On Liberty Island there is a very special statue (塑像) 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 man 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 year of U.S. independence (独立) 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 to, they can then walk up the 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.‎ ‎36. A good title for this selection is__________.‎ A. Famous Sights in the World B. Liberty Island C. The Statue of Liberty D. A Gift from France ‎37. The world “sights”, in the first paragraph means__________.‎ A. a small present or gift. B. a kind of postcard.‎ C. the power of seeing. D. something that you can see.‎ ‎38.We may conclude that the elevator does not__________‎ 9‎ A. go fast enough. B. cost a lot of money.‎ C. go to the top. D. both A and B ‎39. The man who made the part of the statue that we can see on the outside was________.‎ A. an unknown architect. B. Bartholdi. C. Eiffel D. both B and C. ‎ B Traveling without a map in different countries, I find out about different “styles” of directions every time I ask “How can I get to the post office?”‎ Foreign tourists are often confused in Japan because most streets there don’t have name signs; in Japan, people use landmarks in their directions instead of street names. For example, the Japanese will say to travelers, “Go straight down to the corner. Turn left at the big hotel and go past a fruit market. The post office is across from the bus stop.”‎ People in Los Angeles, the US, have no idea of distance on the map: they measure distance by time, not miles. “How far away is the post office?” you ask. “Oh,” they answer, “it’s about five minutes from here.” You don’t understand completely, “Yes, but how many miles away is it, please?” To this question you won’t get an answer, because most probably they don’t know it themselves.‎ People in Greece sometimes do not even try to give directions because tourists seldom understand the Greek language. Instead, a Greek will often say, “Follow me.” Then he’ll lead you through the streets of the city to the post office.‎ Sometimes a person doesn’t know the answer to your question. What happens in the situation? A New Yorker might say, “Sorry, I have no idea.” But in Yucatan, Mexico, no one answers “I don’t know.” People there believe that “I don’t” is impolite. They usually give an answer, but often a wrong one. So a tourist can get lost very easily in Yucatan!‎ However, one thing will help you everywhere in the world. It’s body language.‎ ‎40. Which one of the followings is probably an example of Japanese directions?‎ A. “Go south two miles. Turn west and then go another mile.”‎ B. “Turn right at the hospital and go past a school. The library is right in front of you.”‎ C. “The post office is about five minutes from here”‎ D. “The post office is at Street Kamira.”‎ ‎41. People in Los Angeles don’t give directions in miles because _________.‎ 9‎ A. they use landmarks in their directions instead of distance ‎ B. they prefer to lead you the way C. they often have no idea of distance measured by miles D. they prefer to use body language ‎42. Greeks give directions by __________. ‎ A. using street names B. using landmarks C. leading people the way D. giving people a wrong direction ‎43. Where is Yucatan? ‎ A. In the USA. B. In Japan. C. In Greece. D. In Mexico. ‎ C How much rain has fallen on the earth in the past? Man has not always kept weather records. Because scientists need a way to learn about past rainfall, they study tree rings. A tree’s trunk grows bigger each year. Beneath its bark (树皮), a tree adds a layer of new wood each year it lives. If you look at a tree stump, you can see the layers. They are called annual rings (年轮) On some trees, all of the rings are he same width. But the ponderosa pines (松) that grow in the American southwest have rings of different width. The soil in the southwest is dry. The pines depended on rainfall for water. In a year of good rainfall, they form wide rings. In a dry year, they form narrow ones.‎ Scientists do not have to cut down a pine to study its rings. With a special tool, they can remove a narrow piece of wood from the trunk without harming the tree. Then they look at the width of each ring to see how much rain fell in the year it formed.‎ Some pines are hundreds of years old and have hundreds of rings. These rings form an annual record of past rainfall in the Southwest.‎ ‎44. The story does not say so, but it makes you think that_________.‎ A. a tree grows faster when it has a lot of water.‎ B. scientists cut down trees to study tree rings.‎ C. pine trees form wide rings every year.‎ D. the ponderosa pine grows in the Southwest ‎45. A tree rows a new layer of wood__________.‎ A. each week B. whenever it rains C. every year D. every season ‎46. On the whole, this story is about_________.‎ A. why tree trunks grow bigger. B. why scientists study tree rings.‎ 9‎ C. trees that lived hundreds of years ago.‎ D. the ponderosa pines in the American Southwest.‎ ‎47. Why did the scientists study the width of the tree rings?‎ A. They want to know how big the tree will grow.‎ B. Scientists want to move the pine trees.‎ C. The trees depend on rainfall for water.‎ D. The rings tell them how much rain has fallen.‎ D A young officer was teaching some old soldiers. They had been in the army for many years and did not like officers, young or old.‎ They did not think this young officer could tell them anything about how to fight in a war.‎ Private Jones was nearly sixty years old and had fought in many wars. He had a row of medals on his chest.‎ ‎“Imagine you are in a battle,” the young officer said to him. “You see seven hundred enemy soldiers coming towards you. What do you do?”‎ Private Jones thought for a few moments, and then he said, “I shoot them all with my rifle.”‎ ‎“Now imagine there are seven hundred enemy soldiers coming towards you from the left,” the young officer said, “and seven hundred enemy soldiers coming to you from the right. What do you do?”‎ ‎“I shoot them with my rifle,” Private Jones answered.‎ ‎“OK,” the young officer went on, trying to get the answer he wanted, “but what if there are a thousand enemy soldiers coming at you from the right, a thousand coming at you from the left, and another thousand coming straight towards you. What do you do now?”‎ ‎“I shoot them with my rifle,” Private Jones replied.‎ ‎“But where are you getting all the bullets from?” the young officer demanded.‎ Private Jones smiled. “From the same place you are getting all those enemy soldiers.”‎ ‎48. The old soldiers___________. ‎ A. didn’t like Private Jones B. didn’t like any officers C. wanted to fight in a war D. wanted to become officers ‎49. The young officer kept asking him questions because Private Jones ________. ‎ A. didn’t speak B. was rude to him 9‎ C. was older than he was D. didn’t give him the answer he wanted ‎50. At the end of the story the young officer was probably__________.‎ A. pleased with Private Jones B. annoyed with Private Jones C. delighted with Private Jones D. frightening Private Jones 第二卷 第四部分 英语知识运用 ‎（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）‎ 阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（不多于3个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式。 ‎ Betty: You don’t look well today.
