阅读理解。     The World Expo 2010 Shanghai China is to be staged in Shanghai from May 1 to October 31, 2010. If you
plan to visit the Shanghai Expo this summer, the China Pavilion is a must-see area for you.
     The China Pavilion, which is called Oriental Crown (东方之冠), is located at the center of the Expo site.
Standing 63 meters tall, the China Pavilion takes the shape of an emperor"s crown, with the upper layers larger
than the lower ones. Covering 160,000 square meters in floor space, the pavilion consists of a national hall and
a regional hall. Construction on the China Pavilion began on Dec. 18, 2007. The design of the China Pavilion
was picked from a total of 344 designs put forward by Chinese from around the world. The pavilion possesses
both traditional and modern features, which helps develop the theme of the 2010 Expo "Better City, Better Life".
For example, it is red in appearance, which contains the elements of traditional Chinese culture, and it is green
indoors, with the use of energy-saving techniques. The Shanghai World Expo is expected to attract 70 million
visitors from across the globe. It is estimated that 400,000 people will visit the Expo and its 140 pavilions every
day during the period, but the China Pavilion is only able to receive about one tenth of the total. How to
accommodate so many people in the pavilion remains a tough task. Luckily, the China Pavilion is built as a
permanent landmark.
     During the Expo, the main structure will be used for an exhibition based on the theme of "Chinese wisdom
in urban development" by explaining the values of harmony, nature and spirit. The three-story pavilion has three
sections. The top floor"s "Footprint of the East" will show some of the changes in Chinese cities. There, you can
see a film which shows how Chinese cities have changed, especially in the past 30 years. According to Lu
Chuan, director of the film, the scenery is like something from The Lord of the Rings. On the second floor,
"Journey of Wisdom" will explain China"s four great inventions. And the ground"s "Blossoming City" will display
scenes from cities of the future. 1. Which of the following words can be used to describe the China Pavilion? [     ]
A. Tiny.
B. Round.
C. Foreign.
D. Environment-friendly. 2. The China Pavilion can receive _____ visitors at most per day. [     ]
A. 40,000
B. 400,000
C. 100,000
D. 20,000 3. We can infer that _____. [     ]

B. the China Pavilion will probably continue to be open to visitors after the Expo is over
C. you can continue to visit the Japanese Pavilion after the Expo is over
D. some foreign friends took part in the designs of the China Pavilion 4. On the second floor of the China Pavilion, you can _____. [     ]

阅读理解。     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 pretty shocked when I first stepped onto the campus. Well, it"s not even really a campus. it"s more
like a district in a small town.
     Harvard"s main buildings are from the 18th century. They look very old and simple. You might even say
they"re a little shabby. They don"t fit the modern idea of university at all. The buildings are surrounded by
grass and trees, so I felt as if I had walked into a medieval (中世纪的) castle. But when I looked across the
street, busy shops and in-fashion students made me feel like I was in the 21st century again. It creates a strong
contrast and brings a special atmosphere to the school.
    Our tour guide Gary took us around and told us:"You see this grass field in the center of the school? Here
is where they host their graduation ceremony. They just set up tents and benches and have a very simple
ceremony," Unbelievable! Who would think the most talented students just graduate on the lawn?
     I saw some students put a blanket on the grass and lie down to read a book. When I listened to the soft
sound of pages turning, along with chirping of the birds, I felt very much calm. There was no competitive
feeling at all.
     Harvard has the world"s first computer in its science center and there are hundreds of high-end computers
too. Its religion and literature department are also among the best. It is the perfect mix of tradition and new
technology. It makes Harvard a very attractive place to study in. 1. What is the article mainly about?[     ]
A. The academic atmosphere in Harvard University.
B. The life of Harvard students.
C. The author"s impression of Harvard.
D. The author"s dream 2. When you walk in Harvard University, what do you find except that _____.[     ]
A. Some students read books on the grass
B. all building were built in the 18th century
C. Harvard is more like a district in a small town than a campus
D. there is a grass field where the graduation ceremony is held 3. Which field are among the best in the world? A. Literature, religion and architecture
B. Religion, computer and architecture
C. Literature, religion and computer
D. Literature, computer and architecture

     English has borrowed a lot of words from other languages in history. English borrowed words mainly from
French, German, Italian and Arabic.
     Borrowed words from French contain words for food and eating such as restaurant, words for jobs such
as dentist and words for relaxation such as ballet. At weddings in the west, they have confetti which people
throw over the newly-weds. This is an Italian word, meaning the small pieces of colored paper. What"s more,
Italy was famous for music and opera in the 18th century, so English borrowed many words for music and
opera from Italian. In the early times, Italians liked to be at war with other countries, words for military jobs,
for example, colonel, also became an English word.
    One reason that so many German words in English is that the Germans were very clever at inventing things.
They invented the clock to ensure they were on time. Englishmen also use clock for this purpose in English.
Many of the words for fast food or snacks in English also come from German, including the famous hamburger.
     We all know the fact that the Arabs were good traders and they brought in many Arabic words in English,
such as coffee and alcohol. We all use Arabic numbers, and zero is an Arabic English word.
     English has borrowed many words from other languages and, of course, it will.

     When you arrive at the Shanghai Expo site, the first thing you will see is a huge red building in the ancient
Chinese dougong (斗拱) architectural (建筑的) style. Built according to the concept of "Oriental Crown", the
China Pavilion (展厅) is the largest national pavilion at the Expo.
     Themed "Search of the East", the pavilion is divided into three sections. Footprint of the East on the top
floor shows the change of Chinese cities; a Journey of Wisdom on the second floor, China"s four great
inventions-the compass, paper, printing and gunpowder are displayed; and Blossoming (盛开的) City on the
ground floor shows the scenery of future cities.
     Take a lift, and you"ll be taken to the 8,500-square-meter top floor. There, in a film by Lu Chuan, you"ll see
how Chinese cities have changed, especially over the past 30 years. The 10-minute movie is shown in a 600-
