On Liberty Island is a very special statue called Statue
18、of Liberty. It is one of the most famous sights in the world.The Statue of Liberty was a gift from the people of France to the people of the United States. The statue was made by a French sculptor named Frederic Auguste Bartholdi. The inner support system was designed by Gustave Eiffel, the same man
19、 who made the famous Eiffel Tower in Paris.Liberty, of course, means freedom, and the Statue of Liberty was given to the United States to celebrate the one-hundredth anniversary of U. S. independence from England. The statue was built in France, taken apart piece by piece, and then rebuilt inn the U
20、nited States. It was opened for the public on October 28, 1886.As you might expect, the statue is very big. Visitors can ride an elevator from the ground to the bottom of the statue. If they want to, they can then walk up the 168 steps to reach the head of the statue where they can look out and enjo
21、y the beautiful sight of New York.41 A good title for this passage is _.（A）Famous Sights in the World（B） Liberty Island（C） The Statue of Liberty（D）A Gift from France 42 The word “sight“ in the first para. Means _.（A）a small present or gift（B） a kind of postcard（C） the power of seeing（D）something tha
22、t you can see 43 The statue was built _.（A）in France（B） in the United States（C） in England（D）on Liberty Island 44 We may conclude that the elevator does not _.（A）go fast enough（B） cost lots of money（C） go to the top（D）both A B 45 The man who made the part of the statue that we can see on the outside
23、 was _.（A）an unknown architect（B） Bartholdi（C） Eiffel（D）both A B 45 Without proper planning, tourism can cause problems. For example, too many tourists can crowd public places that are also enjoyed by the inhabitants of a country. If tourists create too much traffic, the inhabitants become annoyed a
24、nd unhappy. They begin to dislike tourists and to treat them impolitely. They forget how much tourism can help the countrys economy. It is important to think about the people of a destination and how tourism affects them. Tourism should help a country to keep the customs and beauty that attract tour
25、ists. Tourism should also advance the well-being of local inhabitants.Too much tourism can be a problem. If tourism grows too quickly, people must leave other jobs to work in the tourism industry. This means that other parts of the countrys economy can suffer.On the other hand, if there is not enoug
26、h tourism, people can lose jobs. Businesses can also lose money. It costs a great deal of money to build large hotels, airports, air terminals, first-class roads, and other support facilities needed by tourist attractions. For example, a major international-class tourism hotel can cost as much as 50
27、000 dollars per room to build. If this room is not used most of the time, the owners of the hotel lose money.Building a hotel is just a beginning. There must be many support facilities as well, including roads to get to the hotel, electricity, sewers to handle waste and water. All of these support f
28、acilities cost money. If they are not used because there are not enough tourists, jobs and money are lost.46 Which of the following has most probably been discussed in the para. that goes before the para. ? _.（A）It is extremely important to develop tourism（B） Building roads and hotels are essential（
29、C） Support facilities are highly necessary（D）Planning is of great importance to tourism 47 Too much tourism can cause all the problems except _.（A）a bad effect on other industries（B） a change of tourists customs（C） overcrowding of places of interest（D）heavy traffic 48 Not enough tourism can lead to
30、_.（A）an increase of unemployment（B） a decrease in tourist attraction（C） the higher cost of support facilities（D）a rise in price and a fall in pay 49 Its good for local people to be well aware that tourism will _.（A）use up a large amount of water（B） weaken their economy（C） help keep their customs（D）h
31、elp improve their life 50 The word “handle“ in the last para. Most probably means _.（A）carry away（B） pick up（C） get in（D）take down 50 Time spent in a bookshop can be most enjoyable, whether you are book-lover or merely you are there to buy a book as a present. You may even have entered the shop just
32、 to find shelter from a sudden shower. Whatever the reason, you can soon become totally unaware of your surroundings. The desire to pick up a book with an attractive dust-jacket is irresistible, although this method of selection ought not to be followed, as you might end up with a rather dull book.
33、You soon become engrossed in some book or other, and usually it is only much later that you realize you have spent far too much time there and must dash off to keep some forgotten appointment-without buying a book, of course.This opportunity to escape the realities of everyday life is, I think, the
34、main attraction of a bookshop. There are not many places where it is possible to do this. A music shop is very much like a bookshop. You can wander about these places to your hearts content. If it is a good shop, no assistant approach you with inevitable greeting: “Can I help you?“ you neednt buy an
35、ything you dont want. In a bookshop an assistant should remain in the background until you have finished browsing. Then, and only then, are his services necessary. Of course, you may want to find out where a particular section is, but when he has led you there, the assistant should retire carefully
36、and look as if he is not interested in selling a single book.You have to be careful not to be attracted by the variety of books in a bookshop. It is very easy to enter the shop looking for a book on ancient coins and to come out with a copy of the latest best-selling novel and perhaps a book about b
37、rass-rubbing-something that had vaguely interested you up until then. This volume on the subject, however, happened to be so well illustrated and the part of the text you proved so interesting that you had to but it. This sort of thing can be very dangerous. Apart from running up a huge account, you
38、 can waste a great deal of time wandering from section to section.51 “Dust-jacket“ in the first paragraph probably means _.（A）a kind of clothes（B） protecting paper cover of a book（C） book cover full of dust（D）title of a book 52 You may spend too much time in a bookshop because _.（A）the dust-jackets
39、of some books are very attractive（B） you start reading one of the books（C） it keeps raining outside（D）you have to make sure you dont buy a dull book as a present 53 In a good bookshop _.（A）nobody takes any notice of you（B） the assistant greets you in a friendly way（C） you feel as if you are in a mus
40、ic shop（D）you find yourself satisfied with browsing 54 An assistants help is needed _.（A）as soon as you have entered the shop（B） before you start browsing（C） only when you have finished browsing（D）when you have finished browsing 55 Picking up books that vaguely interest you can be dangerous because
41、_.（A）you may forget about the book you plan to buy（B） you have to give up the best-selling book（C） it makes you break your appointment（D）it costs you too much money and time 55 Most episodes of absent-mindednessforgetting where you left something or wondering why you just entered a roomare caused by
42、 a simple lack of attention, says Schacter. “Youre supposed to remember something, but you havent encoded it deeply.“Encoding, Schacter explains, is a special way of paying attention to an event that has a major impact on recalling it later. Failure to encode properly can create annoying situations.
43、 If you put your mobile phone in a pocket, for example, and dont pay attention to what you did because you are involved in a conversation youll probably forget that the phone is in the jacket now hanging in your wardrobe. “Your memory itself isnt failing you.“ says Schacter. “Rather, you didnt give
44、your memory system the information it needed.“Lack of interest can also lead to absent-mindedness. “A man who can recite sports statistics from 30 years ago,“ says Schacter, “may not remember to drop a letter in the mailbox.“ Women have slightly better memories than men, possibly because they pay mo
45、re attention to their environment, and memory relies on just that.Visual cues can help prevent absent-mindedness, says Schacter. “But be sure the cue is clear and available,“ he cautions. If you want to remember to take a medication with lunch, put the pill bottle on the kitchen table-dont leave it
46、in the medicine chest and write yourself a that that you keep in a pocket.Another common episode of absent-mindedness: walking into a room and wondering why you are there. Most likely, you were thinking about something else. “Everyone does this from time to time,“ says Zelinscki. The best thing to d
47、o is to return to there you were before entering the room, and youll likely remember. 56 Why does the author think that encoding properly is very important? _.（A）It helps us to understand our memory system better（B） It enables us to recall something from our memory（C） It expands our memory capacity
48、considerably（D）It slows down the process of losing our memory 57 One possible reason why women have better memories than men is that _.（A）they have a wide range of interest（B） they are more reliant on the environment（C） they have an unusual power of focusing their attention（D）they are more interested in whats happening around them 58 A note in the pocket can hardly serve as a reminder because _.（A）it will easily get lost（B） its not clear enough for you to treat（C） its out of your sight（D）it might get mixed up with other things 59 Wha
