阅读理解。     Recently I paid a visit to Harvard university, where there are top class scientists and professors and the
best academic system in the world.
     I was pretty shocked when I first stepped onto the campus. Well, it"s not even really a campus. it"s more
like a district in a small town.
     Harvard"s main buildings are from the 18th century. They look very old and simple. You might even say
they"re a little shabby. They don"t fit the modern idea of university at all. The buildings are surrounded by
grass and trees, so I felt as if I had walked into a medieval (中世纪的) castle. But when I looked across the
street, busy shops and in-fashion students made me feel like I was in the 21st century again. It creates a strong
contrast and brings a special atmosphere to the school.
    Our tour guide Gary took us around and told us:"You see this grass field in the center of the school? Here
is where they host their graduation ceremony. They just set up tents and benches and have a very simple
ceremony," Unbelievable! Who would think the most talented students just graduate on the lawn?
     I saw some students put a blanket on the grass and lie down to read a book. When I listened to the soft
sound of pages turning, along with chirping of the birds, I felt very much calm. There was no competitive
feeling at all.
     Harvard has the world"s first computer in its science center and there are hundreds of high-end computers
too. Its religion and literature department are also among the best. It is the perfect mix of tradition and new
technology. It makes Harvard a very attractive place to study in. 1. What is the article mainly about?[     ]
A. The academic atmosphere in Harvard University.
B. The life of Harvard students.
C. The author"s impression of Harvard.
D. The author"s dream 2. When you walk in Harvard University, what do you find except that _____.[     ]
A. Some students read books on the grass
B. all building were built in the 18th century
C. Harvard is more like a district in a small town than a campus
D. there is a grass field where the graduation ceremony is held 3. Which field are among the best in the world? A. Literature, religion and architecture
B. Religion, computer and architecture
C. Literature, religion and computer
D. Literature, computer and architecture

     English has borrowed a lot of words from other languages in history. English borrowed words mainly from
French, German, Italian and Arabic.
     Borrowed words from French contain words for food and eating such as restaurant, words for jobs such
as dentist and words for relaxation such as ballet. At weddings in the west, they have confetti which people
throw over the newly-weds. This is an Italian word, meaning the small pieces of colored paper. What"s more,
Italy was famous for music and opera in the 18th century, so English borrowed many words for music and
opera from Italian. In the early times, Italians liked to be at war with other countries, words for military jobs,
for example, colonel, also became an English word.
    One reason that so many German words in English is that the Germans were very clever at inventing things.
They invented the clock to ensure they were on time. Englishmen also use clock for this purpose in English.
Many of the words for fast food or snacks in English also come from German, including the famous hamburger.
     We all know the fact that the Arabs were good traders and they brought in many Arabic words in English,
such as coffee and alcohol. We all use Arabic numbers, and zero is an Arabic English word.
     English has borrowed many words from other languages and, of course, it will.

1. How many languages are talked of in the passage?

[ ]

A. One.

3. Which of the following is wrong?

[ ]

A. There are many differences between French and English.
B. English will continue to borrow words from Italian.
C. English will never take in Chinese words.
D. A good master of English is helpful for French-learning.

     When you arrive at the Shanghai Expo site, the first thing you will see is a huge red building in the ancient
Chinese dougong (斗拱) architectural (建筑的) style. Built according to the concept of "Oriental Crown", the
China Pavilion (展厅) is the largest national pavilion at the Expo.
     Themed "Search of the East", the pavilion is divided into three sections. Footprint of the East on the top
floor shows the change of Chinese cities; a Journey of Wisdom on the second floor, China"s four great
inventions-the compass, paper, printing and gunpowder are displayed; and Blossoming (盛开的) City on the
ground floor shows the scenery of future cities.
     Take a lift, and you"ll be taken to the 8,500-square-meter top floor. There, in a film by Lu Chuan, you"ll see
how Chinese cities have changed, especially over the past 30 years. The 10-minute movie is shown in a 600-
seat theater.
     The painting Along the River During Qingming Festival, is considered a national treasure. It describes life
in Bianjing, which is today"s Kaifeng in Henan province. More than 1,000 years ago, it was the largest city in
the world. Multimedia technology makes more than 1,500 characters of the painting walk and move along a
100-meter-long wall.
     Four families are chosen from Zhejiang province to show their daily lives. Films of the families and furniture
from the households are exhibited. At the pavilion, you"ll get insight into the daily lives of these families at
different periods. The designers believe these will mirror the great changes Zhejiang has seen since China"s
reform and opening-up policy in the late 1970s.

     During a recent vacation I visited Dusseldorf, a city in the dormer West Germany. The nine-day trip left
a deep impression on me. I arrived at Dusseldorf airport at six. It was already dark outside. The first thing I
needed to do was to find a place to   1 . I decided to telephone the youth hotel. But to use the   2   I needed
some coins. I asked a lady for help. To my   3 , she   4   me five coins to use! But all the phones in the   5
needed phone cards. And phone cards could only be   6   at post office during the daytime. I was afraid I
wouldn"t be able to call the   7  . An old gentleman helped me. He couldn"t speak English but   8   that I needed
to make a phone call. He showed me where the   9   was and inserted (插入) his phone card. I called the youth
hotel and found a place to stay that night. The kindness of the German people made me feel  10  and it seemed
that I was not far from  11 . And my first day in Germany wasn"t as  12  as I expected previously.
     Whenever I went, I asked people for  13 . What surprised me most was that almost every young German
could tell me the way in  14  English. Older Germans couldn"t speak English so well,  15 , they would try to
help me whenever they could. One middle-aged man I asked for directions even  16  me to the place I was
looking for. My experience in Germany completely changed my  17  of Germans. Before, I thought they were
unfriendly to foreigners. In the World War II in the 1940s, Germans were always  18 . But things have  19
since then. And Germans today couldn"t be more  20 , in my opinion.
