阅读理解题 1、
In the water around New York city is a very small island called Liberty Island. On Liberty Island there is a very special statue called the Statue 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 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 in the United 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, they can then walk up 168 steps to reach the head of the statue where they can look out and enjoy the beautiful sight of the city of New York.(10分) 1、1.A good title for this selection is ____c__.（单选题） A、Famous Sights in the world B、Liberty Island C、The Statue of Liberty D、A city in France 2、2.The word "sights"in the first paragraph means ______.（单选题） A、a small present or gift B、a kind of postcard C、the power of seeing D、something that you can see 3、3.The statue was built ______.（单选题） A、in France B、in the United States C、in England D、on Liberty Island 4、4.We may conclude that the elevator does not ______.（单选题） A、go fast enough B、cost lots of money C、go to the top D、both A and B 5、5.The man who made the part of the statue that we can see on the outside was ______.（单选题） A、an unknown architect B、Bartholdi C、Eiffel D、both B and C 2、
Down the entrance hall of the school walk four eighth-grade students. Each one is carrying a small basket with a single egg inside. Soon more students join them-each one of them is also carrying a basket with an egg. The eggs in a basket are part of a new school program that helps young people understand that having a baby is a great duty.
At the beginning of the program, the teacher puts the students in pairs-one girl and one boy. Each pair gets an egg, which they must take care of for two weeks. For those fourteen days, the students have to take care of the eggs as though they were real babies. Students whose eggs get broken have to start the two weeks all over again with a new egg.
One person in each pair must have the egg with him or her at all times-twenty-four hours a day. At no time can they let the egg be out of sight. "If a teacher catches you without your egg," said one student, "she makes you go get it. They are really strict." The teachers also make the students spend half an hour each day sitting with the egg and just watching it. That can get pretty boring. But it’s also something that parents spend a lot of time doing.
Children say that the program has helped them understand the duties involved in having a child. "It was really hard," said one student, "You had to think all the time about the egg."(10分) 1、1.The purpose of the program is to help students grasp the idea of ______.（单选题） A、carrying a basket with an egg B、bringing up a baby C、laying eggs D、studying hard at school 2、2.At the beginning, ______.（单选题） A、At the beginning, ______. B、four students in all were interested in the program C、eight students became members of the program D、more students than teachers liked the program 3、3.In the third line of Paragraph 2, "they" refers to ______.（单选题） A、teachers B、students C、eggs D、programs 4、4.Why should the students in the program spend half an hour each day sitting with an egg and just watching it?（单选题） A、Because it is very boring to have the egg with them at all times. B、Because the teachers in this program are very strict. C、Because only in this way can students understand parents in taking care of children. D、Because if students do not do it, they will fail in the examination. 5、5.From the last paragraph, we can infer that ______.（单选题） A、a program is the only way to educate children B、one has to think about a program all the time C、only one child grasps the purpose of the program D、the program is of help to children’s understanding of parents 3、
Like many of my generation, I have a weakness for hero worship. At some point, however, we all begin to question our heroes and our need for them. This leads us to ask: What is a hero?
Despite huge differences in cultures, heroes around the world generally share a number of characteristics that instruct and inspire people.
A hero does something worth talking about. A hero has a story of adventure to tell and a community who will listen. But a hero goes beyond mere fame.
Heroes serve powers or principles larger than themselves. Like high-voltage transformers (变压器), heroes take the energy of higher powers and step it down so that it can be used by ordinary people.
The hero lives a life worthy of imitation. Those who imitate a genuine hero experience life with new depth, enthusiasm, and meaning. A sure test for would-be heroes is what or whom do they serve? What are they willing to live and die for? If the answer or evidence suggests they serve only their own fame, they may be famous persons but not heroes. Madonna and Michael Jackson are famous, but who would claim that their fans find life more meaningful?
Heroes are catalysts (催化剂) for change. They have a vision from the mountaintop. They have the skill and the charm to move the masses. They create new possibilities. Without Gandhi, India might still be part of the British Empire. Without Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King, Jr., we might still have segregated (隔离的) buses, restaurants, and parks. It may be possible for large-scale change to take place without leaders with attractive personalities, but the pace of change would be slow, the vision uncertain, and the committee meetings endless. (10分) 1、1.What does the first sentence “Like many of my generation, I have a weakness for hero worship.” in the first paragraph mean?（单选题） A、Many of my generation and I are not strong enough to be heroes. B、Many of my generation and I are too weak to worship heroes. C、Many of my generation and I do not worship heroes. D、Many of my generation and I worship heroes. 2、2.Which of the following is NOT one of heroes’ characteristics?（单选题） A、Doing something worth talking about. B、Having a story of adventure to tell. C、Listening to the opinions of his community. D、Serving powers or principles larger than themselves. 3、3.According to the fourth paragraph, in what sense are heroes like high-voltage transformers?（单选题） A、They instruct and inspire different cultures with their deeds. B、They set very good examples for ordinary people to follow. C、Their characteristics give ordinary people strength and confidence. D、They receive high energy and transform it into heroic action. 4、4.In which of the following aspects famous people are different from heroes?（单选题） A、Heroes go beyond mere fame. B、Famous people serve only their own fame. C、They are willing to live different lives. D、Both A and B. 5、5.It can be inferred from the last paragraph that______.（单选题） A、heroes quicken the speed of historical changes B、heroes change possibilities into reality C、historical changes are impossible without heroes D、heroes with attractive personalities will certainly bring about large-scale change 4、
Although America is such a huge country，traveling is really very quick and easy. There are three ways to get across the country without a car：planes，trains and buses. Air travel is the most expensive of the three but in many ways the easiest and most comfortable. There are hundreds of flights a day crossing the country，and it is easy to make a reservation（预订）. Traveling by train is cheaper than by airplane. But it costs more than by bus and there are few passenger（旅客）trains. On the trains there are dining cars and bars where meals are served quickly. If you are spending the night on the train you can pay for a “roomette” which is a small room with a bed and a toilet. The most inexpensive way to travel is by bus. There are fast bus services between cities，for example，the Greyhound Bus Service. You can buy special tickets that allow you unlimited travel for a certain period of time. In this way you can stop along the way to visit the places that interest you most.
If you need to travel long distances frequently,however,you’ll have to decide which way is the most suitable for you.Hardly anyone can positively enjoy sitting in a train for more than a few hours. It is almost impossible to take your mind off the journey. Reading is only a partial solution. During the day，sleep comes in snatches（瞬间）. At night，when you really wish to go to sleep，you rarely manage to do so. Inevitably you arrive at you destination almost exhausted. Long car journeys are even less pleasant，for it is quite impossible even to read. On motorways you can，at least，travel safely at high speeds，but the greater part of the journey is spent on narrow，bumpy roads that are crowded with traffic.
By comparison，trip by sea offers a great variety of civilized comforts. You can stretch your legs on the spacious decks（甲板），play games，swim，meet interesting people and enjoy good food. However，if the sea is rough，you are likely to get seasick. Even if you travel in ideal weather，sea journeys take a long time.(10分) 1、1.If you want to travel easily and comfortably，you should choose to go ___.（单选题） A、by sea B、by plane C、by train D、by bus 2、2.Compared with air travel，traveling by train ____.（单选题） A、is cheap but comfortable B、is not so easily available C、offer better and quicker meals D、requires you to pay for a “roomette” 3、3.Which of the following is the advantage of bus service?（单选题） A、It’s the cheapest and least comfortable way of traveling. B、It allows passengers to travel between different cities. C、It sells special tickets that make it convenient for passengers to take. D、It travels safely at high speeds. 4、4.24. The second paragraph mainly talks about____.（单选题） A、the way of traveling you had better choose B、what you can do on your journey to kill the time C、reading and sleep on your journey when you travel by train and by bus D、the disadvantages of traveling by train and by bus 5、5.Which of the following is NOT mentioned about trip by sea?（单选题） A、You can find more space to stretch yourself. B、You have different choices to enjoy yourself. C、You should have enough time and prepare for seasickness. D、You should never travel in bad weather.
第2题
To answer this question we must consider certain facts about geography, history and economies. Together these three will explain the huge growth of America's most famous city.
The map of the Northeast shows that four of the most heavily-populated areas in this region are around seaports. At these points materials from across the sea enter America, and the products of the land are sent there for export across the sea.
Economists know that places where transportation lines meet are good places for making raw materials into completed goods. That is why seaports often have cities nearby. But cities like New York needed more than their geographical location in order to become great industrial centers. Their development did not happen simply by chance.
About 1815, when many Americans from the east coast had already moved to the west, trade routes from the ports to the central regions of the country began to be a serious problem. The slow wagons of that time, drawn by horses or oxen, were too expensive for moving heavy freight very far. Americans had long admired Europe's canals. In New York State a canal seemed the best solution to the transportation problem. From the eastern end of Lake Erie all the way across the state to the Hudson River there is a long trip of low land. Here the Erie Canal was constructed. After working for several years it was completed in 1825.
The canal produced an immediate effect. Freight costs were cut to about one-tenth of what they had been. New York City, which had been smaller than Philadelphia and Boston, quickly became the leading city of the coast. In later years, transportation routes on the Great Lakes were joined to routes on the Mississippi River. Then New York City became the end point of a great inland shipping system that extended from the Atlantic Ocean far up the western branches of the Mississippi.
The new railroads made canal shipping not as important as before, but it tied New York even more closely to the central regions of the country. It was easier for people in the central states to ship their goods to New York for export overseas.
Exports from New York were greater than imports. Consequently, shipping companies were eager to fill their ships with passengers on the return trip from Europe. Passengers could come from Europe very cheaply as a result.
Thus New York became the greatest port for receiving people from European countries. Many of them remained in the city. Others stayed in New York for a few weeks, months, or years, and then moved to other parts of the United States. For these great numbers of new Americans, New York had to provide homes, goods, and services. Their labor helped the city become great.
Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?
A．The Development of Transportation in New York.
B．Exports and Imports of New York.
C．How New York Became America's Largest City?
D．How New York Exchanged with Europe?

The New York Stock Exchange(NYSE)is the largest stock market in the world and also the oldest financial market in the United States where billions of dollars worth of stock change hands each day.
The exchange evolved from a meeting where 24 brokers and merchants signed the historic "Buttonwood Agreement" to trade a handful of securities on what is now Wall Street in New York City in 1792. It was formally constituted as the New York Stock and Exchange Board in 1817. The present name was adopted in 1863. Today, 2,800 companies trade their shares on the NYSE. These companies are all publicly traded. (9)
The NYSE is owned by its members. A membership is traditionally called a seat. Membership, limited to 1,366 since 1953, is obtained by purchasing(since 1868)a seat from an existing member.
Unlike some of the newer exchanges, the NYSE still uses a large trading floor in order to conduct its transactions. (10) This is called the open outcry system and it usually produces fair market pricing.
Only the highest quality companies can choose to list their securities on the NYSE. To be considered for an NYSE listing, companies must meet strict financial and regulatory criteria. (11) And once they do, the NYSE plays a unique role in providing deep and liquid markets for the trading of those securities, benefiting all investors, large and small. Listed companies pay both initial listing fees and annual fees.
When companies first list on the NYSE, the company's top officials are often invited to ring the Opening Bell on the NYSE Trading Floor. (12)
In addition to having the highest overall listing standards of any securities marketplace in the world, the NYSE is among the world's most well-recognised brand names. (13)
In the more than two centuries that have followed, the NYSE has continued to adapt and evolve into the world's largest global equities marketplace. (14) Its mission is to add value to the capital-raising and asset-management process by providing the highest-quality and most cost-effective marketplace for the trading of financial instruments, to promote confidence in and understanding of that process, and to serve as a forum for discussion of relevant national and international policy issues.
A Issuers that list with the NYSE benefit from association with this brand name while gaining access to the world's largest, most liquid market for the trading of their securities.
B Even meeting these requirements is not a guarantee that the NYSE will list the company.
C That means any investor can buy their stock.
D Many new exchanges have stopped using the trading floor to conduct their transactions.
E It is here that the representatives of buyers and sellers, professionals known as brokers, meet and shout out prices at one another in order to strike a deal.
F The NYSE has remained unwavering in its commitment to customers and to building a truly global marketplace with great breadth of product and geographic reach.
G It was formally constituted as the New York Stock and Exchange Board in 1817.
H Ringing the Bell, which signals the start and close of the trading day, is part of the NYSE's rich heritage and signifies the opportunities the financial markets provide.
