Most Americans enjoy moving from place to place. For example, they often drive their cars 120 to 160 kilometres away just to have dinner with a friend or even fly to London or Paris just to watch a football match. In some states only one person in five lives in a place for more than five years. One may be born in one city, and go to school in another. He may finish his middle school in two or three cities, and then go to college far across the country. When he begins to work, he may possibly move from job to job. Moving from one job to another, which is called “job-hopping”, can be seen in many places in the United States.

小题3:词义猜测题。由第一段最后一句话“Moving from one job to another, which is called “job-hopping（从一个工作转移到另一个工作，这种行为被称为"跳槽）”,”可知“job-hopping”是不停地换工作 。 故选C。
小题4:细节理解题。由第一段最后一句话“job-hopping”, can be seen in many places in the United States.（在美国很多地方可以看到跳槽）”可知跳槽在美国很常见 。 故选A。

Hanging Gardens of Babylon(巴比伦空中花园)

The Hanging Gardens of Babylon were built in the 7th century BC and are considered one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. The Hanging Gardens of Babylon were amazing not only because of their beauty, but also because of their location.
In the 7th century BC a king named Nebudchadnezzar II created the gardens as a sign of love for his wife, Amyitis. According to legend, Amyitis, the daughter of the king of the Medes, was homesick. She missed the green hills and valleys of her homeland.
Upon marrying Nebudchadnezzar II, Amyitis moved to the ancient chief city of Babylon. The area was in the Mesopotamian desert, and the climate there was totally different from where she had left. So the new queen was very sad about the flat and the sun-baked desert. To make Amyitis happier and more comfortable the king decided to build her a series of magnificent gardens.
Many think of the gardens as an otherworldly creation that hung in the air somehow. But experts agree that the gardens were actually built on a mountainside, rather than actually “hanging”.
The hanging Gardens of Babylon are famous. Stories of them spread throughout the ancient world, and ancient writers recorded a large number of descriptions of the gardens, but some wonder whether this paradise of the past ever existed. There are no historical records of it except stories. Whatever may happen, even the idea of the Hanging Gardens of Babylon is amazing. They were essentially impossible to create because of the climate, but they were kept in the minds of many as a botanical beauty created in the middle of unattractive desert scenery.
小题1:Hanging Gardens of Babylon are considered one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, aren’t they?
小题2:What makes the Hanging Gardens of Babylon so amazing and famous?
小题3:Why did the king Nebudchadnezzar II create Hanging Gardens of Babylon?
小题4:What made the Hanging Gardens of Babylon essentially impossible to create?
小题5:According to the experts, were the Hanging Gardens of Babylon really hanging or built on a mountainside?
小题6:Did Hanging Gardens of Babylon really exist? What makes you think so? (In no more than THREE sentences)
