When I visited the city last year, that song kept running through my head. It got me wondering: Just what is wonderful about Copenhagen?Its not a place filled with world-famous tourist sites. But it does have a charm（魅力）that makes you want to linger. You can sample the food, visit the castles and museums, and learn about the life of the Danes.Stoget, the worlds longest pedestrian (人行道) mall, runs through the center of the old city. This string of lively street and squares makes walking a treat. I happily explored the mall, looking in the windows of shops and cafes. I followed Stoget from the square in front of the city hall to Nyhavn. Here, old houses painted bright colors look out over a picturesque harbor filled with sailing ships. Denmarks beloved storyteller Hans Christian Andersen lived here when he wrote his first stories.From Nyhavan, I continued heading north. I wanted to see Copenhagens symbol, the statue of the Little Mermaid (美人鱼). She was set up in honor of Hans Christian Andersens famous story. As I continued my city tour, one thing impressed me all the bicycles. I learned that half the population of Copenhagen rides bikes every day. Only 20 percent of Copenhageners own cars because there is a 180 percent tax on them. That certainly keeps the city free of traffic jams and heavy pollution！ Its easy to join all the bicyclists pedaling (骑车) through the streets, too. The city provides free bicycles that anyone can use. The cycling around the castles and parks made a relaxing end to a full day. As darkness fell and the parks lights began to twinkle, I watched families enjoying themselves.So what is wonderful about Copenhagen? Just about everything.41. What is the purpose of referring to the song in the 1st paragraph?A. To arouse the interest of the readers in the city of Copenhagen.B. To show the readers that Copenhagen is a wonderful city.C. To express the puzzled feeling of the author.D. To ask the readers to find out what is wonderful about Copenhagen.42. The word linger in the 2nd paragraph is most close to_A. walk B. stay C. learn D. leave43. The underlined sentence“makes walking a treat” in the 3rd paragraph means_A. You can find various food in this string of lively street and squaresB. You will meet many people when walking along the string of lively street and squaresC. Walking will be a great pleasure because of the string of lively slmet and squaresD. The string of lively strict and squares make people eager to walk along44. Which of the following is TRUE?A. Copenhagen is a city with lots of places of interest.B. Stoget is the biggest pedestrian mall in the world.C. The government of Copenhagen does encourage people to ride bicycles.D. Nyhavn is a city hall where Hans Christian Anderson once worked.（B）Dog Translation Products Coming to U. S.A Japanese toy maker declares that they have developed a gadget that translates dog barks into human language and plans to begin selling the gadgetunder the name of Bowlingualin U. S. pet stores and gift shops this summer.Tokyo-based Takara Co. Ltd. says about 300, 000 of the dog translator gadgets have been sold since it was on sale in Japan late last year. It is forecasting far bigger sales once an English language translation for dogs comes to America in August. The United States is home to about 67 million dogs, more than six times the number in Japan.We know that the Americans love their dogs so much, so we dont think they will mind spending $ 120 on this product, the Takara marketing manager said during an interview at a recent pet products conference in Atlanta.Regarded as one of the coolest inventions of 2002 by Time magazine, Bowlingual is made up of a 3 - inch long wireless microphone that is fastened（绑/系）to a dog collar and sends out sounds to a small console (控制台) that is connected to a database (数据库). The console divides each bark into six emotional typeshappiness, sadness, disappointment, anger, threat and desireand shows common phrases, such as Youre ticking me off, that fit the dogs emotional state.Takara says it has spent millions of dollars developing the gadget in cooperation（合作）with famous sound experts and animal behaviorists.One thing that does appear certain is that the markets for animal translation products will likely remain a dogs world since Takara has no plans to develop a similar gadget for cats. They are too unpredictable (反复无常) , the marketing manager said.45. This passage mainly tells us that Bowlingual _.A. was invented in Japan B. has developed quicklyC. will be sold in America D. sells well for its price46. The underlined word they in the last paragraph refers to _.A. markets B. products C. plans D. cats47. When was this passage most probably published?A. In the winter of 2002. B. In the spring of 2003.C. In the summer of 2002. D. In the autumn of 2003.48. From the passage, we can see that Takara Co. Ltd. is _ the sale of its new product.A. proud of B. satisfied with C. confident of D. worried about( C )If you and your friends wish to share a secret, you can write it in code(编码), and no one else will be able to read it. Codes are one way of writing in secret. Ciphers (暗码) are another. In a code each word is written as a secret code word or code number. In a cipher each letter is changed.Codes and ciphers have played an important role in the history of the world. Julius Caesar, the Roman ruler who defeated almost all the countries in Europe about 2, 000 years ago, used a cipher when he sent secret messages to his troops. During the American Revolution, George Washingtons spies used a kind of code to send him information about the enemy before his military (军事的) action. In World War , the Americans broke, or figured out, Japans most important navy codes and got enough information to destroy a powerful Japanese fleet(舰队).Storekeepers use codes to mark their goods. The codes show how much was paid for the goods or when they were added to the stock (商品). Businessmen use codes to hide plans from their business enemies. Sometimes personal letters or diaries are written in code. Many people enjoy figuring out codes and ciphers simply as a hobby.In the 16th century, codes and ciphers were very popular among scientists. They wrote messages to each other in code so that no one else would learn their secrets. Geronimo Gardano, an Italian astrologer (星相家), mathematician, and doctor, invented the trellis cipher. He took two sheets of paper and cut exactly the same holes in each one. Then he sent one sheet, which he called a trellis, to a friend and kept the other for himself. Whenever he wanted to write a message, he put his trellis over a clean sheet of paper and wrote the secret message through the holes. Then he removed the trellis and filled the rest of the paper with words that would make sense. When his friend received it, he put his trellis over the writing and read the secret message.49. The best title of this passage is _.A. Codes and Ciphers B. Differences between Codes and CiphersC. History of Codes and Ciphers D. Inventors of Codes and Ciphers50. Which of the following statements is true?A. Ciphers can be broken or figured out more easily than codes.B. You could read some words in Geronimo s letter without his trellis.C. The first person who ever used a cipher in history was Julius Caesar.D. Fondness of using codes was the hobby of the scientists in the 16th century.51.
