On Liberty Island there is a very special statue (塑像) called the Statue of Liberty. It is one of the most famous sights in the world.The Statue of Liberty was a gift from the people of France to the people of the United States. The statue was made by a French man named Frederic Auguste Bartholdi. The inner support system was designed by Gustave Eiffel, the same man who made the famous Eiffel Tower in Paris.Liberty, of course, means freedom, and the Statue of Liberty was given to the United States to celebrate the one hundredth year of U.S. independence (独立) from England. The statue was built in France, taken apart piece by piece, and then rebuilt in the United States. It was opened for the public on October 28, 1886.As you might expect, the statue is very big. Visitors can ride an elevator from the ground to the bottom of the statue. If they want to, they can then walk up the 168 steps to reach the head of the statue where they can look out and enjoy the beautiful sight of the city of New York.1. A good title for this selection is_.A. Famous Sights in the WorldB. Liberty IslandC. The Statue of LibertyD. A Gift from France2. The world “sights”, in the first paragraph means_.A. a small present or gift.B. a kind of postcard.C. the power of seeing.D. something that you can see.3. The statue was built in_. A. France. B. the United States. C. England. D. Liberty Island.4. We may conclude that the elevator does not_ A. go fast enough. B. cost a lot of money. C. go to the top. D. both A and B5. The man who made the part of the statue that we can see on the outside was_.A. an unknown architect.B. Bartholdi.C. Eiffel.D. both B and C. BTraveling without a map in different countries, I find out about different “styles” of directions every time I ask “How can I get to the post office?”Foreign tourists are often confused in Japan because most streets there dont have name signs; in Japan, people use landmarks in their directions instead of street names. For example, the Japanese will say to travelers, “Go straight down to the corner. Turn left at the big hotel and go past a fruit market. The post office is across from the bus stop.”People in Los Angeles, the US, have no idea of distance on the map: they measure distance by time, not miles. “How far away is the post office?” you ask. “Oh,” they answer, “its about five minutes from here.” You dont understand completely, “Yes, but how many miles away is it, please?” To this question you wont get an answer, because most probably they dont know it themselves.People in Greece sometimes do not even try to give directions because tourists seldom understand the Greek language. Instead, a Greek will often say, “Follow me.” Then hell lead you through the streets of the city to the post office.Sometimes a person doesnt know the answer to your question. What happens in the situation? A New Yorker might say, “Sorry, I have no idea.” But in Yucatan, Mexico, no one answers “I dont know.” People there believe that “I dont” is impolite. They usually give an answer, but often a wrong one. So a tourist can get lost very easily in Yucatan!However, one thing will help you everywhere in the world. Its body language.6. Which one of the followings is probably an example of Japanese directions?A. “Go south two miles. Turn west and then go another mile.”B. “Turn right at the hospital and go past a school. The library is right in front of you.”C. “The post office is about five minutes from here”D. “The post office is at Street Kamira.”7. People in Los Angeles dont give directions in miles because _.A. they use landmarks in their directions instead of distance B. they prefer to lead you the wayC. they often have no idea of distance measured by milesD. they prefer to use body language8. Greeks give directions by _. A. using street namesB. using landmarksC. leading people the wayD. giving people a wrong direction9. Where is Yucatan? A. In the USA. B. In Japan.C. In Greece. D. In Mexico. 10. Which of the following is NOT true?A. People in Yucatan always give right directions.B. There are different ways to give directions in different parts of the world.C. People in some places give directions in miles, but people in other places give directions in time. CHow much rain has fallen on the earth in the past? Man has not always kept weather records. Because scientists need a way to learn about past rainfall, they study tree rings. A trees trunk grows bigger each year. Beneath its bark (树皮), a tree adds a layer of new wood each year it lives. If you look at a tree stump, you can see the layers. They are called annual rings (年轮) On some trees, all of the rings are he same width. But the ponderosa pines (松) that grow in the American southwest have rings of different width. The soil in the southwest is dry. The pines depended on rainfall for water. In a year of good rainfall, they form wide rings. In a dry year, they form narrow ones.Scientists do not have to cut down a pine to study its rings. With a special tool, they can remove a narrow piece of wood from the trunk without harming the tree. Then they look at the width of each ring to see how much rain fell in the year it formed.Some pines are hundreds of years old and have hundreds of rings. These rings form an annual record of past rainfall in the Southwest.11. The story does not say so, but it makes you think that_.A. a tree grows faster when it has a lot of water.B. scientists cut down trees to study tree rings.C. pine trees form wide rings every year.D. the ponderosa pine grows in the Southwest12. A tree rows a new layer of wood_.A. each weekB. whenever it rainsC. every yearD. every season13. On the whole, this story is about_.A. why tree trunks grow bigger.B. why scientists study tree rings.C. trees that lived hundreds of years ago.D. the ponderosa pines in the American Southwest.14. Why did the scientists study the width of the tree rings?A. They want to know how big the tree will grow.B. Scientists want to move the pine trees.C. The trees depend on rainfall for water.D. The rings tell them how much rain has fallen.15. Which of the following does this story lead you to believe?A. Young trees have few annual rings.B. The trunk of a tree never changes in size.C. Trees in the Southwest do not need rain.D. The soil in the Southwest it fit for the growth of trees.DMobile phone (手机) has become a problem for middle schools.
