With a population of 744, 000，it is one of the largest cities in the world that can not be reached by water. However，Indianapolis is a city through which many railways，roads，buses，and planes pass. There are many factories which make trucks，farm tools，and electrical things. These factories cause little pollution for the city. Butler University，well-known for engineering，and the law and medical school of Indiana University are in the city centre. Nearby is the Indianapolis race course，where the nations most famous car race is held each year on May 30th. If you visited Indianapolis you would be able to find your way around easily because most of the streets cross each other like a chessboard(棋盘). In the centre of the city，called the Circle，stands the Soldiers and Sailors Monument，100 metres high. Also in the centre there are many buildings made of the famous Indian stone，which makes them white in colour. 56. From the text，what do we learn about the size of Indianapolis? A. It is the largest city in the U. S. A. . B. It has a chessboard in the centre. C. It has a population of under a million. D. It is one of the largest cities in the world. 57. What is Indianapolis best known for? A. Its yearly car race. B. Its schools and libraries. C. Its universities and medical schools. D. Its Soldiers and Sailors Monument. 58. You can NOT travel to Indianapolis by _ . A. boatB. trainC. carD. bike59. It is easy for a stranger to go about in the city because _ . A. most of the buildings are in the centre of the cityB. there are many different ways of travelling thereC. the buildings are very close to each otherD. the city is planned in squares(B)Until New Yorks Chrysler Building was completed in 1930，the Eiffel Tower was the tallest structure in the world. Located by the river Seine，on an avenue named after its designer，this 985-foot(300-meter) tower is the most famous building in the city of Paris. Gustave Eiffels idea was certainly chosen from among 700 proposals(提议) to represent the city in the International Exhibition of Paris in 1889. It was built for the 100th anniversary of the French Revolution. In 1887，three hundred steel workers spent two years constructing the 7, 000-ton tower. Yet，it was almost torn down two decades after its completion. Luckily，its antenna(天线), used for telegraphy at the time，saved it. Last July，it looked to observers as though the tower might be destroyed after all，as ominous(不吉利的) black clouds of smoke encircled the structure. Luck was again smiling upon the tower: the fire turned out to be a small one that was quickly put out by attendants on duty. To date，more than 200 million people have visited the Eiffel Tower. However，it has not always been a beloved tourist attraction. At first，Parisians disliked it. Its architectural style and metallic composition were not considered pleasing. Today，the Eiffel Tower is equipped with special lights that sparkle for ten minutes each hour，from sunset until one a. m. . If you happen to be passing by，look up at this breathtaking monument for an astonishing sight. The Eiffel Tower，composed of iron and steel，is greater than the sum of its parts. 60. When was the Eiffel Tower almost torn down? A. In 1907. B. In 1909. C. In 1889. D. In 2003. 61. If you wanted to see the Eiffel Tower sparkle，when might you stop by? A. 1: 15 a. m.B. 3: 30 p. m. C. 9: 10 p. m. D. 0: 00 a. m. 62. At first，what did Parisians think about the tower? A. The steel and iron parts were unimpressive. B. The awe-inspiring design was attracting. C. Both A and B are correct. D. Neither A nor B is correct. 63. Which word can take the place of the underlined word? A. Built. B. Made. C. Changed. D. Found. (C)Solar-powered bus shelters are to be introduced throughout the west of Scotland. Transport chiefs have decided that where there is darkness there should be light and are to install hundreds of the eco-friendly(对环境无害的)shelters across Glasgow as well as neighbouring towns and villages. They plan to use the power of the sunwith the help of long life batteriesto light the shelters. Traditionally，lit shelters feature illuminated (加了灯饰的)advertisements and as a result the electricity bills are paid by the private sector. There are almost 1, 700 lit shelters but passengers are actually kept in the dark at night when using more than 2, 700 others. Today，however，officials at Strathclyde Partnership for Transport got the green light to introduce solar powered shelters. They carried out a year-long test at 13 bus stops in Glasgow and another two in East Kilbride. The trial was such a success that SPT chiefs plan a rolling programme which will result in up to 100 shelters being replaced every year with solar-powered ones.“Within the last few years technology has advanced and trials have shown that using solar power to illuminate bus shelters is now practicable. The technology is simple to maintain，needing only regular cleaning and batteries being replaced every five to seven years. ”Going green，however，doesnt come cheap. The cost of installing just one solar-powered shelter comes in at 1, 425，so replacing all 2, 700 of the currently unlit shelters will run up an eventual bill of 3. 8 million. 64. Traditionally，the electricity bills of lit shelters are paid by private companies. Why? ABecause the shelters belong to private companies. BBecause the government force private companies to pay the bills. CBecause private companies make advertisements on the shelters. DBecause it is a tradition to pay the bills by private companies. 65How many shelters does the passage refer to? AAlmost 1, 700. BMore than 2, 700. C100. DAbout 4, 400. 66SPT carried out a year-long test to find _ . Awhether it is possible to use solar-powered sheltersBwhether it is possible to replace all the shelters in one yearCwhich is cheaper，to use electricity from the mains supply or to use solar powerDhow much money it will cost to replace all 2, 700 of the currently unlit shelters67Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? AOnly solar-powered bus shelters are used throughout the west of Scotland. BThe one-year-long test carried out by officials at SPT was a failure. CSolar power is not only environment-friendly but also cheap. DUsing solar-powered shelters is environment-friendly but not cheap. (D)Skyscrapers (摩天大楼)and domed (拱形的) stadiums can amaze us. These modern “wonders of the world” are great achievements in building. But our modern buildings may seem small when compared to some ancient structures. Our buildings may be large，hold many people，and protect us. However，many ancient structures stand as some of the greatest achievements in building. Ancient builders used great creativity and physical strength to plan and complete them. Stonehenge is a huge stone circle in Europe. It was built more than 4, 000 years ago. The circle has stone slabs (厚板) that stand up to 30 feet tall. The heaviest stones in the circle weigh about 50 tons. How did people build Stonehenge without modern equipment? Scientists have studied it for years and think it probably took more than 30 million hours to complete the project. Tourists in Africa like to see the Great Pyramids of Egypt. These tombs for Egyptian kings were built over 4, 000 years ago. Each tomb has walls shaped like triangles (三角形) and a square (正方形的) base. The largest pyramid is more than 450 feet tall and contains more than two million stones. Each stone weighs more than two tons. Some even weigh as much as 200 tons. More than 900 workers worked to move the largest stones into place. The stone faces are unusual structures on Easter Island. The faces are 12 to 20 feet high. Islanders made them more than 1, 000 years ago. We do not know why they built them. There are more than 600 stone faces on the island. The great number is surprising，since Easter Island is only 11 miles long and 15 miles wide. These give only a glimpse of the ancient achievements in building. If we look back through history，we can find many more examples of marvelous (非凡的) structures built without the aid of modern tools and equipment. 68. What does the underlined sentence (in Paragraph 1) mean? A. Ancient structures are taller than modern buildings. B. Modern buildings seem smaller than ancient structures. C. Modern buildings cant be compared to ancient structures. D. Ancient structures are greater achievements than modern ones. 69. According to the passage，we know that _ . A. it is unbelievable to have so many stone faces on Easter IslandB. Stonehenge was completed by more than 900 workersC. the heaviest stone for the faces weighs about 50 tonsD. one pyramid needs 600 pieces of stone70. What is the main idea of this passage? A. Modern builders have learned a great deal by studying ancient structures. B. Modern builders have shown great creativity in the structures they have made. C. Ancient builders created some finest structures without modern methods or materials. D. Ancient builders could not create structures as great as modern ones. (E)It is quite reasonable to blame traffic jams, the cost of gas and the great speed of modern life, but manners on the road are becoming horrible. Everybody knows that the nicest men would become fierce tigers behind the wheel. It is all right to have a tiger in a cage, but to have one in the drivers seat is another matter. Road politeness is not only good manners, but good sense too. It takes the most cool-headed drivers great patience to give up the desire to beat back when forced to face rude driving. On the other hand, a little politeness goes a long way towards reducing the po
