Bush on them last week. But this was no carnival (狂歡節) - it was the Republican Party s National Convention (共和黨全國大會) , which attracted thousands of protestors (抗議者). It was the largest protest ever at a US political convention, with at least 120,000 people marching through Manhattan on August 29. They demanded that the US leave Iraq and a new president be chosen. The Republicans say the opposition - Democrat Party (民主黨) encouraged the people on to the streets. They believe it is a Democratic move to help win presidential election, to be held on November 2. The election is described as the decisive battle between donkey and elephant. The two animals are the symbols of the two major political parties in the US. The elephant represents (象徵) the Republicans, whose candidate (候選人), President George W. Bush, is trying to defeat the donkey to win his second term. The donkey represents the Democrats, whose candidate, John Kerry, is trying to kick the elephant out of the White House. Republicans think the elephant is powerful and clever, but the Democrats argue it is stupid and conservative (守舊的). In return, the Republicans regard the donkey as stubborn (倔強的) and silly but the Democrats say it is humble, plain, smart and courageous. The Republicans have been sending emails to Bush supporters and journalists with the header, An Elephant Never Forgets , said party spokeswoman Heather Layman. Elephants are known for their long memories. The emails suggest that Bush will keep his promises, while Kerry will not stick to his words. It is interesting that both symbols were created by a single person, Thomas Nast, a famous political cartoonist of the late 19th century. During the election in 1874, Nast drew a cartoon, in which a donkey in a lions skin frightened an elephant marked Republican.51. In the passage, the donkey stands for _. A. the White House B. the Republicans C. the Democrats D. John Kerry52. What does kick the elephant out of the White House mean? A. Drive the animal out of the White House. B. Drive President Bush out of power. C. Keep the elephant out of the White House. D. Insist on Bushs being elected.53. In the eyes of the Republicans, the donkey is considered as _. A. clever B. foolish C. polite D. brave54. Which of the following in NOT true? A. The same artist created the two symbols. B. The emails suggest Kerry will not carry out his promises. C. An Elephant Never Forgets means that an elephant has a good memory. D. John Kerry is a Democrat.BPeople enjoy taking trips . But what are the reasons they leave home ? One reason is for education . People travel because they want to broaden their horizons to learn about other people and other places . They are curious about other cultures . When people are tourists , they get a quick look at different ways of living . Even a short look at another kind of lifestyle is an important lesson . On a trip , a person can learn directly by visiting museums and historic spots . What does a tourist learn who sees the art museums , visits the historical places and other scenic spots in Paris and shops along the River Seine ? He gets a vivid picture , a real life of one of the French people . He learns about their attitudes , how they feel about business , beauty and history . What about the tourist who goes to Hong Kong ? Does he get the same information that he could get from a book ? He might read that Hong Kong is crowded , that there is less than 200 square meters of space for each person . But seeing and feeling the lack of space will impress him much more . He might read that there are nearly 200 vehicles for every kilometer of roadway . But the sight of so many vehicles parked along the roadside would be a much more vivid lesson . The tourist to Hong Kong will never forget the contrasts : the straight vertical lines of tall modern buildings and the moving lines of boats that people live in.55.

In recent times, White House pets have been tame dogs and cats. Long ago, however, presidential pets, like our nation itself, were wilder!In 1806, President Thomas Jefferson lived in the White House. Passersby often caught sight of his pet bears. Explorers had discovered these fierce bears, caught a pair of small ones, and sent them to Jefferson. While the President was excited about his bears, his enemies in Congress constantly laughed at his pets, calling the White House “The Presidents Bear Garden.” By 1825, the bears were long gone from the White House scene. Now the building was home to President John Quincy Adams and his crocodile. The green beast actually belonged to General Lafayette, a French hero who had helped the United States win the Revolutionary War. When Lafayette asked Adams to keep the crocodile for him, the President couldnt refuse. While President Adams babysat the huge crocodile, First Lady Louisa Adams was busy raising thousands of silkworms. She used the silk from the silkworms to make cloth for her dresses.When President Martin Van Buren moved into the White House in 1837, he brought his tigers with him. At least, Van Buren said the tigers were his. The Sultan of Oman had sent the tigers when Van Buren was elected, so Congress argued that the cats belonged to the American people. A fight over the tigers continued for months. In the end, Congress sent someone to seize the tigers and put them in a zoo.Twenty years later, President James Buchanan received another valuable gift when he was in his first year in the White House. This time, the King of Siam sent several elephants! Buchanan had no desire to share his building with the big creatures, so he sent them to the zoo. Buchanan did, however, keep another gift-a pair of birds. They were a fitting symbol of presidential power.59. According to the passage, we can infer that .A. the pets the Presidents raised were all huge ones. B. the pets the presidents owned were all their favorite ones.C. the Presidents kept the pets not only at home but in the zoo.D. the Presidents pets were not o
