阅读理解。      Have you ever been to a wedding and simply loved the bride"s bouquet (花束)? More than
likely some part of it was the Hawaiian Wedding Plant. This exotic(外国的) houseplant can be
enjoyed by anyone, not just brides. With a little proper attention and carefully planning on location,
this foreign houseplant, native to Madagascar, can be brought into the home where it can become
an interesting focus.
     Caring for the Hawaiian Wedding Plant is not much different than that of any other houseplants
being in your home. The basic requirements of water, soil, light and a good fertilizer are required for
this beautiful, exotic houseplant. The only difference between this type of houseplant and others is the
amount of the basic requirements that it needs to survive and perform beautifully. During the growing
season, it requires its soil moist(潮湿的), but when winter rolls around, it needs its soil to be kept drier.
     Hawaiian Wedding Plants should also be potted in welldrained soil and placed in a location that
receives full sun to bright shade. Mist the foliage(叶子) daily and feed this plant every two to three
weeks with a slowrelease fertilizer for acidloving plants. Prune(修剪) in early spring, even as early as
February.
     The most special feature of it is its long lasting blooms combined with fabulous fragrance(奇妙的
芳香). The Hawaiian Wedding Plant blooms the heaviest in the spring months, but has been known
to bloom in any warm months, so do not be surprised to find blooms most anytime of the year except
maybe in the dead of winter. When they do bloom, seedpods(豆荚) will often form and should
be allowed to dry while on the vine(藤). Do not pick these seedpods too early and expect to use the
seeds for propagation(繁殖). After the seedpods have been allowed to dry on the vine, the seeds can
be planted in welldraining soil and kept moist until new Hawaiian Wedding Plants begin to grow.
     Everyone can enjoy the Hawaiian Wedding Plant, no matter what of green thumb the gardener may
be lucky enough to have. With a little attention, this beautiful, fragrant flowering exotic houseplant will be
enjoyable for many years to come, not just when attending a wedding.1. Why does the author mention wedding and bouquet in the first paragraph? A. To introduce a Hawaiian wedding.

阅读理解     San Francisco is a spectacular city. It is famous for its steep hills, its earthquakes and the prison island of Alcatraz, but its most famous landmark is the Golden Gate Bridge. This is one of the most beautiful
bridges in the world. It has a simple, graceful shape, and is painted in an attractive orange.
     Work on the Golden Gate Bridge started in 1933 and continued for the next four years. The total cost of the bridge was US$35 million. At that time, its span of 1,200 meters made the Golden Gate Bridge the
longest suspension(悬浮) bridge in the world. The bridge is 2.7 kilometers long and, at the middle point,
70 meters above the water of San Francisco Bay. The main cables that hold the bridge are one meter in
diameter. The bridge can safely withstand(抵挡) winds of up to 160 kilometers an hour, and it can sway(摇摆) as much as 8 meters in strong winds.
     On Thursday, May 27, 1937, 200,000 people walked across the bridge to mark its opening. People
are still allowed to walk across: it takes about half an hour each way. It is worth the effort. As you cross,
you understand the engineering skill that went into the construction of the bridge. You also get wonderful
views of San Francisco and the Bay Area.
      The Golden Gate Bridge has been the scene of many events since it was completed. It was shaken by
the earthquake of 1989. Daredevil(喜欢冒险的) pilots have flown their planes under it. Sadly, too, some people have taken their own lives by jumping from the bridge. But throughout its history, the Golden Gate Bridge has been the symbol of San Francisco, like the Temple of Heaven symbolizes Beijing and the
Eiffel Tower symbolizes Paris1. How many things make San Francisco famous?A. Two (its history and its present).
B. Three (steep hills, earthquakes, the prison island of Alcatraz).
C. Four (Golden Gate Bridge, steep hills, earthquakes, the prison island of Alcatraz).
D. Five (the orange color of the bridge, the shape of the bridge, steep hills, earthquakes, the prison island
of Alcatraz).2. The Golden Gate Bridge has been there for ______ years.A. less than 70
B. more than 70
C. about 15
D. about 503. What is TRUE about the bridge?A. It was greatly damaged by the earthquake in 1989.
B. It can fight back strong winds of up to 180 kilometers an hour.
C. It has caused many deaths since its opening.
D. It is the symbol of the history of San Francisco.

     Normally a student must attend a number of courses in order to graduate, and each course which he
attends gives him a grade which he may count towards a degree. In many American universities the total
work for a degree is made up of thirty-six courses each lasting for one term. Generally, a course is made
up of three classes per week for fifteen weeks; while attending a university a student will probably attend
four or five courses during each term. Normally a student would expect to take four years attending two
terms each year. It is possible to spread the period of work for the degree over a longer period. It is also
possible for a student to move between one university and another during his degree course, though this is not done as a regular practice.
     For every course that follows a student is given a grade, which is recorded, and the student can get it to show his future employers. All this sets a constant pressure and strain of work, but in spite of this some
students still find time for great activities in student affairs. They show much interest in elections to positions in student organizations performed by students who advise the academic authorities (权威人士). Any
student who is thought to have broken the rules, for example, by cheating is to appear before a student
court. With the large numbers of students, the operation of the system has something to do with a certain
amount of activity. A student who has held one of these positions of authority is much respected and it will be of benefit to him later in his career (生涯).

1. Normally a student would at least attend ______ classes each week. A. 36.
B. 12
C. 20
D. 152. According to the first paragraph an American student is allowed ______. A. to live in a different university
B. to take a particular course in a different university
C. to live at home and drive to classes
D. to get degrees from two different universities 3. Some students are interested in positions in student organizations probably because ______. A. they hate the constant pressure and strain of their study
B. they will then be able to stay longer in the university
C. such positions help them get better jobs
D. such positions are usually well paid
