32、ident.（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.BWater, water everywhere. It lasted almost two months, but in August it ended. It left 45 people dead and $10 billion worth of damage in nine states of USA. It was quite a big Mississippi flood ever recorded.In St. Louis, Missouri, 9,000 people were forced to leave their homes

33、 while the city was in danger. St. Louis is just downriver from the points where the Missouri and Illinois Rivers flow into the Mississippi. All three rivers were flooding. But the city escaped the worst when levees (堤) broke upriver. A levee is built of fiver sand and clay (粘土).Eleven miles of floo

34、d walls were built in the late 1960s. The walls are 18 inches thick and 5 to 22 feet high. They were designed to protect against a 52-foot flood.

37、n Miami is a restaurant called Versailles, which also has lots of mirrors on its walls. It has been on Eighth Sweet and Thirty-Fifth Avenue for many years and shares the same name with the famous French palace. One goes to the Versailles not only to be seen, but to be multiplied (复制). This old, chea

38、p, noisy restaurant that serves basic Cuban food is wonderful for the self-absorbed: people who like themselves very much. Because of the bright light, even the windows reflect (反射), the Versailles is a place where you can lunch, but you cant hide.For years I have had the idea that those mirrors kee

39、p the blurred image (模糊影像) of every- one who has walked past before them. I think the mirrors have a memory. Every Cuban who has lived or set foot in Miami over the last 30 years has, at one time or another, seen himself or herself reflected on those shiny surfaces. Miami is a Cuban city not only be

40、cause of the number of Cubans who live there but also because of the number who have died there. The Versailles is a shiny place where dead people are buried. The history of Little Havana is written on those walls. This may have been why, when the mirrors came down in 1991, there was such anger agai

41、nst it that some of them had to be put back. The Hall of Mirrors is also a house of spirits.（分数：4.00）(1).What is most special about Versailles according to the writer?A.

44、ne of the cheapest in Miami.C. The restaurant often holds picture exhibitions.D. The Cubans are unwilling to accept any changes.（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.CAs a result of pollution, Lake Erie, on the borders of the U. S. A. and Canada, now does not have many living things.Pollution in water is not simply a ma

45、tter of “poisons“ killing large numbers of fish overnight.Very often the effects of pollution are not noticed until many months or years later because the first organisms (生物) to be affected are either plants or planktons (浮游生物). These organisms are the food of fish, birds, and other creatures. When

46、 this food disappears, the fish and birds would die too. In this way a whole food chain can be wiped out, and it is not until dead fish and water birds are found at the rivers edge or on the sea shore that people realize what is happening.Where do the substances that pollute the water come from? The

47、re are two main sources, sewage (生活污水) and industrial waste. As more detergent (洗涤剂) is used in the homes, more of it is finally put into our rivers, lakes and seas. Detergent harms water birds by breaking down the natural substances which keep their feathers waterproof. Sewage itself, if not proper

48、ly treated, makes the water dirty and prevents all forms of life in rivers and the sea from receiving the oxygen they need. Industrial waste is even more harmful since there are more highly poisonous materials in it, such as copper and lead.So, if we want to stop this pollution, the answer is simple

49、 Sewage and industrial waste must be made clean before flowing into rivers and seas. It may be already too late to save some rivers and lakes, but others can be saved if the correct action is taken at once.（分数：4.00）(1).Pollution in water is noticed _. A. when poisons are poured into waterB. when a great many fish and birds dieC. when the first organisms are affectedD. as soon as the balance of nature is destroyed（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(2).
