Its a famous English-language bookstore. An American, Sylvia Beach, opened the first Shakespeare and Company in history in 1919. She did more than selling books. Her bookstore was also a library, and she even had beds for writers visiting there. Ms Beach was not only kind to people but also good at choosing books, so her bookstore was often visited by writers like Ernest Hemingway and James Joyce. But in 1941, after the Germans took power in Paris, Ms Beach had to close her bookstore. In 1951, another American, George Whitman, opened another English-language bookstore, Le Mistral, in Paris. Since then, just as Ms Beach did, Mr Whitman had also made his bookstore a library for people to borrow books, and a free hotel for writers to stay in.

Large numbers of insects arebreeding(繁殖) in the polluted waterway. Officials say the insects land on the Taj Mahal and leave poop on its white stone walls. The insects waste is beginning to turn the walls green.Workers first discovered the problem last year. Aflyknown as thegenusGeoldichironomus is the reason for all the waste on the wall. Workers try to remove that, but experts fear heavy cleaning could damage the artwork from the wall in the Taj Mahal.Environmentalist D.K. Joshi says the way to stop this new threat is to save the dying river. “Industrial waste, solid waste, all this pours into the river. Millions of dollars have been spent to clean the river, but nothing has happened,” he added. Whats more, ashes (骨灰) from burnt human remains are part of the problem. For 200 years, people have set fire to dead bodies near the Taj Mahal. Ash from the funeral (葬礼的) ceremonies is the main source of food for the insects.Vikram also worries about the large amount of tourism. “So much is the amount of dirt that it creates; these are the problems of tourism. The tourists, they like to touch the surfaces. For that we are trying to provide some kind of separators”.We do believe cleaning the Yamuna River is possible with a short-term program. “Stop the waste from going into the river, improve its flow. It is not difficult,” Vikram said. He hopes this latest threat to the Taj Mahal from insects will get the attention of city officials. He hopes it will get them to clean the river.（1）Whats the new threat to the Tji Mahal? A . The Yamuna River is very dirty.B . Some white stones walls turn green.C . Many insects live in Tji Mahal and The Yamuna River.D . The insects leave poop on the stones.（2）What “that” in the 3rd paragraph refers to? A . The workers.B . The waste.C . The wall.D .

Ask more workers to remove the waste of the Taj Mahal.D . Reduce the burning of the human bodies（4）What does Joshi suggest? A . City officials should ignore the insects.B . Workers should help clean the Taj Mahal.C . Fires should be set to kill some insects.D . People should give up the tradition of burning the dead.5. （8分） New York is one of the last large American cities to have some of its policemen on horseback. The New York police have 170 horses working in certain parts of the city. The horses are expensive to feed, but it is even more expensive to look after them. Because the horses must walk on the streets, they need special horseshoes. In fact , they need more than 8,000 of them each year. Every police horse in New York gets new shoes every month. Keeping these shoes in good repair is the job of six blacksmiths. There are only about thirty-five of these blacksmiths in the whole United States.The cost of shoing a horse is between twenty dollars and thirty-five dollars, and it takes a good blacksmith two or three hours to do the job.A blacksmiths job is not an easy one. He must be able to shape a shoe from a piece of metal and then fit it to the horses foot. The blacksmith must bend over all the time when he is fitting the shoe and must hold the weight of the horses leg while he works. Clearly, a blacksmith must be very storng. But even more important, he must be able to deal with horses-for before the blacksmith can begin his work, he has to get the horse to lift its leg.One of the blacksmiths in New York is James Corbin. He came to the country from Ireland in 1948. He not only makes horseshoes for the police but also works for a group of horse owners near the city. Corbin became interested in blacksmithing because his father did it, and,as the puts it, “Its a good way to make a living.”（1）According to the reading passage, a blacksmith must be likely a_ man.A . cleverB . richC . strongD . lucky（2）James Corbin became a blacksmith because he_.A . was interested in horsesB . was needed by the policemenC . drew a picture of the horseshoeD . had a make a living（3）In the reading passage “to shape a shoe” is to_.A . fit it on the horses footB . use it for two or three hoursC . make the from of a horseshoe from a piece of metalD . draw a picture of the shoe（4）The best title for the passage is “_”.A . Policemen on HorsebackB . Blacksmiths and HorseshoeingC . James Corbin, a BlacksmithD . Horseshoeing is a Good Way to Make a Living（5）Which of the following is true?A . Only a few large American cities have some policemen on horseback.B . New York is the only city in America to have some policemen on horseback.C .
