       James Stallman Rockefeller, the oldest-known U.S. Olympic medal winner and the former head of the bank that became Citigroup, died Tuesday. He was 102. Records of the U.S. Olympic Committee show that Rockefeller was the oldest American medal winner. He was the captain of Yale University's eight-man rowing team with coxswain that won gold at the 1924 Paris Olympics - beating the Canadian team by less than 16 seconds. The oars from the winning race and the gold medal were prominently displayed in Rockefeller's house. "I think he was really proud of that - probably more than the bank career," said his grandson。

Rockefeller suffered a stroke on Thursday, said his grandson, who lived with him at his Greenwich home for two years, attributed his long life to a regimented(严密组织的) lifestyle: breakfast at eight a.m., lunch at 1 p.m., cocktails at 6 p.m. and dinner promptly at 7 p.m.. He liked plain food, without sauces or cheese, and plenty of fresh vegetables, including those grown in the garden of his estate. Rockefeller was in good health until shortly before he died. He drove his car up until last year and would review documents from the various charities and businesses he helped lead.

Rockefeller, born June 8, 1902, was a grandson of William Rockefeller, who founded Standard Oil with his brother, John D. Rockefeller. He graduated from Yale in 1924 and served in the Airborne Command during World War II. He started at the bank, and then called the National City Bank, in 1930, following his uncle and grandfather, who were leaders of the bank. He was became president in 1952, chairman in 1959 and retired in 1967. In 1955, under Rockefeller's leadership, the bank merged with the First National Bank of New York to form Citigroup. Rockefeller also was a director of numerous companies, including Pan American Airways, Northern Pacific Railroad, NCR and Monsanto, and served on the boards of the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center and the American Museum of Natural History.

Rockefeller and his wife, Nancy Carnegie Rockefeller, had four children. His wife died in 1994.

16. Rockefeller lost his wife when he was ___________.

    A. at the age of 91    B. in his eighties   C. in his nineties       D. in his 1994

The route from north to south is a general picture of Norwegian nature: thundering waterfalls, rushing mountain streams and roads that run along glaciers, after having gone through thick pine forests and coastal lakes and fiords(峡湾).

The inner part of the country is very rugged and almost one third of it is covered with trees. Despite its northern latitude, the Norwegian weather is in fact maritime(海洋性的) and damp, because it is affected by the mitigating (调节)action of the warm Gulf Stream, coming from the Gulf of Mexico, which flows up the coast preventing the formation of sea ice.

Bergen, a port lying in the southeast of the country, is crowded with brightly colored houses, which belonged to German traders of the powerful Hanseatic League. Despite several fires, the area keeps the atmosphere of the “old port” and Commercial City from the Middle Ages. UNESCO (联合国教科文组织) recently declared it a World Heritage Site and included it in the list of monuments that are to be preserved.

There is a large park in the center of Bergen which is taken up almost completely by a large lake, around which, lie some of the main museums in the city.

The Hakonshallen, the most beautiful monument in the city, lies within the walls of Bergen's fortress. The great 13th century Gothic hall was built for the parties and the receptions in the days of the city's control over trade in the North Sea.

You get the best view over Bergen, the fiords and the surrounding pine-covered mountains from the belvedere(观景台). It's easy to admire Norwegians for their unique(独特的) way of respecting the nature!

From north to south, from Lapland to Oslo and Bergen, Norwegian people has proved, with time, that human beings, as the most advanced yet most vulnerable (脆弱的) in the great family of nature, can live in harmony (和谐) with all its other members.

6. The purpose of the passage is to ________.

A. introduce the whole natural scenery of Norway

B. show people the fact that human beings can live in harmony with nature through respecting nature

C. tell people Norway's natural environment is so beautiful and attracts more tourists

D. inform people that Bergen has been declared World Heritage Site by UNESCO

7. In Norwegian winter, there is no sea ice because ________.

A. Norway lies in Northern Europe with high latitude

B. one third of Norway is covered with thick pine trees

C. the Gulf Stream from the Gulf of Mexico keeps the Norwegian coast warm all year round

D. the weather depends upon the mountainous areas in Norway

8. The underlined word “it” in the second paragraph refers to ________.

A. the warm Gulf stream  B. the Norwegian weather

C. the northern latitude  D. the Gulf of Mexico

9. Which of the following statements about Bergen is NOT true?

A. Bergen is a port with a large park in its center.

B. The Hakonshallen, the most beautiful monument in Bergen was once controlled by German merchants in the 13th century.

C. The Hakonshallen was meant for the commercial needs at that time.

D. UNESCO has decided to preserve Bergen because of its real atmosphere of the “old port” and Commercial City from the Middle Ages.

10. It can be inferred from this passage that ________.

A. Norway is a neighbor of Mexico

B. Germans play an important part in the Norwegian economy

C. the south of Norway is covered with thick forest

D. the Hanseatic League is a commercial organization
