The population is about 7.5 million living in Manhattan. Manhattan, the center of the city, is on an island between the Hudson River and the East River. Most of the famous buildings such as the Empire State and the United Nations and other skyscrapers （摩天大厦）are in Manhattan.Some of its districts are Broadway, which has many theaters and cinemas; the Fifth Avenue, with stores and apartments; Greenwich Village, where many artists and writers have lived; and Central Park, with a small zoo and a skating rink.From Manhattan you have to cross to the other boroughs through a tunnel or over a bridge. The bridge from Brooklyn to Staten Island is the longest in the world.New York is the second largest port in the world and it has two airports: Kennedy International for international flights and La Guaridia for flights inside the USA. Its temperature goes from very cold in winter (sometimes twenty degrees centigrade below zero) to very hot in summer (sometimes 40 degrees centigrade). The people who live there come from all over the world and speak many different languages; there are 324 Germans and 390,000 Poles as well as people from Greece, Scotland, Ireland, Hungary, Italy and Romania. People call one district “Little Italy” and another “Chinatown”56What do we know about Manhattan?AManhattan is in the east of the city of New York.BManhattan is connected to the other parts of New York by way of highways.CManhattan is not a place for artists to live in.D There are lots of highrises in Manhattan.57If you want to see wonderful plays, you should go to _.ABroadway BCentral Park Cthe Fifth Avenue Dthe Empire State Building58One district of New York City is called “Chinatown” because _.A it is a district that has a large number of Chinese peopleBthe main citizens there are mainly from ChinatownCit is part of China and is administered（管辖） by the Chinese governmentDit is a district that is famous for China making59If you go from Italy, you are supposed to get to New York through _ Airport.ALa Guaridia B Kennedy International Ceither of the above two Dneither of the above two BIf Confucius (孔子) were still alive today and could celebrate his September 28 birthday with a big cake, there would be a lot of candles. Hed need a fan or a strong wind to help him put them out.While many people in China will remember Confucius on his special day, few people in the United States will give him a passing thought. Its nothing personal. Most Americans dont even remember the birthdays of their own national heroes.But this doesnt mean that Americans dont care about Confucius. In many ways he has become a bridge that foreigners must cross if they want to reach a deeper understanding of China.In the past two decades, the Chinese studies programs have gained huge popularity in Western universities. More recently, the Chinese government has set up Confucius Institutes in more than 80 countries. These schools teach both Chinese language and culture. The main courses of Chinese culture usually included Chinese art, history and philosophy(哲学）. Some social scientists suggest that Westerners should take advantage of the ancient Chinese wisdom to make up for the drawbacks of Westerners philosophy. Students in the United States, at the same time, are racing to learn Chinese. So they will be ready for life in a world where China is an equal power with the United States. Businessmen who hope to make money in China are reading books about Confucius to understand their Chinese customers.So the old thinkers ideas are still alive and well.Today China attracts the West more than ever, and it will need more teachers to introduce Confucius and Chinese culture to the West.As for the old thinker, he will not soon be forgotten by people in the West, even if his birthday is.60The opening paragraph is mainly intended to _.Aprovide some key facts about Confucius Battract the readers interest in the subjectCshow great respect for the ancient thinker Dprove the popularity of modern birthday celebrations61We can learn from Paragraph 4 that American students _.Ahave a great interest in studying Chinese Btake an active part in Chinese competitionsCtry to get high scores in Chinese exams Dfight for a chance to learn Chinese62The passage is likely to appear in _.Aa biographyBa history paper Ca newspaper Da philosophy textbook CBottled water is big business. Americans consume more than 8 billion gallons of the stuff a year and a $10 billion industry has sprung up to meet the demand. These days, consumers can choose between water sourced from Icelandic glaciers or the thawing snows of Mt Fuji; theres even one brand Woof Water specially designed for dogs.Of course, Americas thirst for bottled water is taking an environmental cost. According to the Earth Policy Institute, producing all those plastic bottles requires some 17 million barrels of oil a year. The energy needed to process and transport the bottles rises to 50 million barrels enough to run 3 million cars for a whole year. Meanwhile, water itself is growing increasingly scarce, making some communities to question the wisdom of giving bottling companies free rein (缰绳) to siphon_off local supplies. Bottling plants can consume hundreds of millions of gallons of water a year, seriously impacting groundwater levels and experts say the natural spring sources preferred by consumers are precisely the sources most vulnerable to over pumping.Fortunately, local leaders are starting to take note. The US Conference of Mayors is working to manage bottling plants and monitor the effect of thrownaway bottles; leaders in San Francisco, Salt Lake City, Los Angeles, and Santa Barbara have already promised to stop spending city funds on bottled water.The bottling companies have launched a twopronged (双管齐下的) counterattack. Individual brands are seeking to clean up their image: Fuji Water recently promised to go carbonnegative, and other companies are likely to follow suit. The trade groups representing the industry, meanwhile, are playing hardball: theyve launched a major lobbying (游说) effort and legal campaign to try to roll back the new efforts.For now, though, the momentum (动力) is with the reformers. Last month, the issue even reached the national stage, with Ohio Democrat Dennis Kucinich chairing House hearings on the industrys social and environmental influence. With expert witnesses blasting bottling companies and accusing the FDA of failing to properly monitor the industry, Kucinich pledged to examine the state of local and national regulations.63The author probably holds the belief that _.Abottled water is a big business and should be promotedBthe consumption of bottled water should be limitedCits good for consumers to have a free choice of waterDbottled water industry is not fairly treated64What can we learn from Paragraph 2?AAmerica is thirsty for bottled water.BThe disadvantages of drinking bottled water appear.CAmerican experts express their worries on water resources.DThe impact of bottled water consumption on environment is serious.65What can we infer from the passage?ABottledwater bans have come into effect in several states.BThe leaders dont pay enough attention to bottled water.CBottled water has caused much concern in America.DBottledwater companies are now in trouble.66The underlined phrase “siphon off” in Paragraph 2 probably means “_”Atake away Bkeep up Cadd to Dcut downDMy name is Leanna Deeds, and I am blind. I have a bachelors degree (学士学位) in journalism. However , my journalism career lasted ten months. I could not have a better job because I could not see.
