The World Expo 2010 Shanghai China is to be staged in Shanghai from May 1 to October 31, 2010. If you plan to visit the Shanghai Expo this summer, the

China Pavilion is a must-see area for you.

The China Pavilion, which is called Oriental Crown

(东方之冠), is located at the center of the Expo site. Standing 63 meters tall, the China Pavilion takes the shape of an emperor’s crown, with the upper layers larger than the lower ones. Covering 160,000 square meters in floor space, the pavilion consists of a national hall and a regional hall. Construction on the China Pavilion began on Dec. 18, 2007. The design of the China Pavilion was picked from a total of 344 designs put forward by Chinese from around the world. The pavilion possesses both traditional and modern features, which helps develop the theme of the 2010 Expo “Better City, Better Life”. For example, it is red in appearance, which contains the elements of traditional Chinese culture, and it is green indoors, with the use of energy-saving techniques. The Shanghai World Expo is expected to attract 70 million visitors from across the globe. It is estimated that 400,000 people will visit the Expo and its 140 pavilions every day during the period, but the China Pavilion is only able to receive about one tenth of the total. How to accommodate so many people in the pavilion remains a tough task. Luckily, the China Pavilion is built as a permanent landmark.

    During the Expo, the main structure will be used for an exhibition based on the theme of “Chinese wisdom in urban development" by explaining the values of harmony, nature and spirit. The three-story pavilion has three sections. The top floor’s "Footprint of the East" will show some of the changes in Chinese cities. There, you can see a film which shows how Chinese cities have changed, especially in the past 30 years. According to Lu Chuan, director of the film, the scenery is like something from The Lord of the Rings. On the second floor, "Journey of Wisdom” will explain China’s four great inventions. And the ground’s “Blossoming City” will display scenes from cities of the future.

55. Which of the following words can be used to describe the China Pavilion?

A. Tiny.             B. Round.             

C. Foreign.                D. Environment-friendly.

56. The China Pavilion can receive           visitors at most per day.

    A. 40,000 B. 400,000        C. 100,000        D. 20,000

57. We can infer that          .

    A. the China Pavilion will be pulled down after the World Expo 2010 is over

    B. the China Pavilion will probably continue to be open to visitors after the Expo is over

    C. you can continue to visit the Japanese Pavilion after the Expo is over

    D. some foreign friends took part in the designs of the China Pavilion

58. On the second floor of the China Pavilion, you can          .

It was a beautiful Sunday morning，and Maggie and I were returning from our walk through the woods. We were only a couple of blocks away from home when I suddenly saw a cellphone and a credit card sitting on the road. We took them home. We always find amazing things on the street and she looks upon them as a movable feast—a chicken wing here or a bone there.

I found another cellphone a few years back，too，and called a number in its phone book. I explained the situation to the guy who answered. He said it was his sister’s and that he’d come to pick it up，which he did.

And that was that. No verbal thank-you，no written thank-you，and no “here’s a box of chocolates” thank-you.

I didn't have time to call anyone on my latest found cellphone. I was pouring myself coffee when it started to vibrate(振动)and dance across the kitchen counter.

“Who’s this?”someone asked when I picked up.

“Who's this?" I asked. "Sarah?"

She was surprised at my knowing her name until she realized her name was on the credit card. “Could you send them to me?” she asked. She lives in Arlington，which is 2 miles away from my house.

“Hmm，no. ” I replied，adding that I thought she could come to get them，and that if I  wasn’t at home，they would be in my mailbox.

A day later，when I was out for a run，someone came and took them away. There wasn't even a piece of paper put in the mailbox with "Thanks" on it. In their age of e-mail and cellphone there's really no excuse. Years ago，I found something more precious than a  $100 bill on the street—a driver's license. I saw that its owner lived a couple of blocks from me so I called him up. He asked whether I could slip the license through his front door.

“I guess I could，”I replied.

And that was that.

60. What is the relationship between Maggie and the writer?

A. Wife and husband.             B. Daughter and father.

C. Teacher and student.            D.  Master and pet dog.

6 1. How did the writer know Sarah's telephone number?

A. From her telephone’s phone book.      B. From her credit card. 

C. From her e-mail.                    D. From her driving license.

62. The writer wants to tell us       through the unusual stories.

A. we should return the things we picked to the losers

B. we should learn to appreciate others because of the use of e-mail and cellphone

C. people would learn to appreciate persons who provide help)

D. the advance of society makes people lose some virtues(美德)
