photographed bridge in the world-are visible from almost every point of elevation in San Francisco.
The only cleft (穿过) in Northern California"s 600-mile continental wall, for years this mile-wide strait was considered unbridgeable. As much an architectural as an engineering feat, the Golden Gate took only 52
months to design and build. Designed by Joseph Strauss, it was the first really massive(庞大的)suspension bridge, with a span of 4200ft, and until 1959 ranked as the world"s longest. It connects the city at its northwesterly point on the peninsula to Marin County and Northern California, and was designed to withstand(经受住)winds of up to a hundred miles an hour and to swing as much as 27ft. Handsome on a clear day, the bridge takes on an eerie(阴森森的) quality when the thick white fogs pour in and hide it almost
completely.
You can either drive or walk across. The drive is the more thrilling of the two options as you race under the bridge"s towers, but the half-hour walk across it really gives you time to take in its enormous size and
absorb the views of the city behind you and the headlands of Northern California straight ahead. Pause at
the midway point and consider the seven or so suicides(自***) a month who choose this spot, 260ft up, as their jumping-off spot. Monitors of such events speculate that victims always face the city before they leap. In 1995, when the suicide toll from the bridge had reached almost 1000, police kept the figures quiet to
avoid a rush of would-be suicides going for the dubious(令人怀疑的)distinction of being the thousandth
person to leap.
Perhaps the best loved symbol of San Francisco, in 1987 the Golden Gate proved an auspicious (幸运的)place for a sunrise party when crowds gathered to celebrate its fiftieth anniversary. Some quarter of a million people turned up (a third of the city"s entire population); the winds were strong and the huge
numbers caused the bridge to buckle, but fortunately not to break.
B. crash
C. bend
D. shake
B. 1995
C. 1937
D. 1959
B. So far about 1000 people killed themselves from the Golden Gate.
C. It took the workers 52 months to build the Golden Gate.
D. San Francisco had a population of about 750,000 in 1987
B. on foot
C. by car
D. by ship
阅读下面的短文,并根据短文后的要求答题。(请注意问题后的字数要求)。
diverse nations in Europe with over 250 different languages being spoken in London alone.
With such a various culture,adapting to it can be a challenge for anyone. Following these steps
should be of great help to you.
Forget the stereotypes (成见). Many of the long formed stereotypes simply have nothing
to do with Britain today. Don"t think that everyone enjoys drinking tea or beer. Abandoning some
old ideas of people and culture will allow you to be more open-minded and easily get into the culture.
Understand the differences. Britain is made up of different areas that have their different
traditions and languages. Understanding different cultures will help you avoid making mistakes.
Get used to small spaces. The US is a huge country where people are used to bigger cars,
houses and spaces.__________, Britain does not have the luxury of space. Houses,apartments
and cars are all smaller than you are used to,so trying to become familiar with smaller areas is very
necessary.
Be polite. Always apologize for knocking into someone, even if it was their fault. Respect
people"s personal space and always wait in line. Bill Brysons" book Notes from a small island is
filled with many useful tips.
Accept the jokes. One of the most confusing aspects of British culture is humor. Kidding,
teasing,or "taking the mick" are all ways to describe making fun of someone but this isn"t necessarily
a bad thing. Playing tricks on someone is a common way to show affection. As Britons usually put
it,"you never make fun of someone you don"t like".

The noise about Pearl Harbor,made by Disney,has reached its highest point with its premiere (首次公演) before the movie opens in cinemas across the US at the start of the Memorial Day holiday weekend,a time to recall national heroes who sacrificed their lives on the battlefield.
As Ben Affleck is the main star,the movie seems sure to become a success in the United States at least.
At almost three hours in length,it promises to be a good old Hollywood movie. There is a love story. Affleck and his co-star,Josh Hartnett,both fall in love with the navy nurse,Kate Beckinsale and,of course,there is much human courage and love of country.
It"s certain that Disney will be accused of "changing" history.The showing of actual events in a movie always causes arguments.
Bits of the story are deliberately not mentioned in the movie.It does not address the theory held by some historians that President Franklin Roosevelt knew about Japan"s intention to attack the ships in Pearl Harbor.It is said he did nothing,as he was aware that such a blow would allow him to take America into the Second World War.
Japan remains sensitive about being accused of wartime atrocities (暴行).And Disney is sensitive about its business in Japan,where it has a theme park.
Not all the reviews of the movie have been full of praise.A reviewer for Newsweek,who was given an early preview,acknowledged that the 40-minute sequence (连续镜头) showing the attack itself was powerful.The attack comes quite late in the movie,however,and the reviewer was less impressed with the characters and the love story.
"Almost every line of the dialogue sounds like it comes from an old movie," the reviewer wrote.
B.the day people remember their ancestors
C.a day people celebrate the victories of World War Ⅱ
D.a day people remember those who died in wars
B.may be a very popular movie star
C.experienced the Pearl Harbor Incident
D.was in love with the actress Kate Beckinsale
B.The movie has made the Japanese angry.
C.The movie truly describes the Pearl Harbor Incident.
D.The movie shows that President Roosevelt knew about Japan"s intention.
B.The dialogue in the movie is original and creative.
C.The attack scenes occupy too much time of the movie.
D. The characters and the love story are less attractive.
B.The True Fact of Pearl Harbor.
C.Reviewer:Pearl Harbor is a success.
D.Attention!Pearl Harbor is arriving.
Britain and collectors even have their own magazine, International Telephone Cards. One reason for their
interest is that cards from around the world come in a wide variety of different and often very attractive
designs. There are 100, 000 different cards in Japan alone, and there you can put your own design onto
a blank card simply by using a photograph or a business card.
The first telephone cards, produced in 1976, were Italian. Five years later the first British card
appeared, and now you can buy cards in more than a hundred countries. People usually start collecting
cards because they are attractive, small and light, and they do not need much space. It is also a cheap
hobby for beginners, although for some people it becomes a serious business. In Paris, for example, there
is a market where you can buy only telephone cards, and some French cards cost up to 4, 000 pounds.
The first Japanese card has a value of about 28, 000 pounds. Most people only see cards with prices like
these in their collectors magazine.
B. phone card collecting as a hobby
C. reason for phone card collecting

list-based method. Following the number-based method,typhoons are coded with various
types of numbers such as a 4-digit or a 6-digit code. For example,the 14th typhoon in
2003 can be labeled either as Typhoon 0314 or Typhoon 200314. The disadvantage of
this method,however,is that a number is hard to remember. The list-based method,on the
other hand,is based on the list of typhoon names chosen in advance by a committee,and is
more widely used.
At the very beginning, only female names were used because at that time typhoons were
named after girlfriends of wives of the experts on the committee. In 1979,however,male names
were also included because women protested against the original naming practice for reasons
of gender(性别)equality.
In Asia,Western names were need until 2000 when the committee decided to use Asian
names to raise Asians" awareness of typhoons. The names were chosen from a name pool
consisting of 140 names,10 each from the 14 members of the committee. Each country has its
unique naming preferences. Korea and Japan favor animal names and China likes names of gods
such as Longwang(dragon king)and Fengshen(god of the wind).
After the 140 names are all used in order,they will be recycled. But the names can be changed.
If a member country suffers great damage from a certain typhoon,it can request that the name of
the typhoon be deleted from the list at the annual committee meeting. For example,the names of
Nabi by South Korea,and Longwang by China were replaced with other names in 2007. The
deletion of both names was due to the severs damage caused by the typhoons bearing the names.
B. Typhoon 0312
C. Typhoon 201214
D. Typhoon 1203
B. female names are hard to remember
C. women thought it unequal to use only female names
D. the experts preferred to have more variety
B. 10
C. 14
D. 140
B. Fengshen
C. Daxiang(elephant)
D. Mayi(ant)
B. Why to name typhoons
C. the history of typhoons
D. equality between men and women
