阅读理解     San  Francisco is a spectacular city. It is famous for its steep hills, its earthquakes and the prison island of Alcatraz, but its most famous landmark is the Golden Gate Bridge. This is one of the most beautiful
bridges in the world. It has a simple, graceful shape, and is painted in an attractive orange.
     Work on the Golden Gate Bridge started in 1933 and continued for the next four years. The total cost of the bridge was US$35 million. At that time, its span of 1,200 meters made the Golden Gate Bridge the
longest suspension(悬浮) bridge in the world. The bridge is 2.7 kilometers long and, at the middle point,
70 meters above the water of San Francisco Bay. The main cables that hold the bridge are one meter in
diameter. The bridge can safely withstand(抵挡) winds of up to 160 kilometers an hour, and it can sway(摇摆) as much as 8 meters in strong winds.
     On Thursday, May 27, 1937, 200,000 people walked across the bridge to mark its opening. People
are still allowed to walk across: it takes about half an hour each way. It is worth the effort. As you cross,
you understand the engineering skill that went into the construction of the bridge. You also get wonderful
views of San Francisco and the Bay Area.
      The Golden Gate Bridge has been the scene of many events since it was completed. It was shaken by
the earthquake of 1989. Daredevil(喜欢冒险的) pilots have flown their planes under it. Sadly, too, some people have taken their own lives by jumping from the bridge. But throughout its history, the Golden Gate Bridge has been the symbol of San Francisco, like the Temple of Heaven symbolizes Beijing and the
Eiffel Tower symbolizes Paris1. How many things make San Francisco famous?A. Two (its history and its present).
B. Three (steep hills, earthquakes, the prison island of Alcatraz).
C. Four (Golden Gate Bridge, steep hills, earthquakes, the prison island of Alcatraz).
D. Five (the orange color of the bridge, the shape of the bridge, steep hills, earthquakes, the prison island
of Alcatraz).2. The Golden Gate Bridge has been there for ______ years.A. less than 70      
B. more than 70  
C. about 15  
D. about 503. What is TRUE about the bridge?A. It was greatly damaged by the earthquake in 1989.
B. It can fight back strong winds of up to 180 kilometers an hour.
C. It has caused many deaths since its opening.
D. It is the symbol of the history of San Francisco.

     Normally a student must attend a number of courses in order to graduate, and each course which he
attends gives him a grade which he may count towards a degree. In many American universities the total
work for a degree is made up of thirty-six courses each lasting for one term. Generally, a course is made
up of three classes per week for fifteen weeks; while attending a university a student will probably attend
four or five courses during each term. Normally a student would expect to take four years attending two
terms each year. It is possible to spread the period of work for the degree over a longer period. It is also
possible for a student to move between one university and another during his degree course, though this is not done as a regular practice.  
     For every course that follows a student is given a grade, which is recorded, and the student can get it to show his future employers. All this sets a constant pressure and strain of work, but in spite of this some
students still find time for great activities in student affairs. They show much interest in elections to positions in student organizations performed by students who advise the academic authorities (权威人士). Any
student who is thought to have broken the rules, for example, by cheating is to appear before a student
court. With the large numbers of students, the operation of the system has something to do with a certain
amount of activity. A student who has held one of these positions of authority is much respected and it will be of benefit to him later in his career (生涯).

1. Normally a student would at least attend ______ classes each week. A. 36.    
B. 12    
C. 20      
D. 152. According to the first paragraph an American student is allowed ______. A. to live in a different university
B. to take a particular course in a different university
C. to live at home and drive to classes  
D. to get degrees from two different universities 3. Some students are interested in positions in student organizations probably because ______. A. they hate the constant pressure and strain of their study
B. they will then be able to stay longer in the university
C. such positions help them get better jobs
D. such positions are usually well paid

阅读理解    There are literally hundreds of national parks and wildlife areas in Africa that you can travel to. Here
are the top four travel destinations in Africa:
     Tanzania-Serengeti NP
     During the annual migration, when the wildebeests and zebras pack__up and leave their living areas
to find fresher ones, the Serengeti is an astonishing place to be. It"s a very good travel spot in Africa at
other times of the year too but the migration has been ranked by many as one of the wonders of the
natural world.
    Kenya-Masai Mara NP
     If you want to see the big cats, this wildlife park is the best of the best. Lion, leopard and cheetah
abound and they are relatively easy to spot because of the grassland vegetation which means you get
good views for miles around. Another big plus is the fact that going offroad is allowed and it is a big
advantage because the animals will rarely oblige you and stay next to the major roads.
     South Africa-Kruger National Park
     For the variety of species no other place in Africa can come close to the Kruger Park. And because
it is so large it has a number of different ecosystems that you can pass through in your search for animals
and birds. It is one of the best managed parks in Africa and the accommodation is wellequipped, too.
     Zambia-South Luangwa National Park
     South Luangwa is a diamond in the rough, just waiting for enough exposure to bring it to its rightful
place in the crown of prime Africa trips. It has been regarded as one of the best places in Africa to see
the special leopard and it is the birthplace of the walking travel.1. The underlined phrase "pack up" in Paragraph 2 means ________.  A. rise

阅读理解     In their book Time to Eat the Dog: The Real Guide to Sustainable Living, Robert and Brenda Vale
say keeping a mediumsized dog has the same ecological impact as driving 10,000 km a year in a 4.6
liter Land Cruiser.
     "We"re not actually saying it is time to eat the dog. We"re just saying that we need to think about and
know the ecological impact of some of the things we do and that we take for granted."
     Constructing and driving the jeep for a year requires 0.41 hectares of land, while growing and
manufacturing a dog"s food takes about 0.84 hectares-or 1.1 hectares in the case of a large dog such
as a German shepherd.
     Convincing flesheating cats and dogs to go vegetarian for the sake of the planet is a nonstarter, the
Vales say. Instead they recommend keeping "greener", smaller, and more sustainable pets, such as
goldfish, chickens or rabbits.
    The book"s playful title, and serious suggestion that pet animals may be usefully "recycled", by being
eaten by their owners or turned into pet food when they die, may not appeal to animal fans.
Annoying as the idea may be, the question is valid given the planet"s growing population and limited
resources, Robert Vale said.
     "Issues about sustainability are increasingly becoming things that are going to require us to make
choices which are as difficult as eating your dog. It"s not just about changing your light bulbs or taking
a cloth bag to the supermarket," he said.
    "It"s about much more challenging and difficult issues," he added. "Once you see where cats and
dogs fit in your overall balance of things, you might decide to have the cat but not also to have the two
cars and the three bathrooms and be a meat eater yourself."1. The authors gave their book the playful title to ________.A. make it amusing        
B. create a vivid image
C. show writing skills      
D. arouse people"s concern2. In Paragraph 3 the writer mainly wants to tell us ________.  A. the amount of consumed land
B. the neglected ecological impact
C. some familiar examples
D. some actual figures3. Who may not like the idea of "recycling" pet animals?A. Manufacturers.            
B. Drivers.
 C. Animal fans.              
D. The authorities.4. What do the authors think of living a sustainable life?A. Challenging.              
B. Inspiring.
C. Inviting.                  
D. Touching.
