Tokyo is one of those places that you can love and hate at the same time. In Tok

题型:不详难度:来源:
Tokyo is one of those places that you can love and hate at the same time. In Tokyo there are always too many people in the places where I want to go. Of course there are too many cars. The Japanese drive very fast, but in Tokyo they often spend a long time in traffic jams. Tokyo is not different from London, Paris and New York in that, it is different when one wants to walk.
At certain times of the day there are a lot of people on foot in London"s Oxford Street. But the streets near the Ginze in Tokyo always have a lot of people on foot, and sometimes it is really difficult to walk. People are very polite; there are just too many of them.
The worst time to be in the street is at 11:30 at night. That is when the night-clubs are closing and every-body wants to go home. There are 35,000 night-clubs in Tokyo, and you do not often see one that is empty(空的).
During the day, most people travel to and from work by train. Tokyo people buy six million train tickets every day. At most stations, trains arrive every two or three minutes, but at certain hours there do not seem to be enough trains. Although they are usually crowded, Japanese trains are very good.  They always leave and arrive on time.
In Tokyo, I stood outside the station for five minutes. Three fire-engines raced past on the way to one of the many fires that Tokyo has every day. Tokyo has so many surprises that none of them can really surprise me now.
小题1: Tokyo is different from London in that ______________.
A.it has a larger populationB.there are more traffic jams
C.night clubs are sometimes emptyD.it is more difficult to go somewhere on foot
小题2:Fires break out___________ in Tokyo according to the writer.

Recently I paid a visit to Harvard University, where there are top class scientists and professors and the best academic system in the world.
I was very      when I first stepped onto the campus(校园). Well, it’s not even really a campus. It"s      like an area in a small town.
Harvard"s main buildings are from the 18th century.They look very old and      . You might        say they’re a little shabby(破旧). They don’t fit the modern 40   of university at all. The buildings are surrounded by     and trees, so I felt as if I had walked into a castle of the Mid-Ages. But when I looked across the street, the     shops and in-fashion(时尚的) students made me feel like I was in the 21st century       . It creates a strong contrast(对比)and brings a special 41   to the school.
Our tents       Gary took us around told us.“You see this grass field in the center of the school?Here is where they hold their     ceremony .They just set up tents and benches and have a very simple ceremony.” It"s     ! Who would think the most talented students just graduate on the grass?
I      some students put a blanket on the grass and lie down to read a book. When I listened to the soft sound of      turning, along with the singing of the birds, I felt very      .There was no competitive felling at all.
Harvard has the world’s first computer in its science centre      there are hundreds of high-end computers, too. Its religion(宗教) and the literature departments are also     the best. It is the perfect mix of tradition and    technology.It makes Harvard a very attractive place to      in.
I hope one day I’ll      my dream school --- Harvard.

American like to visit the national parks. In 1996, over 250,000,000 people visited areas run by the National Park Service. Experts predict that by 2010, 500,000,000 people per year will visit the parks. As a result, people are trying to think of ways to protect the parks from the crowds.
The crowding of the parks has caused several problems. One is that there is not enough space for all of the people who want to use the parks. To cope with this problem, national parks may require reservations (预约)months in advance for some spots. The Park Service may also raise entrance fees at these places.
Another problem caused by increased park use is pollution. Some garbage and waste can be cleaned up, and the cleanup can be paid for by increased entrance fees. To cut down on noise pollution and air pollution, officials may decrease(减少) the number of cars allowed in parks. If this happens, people may use buses to travel around the parks. Officials may also limit(限制) the use of jet-skis, snowmobiles (摩托雪橇), motorboats, and sightseeing helicopters and planes.
The parks are also threatened by development that is going on around them. For example, around Yellow Stone Park, many motels (汽车旅馆), golf courses, resorts, and other tourist attractions have been built. Some of these developments affect areas that are used by animals. People will have to learn to agree about ways to protect the parks. If they do not, there will soon be no reason to visit these national treasures.
小题1: By 2010, the number of visitors will rise by ______.
A.250 millionB.500 millionC.2.5 billionD.5 billion
小题2:If you want to visit the national parks, you may have to _____ in the future.
A.pay less than beforeB.stay there for months
C.book the ticket before monthsD.fill in a form to apply for the ticket
小题3: Entrance fees may be increased _______.
A.just for the benefit of the National Park Service
B.either to limit the number of visitors or to pay for the cleaner
C.not only to protect the animals but to reduce the noise pollution
D.merely for the development of the national parks
小题4:What does the underlined sentence in the passage mean?
A.People are not supposed to visit the national parks for fear that they will harm the animals.
B.Only if more man-made tourist attractions are built will more people visit the parks.
C.It is reasonable to keep the balance between the development of the parks and the reserve.
D.People will not visit the national parks since there are no golf courses and resorts.
小题5:What can be inferred from the passage?
A.High fees may probably keep some people out of parks.
B.Helicopters and planes will not be used in parks any longer.
C.The bus will become the only tool in parks with the purpose of pollution reduction.
D.The National Park Service welcomes as many visitors as possible.

For a small town, Manhattan, Kansas has some big surprises. And one of them is the Holiday Inn Hotel, with rooms built around a swimming pool and a friendly family atmosphere.
The Holiday Inn is where Manhattan people often go for a special party, or a night out. A lot of them choose to eat in the brightly lighted restaurant near the pool. And many of them will be served by Ellen Logan, who has worked as a waitress here for more than two years.
Ellen, like most of the waitresses, is also a student. She comes from Nebraska, but she’s planning one day to be a veterinary surgeon, and to care for small animals. But in order to support herself at college, she works twenty hours a week at the Holiday Inn.
Ellen soon learned what every waitress finds out. Your best friend has a good pair of shoes. She paid forty -five dollars for hers, much more than she would usually spend. She’s discovered something else too. You don’t have to know much about food to be a good waitress, but you do have to know a lot about people.
“A lot of business people always stay here when they come to Manhattan,” she explains. “They like you to recognize them and remember their favorite dishes. But some couples come for a night out together. They just want to be left alone. Then there are people who can’t make up their minds. They look down the menu and say‘What do you suggest?’So I ask them how hungry they are. If they say, ‘Not very’, I suggest the salad bar, with soup, salad, bread, and a fruit plate. But if they say they’re very hungry, I suggest a Kansas Strip Steak, with potatoes or rice. You get salad and bread as well. It’s very nice. Real good value.”
Ellen may get tired feet sometimes, but at least she’s learning too much about people. She’ll probably make a good animal doctor, but if she find she doesn’t like it after all, she can always become a psychiatrist(心理医生)instead.
小题1:A good title for this passage is______________.
A.Ellen Logan at the Holiday InnB.American Holiday Inn
C.A Special Holiday Inn Hotel in ManhattanD.How to Deal with People
小题2:The word “a veterinary surgeon” probably means____________.
A.an animal doctor.B.an animal trainerC.a hotel managerD.a food expert

A.waitresses in the Holiday Inn are all students
B.waitresses are required to buy a good pair of shoes before they go to work
C.waitresses should be familiar with the food there
D.it is more important for the waitresses to know much about people than food
小题4: According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT true?
A.The Holiday Inn hotel is one of the big surprises in Manhattan.
B.Businessmen like to be recognized by the people and suggested what to eat.
C.Some couples prefer to be left alone without being bothered too much.
D.One of the reasons why people like to eat in the hotel is that it is full of a friendly atmosphere.

Olivia and Jack are the most popular names in Britain for babies born in 2008, according to a survey made by the website Bounty. Jack has been top for 14 years since it took over from Thomas.
Grace — made famous by the Hollywood star Grace Kelly — slipped back into third place behind Ruby, the name of singer Charlotte Church’s daughter.
Summer climbed 28 places from 44th to 16th. Ava — the name of singer Myleene Klass’s daughter — also leapt 15 places to 19th.
The troubles of the singer Amy Winehouse perhaps had an effect on the popularity of the name. It dropped three places to 23rd. Rebecca is also on the wane(变弱), ranking 48th. So is Courtney, which ranked 88th.
Theo, obviously inspired by England’s teenage football hero Theo Walcott, is among the biggest climbers in the boy’s list, rising from 70th to 58th.
An employee of Bounty said, “Baby names have witnessed the biggest changes over the last decade as parents are increasingly influenced by celebrities. The Bounty baby name poll also shows parents are continuing to be creative and inspirational about the names they choose for their children. Some parents want a name that’s totally unique, and names such as Zebedee, Selim and Zenon are now emerging and growing in popularity. Others are simply breaking with convention and becoming bolder in their choice of names.”
“While politicians’ names may be growing in popularity in America, British politicians don’t influence our choice of names in the UK. Traditional royal names continue to be supreme(最高的) in the boys’ top 100,” The employee said.
