When I learned about this city on the Internet I decided to pay a visit to it. The city has a certain charm, but I find it isn't as great as other Italian cities like Verona, let alone (更不用说)Venice or Rome. The Michelin Green Guide gives it two stars, which is right. I first visited the city centre. The Cathedral and Castello Estense are at the heart of the city. Both have striking appearances. I visited the Cathedral first. Castello Estense is also worth visiting, which owes its name to the powerful Este family. It was built with bricks and surrounded by a moat (护城河). At the lower levels, the history of the city and the Este family are told through displays, and in another part the ceilings are shown through mirrors on the ground. In the north, we can appreciate the Renaissance extension of the town, with straight streets and monumental houses. The famous Palazzo dei Diamanti lies here. When I was visiting it, it started to rain, so after taking a few photos quickly, I cut my visit there short. It had been raining for a few days. When the rain stopped, I went to visit the historical centre and the Renaissance buildings. After leaving there, I visited several other interesting places such as palaces and the narrow streets of the downtown. After four hours in Ferrara I left by train to Mantua. There I had a much better time. 24. Why did the author pay a visit to Ferrara? A. Because it is related to the Renaissance. B. Because it is full of charm. C. Because it is a very famous city in Europe. D. Because it is strongly recommended by a website. 25. What did the author think of The Michelin Green Guide's comment on Ferrara? A. Ridiculous. B. Reasonable. C. Unacceptable. D. Unbelievable. 26. How could Castello Estense probably get its name according to the text? A. It came from the historical buildings. B. It originated from the straight streets. C. It was named after the powerful Este family. D. It was connected to the surrounding moat. 27. What can we infer from the text？ A. The writer thought Ferrara was as great as Venice. B. The writer visited Palazzo dei Diamanti for a long time. C. The writer was much more satisfied with the tour in Mantua than in Ferrara. D. The writer was disappointed with the visit to the Cathedral and Castello Estense.a C Maybe it's because it was our first purchase as homeowners. The salesman must have spotted just how green we were, so he began persuading us. And soon he led us to a classic leather chair. All these years later, I remember he used words like rich and handsome, the thing every living room needed. So we bought that chair -- just less than $100, a great deal in the 1970s for a young couple! How we loved that chair! It always occupied a place of honor in our various living rooms, moving with us from our first tiny house to our beloved new house. Somehow, conversations were better on that chair, and life was more fun around it. Three daughters spilled their secrets on it. Old friends seemed to be attracted by it on those wonderful occasions. Crazy as it sounds, that leather chair seemed to have -- well, powers. All for good. At first, we didn't really care that the leather was showing signs of wear or that it had lost its sheen (光泽). But in our most recent move, when the chair was moved in our new living room, it suddenly looked terribly lonely sitting close to newly painted walls and a couple of shiny new tables. My husband and I tried but still we couldn't ignore the rough spots. Our chair had a skin disease. Even our adult kids raised eyebrows, urging us to at least move the chair to some dark corner of the room. Neither of us could imagine such a retirement for it. So we had an inspired idea. We'd call in an upholsterer(工匠) to give our old chair a whole new life. Our friend Joe studied the chair and then took out a simple leather conditioner. He explained that although it wouldn't work miracles, it would definitely get our weary chair looking younger again. It certainly doesn't look new, but its seat and back are shining. Best of all, it's back in the living room, looking like a wise old friend to the furniture around it. And, yes, there it will stay. Because some things, like some people, just deserve a happy old age. 28. How did the salesman persuade the author into buying the chair? A. By thinking highly of the author. B. By saying that the author was green. C. By describing how great the chair was. D. By comparing the chair with others. 29.What is the fourth paragraph mainly about? A. Sweet memories with the chair. B. Various functions of the chair. C. People's comments on the chair. D. Family activities and parties of friends. 30.Why did the author finally decide to repair the chair? A. Because she was persuaded by Joe. B. Because she didn't have enough money. C. Because it showed signs of hardness. D. Because it couldn't match her new house. 31.What can we learn from the text? A. East or west, home is best. B. From saving comes having. C. It is never too late to mend. D. Old friends and wine are best D Race walking shares many fitness benefits with running, research shows, while most likely contributing to fewer injuries. It does, however, have its own problem. Race walkers are conditioned athletes. The longest track and field event at the Summer Olympics is the 50-kilometer race walk, which is about five miles longer than the marathon. But the sport's rules require that a race walker's knees stay straight through most of the leg swing and one foot remain in contact(接触) with the ground at all times. It's this strange form that makes race walking such an attractive activity, however, says Jaclyn Norberg, an assistant professor of exercise science at Salem State University in Salem, Mass. Like running, race walking is physically demanding, she says. According to most calculations, race walkers moving at a pace of six miles per hour would burn about 800 calories(卡路里) per hour, which is approximately twice as many as they would burn walking, although fewer than running, which would probably burn about 1,000 or more calories per hour. However, race walking does not pound the body as much as running does, Dr. Norberg says. According to her research, runners hit the ground with as much as four times their body weight per step, while race walkers, who do not leave the ground, create only about 1.4 times their body weight with each step. As a result, she says, some of the injuries associated with running, such as runner's knee, are uncommon among race walkers. But the sport's strange form does place considerable stress on the ankles and hips, so people with a history of such injuries might want to be cautious in adopting the sport. In fact, anyone wishing to try race walking should probably first consult a coach or experienced racer to learn proper technique, she says. It takes some practice. 32. Why are race walkers conditioned athletes? A. They must run long distances. B. They are qualified for the marathon. C. They have to follow special rules. D. They are good at swinging their legs. 33. What advantage does race walking have over running? A. It's more popular at the Olympics. B. It's less challenging physically. C. It's more effective in body building. D. It's less likely to cause knee injuries. 34. What is Dr. Norberg's suggestion for someone trying race walking? A. Getting experts' opinions. B. Having a medical checkup. C. Hiring an experienced coach. D. Doing regular exercises. 35. Which word best describes the author's attitude to race walking? A. Skeptical. B. Objective. C. Tolerant. D. Conservative. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分l0分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,选项中有 两项为多余选项。 How to Read More and Learn More These days, more and more Chinese people enjoy sending and receiving messages on the phone.
