Garden building is considered an important part of Chinese culture. Some people say that if you have never walked through a Chinese garden, you cannot say that you have really visited China.

Traditional Chinese gardens are located(位于)in North China in such places as Beihai Park, the Summer Palace, the Forbidden City. In larger imperial gardens, the main buildings are connected by an imaginary（虚构的） line in the middle of the garden on the north-south axis(轴). Other features (特征)of imperial gardens are colored-paintings, man-made hills and lakes.

Most private gardens are found in the south, especially in cities south of the Yangtze River. Private gardens were mostly built at one side or at the back of the houses. Around the beautiful scene are small open areas with beautiful shaped-doors through which visitors can enjoy the sights. They are open on all sides and are often near the water so that the whole scene can be enjoyed. Suzhou, known as the home of gardens, displays the most and the best Chinese traditional private gardens. Different parts of it are examples of the garden style of the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties.[

The landscape garden contains a number of pleasant natural scenes and some fairy tales. The ancient Chinese used to call the garden landscape “Jing” , which means “scene” in English. Good examples include the ten West Lake Scenes in Hangzhou, the twenty-four slim West Lake in Yangzhou and the eight Daming Lake Scenes in Jinan.

The Taj Mahal is considered to be one of the most beautiful buildings in the world and the finest example of the late style of Indian architecture (建筑). It is at Agra in northern India. It lies beside the River Jumna in the middle of gardens with quiet pools.

　　The Taj Mahal was built by the Mogul emperor (皇帝) Shah Jehan, who ruled India in the seventeenth century. It is in memory of his favorite wife, Arjumand Banu Bagam, known as Mumtaz Mahal, who died in 1631. The building, which was completed between 1632 and 1638, was designed by a local Muslim architect (建筑师), Ustad Ahmad Lahori. The whole building, with gardens and gateway structures, was completed in 1643. The Taj Mahal stands at one end of the garden tomb with marble (大理石) path. The room is softly lighted by the light that passes through double screens of carved marble set high in the walls. The building now is kept in good condition.

　　The Taj Mahal took 22 years to build. Shah Jehan planned a similar building, but in black instead of white, to lie on the other side of the river. But before it could be built, Shah Jehan was imprisoned (监禁) by his son and buried next to his wife in the Taj Mahal.

Winter-swimming has become popular in Beijing. Three years ago, few people would go swimming in the icy waters.

When I was a boy, every holiday that I had seemed wonderful. My   16  took me by train or by car to a hotel by the   17 .

In those days the   22  seemed to shine always brightly   23  the water was always warm. Sometimes we left beach and walked in the country, 24  ruined houses and dark woods and climbing trees. There were   25  in one’s pockets or good places where one could   26  ice creams. Each day seemed a lifetime.
Although I am now thirty-five years old, my idea of a good   27  is much the same as it was. I   28  like the sun and warm sand and the sound of   29  beating the rocks. I no longer wish to   30  any sand house or sand garden, and I dislike sweets.   31 , I love the sea and often feel sand running through my fingers.
Sometimes I   32  what my ideal (理想的) holiday will be like when I am   33 . All I want to do then, perhaps, will be to lie in bed, reading books about   34  who make houses and gardens with sands, who watch the incoming tide, who make themselves   35  on too many ices…

DIY sailor Owen Warboys has finally launched his homemade boat — after spending nearly 30 years building it in his mum’s garden.
Owen, 66, a retired engineer from Hordle, New Milton, Hants, first started work on the 40ft—long boat in 1982 because he could not afford to buy his own. He told mum Edith that it would only take five years but after suffering “a few problems” it lasted nearly three decades.
When he finally finished, he was left with the head-scratching task of getting the 18-tonne boat out of the back garden. After some time he found a way. A huge crane (起重机) was brought in to carefully raise it 40ft in the air over his mother’s house and onto a lorry. It was then driven to the seaside and, to Owen’s delight, it floated and showed no signs of leaking when lowered into the water.
Now, 28 years after he first started, Owen is at last preparing to set sail in his beloved boat, Wight Dolphin, with his long-suffering wife Anne. Owen said, “I am so relieved that it’s finished. There were times when I thought it would never end but I’m the sort of person who likes to finish something once I’ve started.”
At first he persuaded his mum to let him do it in her garden and started taking in sheets of steel and pieces of wood. “My mother was happy for me to build it at her house but only bacause I told her it would only take five years.”
【小题1】Why did Owen decide to make his own boat by himself?

A．He wanted to kill time after his retirement

B．He wished to set a new world record

C．He didn’t have enough money to buy a boat

D．He had a hobby of making things by hand

【小题2】What problem did Owen face when he finished his boat?

A．It leaked when lowered into the water

B．It couldn’t be sent onto a truck

C．He couldn’t afford to hire a crane.

D．He didn’t know how to move it out.

【小题3】Which of the following is TRUE about the boat ?

A．It was built by Owen and his supportive wife

B．It was in good condition after being put in the sea

C．Owen’s mother was relieved to see it was finished

D．Owen and his wife will sail around the world in it

【小题4】We can infer from the passage that _____.

A．the boat will enter a race competition

B．Owen retired early in order to make his boat

C．Owen’s wife gave the boat the name of Wight Dolphin

D．It took 23 more years to finish the boat than expected
