Some countries have several of each.The worlds first passenger airline was called the St. Petersburg Tampa Airboat Line. This St. Petersburg was in Florida in the USA, and the airline took passengers on a 20-mile flight across Tampa Bay. It operated for only four months from January 1914.The first European airline flew every day from Berlin to Weimar called Deutsche Lutt-Reederei (DLR). It started to operate on 6 February 1919. At first it carried only mail and newspapers, but before long it took passengers as well. The planes were open to the air so passengers had to wear special clothing and shoes to protect them from the wind, rain and cold.In March 1919 the first international airline began to operate. Lignes Aeriennes Farman flew once a week between Paris and Brussels. The journey took two hours and 50 minutes. Later that year, an English airline, Air Transport and Travel, flew every day from London to Paris.Although the first passenger flights took place in the USA, the development of air travel in America was strangely slow; it was not until 1926 that there were any regular passenger services there. It was not until 1939 that the first service across the North Atlantic began to operate. This was a service by the Pan American Boeing 314 flying boat, Yankee Clipper, which took 18 hours and 42 minutes to cover the journey between Newfoundland in North America and Southampton in England. The journey now takes about four hours by Boeing 777 and half that by Concorde.Today for many people air travel is as much part of their lives as traveling by boat, car or train. Although it has not seriously affected travel by car or train, it has caused many shipping lines to stop carrying passengers, as most people now prefer to make long journeys by air rather than by sea.（1）The first passenger airline . A . traveled across land to TampaB . operated in RussiaC . operated only for a short timeD . started in a famous city（2）DLR carried . A . mail and newspapers onlyB . passengers onlyC . shoes and clothingD . mail at first, then passengers later（3）The flight across the Atlantic by Concorde takes . A . two hoursB . two hours and 50 minutesC . four hoursD . 18 hours and 42 minutes（4）The story is about . A . the history of flightB . the development of passenger air travelC . the invention of the first planeD . the development of the first airline35. （10分） Its so beautiful outside that spending the day in the office would be very boring.

It began with a group of people living on its hills over 2,900 years ago. Around the year 1100, Siena became an important business center in Italy. In 1472, the first bank of the world was built in this city and has been doing business ever since.Today Siena is famous for keeping its “old face.” For example, its city walls, which helped keep the city safe in the past, are hundreds of years old now and look almost the same as before. Also, many old buildings are seen at the Piazza del Campo, the most important meeting place of the city. Few things have really changed in this center of public life for hundreds of years. Now people still go to the open space for sharing news, shopping or playing sports. There is one more thing that helps keep Sienas old face: cars cannot enter the city most of the time.True, Siena is old, but it is beautifully old. People are welcome to visit this beautiful city and walk into the past.（1）The old city, Siena, began more than 2,900 years ago. （2）Siena is famous for having the first bank of the world today. （3）People in Siena have protected the old city walls very well. （4）Few old buildings can be found at the Piazza del Campo. （5）Most of the time cars are not allowed to enter Siena. 四、 根据句子，写出正确的单词 (共10题；共37分)37. （10分）阅读下面短文，在空白处按要求填入适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。Charlotte Simmonds is a 17-year-old student from Sydney, Australia.
