofs on top of metal insulated (隔热的) boxes, to recreate
green roof conditions. The study compared products from six companies to help businesses understand
how to improve their designs. Each rooftop had sixteen different kinds of plants native to Texas. The
researchers say the presence of native plants likely helped all the green roofs capture water better
compared to sedums. Sedums are plants that need little water and often are used on green roofs. The
native plants could take in more water and release more of it to the atmosphere.1. The author gave Paragraph 1 to _____.A. tell us what is green roof design
B. tell us Germany is the country that leads or guides the  green roof design
C. introduce some famous hotels in the world
D. lead to the topic of the passage 2. The advantages of green roofs are mentioned in the passage  EXCEPT _____.A. changing the local weather
B. prolonging the roof"s life
C. keeping the house cool
D. reducing the house"s air conditioning costs3. According to the passage, which conclusion is WRONG?A. Sometimes green roofs may break down the house.
B. Not all the green roofs can reduce the building"s air  conditioning costs equally.
C. Different designs of green roofs have different effects on buildings.
D. Sedums are a kind of plants native to Texas. 4. The experiment is mentioned in the last paragraph _____.A. to find out how many different plants in Texas
B. to show us how to design green roofs
C. to introduce a kind of roof made of metal
D. to provide proofs to improve the design of green roofs
