Directions: Read the following passage and choose the best answer from A, B, C and D. Blacken the correspon给初中老师的一封信ding letter on the Answer Sheet.
Manhattan Island is the oldest and most important of the five boroughs that make up New York City. It is 21.7 kilometers long and 3.8 kilometers wide at its widest point. It contains New York’s tallest buildings as well as some of the largest schools and colleges, and the most famous financial and theater districts in the United States. It has skyscrapers and Central Park, the old and the new, the best and the worst. It is like no other big city. It is unique.
To understand Manhattan, we must know something of its early history: its early days of Dutch colonists and English settlers; the waves of nineteenth-century European immigrants who arrived at its shores; the African-Americans who moved north after the Civil War; recent immigrants from China and other parts of Asia; and young people who
go to New York from all over America. It is a mix of ethnic groups and cultures, successes and failures, hopes and fears.
The United States is a nation of immigrants and no other city displays this fact as well as New York City. From Chinatown and Little Italy to Harlem, New York is a place where communities take pride in retaining their ethnicity. Most immigrants went to America with very little money. They were the poor and unhappy in their own countries. America gave them hope and a new beginning. Millions of immigrants have prospered in America.
On July 4, 1884, the people of France gave to the United States as a symbol of friendship, a statue sculptured by Frederic Auguste Bartholdi. This statue was placed on an island in New York Harbor. It is 46 meters high and is the first sight immigrants see as they come into New York City by ship. It is known as the Statue of Liberty. On the statue is a poem written by Emma Lazarus. This poem sums up the American tradition of accepting people from other countries. It follows:
Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!
1. What is the first landmark people on incoming ships see as they enter New York Harbor?
A. Chinatown.
B. Central Park.
C. Harlem.
D. The Statue of Liberty.
2. Emma Lazarus’ poem says that America is a place _________________.
A. where poor and unfortunate people are welcome
B. where there is liberty for people coming from other parts of the world
C. where there is garbage and litter on the shore
D. where there is a big light people can get together
3. Manhattan is __________________.
A. an island in the Pacific Ocean
B. a borough of New York City
C. often called Litter Italy
D. another name for City of New York
4. Statue of Liberty is _______________.
A. a gift from the people of France
B. a huge statue in Central Parkln.,,,this.,,world.,,there.,,is.,,,a.,creature.。
C. a symbol of justice
D. a chapter in the Constitution of the United States
5. New York City is ______________.
A. the only big city with a Chinatown

Section B Questions 6—10 are based on this section. (10 points)
Directions: Read the following passage and choose the best answer from A, B, C and D. Blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.
The camel is a slow-moving creature. But what it lacks in speed it gains in endurance. This veritable beast of burden can walk 30 miles a day carrying a load that weighs half a ton.
The kangaroo, with its long, muscular hind legs, is a marvel of fitness. Weighing about 200 pounds, it can thrust its heavy body into the air and clear a fence nine feet high. While airborne, this leaping athlete uses its thick tail as both a counterbalance and a steering wheel.ln.,,,this.,,world.,,there.,,is.,,,a.,creature.。
Never underestimate the strength of an insect. The tiny ant can move a burden 50 times its weight. And the brawny bee, when tied to a small load on wheels, is able to haul up to 300 times its own weight.
The elephant is a monument to muscles. Its trunk alone, which can do everything from pulling out a tree to delicately picking up a pin, contains about 70 times the number of muscles in your body.
One of the world’s longest leapers is the flea: it can jump 13 inches — about 350 times its own length. For a person six feet tall, this would be like jumping approximately 2,000 feet, or seven football fields. No one yet has leaped even as much as 30 feet.
A seemingly inexhaustible jumper is the Oriental rat flea: it can jump 600 times an hour for three whole days without stopping.
The fastest muscle movement ever recorded belongs to the mighty midge. This tiny, agile insect can beat its wings 133,000 times a minute, about 100 times faster than a human can blink an eye — which takes all of one twenty fifth of a second.
By land, air or sea, birds are masters of motions. The ostrich outruns any animal on two legs, carrying its 300-pound body at 30 miles an hour. The flight of the Indian bird sometimes exceeds 100 mph. And the gentoo penguin, by at least one account, can swim 22mph. At this speed, the penguin keeps pace with one of the fastest-swimming marine mammals, the dolphin.
6. It can be learned from the passage that ______.
A. the camel cannot cover 30 miles a day with a heavy load
B. the kangaroo cannot jump high with its heavy body
C. the elephant’s trunk is both flexible and mighty
D. the brawny bee has incredible strength when it is fastened to a tree
7. Which of the following figures is NOT correct?
A. The weight of a normal kangaroo is about 200 pounds.
B. The flea is the world’s greatest high jumper.
C. No one can jump 30 feet so far.
面如冠玉D. The oriental rat flea can jump for three days nonstop.
8. The fastest muscle movement champion belongs to a kind of ______.
A. marine mammal
B. huge-tailed animal
C. mighty beast
D. small insect
9. It can be inferred from the passage that ______.
A. an animal’s size decides its physical power
B. human beings can hardly jump as high as fleas
C. ostrich is kind of bird
D. the penguin swims faster than the dolphin
10. It seems that the author of this passage intends to ______.
A. compare animals with human athletes
B. introduce some gifted animal athletes
C. show the underestimated strength of some animals
D. demonstrate the law of “survival of the fittest”
Section C Questions 11—15 are based on this section. (10 points)
Directions: Read the following passage and choose the best answer from A, B, C and D. Blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.
Early in the development of agriculture, men discovered how to make alcoholic drinks from grapes and corn. The ancient Egyptians drank both wine and beer, and the Greeks carried on a lively trade in wine throughout the Mediterranean. The vines of grapes are all of a single species, Vitis vinifera, although there are hundreds of varieties adapted to different soils and climates.ln.,,,this.,,world.,,there.,,is.,,,a.,creature小学三年级作文题目.。
Wine is the fermented juice of fresh grapes. The juice of the wine grape contains sugar, and the yeast converts the sugar to alcohol, when there is no air present, by process called fermentation. Red wine is made from dark grapes, and white wine from white
奇幻旅程grapes or from dark grapes whose skins have been removed from the wine press at an early stage.
The most famous wine-growing countries are France, Germany and Italy. Wine was made in England in the Middle Ages, but the climate is not really suitable for grapevines. Wines must be drunk quickly once they are opened, otherwise bacteria will use the air to convert the alcohol to vinegar. The bacteria are killed by a higher alcohol content than is found in wine and that is why sherry and port, the specialties of Spain and Portugal, are fortified by the addition of spirits to make them last longer.
Beer is made from sprouting barley grains (malt), which is fermented with yeast to produce alcohol; hops are added for flavour. Ale, the most common drink in England in the Middle Ages, was also made from barley, but without hops; the ale of today is merely a type of beer. In Japan, beer is made from rice.
Spirits have a higher alcoholic content than beer and wine and are made by
distillation from a base of grain or some other vegetable. Gin and Vodka can be distilled from a variety of ingredients, including potatoes; gin is flavoured with juniper berries. Scotch whisky is obtained from a base of fermented barley, and brandy from the
distillation of wine. Rum is derived from sugar cane by fermentation of molasses, a by-product in refining sugar. Cider is made from apples. South American Indians make alcoholic drinks from cactus leaves and the shoots of certain palm trees.
11. The earliest alcoholic drinks were made from ______.
A. rice and potatoes
B. grapes and corn
C. grains and barley
D. apples and berries
12. The colour of the red wine comes mainly from ______.
A. the juice of wine grapes
B. the juice of red grapes
C. the skin of wine grapes
D. the skin of dark-coloured grapes
13. “Fermentation” in the second paragraph refers to ______.
A. a container to keep air from entering the wine
B. a kind of yeast to change sugar into alcohol
C. a meth
od to produce wine through chemical reactions
D. a machine to obtain juice from grapes
14. The purpose of using hops is to ______.
A. convert barley grains into alcohol
B. make English beer better than Japanese beer
