A tour of the Wuyi Mountains in the northwest of Fujian Province is well worth your time. This place has clear rivers, beautiful forests on hills and peaceful villages. The UN honored much of Wuyi in 1999. Since then, more and more tourists have visited it and some have used air travel to get there. But you will be glad to know that it is still a special quiet place to see. Yunufeng, or Jade Lady Peak, is as beautiful as ever. Jiuquxi, a river in the shape of a snake in the southwestern part of the Wuyi Mountains, is still green and clear as it travels nearly ten kilometers to the flats (平地) below. On the river you can see many high hills or stop to climb a rock staircase to the top of Tianyoufeng. From there you might stand in a light warm rain as you look out over the beautiful valleys (山谷) below. Clouds come and go among the mountains and into the valleys. Birds sing cheerfully in the forest, perhaps calling out names from long ago. In another part of the river you can take a boat down a whitewater but be sure to wear a T-shirt and shorts as you will get wet! If you need to wear glasses, tie them to your head. Don’t change your mind about going down the river! Be brave! Some guides will help you on the boat and take care of you on the river. You can watch the green water become white as it begins to move more rapidly. You will probably feel both excited and nervous, but enjoy the ride! When your journey is finished, don’t forget to go to the village nearby and try the famous Wuyi rock tea. Then you can have a rest and think about the trip.

A. in the northwest B. in the southwest

   A. fly fog between the mountains and into valleys

   B. hear birds calling out names from long ago

   C. get wet all over because of heavy rain

   D. enjoy the beauty of a dream world

55. How can you describe the boat ride down a whitewater?

A. Dangerous  B. Adventurous      C. Not worth trying       D.Too frightening

56. From the passage we can conclude that ___________.

   A. the Wuyi Mountains is well worth visiting

   B. only one way leads to the top of Tianyoufeng

   C. the glasses must be tied to your head on Jiuquxi

  I had always planned to take a tour of Yosemite, and I finally fulfilled my dream last December.I cannot help but express how much I enjoyed my tour of Yosemite.

  As the best-known scenic spot, Yosemite National Park is actually a natural wonder.The park is located in the middle of the Nevada mountain range.It has huge rocks, great waterfalls and fantastic valleys.

  I really need to thank my tour guide, Tony.He was very helpful and he told me a lot of interesting facts about the scenic spots we saw.As I couldn't drive, the tour guide was also my driver.He picked me up at 8 o'clock in the morning.He was a professional and experienced tour guide, so he tried everything to make sure that I had an interesting and relaxing tour.As he was driving, he kept on telling me about the wildlife and the unique scenery in this surprising land.

  Bridalveil Fall was our first stop.The best time to see it is in summer, but I didn't go there in the hot season, so the waterfall was not as good as it could have been.I still took a photo of myself standing in front of this terrific waterfall before leaving for my next stop.When I first saw El Capitan, the largest standing sandstone structure in the world, I knew why it was called “El Capitan”.The huge structure dwarfed(使矮小)everything around it.Though I was used to seeing skyscrapers, nothing had prepared me for this.

  I felt so happy and excited after I came back from Yosemite.I haven't had this feeling for a very long time.Happiness usually comes when we do activities that accomplish something, which is a deep feeling of joy that often lasts a long time.So I decided to go out for a trip constantly to make myself happy and relaxed.

1.What is Yosemite National Park famous for?(No more than 7 words)

2.Why did the author think Tony was a professional and experienced guide?(No more than 11 words)

3.Why was the author shocked when he first saw El Capitan?(No more than 7 words)

4.According to the passage, what made the author so excited?(No more than 7 words)

America’s greatest technological achievement, the Hoover Dam, now has a companion piece, a bridge held up by the longest arch in the Western Hemisphere(半球). The Mike O’Callaghan-Pat Tillman Memorial Bridge, which opened this month and connects the U.S. states of Arizona and Nevada, crosses the vast chasm(峡谷)890 feet above the Colorado River that is controlled by the dam.

The striking 1,900-foot-long structure will improve traffic in the region and help protect the dam from being destroyed. It is the seventh highest bridge in the world, behind four in China, one in Papua New Guinea and one in the US state of Colorado.

“The Hoover Dam is the greatest civil engineering achievement in America’s history,” said the bridge project manager Dave Zanatell. “Our goal was not to outdo or outshine it. Our goal was to, in a respectful way, do something that would be great for our generation and that would stand besides Hoover Dam in a respectful and quality way that would become a part of Hoover’s legacy(遗产).”

Just as the Hoover Dam was built in the heart of the Great Depression(大萧条)and was seen as an example of the nation’s can-do spirit, some hope this project can also provide some uplift.

The bridge is surprising: at 1,050 feet, its support arch holds up a roadway that lies on 300-foot-long concrete pillars(柱子), some of the tallest in the world. It contains 16 million pounds of steel.

  The idea of the bridge came into being in the 1960s because the top of the Hoover Dam has been a narrow two-lane road that is the fastest route from Arizona to Las Vegas and then the Pacific Northwest and Canada.

   Access to the dam from each direction is a dangerously winding route, but massive trucks and passenger vehicles shared it for decades. During the day, when thousands of tourists travel to the dam from Las Vegas three times as many accidents as on a normal road will happen.

   The bridge has a sidewalk on the side facing the dam. The wall on both sides is 54 inches high, so walkers can take photos there.

Which of the following is true of the Hoover Dam?

   A. It was completed recently.

   B. It was built during the hard times.

   C. It has the longest arch.

   D. It’s the seventh highest dam in the world.

What is one of the purposes of building the bridge?

   A. To protect the dam.                                 B. To save the cultures.

   C. To outdo the dam.                                       D. To develop the tourism.

The underlined word “uplift” in Paragraph 4 means _____.

   A. lift of the heavy object                            B. support in money

   C. spiritual encouragement                           D. instruction in technology

Which of the followings shows the right position of the bridge and dam?

The text is mainly about ______.

   A. the Hoover Dam                                    

   B. American western development

   C. a tour along the Colorado River               

   D. a recently built bridge

阅读下面短文,从各题A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳答案。
People who smoke could lose around one third of their daily memory, researchers say.
A study by a team at Northumbria University showed that smokers lost more of their memory when compared to non-smokers.
And the research also found that those who kicked the habit saw their ability to recollect information restored to almost the same level as non-smokers.
The study involved more than seventy 18-to-25-year-olds and included a tour of the university’s campus. Those who took part were asked to recall small details, such as a list of songs played at a campus concert and tasks completed at various points-known as real world memory test. Smokers performed badly, remembering just 59 percent of tasks. But those who had given up smoking remembered 74 percent and those who had never smoked recalled 81 percent of tasks.
Dr. Tom Heffernan, who leads Northumbria University’s Collaboration for Drug and Alcohol Research Group, said the findings would be useful in anti-smoking campaigns. He said, “Given that there are up to 10 million smokers in the UK and as many as 45 million in the United States, it's important to understand the effects smoking has on everyday cognitive(认知的)function-of which prospective memory is an excellent example. ”
“This is the first time that a study has set out to examine whether giving up smoking has an impact on memory. We already know that giving up smoking has huge health benefits for the body, but this study also shows how stopping smoking can have knock-on benefits for cognitive functions too. ’’
The research will now investigate the effects of passive smoking on memory, while Dr. Heffernan and Dr. Terence O’Neil will look into the effects of third-hand smoking-toxins left on curtains and furniture.
【小题1】What’s the main idea of the passage?

A.Smoking does harm to health.
B.Smokers take a tour to the University’s campus.
C.Smoking can affect one’s memory.
D.Smokers are compared to non-smokers.
【小题2】How did those who took part in the study perform when asked to recall small details?
A.Smokers did the worst among the participants.
B.Non-smokers could recall about half of them.
C.Smokers could recall nothing at all.
D.Those who gave up smoking did best.
【小题3】According to Dr. Tom Heffernan, the findings_______.
A.would be really a surprise to the public
B.would contribute to fighting against smoking
C.would be used in real world memory test
D.would be nothing new to the researchers
【小题4】What does the underlined word “impact’’ most probably mean?
A.orderB.impressionC.expression D.effect
【小题5】What will Dr. Heffernan and Dr Terence O’Neil do?
A.Investigate the effects of third-hand smoking.
B.Do research on how smoking affects passive smokers.
C.Find ways to persuade people to quit smoking.
D.Study whether giving up smoking affects memory.
