分析 本文围绕着澳大利亚要建设一个以中国文化为主题的公园，目的是为了迎合巨大的中国旅游市场．

解答 64-67 BCAC
64  B   细节题．根据第一段第一句话的Australia's Opera House and Harbor Bridge are going to be joined by a new landmark可知在建成新的标志性建筑之前悉尼歌剧院和悉尼海港桥是最能代表这个城市风格的旅游景点和标志性建筑．
65   C   细节题．根据第二段最后一句话的have a lasting effect on the local development可知这个主题公园对未来经济会产生积极的影响，所以C项正确．而A项的500 million pounds是对第五段第一句话的unique S500 million tourist attraction的误读；B项里的all与第一段最后一句话的housing a giant Buddha and a mini-city modeled on Chinese water towns相悖；虽然第五段第一句话的employing more than a thousand说明建筑过程会缓解就业压力，但是并不是说以后人们不用担心就业了，所以表述错误．
66   A   细节题．根据第一段最后一句话的a nine-story temple可知D项正确；根据第四段第二句话的a 1000-seat theatre restaurants可知B项和C项正确，没有提及A项的内容，．
67   C  主旨大意题．文章是围绕着澳大利亚要建设一个以中国文化为主题的公园，在文章最后一句话的take advantage of Chinese tourist market说到了这样做的目的是为了迎合巨大的中国旅游市场．

1．Absorbed in my to-do list of yesterday，I was walking into the office without paying any attention to my surroundings，when suddenly I turned the corner and there it was，
sitting on my chair．"Oh，my God，"I said surprisedly．"Zucchini（小胡瓜）"．"Isn't it that
nice？"said Rachel，my workmate．"Somebody left zucchini for everyone!"
Have you ever noticed how somebody actually gives you zucchini？At least，not in
the same way they give you corn or apples or tomatoes．I mean，if someone wants to give you a few fresh，juicy peaches off their tree，they walk right up and hand them to you．You will be pleased．It seems that they have confidence you will like their gift．But with zucchini，they left it and went away．No note．No calling card．I thought zucchini is the
abandoned orphan of the vegetable kingdom．
"Yeah，it's nice，"I said．"Who should we thank for this gift？""I don't know，"Rachel
said．"You know how it is with zucchini．"Of course I do．Nobody actually grows it．At least，not on purpose．It just grows like weeds．"So what are you going to do with yours？"I asked．"I will just do what I always do
with zucchini，"she said．This morning I stepped into my office area carefully，afraid of what might be there waiting for me．There was a piece of bread in a white box sitting on my desk．I picked it up．It smelled wonderful．I took a bite．It tasted wonderful．
"Who made the banana bread？"I asked．Rachel said，"It isn't banana bread．It's zucchini bread．"I stopped chewing．"This couldn't be zucchini．It's delicious!"I paused，and added，"But I dislike zucchini!""So do I，"Rachel admitted．"But a few years ago I found this great way to cook zucchini bread，and now I actually look forward to zucchini season．"I took another bite of the bread．I couldn't help wondering："How could anything so tasty come from something so distasteful？""It's a fact of life，"Rachel said．"You mix effort with creativity and you can turn  almost anything around．"

2．Coral reefs（珊 瑚 礁）are not just beautiful to look at，but also very useful．They shelter nearly 25% of ocean life and provide food for billions of people．However，like many other species，this amazing ecosystem（生态系统）is in danger of dying out!
There are two main reasons for the destruction（破坏）-the rising carbon dioxide levels caused by global warming as well as human influences like bottom operation．While not much can be done about the former，the loss caused by the latter can be reduced．
Bottom operation involves dropping nets to the ocean bed and then dragging them up when filled with fish．This action damaged the ocean floor，causing the coral branches to separate from the reefs．While that is very discouraging，the good news is that if these branches are found quickly，they can be saved．At present，that work is being performed by volunteer divers．But the method has only limited success because they cannot stay long underwater，nor reach depths of over 200meters where some of the deep-sea coral grows．
However，this is not the case for Coralbots-the robots that can constantly seek out broken branches．A team of‘coralbots'，each working to simple rules will piece together'damaged bits of coral，allowing them to regrow（重生）．They are programmed to be able to tell the differences between other things and the coral．The robots work together in groups，similar to bees．If one coralbot is damaged then the others will still be able to complete the task．
Dr Lea-Anne Henry said："The project of using coralbots offers us the possibility to restore（修复）the function of reefs．It is in the final stage of testing．Once ready，the researchers hope to build hundreds of them and use them effectively in the waters off Scotland and then hopefully in the oceans across the world．"
28．Which of the following is a cause of the danger that coral reefs are facingD．
A．The appearance of new creatures．
B．The seriously polluted sea water．
C．The activities of volunteer divers．
D．Human activities like bottom operation．
29．Compared with volunteer divers，coralbotsA．
A．can stay longer underwater               
B．must work as bees do
C．can distinguish what is coral              
D．can never be damaged
30．What does the underlined word"them"in the last paragraph refer toA．
A．Coralbots．
B．Broken branches．
C．Working bees．
D．Bits of coral．
31．We can infer from the passage thatB．
A．bottom operation has affected most underwater creatures
B．broken branches of coral can regrow if saved in time
C．hundreds of the coralbots have worked well in the oceans
D．with the coralbots all damaged coral reefs can be restored．

4．You're happy to let your best friend borrow your mountain bike，but would you be willing to loan it out to a total stranger if you could make some money off the arrangement？
That's the idea behind peer-to-peer （P2P） renting，a new model conducted by sites such as eBay and Craigslist．Instead of selling an idle （闲置） thing，you loan it to people in your town，get paid a small rental fee and get it back when the borrower's done with it．In the past few years，almost a dozen websites have popped up piwmsing to connect lenders and borrowers．For instance，you can use GetAround to rent out your car or motorcycle，SnapGoods to rent out electronics and gadgets，ToolSpinner to rent electric drills and lawnmowers，Zaarly and Knb to rent out a little bit of everything else．
Old as it may sound，P2P renting is more high-tech than before，with websites that avoid cash for credit cards．A user creates an online listing for the item she wants to rent out，choosing her own rental fee．When someone wants the item，he keeps it on an online calendar，and the two arrange a time and place for pickup．Each site operates a little differently，but all use technology to make renting easy，safe and relatively inexpensive．
Why rent your stuff？You may not make a ton of money，but it is a good way to get some use，out of idle things．The people who rent those goods are able to save thousands of dollars by renting instead of buying new．
There may be other benefits．"It brings convenience，security and adventure，"says All Hart，JustSharclt's spokesperson．"But，more important，we're really connecting people and building community，too．"
    Get to know your neighbors and make a few bucks in the process？Sounds like a good deal．

A．make better use of their idle things               B．share ideas on the Internet

14．The iPad is an Apple tablet computer．The device sits somewhere between a laptop and a smart phone，according to Apple's chief executive，Steven P．Jobs，and does certain things better than both of them，like surfing the Web，reading e-books and playing videos．The iPad went on sale on April 3，2010，and Apple said it had shipped 500，000 units in the first week．The handheld device puts Apple on a direct collision course with the Kindle from Amazon，which Mr．Jobs ever considered as pioneering the category．
It is common knowledge that media companies hope the iPad will finally lead to available way for them to charge for news，books and other materials．The half-inch thick，1.5-pound device features a 9.7-inch multi-touch screen and is powered by a customized（订制的）Apple microchip，which is called A4．It has been designed with an exposed screen and without a camera or separate keyboard．The iPad has the same operating system as the iPhone and also has access to its 140，000 applications．
The price of the device starts at 499 for the most basic model，with a Wi-Fi wireless connection．More expensive models with more memory and with 3G wireless access will cost 629 to 829，depending on storage size．
Because Apple is attempting to popularize a new kind of computing device，acceptance among consumers is expected to be slower than with previous Apple devices．Critics assume that some buyers are waiting for future versions of the iPad to appear，perhaps with a camera or USB ports（端口）．
On its first day on sale，iPad users downloaded more than one million applications from the company's AppStore and more than 250，000 electronic books from its iBookstore．A new wave of apps is expected in response to the iPad．For an application developer，having an application accepted for a highly desired Apple product means reaching a passionate group of consumers．The potential income is huge：the apps market for the iPhone and iPod Touch alone is already worth a billion dollars a year in sales．

61．In Mr Job's opinion，the iPadD．
A．is a standard computer
B．is better than a laptop in any function
C．helps Apple to beat Amazon
D．is a"revolutionary"product between a laptop and a smart phone
62．Which of the following is NOT true of the iPad？D

A．the size of the screen           
B．the size of the memory
C．the speed of the microchip       
D．the Wi-Fi wireless connection
64．What do we know from the fourth paragraph？A
A．Some consumers hope for an iPad with more functions．
B．Buyers can improve their iPads with USB devices．
C．The iPad is basically different from conventional computers．
D．The iPad is accepted faster than former Apple products．
65．It is implied in the passage thatD．
A．people may download any application from the App Store
B．people would prefer to buy an iPad rather than an iPhone
C．owning an Apple product means that you will be respected
D．the Apple company will make more profit from the iPad．
1．"Everybody loves a bargain．"One person's useless，ugly，or broken object can be another person's bargain．That is why so many Americans do not throw things away．They put them outside their houses．They put on a"For Sale"sign．And，as simple as that，they have a yard sale．
The sellers put a paid announcement in a local newspaper．It tells，when and where the yard sale will take place．These sales are very popular during weekends in spring，summer，and autumn．Early in the morning，all the things to be sold are carried out of the house．Then they sit all day in the sunlight-like tired guests at a party-waiting for someone to take them home．
Just about anything can be sold at a yard sale．Sometimes，there are more clothes than anything else．Cooking equipment is also popular．So are old toys，tools，books，tables and chairs．
Then there are objects called"white elephants"．A white elephant is something you think is extremely ugly or useless．It may be an electric light shaped like a fish．You feel a sharp pain whenever you look at it．To someone else，however，it might be a thing of beauty and joy．
Some people go to yard sales to find a special thing that they collect．It may be old toy trains，for example，or paintings of dogs．Experts say more Americans are collecting old things now than ever before．Most people who go to yard sales，however，are not looking for anything special．They might buy an object simply because it costs so little．They enjoy negotiating（谈判）over prices，even if they really do not need the object．Later，they may hold their own yard to sell all the things they have bought．

59．What kind of things will go to a yard sale？D
A．Things of beauty and joy．
B．Things of great，value．
C．Things out of season．

B．that looks like a golden fish
C．disliked by the owners while appreciated by others
D．sold at the lowest prices in the old newspaper
61．Which of the following is NOT true about a yard sale？B
A．It is held outdoors．
B．It is usually held with a party．
C．It can last for a whole day．
D．It may not be held on a cold day．
62．We can infer from the last paragraph thatC．
A．things on a yard sale can cost people a lot
B．most people don't want to go to yard sales
C．people may find something of great value on a yard sale
D．yard sales only attract those who have a low income．
18．Theodore，the manager of the Paradise Hotel，told a middle-aged couple that that would have to leave the hotel after just one night．The couple，visiting from Texas，had booked a room for eight nights．
"They wanted a sterile （消毒了的） environment，"Theodore said，"They should have rented a room in a hospital，maybe an operating room．This hotel is clean，but it isn't that clean．"
Theodore said that，on the very first day，the couple brought all the sheets，pilloweases，and bedspreads down to the main hall and just dropped them next to the front desk．They stood there next to this pile of bedding while other guests looked，pointed，and murmured．The hotel got three cancellations within the hour from people who witnessed this strange event．
When Theodore asked the couple what the problem was，they said that their bedding was filthy and they wanted it replaced．The couple could not identify any specific"filth"on the bedding．The wife just said，"We're paying good money to stay here．How dare you doubt us？We know the filth is there．That's all the proof you need，"Theodore called room service，and the bedding was replaced immediately．
Early the next evening，however，the couple marched to the front desk again and demanded seven cans of sterilizer，"We need a can for each night．We have to spray the phone，the TV，all the door handles，the toilet handle，the shower stall，the faucet，the sink，and any hotel staff entering our room．"
Worried，Theodore politely suggested that a hotel more suitable for them was just around the corner．He then called ahead to reserve a"very clean"room，and gave them free transportation in the hotel Rolls-Royce．Also，he told the couple that they wouldn't be charged for the second day．
The couple were surprised but they really liked the idea of free room for a night and that expensive car service．

58．What word could best describe the couple？C
A．Narrow-minded．  B．Expensive  C．Particular  D．Easy-going．
