“San Francisco, open your Golden Gate,” sang the girl in the theatre．She never finished her
song．The date was 18th, 1906．
The earth shook and the roof suddenly divided, buildings crashed to the ground and people
rushed out into the streets．The dreadful earthquake destroyed the city that had grown up when men discovered gold in the deserts of California．But today the streets of San-Francisco stretch over more than 40 steep hills, rising like huge cliffs above the blue waters of the Pacific Ocean．
The best way to see this splendid city, where Spanish were the first to make their homes, is to
take one of the old cable cars which run along the nine main avenues．Fares are cheap; they have not risen for almost a hundred years．
You leave the palm trees in Union Square------the heart of San-Francisco and from the shop
signs and the faces around you, you will notice that in the city live people from many nations—Austrians, Italians, Chinese, and others, giving every part of the city a special character．More Chinese live in China Town than in any other part of the world outside China．Here, with Chinese restaurants, Chinese post-boxes, and even odd telephone-boxes that look like pagoda（宝塔）, it is easy to feel you are in China itself．
Fisherman’s Wharf, a place all foreigners want to see, is the end of the ride．You get out, and
then set out to find a table in one of gay little restaurants beside the harbor．As you enjoy the fresh Pacific sea food, you can admire the bright red paint of the Golden Gate Bridge in the harbor and watch the traffic crossing beneath the tall towers on its way to the pretty village of Tiberon．When you finish your meal, you may decide to take a boat-trip around the bay to look at the sights．You can stare at the famous, now empty, prison of Alcatraz．Then why not go to the fishing village of Sansalito—a little like London’s Chelsea or New York’s Greenwich Village—to see people painting and to look at their pictures．You will be able to enjoy a view of the city from the sea and take pleasure in the soft red and blue Spanish-type houses shining in the bright Pacific light．If you have time you might like to go by bus to Carmel, a hundred miles south of San-Francisco, where you will discover a wild and wonderful coast with high cliffs．
1.The first two paragraphs tell the readers that_____．
A．everybody will be attracted by the beauty of San-Francisco．
B．this fantastic modern travel city was built by many hard-working people．
C．San-Francisco has experienced so much before it became a modern international city．
D．There are so many entertainments in attractive San-Francisco
2.How many means of transportation are suggested in the passage?
A．One B．Two C．Three D．Four
3.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A．The origin city of San-Francisco is created by Spanish people．
B．More Chinese live in San-Francisco than in any other part of the world outside China．
C．Alcatraz used to be a prison but now is deserted．
D．San-Francisco lies near the blue waters of the Pacific．
4.Which is the right order of the travel route given in the passage?
A．Union Square—Fisherman’s Wharf—the Golden Gate Bridge—Tiberon—prison of

I had never seen sand dunes（沙丘）before. If you go to the seaside in Britain, you may see some small hills of sand, but nothing very impressive. Of course, Africa is home to many beautiful “sandscapes”, but I was in China, so I went to Dunhuang.
I had spent my first day looking at the beautiful Mogao caves. Now I wanted to experience something very different.
I have been walking in Asia, Europe and America, but nothing prepared me for walking over hills of sand. Whenever I took a step up a hill, my feet would sink into the sand and move backwards. Sometimes it seemed as if I were moving in the wrong direction.
I wanted to see the sunset so I had to climb to the top of the highest sand dune. The sun was beating down upon my back as I walked slowly over the sand. Some plants had managed to survive in the dry ground but not many.
As I climbed higher, the hills of sand became steeper and my feet started to slip further backwards. I ended up with my hands and knees, crawling (爬行)upwards through the top. I just let go if I would fall the way down. But I refused to give up: inch by inch, I made my way to the top of the sand dune.
When I got there I was amazed by what I saw. The sand formed a very sharp point, just like a knife-edge. One side of the dune was bathed in sunshine, the other covered by shade. As I looked into the distance, the same pattern was repeated on all of the hilltops, and the difference between dark and light was beautiful.
As the sun began to sink, the shadows grew longer and the light became warm and orange. The wind had come to life and sand was blown against my legs as I walked along the dunes. Soon it was getting dark and I could only just make out the line of footprints that marked my journey to the top of the hill. I slowly made my way down to the bottom, my path lit by the dying sun.
65 The author probably went to climb the sand dunes __________ after he arrived at Dunhuang.
A. on the afternoon of the first day B. on the afternoon of the second day
C. on the evening of the second day D. on the evening of the first day
66. Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A. Africa has many beautiful sand dunes.
B. The author could see nothing but his own footprints on his way back.
C. The author had seen some kinds of sand dunes before he visited Dunhuang
D. What attracted the author most was that the sand formed a very sharp point.
67. The author got to the top of the highest hill of sand _____________.
A. on his hands and knees all the way
B. with falls to the bottom many times
C. on his hands and knees in the last leg (一段旅程)
D. with a few rests all the way
68. The author mainly wants to tell readers about_____________.
A. the beautiful sunset B. his experience of climbing the sand hills
C. the joy of traveling in nature D. the difficulty of climbing the sand dunes

The painter Georgia O’keeffe was born in Wisconsin in 1887 and grew up on her family’s farm. At seventeen she decided she wanted to be an artist and left the farm for schools in Chicago and New York, but she never lost her bond with the land. Like most painters, O’Keeffe painted the things that were most important to her, and nearly all her works are simplified portrayals of nature.
O’Keeffe became famous when her paintings were discovered and exhibited in New York by the photographer Levered Stieglitz, whom she married in 1924. During a visit to New York in 1929, O’Keeffe was so moved by the bleak（荒凉的） landscape and broad skies of the Western desert that she began to paint its images. Cows’ skulls and other bleached（变白的） bones found in the desert figured prominently（突出的） in her paintings. When her husband died in 1946, she moved to New Mexico permanently and used the horizon lines of the desert, colorful flowers, rocks, barren(贫瘠的) hills, and the sky as subjects for her paintings. Although O’Keeffe painted her best known works in the 1920’s, 1930’s and 1940’s, she continued to produce tributes（贡品、颂词） to the Western desert until her death in 1986.
O’Keeffe is widely considered to have been a pioneering American modernist painter. While most early modern American artists were strongly influenced by European art, O’Keeffe’s position was more independent. She established her own vision and preferred to view her painting as a private endeavor. Almost from the beginning, her work was more indentifiably American than that of her contemporaries in its simplified and idealized treatment of color, light, space, and natural forms.
Which of the following best tells what this passage is about ?
A. O’Keeffe was a distinctive modern American painter.
B. O’Keeffe was the best painter of her generation.
C. O’Keeffe liked to paint only what was familiar to her.
D. O’Keeffe used colors and shapes that are too reduced and simple.
Which of the following is NOT mentioned as an influence on O’Keeffe’s paintings ?
A. Her rural upbringing B. Her life in the West
C. The works of European artists D. The appearance of the natural landscape
Which of the following is most similar to O’Keeffe’s relationship with nature?
A. A photoghrapher’s relationship with a model.
B. A writer’s relationship with a publisher.
C. A student’s relationship with a teacher
D. A carpenter’s relationship with a hammer.
Why is O’Keeffe considered an artistic pioneer ?
A. Her work became influential in Europe.
B. She painted the American Southwest.
C. Her paintings had a definite American style.
D. She painted things that were familiar to her.

The painter Georgia O’keeffe was born in Wisconsin in 1887 and grew up on her family’s farm. At seventeen she decided she wanted to be an artist and left the farm for schools in Chicago and New York, but she never lost her bond with the land. Like most painters, O’Keeffe painted the things that were most important to her, and nearly all her works are simplified portrayals of nature.
O’Keeffe became famous when her paintings were discovered and exhibited in New York by the photographer Levered Stieglitz, whom she married in 1924. During a visit to New York in 1929, O’Keeffe was so moved by the bleak（荒凉的） landscape and broad skies of the Western desert that she began to paint its images. Cows’ skulls and other bleached（变白的） bones found in the desert figured prominently（突出的） in her paintings. When her husband died in 1946, she moved to New Mexico permanently and used the horizon lines of the desert, colorful flowers, rocks, barren(贫瘠的) hills, and the sky as subjects for her paintings. Although O’Keeffe painted her best known works in the 1920’s, 1930’s and 1940’s, she continued to produce tributes（贡品、颂词） to the Western desert until her death in 1986.
O’Keeffe is widely considered to have been a pioneering American modernist painter. While most early modern American artists were strongly influenced by European art, O’Keeffe’s position was more independent. She established her own vision and preferred to view her painting as a private endeavor. Almost from the beginning, her work was more indentifiably American than that of her contemporaries in its simplified and idealized treatment of color, light, space, and natural forms.
