Did you know that the Chinese built the largest canal in the world? Its length of 1,104 miles easily compares with a route linking New York and Florida. Connecting five river systems and four provinces, it ends at Beijing in the North and Hangzhou in the south. For this reason, it is officially called the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal.

In 486 B.C.,the leader of the State of Wu,to transport goods to the northern areas of China,constructed a man-made channel using already existing waterways to link the Yangtze and Huai rivers. It was this channel that laid the foundation for the future longer Grand Canal. More than 1000 years later,Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty had the old canals rebuilt and connected to form what we know today as the Grand Canal.

Then in 1403,Emperor Yongle of the Ming Dynasty transferred his capital from Nanjing to Beijing. In order to feed all those moving North, he had to transport grain from the south along the Grand Canal. To restore the Canal,more than 47,000 men were employed.

The canal soon became the economic lifeline of the empire. Grain was not the only trade goods transported North on the waterways.Salt was another, as well as wine and tea. Goods traded from the North included cotton, wool,coal, flour,precious stones, and dried meat. At times, more than 120,000 soldiers and officers were needed to operate the almost 12,000 ships that annually travelled the Grand Canal.

With the expansion of the railway system in the mid-1800s, the Grand Canal became less and less important to traders. Today,few goods are transported along its waterways.Still, the current South-North Water Transfer Project proves that the Chinese government still sees the Grand Canal important to the welfare of China, The aim of this costly project is to divert huge amounts of water every year from the Yangtze River to the drier regions in the north.

24. What is special about the Grand Canal?

A. It can date back to the Sui Dynasty.

B. It has a history of less than1,000 years.

C.It runs from New York to Florida.

D.It is the longest canal across the world.

25. What can we learn about the function of the Grand Canal?

A. It was first constructed to convey officers.

B. It was employed for wars by Emperor Yongle.

C. It used to transport goods between south and north.

D.It is now carrying more goods than the railway system.

26.What does the underlined word “divert” in the last paragraph refer to?

A.Transfer. B.Recycle. C.Conserve. D.Clarify.

27. Where is the text most likely from?

A.A diary.B.A magazine. C.A novel. D.A biography.

New research indicates that a person's neighborhood may play a large role in influencing decisions to commute(通勤）by bike.The study,published recently in the Journal of Transport and Land Use, could give city planners new ideas about how to design neighborhoods, streets and bike paths with active commuting in mind, said Yuiin Park, lead author of the study.

The study was based on a survey of 1, 200 people who commuted to The Ohio State University. About 12.6 percent of those people classified themselves as bicyclists, and about 5.4 percent reported that a bicycle was their main choice of transportation to campus. People.who lived in high-density(高密度） areas were more than twice as likely to commute by bike as people in medium-density areas and more than three times as likely to commute by bike as people in suburban areas.

Both bicyclists and non-bicyclists in the survey agreed that bicycling was environmentally friendly,created health benefits and would save money. It indicates that recognizing the benefits of bicycling is not enough to push non-bicyclists to start commuting on two wheels. However, most bicyclists surveyed said they would commute by bike more frequently if they had access to more bike' paths, bike-sharing opportunities and covered parking for their bikes. Non-bicyclists who lived in high-density neighborhoods appeared to be more concerned about safety-both from other vehicles and from crime-when traveling by bike than their friends who commute by bike.

Park finally said that the conditional willingness to ride a bicycle to commute gradually decreases from high-density neighborhoods to low-density, single-family neighborhoods. She also said that if campus, city and regional planners want to increase the percentage of people commuting by bike, they might want to target public investment in protected bike paths and bike parking near downtown and campus areas.

28. What can we learn about the participants from paragraph 2?

A.They live near the Ohio State University.

B.Quite a few of them commute by bicycle.

C.They are students from the Ohio State University.

D.People living downtown are most likely to ride bikes.

29.Non-bicyclists are more concerned about

A. narrow bicycle paths

B.potential safety risks

C.few sharing chances

D. poor parking facilities

30.How can city planners encourage more people to commute by bike?

A. By requiring university students to ride bikes.

B.By investing more money in purchasing bikes.

C.By building safe paths and parking for cyclists.

D.By educating people about the benefits of cycling.

31. What is the text mainly about?

A.Campuses should be designed as bike-friendly areas.

B.People are supposed to commute downtown by bike.

C.Neighborhood may affect people's commuting choices.

D.Commuting by bike makes neighbourhood more active.

The weather was ideal. There could not have been a more perfect day for a garden party. The gardeners had been up since dawn,cutting the lawns and sweeping them until the grass seemed to shine. As to the roses, you could not help feeling they understood that roses are the only flowers that impress people at garden parties.

Breakfast was not over before the men came to put up the big tent.

“Where do you want the tent put, mother?"

“My dear child, it is no use asking me. I'm determined to leave everything to you children this year. Forget I am your mother. Treat me as an honored guest."

But Meg could not possibly go and inspect the men. She had washed her hair before breakfast, and sat drinking her coffee with a green towel round her head, and a dark wet curl stuck onto each cheek. Jose,the butterfly,came down in a silk petticoat and a kimono jacket.

“You will have to go,Laura,you are the artistic one."

Off Laura went, still holding her piece of bread and butter. It is so delicious to have an excuse for eating outside and, besides, she loved having to arrange things; she always felt she. could do it so much better than anybody else.

Four men carried poles covered with rolls of canvas and they had big tool bags on their backs. They looked impressive. Laura wished now that she was not holding that piece of bread and butter,but there was nowhere to put it and she couldn't possibly throw it away. She blushed(脸红） and tried to look severe and even a little bit short-sighted as she came up to them.

＂Good morning,"she said,copying her mother's voice. But it sounded so awful that she was ashamed, and hesitated, like a little girl, “Oh-erm-have you come -is it about the tent?”

“That's right, miss,” said the tallest of the men, and he moved his tool bag, pushed back his straw hat and smiled down at her."That's it.”

32. Who is responsible for the garden party?

A.Jose. B.Laura. C. Meg. D.Mother.

33.How did Laura feel when meeting the workmen?

A. Frightened. B.Shocked. C.Awkward. D.Confused.

34.Which of the following can best describe Laura?

A.Childish and nervous.

B.Artistic and forgetful.

C. Determined and serious.

D.Dependent and honest.

35.Which is the best title for the text?

A. The tent to build."

B. The men at work.

C.The party to come.

D.The gardeners on duty.

I was six years old and my sister, Sally Kay, was a submissive(顺从的）three. For some reason,I thought we needed to earn some money.I decided we should "hire out" as maids. We visited the neighbors, offering to clean houses for them for a quarter cents.

Reasonable as our offer was,there were no takers. But one neighbor telephoned Mother to let her know what Mary Alice and Sally Kay were doing.Mother had just hung up the phone when we came bursting through the back door, into the kitchen of our apartment. “Girls,” Mother asked, “ Why were you two going around the neighborhood telling people you would clean their houses?”

Mother wasn't angry with us. In fact, we learned afterwards, she was amused that we had come up with such an idea. But, for some reason, we both denied having done any' such thing. Shocked and terribly hurt that her dear little girls could be such“bold-faced(厚颜无耻的）liars,"Mother then told us that Mrs. Jones had just called to tell her we had been to her house and said we would clean it for a quarter.

Faced with the truth, we admitted what we had done. Mother sai
