Without its pedestal its as tall as a 15-story building. She represents the United States. But the world-famous Statue of Liberty standing in New York Harbor was built in France. The statue was presented to the U.S., taken apart, shipped across the Atlantic Ocean , and rebuilt in the U.S. It was Frances gift to the American people.It all started at dinner one night near Paris in 1865. A group of Frenchmen were discussing their dictator-like emperor and the democratic government of the U.S. They decided to build a monument to American freedomand perhaps even strengthen French demands for democracy in their own country. At that dinner was the sculptor Frdric-Auguste Bartholdi (bar-TOLE-dee). He imagined a statue of a woman holding a torch burning with the light of freedom.Turning Bartholdis idea into reality took 21 years. French supporters raised money to build the statue, and Americans paid for the pedestal it would stand on. Finally, in 1886, the statue was dedicated.Fast Facts* Engineer Gustave Eiffel, who would later design the Eiffel Tower in Paris, designed Libertys “spine(脊椎骨).” Inside the statue four huge iron columns support a metal framework that holds the thin copper skin.* Frdric-Auguste Bartholdi knew he wanted to build a giant copper goddess; he used his mother as the model.* The statue151 feet, 1 inch (46 meters, 2.5 centimeters) tallwas the tallest structure in the U.S. at that time.* The arm holding the torch measures 46 feet (14 meters); the index finger, 8 feet (2.4 meters); the nose, nearly 5 feet (1.5 meters).* The statue is covered in 300 sheets of coin-thin copper. They were hammered into different shapes and put together.* The statue sways 3 inches (7.62 centimeters) in the wind; the torch sways 5 inches (12.7 centimeters).* Visitors climb 354 steps (22 stories) to look out from 25 windows in the crown.* Seven rays in the crown represent the Earths seven seas.59. What can be inferred from the passage ? A. In the 1860s, the French people wanted to enjoy more freedom. B. The pedestal is as tall as a 15-story building. C. The statue was funded by he French government. D. The statue was built in New York.60. The Statue of Liberty looks like_. A. a French model B. Eiffels mother C. the sculptors mother D. an American beauty61. Which of the following is not mentioned in the passage about the statue? A. its height B. the materials its made of C. its structure D. the amount of the money spent to build itCInsects trapped in fossilized amber (琥珀) for tens of millions of years have provided the key to creating a new generation of antibiotic drugs that could start a war against modern diseases. Scientists have isolated the antibiotics from microbes(微生物) found either from these insects or in soil particles trapped with them when they were caught by sticky tree resin up to 130 million years ago.Present-day antibiotics have nearly all been isolated from microbes that use them as a form of defense against their enemies and competitors. But since the introduction of antibiotics into medicine 50 years ago, an alarming number have become ineffective because many bacteria have developed resistance to the drugs. Research over the past two years has uncovered at least four antibiotics from the microbes and one has been able to kill modern drug-resistant bacteria that can cause potentially deadly diseases in humans. Raul Cano, who has pioneered the research at the California Polytechnic State University, said the ancient antibiotics had been successful in fighting drug-resistant strains of staphylococcus (葡萄球菌), a “superbug” that had threatened the health of patients in hospitals across the globe. He now intends to establish whether the antibiotics might have side effects. “The problem is how toxic they are to other cells and how easy they are to purify”, said Cano. Canos findings have been acknowledged as a breakthrough. A biotechnology company, Ambergene, has been set up to develop the antibiotics into drugs. If any ancient microbes are revived(复活) that resemble present-day disease, they will be destroyed in case they escape and cause new epidemics. Drug companies will be anxious to study the chemical structures of the prehistoric antibiotics to see how they differ from modern drugs. They hope that one ancient molecule could be used as a basis to produce a range of drugs.However, even the use of ancient antibiotics may not stop the rise of drug-resistant bacteria. Stuart Levy warned that the bacteria would eventually evolve to fight back against the new drugs. “There might also be an enzyme already out there that can degrade it. So the only way to keep the life of that antibiotic going is to use it sensibly and not excessively,” he said. 62. What problem has man faced since the use of antibiotics as medicine according to the passage?A. Antibiotics are very difficult to purify.B. Antibiotics do harm to human health.C. Antibiotics resemble some disease-causing bacteria.D. Antibiotics are becoming less effective in fighting against bacteria.63. Why are Canos findings considered as a breakthrough in science?A. His discoveries will help revive ancient microbes. B. His discoveries will put an end to the rise of drug-resistant bacteria.C. The company Ambergene has applied the prehistoric antibiotics to drugs. D. The prehistoric antibiotics proved more deadly against drug-resistant modern bacteria. 64. According to the last paragraph, what is Stuart Levys attitude towards the use of ancient antibiotics? A. Cautious.B. Contradictory. C. Confident. D. Critical. 65. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage? A. AntibioticsDangerous or Not?B. Biotechnology Revealed Prehistoric Secrets.C. Insect Antibiotics and Bacteria Evolution.D. Prehistoric Insects Might Help Invent New Drugs.DFor several days I saw little of Mr. Rochester. In the morning he
