　　The Great Wall of China, the longest wall in the world, runs across north China like a huge dragon. It winds its way from west to east, across deserts over mountains, through valleys, till at last it reaches the sea. It in one of the wonders of the world. And it was one of the few man-made objects on earth that could be seen by the astronauts who landed on the moon.

　　The Great Wall has a history of over twenty centuries. The first part of it was built during the Spring and Autumn Period (770 B. C～476 B. C.). During the Warring States Period (475 B. C.～221 B.C.), more walls were put up to defend the borders of the different kingdoms. In 221 B. C. the kingdom of Qin united the different parts of China into one empire. To keep the enemy out of his empire, Emperor Qin Shihuang had all the walls joined up. Thus the Great Wall came into being. Since then, it has often been added to, rebuilt and repaired, especially during the Ming Dynasty (1368 ～1644).

　　The Great Wall, which is called in Chinese “The Ten-thou-sand-li Great Wall”, is actually more than 6000 kilometers long, 6～7 meters high and 4～5 meters wide. In most places it is wide enough for five horses or ten men to walk side by side along the top. It has great gateways which connect the main roads of north China.

　　Every few hundred meters along the wall there are watch towers, where soldiers used to keep watch. When the enemy came, fires were lit and at the same time guns were fired to warn soldiers at other towers, one column of smoke with one gunshot meant an enemy troop of about 100, two columns with two shots meant 500. In this way, a warning message could be sent 500 kilometers within a few hours.

　　It was very difficult to build and rebuilt such a great wall over wild and distant country without any modern machines, all the work had to be done by hand. Many people were forced to work in the wall far away from their homes. They lifted earth in baskets, passed bricks from hand to hand and dragged heavy stones with ropes over their shoulders. Their living conditions were terrible. Thousands of men died and were buried under the wall they built. The Great Wall was made not only of stone and earth, but of the flesh and blood of millions of men.

　　After the Great Wall was rebuilt hundreds of years ago, no more work was done on it until the People's Republic of China was founded. After that, parts of the wall were repaired. On both sides of it new cities appeared, trees were planted, and deserts became grasslands. The old Great Wall took on a new look.

　　Today the Great Wall has become a place of interest not only to the Chinese people, but also to the people from all over the world.

　　The first time I went for a walk around my father-in-law’s neighborhood was garbage day, and I was shocked to see what people were throwing out．

　　It was back in 1981, and I saw many people gathered in someone’s front yard．As I went nearer to see what was happening I got my first introduction to yard sales．For the few dollars I had in my wallet, I was able to buy a seven-inch black-and-white portable TV．I also bought a flashlight．

　　The following weekend, at another yard sale, I saw a 14-inch color TV being sold for almost nothing．I felt I could not miss the offer and bought it．Now I had two sets and couldn’t wait to see what else I could afford the next weekend．

　　Spring ended, and by then I had accumulated almost every type of electronic equipment I had always wished to have back home．

　　Then this new idea came to mind．I had heard about a man who traveled back home every few months．He drove a truck filled with boxes of new and used stuff that people were sending to relatives．So I told my father that I would send as many types of items as I could so that he could start his resale business．

　　Every few months I would gather several boxes of American “junk”－televisions, toasters, fans, hair dryers, etc．and send them home．As word got out about my father’s “trash” market, people all came to buy these things．

　　Three years later, when I visited my family for the first time since leaving home, I learned that many of the families in our neighborhood had a piece of “trash”．It proved that I had the responsibility to keep people back home up to date with the latest technology you no longer need．

阅读短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中，选出最佳选项。

Migrating Birds May Spread Flu

　　Every year, residents of Kunming, Yunnan Province welcome thousands of black headed gulls(红嘴鸥)with food and happy laughter．The lovely white birds fly from Siberia to stay in the Dianchi area of the city in winter．But this year the white angels are no longer lovely in locals eyes, due to their fear of bird flu．

　　Although scientists have not found the deadly virus in the birds, few people will dare to risk their lives to feed the birds this year．

　　Across the world, wild migratory birds(候鸟)seem to have become public enemy number one．Since the deadly H5N1 bird flu virus was discovered not only in Asia but also as far away as Europe and Africa, migratory birds were regarded as the carriers．Geographically speaking(从地理上说), the spread of bird flu appears to be following the migratory routes of wild birds．Bird flu is a common disease among wild migratory birds．But the virus may change itself when transferred to fowls and human．

　　Since the World Health Organization warned last month that migratory birds could carry the deadly H5N1 virus that causes bird flu, many countries, like China, have started tracking migratory birds and cleaning up poultry markets(家禽市场)．China also cancelled(取消)all pigeon races last week．

　　Scientists said that the migratory routes of wild birds are often far away from big cities．The risk of transferring(传染)the virus directly from wild birds to humans is very low．Scientists also warned that wild birds are shy creatures．They see you coming and fly away at once．But if a wild bird becomes easy to approach, people should be careful that it may be sick．

　　There are already three areas hit by bird flu in the provinces of Hunan and Anhui and the northern region of Inner Mongolia, areas all on the migratory routes of wild birds．In the past two weeks China has reported three outbreaks of the H5N1 virus that killed 3800 chickens, ducks and geese(鹅)．

(1)

Why the black headed gulls aren’t lovely this year?

[　　]

A．

Because they are from Siberia．

B．

Because they are Bird Flu carriers．

C．

Because people fear Bird Flu．

D．

Because they are unfriendly．

(2)

From the third paragraph, we know that ________．

[　　]

A．

wild migratory birds don’t carry H5N1

B．

wild migratory birds are easy to have the same Bird Flu as humans

C．

Bird Flu is likely to be found along the migratory route of wild birds

D．

it’s humans that spread Bird Flu to wild birds

(3)

The underlined word “approach” most probably means ________．

[　　]

A．

catch

B．

get close to

C．

find

D．

fear

(4)

In this passage, the writer mainly wants to ________．

[　　]

A．

give some information about black headed gulls

B．

warn us of the danger to have Bird Flu

C．

tell us of the possible relations between Bird Flu and Migratory birds

D．

tell us of the damage caused by Bird Flu Saying is one thing and doing another．言行不一。
